MISSION WORK IN MANY CITIES History of t'e Margaret Strachan Home in New York. PERSONAL EXPERIENCES At the opening of the second day’s ses- sion of the Christian workers’ convention at Foundry Church this morning there was an attendance even larger than yes- terday morning. But it was at the meet- ing last evening that the greatest interest and enthusiasm were shown. The big church was crowded to its utmost capac- ity and the audience was warmed to a high pitch of religious fervor by the re- ports of rescue work, as well as by the music of the Silver Lake Quartet, which was of a highly emotional character. Mr. George W. Havell, a director of the Central Union Mission, conducted the song and praise service, which began the ex- ercises of the evening. Rev. S. H. Greene, D. D., pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church, delivered an address on the sub- ject of the churches of Washington. The colored churches of the city and the work they are doing were described by_ Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D.D. “Work for Fallen Women—the Door of Hope,” was the sub- ject of an interesting talk’ by Mrs. E. M. Whittemore of New York, who devotes her labors to rescue work in connection with this mission, which is located in East Gist street, New York city. The devotional s: e this morning was conducted by "Mr. Hugh Jones of the Ralph Mead, jr., Memorial Rescue Mission Home, New York, who is to speak tomorrow morning on the purposes and methods of that particular mission. The balance of the morning was given up to fifteen-minute addresses by representatives of missions that are being conducted in various parts of the country. Mr. Raws Tells of His Work. “The Whosoever Gospel Mission and Res- cue Home of Philadelphia” was described by Mr. Wm. Raws. Next to the rescue work for fallen women, said Mr. Raws, comes industrial work for men, the work that is done at this particular mission, of which he {s the superintendent. “When I took my first drink,” said Mr. Raws, “I owned fourteen houses and a good bank account. After ten years of a drunkard’s life I walked into Germantown with but three cents in my pocket.” Soon after he was reformed he and his wife opened this mission home in the very tavern where he had spent so much of his drunken life. Later they took the balance of the building for the same good uses; a speak-easy, a pool room and four club rooms were all turned into the mission. From that it has grown, until in less than three years over $30,000 have been used in the work.. Of this, $15,000 has been con- tributed by the men themselves, either in the form of cash or of labor. The men are washed and fed, but they must work in some way in return. The gospel is preach- ed to them; they are taught to give up their intemperate habits and to become self-respecting end self-supporting men. Free Sunday Breakfasts. Mr. W. C. Blackburn described in a bright and interesting manner the work of the Free Sunday Breakfast Association of that city. The object of the association is to raise nen through the influence of the gos- pel. “The nearest way to a man’s heart is hrough Fis stomach,” said Mr. Blackburn. ‘So we fill them up and preach the gospel to them straight. The Bible says the go: pel will cut like a two-edged sword. W give it to them bare and strong. .We don’t wrap it up in a napkin the way they do at some churches, so you cén't tell whether it is a sword or not. During the five years we have been open we have fed 160,000 men. Of these, 25,000 asked for prayers. Whether they were all in earnest I don’t know. All we do is to pray for them if they ask for ft. There have been 4,000 who professed Christianity. I don’t know whether they all held out. That’s not my air. I do the best I can “Before I began this work I guess I was about the crummiest bum in Baltimore. I was about as likely to have my hand in an- other man’s pocket as in my own; there was usually more in the other fellow’s pocket. I remember one time I woke up after a jag, and found a beer mug and some spoons in my pocket. “Bill,” said a crony of mine, ‘you've been stealing again.’ “I took those things back to the saloon where I had lifted them, and said to the saloon keeper: “‘Here, take these things back. Your whisky is of a sort that will make a man steal anything.” “But, thank God, brethren, I am a saved man now, and I am doing the hest I can for the glory of His name. I don’t get any salary. I don’t get anything, but I manage to get along all right. My family consists of my aged mother, myself and my two cats, and even the cats are taught to pray in that mission. “Brethren, I'll show you how the Lord takes care of His own. When I first pulled out of the gutter a friend fitted me out with @ suit of clothes. They weren’t quite as fine as thess I have on now. ‘Bill,’ said a man to me one da: ou get that coat?’ ‘I got that from the Lord,’ I said. “Well, he didn’t get your fit very well, did he? “But, brethren, it’s all right now. He's got my fit today, for there’s a tailor over in Baltimore who will give me a suit of clothes any time I need one. Mr. Blackburn’s style of talking wes somewhat out of the ordinary run, but just the same he gave the audience a’ very clear {dea of the methods of the Baltimore mission. He said he did not place much reliance on his looks or his education, for he didn’t have either, and unless the Holy Ghost was back of his talk his words would fall flat. Mr. Bean's Work in Philadelphia. Following this, Mr. Lewis V. Bean de- seribed the work of the Sunday Breakfast Association of Philadelphia. Its purpo: are much the same as those of the Ba! rmcre mission, but it is the oldest organiza- tion of the sort in the country. Mr. Bean sald there is ro use in talking religion to @ man when his stomach is empty. The first thing to do is to put a man right with the world, and then it is a comparatively ‘yY matter to start him right with God. During the past year 111,304 meals wi served, and 2,087 people signed the pledge. The Margaret Strachan Home. The history of the Margaret Strachan Heme, New York, was told by Mrs. Mar- garet Sibthorpe. This home was started thirteen years ago by a poor little seam- strees from the north of Ireland. As she used to pass through West 27ih street, which was formerly one of the worst streets in the Tenderloin district, she saw the perils to which young girls were sub- jected, and her heart went out to them. One y in passing through the street Mag- gie Strachan saw that the house 10% West 27th street was for rent. It had been oc- cupied by colored women of the wi t sort. ggie went to the landlord and oft le » the house in order to open it shelter for young girls, where they might be safe from temptation. he landlord told her that the rent was $100 a month. “But I have only $3 to my name,” said Maggie. But where am I to look for my Lord will see to that, 1 May range as it may seem, said Mr: the man was won over to he vhere of tenants he had had and agreed to let the girl take the house to use it for a mi Maggie went at once to Mrs. Stebbins, a wealthy Mac woman, gor whom she had done + wing, and interested her In the work Vanderbilt and other Lknown New inter- ested themsely me and have con- tributed generously to its needs. Mrs. Steb- bins is the treasurer. Mrs. Ms tome, who is the head of the King's Daughters, is the president of tne home. Mrs. Sibthorpe, a silver-haired, motherly locking woman, who is the superintendent of the home, told of a number of cases that 4 R. R. Co.; continued. had come under her observation where fallen women had been brought back to an honest life and where others have been kept from falling. . Two Questions Answered. At the conclusion of her remarks one of the delegates rose in his place on the floor of the church and asked if he might put a couple of questions to Mrs. Sibthorpe for the information of others who are engaged in the same sort of work. “How long do you keep a girl in your home, Mrs. Sibthorpe?” “As long as is necessary. We always say that we want them to stay at least a month and as much longer as they care to stay. We have two women who have been with us for the last five years.” “And how many times will you take back a girl who runs away without your con- back—even to seventy “Praise the Lord,” “Allelujah,” arose in a warm chorus of en- courqgement from all parts of the church. Mr. C. M. Stocking of Minneapolis talked interestingly of the Christian Union Mission of that city, and Mrs. Brown spoke of the Helping Up Mission of Baltimore, and the session closed with a prayer for the work presented and a brief religious service.

The deaths reported at the health depart- ment last week numbered This is an excess of twelve over those reported in the preceding week. Fourteen were from ty- phoid fever, as against twelve the week previous and six in the same period last year. The average of other diseases in fatal form was very similar as between the two weeks. The abeyance of the dangerous contagious diseases still continues, the mor- tality being confined to chronic and acute brain and heart maladies and those per- taining to childhood. Of the total deaths fifty were children under five years of age. Only nine of these were from diarrhoeal ccmplaints, ihe remainder being mainly from premature birth and -congenital de- bility and kindred maladies. With the ex- ception of the persistence of typhoid fever, as mentioned above, which is somewhat in excess in the same periods of former years, the general health of the city is quite fay- orable. —— THE COURTS.

The, cohstruction of the sea wall in the tidal réservoir was con- tinued on the southeast margin and G00 linear feet of wall were completed. The total amount now constructed in the res- ervoir is 3,400 linear feet. Major Davis says the work was somewhat retarded by the extremely hot weather which prevail- ed during a large part of the month. No dredging was done during the month. ‘The plans for the present month are to con- inue the construction of the sea wall in the tidal reservoir. Eastern Branch Bridge. An appropriation of $3,500 was made in the District of Columbia appropriation act approved March 2, 1895, for a survey, plan and estimate of cost of a bridge across the Eastern branch of the Potcmac at or be- low the foot of South Capitol street. The topographical survey of the southeast shore of the Anacostia river was extended to Giesboro’ Point and the field work of the survey proper was completed Septem- ber 13 last. The Untted States pile driver was brought here from the Rappahan- novk river, afd the driving of test piles was commenced last month to determine the bearing power of the strata composing the river bed. The plotting of, the map is in progress. The driving of test piles will be completed this month, and the borings will be made.

A contract has been made with Johnson & Townsend of Somers’ Point, N. J., for the removal of the wreck of the steamer Lady of the Lake in the Washington chan- nel_of the Potomac ‘near the foot of N str@t. The steamer was burned February 15 last while lying at the Clyde line wharf. The vessel is 210 feet long, thirty-one fect wide and ten feet deep. It has an iron hull. The wreck lies in about twenty feet of water and projects about forty feet into the limits of the dredged channel.

EE NEW YORK’S CAMPAIGN OPENED. Progre: Sea Republican M: as Meeting — Action of th Germans. The first large m eting of the cam- paign was held in Cooper Union, New York, last night, under the auspices of the Te- publican Club. The principal speakers were ex-Senator Warner Miller and Charles ory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press. The most interest centered In the speech of Warner Miller, the author of the Sun- day plank in the republican platform. He prefaced his remarks by saying: “For the words which I shall utter here tonight no one is responsible: but myself. Neither the republican party’ nor the Republican Club shall be held responsible for the sen- timents I shall utter.” The speaker advocated # quiet and order- ly Sunday, and said that if saloons were to be open the same privilege should be ex- tended to every oiher trade. The law must be upheld, and the foreign- ers who come here to escape the tyranny of monarchial governments and are made welcome must become Americanized and obey the laws. The continental beer garden might be a good family resort, but Sunday opening of New York saloons meant brawls, murders and all crimes. A meeting of the faction of the German- American Reform Union which opposes the action of that body in uniting with Tam- many held a meeting last night and passed resolutions denouncing the coalition. Carl Schurz read a letter withdrawing from the union, which, he said, was organized to fight ‘municipal corruption as embodied in Tammany Hall. The Central Association of Liquor Deal- ers met last night and indorsed the demo- cratic state ticket and Tammany ticket. ++ ——___ A. P. A. GIVES NOTICE. Only Candidates Indorsing Its Prin- ciples to Be Supported. The advisory board of the American Pro- tective Association, after a two days’ ses- sion in St. Louis, adjourned sine die last night. The work consisted, almost wholly, in the drafting of a report by a sub-com- mittee and its adoption by the board. This report was in the nature of a declaration of principles, and may also be considered as a notice served on the political parties, in which it is declared that candidates will not be supported who are not in accord with the following principles: “Reduction of Immigration, to debar all undesirable persons, extension of time for naturalization, an educational qualification for suffrage, the maintenance of one gen- eral non-sectarian free public school sys- tem, no public funds or public property for sectarian purposes, taxation of all property not owned and controlled by the public, the cpening to public official inspection of all private schools, convents, monasteries, hos- pitals and all institutions of an educational and reformatory character; no support given for any public position to any person who recognizes primal allegiance in civil affairs to any foreign or ecclesiastical pow- er, public lands for actual settlement by American citizens only.” —— +00.

His Story of Ollic Taylor's Death Last Week. Yesterday the inquest was held over the remains of Ollie Taylor, who died at the Emergency Hospital Sunday, after having been kicked and struck on the head by John Lucas the Wednesday preceding while drunk and in a jealous rage. The witnesses called were Hattie Lucas, the prisoner's wife; Lillie Gaskins, Susan Limerick, Lizzie Morgan, Scott Hamel and Officer Cooney. ‘The jurors were Frank Thomas, James Gallagher, Robert Pettitt, Harry Volkman, John Fister and Samuel H. King. The testimony of all these was substantially as that published in The Star relative to the man’s death. Lucas, who was brought from jail, made a rambling statement. He was very nerv- ous. In the course of his talk he said he did not strike Taylor with the wooden po- tato masher, as evidence showed, but that all blows were struck with his foot or fist. The, potato masher, nevertheless, has blood “upon it. After due consideration the jury rendered a verdict to the effect that Ollie Taylor came to his death through the infliction of blows in the stomach and head received on Wednesday, October 9, and from the evidence John Lucas was the re- sponsible party. It was, therefore, directed that he be held for the grand jury. Prisoner's Statement. This morning a Star reporter talked to Lucas in his cell ut the seventh pre- cinet, where he is temporarily. Lucas is rather a wild-looking yellow fellow, forty- five years of age, and wears the clothes of a laborer. Kecently he worked for Mr. J. Maury Dove, unloading boats. He was much agitated while spenking. He said that his wife left him over a week ago, moving from St. Mary's court, Washington, to Olive street, Georgetown, while he was at work. When he went home he found the horse deserted. z He had discovered, he said, that her morals were very loose. She moved, he said, to escape interference from him. She took everything with her, even his clothes. He kunted and finally located her. When he approached the house his wife was standing at the door. She refused to let him in. He pushed her aside and entered, demanding his clothes. She cursed him. He then started . “You will get h—1 knocked out of you,” she said, “if you go up there.” | He went and met Ollie Taylor. They came down stairs together. Lucas demanded hy what right he was under his wife's roof. High words came and then, Luces says, Taylor struck him a blow. ‘This infuriated him and he began his attack. He had no thought of killing,the man. The anger of the moment incited retaliation. The man’s death has thrown him into deep grief. Lucas says his wife frequently told him that Ollie Taylor had taken advantage of his absence to make famillar advances to her. ———__ WED ON THE WAY. A School Girl Heiress Said te Have Made a Secret Marriage. A clandestine marriage that has produced a sensation in St. Joseph, Mo., and which is of local interest because the reported bride is known in this city, has been occupying considerable space in western newspapers of late. The parties to the alleged match are Edward Parkes Hall, the eighteen-year-old son of Dr. W. G. Hall, and Miss Leonora Hosea, the fifteen-year-old daughter of the late William B. Hosea. The families of the parties mentioned are among the best known in St. Joseph. The young folks have been associated with each other from childhood, and the apparent attachment between them was regarded as one of a friendly naiure only. : A marriage Hcense was issued in Chicago to Edwerd Hall and Leonora Hosea Sep- tember The day previous Miss Hosea, accompanied by some young ladjes, depar ‘ed from her home for this city, by 'way of Chi- cago. A number of persons were at the de- pot to bid farewell to the party, and it was Noticed that young Hall was absent. The publication of the marriage license in Chi- ¢ago caused inquiries to be made of Hall, and he is quoted to h>ve said in reply to a question from a reporter whether or not he was married: “I have nothing to say ex- cept that there is nothing in the story.” Miss Hosea, or perhaps she should be called Mrs. Hall, reached Washington October 1, but left the city a few days later. It is said’ that she will come into possession of $1,000,000 upon reaching her majority. —E— ‘Won by the Carroll Institute.
