STANDING COMMITTEES APPOINTED Addresses on the Various Phases of Church Work. A LARGE ATTENDANCE Standing room only was at a premium at Metzerott Hall this morning soon after the opening of the national conference of Uni- tarian and other Christian churches. The sessions of the conference are to last three days, and delegates from all over the coun- try have been pouring into the city for the last twenty-four hours. It now looks as though the estimate that there would be an attendance of out-of-town delegates reach- ing 2,000 was not so very far astray. As a religious gathering, the meeting this morning was rather out of the ordinary in that fully three-fourths of the delegates present are women, and a more attractive or more intellectual looking audience has rarely gathered in this city. This is the sixteenth meeting of the na- tonal conference, and little time was lost in getting down to business this morning. Rev. Geo. Batchelor. A detailed and comprehensive program was prepared In advance, which will probably be carried out almost to the letter. The work of the conference was suitably inaugurated by a communion service, held in Metzerott Hall at 9 o'clock this morn- Ing. The service was to have been con- ducted by Rev. Robert Collyer of New York, but, like Dr. Hale, he was unable to come on to Washington at this time. Rev. Charles Carroll Everett, D. D., LL.D. dean and Bu professor of theology at Harvard University, served in his stead. The service lasted for an hour, und con- sisted of the reading of the 13th chapter of Corinthfans and the sermon on the mount, prayer and the singing of several hymns, together with a few appropriate remarks by Dr. Everett. The hall was well filled when the service began, and it required the aid of a half dozen young ministers to pass the bread and the wine, as almost every one partook of the communion. At the conclusion of the service the con- ference was formally called to order by Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, one of the vice pres- idents of the conference, and the residing officer in the absence of Senator Hoar, the president of the national organization. Welcome to This City. ‘The address of welecme was delivered by Mr. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, erd also the chairman of the board of trustees of All Souls’ Church of this city. Mr. Wright said that the duty of bidding them welcome devolved upon him, and w: performed with the utmest pleasure. All Souls’ Church is one of the few historic organizations of the denomination in the land. It celebrates this year the seven fifth year of its histery, and Mr. Wrigat mentioned over the names of a number of well-known American citizens who have been connected with it since its organiza- tion. The bell which crowns the church was purchased with funds raised by a subscri tion started by John Quiney Adam was cast at the historic foundry establ by Paul Revere. When it tolled a knell for the death of John Brown it was labeled “the abolition bell.” During the heated times that followed the Brown raid the bell was silenced by the authorities of Washing- ton. But it is not silent today, and it rings out a glad message to all men at the :1a- tion’s capi Mr. Wright spoke in terms of the highest appreciation of the services rendered to All Souls’ Chureh by Rev. Dr. Rush R. Ship- pen. It was to Eis efforts more than to the efforts of any one man, Mr. Wright said, is due the success which has crowned the labors of the church. It is customary for speakers who are delivering addresses of welcome always to speak of the capital as particularly belonging io the body address- ed, but without going quite so far as that he wished to bid them all a hearty wel- come, both as Unitarian and American c izens, to this beautiful city. ‘A brief response to Mr. Wright's address of welcome was delivered by Mr. Haton. The Standing Committees. At the conclusion of this pleasant inter- change of courtesies Rev. Mr. Batchelor made some formal announcements as to the program and order of business. Then the following assistant secretaries and standing committees were announced as having been appointed by the council with the approval of the presiding officer: As- sistant secretaries, Mrs. Isabel C. Burrows, Rev. Carl G. Horst (credentials), Rev. Frank S. C. Wicks, W. T. Salter (R. R. certificates), Rev. W. S. Key (press agent). Committe on businesz, Carroll D.Wright. Charles H. Porter, D. L.

Joseph Ma Committee on credentials,Prescott Keyes, Rev. W. George H. Young, Rev. Carl G. Horst, Mrs. Emily A. Fifleld, Rev. Charles ¥. Russell. A cause for genuine regret In the confer- ence this morning was the official an- nouncement that Dr. Edward Everett Haie would not be able to attend the sessions of the conference, although his name was down on the program to open one of the most important discussions. It was stated in The Star yesterday that he would probably not be able to come ow- ing to the recent death of a son and the illness of his wife, who is suffering from pneumonia, Dr. Hale is one of the most famous men in the Unitarian Church and there are few ministers in any denomination who have a warmer place in the hearts of Americans generally than has this kindly-faced, silver haired write: Before beginning the business of the Castoria For Infants and Children.

Mr. Batchelor announced that a telegram expressing the love and regret of the conference had been prepared and he asked that before it was sent to Dr. Hale the conference express its approval by arising vote. The telegram was then read and formally adopted. The telegram was as follows: “To Dr. Edward Everett Hale, first sec- retary of the conference and veteran of the council—The naticnal conference sends af- fectionate greeting in memory of his many inguished services, and with tender pa: for the anxieties and sorrows which deprive the conference of his pres- ence and fellowship. Rev. Mr. Batchel By the most important matter business on the program for the mornin was the address by Rev. George Batchel: of Cambridge, Mass., the chairman of the council, and also the secretary of the Amer- fean Unitarian Association. or report, was submitted to the coune approved, with a few t as expressing the sentime: “s Address. far "Batchelor is an eloquent speaker, and his address was frequently imterrupted by applause. A Demand for Organization. Rev. Mr. Batchelor said, among other ing: “The first fact which confronts us is a demand for more and better organization. The ears of this conference are always open to that cry. For out cf such a demand iade thirty years ago this conference same. Since that event the following things have happened: One hundred and fifty churches have been organized. All the lo- cal conferences have been formed, except- ing the Maine, New Hampshire and west- ern. The Ministers’ Institute was create: by act of your council. The Women’s Alii- ance has cume into existence and become a national organization. Unitarian clubs fave sprung up, and have revealed a new possibility in the organization of men. Unity clubs, religious guilds and lend a hand clubs have been multiplied through- out the lard. The Sunday school societies east and west have enlarged their work nd greatly improved the quality of their puv- lications. The ladies’ commission on Sun- day school books has sifted literature for our children with signal success. The Uni- tarian Association, which thirty years ago was a private corporation, has become a national representative organization.” ‘After further reviewing the progress of thirty years, Mr. Batchelor said: “By preaching, by holding conventions, by the spread of Unitarian literature, by a wide diffusion of the ideas for which we stand, our constituency should be greatly enlarged without immediate reference to the founding of churches. But to carry out this large purpose it is also necessary to have influential churches as object lessons and centers of influence. The Unitarian ‘Association 1s prepared to undertake these tasks with enthuslasm and enersy As to the ministry, he said: “We have three sources of supply—the unsectarian divinity school of Harvard University, the Unitarian Theological School at Meadville and the ministry of other denominations. One of the inconvenient results of our pro- gress is that the change in other churches takes effect with the ministry before it does with the laity. The result is an in- creasing demand for admission to our min- istry and work under our auspices. Under these circumstances we say to the faculties of our schools that the needs of the Uni- tarian Church now require not many grad- uates so much as graduates of a high cr- der.’” Religious Unity. Under the head of religious unity the ad- dress said: ‘A new sense of the need of unity per- vades the religious life of the world. Among the many indications which might be cited are the Lambeth proposals, the Grindel- wald conferences, the letter of Leo XIII inviting the Protestant world to return to the Reman Church. Less notable, but near- er to us, are the liberal congress at Chi- cago in May, the one at Toronto in July, and numerous meetings of ministers of dif- ferent denominations, such as those at Ayer and on Cape Cod, Mass. With the purpose of these meetings your representatives are most heartily in sympathy. But they hold that, to succeed, all such plans must look toward a voluntary co-operation of churches and individuals who are prepared for union. There can be no union under compulsion. There is no value in a union of the disin- tegrated remains of institutions that have been broken up for that purpose. The law of evolution in nature is that the highest forms of life express themselves in the most refined and beautiful variety. For four thousand years denominations—that is, groups of mea and women drawn together by some common purpose and important enough to be denominated—have been the forms through which the advancing re- lgious life of the world has expressed it- self. Where there are no religious denomi- nations there is no religious life. That they are numerous and active in any coun- try is the token of a high stage of religious evolution. The true method of union is to go forward into sympathy and co-operation. The true type is a happy social union like that in which many families cordially unite for common purposes. Brotherhood and Progress. “If we think of all the races, religions and churches in the world,” said Mr. Batcheior, “as looking in one direction, each one occu- pled with the ends and ideas which are near- est, but all together slowly advancing to- of] ward the real ends and the whole truth, then we can say that we agree with them all, and that we are opposed to none, not even to those that are nearest to us nor to those from whom we @iffer most. ‘This conference agrees with the church wni- versal in believing that the kingdom of God upon th!s earth is only a part of a larxer Kingdom ina spiritual universe, and that our human duties and hely hopes would lose th atmosphere of/an eter- the pr, howe al, and probably s to Come, when that the highest duty! andi the su- preme object for which the church ex: is the perf jon of human nateretand ty upon this e and h umes dig- The d. of family life are en- nobled.

Further, also, be- cause man was not made to live alone, it will be our purpose to set such human beings thus happily striving together in churches, that through their accumulated power each one may act for the betterment of human society with the momentum of the -oncen- trated energy of many.” Government of Cities, At the conclusion of the reading of this address fhere was a generous burst of ap- plause. Mr. Batchelor then read the reso- lutions which had been prepared by the council, and submitted for the approval of the conference. The resolutions read as fol- lows, after they had been passed upon by the business committee: “Resolved, Trat the serious and increas- ing corruption and crime developed in re- cent yeers in connect:on with the govern- ment of American cities haye not only made good municipal administration much mcre difficult and costly, but have so ob- structed the advancement both of morality and religion as to make it a grave duty of all municipal reformers to exert themselves for the arrest of such evils in the future, and to make common cause in urging all cod citizens to discard mere party spirit and interests and to unite in common ef- ferts for gcod municipal gov i cut regard to their party affiliations. “Resolved, That this conference wishes to express its profound sense of the serious nature of those evils, which have their origin in habits of intemperance and in the demoralizing influence of the traffic in in- toxicating drinks. These evils not only cause the needless expenditure of vast sums of money without useful results, the serious impairment of physical and mental energies, the general debasement of character and much of the corruption in politics and gov- ernment, but they are also a chief obstruc- tion to ‘the triumph of morality and re- ligion, a reproach to an enlightened people and to Christian civilization. “Resolved, That without atempting to estimate the relative merits of the di- verse practical methods upon which men, equally conscientious, mainly rely for sup- pressing these evils, we wish to emphasize the stern and universal Christian duty of all the friends of good government, virtue and religion that they shall exert themselves to the utmost, at all proper times, and in every way which seems to them most ef- fective fer such suppression. “We think that no pulpit should be silent on this subject, and that every Unitarian layman has a duty in connection iwith it which he has no right to ignore.” The remainder of the morning session was taken up for the most part by thé reading of a couple of important and interesting papers by Mrs. Fifield of Boston, the secre- tary of the Woman’s Alliance, and by Rev. Brooke Herford, D. D., of London, who is the representative of the British and For- eign Unitarians’ Association. Rev. Wm. H. Lyon of Boston, who re) sents the Unitarian churches, of Hungary as a delegate to the conference, was then introduced and spoke briefly jof the work of Unitarianism in that distant land. In conclusion, he moved a message of love and greeting to the Hungarian Church, which was at once adopted unanimously as the voice of the conference. After some routine announcements, the conference adjourned at 12:40 o*clock. A session was held this afterhoon and the conference will meet this evening. ——___ Dr. Talmage Here. Rey. Dr. De Witt Talmage came over to Washington from Brooklyn last night with his two daughters and went at once to the Arlington, where he will make his home, having engaged a suite of rooms in the Sumner annex on the second floor. Dr. Talmage was not expected until today, but having no special reason for longer re- maining in Brooklyn he came at once to the scene of his new labors and is now busily engaged in setting his affairs in order and preparing for his installation tomorrow night as co-pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. He says he is in good health and excellent spirits and anx- lous to take up the work to which he has been called. He will probably preach his first sermon Sunday night. Twelve Months’ Work of the Board of Children’s Guardians. FUNDS NEEDED FOR ANOTHER YEAR Some Suggestions About the Care of the Feeble-Minded. CHILDREN OF THE SLUMS ———E The third annual report of the board of children’s guardians was submitted to the Commissioners today by Secretary B. Pick- man Mann. The report says the board began the year with’185 ordinary (i. e., not feeble-minded) wards in charge. It closed the year having 255 ordinary wards. The aggregate num- ber of days that children, other than feeble-minded, were in charge of the board Was 726, or an average of 221.4 chil- dren for every day in the year. The aggre- gate cost of board and care, clothing and medical attendance of these children, ad- ministration and supervision, was $16,306.69. This is at the rate of 20.2 cents per day, or $73.65 per year. A table is submitted, showing the per capita cost and maintenance of the wards of the board. Last year the average num- ber of wards ia boarding homes was 20.64. ‘Inis year it was 47.74. The per capita cost based on the whole number was $124.10 last year, and $104.23 this year. The fer capita cost’ of maintenance based on total number of wards and total expenses was $102.72 for 1894 and $73.65 for 1895. Feeble-minded children were maintained 8,102 days, at a cost, including bills not paid, of $5,099.14, or 62.94 cents per day, or 229.73 per year. The expenses for placing and visiting children during the past year were not so great, the report says, as was expected, partly because the amount of office work which had to be done, and which could have been done in large part by a clerk, prevented the agent from having time needed for outside work. The economy in expenditure for maintenance of children which would be secured by making it pos- sible for the agent or agents to find more fice homes, as well as the betterment in the quality of the homes which might te secured, by enabling the agent to se2k homes for the children, rather than wait to have applications for children made at the office, both argue 'n faver of an adequate appropriation for administrative purposes. Estimates for 1897. The following estimates are made of ex- penses for board and care of children for the year 1897: (1) For board and care of an aver- age of 160 children at $100..$16,000 00 (2) For medical care of 100 chil- dren in boarding homes, at $6 each. -+- 600 00 @) For clothing for 10) childre1 departing for free homes, at $lu ... « 1,000 00 (4) For temporary care of chi dren pendicg investigation or while being transferred from place to place.. Total oe e+ $18,350 60 For the care of ble-minded children the following estimate is made for the year ending June, 189 For the care of average of $22. Feeble children, at an each.. $7,875 00 inded Children. The board of children’s guardians, upon taking up the care of the feeble-minded children of the District, found twenty- three children already in charge, calling for an expenditure of $5,200 for the year 1804. For the year 1895 the expenditures of the board for this purpose were $3,040.14, of which $1,609.28 remain unpaid by reason of the inadequacy of the appropriation at the disposal of the board. There are feeble- minded children now at the alms house, for whom, the report says, different provisions should be the report continues, number of cases under con- sideration by the board in which there is urgeut need of asylum care of the chil- dren. If all new cases are hereafter re- fused, up to the end of the fiscal year 1896, the expenditures of the board for this pur- pose for this year will be $5,800. Hereto- fcre the appropriation for this purpose has been made in connection with that for the maintenance of the wards of the board not feeble-minded. The superintendent of char- ities and the Commissioners of the District are now respectfully urged to request that a separate appropriation be made for this work. The board wishes to be relieved of the necessity of choosing between leaving the community exposed to the dangers aris- ing from irresponsible persons being at large and leaving helpless little children to suffer from the negiect and abuse of un- worthy parents. The present appropria- tion is not sufficient to provide for both classes for the present year." The work accomplished by this board dur- ing the year includes the following items, which have been made matters of record: Number of applications received on behalf of children to be taken in charge, 307; num- ber on behalf of whom proceedings were begun in court, 89; number of children co: mitted by courts and provided for by this board, permanent, 110; temporary (not fin- ally committed), 19; total, 129. Number of children provided for temporarily, without authority of the courts, exclusive of those subsequently committed, 22; number of ap- plications received for children to be taken by families, 268; number of new applications for children investigated and acted upon, 146; whole number of homes provided, in- cluding transfers and replacements, 127; number of official visits by agent to placed out wards of the board, 1%4; number of ab- sconders, from homes and institutions, ap- prehended and returned, 30. 3 The number of children committed for vagrancy, incorrigibility and petty offenses this year was less than half as great as Inst year. The operations of the board aaving been limited by lack of funds and by restric- tions as to number of employes, it seemed proper and necessary to avoid, so far as the matter could be controlled by the board, the class of cases which would soonest and most urgently demand increased appropriations and the services of additional employes. “It must never be supposed,” says the re- port, “that the children of the slums are waiting and anxious to be benefited. Noth- ing could be farther from the truth. If moral possession of them is to be obtained physical possession must be kept secure. It is believed that had it been possible for the board to keep these children for periods of time determined by their conduct and their ascertained character and previous his- tory, very much might have been accom- plished with them, but that could not be done. The board had no place to send them where their vagrant impulses could be re- strained until they could be brought to be- lieve in the sincerity of their real friends and into harmony with the efforts made in their behalf. The Care of Infants, “The wards of the board two years old and under have been dealt with in private families almost exclusively during the past year. The rate paid for their maintenance has been, uniformly, ten dollars per month, where only one child was placed with a nurse, and eighteen dollars where two were placed. Not more than two have been placed under the care of any one person. The rules for the government of nurses, published by the board during last summer, have been enforced with the greatest care, and the re- sults are sufficiently successful to warrant the employment of the present methods to the exclusion of all others until better shall be done under some new plan yet to be de- vised. The infants received by the board have come with the sort of history of con- genital disease, mal-nutrition, abuse and exposure, which 1s usually the sole inherit- ance of the abandoned infant.” Beecham’s Piils for con= Stipation, 10c. and 25c¢ Get the book at your drug- gist’s and go by it.

Local No. 1% of Carpenters, held their usual weckly meeting last night at their shall, No. 627 Massachusetts avenue north- west. The attendance was excellent, and while there was much business transacted, it was of interest only to the members. It was stated that but few of the members are now idle, a condition of affairs which has not heretofore existed for a long time. ‘After the adjournmert a leading member of the scciety told a Star reporter that the heretofore much-talked-of proposed con- solidation of the four carpenters and join- ers’ organizations of this city into two bodies, or perhaps one only, has fallen through. It was found that there were dif- ficulties which could not be surmounted in a manner satisfactory to all concerned. Principal among these was a question in regard to an unpaid assessment of many years ago by one of the bodies, which they still, it is said, refused to liquidate, on the ground that they believed it to be illegal. After repeated conferences between dele- gates who were appointed to consider the subject of union it was found that they were as far from a satisfactory conclusion as when they first met, and it was decided to abandon the project. The Amalgamated Soctety of Carpen- ters and Joiners held an unusually pleas- ant meeting last night at Costello's Hall, corner of 6th and G streets northwest. A report of Organizer George Cavanaugh stated that within the last few weeks he has organized two branches of the Amal- gamated Society of Carpenters and Join- ers, one in Bridgeport, Conn., and another in Providence, R. L, and that the pros- pects are gocd for the organization of sev- eral more branches in the near future, and that there are at this time fewer of the members out of employment than for two years past. The society also voted to pay claims amounting to $i.22 to members for tools stolen from them since the last meeting. ‘At the meeting cf Carpenters and Join- ers' Aesembly, No. 1748, K. of L., last night several important amendments to the by- laws were considered and defeated. Reports from the federation and District assembly were made, and delegates to the carpenters’ council elected. The Name Changed. The board of management of the labor bureau decided at a meeting held last night to change the rame of the organization to the Workirgmen’s Library Association and Bureau of Labor. The committee having charge of the matter of procuring perma- nent quarters reported that they had a place in view, and would probably be ready to report at the next meeting. Bakers’ Drivers’ Assembly last night re- ceived nine applications for membership and initiated six new members, and also in- dorsed by request of a committee from the Laundry Workers’ Assembly the 1ith street, Wells’ Boston, Dexter and Banner laundries. Annourcement was made that a special meeting for the purpose of consider- ing prepcsed amendments to the constitu- tion and by-laws will be held next month, Laundry Workers. The laundry workers, who are organized as Industrial Assembly, No. 1328, K. of L., last night elected several new members, who will be initiated next week. An open meeting was held after the transaction of routine business, at which addresses were made by several of the members, and also by members of D. A. 66, K. of L. At the last meeting of the Bottlers’ Em- ployes’ Assembly the following delegates to the Federation of Labor were elected: J. Roberts, H. Carneal, H. J. Kittenger, C. J. Bowen and J. R. Callahan. ——— CLASH OF AUTHORITY. District Officials and Police Court the Participants. There was a clesh between the Police Court and the District government this morning, and a representative of the latter narrowly escaped being fined or being sent to jail. When the case of Messrs. Marshall and Gleason, proprietors of the Oxford Ho- tel, charged with violating the Sunday liquor law, was called, the witnesses failed to responé, and Judge Miller wanted to know the reason they were not in court. So far as the record of the court was con- cerned, subpoenas had been sent out for the witnesses. These subpoenas were sent to police headquarters, from where, during the usual course of events, they should have been sent to the first police station, and by the police returned to court, wheth- er they had been served or not. Lieut. Amiss and other officers of the p:e- cinct were in court, and the judge was in- formed that the court writs had never reached there. Detective Lacy, who was in court, was called upon for information, and he said that when the subpoenas are received at headquarters they are sent to the telephone rcom and sent by telephone to the pre- cincts. At the police stations copies are made and served,while the papers from the court are put on file in the operator’s room at headquarters. Judge Miller said he was getting sick and tired of this trouble about subpoenas, and said that if there was any trouble in the future he would impose a severe penalty cn some policeman. The court directed the issuance of a sub- poena for the telephone operator on duty at headquarters, Mr. Maddux, and Detect-, ive Lacy was sent to serve the paper. ‘He soon returned to court and informed the judge that Mr. Miles, the superintendent of the service, said he would not let his operator come to court. “And,” said the officer, “he said that his office was of more importance than the court.” Judge Miller directed the issuance of an attachment for the operator, but before it was made out it transpired that there was a defect in the original subpoena, and no attachment could be served. ‘A second subpoena brought the operator with the paper that had caused so much trouble. When Judge Miller questioned him about his refusal to respond to the first subpoena he said that Mr. Miles would not let him come. “Why?” inquired the court. “There was no one in the office,” was his answer. Judge Miller told him that Mr, Miles must have been there, and asked if he (Miles) could not operate the telephone. ‘The operator answered that he knew noth- ing of Mr. Miles’ ability. “Well,” said the judge, “If the first sub- poena sent to you had not been faulty, I would have fined you severely for contemp ‘The operator produced the record, which showed that the contents of the stibpoena in the whisky case had been telephoned to = FINANCIAL. th ISSUE OF STOCK OPEN FOR SUBSCRIPTION AND FIRST PAYMENT.
