SEPTEMBER SHOOTING The Sport on the Marshes Will Begin Next Monday. Ortolan and Reed Birds Promise to Be Plentiful and the Conditions for Their Slaughter Are Propitious. Every hunter about Washington knows that tomorrow will be the first day of Sep- tember, and the laws of Maryland and Vir- ginia give them the right to shoot recd birds and crtolan. But tomorrow being Sunday, and shooting on that day being prohibited, the hunters will have to wait until Monday morning before commencing the slaughter of the innocents. From all information the season promises to be the very best that has been seen about here for years. There is a good crop of wild oats and plenty of birds. For near- ly a month now the birds have been com- ing in, and the merry “Tweet, tweet, tweet” of the dainty little fellows has filled the night air. They always arrive in the night and select a good marsh to settle in. Here they would remain until the food supply gave out if the hunters did not dis- turb them. But the hunters are after the: as soon as the season opens, and after that they are kept on the move until the first frost comes. That ends the season, for the reed birds Mke miki climates, and when Jack Frost puts an end to his visit in these parts he takes up his long journey to the south, where he plays havoc with the tice fields. Queer Characteristics of the Reed Bird. The reed bird is a perfect harlequin. Be- fore he gets through with his family cares he is metamorphosed. As a proud father or devoted lover he wears a gaudy plumage and is known as the bobolink. His plum- age is showy and he is a most attractive bird. The upper part of his body ts black, skirted with brownish yellow. Back of his head the feathers are cream color, while his back is seamed with brownish yellow. The large part of his wing, identical with the scapular of man, is pure white, while bis back and top tail feathers are similarly marked. After the breeding season he dis- guises himself and takes on the same plumage as the female. The coat then is yellowish brown above, brownish yellow below; upper parts and sides below streak- ed with black, wings and tail dusky with pale edges of the feathers. When thus at- ‘sired he cannot be distinguished from the female. Early in May in the northern states the merry chorus of the bobolink is heard, and he is no mean musician. When he changes his cicthes, however, his song is hushed, and he contents himself with a simple, plaintive whistle, clink-link-a-link, clink-link-a-link. When the reed bird ar- rives in the marshes he becomes a glutton, and all day (when given a chance) he cats. He never gets enough, and before many days the rick food of the wild oats puts him in a very fat condition. So fat do they get that it fs not infrequent to have them burst open when falling to -the ground. How to Get Reedies. The marshes about this city furnish ex- cellent sport for the hunters, and the reg- ular army will be on hand Monday. The best way to hunt reed birds is by wading. Provide yourself with an old suit of clothes and tie your trousers tightly about the ankles. Wear an easy pair of shoes, pref- erably tennis slippers. In your coat pocket carry a couple of raw tomatoes, to quench your thirst (there is nothing better), and a few sticks of sweetened chocolates, to satisfy your hunger. Your gun should be twelve gauge and light. It Is better to use smokeless powder, and load your shells with about three drachms of it and an ounce of number ten shot. If you have a dog, sc much the better, for it won't take many shots to convince you that it is a difficult matter to find a dead reed bird. Practice, however, is a good teacher, and before you have been in the marsh very many times you learn how to “mark” a dead one. Pointers About Ortolun. A story about reed birds, however brief, would not be complete without a word concerning the sora, or ortolan. They be- long properly to that family of birds known as “waders.” They arrive about the time of the reed bird and take up their temporary abode in the marshes, lingering a short time after the reed birds leave. They are slow to get away, and prove an easy mark for the hunter. But once you get them up and fail to kill them it’s a difficult matter, indeed, to induce them to rise again. When closely pressed by a dcg, they will quietly sink out of sight in the water, and poking their bill above the surface, breathe at leisure and throw con- sternatior in the mind of the hunter. They are hard to pick, but when fat are excel- lent eating. ——.—_- Part-of His Duty. From the Chicago Record.

Cooler Sunday Evening and Much Covler Monday Morning. A ridge of high pressure extends from Manitoba to Florida and thence to New- foundland, a pressure of 30.38 inches and a temperature of 32 degrecs being reported from Bismarck, the lowest ever observed at this season of the year at that station. An area of low pressure is central in On- tarlo. Rain has fallen in the lower Missouri valley, the lake regions and on the middle and south Atlantic coasts. The temperature has risen In the lower lake regior and has fallen markedly in the northwest. Fair weather may be expected in all dis- tricts east of the Mississippi river for thir- ty-six hours and in the Atlantic states for forty-eight hours.

Government Officials Have Been on Their Track for Some Time—De- tails of the Capture. Twenty men were brought to Wilmington, Del., yesterday from Penn’s Grove, N. J., and lodged in jail, charged with violating the neutrality laws in having organized a hostile expedition to Cuba. They are still in custody of the United States authorities. It has been suspected for several months that a Cuban filibustering party was at work in Wilmington. Last night it was learned that they had headquarters at 717 Market street, and that at least one, if not more, expeditions to Cuba have been dis- patched from Wilmington. Monday the United States authorities were notified that another expedition was about to take its departure. United States Deputy Marshal H. E. Lan- nen and several assistants, together with the police authorities, have been keeping a close watch ever since. They noticed a number of suspicious characters loitering about the cigar store in the neighborhood of the headquarters of the junta, and dis- covered that one of these had gone to the office of th@Charles Warner Company and chartered the tug Taurus to carry freight to Penn’s Grove. They shadowed the tug until she left her wharf at midnight Thurs- day ‘night. It was known beforehand by the authorities that the alleged filibuster- ing party was to wait at Penn’s Grove for ;@ steamer to come from Philadelphia to take them to Cuba. The name of this steamer is not known, but it was learned that she was not expected to arrive at Penn's Grove until midnight last night. The pursuing party, therefore, permitted the men they were watching to load their freight and embark their passengers with- out molestation, and saw them sail in the direction of Penn's Grove, whither some of the detectives had been sent to await de- velopments. Following the Filibusters. .At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Marshal Lapnen, with several assistants, Detective Gaylord and two of his associates and a squad of police, under Captain Kane, bearded the tug Media and sailed to Penn's Grove. There they found the party who had chartered the Taurus lounging about the railroad station and put them under arrest. When they overhauled the freight in the hull of the Taurus they found that it con- sisted of twenty-seven cases of arms, a lare quantity of ammunition, provisions, clothing, etc. All of this was seized and the party returned to Wilmington. An expedition very simflar to the one which came to grief yesterday put to sea about three weeks ago, and it is under- stcod that its members were safely landed in Cuba. The names of the men arrested charged with being fillbusters are: Pedro Belacour, Edward Sauri, Guardo Laudo, Manuel Loyalo, Antonio Ruiz, Ed- ward Yero, Frederico Montalvo, Jose R. Gomez, Frank Coullo, Justo Caveno, Pablo Esteben, Gerado M. Domene, Frank Na- vedo, Martmo Marien, Vincente Caullo, Pablo Menocal, Ysmael Cejos, Romone Perasa, Braulin Peno, Casone Toronto. They are all from Philadelphia and New York, and were arrested under orders is- sued by the Treasury Department. Another Expedition Lands. Information has been received at the headquarters of the Cuban Junta, in New York, that another expedition had landed on Cuban soil, Details as received by Tomaso Estrado Palma were that seventy-one men, under the leadership of Francisco Sanchez Hech- avacria, brother of Don Urbano Sanchez Hechavarria, had landed on the east coast of Cuba, armed with guns, ammunition and supplies It is said that the expedition started out- side the jurisdiction of the United States, and that some of its members have figured in former uprisings. Arms for Cuba Seized. The Treasury Department has received a telegram from Collector of Customs Cottrell at Cedar Keys, Fla., saying that at the instigation of the Spanish consul at Tampa, he had seized, at a point twenty miles from Cedar Keys, 159 Remington rifles, a quantity of cartridges and eleven kegs of powder, which were to have been shipped to Cuba, GREER GAVE IT AWAY He Reported His Sunday Discoveries at Frank Hall's Saloon. The Case Did Not Get a Trial, but the Policeman Will—Anti-Snloon League Interested. If Policeman George W. Greer had been inactive and inattentive to duty when he was transferred to the fourth precinct, he would now, in all probability, be enjoying the respect and good will of the saloon keepers, but because of his activity he is to be hauled up before the police trial board and called upon to explain his conduct. The charge against him was preferred by Lieut. Vernon, his superior officer, Foliceman Greer is charged with being guilty of the serious offense of telling a newspaper reporter a piece of legitimate news about a liquor case that had made its way as far as the office of Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting attorney, but which did not get into court. Frank Hall's saloon in South Washington is the place where the law is alleged to have been violated. The officer claims that he went there Sunday and went through the back way to a place where Sunday business is conducted, and there made a purchase of strong drink, and saw others do the same. The case did not reach court, but the publication of the circumstances seems to have offended some- body, and so the policeman {s to be tried by the trial board. Members of the Anti-Saloon League are deeply interested in the matter, and will probably ask to be represented at the of- ficer’s trial, as they think the charge against Hall should have been tried as oth- ers are, ——— CAMP MEETING OVER. Closing Services at Washington Grove Yesterday. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 30, 1895. A sunrise prayer meeting and testimony service, led by Dr. Wilson, the presiding elder, was a fitting preparation for the sacramental service, held at the Tabernacle at 11 o’clock, which impressive and im- posing service concluded the twenty-third annual camp theeting here, Dr. Stitt, the rastor of Dumbarton Church, West Wash- ington, arrived by the morning train, and wes made much of by the Dumbarton colony, which is the representative charge in camp. Dr. Stitt presided at the Lord's supper, when 350 communicants partook. At high noon the doxology was sung and the tabernacle bell tolled out the last fare- well note, and the good-byes began. Every train has carried away its portion, and the rest will leave today. Dr. Luther Wilson and family took the early afternoon train en route for Ocean Grove, for a much-needed rest. The departures froma the Hotel Albany today were: Mrs. Harry Johnston, child and nurse; Mr. W. H. Leamon and wife, Mrs. Mollie Cissel, Mrs. H. A. Gross. Mr. S. E. F.

From the Springfeld Union, The bicycle is a great help tn foreign mis- sionary work. A missionary in Japan writes of an interesting and profitable tour which he has taken among the country villages where the Gospel has never been preached. The wheel attracts crowds of sightseers and the missionary takes ad- vantage of their curiosity to preach Chris- tian truth to them. With his wheel he is ie to cover a large territory in a short ime. CHARGE DISCRIMINATION South Washington Colored Citizens Want a School Trustee. MemorinI Drawn Up by the Protective Atsociation—Other Business Transacted Last Night. There was held in the Rehoboth Baptist Ckurch-of South Washington last night a largely attended meeting of the Protective and Relief Association of South Washing- ten, which was recently organized among the colored citizens of that localtty. Last night's meeting was presided over by the Rey. H. C. Robinson of the First Baptist Church of South Washington, and S. EL Jones recorded the proceedings. The com- mittee on permanent organization, includ- ing Messrs. Joseph Manning, W. D. Jarvis, John Barnes, J. C. Gunnell, J. H. Smiler and R. A. Gantlin, submitted its report and recommended the following as the perma- nent officers of the association: Rev. H. C. Robinson, president; S. E. Jones, secre- tery; E. Murray, treasurer, and Rev. J. L. Richardson, chaplain. The committee which was appointed to prepare a constitution and by-laws for the government of the as- sociation was not prepared to submit its report, and its work went over until the meeting of next Thursday evening, to be held in the Providence Baptist Church. Public Needs. The associaticn discussed the necessity of applying to the proper authorities to have James Creek canal arched over, as in its present condition it Was a danger to life, as several people had lost their lives in the canal. The question of having electric lights in the streets which are dark was also discussed. Addresses were made by J. W. Pce, Joseph Manning, J. H. Smiler and others upon the work to be accomplished by the association, saying that it could bring much relief to the people of that vicinity. The question of having a colored school trustee from that section on the trustee beard of the public schools was discussed at quite a length, and it was determined that a memorial should be presented to the Commissioners relating the grievances of the people in that locality and praying for the appointment of a South Washington colored man. Rev. J. T. Clark, Joseph Man- ning, J. H. Smiler, E. Murray and S. E. Zones were appointed as a committee to wait on the Commissioners and present to them the following memorial and petition: Discrimination Charged. “We, the undersigned, with proper re- spect, have the honor to call your official attention to certain unfavorable condi- tions which characterize our public school system in the District of Columbia, and especially in South Washington; and do hereby most respectfully petition your speedy and favorable consideration of the following, to wit: First, your honors will observe that in the southwest section of cur city the colored population, according to the official census, is in round numbers 14,000, against about 71,000 covering the en- tire population of all the other sections combined, and looking over this dense pop- ulation you will further observe that we represent about 2) per cent of the entire colored population of the District of Co- lumbia. In this locality, South Washing- ton, we haye about sixteen teachers on the corps of teachers, out of the 300 or more of the entire corps, which is less than 6 per cent. Now, your honors can see from these figures that some unfavorable condi- tions prevail somewhere. We have not in- vestigated to discover the point of difficulty lest we should give public notoriety to a matter that can be best remedied by you. We are frank to state to you that our boys and gitls have become so discouraged by reason of the fact that the teachers’ posi- tions are awarded in other sections of the city, gntil it is almost impossible to have them continue school farther than their seventh or eighth grade, fecling as they do that they are discriminated against cn some grounds unknown. Nepotism Alleged. “We further state that we have in our section graduates from the normal schools who have received their diplomas six and seven years ago and who have not been given schools, on what we term very flimsy excuses. It seems strange and singular to our minds, as we hope it does to yours, that out of these sixteen teachers located in our section three of them are sisters. From observation we find that out of about twenty-four families there are sixty- odd teachers and school officials, whose names and residences can be furnished you if so desired. This we believe to be In some respects positive nepotism, and which ought not tc exist. There are numerous other citatiohs disclosing undesirable con- dition of which we might speak if we were thus*inclined, but our mission is to secure redress for the grievances and Wrongs which we have sustained in South Washington, for we are positively aware that we have been discriminated against by our local school officials without your honors’ ccnsent or knowledge. It will be further observed that of the six schools presided over by our local trustee, Mr. Cornish, four of them are located imme- diately in South Washington, while the other two are barely outside the limits of the same section, and it is apparent that the white schools of South Washington are presided over by one Dr. Hazen, who resides immediately in the same section. It is further apparent three of the four colored trustees reside in Northwest Wash- ington, namely, Messrs. Shadd, Bruce and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Ask Representation. “Your honors can see the justice of our petition in the fact that the parents and guardians of our section have no resident trustee to whom they can appeal for coun- sel or advice, while in the northwest sec- tion there are, as named above, three trus- tees. We think it nothing more than jus- tiflable that one of these trusteeships now held by the trustees, namely, Messr: Shadd, Bruce, Cornish and Mrs. Mai Church Terrell, should be transferred to some one residing immediately in our sec- tlon. We now present to you, without any intention to forestall your honors’ judg- ment in the selection of one to represent the division in question, the name of Rev. H. O. Robinson, who we believe will give perfect satisfaction to the people in our section and who will also fill the position of school trustee with effective credit and ability, having the time to visit the schools and give appropriate attention thereto.” The committee will call upon the Com- missioners and present to them todays the memorial. ——————— A Lively Game Likely. The Nationals, the crack amateur team of East Washington, and Capt. Iaeger’s Pension Office nine will cross bats this af- ternoon at Capitol Park. A close and in- teresting game is looked for. The Nation- als have a record of sixteeri games won and two lost, while the “Lochranites” have about the same record. * Managers laeger and Hopkins have taken great pains to’ make this the most inter- esting of any amateur game played this season. The battery for the “Pensionérs” will be Raub and Wright, with Brown and an unknown in reserve. Wolf and Lusky will be in the points for the champions from East Washington, with Rockwell, re- cently of the Orange, N. J., Athletics, at seconc base. The grounds at Capitol Park are in excellent condition. Ladies are ad- mitted free. ———— Weil Powderea. Fron the Erle Messenger.
