Closing of the Extremely Successful Meeting Last Night. After a most successful three-days’ meet- ing of Epworth Leaguers assembled in their fifth annual convention, all the chapters of the District union gathered together last night at Foundry M. E. Church for a final service—a season of consecration. Every seat in the audience room, both on the floor and in the galleries, was filled, and the en- thusiastic young people engaged heartily in the service. Inspiring singing was a feature of the service. Rey. Dr. L. B. Wilson, the presiding elder of this district, conducted the services, and Seated on the platform with him were Bishop Taylor of Africa, Rev. Watson Case, Rev. W.W. Van Arsdale, Rev. L. T. Wider- man, Rev. O. A. Brown, Rev. C. W. Bald- win, Rev. S. M. Hartsock, Rev. C. L. Pate, Rev. Mr. Osburne and Rev. Mr. Brian. The opening address was made by Rev. Dr. O.A.Brown, pastor of Foundry Church, who in a few words spoke of the need of Preparation for active Christian service and exhorted his audience of young people to more earnest and consecrated endeavor. He then introduced Bishop Taylor, who for more than a half century has proclaimed the Gospel throughout the world. He is u native Virginian, and early in the forties was a member of the Baltimore conference. At the time of the gold fever in California he went to that state and for seven years preached in the streets and among the places frequented by the miners. He went to South Africa about thirty years ago and has labored there and in India and South America. The bishop spoke briefly of the Epworth League as an excellent medium for work, and after giving some account of his own life and experiences he said that in Africa there would be testimony meet- ings, at which sometimes quite a hundred people would be all anxious to bear testi- mony to the power of the Gospel. Bishop Taylor asked those before him to testify of their personal experiences, and amid an impressive silence one and another and an- other arose in different parts of the house and gave their testimony, after which the bishop led the vast audience in a fervid prayer of consecration, which, with the doxology and benediction, brought the ser- vice to a close. At most of the Methodist churches yes- terday the pastors preached sermons es- pecially for the young people and in the in- terests of the Epworth League. There was generally circulated among the Leaguers yesterday a pamphlet setting forth the plan which originated with the board of control of the Epworth League at its meeting in St. Louis in May, 1801, urg- ing the members to contribute $1 each toward building an Epworth League hall one of the buildings of the American Un! versity. It is believed that should every member of the Epworth League in this country subscribe $1 toward the fund the total sum would te sufficient not only to erect a magnificent memorial to the young people's society, but to give it a handsome endowment. The plan has already been put into execution, and many chapters and unions throughout the country have sent in subscriptiors. To every subscriber is given a certificate, handsomely engraved, and signed by Bishop Hurst, the chancellor of the university, and other officers, and to which is attached the seal of the uni- versity. Officern Elected. At the session Saturday night of the Dis- trict Epworth League W. B. Matthews of Foundry was re-elected president of the league and F. T. Israel of McKendree was re-elected secretary. T. J. Clark of Doug- las was chosen first vice president; second vice president, Mrs. M. M. Mitchell, Waugh; third vice president, Mrs. H. B.

Austin, North Capitol; superintendent junior lezgue, Miss Estelle Crump, Gor- such; delegates to Anti-Saloon League con- vention, Rev. Dr. L. B. Wilson and Presi- dent W. B. Matthews. SS The Church Loses, In the Probate Court Judge Bradley Sat- urday afternoon signed an order, in the matter of the estate of the late Anna M. Maulsby, denying the application of the vestry of St. John’s Episcopal Church for a reopening of the matter of the probating of the will, that a certain written instru- ment might be made part of the will. The deceased left two wills, and in the {rst one, made in 1886, the testatrix referred to a certain written instrument, by which her legatees should be governed. A subsequent will being produced, however, the later one was admitted to probate. To this later will was attached three codicils, cne of them making provision for the esiablishment of a newsboys’ home, to be known as the George Maulsby Home, which has been es- tablished at 3d and C streets. The written instrument referred to was not made part of the will admitted to probate, the vestry of St. John’s Church having, it is said, had no notice of their interest in the es. tate. By this written instrument, the ves- try claim, provision was «nade for the es- tablishment of a home for aged women, and the vestry, it is claimed,were intrusted with the management of the proposed home, the sum of $35,000 being set apart for a site on Kalorama Heights, and the sum of $45,000 being set apart for its maintenance. It is understood that the vestry will appeal from Judge Bradley's decision to the Court of ‘Appeals.

SOME POLITICAL GOSSIP The nineteenth annual convention of the General Assembly, Knights of Labor, will be called to order tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, at the headquarters of District As- sembly No. 66, at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and 4% street. The order of Knights. of Labor has been in existence twenty-six years, but during the early days of the or- ganization the general prejudice against it was looked upon as so great that its mem- bers did not wish to jeopardize their employ- ment by acknowledging their attachment to it by attending a convention, although such convention might be held with closed doors. This morning sixty-eight delegates or al- ternates to the convention had arrived in the city, according to the information re- ceived at the headquarters of the Knights of Labor, and about twenty more members were expected. The sessions of the con- vention will last about ten days, and will be guarded by the utmost secrecy, not even Knights of Labor, other than the delegates or alternates, to be allowed admission to the hall during the sessions. A Possible Political Effect. The Knights of Labor have always figured Frominently in politics, and one of the im- Portant subjects to be discussed during the cofhing convention will be the attitude of members of the order toward political parties during the next nalional campaign. ‘The knights have generally voted for popu- list candidates, but there has been a feeling in the order that the populists should recog- nize the order more than it has in the past. While the populists have embodied many of the principles of the knights in their plat- form, the latter think that this recognition should go farther. and the convention will probably take action in regard to the exact recognition that should be given the knights in the platform of the populists, in view of the voting strength of that organization in the national campaign. A grand reception is to be tendered the delegates to te convention at the Builders’ Exchange on next Saturday, from 7 to 8:20 o'clock. On that occasion addresses will be made by prominent knights and refresh- ments will be served. Members of all local labor organizations and their families will be welcomed at this reception. Among the committees to be engaged in the work of tha convention are the fol- lowing: Credentials—J. S. Schonfaber, D. A. 41, Baltimore, chairman; Edward J. Lindholm, 2 A. 9, Chicago; J. H. Lester, D. A. 145, ex: Law—Thomas J. O'Reily, D. A. 220,Brook- lyn;'-M. T. Judge, D. A. 22, Alabama; J. H. Bates, D. A. 103, New Brunswick, N. J.; H. B. McCracken, D. A. 253, Building Con- structors, New York: J. R. Robertson, State Assembly, Arkansas. Finance—H. J. Allen, Michigan, chairman; Joseph R. Mansion, D. A. 147, New York; R. J. Kerrigan, Montreal, Canada; A. J. Zoller, D. A. 197, Jersey City; J. J. Rief- graben, D. A. 4, St. Louis, Mo. Master Workman Sovereign Satisfied. James R. Sovereign, the general master werkman of the order, is in the city, and is busily engaged attending to committee work. Mr. Sovereign when seen by a Star repcrter today expressed himself as well pleased with the progress the Knights of Labor are making. He remarked that the outlock for the order was never brighter than it is now, and that the increase of membership, in spite of the hard times, is exceedingly gratifying to him. “When. wages are cut down or great bedies of men are thrown out of work,” said Mr. Sovereign, “their inability to keep up their dues causes a large falling off in our membership. But our membership and growth at present are perfectly satisfac- tory.” After the first day of the convention meetings will probably b2 held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, with an hour's recess for dinner, the evenings to be devoted to com- mittee work. The Hotel Vendome, corner Pennsylvania avenue and 3d street, is the headquarters of the visiting knights, al- though a number of the delegates are ac- commodated in private families in all parts of the city. ——— .
