SOCIETY ** | One That Looks Out for the Siok and Dnem- ployed. And Provides Agaiiint Loss of Tools— ps Amaiversary of the Wash- ington! Branch. The fourth annivet4iry of the Washing- ton branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners occurs next Tues- day, but the event will not be celebrated by the members until the following Mon- day evening, on the occasion of the regu- lar meeting. An interesting program of ex- ercises will be presented. The branch was organized July 23, 1891, with thirteen members...The officers were Mr. F. Sankey, president; Mr. John Knight, secretary, and’Mr. E. Burley, treasurer. Since that time there, have beén nearly 100 accessions, The objec’ of the organization is some- what different from that of most bene- ficial societies, the plan being very com- prehensive. Besides looking generally after the interests of carpenters and joiners, it is the purpose of this organization to pro- vide against lack of employment, loss of tools by fire, water or theft; sickness, acci- dent, old age or death. There are now in the parent society be- tween 43,000 and 44,000 members, with a capital, at the time of the date of the last report, December last, of . $437,726.96, or $10.17 per member, all of which is in avail- able cash, except & comparatively small portion, which is invested in a building in which the home offices are located. What Members Are Entitled To. Members are entitled to all benefits by paying 35 cents per week and 9 cents per quarter to the coutingent and benevolent fund, and 9 cents per quarter for the sup- port of an organizer. Free members are entitled to tool benefits, to any amount of loss by fire, water er theft not exceeding $140 in one claim. When any of these loss- es occur to a member of but six months’ standing his claim must be limited to $21. Any free member losing employment through loss of tools by fire, water or theft is immediately entitled to unemployed ben- efit. Any member who may be discharged for holding office is entitled to full wages and the cost of removing his family to the place at which he obtains employment. When a sick member recovers from his illness, if he is out of employment, he is at once entitled to unemployed benefit. There is also a benefit of $700 to members who may become totally disabled by ac~ cident, and of $350 to those who may be- come partly disabled from the same cause, There are also a superannuation benefit for life to those who have been members for eighteen years, and a larger sum for those who have been connected with the society for twenty-five years, and a funeral beneft for not only the members, but the wife of the latter. The society now has 678 branches, forty of which are in the United States; and eight in Canada, and has also spread over the British Isles, New Zealand, Australia and South. Africa. The income last year was $578,795, and the sum expended for benetits amounted to $473,570. Recently a trade. section ‘of the society, which has already become quite flourish- ing, was established for the beaefit of those whose age will not ipetmit them to join the ordinary section as full members. Candidates for this.isegtion must be not less than forty nor more than sixty years of age, and in return for the fees receive benefits guaranteed Bs} follows: For leav- ing employment under Circumstances satis- factory to the brapgh, if a member three months, 32.10 per wéek, and if a member six months, $4.90 per week, as also a tool benefit In case of foss of not exceeding $55, and accfdeat b members totally disabled~ $350; while & olent grants will be made according ‘to“circumstances in cases of distress, * the !omecers. Mr. A. Hargravg was) born in Toronto, Canada, in 1871. He was educated In the schools of that city, learned his trade there He came to Washingt about three years ago, and at once united with the Washington branch of the Amal- gamated Society of Carpenters and Join- ers. He was chossn president at the last election. He is an un- tiring worker, and has the interest of his soclety much at heart. The present officers of the Washington branch are Mr. A. Hargrave, president; Mr. A. Hargrave. Mr. A. Murray, secretary, and Mr. E. Bur- ley, treasurer. Secretary Murray was born near Aber- deen, Scotland, in 1864, and received his education in the best schools of that place. After leaving school he apprenticed him- self to his father, who was a promin- ent employing car- penter, and learned his trade with him. After becoming a full-fledged mechanic he removed to Edin- burgh, Scotland, where, in 1888, he joined the Amalga- mated Society of Carpenters and Join- ers, and has been a member ever since. On reaching this Secretary Murray. country Mr. Murray, for a time lived in Philadelphia, but about a little over four years ago came to Washing- ton, where he has since resided. He is re- garded as an extremely hard worker; was one of the charter members of the branch in Washington, and has always. been one of its most enthusiastic supporters. Mr. Mur- ray is alsu a delegate from the branch to the Federation of Labor and Carpenters’ Council. While in Edinburgh he attended the even- ing classes at Herrot Watt College, pass- ing the London science and art examina- uuons in building, construction and practical plane geometry, and received first-class cer- tificates from each. He also took second prize in the evening class of the college. Treasurer Burley, who has cared for the finances of the branch ever since its organization, is a na- tive of Leicester, England, having been born there in 1851. He was edu- cated in his native town, and atso learned his trade there. He joined the society at Notting= ham, England, twen- ty-two years ago; and is now one of Le veterans of the 6r- ganization. He came Treasurer Burley. to Washington direct from England, during May, 1889. Like Mr., Murray, he is a hard worker for the cause of organized labor. He has been a delegate Jo the Federation of Labor, his term, ds such expiring a few days ago. 4 —_——— Case of Ex:Consal Waller. Mr. Crammond Kennedy of this city and Mr. McGuinn of Baltimore have become associated with Mr. J. “M. Langston as counsel for ex-Consul Waller now lan- guishing in a French prison for offenses alleged to have been committed against the French authorities in Madagascar. Ac- cording to Mr. Langston, the question of the arrest of Mr. Waller and his stepson, Mr. Bray, Is not the only point involved in this case, but back of it is the question of the title to the concession made to Wal- ler by the Hova government. The land quest‘on, Mr. Langston said, will be pressed independently of the matter of Waller's re- lease from prison, though the latter feature of the case will not be neglected. Mr. Langston also declared that the United States government had taken hold of the entire matter with sincerity and vigor, and that the American representatives having anything to do with the question in any capacity have received renewed instruc- tions within the past two or three days to press thé consideration of the matter. ———— John T Etiis, the newspaper corre- spondent, who fell on the stairs of the Hotel Thorndyke at Boston Tuesday, frac- turing hig skull, died. Mr. Ellis was well known in newspaper circles in New York, Chicago, St. Louis and Washington. A STRIKE POSSIBLE|ELECTRICAL WORKERS Chances of Tronble Between Boss Bakers and Drivers, Citizens May Find Themselves With- ut Bread Some Fine Morning— How the Trouble Arose. There are ominous ‘forebodings of grave trouble impending oetween the boss bakers of Washington end Drivers’ Assembly, No. 104¢, Knights of Lavor, which, unless prompt steps are taken by the former to arrest it, may come to a crisis in the near future, and a strike cccur beside which that of the Anacostia raflroad employes, which has just been settled, was not a cit cumstance. In the latter probably not more than 4,000 or 5,090 persons were di- rectly interested, while in the case of the former hardly less thun half the popula- tion will, if the strike occurs, become more or less involved. A report, which is said to have come from one of the boss bakers of the city, reached the members of Drivers’ Assembly several days ago that a movement was on foot among their employers, who are organized as the Boss Bakers’ Exchange, to black lst the members of the local assembly for no other reason than that they are mem- ters of a eorleey, which is affiliated with o labor. At the first meeting which followed the receipt of the surprising news, as told above, the subject having been meanwhile investigated by Secretary Nairn of the Drivers’ Assembly, and ascertained, as it is said, to be correct, resolutions were denouncing the movement on the part of the boss bakers as “cowardly and un- American, and pledging the members to stand by each other to the extent of order- ing a general strike in all shops controlled or operated by the members of the Boss Bakers’ Exchange, if they persisted in carrying out their threat. The resolutions also asserted the right of wage earners to organize and protect their mutual interests, | and maintaining the unquestionable right of every citizen to obtain employment wherever he can without having to be in =, of the black lst hanging over their is.” Copies of these resolutions were forward- ed to the Federation of Labor and District Assembly No. 66, Knighis of Labor, and oie by both at the last meeting of each. Members of the Boss Bakers’ Exchange who have been questioned in regard to the matter deny all knowledge of any such intention on their part, but the drivers maintain that they have good reason for the stand they have taken. As nearly every driver in the city be- lorgs to the local assembly and each prac- tically controls the route he serves it seems almcst suicidal for the boss bakers to attempt to carry out any such scheme as to black list the drivers. It is true the boss bakers own the horses and wagons, by means of which the bread is delivered to customers, but in almost every instance the prosperity of the route is mainly de- per-dent upon the popularity of the driver. In most instances the lattey are paid a small salary and a commission, the re- ceipts of the latter varying as the trade in- creases or decreases, and there is scarcely a single driver who cannot carry the great majority of his customers to whatever baker he may. be emplayed. Should such a contingency as a strike take place the drivers are confident that they will Fave the sympathy of the people who are served by then, and in this event they would have the utmost confidence in securing a victory. A sudden strike of the drivers would mean that not less than 100,000 people in Washington would be put to great incon- venience on the succeeding morning for bread, and those who keep in touch with the trend of events in labor matters and are aware of the immense interests in- muiget view the situation with much alarm. —————__ AT MARTHA’S VINEYARD. Washingtonians Who Are Summering at That Popular Island. Correspondence of The Evening Star. MARTHA'S VINEYARD, July 18, 1895. The raw and chilly weather which has prevailed for the past fortnight has dam- pened the ardor of the average Vineyard landlord, while overcoats and open grate fires were in demand, and the landlords prayed for a hot wave. The regular so- journers are here and the cottages are well filled. Hundreds of visitors make it a point to frequent the Vineyard on the Fourth to avoid the nolse of the patriotic cities, but there was a lull in the rush this vear, occasioned, no doubt, by the raw weather, but the remainder of July and the prolonged hot and sultry August weather will bring the usual number. Among the conspicuous social events of the week was the Martha Washington party given by Mrs. M. V. Phillips, who is this season oc- cupying the Josiah Quincy cottage at the “Chop.” During the afternoon they had a sailing party in the harbor and sound, and terminated the festivities at the cottage during the evening. A large colony of army and navy people make up the summer per- sonnel of this place, and in addition to those pr2viously mentioned the following have joined: Col Thomas F. Barr of the judge advocate general’s department; Capt. James 8S. Pettie, first infantry, wife and children; Mrs. Col. Scott of Washington and her daughter8, Martha and Nina. Hay rides are in order frequently, and many excursions are made to Lake Tashmoo. The poets and painters have not discovered thie getn of a lake yet, which rises at the celzbrated Tashmoo Springs and empties into Vineyard sound, which stretches, a sheet of sapphire blue, away in the distance to grand old ocean. Some day this match- less land-locked sheet of water will be a great source of inspiration. ——.——.. Looki for a Horse. Robert Kinnear, the owner of a livery stable in Baltimore, hired a team at Calla- han’s livery stable here yesterday, and went to Colesville, Montgomery county, id., im search of a horse and buggy that had been stolen from him, so he alleges, by William Cisseil Grimes, the young man who has given the officers of the law, both here ard in Mi&ryland, so much trouble. Detective Barringer of Baltimore and De- tective Rhodes of this city accompanied him. The stolen property was recovered, but one of the hired horses died of colic, and if the Baltimore man has to pay for the dead horse he will not gain much by recovering his property. Mr. Kinnear drove on to Baltimore, and the detectives return- ed home this morning. ——— Transfers of Real Estate.

Activity of the Loca! Union in This Behalf—An Interesting Meet- ing Held. The movement inaugurated by President John M. Berger of Local Union No. 26 of Electricel Workers of Washington to have the aprroaching convention of the Nation- al Brotherhood of the order held in this city is ‘meeting with the most surprising success and has secured one friend at least in the executive board, which has final ccntrol of the matter, as a letter from Secretary-Treasurer J. T. Kelly, which was received this morning by Mr. Berger, will show. “As far as I am concerned Individually,” writes Mr. Kelly, “I would tike to see the convention in Washington, as I have never had the pleasure of visiting our capital city and should like to take the trip. How- ever, this will rest entirely with our unions. I would suggest that No. 26 send in a for- mal request for the convention and also that you present a few reasons in your communication for the Worker why the convention should be held in Washington. This would probably call the attention of some of our untons to the advantage of holding a conyention in Washington who would otherwise be indifferent as to where the convention would be held.” Philadelphians Favor It. President Berger also received a commu- nication from Mr. C. W. Elliott, recording secretary of Local Union No. 41, Electrical Workers, of Philadelphia. { He writes as follows: “I have the pleas- ure to inform you that No. 41 cheerful! acéeded to your request in reference to te dorsing Weshington for the meeting place of the coming corvention by an unanimous vote, and have so informed Grand Secre- tary-Treasurer Xelly. With the very best wishes of No. 41 for the success of No. 26 in having the convention in Washington.” The subject of the coming convention oc- cupled a large share of the attention of the members of Local Union No. 26 at its meeting last night, and much enthusiasm on the subject was exhibited. Assuming from the number of favorable replies received by President Berger to let- ters sent out to the various unions in every portion of the United States that Washing- ton will be the place of meeting selected, the committee of arrangements, of which Mr. R. F. Wetzel is chairman and Mr. J. M. Berger secretary, has arranged an inter- esting program to be carried out on the oc- casion. It will include a visit to the White House and reception by President Cleve- land, a trip to the top of Washington monu- ment, the various national buildings and places of ,general interest, a large street parade at night, in which all the societies connected with organized labor in the Dis- trict will be asked to participate, a grand d-eplay of fireworks, visits to the theaters and a trip to Marshall Hall and Mount Ver- non. The Evening Star Appreciated. During the meeting last night resolutions appreciative of The Star for the publica- tion of labor news were passed and much other business transacted. Applications for membership as journeymen were received from John Collias and Wm. ‘H. Balser, and as apprentices from John Gloyd and Wm. Seim. A. Mau was reinstated. An application for two men was received from the Georgetown and Tenleytown Rail- road Conmany, and the paper was filed. On motion, it was determined that the uniform to be worn by the members of the union in the Labor day parade shall con- sist of blue overalls, light shirt and cap, with miniature electric lamp in front. ———.——_ MR. MacCAULEY IN JAPAN. The Former Pastor of All Souls’ and His Unique School. In a letter to the New York Herald Mr. Cockerill says of Rev. Clay MacCauley, for- merly of All Souls’ Church in this city: “There is, in this capital of the Japanese empire, an institution unlque and remark- able. It is the ‘Senshin Gakuin,’ or School for Advanced Learning. It is part of the work of the American Unitarian Associa- tion iu Japan, and its chief support and inspiration comes, it is hardly, necessary to say, from Boston. This school was es- tablished four years ago. The second com- mencement exercises were held on the 19th instant, and despite the rainy weather nearly 400 persons assembled in the hall to enjoy them. Addresses were delivered by two graduates, one on ‘Japanese Ancestor Worship,” and the other on ‘Indtvidual- ism.’ The ex-president, Mr. Hiroyuki Kato, delive-ed an address on ‘Occidental and Oriental Ethics,’ a most worthy and thoughtful production. “At the head of the Senshin Gakuin stands Mr. Clay MacCauley, president and founder, whose published essay on ‘The Religious Problem in Japan; How Solve It? has been widely read and quoted. His school has so far had more than forty students, who have devoted themselves to scientific and philosophical study of religion, ethics and svciul sclence. The method is perfect- ly free inquiry—no prejudice being mani- fested toward any existing religion. It ts the only school of the kind in Japan, and there are few like it in the world. The faculty is composed of seven members, and the examinations are rigid. There are no text books, all teaching being through lectures and essays. There are Christians, Buddhists, Shintoists and Confucianists by education and association in the faculty,« but all have the same object in view— search for the truth wherever it may be found. Mr. MacCauley is a Christian, but he interprets Christianity as large enough to include the abject. “The building in which the school Is maintained is calied epuliteukwan nity Hall). Its value, with the grounds, 1s 22,000 yen. It was bullt out of the subscriptions of the American Unitarian Association. The Japaa mission of the American Uni- tarian Association has a publication de- partment and church extension depart- ment, besides Mr.’ MacCauley’s Free Thought School. Under these auspices pamphlets and books are printed and sent out, designed to further the study of re- ligious ethics and soctal science, and a monthly magazine called Shukyo (Religion) is published, which Is an open arena for thinkers, dealing with themes concerning the higher life of the Japanese people. This magazine has been in existence about four years, und it is a decided formative force in the Hterature of Japan. Its lst of contributora contains some of the ablest and most advanced thinkers in Japan—native and foreign. “In the winter of 1889, believing that his health might be helped and feeling that Mr. MacCauley might be of come use to Japan, he accepted the superintendency of this mission in Tokyo and came out. He has done a vast deal of work here. He has a pleasant home and fine library in the nelghborhood of the famous Fukuzawa Schocl He is personally popular among Japanese scholars and men of letters, and is a fluent Japanese talker. He writes a Breat deal for his own and other _maga- zh.es. He expects to publish ‘Funda- mental Truths in Philosophy’ at an early date, and also ‘Philosophy of Religion.’ He {fs at work on ‘An Introductory Course in the Japanese Language,’ an ambitious and laborious product. “{ can bear personal testimony to the excellence of the work being carried on here. No foreign mission is so popular as his, because of his Mberality and geniality. I trust that his Unitarian friends in Boston and throughout the United States will make note of his excellent service and give him a hearty and substantial support.” Ss eS Naval Orders. {eut. J.

The twenty-second Grand Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity will be held at Cin- cinnati, Ohio, July 25, 26 and 27. The fra- ternity is composed of forty-five active and eight alumni chapters in the different col- leges and cities of the United States. There is an active membership of about 000, and the alumni represent about 5,000. Three years ago President Cleveland was initi- ated into this fraternity, and at his inzug- uration, in 1893, the fraternity presented him with a handsome diamond badge,which he wore on that occasion and at the in- augural ball. The fraternity is well represented in Washington by the Washington Alumni Chapter and the active chapter “Epsilon,” at Columbian University. The officers of the alumni chapter are Dr. G. N. Acker, president, Mr. Theo. W. Noyes, vice presi- dent; Mr. F. W. McReynolds, secretary, and Mr. Wm. J. Acker, treasurer. The del- egate elected to represent the alumni chap- ter at Cincinnati is Dr. Robt. Farnham, with Dr. G. N. Acker alternate. The dele- gate frcm Epsilon will be Mr. Robert Farnham, jr., with Mr. Leroy Parker as alternate. This being the forticth anni- versary of the organization, the convention is expected to be one of the most important in the history of the order, as several rad- ical and important measures will be called up, especially in regard to the government of the fraternity, the ritual and the adop- tion of a flag and coat of arms. Most im- portant, however, is the question to be de~ cided as to the voice the active chapters will have in the granting of new charters. From accounts received from Cincinnati it looks as if there will be a large attend- ance, and the Cincinnati alumni are mak- ing extensive preparations to entertain the visiting brothers. Gen. Benjamin Runkle, cne of the founders, will deliver an address to the members. The head of the fraternity Is composed of a “grand consul,” and has been ably represented for the last three years by Mr. Reginald Fendall of this city. At this con- vention it will elect a new grand consul and other officers. There are many candi- dates in the feld. Mr. Fendali has been asked to run and other candidates mentioned are br. F. A. Scratchley of New York city, Rev. Dr. Theo. K. Gessler of New York, Dr. E. E. Montgomery of Phila~ delphia, Pa.; Dr. R. Farnham, Washington, D.C.; Judge Jemes Newman, Oxford, Ohio; Judge Howard Ferris, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Walter L. Fisher, » Ill. It is expected a large delegation ill go from this city. i eee New York at Atlanta. The New York state commissioners to the exposition at Atlanta have established headquarters at the Gilsey House. The com- missioners have just returned from Atlanta. The intended exposition, they say, will un- doubtedly rank next to the world’s fair in Chicago in importance, size and attendance, The indications are that it will exceed the centennial exposition. The commissioners are satisfied that no such opporcunity has ever been presented to the northern people to reach ail classes of southern trade and to establish commercial and social relations with the south.
