Interesting Addresses in Regard to Central Union Mission and Salvation Anny Work. There was only standing room last night in Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church on the occasion of the regular monthly mass meeting of the District of Columbia Chris- tan Endeavor Union. The mecting was something out of the ordinary and the an- nouncement that representatives of the Central Union Mission and the Salvation Army would speak brought out a number of persons interested in city missions, though not directly connected with Chris- tan Endeavor societies. The subject of the meeting was “Evangelism.” A service of song was held for a quarter of an nour preceding the exercises of the prozram, under the direction of Percy S. Foster, Mrs. Frank Byram acting as organ- ist. Deyotional exercises were condueted by Miles M. Shand, president of the District Union, after ich he read the joint reso- lution authorizing the use of the White Lot amd Monument grounds for the pur- peses of the convention in July, which re- cently passed Congr ing voice, and was signed by the President Thursa a demonstration of approval as Mr. Shand announced the fact of the President’s signature. ; Central Union Mission Work. . Dr. Isaac W. Canter, pastor of Mt. Vernon Church, delivered a brief address of welcome, followed by Rey. E. D. Bailey of the Central Union Mission, who has had a large experience in evangelistic work and Was well qualified to speak on the subject of the evening. He said the Central Union sion was the representative of all the hes of the city, in which all had a and he recognized in his audience Who belonged to the ranks of its This is an age of religious activity and he said. “The Christian are more zealous now than ever before in their efforis to propagate the principles of Christianity. This is empha- sized by the establishment of evangelical issions in the larger cities of the country view of reaching, by personal con- people who, from indifference and other caus do not attend the churches.” He briefly sketched the history of the mis- sion in this city during the eleven years of it tence, and spoke of !ts steady growth, until it has now come te be considered as the model institution of its kind in the country. It started out with the idea not to restrict its work to any one class of persons, but, whether rich or poor, white or black, from the worst crinsinal to the educated, it ex- tended its sympathy and influence to all who came. Nor it avoided work in what are called in other cities ihe slums, he said.

The Novel and Enjoyable Entertain- ment of the Columbias, “A Night in Bohemia” was given by t Columbia Athletic lub last evening in honor of the ladies who assisted at the re- cent carnival given hy that organization. The treat was a raré-one and was heartily enjoyed by a large number of people, the Specialties, musical numbers and collation which was served being exceptionally good. The gymnasium was cleared and chairs were placed at small tables for the use of the guests. The members of the club act- ed as waiters and saw that no one lacked anything that was down on the program. The committee in charge consisted of Dr. W. R.King, chairman; Alexander P. Shaw, G. M. Fague, jr Hart Brittain and L. 8. Fisher. The idea of a smoker was hit upon after many expedients had been discussed as a means of paying cif the debt which the members of the club owed to the la- dies who assisted at the carnival, and last nighi’s event was the most successful of its kind ever held in the club house. The pregram was carried through at the end of the gymnasium hall, and was listen- ed to with marked attention and apprecia- tion. Haley’s orchestra rendered _ selec- tions at intervals and later in the evening its leader, Mr. Will Haley, gave an excei- lent musical specialty act. Mr. R. 8.

How re made can be figured cut from the play, which is given below. It may be stated in brief, however, that in the first the short Suit game was in a re responsible for America’s loss, while in the second case a fourth best lead from ace, queen and four others (plain suit and weak trumps) was mainly instru- mental in St. Paul’s gain.
