SS A BAPTIST BANQUET Members of the Social Uniow'’ Gather Around the Board.~ Considering Means for Promoting Church Interests — Addréases” ty President Woodward and Others. ~ Notwithstanding the heavy downfall of rain last night, there was a large-gather- ing at the annual banquet of the Baptist Social Union, held In the Sunday school room of the E Street Baptist Church. The large room was brilliantly lighted and the table decorations were exquisite. Bunches of carnations and potted fers were dotted about the banquet table, while in one cor- ner of the room.a string band furaished sweet music. The union has a substantial membership of representative workers, and about seventy-five of them were pres- ent at the banquet. Shea The officers of the union for the present year are: President, 3. W. Woodward, Cal- vary Church; vice presidents, O, T. Mason, First Church; F. A. Roderick, E Street Church; secretary, D. 8. Foster, Calvary Chureh; treasurer, L. D. Lodge, First Church; directors, J. J. Darlington, Fitth Uhureb; F. 8. Deland, E Street Church R H. Martin, First Church; £d. Tren, Metropolitan Church; W. A. Henderson, Second Church; C. H. Warren, Brookland Church; E. T. Fenwick, E Street Church; auditors, C. A. Muddiman, Kendall: Ghapei Church; Jas. B. Bailey, Fifth Church. The early part of the evening’ was spent | in a social way, there being no set pro- gram. It was nearly 9 o'clock wheh *those | present sat down to enjoy the banquet. The menu consisted of oysters,’ Frerich peas, roast turkey and cranberry sauce, chicken salad, celery, beef tongue, potato salad, fruit, ice cream and coffee, , The Opening Address. President Woodward made a’ short ad- dress, in which he referred to the growth of the Baptist churches in the District, and told something of the work of the So- celal Union. So far as he was concerned, he thought there should be a change in the by-laws of the union, whereby its’ member- | ship could be largely increased, so that the various churches would recognize the good results achieved, and would be anxious to entertain-the union. He spoke of the idea which seemed to prevail in some localities that a minister should be employed to preach a certain number of sermons, and should be held ictly to the contract. But the union had discussed this question, and had concluded that it would be better for the churches if they could send their pastors away; let them exchange for a Sunday with pastors from other cities. “Washington,” he said, “is the greatest city in this country, and the best one in which to live, and I know that ministers from other places would be only too glad to come here occasionally Rev. J. J. Muir, pastor of the E Streat Church, welcomed the members of the union to his church, and said he was glad that the union had concluded to meet with the members of the church of which he is pastor. “But.”” said the pastor, “I hope the time is not far distant when we will be able to invite you to a place where you will have better accommodations. I mean our new church at 10th and N streets.” E Street Church History. “E Street Baptist Church” was the sub- ject of remarks by Mr. S. M. Yeatman. He gave an interesting history of the church from its organization, more than fifty years ago, when services were held in the 'y hall, to the present time, and included the arrangements that have been made for the erection of the new church at 10th and N streets. Part of his information, he said, Was obtained from the minutes of the laic Deacon Rothwell, who was one of the most earnest workers the church had. The president refrred to Washington as the great center of religious and educa- tional institutions, and introduced Profes- sor L. D. Lodge as a representative of one of the institutions, and he discoursed at length upon the “Poetry of Common Life.” Representative Ellis’ Talk. Representative Ellis was next called upon to speak of his observations on the Pacific coast, and in a witty speech he told of the growth of the west, where he said the over- flew of eastern population must eventually so. He also told of the church work that had been done in his state, and of the pro- gress that is being made. - - The remark made by the President about Ww »gton, he said, had made an impres- sion on him. “I don't feel that the city Is ‘your city,’ but that it is ‘our city,’ he said, “and T look to it with as much pride as any of you, and when anything is done for the city I feel that it !s glorifying to the whole id not to the inhabitants of the ci : z The speaker told of the vast amount of territory in his state, where there is an average of sixty acres to each inhabitant @ where land is soid by, the mile and not the foot. In some sections there is THE GIRL OF THE FUTURE. Mrs. Havens’ Lecture Before Colored _’ ‘High School Students. -The hall of the M Street High School was packed yesterday afternoon to listen t6 the ‘lecture of Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens on “The Girl of the Future.” There were six hundred students of the school present, besides all the teachers of the | building, a large delegation from Howard University and a number of ladies from the outsidé, including Mrs. Grimke and Mrs. Frederick Douglass. The lecture was under the auspices of the “Woman’s League,” of which Mrs. John F. Cook is president; but she was de- tained at home by illness. The lecturer was introduced by Prof. Cardoza, princi- pal of the High School, and the salient points of the address were greeted with generous applause. ‘The ‘girl’ has been so revise@ and im- proved since her first appearance that she is hardly recognizable. Among the things the ‘girl of the future’ will not do are named the following: “She will not aspire to belong to the four hundred, but to the sixty million—to all the struggling sisterhood of the world. She ‘wil not constitute herself a judge and jury, to condemn women whose frailties happen to be on other lines than her own, but will revere her own sex, and uphold the fair name of any woman with righteous earn- estness. She will not give her money to colleges for boys where girls are not ad- mitted, nor contribute to build monuments to men who spent thelr 1 lives in eos and contempt of women. le will not perm her dainty aothing to ds the werk of the sweeper. She will never be led through the streets by a dog, unless she is blind. Wherever a crowd stands in a line to be served, as at a gas office, a tax collector's or an elevator, she will not expect an ad- vanced place in the line because she is a woman; for the more she believes in wo- man’s rights the more she will believe in men's rights also. She will not talk about her colds and headaches and rheumatisms, exfépt to her physician. She will not wear the startled ears of a jack rabbit upon her theater bonnet. She will not be a four- teen-hour wife to an eight-hour husband. She will not walk, with other girls of the future, four abreast upon the sidewalk, compelling business men, intent and hur- ried, to turn out into the street or go up in a balloon to get around them.” And so the speaker went on, suggesting, in a humorous way, the faults of the girls of the present, by comparison with her ideally strong and wholesome “girl of the future.” —_—>__—__ FOR THE INDIAN. Mecting of the Women’s Auxillary of the Indian Rights Association. The Washington auxiliary of the Wo- man’s National Indian Assoctlation held its annual meeting yesterday in the parlors of the Ebbitt. Mrs. Brackett, the president, being absent, Mrs. Wilkinson presided. Mrs. Alexander acted as corresponding sec- retary and Mrs. Craighead as secretary. Mr. I, E. Leupp, agent of the Indian Rights Association, read an address on the condi- tion and progress of reforms in Indian control, and urged.the passage of the Tel- ler bill providing for a reorganization of the Indian bureau. Mrs. Capt. Beck spoke of the difficulties arising from the recent allotment of lands among the Omahas, and said the trouble arose’ from unprinci- bled white men who want the best lands. Rosalie La Flesche Fairleigh, an Omaha, told of some of the wrongs done her peo- ple. The association, by vote, approved the policy of refusing ppropriations . to sectarian schools among the Indians. The treasurer's report showed $134 raised dur- ing the year for work among Indians. Mrs. Wilkinson was elected to a life member- ship, and Mrs. Mackay-Smith was made @ patron of the association. —_—— Denth of Edward Allen, Mr. Edward Allen, who was well known as a clerk in the War Department, and as an officer in,the National Guard, died at his residence, 237 10th street northeast, yes- terday afternoon, after a lingering illness. Mr. Allen was a native of Norwalk, Conn., and came to this city twelve years ago as a clerk in the surgeon general's ofilee, War Department. He was transferred | from there to the secretary's office, filling for a number of years the responsible position of custodian in the supply division. He re- signed his position in the War Department to go to California, seeking the restoration of his health, and returned to this city sev- eral months ago. He was prominently identified with the National Guard since Iss, enlisting as a private in company A, sixth, battalion, passing through the grades of non-commissioned officer, becoming ser- geant-major and then adjutant of the fourth battalion. He was considered cne of the most able and zealous ofticers in the guard, and was highly esteemed by his su- periors in the War Department for the effi- ncy with which he filled his position. His death will be sincerely mourned by his large circle of friends. He was a member of Hiram Lodge, No. 10, F. A. A. M., and Hiram R. A. Chapter, No. 10, and his fu- neral, on Sunday next at 3 ‘o'clock p.m. will be under the charge of Hiram Lodge. ‘The Officers’ Association of the Second Regiment, D. C. N.

About three years ago Alfred Ela of Bos- not a church within twenty-five miles of a neighborhood, but religious gatherings are held in houses and itinerant ministers are always welcomed. Then he gave the young ladies some advice- concerning’ re-' ports of the number of men in the west who want wives. “There are lo: he said, “but | I would net ad € you to rush out there and pluck the first one you come across. When you conclude to go on such a mis- sion I will give you good advice freely and gratuitously.” r Prof. O. ‘T. Mason concluded the even- ing’s remarks “by telling of the uses of in denominational work...In the ‘e of his remarks he told of the pre- gress of the work in Baptist churches here, ard said that the church membership had gone ahead of the increase in population. Half the history of the Baptist denomin: tioa’of this city, he said, was destroyed in the Philadelphia fire. The Guests.

They replied t had properly administered the esta’ an that it had been settled nearly thirty years ago. Mr. Ela renewed his motion recertuy, and yesterday afternoon it was heard by Judge Hagner in the Probate Court. The court was inclined to dismiss the case, but finally decided to withhold action for two weeks, in order to allow Mr. Ela to sub- mit further testimony, as he claimed- he would be able to do. —__-+—_ Class of °98 Wins the Cup.

Wakdis Lecture Be- fore the National Gepgraphic Socicty. Lespite the very «reas 1a. weather, Metzerott Hali was well‘filled last evening, the occasion’ being tve fher:e2aii lect the course of semimonthly Fri y lectures of the Natlotial, Geographic BSo- ciety, Mrs. Fanaie B. Ward, the well- known correspondent, ‘being the lecturer. Her subject was “Narraitiva of Two Years’ Travel in and Around Séuth America,” il- lustrated by innumerabi& reproductions of places visited by her. Wufortunately, Mrs. Ward was suffering fnam a severe cold, and, as explained by Gen. 1. W. Greely, who introduced the lecturer, had ventured out against the advice et her physician. All were delighted with ithe scenes she had visited, as they were thrown upon a great screen back of her. Mra.’ Ward spoke for about an hour, and rapidly and eloquently described the places she had visited, start- ing in at Aspinwall and closing at Santiago. In the South American countries In many instances, she explained, all the modern inventions were found in use in the cities, while in the rural sections the people up- peared to be two hundred or more years behind the age. In such a trip as she had taken, she remarked that the grandest scenery in the universe was met, beyond the word of man to picture. No more de- lightful sea voyage could be taken than that down the western coast of South America, and it was a sad reflection upon American enterprise, she thought, that this country had permitted the English to ob- tain complete control of navigation there. The hope was generally expressed that she will repeat the lecture. ——.—__ Another Statue Proposed. To the Edltor of The Evening Star: Referring to the recent address of Mr. Linton and the protest of a body of Illinois citizens against the reception by the gov- ernment of the Pere Marquette statue, do- nated by the grateful people of the state of Wisconsin, permit me to suggest that our far-western citizens should obtain and present a life-like statue of the Rev. Dr. Whitman in his clerical costume, who, by his four-thousand-mile journey on horse- back during the wintry season away back in the forties, saved to this government all that vast territory, and thereby added five stars to our flag. I am quite sure our Catholic citizens would not object. W. F. W. ———__ Sons of Veterans Elect Officers.
