GREAT ENTHUSIASM Intense Interest at’ the National Christian Mission Union. WORK OF RESCUE IN MANY CITIES Reformed Men Tell of the Influence of Missions. FUTURE PROGRAMS The third and last day of the convention of the National Gospel Mission Union be- gan at 9 o'clock this morning at Foundry M. E. Church. The work of the day was inaugurated by a religious service, which was conducted by Mr. S. H. Hadley, who is actively connected with rescue mission work in New York. There were earnest ard heart-moving prayers and some enthu- slastic singing. Under the influence 9f one hymn, which had the true “revival swing” to it, aumbers of those in the audience be- ceme worked up to a high pitch, and from all over the church came such cries as “Allelujah!” “It cleanseth me,” “The stream of God’s love makes me pure in- deed.” ‘The meetings of the day began at a high degree of enthusiasm, but this was kept vp all day, for the reports of the various forms of mission from all parts of the country were of the most encouraging character. Last Evening’s Session. The meeting last’ evening was’ made bright with good music. The scene was a repetition of the one the evening before. The church was packed to the doors, and it was necessary to place a number of chairs around the platform in order to ac- commodate the overflow. The exercises were of the most interesting nature, and the audience entered fully into the spirit of the meeting. President Hilton occupied the chair, and Mr. Percy S. Foster conducted a song ser- vice, leading the Moody choir of 200 voices, the mission choir and Silver Lake quartet. After a short service of prayer, Mr. A. W. Milbury was introduced to talk about the workings of the Industrial Christian Al- lance in New York. He first told of some of his experiences with men who had been rescued. He said mission workers had much to be grateful for because they were brought face to face with sin in its worst ferm, and had seen human beings raised from the lowest depths by a grand trans- formation through the spirit of Christ. “There are no pessimists among mission workers,” said Mr. Milbury. ‘When it was proposed to form the Industrial Alliance, some one said tc me, ‘You can’t reform these people; they all turn out bad again. Only yesterday I pointed out to this man miy large corps of assistants, laden with responsible duties, and I said, ‘These are all rescued men, and I thank God for the services they have done in rescuing other men.’ ”* Mr. S. H. Hadley of New York also talk- ed interestingly of mission work in the metropolis. At the conclusion of the meet- ing at Foundry Church a number of the delegates adjourned to the Open Doop Mission in the Division, wee ee enthu- jastic religious service was held. “The morning meeting today was devoted for tha most part to quarter-hour reports of mission work. The Open Door Mission. The first speaker was Mrs. McLillan of Chicago, who told the history of the Open Door Mission in thé windy city. This mission had its origin in the conversion of a notorious woman named Mirnie Brooks. Her house was @ well-known place in the worst part of Chicago. About fourteen years ago she became ashamed of her evil life and, being taken sick, she called in Mrs. McLillan, who was engaged in mission work at the time. She had con- ducted a saloon in conection with her house, but it was not long before the bar was taken out and in its stead were placed benches and a table for the Bible. The door is kept open all the time, so that sin- rers might enter at any hour and find a warm welcome. The work is not confined solely to the reformation of fallen women, but applies to men and children as well. More than 275 men have expressed con- version within that “Open Door. The Worst Street in the World. Mr. Harry Taylor told of the work that is being done at the Trout Street Mission, Philadelphia. He said that, in his opinion, the slums of Philadelphia are the worst in the United States, for they are contracted into a small space, where every known form of vice flourishes like a weed. The mission is at the very center of this plague spot. TeTrout street,” said Mr. Taylor, “is the worst street in the worst neighborhood in the worst city in the worst world.” Mr. Taylor is one of the most enthusiastic workers in the convention, and one of the most popular personally. He said this morning that he was born in a mission, had lived in a mission, and hoped that he might die in a mission. ‘When the work was first started in Trout street, said Mr. Taylor, the house across the street was the most notorious dive in that section. It was kept by a tough old hag, known as “Mommy” Little, who called her place the “Green Onion." The mission people prayer that they might have that place as a home for their work. There was apparently no chance that they could get it, for the “Green Onion” was a valuaple piece of property, yet within four days the police raided the place, and the Little wo- man was arrested for harboring a minor. She saw years of imprisonment in front of her and at once sent for Mr. Taylor to come to see her at the jail. He had strug- gled in prayer with her before and she knew of the work that he and his fellow workers were trying to do. She told him - LOOK OUT FOR BREAKERS AHEAD when pimples, eruptions, boils, and like manifes- tations of impure Dlood appear. They wouldn’t appear if your blood were pure and your sys- tem in the right condition. They show you what you need—a good biood- purifier; that’s what you get when yon take Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It carries health with it. All Blood, Skin and Scalp Di eases, from a com- mon Blotch, or Eruption, to the worst Scrofula, are cured by it. It invigorates the liver and rouses every orgau into healthful action. In the most stubborn forms of Skin Diseases, such as Salt- rheum, Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, Boils and kindred ailments, and witu Scrofula, in every shape, and all blood-taints, no matter “Eom what cause arising, it is an unequaled remedy. SCROFULOUS ABSCESSES. Mrs. BELLE Sweeney, of Flat Top, Mercer Co., W. Va., writes: “ About four years ago 1 took scrofila, and did everything that doctors and others prescribed, but only got worse. Several abscesses formed about my neck and breast, disharging a quantity of matter. T got so weak I could scarcely walk about the house. I read all the medical works I could get hold of, aud, amor the rest, read some oi your works. You de- Scribed my case, and recommended Doctor Pierce's Golden. Medical 46 Discovery with his ‘SWEENEY. ‘Pleasant Pellets.’ so MBS I procured someand commenced using them and soon began to mend. In six months my sores were all healed up. I am forty-five years old and believe Tam as stout ag I ever was in my life. I used about one dozen bottles of the “Golden Medical Discovery’ with the ‘Pel- lets,’ and used nothing else after I began using your medicines,” that if he would care for her property, for she knew her old asscciates would drink up her liquor and burn her furniture, she would promise to turn over to him the lease on the house. The result of it all was that the infamous old Green Onion was soon transformed into a rescue mission for the salvation of fallen men and women. Instead of .being a sink hole of nastiness it was made into a power for good. Mr. Taylor concluded his address by telling a dumber of instances where men and women had been reclaimed and soles through the influence of the mission. “The Ralph Mead, jr., Memorial R&cue Mission Home” was the subject of an ad- dress by Mr. Hugh Jones of Brooklyn. He described himself as a drunkard who had been saved through the grace of God. He was a Welshman, born under the shadow of Mt. Snowden. He drifted to Liverpool, where he ran a tough saloon and music hall in one of the worst parts of the city. He went on to tell of the wonderful influ- ence that had changed him from a dive Keeper into the superintendent of a mis- sion home. saved Vile Literature. At the conclusion of Mr. Jones’ remarks President Hilton introduced Mr. Yates Hickey of the American Railway Literary Union. In his introduction Major Hilton spoke at some length of the growing evil of impure literature. In his address Mr. Hickey said that vile literature will go where whisky cannot always go. Its vitiating steam wanders through all fields of life. Vile literature, he said, fills the houses of ill-fame ard whisky keeps the inmates there. Mr. Hickey told of the efforts that are being made to keep vicious books out of the mails, off the railway trains and to put a stop to the sale at the newsstands at the railway stations. This address was followed by another everoptiate song by the Silver Lake Quar- et. - Mr. H. G. Fithian, a handsome and well- dressed young man, described the work of the Broadway Mission of Sing Sing, N. Y. He said that Sing Sing ts not only a peni- tentiary town, but it is also a town of cul- ture and wealth. Not all criminals are in the penitentiary, nor are all the men be- hind the bars the hardened wretches they are thought to be, and they are almost always amenable to good influences. At the Broadway Mission they have an aver- age attendance every evening of about forty, and there have been many inter- esting cases of conversion accomplished there. Work in Alexandria. One of the first evangelistic moyements started directly under the auspices of the National Union was a mission organized last spring In Alexandria, and Mr. R. E. Red- ding, the superintendent, was introduced to speak of his work. Mr. Redding is a Central Union Mission convert of this city and well known in mission work. Four years ago he was the driver of an ice Wagon and a pretty hard drinking man. As a result of his habits his home was broken up, and he was rapidly going from bad to worse. One night he encountered the Central Union Mission gospel wagon, ard his “start upward” dated from that open-air service. Today he is a fine-look- ing, earnest man, and in an interesting manner he described the evangelistic work he has been trying to do in Alexandria. ‘The final speaker of the morning was 4irs.

Deloe, the young reporter who mysteriously disappeared from Du- bois, Pa., several weeks ago, and after a lapse of twelve days, during which his whereabouts were unknown, suddenly ap- peared at his parents’ residence, 802 I street northeast, is suffering from a severe atiack of typhoid fever. The young man has not completely recovered from his de- lirium as yet, and has been unable to tell the story of his wanderings. On the ad- vice of the family physician, Dr. D. H. Riggs, Deloe has been taken to the Homeo- pathic Hospital, in order that constant and skilled attention can be given to his case. It was also thought advisable to make the removal for the reason that the younger brother of Deloe is suffering from a serious case of malarial fever. ——.{__ Massachusetts Gets the Minnesota.

To replace this would cost a large sum of money, and the state of Massa- chusetts must take her as she is. Atten- ticn has been called to the state of the ship hy the naval officers, and Capt. Weeks has been warned that it will be safe to tow the beat around to Boston only in the smooth- est weather. An enlisted man of the navy will be aboard to run the auxiliary ma- chinery, and a good life boat and anchors are in place in case of need. —————————— The President’s Trip to Atlnnta.

THE TAX: ON BEER Retail Liquor Dealers Opposed to Making It ‘Higher, WHAT SECRETARY: HALL SAYS OF I? A Fight to Be ‘Made on Any At- tempt to, Incgease It. nea — ti THE POOR MAN’S BEVERAGE That a proposition to increase the tax on beer would naturally meet with more or less opposition from the retail liquor deal- ers goes without saying. But that it will be actively opposed by them as a body is quite as clearly indicated by the expression of leading members of their organization, which has been in session here during the past day or two. ‘ “Of course, there is no use of our crossing a bridge befare we come to it,” said Secre- tary Robert J. Halle of Chicago, who was asked by a Star reporter about the prospect of action on the subject. “We have no knowledge that there is to be any such ac- tion by Congress, and until we see some definite indications on this subject, we shall probably take no definite action. But it may be set down as certain that, if Con- gress attempts to add this burden to what we are already carrying, we shall fight it.” “By the term ‘we’ you mean the retail liquor dealers of the country?” “Yes. We are already paying enormous sums, both to the local and national gov- ernments. All retail liquor dealers pay their license, very high ones in many cases; they pay their tobacco tax, the tax on the whisky they sell, the tax on the beer they sell, the tariff on the imported stuff they sell. Where do you find a class of business men who are so much taxed? Who Bears the Burden. “But the answer to that, Mr. Halle, is that the dealers charge up all these things to the consumers.” “Yes; I know that is the answer, but it dcesn’t cover it all. We pay our proportion, a very large proportion, too, in relation to numbers, of these -various forms of taxa- tion. And if there is an attempt to add to the war tax on beer, there will be some Sharp and vigorous opposition to it, I can tell you. People don’t seem to realize that the war tax on beer has never been re- duced. The rate of taxation on this par- ticular article has remained the same ever since the,war. The tax on tobacco, whisky and other articles has been reduced, and on bank checks, deeds, mortgages, matches, perfumeries end many other things was removed long ago. But the tax on beer re- mains the same as it was in war times. And now it is proposed to double it. It is unjust, not only to us as dealers, but to the poor man, from whom it would be, in part at least, collected. The rich man has long ago been relieved of war rates of taxation, and yet it is now proposed to double the rate upon the poor man and upon those who sell to him.” “Then you assume. fhatan increase of the tax on beer would mot) be borne by the manufacturers of bear?”- “Certainly not. It woud result in an in- crease of the price.of the beer which we buy, by just the amguntjthat might be add- ed in the matter of.tax. The result would be that we should either have to carry it ourselves or reduce, the amount of beer that the poor man gets for his nickel, Per- haps it would be both, for it seems prob- able that the dealerg,would have to shoul- der a pretty large share.of this, as they do already of the other lines of taxation to which they are subjected by municipal, state and national Jaws,; Beer is the poor mun’s beverage. Ofcourse, it is consumed, to some extent, by. others; but it is espe- cially the beverage of the poor man. The saloon is the poor -manis club. He meets others, his friends and acquaintances, there, and, if the saloons aré properly conducted, he is benefited rather ‘than injured by the contact, and the conversation and the things he learns in the discussion of the affairs of the day.” To Be Unanimously Opposed. “Recurring to the question of prospective increase in the tax on beer, will the mem- bers of the Association of Retail Liquor Dealers be generally opposed to it?” “Undoubtedly; unanimously.” “But you don’t look for any action at the present time?" “As I have already satd, there seems to be no occasion to attempt to cross the bridge until we know what Is to be in our road. But I am not sure that there will be ho expression in regard to it. At each of our former meetings there was discussion on the subject, and resolutions passed in opposition to it. I should not be surprised to sec something of this sort this time. But, whether there is or not, it may be set down as a fact that the members of the association everywhere will be opposed to it, and will throw their best influence against it whenever the proper time comes, and in such ways as are likely to be most effective.” “Is your organization a strong one, numbers and influence?’ ‘We are organized in twenty-eight states already, and will be in others soon. The organization includes the best men in the business, and will naturally have a very considerable influence.” “Was the association organized with this purpose in mind, the control of s:ational legislation on these subjects?” “No; not with relation to national mat- ters especially. The object is to consult about conditions, unjust laws, and wnjust ccnditions generally, and to get the benefit of mutual counsel and advice. The mem- bers from New York, for instance, can tell of their experiences with certain laws and certain conditions, and those from Illinois have other laws and experiences to dis- cuss. The object is not to encourage vio- lations or evasions of the law, but to ob- tain the repeal or modification of unjust laws. For instance, we think it proper that druggists shall be subjected to the same requirements that saloonists are in regard to the sale of liquor as a beverage. If saloons must close at midnight or on Sunday, the druggists and the speak- easies and the other places where liquor is sold should be required to cease the sale of liquors at the same hour, and should be compelled tu pay retail liquor Hcense, 3s the saloons do. We are not law breakers, nor do we want other people to be.” —-____ CURRENCY REFORM. in Secretary Carlisle’s Plan to Retire the Greenbacks. New York Special to the Philadelphia Press. Secretary Carlisle's speech in Boston upon the currency question confirms the impres- sion of Wall street hankers that it will be the purpose of the admipistration to secure Iegislation, if possibje,,which will permit the Secretary to retire ithe greenbacks, and as fast as possible other government paper, and will remit to banks, both state and national, the exclusive,prerogative of fur- nishing the paper money for the country. That is the plan which the Reform Club here favors, and 4*cofnmittee from that club will go to Waaington as soon as con- venient after Congress meets and ask for a hearing before the banking and currency committee. It will enter a bill providing for the early, though gradual, retirement of the greenbacks,rthetrepeal of the law affecting state banieviftulation, and giving to the national bapks the privilege of is- suing, subject to proper regulation from the Treasury Departniént, national bank notes secured, not ‘by B deposit of bonds, but by a safety reserve ‘fund. As Mr. Carlisle’s speech is taken here, he favors this plan in its general principles, but it will be opposed in New York, and a committee from the clearing house will probably appear before the banking and currency committee to recommend legisla- tion which will embody the principles set forth in what is known as the “Baltimore plan.” ee ee Builders in Convention. The ninth annual convention of the Na- tional Association of Builders began Tues- day in Baltimore. Only une session was held and the time was taken up with addresses of welcome by Mayor Latrobe and Mr. Samuel B. Sexton, president of the Baltimore exchange, and otker addresses by Mr. Noble H. Creager, president of the national association, and Mr. Robert D. Andrews of Boston. IN FREDERICK TOWN. Echoes of the Reeent Fair—The Peli- ticlams Abroad. Correspondence. of The Evening Star. FREDERICK, Md., October 16, 1895. The Frederick county fair is now a thing of the past for this year, but it was a great Institution during its four days of exist- ence. This county fair is the event of the year for the people living in the country districts. It is the only time some of them get into the city of Frederick, and people meet on the fair grounds who never see one another anywhere else. They come in all sorts of vehicles, and drive, some of them, ten and fifteen miles every day from their homes and back again. They get to the feir grounds early and they stay late. Most of the families bring their lunches with them and picnic in their wagons or carriages when they get hungry. The dis- play this year was not quite so extensive as last year, but the standard of excellence was fully as high. There was a fine collec- tion of stock of every character, and the judges exercised good discrimination in their awards. The fair is well managed and is said to be a profitable institution. There is a good force of police, and though the grounds were at times crowded, but few instances of disturbence occurred. I saw one man hustled out of the gate in double-quick time because he was under the influence of liquor and quarrelseme. It was subse- quently learned that he had struck one of the women belonging to a side show, and a warrant for his apprehension was speedily made out. Side Shows and Fakirs. Speaking of the side shows, they form an interesting feature of the fair, and furnish the only kind of amusement that some of the people ever get. The tents are usually well filled at every performance, and these are given as fast as the audiences can be turned out and new ones induced to come in. Outside of each tent is the orator, who Gepicts in a stentorian voice and horribly bad grammar the wonders to be seen with- in. Usually some of the performers are brought outside and paraded for the benefit of the crowd. Then there are fakirs of all kinds, who try to catch the money of the rur2l vis- itors. I saw one man who made a decided mistake in attempting to wring a quarter from a rather innocent countryman. He was selling a “saponifier,” and he asked the man to just hold a box for a minute and to hend him up a quarter. Business was rather dull, and when the man said he didn’t want the article, the fakir reiterated that he only wanted him to hold the box and hand him up the quarter. The coun- tryman finally consented, and then the fa- kir went on to descant upon the merits of the article, and to say that with every box sold he gave a sponge, which he han-ed to the man holding the box, and then waried to know who would buy another box for the “small sum of a quarter of a dollar.” The countryman protested that he didn’t want the stuff, and tried to have the fakir take it back and return his quarter, but the fakir paid no attention to him and went on with his selling. The countryman evident- ly didn’t want a scene, and he backed out of the crowd. He had a little black-cyed wife, however, who didn’t propose to be swindled, and she came back and culled the fakir a humbug, explaining to the crowd how her husband had been worked. The fakir tried to bluff her off, but the crowd was with her, and she wouldn't be put down, and so he finally returned her quarter and took back his stuff. The trick was so palpable that it broke up all thé “saponifier” business for that fair. Politics, Thursday Mr. Lloyd Lowndes, the re- publican candidate for governor of Mary- land, was at the fair and was entertained by the managers. He subsequently made a tour of the grounds and spoke to every one who wore a Lowndes button. There were many of these, for there is a large republ'can contingent in Frederick county, and there is quite a hope here of that party’s success. Mr. Lowndes is easy and affable in his mauners, and he not only secured the votes of all the republicans who met him, but captured a good many who have heretofore voted the democratic ticket, but are now belting against the dictation of Senator mun, A good deal of politics is worked at these county fairs and the one here has been no exception. The democrats are disappointed because Mr. Hurst, their candidate for governor, did not put in an appearance during the fair, and say that his failure in this re- spect will cost him votes in November, either in those that will not ba cast or those that will go to Mr. Lowndes. Where Barbara Freitchie Lived. No one comes to Frederick without visit- ing the spot where stood the cottage of Barbara Freitchie, who has been immor- talized In Whittier’s beautiful and stirring poem. While the incident on which the poem is founded is apocryphal so far as Dame Freitchie is concerned, there are many stories told of the old lady and her intense unionism and devotion to the American flag. It is sald that when the confederate soldiers would stop to rest on her doorsteps she would go to the door and beat them away with the broom kan- dle and then carefully sweep off the steps that ne contamination might come from their having been occupied by rebei_ sol- diers. Union soldiers, however, could al- ways rest there as long as they pleased, and the old lady would give them food and drink. The Stonewall Jackson inci- dent happened in front of the home of her niece, Mrs. Quantrell. about half a dozen dwellings beyond Mrs. Freitchie’s resi- dence. ¥F. T.
