The first annual excursion of the Protec- tive Street Railway Union and many of the friends of the members took place today to River View, and the steamer Samuel J. Pentz was used for the occasion. So many tickets were sold that the excursion was an assured success before the Penta left her wharf. The object of the excursion was to in- crease the sum in the treasury, which ts de- voted to help sick members. No effort was spared by the committee of arrangements to provide abundance of pleasure for all who participated. The principal feature of the program was a game of base ball between a nine from the Jolly Fat Men's Club and a nine from among the ‘Metropolitan Railway Com- pary’s employes. At the picnic held a few weeks ago at Chevy Chase under the auspices of the union, the same teams were contestants, and the former won. ‘The program also comprised target shoot- ing, bowling, boat racing, foot-racing, ete. The excursionists are not expected to re- turn to the city until a late hour. ——.—__ The Mest Popular Lady. A contest, open to all ladies employed in this city by Uncle Sam, has been in pro- gresa for a week. Three prizes have been offered by F. H. Wilson, the F street shoe man, to the ladies in the employ of the government who are decided by votes to be the most popular. The one receiving the highest number of votes will be given a free trip to Boston by sea and the other two can enjoy trips to Niagara Falls and Cape May. Each purchaser of 60 cents worth of goods in the store of Mr. Wilson is entitled to one vote, and from the num- ber of votes already cast it is evident that the rivalry in the different departments is becoming quite marked. The result of the voting will be announced on September 30, when a committee of prominent business and professional men will count the votes cast up to that date and announce the win- ners. —— A Query.

A Large Number of Prison in t ‘ Procession—How the Cases Were Treated. There were sixty-three prisoners in the cells this morning, and the Black Maria had to make several trips between the police stations and the court. Soon after the arrival of the prisoners they were given coffee and sandwiches, which strengthened them after a sleepless night in the station, but while waiting to be tried they were put through the “sweating pro- cess” in the cells, and many of the victims had to sit on the wet floor, in order to keep from suffocating. Justice Scott held the District end of the court today, and his procession was a long one, including most of the women, more than 50 per cent of the men and boys and one Chinaman. Judge Scott was on the bench at 9:30, and he used a large palm-leaf fan to reduce the tem- perature and keep away the files, whfle the prisoners used their hats as fans and wiped of the perspiration with their coat sleeves. Judge Scott’s First Appearance. It was Judge Scott's first attempt at dis- persing’ justice, and court had been in ses- sion only a few minutes when it was evi- dent that he was going to temper justice with mercy in a way that so many of the trifling cases deserved. Soon after court opened it developed that a few of the blue coats had done their best Saturday night ‘and yesterday to make records for them- selves, and some of their victims had been arrested without any justification whatever. There was a class of hot-weather cases, in which the police did not recelve much en- couragement, and some of them are now aware of the fact that it is not every man who sits on the sidewalk or curbstone that deserves punishment. The mere fact that liquor is .neticeable on a man’s breath does not bring him within the category of vio- lators of the law, unless he has committed Sa Offense, and Judge Scott will not so old. A sample case of occupying the sidewalk or curbstone was presented when a colored man named John Thomas was tried. “It i's ainst the law to sit on the curbstone, aid John, “then I'm guilty.” A policeman appeared cn the witness stand and told the court of the serious of- fense for which he had arrested Thomas. “He was on the sidewalk,” he said, “and was asleep.” It was late at night when the policeman made the arrest end the poor. man was there only because {t was so warm in the house that he could not sleep. “But I wasn't asleep,” he told the judge. Be yas only out there to get some fresh ‘Well, John,” said the kind-hearted dls- penser of justice, “‘you may go this time, and when you sit on the curbstone I would advise you to keep awake.” Had No Lamp on His Wheel. Robert Scett, a little colored boy who rides a bicycle, was in the procession after having been through the “sweating pro- cess,” and the charge against him was rid- ing his wheel without a lighted lamp at- tached thereto. “I'm guilty, judge,” arswered the little boy, as drops of perspiration streamed down his cheeks and gave him the appear- ance of shedding tears. “F was riding the wheel and I didn’t have no lamp.” “Didn't you know It was against the law?” the court inquired. “Yes, sir.” : ‘Then why did you violate the law?” “Well, judge,” the boy said, “I works for Policeman Kopps, ard I had to work late. I couldn't stay out there all night, and so Trode home.” “But why didn’t you have a light on your wheel?” “I ain't got no lamp; that’s the reason.” “Five dollars,” and the little boy went back to go to the work house. Moses Berry, an old colored citizen who was never known to harm anybody, was in the procession because he had been drinking and was a little boist2rous. “Are you guilty?” he was asked. ‘Not that I know of,” was his answer. “If I said or did anything wrong I don’t know it.” “What was the trouble, Moses?” Judge Scott asked. “No trouble ’tall,” he answered, “if you "scuse a couple of drams.” “How many drinks had you taken?” “Only two or three.” “Does any one in court know you?” “Yes, sir.” - “I know him,” volunteered Lawyer Mar- tin. “I've known Moses for eight years, and I know he has always been a good, peaceable man." “And it's been several years since I was arrested,” the colored man added, dif you let me go it will be several more. “Take his personal bonds,” said tho judge, and Moses was once more a happy Fined for Fast Driving. Thomas McIntire appeared next on charges of fast driving and disorderly con- duct. He wore no yest nor coat, and his undershirt was in a condition that made him look as if he had figured in a fight. Bladensburg road was the scene of his trouble yesterday. “‘And,” said Officer Stearns, “after I got him in the wagon he was abusive.” “There are two sides to every story,” said McIntire. “I was only protecting my horse and wagon from intruders.” His conduct was the cause of the impo- sition of a $10 fine. “I'm guilty,” answered a colored girl named Mary Sherman, “but I would like to excuse myself.” “T'll do the excusing if there's any to be done,” sald the court. “What do you want to say?” “Well, judge,” answered Mary, “if you let _me off I'll be very thankful.” “Why should I let you off “I'm poor this morning,” was her plea, “and ain’t got no money. I works, and if you let me go I certainly will behave my- self.” “Well, Mary,” said the judge, ‘it’s hot weather and I don’t want to send you down. This time I'll give you a trial.” John Keadle, who was an occupant of a sidewalk, was not satisfied to slit on the curbstone, but he stretched himself across the foot pavement in a manner to cause an obstruction. “I'm guilty,” answered the respectably dressed man, who stated no reason for his conduct, and the usual fine was imposed. Policeman Boland and others appzared in the case of a number of white and coiored men and boys who were arrested on the railroad near Benning Saturday, at a place that was frequented by tramps all last_winter. “This is the youngest crowd of tramps "remarked Mr. Pugh, “but I see no reason why the Djs- trict should feed them.” “Nelther do I," said the judge, and the alleged tramps were released to leave the District. A Party of Tramps. A second party of tramps from the same place appeared. These prisoners were full grown men, and some of them were sent down, while others were released. ery seldom drinks in dat part of de gald an old colored man, who an- swered to the name James Watkins. I suppose you were sick and the medi- @ went to your head?” queried Mr. Pugh. I didn’t say dat.” ‘Are ycu a working man?” “*Course I is," the old man answered; “how's a man gwine ter live if he don’t work?" Judge Scott released the old man and then disposed of the other members of the procession as they appeared. a Special Train for Berkeley Springs Saturdays.

An immense crowd of people assembled yesterday at River View to eee the daring tower diver, Speedy, make his jump from & platform eighty feet in the air to a tank containing three and one-half feet of wa- ter. The beats were all crowded during the day and the grounds were tested to their utmost capacity. It seems as though Speedy could dive off the monument, so easy is his leap from the tower, which is full elghty feet above the surface of the water in‘o which he jumps. Thousands held their breath while he was in tge air, and many bundreds of throats gave cheers when his head appeared above the water. The spacious grounds afforded a safe re- sort from the heat of the city, and those who took advantage of the opportunity to escape from the warm air in town were amply rewarded. Several thousand peopfe thought that the green lawna of Marshall Hall’ was the coolest place in existence yesterday, and the beautiful place was thronged all day long with the anxious seekers, not after knowledge, but after breezes. They found them at the Hall in aburdance, and spent what would have otherwise been 2 most wretched day. The green grass and shady ncoks and corners of the bistoric old place looked deligiitfully cool end inviting, while the breezes from the river cooled many a heated head and soothed many children and babies to sleep. The grounds were crowded, ‘but their spacicusness afforded ample room: for all who grasped the oppor- tunity of getting away for a brief spell from the intensity of the heat of the city. Schroeder's orchestra rendered some ex- cellent music durivg the afternoon and evening, and added not a little to the pleas- ure of the day. The Ferris wheel was, per- haps, the most popular attraction, and many hundreds caught a glimpse of the beautiful scenery surrounding Marshall Hall from its towering height. Arrangements have all been completed for the excursion of Grand Canton, P. M., LO. O. F., to Bey Ridge tomorrow, and a most successful outing is locked forward to by all who hope to accompany the organi- zation. A great number have signified their intention >f going with the command, and the committee report a most encouraging sale of tickets. The Sycamore Club give their third an- nual excursion to River View tomorrow on the steam>2r Pentz. A successful time is predicted, and a large number of tickets have been told for the event. Dancing will take place alJ day and in the evening, while the especial attraction will be a prize waltzing contest. ‘The excursion of Naval Lodge, No. 4, F. A. A, M., takes place tomorrow evening at Marshall Hall. The steamer Macalester has been chartered for the occasion, and the most enjoyable event is expected by those who are looking forward to the out- ing. A large number of tickets have been sold, and it is expected that the boat will be tested to its fullest capacity. About 1,700 people took the trip to Colo- nial Beach yesterday on the steamer City of Richmond, and nearly every one spoke very highly of the management of both the boat and the grounds. The excellent salt water bathing and the crabbing, which are the finest on the river, were indulged in by many, while others strolled along the beach, whero cool breezes were to be found in abundance. The trip down was made in good time, and the return trip also in good time, with a merry crowd on board. Trips are made daily at 9 4.m., except Saturday, when a trip is made at 6 o'clock, and gives all a chance ta stay over night at this pop- Wlar resort. od BAPTIST VISITORS. They View the City and Will Have n Reception Tonight. Quite a number of delegates to the Bap- tist Young People’s Union who have been attending the sessions of the convention of that body in Baltimore. came over to the capital this morning to see the sights of the legislative, political and educational center of this country. They appeared in- tenscly interested in what they saw, and, notwithstanding the heat, they managed to see a great deal. Some of the visitors chartered "buses and drove over the city, to Arlington and the Soldiers’ Home, while others spent the day in the public buildings. Tonight at the Calvary Baptist Sunday School House a reception will be tendered them and the delegates from this city who have returned home. At that time an echo meeting of the convention wiil be held and some of the best speakers who attended that great convention will be present and address the crowd. These include President Chapman, Miss McLaurin of Boston, Dr. Stiffler and ly others, ‘Those’ who heard Miss McLaurin at the convention in 3oston, and again in Baltimore, will be glad to hear her again, and those who did not enjoy either pfivilege ought to ay themselves of this opportunity. The ev ing will be warm, but the big fan in the building will keep’ you cool. By attending this mecting strangers will be given a chance to see what Mr. B. F. Jacobs of Ch‘cago says Is the finest Sun- day school house in the world. —.__ A Monument to Gen. Smith. There 1s a movement on foot to erect’a monument to the memory of Gen. Green Clay Smith, who died a few weeks ago in this city. By direction of the Union Veter- ans’ Union, of which he was the past de- partment commander, Lett Flannery has been selected to prepare a design for the monument, to cost not less than $2,000. ‘At the last regular meeting of the John A. Logan Command, Department cf the Potomac, U. V. U., announcement of the death of Gen. Smith was formally made, and eulogies were delivered by Past Na- tional Commander Gen. S. S. Yoder, Col. H. L, Street, colonel of the command; Gen. W. C. Talley, Surgeon General S. S. Bond, John G. Birchfield, Capt. William A. Whit- ney, Chaplain F. F. Bogia, Quar| aster A. H. Beck, Adjutant General S. F, Hamil- ton and others. Gen. Talley offered resolu- tlons expressive of the esteem in which Gen. Smith was held by his comrades as a statesman, patriot, soldier and man, and the profound sorrow keenly felt by them at his loss. It was ordered that expressions of sympathy should be tendered his family, and that his portrait be draped for ninety days. 8 —_——_ Condition of the Armenians. Dr. A. Ayvazian of New York, secretary of the Phil-Armenian Association of Amer- fea, has written a letter to Rev. Hugh Johnston, D. D., pastor of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, warmly thanking him for the sermon he recently delivered in the interest of the persecuted Armenians, notice of which was at the time printed in The Star. Dr. Ayvazian, after reciting the condition of the survivors of the recent massacres and the suffering conseqit2nt upon loss of home and property, states that the porte has refused to allow further collections to be made in the churches in aid of the dis- tressed. He confirms in his letter the re- ported death of forty-five Armenians from starvation, and closes with a passionnte ap- peal to the Christian world in the name of human brotherhood to no longer tolerate the work of extermination of Armenians now being carried on by the Turkish gov- ernment. a Children of Maine. The members of the Sons and Daughters of Maine met at their rcoms, 707 G street northwest, for thelr regular sem{-monthly meeting Saturday evening last. Having disposed of tne routine business, Mr. O. H. Briggs, as chairman of the committee of entertainment, offered the following pro- gram, which was very favorably recetved by all present, especially the last number: “The Last Prayer at Hanney’s,” Mr. C. E. Crowell; “The Isle of Battle Hollen,” Mr. F. E. Barbour; “Heimgang” and “The Mansion That Endured,” original poems, by Mrs. Marian Longfellow O'Donoghue; “The Lightning Rod Dispenser,” Mr. 0. H. Briggs; recitation, “The Corsican,” Mr. F. O'Donoghue. a Overcome by Heat. Mrs. E. Crouse, who lives down the river near Marshall Hall, was overcome by the heat Saturday afternoon while selling pro- duce at the Center Market, and had to be sent to the Einergency Hospital for treat- ment. Six hours later Mary Perm, a colored woman, was taken sick in the market, the result of the hot weather, and she, too, received medical treatment at the hospital. Mrs. G. Chandler of Montgomery county, Md., while attending the Western Market Saturday afternoon was overcome by the heat. She was sent to the Emer- gency Hospital, where she soon recovered. —_ $1.25 to Baltimore and return, via B. and 0., July 27 and 28, DEATH WATCH SET Preparations for a Double Exeoution Next Beam and Taylor Preparing for the Fall of the Drop—Hope for Clem- ency in Tayler’s Case. Warden Leonard hes placed Joseph A. Beam and Thomas J. Taylor, the two mur- derers sentenced to be hanged here next Friday, under the watchful eyes of the death watch, and from now until the march to the scaffold is taken up the doomed men will be under the constant ob- servation of the prison officials, both day and night. The men are directed to be ex- ecuted between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., and unless the President interferes the men will be hanged at the same mo- ment. It is generally believed, however, that the sentence in Taylor's case will be commuted to either life imprisonment or to imprisonment for ten or fifteen years. Beam, as indicated in the recent intcr- view had with him by a Star reporter, has given up all hope of escaping tho death penalty, although his counsel are still en- deavoring to secure clemency for the un- fortunate man. Believing that he is of un- sound mind, they have petitioned the Prest- dent for a reprieve and for an inquiry as to the man’s mental condition. It is not thought that the President will interfere, however, and Beam is of that opinion him- self. He has been removed to the cell from which Travers marched to the scaffold last Friday, and has grown somewhat calmer. He is apparently less indifferent to his fate, and is evidently giving not a little thought to the world beyond the grave. [t {s a serious question with the jail officials, however, whether the man’s courage, real or assumed, will continue to the end, and not a few of them expect the murderer to collapse when told that the gallows xwaits him. Beam, however, indignantly denies that he will weaken, and declares that he will walk to death as bravely as a man confident of.a release from care and trou- ble is capable of. The man sleeps well and eats heartily, and seemingly derives much comfort from the visits of the Rey. John Roberts, a colored minister, Taylor is giving the-prison officials much concern, and they fear that if he 1s to hang he will have to be assisted to the scaffold. Notwithstanding the great effort which has been made in his behalf, the man has about given up all hope of a commuta- tion of the death sentence. He is daily visited by Father Sullivan of St. Peter's Catholic Church and spends all of his time in reading his Bible and prayer book. He occupies a large double cell, and Warden Leonard, to relieve his mental distress as much as possible, allows another prisoner to occupy the cell with him. But Taylor is in a very nervous condition, and unless the President interferes it 1s believed that an utter collapse will follow. He is frequently visited by relatives, but his aged mother, who lives, it is said, in Virginia, is reported to be too feeble to visit her son. Once in a while the man is visited by his little daughter, who is happily too young to realize her unfortu- nate father’s condition. Beam’s wife, the mother of the woman he killed, is about his cnly visitor, outside of his ‘counsel, al- though he has a mother and brothers and sisters living in Maryland. SS A Hot Weather Suggestion in Venti- lation. To the Editor of The Evening Star: About a year ago a short statement was published in The Star regarding the ex- treme difficulty of ventilating our city houses, as ordinarily bullt, in the summer season. It is pretty well recognized that if one can have a good night’s sleep he can stand almost any! degree of heat the following day. How often it is, however, }that on still nights it is next to impossible to be comfortable or obtain refreshing sleep, The most uncomfortable night I have ever had was fn a eify not 300 miles from Washington, and that, too, in a'large hotel. The only way in which any sleep at all could be had was to move the mat- tress close to the window on the floor, where the cool air very slowly settled down within a foot of the wail. We are told that we must open the windows at the top to get a circulation. I have tried every- thing in this direction. I have opened all three windows full at the top. Two full open at top and one at bottom. All three open at top and bottcm equally. The last is by far the best, unless the whole win- dow can come out. The remarkable thing is that the air is perfectly comfortable at a distance of only a foot and a half from the window. + It is easy to see that the whole difficulty lies In the fact that heated air has no tendency, when still, to move in any direc- tlon-except vertically. In the winter time with a difference of 40 or 50 degrees be- tween a room and the outside temperature there is a stronger inflow of cold air when a window is opened. This summer I have had an opportunity to test my views in a new house, and have made a discovery which will prove a great boon to every one sweltering In the upper rcoms of any house or hotel. I have gone to my room and found the air almost unbearable even at 10 o'clock on a still night. This room gets the full benefit of en afternoon sun. By opening the trap door to the roof there is almost a magical change; in less than five minutes the hot alr flows out at the trap door and the cool outside air flows in at the window. I have been very much sur- prised at the rapidity with which the room becomes entirely comfortable for sleeping. The easiest way to bring about this result is to get a stick about eighteen inches or two feet long, aiid prop up the door. If one stands in the opening he will feel a power- ful rush of the hot, stifling air through the passage. It is much better not to open the trap door till 9 or 10 p.m., when the air has cooled considerably on the outside. The greater the contrast in temperature be- tween the outer air and that in the room the quicker and the more thoroughly will the change take place on opening the trap door. H. A.

Ainsworth, with his wife, was out for a drive, and when at Dupont Circle the horse tcok fright and dashed down New Hampshire avenue at a fearful gait, and turned up 22d street. When about half way between L and the avenue the occu- pants were thrown out. They were taken up and carried into the store of Mr. Phil H. Ward, corner of 22d and K streets. Col. Ainsworth received a gash over the right eye, and Mrs, Ainsworth was considerably shaken up, and received several bruises and a cut or two on her lower limbs. After receiving medical attention they were sent to their home in Mr. Ward’s carriage. a Labor Day Parade. A meeting of Bakers’ Monumental Asso- clation, Knights of labor, No. 2389, wa% held Saturday afternoon at Plasterers’ Hall corner of Pennsylvania: avenue and 414 street.

A Sermon by the New President of Columbian University. Rev, B. L. Whitman, D.D., the newly- @lected president of Columbian University, occupied the pulpit of the First Baptist Church yesterday morning and delivered a sermon on “Christ's Knowledge of Man.” Dr. Whitman has been heard in this city before, having spoken from the same pul- pit during the recent sessions of the Southern Baptist convention, but his ser- mon yesterday ‘was the first he has preach- ed here since his election as head of Co- lumbian University. After the discourse, Dr. Stakely introduced the distinguished divine to a large numbér of the members of the congregation, which included mem- bers of the faculty and alumni of the uni- versity. At the Church of the Ascension yesterday morning Right Rev. C.
