GETTING READY FOR NEXT YEAR What Washington Will Have to Do to Entertain Her Guests. SOME STIRRING SPEECHES It was not quite Boston—the big echo mass meeting of Christian Endeavorers held last night at Luther Place Memorial Church—but it was a pretty faithful minia- ture picture of what the great Boston con- vention must really have been. If any one who last night helped to make up that large gathering which filled all the seating room the church on the triangle at 14th street and Vermont avenue afforded came into the meeting with an indifferent air and lukewarm heart, it could not have taken him long to catch much of that conta- gious enthusiasm which was bubbling over on all sides. The night was warm, but so great was the interest displayed, and so attractive was the program presented, that discomfort from excessively high tempera- ture was only a trifling matter that seem- ingly had no effect on the spirits. of the large assembly. Possibly the Washington ‘06 fans—a few left over from the 30,000 distributed in Boston—which were liberally passed arcund and more liberally used at the meeting had something to do with making torridity trifling. It was an interesting audience, made up as it was entirely of young people; strong, cheerful, hopeful, Christian young people banded together in an earnest endeavor to do right and promote the gocd. ‘They were brought together to hear more about the great gathering of delegates frcm all over this covntry and from all round this globe which was so recently held in Boston. Most of them had attend- ed at least cne cho meeting prior to the one last night, but that only made them the more eager for additional infarmation, for next to attending a convention itself, the greatest gcod results from listening to the accounts of those who did go and who speak entertainingly and instructive- ly of their impressions and experiences. The Decorations. Beautiful decorations made the Memorial Church unusually attractive. There was a handsome display of palms and flowers just inside the altar rail, while the organ loft was heavily draped with American flags and the Boston colors—crimson and white. The society’s emblem in front was surrounded by a triangle of white cnd red Boston '95 flegs, while over all was a “C. E,” monogram, worked in white and red immortelles, In front of the reading desk were dis- Played the District Union's relics, consist- ing of the silk banner awarded it in Cleve- land in "94, and the composite badge-ban- ner, both badly burned and damaged by the recent Y. M. C. A. fire, as was also the beautiful District banner, which has been se conspicuous In many C. E. conventions. To the right stood the ornate Chinese um- brella of state, awarded the District for the largest proportionate contribution to miss‘ons on the 2-cent-a-week plan during the year. The umbrella was presented to the United Society of Christian Endeavor two years ago by Rev. A. A. Fulton, D. D., a missionary at Canton, China, and is an- nually awarded to the state union having made the best missionary record. It is in 2ppearance not unlike an inverted Chinese Jantern. Its circular red top is supported by a bamboo pol2 surmounted by a gilt Gregon. From the unadorned top hangs the rickly embroid2red and bespangled siik drapery which forms the body of the much- prized umbrella, finished off with a fringe of vari-colored silk cord. Flying dragons, four-footed beasts and other symbolic ¢ce- s‘gns are fantastically worked out in gilt, and two streamers, having each a gilt orrament on its end, hang down one side Opening Exercises. Devotional exercises marked the opening of the meeting, and the first song which was sung at the convention—“Onward, Christian Soldiers’’—was last night given with a will, The first Scripture lesson which was heard in the Boston meeting— the 103d psalm—was read responsively. Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler, pastor of the church, offered prayer, and the Boston “Welcome Song,” composed especially for the occa- sion by Dr. Samuel F. Smith, author of “America,” was heartily sung. Then Presi- dent Miles M. Shand introduced Miss Anna J. Bell, president of Calvary Baptist Society, who gave a glowing account of the hearty and sincere welcume extended by the people of Massachusetts’ capital to the thousands of strangers who accepted the Invitation to be present at the con- vention. She said that the Washington delegates might have felt just a little fear- ful of an indifferent reception from the New England people, but far from being so, their welcome was so cordial and far- reaching that it extended even to Provi- dence, where the delegates wer2 met and escorted by Boston Endeavorers to their hotel in the convention city. She men- tioned the beautiful and abundant decora- tions which were on every hand, and said even nature greeted them, for worked out in flowers in the public gardens was an open Bible and a Christian Endeavor em- blem. Two spots, she declared, would ever be held in pleasant memory by the dele- gates—the Copley Square Hotel, where the Washingtonians were quartered, and the Union Congregational Church, the official headquarters of the District of Columbia. Convention Music. “Convention music is as near the heaven- ly as we may now expect to hear,” said President Shand, as he introduced Mrs. Frank Byram of the Westminister Presby- terlan Society, whose subject was “The Mvsic of the Convention,” and very appro- priaiely Mrs. Byram’s talk was sandwiched in between two inspiring convention songs-- “Sunshine in My Soul’ and “Scatter Sun- shine.” She spoke of the universality of song during tie five days in Boston, how it was heard before, during and efter every meeting, on the streets, in stores, on board trairs and street cars. She toll how the Washington delegates nightly gathered around the piano in the parlors of their hotel and held spirited song services. She did not forget to say a pleasant word for the Washington lead2r of one of the three mammoth choruses, Mr. Percy 8. Foster, and Mr. Elphonzo Youngs, jr., the cornetist, came in for his share of commendazion. Good Citizenship. Judge Anson S. Taylor followed, speaking of the good citizenship feature of the con- vention. “The Bible is the cornerstone cf government,” said Mr. Taylor, “and its teachings the principles upon which all civilization is builded.”” Good citizenship was given a prominent place in the con- vention proceedings, and no one, said he, could have attended the special rallies and visited the numerous places of interest in the Cradle of Liberty and recalled the events happening about the ume of Paul Revere’s ride without becoming more.thor- oughly American, more, firmly attached to the principles of nis own government and more than ever tetermined to support a free press, demand free schools and work. for pure politics. He said good citizenship meant the extermination of the saloon, whether it be located under the dome of the Capitol or in the meanest shanty, at which there was a burst of approving applause. Judge Taylor's remarks had a pairiotic ring to them and toucued a responsive chord. Minister's Standpoint. “A Pastor's Impressions” opened up a subject entirely too extensive for him to attempt to cover in a short talk, said Rev. J. G. Butler, D.D. But one noticeable fea- ture to him was the unbounded enthusiasm of every one. “Multiply this meeting to- night,” he said, “sixty times in numbers | and enthusiastic interest and you will have some idea of what an inspiriting gathering that in Boston.” Again, he regarded jas significant the spiritual uplift of the Christian Endeavor movement, its interde- nominational features solving, he thought, the great question of Christian unity. Dr. | Butier made a passing reference to the Y. M. C. A. and its efforts to erect a suit- ing, and that the audience was artily in sympathy with him association was evidenced by the [A CONVENTION ECHO| outbreak of vigorous applause which greet- ed his wish that a fine edifice be put up for the association’s needs. Looking Forward. Mr. W. H. H. Smith's subject was “A Glance Forward.” Much had been said, he stated, of what had been; but he wanted to speak of the great work definitely before the members of the District union. He was glad, he said, that so many of them had visited Boston in July, because they could better understand what was required of them in order to make the convention in "96 in this city a success. He impressed his hearers with the magnitude of the work to be done, and said, although Boston's ar- rangements were well-nign perfect, yet Washington must eclipse Boston if possible, if not in the completeness of the arrange- ments, yet certainly in the larger opportu- nities here presented for carrying them out, “Glance with me,” said Mr. Smith, who is chairman of the committee of '0, “first at the decorations. See every store, every shop, every car, every church draped with flags and colors, and in every meeting place decorations hanging from the roof, on poles and upon ropes. Look at the white-capped messengers and members of committees with their badges and ribbons— there will be between three and four thou- sand of them required to do the work— g0ing about the city, escorting guests, at- tending to details, perfecting arrange- ments. Then look to the time when the daily press catches the enthusiasm, and mammoth editions are run off and elab- orate accounts beautifully Illustrated are given descriptive of the movement. See the interest rising and swelling, watch del- egation after delegation filing through a crowded depot; trains delayed; homes, ho- tels, churches, streets, parks and public places filled with the arriving crowds. Im- agine four immense auditoriums, seating eight times as many as Convention Hall, packed with humanity, and other thou- sands out sightseeing and on excursions hecause there is no room for them in the meeting places. See them gather and listen to their songs, everybody singing, even the police—they did in New York and Boston and they will do so here. Look forward to all these things and you have only an imperfect idea of the events that shall certainly come to pass before another twelve months have rolled away. Between then and now lies an immense amount of untiring work; between then and now much sacrifice must be made if- we are to make the convention here a success. Mas- sachusetts and Pennsylvania are each g0- ing to send 10,000 delegates and Maine bargained to send one delegate for every Washington fan we distributed among them, and they got two or three thou- sand. There will be more than 100,000 peo- ple here, and it may be that we shall even have to hint that itis warm in Washington in July in order to keep a reasonable limit upon the number of visitors.” Mr. Smith sketched rapidly the vast influences for good a convention held in this capital city would have, not only directly upon the city itself, but also upon the varied outside in- terests which are here represented. His eloquent anpeal for united aid in the her- culean undertaking was listened to with the greatest attention. Missionary Work. During the evening the Chinese umbrella was formally presented to the custody of the missionary committee of .he union by Dr. Marion McH. Hull, the retiring chair- man, who made a few earnest remarks on missions and mission work, which were received with greater interest because the young man himself expects to go as a for- eign missionary after his preparations are completed. Miss Florence Shuffle, the rewly appointed chairman of the mission- ary committee, received the trophy. It is the intention of the Distrist Union not to allow the umbrella to pass cut of its pos- session, if it is possible by renewed mis- sionary activity and liberality to retain the distinguishing reward so recently re- ceived In Boston. — —-—_— LOOKING OUT FOR HER. A Woman Securing Employment in Order to Commit Thefts. The police are loaking for a coloref wo- man between forty-five and fifty years old, who has been getting employment at houses and then committing thefts. She is a woman with brown skin, and becsuse of her neat appearance she seems to have no trouble in making a good impression at houses where she gets employed. Ac- cording to complaints made against her, she remains at her places of employment only a few days, and then leaves with fine clothing or other valuables. A TEST CASE. A Neer Bottler Charged With Abetting the Sale of Liquor. Prosecuting Attorney Pugh has instituted proceedings against F. M. Herman, the beer bottler, charging him with aiding and abetting in the sale of liquor. This is the first case of the kind, and was brought as a test. It is claimed that he violated the law in furnishing bottled beer to Mrs. Bridget O'Malie, who kept a “speak-easy.” When the case was called in the Police Court this morning the defendant was rep- resented by Mr. F. P. Madigan of the Na- tional Capital brewery and Lawyer A. H. Bell. They were not ready to go to trial, and the case went over until next week. = Grsrhe ene DEAD AND DISCARDED. An Infant's Body Found in the Church of the Ascension Yard. The dead body of an infant was found yesterday afternoon in the yard of the Church of the Ascension, corner of Mas- sachusetts avenue and 12th street. Police- man Cochran took charge of the body and had it removed to the morgue. The Negro National Convention. James W. Poe, president of the National Republican Vigilant Association, is receiv- ing encouraging reports from different states relative to the coming negro national convention, which meets at Baltireore, Md., Wednesday, October 9. New York, through the Douglass League and bureau of sta- tistics, North Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina have spoken out for the convention and will be represented. Other states will be heard from soon. Presitient Poe will name a number of distinguished colored men, who he will request to deliver introductory addresses before the conyen- tion on some one of the subjects outlined in the call. The indications are that the convention will be very largely attended. President Poe will leave tomorrow for points in Virginia, where he is to speak, commencing at Bowling Green, Caroline county, Va., Monday, the 12th instant. ———— Her Personal Bonds Taken. Katherine Wallirg, alias Allen, the young woman who was arrested Thursday night because she attempted to get rid of the body of a still-born child of her sister, ap- peared in the Police Court this morning on a charge of having violated the section of the health ordinance which prohibits the carrying through the streets of a dead body without a permit. The case was brought into court on complaint of. the health office authorities, but there was no disposition to have her punished. The case was continued indefinitely on the girl's per- scnal bonds. —_——. The Police Beat Again in Service.

MAP OF THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 1895, 8 A.M. HOW TO READ IT Some Instructive Lessons on the Daily ;Weather Map. ISOTHERMS, IS0BARS AND SYMBOLS Easy to Understand When You Follow These Directions. WEATHER BUREAU WORK The policy of tie Department of Agri- culture is to place before the people of the United States as much useful scientific information as is possible. This knowl- edge really belongs to the peopie, inasmuch as they sustain the necessary expense of collecting the observations upon which the scientists make their investigations. When valuable results are acquired it is proper that the distribution of the same, in as simple language as is consistent with the subject, be made one of the primary duties of the service. The assistant secretary of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, Dr. Charles W. Dab- ney, jr., is especially in charge of this popular distribution of scientific knowl- eGge, and has enjoined upon all bureaus of the department the duty of co-operat- ing in this direction. There are few branches of the service from which a ready response can be more preperly expected than the weather bu- reau, that has, charge of the collection and dissemination »of ail proper information regarding the ever)changing weather con- ditions, so directly affecting the comfort and health of att the people. The chief of the weather bureau, Professor Willis L. Moore, has) accordingly directed the preparation of a series of articles for the press that will be suitable for the purpose thus indicated: t Plenséad With the Press. It should beisaidiin this connection that the officials of the bureau have been greatly pleased with the very important co-opera- tion that the press is giving to the bu- reau in the distribution of weather in- formation in this ard other communities. While it is possible for tne government to publish a comparatively small number of the daily weather maps on a large scale, nd to distribute these hy messenger or by mail, it ig nevertheless clear that re- liance will more be placed upen the daily press for this purpose. Since a practica! way has been found to make such clear, hardsome reproductions of the large map the necessity for the government map is somewhat modified, because the general points of the current weather conditions are displayed sufficiently well for all com- mon purposes on th smaller scale. Of course the advantage is all with the pa- pers in reaching larger numbers of people. Reports are constantly coming to the bureau of an increasing interest in the daily weather map on the part of many persons who have been aitracted by the press’ reproductions, and very often these are accompanied by the expression of the wish that they could.understand the mean- ing of the lines a little better. The pro- portion of readers who do perceive the way that the lines show the temperature and pressure of the air, as they change from map to map in their location, is already great, and yet it is thought that with a little ‘care and effort nearly every’one who can read may also comprehend the daily map, at least approximately. The Difficulty Soon Wears Of. It is like learning a new language, and at first costs some labor, but when once the symbols are understood there is a pleas- ure in reading the same that compensates for the intellectual work expended. This first article, “How to Read the Weather Map,” is therefore addressed to those who have not quite mastered the symbols and the lines on the map, and to those who have not yet attempted to look into it at all. If some one in each family will take the trouble to follow the directions that are given herewith it will not be long before every member of it can take an interest in this branch of the goyern- ment service. It is well known that the forecasters of the weather bureau often make mistakes in their efforts to interpret the probable changes in these lines for a day or two ebead, and that in consequence they are subject to criticism by the public for their failures. On comparing the criticisms on the work of the bureau from different por- tions of the country, it is seen that the people who best understand the difficult! of the art of forecasting are most just their criticisms, and that generally the press has been fair in its statements. This is no doubt in @ measure due to the advantage that the reporters of the press hav. their frequent visits to the central 2 local offices of the weather bureau, by which they are more in touch with the de- tails of the work itself. In the same way’ the more fam‘liar the people of any locality are with the way of making the forecasts the more considerate they are of failures to reach perfection. The weather bureau, therefore, wishes every one to know as much as’ possible about this subject, and only regrets the criticisms that arise from impatience an@, partial knowledge. Meteor- ology as a sctence'is in some respects still in its elemedtary stages of growth, and there is much to be discovered about the laws controlling the atmosphere. The won- der is that so'impérfect a science can have already contributed 0 much to the benefit and protection of our people. It is to be hoped that m&ps of artistic merit may _be- come regular features of the journalism of the large cities of the United tates. Interesting Scope of the Articles. The series of articles contemplated cludes besides the preliminary introd tion, cne for each month of the year, gi ing the meteorological normal conditions and also the’ prevailing features of the storm tracks characteristic of the month, besides such remarks as will direct atten- tion to the main types of weather to be expected during the month. A summary of the probable causes of the origin of storms may also be attempted in conclusion, The first thing to understand is how to draw in the lines- that appear on the map. The weather bureau receives about U2 observations, 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily, from different points in the country, taken all at the same moment of time for a given map. For the 8 a. map they are tele- graphed in and received at Washington he- tween 8:45 and 9:30 a.m. These are entered on charts, the forecaster reads the mean- ing, and the forecasts are out by 10:30 or 11 o'clock. On the map accompanying this article only twenty-two cf these places are laid down, so as to avoid crowding on the reduced scale. Esplanations Worth Considering. For illustrating the mode of drawing the lines, the Wasbirgtcn map of Thursday, August 1, 1895, § a.m., ig selected. Against -at Philadelphia have each of the twenty-two cities are written two figures, the upper giving the tempera- ture ard the lower the pressure of the air at 8 o'clock in the morning of August 1. Thus the temperature at Boston is Gt de- grees, and the pressure 2).82 inches: at New York, 60 degrees and 29.90 inches. As we go towards the west the time of the observation is earlier in the morning; tha‘ is, In the Mississippi valley the observer reads his instrument at 7 o'clock, local time; on the Rocky mountain siope, at 6 o’clcck, and on the Pacific coast, at 5 o'clock, so that all the observers may read at the same moment. Co-operation is, therefore, ihe peculiar feature of the opera- tiers of the service. On looking over the map the simplest question to ask is where do the same temperatures prevail, and where are the pressures just alike. It is evidently helpful to the eye to draw a line through the places where the same condi- tions exist, ard it is most convenient to select the even 10 degree differences, and the even tenth-inches differences for such connecting lines. That is, dotted lines are ¢rawn through all places havirg the tem- peratures 60 degrees, 70 degrees, SO degrees, and solid lines through the places having the pressures 29.9) inches, 30.00 inches, 30.10 inches, barometric pressure. Now, in order te do this, it becomes necessary to inter- polate the spaces. It is seen that the tem- perature at Galveston and New Orleans is 80 degrees, and a line can be drawn through these, but for Jacksonville the temperature is only 78 degrees and the 80- degree ‘ine must run a little south of it to allow for the drop from &) degrees to 78 degrees in going northward. For the 70- degree sine we proceed as follows: At El Paso the temperature is 68 degrees, and evidently the 70-degree line must lie be- tween El Paso and the 80-degree line at intervals cf 2 degrees on the El Paso s:de and 0 degrees on the Galveston side; near Little Rock, 4 degrees on one side and 10 degrees on the south side; near Lynchburg, G degrees on the north side and 10 degrees on the south side. The intervals 2 to 10, 4 to 10, 6 to 10, are the interpolations re- ferred to, and by a little practice can be very rapidly performed. In the case of the @#-cegree line we have the same process, and it runs through Los Angeles, between Portland and Helena, 8 to 2; between Bis- marck and St. Paul, 8 to 2; between St. Paul and Chicago, 2 to 6; norta of Wash- ington, through New York, and west of Boston. These dotted lines of equal tem- perature ar called isotherms. Instruct In a similar inanner we interpolate for the pressure lines. Thus the 30.10-inch line runs betwe-n El Paso, § to 6, through Dodge City, west of Omaha, between Bis- marck and St. Paul, 18 to 6, returns south- ward between Chicago and Washington, 4 te 8, between St. Louis and Lynchburg, 10 to 6, between Little Rock and Augusta, 2 to t, and betwecn New Orleans and Jack- sonville, 2 to 6. For the 30.00-inch line we start between Los Angeles and El Paso, 4 to 2, and pass between Salt Lake City and Denver, 4 to &, just east of Bismarck, fol- low the general curve of the 30.10-inch line and pass between Washington and New York, 2 to 10. Another 30.00-inch line passes through San Francisco, between Helena and Bismarck, 4 to 8. Another 30.10-irich line pass ween Portland and Helena, 6 to A 29.00-ireh line passes through New York city and a 29.S0-inch line just north of Boston. These lines should always be drawn so 2s to harmonize with each other, making a system of curves that grade into each other by -easy Such lines of equal pressure are ol ars. These details are here given in the hope that some will take the trouble to con- struct a little map for themselves by way of practice. Take some semi-transparent paper and trace the base lines of this map, the boundaries end the rivers, and locate on it the twenty-two cities here given. Copy agairst each city the figures for the temperature and the pressure, and then interpolate the dotied lines for temperature and the solid lines for pressure. The fig- ures in this map are copies from the synop- sis on the first and third columns, as print- ed on the right-hand side of cach large weather map issued by the weather bu- reau. If any one will copy the base map and these figures for a few Gays in succes- sion, and then plot in the isotherms and the isobars, and will thus watch the varia- ble positions on the maps from day to day of tne lines of the same rame, a clear idea of the fundamental features of the weath- er map will soon be secured. Symbols and Their Meaning. In addition to these lines, the symbols for wind and weather are used. For wind an arrow on the station circle pointing the way the wind blows, and for weather— clear, a fine line circle; clovdy, a heavy line circle; partly cloudy, a bar circle; rain, a solid circle; snow, a three-bar circle, A general rain area is shaded on the map. Near the center cf an area of high pres- sure above 30.00 inches is placed the word high, and near the center of a resion of pressure less- than 30.00 inches is placed the word low. A low pressure system Is called a storm or a cyclone, and the winds blow around the center in the opposite di- rection tothe hands of a watch, as one looks on the watch lying upon the map with the face up. The high pressure sys- tem is called an anti-cyclone, and the winds blow around its center in the general di- rection of the hands of a watch, though in a less distinct manner than in the cy- clone. The winds always blow down the gradient from the high to the low, from the anti-cyclone to the cyclone. These are the chief features on any weather map, so far as its construction goes. Those who wish to learn to under- Stand tho meaning of the same in regard to the resulting weather-conditions should construct them for themselves, till familiar with the details. Then they should care- fully compare the maps from day to day and observe the differences that have taken place in twenty-four hours, in forty-eight hours and in seventy-two hours. The easi- est way to do this is to cut out the press map every day and lay the successive maps in a column, over each other, so that the eye may take in at a glance the changes that have been going on. A short practice in this manner will enable one to. follow the storms as they pass from west to east. and will also soon give the ability to judge from the maps what the weather conditions are likely to be during the following twen- ty-Totic hou “In the next article the tracks of the storms characteristic of August and the average, as well as the abnormal, weather conditions noted in the past twenty years will be briefly summarized. a Marriage Licenses. A marriage license has been issued to Arthur W. Gawen of Westmoreland county, Va., and Lulie V. Fletcher of Prince Wil- I'm county, Va. — Weavers Refuse to Compromise. The striking ingrain carpet weavers issued their ul- timatum to the manufacturers, in which they refuse any compromise. They say the threat of the manufacturers to withdraw their promised advance, to take effect December 1 unless the weavers re- turn to their looms, shows that the manu- facturers will not make a promise and stick to it. The weavers state that the manufacturers have assumed the role of dictators by assuming that the weavers were wrong in not accepting their pro- posal for a compromise. WOMEN IN LINE An Unusual Number Join in the : Police Court Procession. SERIOUS AND VENIAL — SINNERS Cases Heard and Sentences An- nounced by the Wise Justice. POINTS IN THE PROCEEDINGS Palm-leaf fans were in great demand in Judge Scott's court this morning, where the procession was much longer than usual. “here was an unusually large number of females in the procession, some white and some colored. Six colored girls figured in a disorderly case from Dazenbrook’s alley, and they led the procession when Judge Scott arrived. There were two men charged in the case with them, and Policeman Har- rover was the arresting officer. So far as outward appearances were concerned, none of them had any cash, and the consequence was that none of them had counsel. Celia Mackall, Annie Hall, Lizzie Hall, Becky Johnson, Alberta Hunter, Marshall Brown and Charles Mack were the names given by the prisoners. “The house in which these people congre- gate is a very disorderly one,” said a wit- ness. “Three times this week the disorder- ly gatherings there have been very annoy- ing, and yesterday I made complaint to the Police.” “What's the nature of the disorder?” the court wanted to know. “Some of them are drunk, and the dis- order is so great that people who live near there can get no rest,” answered witness. The Title Did Not Save Them. One after another the women appeared ard made all sorts of statements to ex- plain their conduct. They insisted on calling the judge “Cap- tain,” and declared that they had not been disorder!. “Captaii said one of the girls, “as for me drinking any whisky, 1 jes wants to say that I don’t drink nothing.” “I was in bed sound asleep when the liceman came,” said Marshall Brown, “‘ I don't see how I could be disorderly. “Neither do I,” remarked the court, “and I cnly wish that more of you had been asleep at this time. You are discharged.” “And so far as I am concerned,” said Mack, “I was not there when the crowd was disorderly.” He was also discharged. The women were unable to make satis- factory explanations and were fined. Five colored mer figured in the next case, and their names were given as Wm. Jordan, Geo. Ruffin, Wilson Holland, John Johnsen and Ray West. “These men were all asleep in front of one of the worst dives in Washington,”- said a policeman. “They were sleeping on the park and sidewalk.” The officers said that Wilson Holland is a merchant and attempted to show that the cthers were not laboring people, but Lawyer Holland showed to the satisfaction of the court that most of them were em- ployed. “] was out in the country at camp meet- ing last night,” said Holland, “and when I came in I stopped on R street to talk to friends and fell asleep.” “It was a good night to sleep out,” re- marked the court. “I felt like sleeping in the open air myself.’ Bonds for Good Behavior. Mary Thompson and Mary Dubant, well- dressed women from the Division, were in the procession as vagrants. They have been drinking recently, and have been so boisterous that the officers arrested them for the purpore of restoring order. “I des.re to enter a plea of guilty for them," said Lawyer Eugene O'Neill, “and wall offer Mr. Henry E. S. Hilton as surety.”” They gave bond in the sum of $200, and were released. L.zze Green and Effie Livingston, two more girls of the same kind, appeared, and a Moss entered a plea of guilty for them. “I believe Judge Kimball has always held women of this kind to be vagrants,” said counsel, “and that is why I enter the plea.” Sse is the kind?” Judge Scott in- e quired. “Women of evil life.” They were required to give bond in the sum of $50 for their good behavior. Regret for a Good Law Repealed. When Sergeant Jordan made an arrest yesterday he concluded that he needed as- sistance, and called on a colored man named Bob Davis. Bob thought he would not take any chances of getting in a fight, and so he declined to assist the officer. “I arrested him because he refused to assist me,” the officer told Judge Scott, “but when I got to court I learned that there was no law to cover the case.” “What is the charge against him now?” the court asked. “Disorderly conduct,” the witness an- swered, “but I can’t say that he was dis- orderly.’ > “Case dismissed,” said the judge, who expressed regrets because the law had been repealed. Several Prisoners Sent Down. John Connors, an able-bodied man from Sovth Washington, was in the procession because of his intemperate habits. “I returned from Baltimore yesterday,” the man said. “What had you been doing there?” Judge Scott asked. “Working in the steel works on Sparrow Point.” “And got drunk yesterday?” “Yes, sir. I drank too much. “Don't you think you had better be sent where you can get no liquor?” The man made no response and was sent down for sixty days. Alice Brown, who ts better known as Blackburn, said guilty to a charge of dis- orderly conduct, and went down in de- fault of fine. Archie Brown, a little colored boy who played crap by candlelight in an alley, was also a member of the procession. “There were several boys in the game,” said Policeman McNamee, “but he was the only one I recognized.” A fine of $10 was imposed, and the boy went down. po- ‘and ——— THE JACKSON OBSEQUIES.

Samuel Douglas, the alleged embezzlar snd bigamist, was seen in cell No. 1 of the seventh precinct station today by a Star reporter. Yesterday he sought voluntary confinement, hearing that he was wanted. He gave himself up to an officer on the Street. Douglas was reticent at first, then glib to a certain point. The bigamy charge he laughed at hearti- ly, There is but one record of his mar- riage in the whole world, he said, and that’s in Baltimore. Miss Bussius, whose father was killed in the fall of the old Ford's Theater, is, he said, the only wo- man he ever carried before a minister. As to the story that he married her after two cr three days’ courtship, he says he can prove that he went to see her regularly for nearly two years. Miss Bussius, he says, did not speak to her stepmother, and in other ways they were on unfriendly re- lations. Consequently, any company of the stepdaughter was objectionable. The lat- ter was twenty-four years of age when she went over to Baltimore, and was married 1o Douglas. ‘What Became of the Money. The $350 she drew from the bank here was her share of the money raised for the families of the theater victims. Of this amount Douglas says his wife spent $240 in the purchase of clothes, etc., in Balti- more. She gave him the balance, he says, and he can lay his hands on it at any time. He says he did not desert his wife, but she was persuaded to ‘eave him. ingle ex- planation, he says, will reconcile her. » Douglas was formerly a post teacher at Fort Myer. He taught the primary branch- es there until his company—H—left for Fort Meade, South Dakota. Since then he has had a partnership in a lunch room at 3238 M street, and conductor of a car on the Eckington line. From February 22 to June 15 he says he was confined to the naval hospital in Washington with a thirty-eight caliber pis- tol wound in the hand, received in falling down the steps at the Washington navy yard, while employed there. The weapon was discharged through the The bullet went clear through the hand from the palm, eoming out at the base of the second finger. The bone was shattered, and it was necessary to supply artificial material and make a false joint. While he never married but one woman, Dcugias acknowledges having lived with another woman for a time. ‘The Charge of Forgery. As to the forgery charge, Douglas ac- knowledges that a certain check for $200 was given him, signed, as he says, with a fictitious mame. The check he indorsed over to the woman he refers to, with whom he had lived. Her name he withheld. The woman, he said. never attempted to get money on the check, and later it was de- stroyed. His wife's relatives, he says, are persecuting him, and he claims they have originated all the charges against him. Douglas is about twenty-five years of age, light complexiored, and smooth-faced. He is dressed well at present in a black cutaway coat. He says he has no fear of the outcome of a legal examination of his case. His wife up to this morning had not been to see him. ——__- JAPAN CONTENTION. It Came Very Near Causing a War With the United States. A discussion of the possibility of the United States becoming involved in the threatened trouble between Russia and Japan has disclosed the fact that just be- fore the termination of the war between China and Japan an issue had grown up be- tween the United States and Japan that threatened to lead to actual hostilities be- tween the two countries, and that a hostile clash was perhaps only averted by the conclusion of the war. This issue arose through the assertion by the Japanese authorities of the right of search of Amer- ican vessels. They insisted that they had the right to board an American vessel and, if they chose, to take from her any Chinese or any enemy they might find, even though they were but passengers. Minister Dun very promptly denied the existence of any such right on the part of a combatant, and a hot correspondence ensued. The Japanese insisted on their right, and even when Mr. Dun reminded them that the United States had gone to war with Great Britain on just this issue, and had forced the abandonment ~ of any claim to such a right, they refused to abate their pretensions one jot, though the minister intimated that the first asser- tion of such a right would be regarded b the United States as an unfriendly act, an: therefore, likely to lead to war. The mat- ter progressed to that perilous state that when Admiral Carpenter was about to cs- cort an American merchant steamship out of a Japanese port, to prevent her detention by the Japanese, the latter, it is said, gave orders to the shore batteries at the mouth of the harbor to fire upon the American vessels if they attempted to do so. This fact came out after the conclusion of the armistice, which, fortunately, occurred at just this point in the negotiations, thereby preventing an incident that would certainly have led to war; but the significant point is that since that time the Japanese have steadily clung to the same contention, promising serious trouble in the event of another war in the east. ——___-2-—__—_——_- Street Railway Disaster.
