Calvary Baptist Sunday School house was comfortably filled last night by the mem; bers of the executive committee of the District of Columbia Christian Endeavor Union. President Shand and Secretary Sleman occupied seats at the desk. After the customary devotional exercises and roll call, the committee settled.down to business. There was received an applica- tion for membership to the union on behalf of the Eckington Presbyterian Sunday School Christian Endeavor Society, which was cordially accepted. The application stated that the membership numbered nearly twenty-five, mostly active members. Announcementseof union committees for the ensuing year were also made. Chairman Smith’s Report. Reports were called for, the first one being from the committee of ‘06, read by Mr. W. H. H. Smith, chairman. This re- Port recounted the value to Washington in sending such a large de¥egation to the Bos- ton convention and spoke of the good im- Pression the District delegates made upon those who are in the not-far-distant fu- ture to be their guests. The loss of the committee’s furniture by the recent fire at the ¥. M. A. was mentioned and the union congratulated over the saving from harm of the committee's valued records and the much-prized Chinese ‘umbrella, just awarded at Boston. Recommendations to the following effect were made: That Mr. Grant Leet of Gunton Temple Memorial Church be elected to the committee of '86 chairman of the printing committee, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. L. A. Conner, jr.; that Mr. Her- bert E. Morgan be also eiected as member of said committee, to fill the vacancy caus- ed by the transfer of Mr. W. W. Tuckey to the hall committce; that Mr. John B. Sleman, jr., chairman of the press commit- tee of the committee of '96, be also elected chairman of the union press committee for the ensuing year; that Mr. Norman T. El- Nott of the Central Presbyterian Church and Mr. C. C. Slocum of the Vermont Ave- nue Christian Church be elected members of the committee on entertainment of the committee of '96. These recommendations were unanin.ously adopted. Work of the Press Committee. - Most encouraging was the report of the Press committee, showing that the union paper, “The Endeavorer,” had been placed on a sound financial basis and closed the year free from debt and with generous sup- |- port. The.report suggested that the circuta- tion of this paper be widely extended and largely increased, especially during the com- ing months, when much valuable informa- tion would be given concerning the pre- paratory work of arranging the details of the coming convention. It was urged that one member in each society act as can- vasser und procure subscriptions. Hearty applause broke forth at the-conclusion of the reading of the report. President Shand supplemented it by a few words, explaining how the good lterature committee of the Calvary Church had orderéd-a year's ‘sub- scription to the “‘Endeavorer” placed to the credit of every Baptist pastor in the city, and suggested that this example be followed by other denominations. Announcements were» made as to the general mass meeting to be held Friday evening, August 9, in tHe Luther Piace Memorial Church, at which all the societies in the District would be present and plenty of bright speeches would be crowded into the hour and a half of echoes of Boston. At this meeting the Chinese umbrella of state will be formally presented to the Dis- trict union. Union Committee Members.

Poor Joe Sands, the Texan, who thought he would ratherogo south than take the chances of going down on the farm, chang- ed his mind when he got out of the Potice Court, and went to a part of the city where he was not known,.and there he thought he could continue his spree and have an- other of his so-called “good times” with- out the fear of again getting arrested. He miscalculated every inch of his under- taking, for while it may be hot down in Texas, he found a hotter place than the lone star state this morning when he vis- ited the temple of justice on D street. When he was in court last week and was given twenty-four hours in which to leave the District he did not give a solemn prom- ise to go, but merely said “yes,” and then added that he saw no reason why he should be compelled to leave the nation’s capital. Acting under the belief that he was known to the police only in the sixth precinct, he went up 7th street in the second precinct, where fe proceeded to drink some of the cheap whisky in the groggeries. Police- man Gibson, who had seen Joe in court last week and knew the promise he had made, placed Sands under arrest. “What are you going to take me in for?” the intoxicated Texan wanted to know. “I haven't done anything,” he added, “ex- cope that I've been down at the mission.” {ter spending the morning in the “sweat box” he headed Judge Scott’s procession. Policeman Gibson told the court of the arrest, while the nervous Texan stood at the rail and listened. He had nothing to say, and the judge sent him down on the farm for thirty days to get the whisky out of him. : Went Down for Fifteen Days. William Walker, another man whose love for strong drink has brought him down to a police cell, was in the dock as a vagrant and suspicious person. He plead not guilty. “L arrested him for sleeping in a va- cant house on Brewer street,” said Officer Stamler, “and he had been there before. I had warned him about it, but he did not heed the warning. And judge,” he added, “he loafs about Northeast Washington with all the toughest loafers and drunk- ards in that locality.” “I only stopped in the house last night because I was scared to go home,” said the prisoner, “We had had a keg of beer over in the alley and I got drunk.” “But,” said the court, “you had been there before?” “If I ha he answered, “I’m not a va- grant. My people own property here and I can get what I want.” “If they have property,” the judge said, “you had better stop getting drunk. Fif- teen days.” Frightened Men and Women. Henry Ware, a black man, whose con- duct indicated that he was just as happy in the tolls as when he was in Lawyer Moss’ peach orchard, answered a charge of va- grancy by pleading “not guilty.” Sergeant Anderson and two colored men and women were witnesses against him. A man answering his description has been in the woods beyond Anacostia for several days, and so far as the residents of the county are concerned he has lived on fruit and has frightened many persons. “We were out in the woods picking huckleberries the other day when we met this man,” said one of the young men. “He ‘was-in- the peach orchard,.and: when he saw us at the spring he came over and made us run.” that the only time you saw him the court asked. sir; we met him there several “And a man answering his description,” said the officer, “has been there in the woods for several weeks.” “That's all dead wrong,” said the pris- oner. “I've never been in the woods, and as for a peach orchard, [ ain't been in one since I was down in Virginia.” = “But three witnesses say }0u were there,” Mr. Pugh remarked; “how do you account for their statements? “They are liable to say anything,” he answered, “when -they want to make money." “Where do you n Navy place. “What were you doing In Anacostia yes- terday?” “I had been over there to see my wife and children.” He referred to Policeman Clinton, who he thought would tell of bis good char- acter, but the officer said he knew Henry only as a man who worked and spent all ve?” his money for whisky. | A sentence of thirty days was imposed. Joseph McCoy stopped near 28th and M streets, Georgetown, last night, to’ give a man.a match, and Policeman Birkight ar- rested him for obstructing the pavement. “Complaints have been made by the chureh-goers about these people <n the sidewalk,” said the officer, “and last night I found this man there and arrested him.” “I have not been in the habit of stand- ing there,” said the man. “This is a good time to make up your FOR CURES SGROFULA, BLOOD POISOM.

The.Boy Was Acquitted. Mal. Francis was locked up all night, and was in the procession this morning, and he had not violated any law. Last night he tried to look under he curtain at a 10-cent show on 7th street an the ticket seller had him arrested. Policeman Estes made the arrest on com- plaint of the showman. “I happened to witness this arrest,” sald William Johnson, a volunteer witness, “‘and it was a most unwarrantable affair. The colored boy was there in the crowd, and because he tried to look undet the curtain the showman rushed at him, and the Loy threw up his hands in self-defense. The oliceman was called from the show and ie made the arrest.” The boy made a similar statement, and was acquitted. John Moody, a little boy from Virginia, was in tho procession as a vagrant. He came over to sell a chicken for his mother, = he said, and Policeman Passau arrested The officer charged that the boy had been sleeping in vacant houses, Personal bonds. Policeman Miller does not know Judge Bcott. He appeared against three Greeks for disorderly conduct, and used terms that are supposed to be used only in bar room and police circles, which the judge did sot understand. “They are continually ‘chasing the duck,’ ”’ the officer said. “And what is that?" asked the court, in astonishment. “Rushing the growler,” answered the of- ficer. “I know no more now than I did before.” “I mean sending tin cans for beer.” In the next breath the officer said une of them was on a “jag,” and after a long trial Judge Scott disposed of the case and pro- ceeded with the other business. lity to lown be- — ROYAL BAKING ‘POWDER Absolutely Pure.
