Esper has always been invincible against the Clevelands. When he was with Wash- ington the Spiders couldn't touch him. It has been a cause of wonder that the Bal- timores didn’t play him at Cleveland. Only five hits were secured off him yesterday. Both teams played good ball, but the Orioles batted Cuppy often and won hy 5 to 0. The playing seems to indicate that the home team will make it three straight, and that the seventh game of the Teiple Cup serles will have to be playel. More than 10,000 people saw the battle, and the en- thusiasm was unbounded, so much so, in fact, that some of the rougher element for- got themselves and offered some inlignities to the visitors. Paper balls, peanuts, one or two eggs and finally a rock were thrown at them as they left their hotel for the grounds, and after reaching there they were hissed by a small part of the crowd, but this was frowned upon by the majority and there were no further attempts at in- sult during the game. ‘The run-getting began in the second, when Brodie got home on Carey's rattling two- firet bagger to center, after having reache on a force hit and second on Gleas rifice. Two more were made in the third, McGraw and Keeler coming home on a bunt by McGraw, another by Keeler, a single by Jennings, a hit by Esper and‘a long fly by Brodie. This performance ‘Juplicated in the seventh, Keeler soing to first on balls after two men were ont. to third on Jen- nings’ single and home on Kelly's single to left, which also brongnt Jennings acrces the plate. The visitors, as a rule, it out in one, two, three order, aad at no time did they seem dangerous. The sc BALTIMORE. | CLEY ELAND.

ER DERS THE HAIt aud A GOOD SHOWING Annual Meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association. © EXCELLENT WORK IN MANY FIELDS | ’ Chairman Woodward's Report on the Society's Financial Condition. NEW OFFICERS ELECTED ee The annual meeting of the Y. M. C. A. for the transaction of business and the election of officers was held last evening at the present quarters of the association, in the Lenman building. The reports showed that the association is in a satisfactory condi- tion, notwithstanding the loss it incurred in the burning of its butlding during the summer. All the talk was of the most hopeful character, and constant reference was made to the urgent need of a new and larger building.. The belief was expressed by several of the members that such a home would be secured in the near future through the appreciation and generosity of the people of Washington, and that in such an event the burning of the old building on New York avenue would prove to be a blessing in disguise. The president of the association, Mr. L. Cabell Williamson, occupied the chair at the meeting, and Mr. J. H. Lichliter, the recording secretary, was also present. The principal business of the evening was the reading of the report of the financial com- mittee and the election of officers. The latter resulted in only one change in the list of officers. Judge Anson S. Taylor was elected to succeed Mr. F. W. Vaughn, who ‘was one of the oldest members of the board of directors, but was compelled to decline re-election on account of ill health. The | meeting passed a resolution expressing the association’s gratitude to Mr. Vaughn for his long and devoted service. A similar resolution was adopted in the case of the general secretary, Mr. James E. Pugh, who is seriously ill from an attack of typhoid fever. Report of Religious Work. The meeting was opened with a religious service, after which a long list of appli- cants for membership was favorably pass- ed upon. J. S. Barker, chairman of the committee on religious work, reported for that committee, showing that notwith- standing the destruction of the building, there had been tut the most trivial inte1 ruption in the services. The religious work of the essociation, which is, of course, the most important work, has been done in a thorough and systematic manner, and it is reasonable to believe, has accomplished a great deal of good. During the year past an average of 200 young men have been reached a week through the agency of the religious services. The committee express- ed its gratitude to the officers and members of the Foundry W@W. E. Church, which was placed at thelr disposal for its Sunday af- ternoon services and on other occasions. Yet the falling off in attendance, which had if been noticed at these meetings, proved con- clusively the need of a new building, for it is evident that young men are more ready to attend in a building that is solely for the use of the Y. M. C. A. In the Educational Field. Ckafman W. C. Henry of the committee on education said that the association has every reason to be proud of the work it has accomplished in this field. When the year book is published it will show that the Waskingtor asscciaticn is in the front rank as an educaticnal institution. During the year 355 individual members of the as- sociation have taken advantage of the op- portunities placed at their disposal, and from this it 1s easy to see how much has been dove in the way of preparing the young men of Washirgton for a successful carcer im life. Reference was made at the recent convention of Y. M. C. A.'s at Spring- fielé ard the educational exhibit held on that occasion. There were sixty-six ex- hibits In forty-four different studies, and the Washington association carried off four first awards, a very creditable reccrd, whea one considers the equipment that was avail- able in the old building. Great credit was due to Secretary Pugh for his efforts and untiring labors in the Interests of the edu- caticnal branch. Religious work has gone band in hand with the educational work, and teachers and students al‘ke have kept uppermost in mind the fact that the asso- ciation is, first of all, a Christian asso- ciation. Some Financial Statements. Mr. Wcodruff, chairman cf the committee on rocms, reported what had been done in the way of securing rooms and fitting them up after the big fire. The sum of $1,: 3 had been spent on the rooms, and besides this generous donations had been received from _a number of friends, which had heen found cf great service in making their tempcrary quarters homelike. Mr. Swart- wout spoke of the gospel work that has been done at the jail by members of the association during the year, and Mr. W. B. Matthews spoke of the White Cross Army, its perposes and growth. Mr. J. C. Pratt, the treasurer of the as- scciation, presented a brief resume of his arnual report, which was embodied in gieater detaii in the report of the commit- tee on finance. Yesterday Mr. John Joy Edson was asked to make a thorough ex- amination of the books of the association te see if he could make any suggestions for improvement. A letter was read from him last evening, in which he said that he had gone over the books carefully, and had found them correct and the system busi- ness-like. In concluding his letter Mr. Ed- son said: “I am convinced, from what I have learn- ed, that the Young Men’s Christian Asse- ciation is accomplishing a vast amount of good at a minimum expense, and feel sure that any work which the association may undertake in the future, if conducted in the same thorough, practical manner, cannot but be productive of still greater good to the mental and moral welfare of the young men of Washington.” The utmost interest attached to the re- port cf the committee on finance, as show- ing just what the condition of the associa- tion is now, several months after the fire. The report was read by the chairman of the committee, Mr. S. W. Woodward, who has devoted a great deal of time and labor to the association, and has used his bus- iness skill and ability again and again to further its interests. Chairman Woodward's Report. The report in full was as follows: The finance committee would like to give the association a clear understanding of the financial condition of the association. Per- haps the best point at which to begin will be the spring of 1893, when the Washington Post made a splendid attempt to raise our indebtedness, amounting to $10,000. Deficiency of current expenses accumu- lating from two or three years, in round numbers, $6,000. Amount owing on the ground and building, being a part of the original $4,000 purchase price of the build- ing, making our total indebtedness at that time $10,000. During the summer, however, certain re- pairs were found necessary to be made for the occupancy of the building, amounting to $1,278. So that the real deficiency at the end of the fiscal year, September 30, was $11,278. ‘The total amount subscribed through the Washington Post was $7,225. Of this amount there remains unpaid $1,975, so that the association has only had the bene- fit thus far of $5,250. 1803-'94--Receipts, Including payments on Post subscriptions, $12,609; disbursements, $12,347. 1894-'95—Receipts, including payments on Post subscription, special subscription from churehes of the city, which on Sunday, No- vember 11, 1804, took up a collection for us amounting to $1, and $1,000 insur- ance on furniture, $13,216; disbursements, $13,568. The present financial condition of the association is as follows: Lot cf ground on New York avenue, 56x 134 feet, valued at $15 per foot, amounting to about $115,000; insurance on building, say $11,000. Total, $123,000. Liabilities—Part of original purchase, note, $4,000; deficiency in current expenses 629; borrowed y due Columbia Na- tional Bank, §2,17 Present ciation toward new building. It may properly be asked how did the association come to be so heavily in debt at that time. In order that the public may know what are the legitimate receipts and expenses of a Y. M. C. Association, we ap- pend, in detail, the financial statement cf the year 1894-95: Receipts, 1894-’95. Membership, $4,950.50; contributions, jubi- lee fund, $1,187.54; contributions, Post fund, 68; contributions, current expenses, Corcoran Fire Insurance on fur- niture in old buildi: rent, $188. oe Association Monthly, $592.75; loan, $1,250 miscellaneous, $137.47. Total, $13,216.74. Disbursements, 1894-'95. Salary to officers, $4,210; salary to jani- tors, $630; salary to ed. teachers, $579.96; postage, $546.93; printing account (general), $815.96; printing monthly, $640.58; repairs, 662.22; telephone, $100; park rent, $115; Bus, $474.38; taxes, $75; rent of rooms, $100; electric lighting, $64.91; hymn books, $54; experses week of prayer, $114; state work, $50; electric light, 45; notes, $2,805; interest, $285.51; coal,§232.55; miscellaneous, $1,041.64. Total, $13,568.09. From this it will be seen that the young men of the association pay about 60 per cent of the expenses of the association. Of the other 40 per cent of expenses about 10 to 20 per cent is contributed by observing, and broadminded citizens whose names are recorded on the books of the association; citizens who in some way become familiar with some good work of the association and know that it fills a need in the com- munity which no other organization can fill, ond wish to recognize this in a sub- stantial and appreciative manner. For in- stance, the late Justice Strong never failed to come into the association each year, and, after saying a good word, leave sometimes $50, but usually $100, toward our annual ex- penses. Our secretary, Mr. Pugh, could spend hours in telling of similar instances. The yearly deficiency of the association, sometimes 20 or 25 per cent, and rarely ever as low as 10 per cent, must therefore he carried along as a floating indebtedness, when it cannot otherwise be taken care of. It is a fact that association statistics show that in very few, if any, associations are the receipts from the membership so large @ percentage of the expense of running the association as in the Y. M. C. A. of the District of Cclumbia. In view of this, the finance committee feel that they are en- titled to go to the public-spirited citizens of the District of Columb’a and ask for $200,- 000 for a new building, and the building committee are now considering plans to Present to the association and the citizens at the earliest possible moment. Officers Elected. At the conclusion of Mr. Woodward's re- Port, officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, L. C. William- son; first vice president, 8S. W. Woodward; second vice president, John B. Larner; treasurer, J. C. Pratt, and recording secre- tary, J. H. Lichliter. The directors chosen, whose terms expire in October, 1898,were H. W. Olmstead, B. H. Warner, W. B. Gurley and Judge Anson S. Taylor. The meeting then adjourned with prayer. — +. HEBREW CHARITIES. Fourth Anniversary Celebration and Election of Officers. = The fourth anniversary of the United He- brew Charities Society was celebrated last night by a meeting at the Eighth Street Synagogue. President I. L. Blout read his annual report, which showed that 800 per- sons had applied for aid during the year, of whom 429 had been relieved. The funds re- ceived aggregated $3,138.77. Mr. Blout call- ed attention to the fact that the number of appl'cants had decreased, notwithstanding the very hard times, and expressed the be- lef that the work of the soclety was re- sulting in a permanent decrease of the need for charity, owing to the work of the organization in placihg applicants for alms on a basis of self-help. He thanked the members of the Ladies’ Sewing Society, who last winter, under the direction of Miss Bertha Baar, rendered valuable aid. The sum of $550 was received from the District relief committee, and donations came from the Rekecea and Deborah circles and the Lad‘es’ Embroidery Circle. ‘Treasurer A. D. Prince presented his re- port, and showed that the society nad a comfortable balance in bank, which would serve as a nucleus for the necessary relief fund. All the officers were renamed for another term. President Blout and Vice President Strasburger were inclined to withdraw, but Mr. Simon Wolf made an earnest protest against their leaving office. The election, therefore, resulted as follows: President, I. L. Blout; vice president, Henry Stras burger; secretary, A. Behrend; treasurer, A. D. Prince. Board of directors; Mesdames I. L. Blout, L. Stern, Charles Kaufman, L. Felheimer, D. Strauss, A. J. Strausburger, Fannie Moser, Messrs. I. L. Blout, H. Straugbur- ger, S. Lewis, A. Behrend, A. D. Prince, Isaac Sahns. Ht King.

James Tanner, commander-in-chief of the Union Veteran Legion, on the grand reunds visited Encampment No. 111 on Capitol Hill last Friday night. He was re- ceived with grand honors and welcomed in a speech by the commander of No. 111, re- sponding with a stirring speech for the good of the order, and in his most eloquent yein paid high tribute to the old veterans generally. He spoke feelingly and reverent- iy in memory of his old-time friend, Gen. Green Clay Smith, the first commander of No. 111, whose portrait, life-sized, the en- campment had just hung upon its walls. A delegation from Encampment No. 69 ac- companiéd the commander. General speech making and story telling was indulged in by many of both encampments. A smoker was a feature of the evening. Delegates were elected to attend the next annual na- tional encampment to be held in Buffalo, N. Y., September 16, 17 and 18. The delegates from Washington carry with them an invi- tation from the Commissioners for the or- ganization to hold its next national en- campment in this city next year. —_-— Union Soldiers’ Alliance. At the regular Quarterly meeting of the Union Soldiers’ Alliance, held in the par- Icrs of the National Hotel, the attendance was quite large, over fifty members being present when the president, Dr. Frank T. Howe, calied the meeting to order. Capt. A, Hart reported an amended constitution, which, after considerable discussion, was adopted without amendment. Officers for the year 1896 were elected as follows: Pres- ident, John 8S. Stodder; vice presidents, Andrew J. Huntoon; John J. Harrower and George E. Corson; secretary, John L. Hen- pel; assistant secretary, John R. Collette; treasurer, Samuel C. Lovejoy, and proctor, Edgar H. Kleneroth. After the business session was concluded, the members ro- paired to the dining room, where a supper was served, and where brief but pleasant speeches were made by the newly elected officers, MeSsrs. Donath, Lincoln and others, Ss Overcome by Gas. Mr. Gardner G. Griswold of 1408 Bacon street, Columbia Heights, was yesterday found in bed unconscious at his residence from the effects of escaping illuminating gas, and is yet in a very precarious condi- tion. Mr. Griswold is eighty-one years of age, and he retired about 8 o'clock Sunday evening. He slept in a room in which the gas is lighted and extinguished by an elec- trie arrangement, and, although he had been warned not to use it, it is thought that the old man forgot the injunction, and, in attempting to extinguish the gas, turned a on again. He was discovered about 7 yesterday morning, and last evening t 4 physicians had not been able to restore him to consciousness. IS LIFE WORTH LIVING?
