Mr. Baer accompanied by his wife, who took advantage of the opportunity to see Ww ston in its spring beauty. The program of exercises to be out during the convention ranged in Boston by a comm and trustees of the general society. The prozram has now passed the stage of bare outlines. The subjects to be discussed, and in many instances the speakers who will deliver addresses, have been decided upon. In speaking about the program to a Star reporter, Mr. Baer said that a number of new features had been introduced this year. “For instance,” he said, “it is pro- po: to give three’ Mlustrated lectures Wednesday evening, at the time of the pre- liminary services which are to be held in twenty-two churches. These lectures will be upon missionary topics. The subject of one will be ‘Armenia;” another, “China and Japan” and the third, - “It is proposed, also,” said Mr. Baer, “to make more of the musie at this convention than has ever heretofore been done. I have had a talk with Mr. Clark, chairman of the music committee, and I find that his arrangements. for the choir are well ad- vanced and full of promise. It has been de- cided that at every service the chorus shall render a set plece of some character, he- sides assisting in the regular musical’ pro- gram by leading in the congregational singing. For Citizens. “Another novelty which we have ar- ranged for this convention is in the form of citizens’ meetings. We intend to make a feature of such services and evangelistic meetings all over the city. Naturally, at Washington considerable attention would be devoted to the subject of citizenship; but, in addition to such a reason, we pro- pose to make evangelistic meetings and ices for the tizens of Washington fally prominent. We have therefore arranged for a special citizens’ service Sat- evening of convention week. The ndeéavorers themselves will at that time be in attendance upon their state recep- tious, which will be held at the various state headquarters in the churches. The tents will be thrown open for those other than Endeavorers for a service for their | especial benefit. We have arranged to have some of our finest speakers make addresses on this occasion, and expiain to those un- familiar with them the principles of Chris- tian Endeavor, what it stands for and what it seeks to accomplish “We have also received assurances from B. Fay Mis and Rev. J. Wilbur an and other well-known evangelists t they will attend the convention and Re Chap: tha lead al meetings, and we intend to give W ington’s residents, as well as the delegates, an opportunity to hear them. ‘The jeavorers will have nothing about which to complain in these arrangements. They will have their convention, as usual; these other meetings for citizens are ar- ranged in addition to the peculiar benefit of Washingtonians. The World’s Union. “Several ucvelties will be introduced the line of junior work,” continued Mr. Baer, “and in addition, Washington will have the honor of being the meeting place of the first triennial convention of the World’s Christian Endeavor Union. This was organized last year in Boston. It Is to hold iis sessions every three years in connection with some annual convention of a national organization of Christian En- deavor. This will be the first of its regu- jar conventions. There will be representa- tives from twelve or fifteen countries pres- ent. It’s next testing place has not yet been decided upon; it may be in England, or in Australia or in one of the eastern countries.” Praising the Committees. Mr. Baer is unsparing in his commenda- tion of the ability and fidelity of the mem- bers of the ccmmittee of 96 and the ad- vanced State of the preparations for the coming gathering of scores of thousands from all parts of the globe. When asked how he found conditions here, he replied: “I can truthfully say that never, in my experience with preliminary convention committees, have I seen the arrangements so well in hand as they are today in Wash- ington. The committee is doing excellently. I was amazed when I went into the meet- ing Friday night in the New York avenue Presbyterian Church. They told me there was to be a meeting of the central com- mittees of the convention bodies, whica number about 450 persons. As I walked from the hotel I thougat that as the con- vention is yet three months in the future and the evening was exceedingly hot, it would be commendable if one hundred per- sons were present. I wa3 astonished to see the lecture room crowded and to learn that More than three hundred members of the committees were present. “I wish your citizens could realize the self-sacrifice of the members of the com- mittee of 96 and other faithful workers, and the great amount of hard work they do without any remuneration. When I see the force of stenographers and typewriters constantly at work at headquarters, and am told that the immense amount of cler- ical work required in the preparations is done absolutely without expense to the committee, I am amazel. The people of Washington ought to know that the twelve members of the '96 committee, as well as many others, give three and four hours Gaily to the work of preparation for the convention in addition to the time devoted to their regular occupations.” The meeting. at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church of all the central committee and the aids of the auxiliary committees which are preparing for the convention was one of enthusiastic inter- est. There was every manifestation of de- votedness, determination to faithful effort, and a conscientious endeavor on the part of each one present to do his whole duty. The siaging was hearty, enth istic and inspiriting, only in volume ycuid it suffer in” comparison with the singing at dne of the great convention ga:heriags. oquent ad- dresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. Hamlin: Rev. Dr. Newman and Secretary Baer, and the closing feature was a solemn consecra- tion and pledge of loyalty on the part of all those upon whom the burdens of prepa- ration and entertainment wili fall. —__ AMUSEMENTS. Band Concert at Allen’s.—The third con- cert of Director Will A. Haley's Military Band, given last evening In Allen’s Grand Opera House, was attended by an audience larger in numbers than at either of the pre- vious concerts, and one which could not fail to display enthusiasm, although handi- capped by the heat. Perhaps the feature of the evening was the soprano solo by Miss Mary Helen Howe, who sang the bolero trom the “Sicilian Vespers,” with band accompaniment, and received an emphatic encore. One of the secrets of the success of the band is the happy faculty possessed by Mr. Haley in choosing his selections and the prompt and untiring practice of respond- ing to encores. Mr. Haley also realizes that Sousa’s music is a necessity for the people of Washing! and four of the “march king's” compositions were included in the list of extra numbers last evening. During the rendition of the comic tattoo, when the band had left the stage, Mr. Haley took ad- vantage of the occasion to give a flute solo, With piano accompaniment by Mr. Henry Xander, the work of both being in their usual faultless style. The novel effects of a number of red-shirted firemen beating the anvils in the “Trovatcre’ selection was greatly appreciated and promptly recog- nized by the audience. The concert was brought to a close with “America’s National Anthem,” composed by Tregina and Trainor, introducing a large chorus. The effect of this number was not as good as it might have been, owing to the singers’ position, but the beauty of the theme and the adapt: atsiity of words and music were fully demonstrated. The Oratorio of * Elijah."—The soloists who are to appear with the Choral Soc pty in its rend:tion of Mendelssohn's “Elijah,” at Allen’s Grand Opera House Friday even- ing next, are fully qualified to give an in- telligent and pleasing conception of the d ferent characters in the famous orator!o and mak> up one of the finest quartets that has been heard here in this notable work. The soprano is Miss Eleanor Mere- dith, who has won golden opinions from the press of Boston and New York for her work in much harder parts than the one to which she is assigned in the “Elijah.” She possesses a. soprano organ of great purity and flexibility, and her stage pres- ence {s one that charms the audience even before she is heard. The contralto is Eila Cleveland Fendersen of Boston, who is one of the finest oratorio contraltos to be found. Mr. D. G. Henderson, tenor, and Ericsson Bushnell, bass, are the other members of the quartet, the latter having heen heard here a number of times. The quartet work in the “Elijah” is magnificent, and the art- ists who have been engaged are f. able to cope with it in every detail. The “Elijah” is not new to Washington, and the reputa- tion of the Choral Society is such that it will surely attract a crowded house to the con- cert Friday evening. University Extension Course of Lectures. “Giotto and the Golden Age of Florence” will be the subject of the second lecture of the University Extension course, delivered tomorrow afternoon at 4:15 at Metzerott Music Hall by W. Hudson Sha The tap- estries which will be on ibition tomorrow will be three of the “Judith and Holofernes” series, out of Mr. Chas. Ffoulke’s collection, and will attract a number of art lovers. The lecture tomorrow afternoon is one of the most interesting and pleasing of the cours: and splendid illustrations will be used to de. lineate the different points made by the lec- turer. > DEATH OF MR. GEORGE BANCROFT, He Wax a Popular Teacher of Songs for Forty Yerrs of His Life. George Bancroft, who died in this city Thursday, at the age of seventy-nine, was a professor of music for nearly forty years. Thousands of his old pupils scattered in all parts of the earth will read of his death with regret, and looking back to childhood, remember how his beaming, kindly face entered the school room, and his rich voice led them in their first efforts at song. He was a native of Halifax, and came to the United States in 1842, when twenty-five years old. For ten years he was in charge of music in the public schools of Utica, N. ¥. He held this position during the war, and entered most enthusiastically into the task cf teaching the children the many war songs of that period, which con- tributed largely to arousing patriotic feel- ing. Coming to Washington in 1867, he was a clerk in the Treasury Department for five years, after which he. opened an office for pension claims. He was a mem- ber of E Street baptist Church and chair- man of its music committee. Mr. Bancroft leaves a widow and a daughter, Mrs. M. A. Johnson. Mr. Bancroft was especially fond of little children, and was never happier than when teaching them new and preity songs which pleased them. a 1060 ft. boards for one dollar, best lumber. F.

TRADESMAN. —— His Arm Cat. Yesterday morning about 12:30 o'clock John Williams and Jehn Fisher, both col- ored, engaged in an altercation in an alley near 15th and T streets. The result was that Williams’ left arm was so painfully cut that the police had to send him to Freedman’s Hospital for treatment. —-—-__- i Overcome by the Heat. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon W. C. Campbell of No. 916 15th street was overcome by the heat.

Announcement That thé May Contests Are to Be Permnnent. The announcement that dhe Military In- terstate Association of Savannah, which is to give the interstate drill, May 11 to 16, contemplates the establishment of a per- manent “May week” for thessoldiery of the uation is of decided interest.) In connection with the enterprise, in whith the District will be represented by thé Morton Cadets and the Mount Pleasant Field Band, the association says: “A most generous responseshas come from all the citizens of Savannah in way of subscriptions, and from military bodies all over the country, agreeing ito take part in the contests. It is a littlesearly to predict just how many officers ahd men will be reviewed by the governor tof Georgia May 13, but it is safe to say that it will be the handsomest and most interesting spectacle ever presented to our people, who are de- servedly proud of their soldiers of history, as Well as their soldiers of peace. ‘The military festival that has been ar- ranged for at Savannah has a peculiar in- terest to every citizen of the republic, for it marks the institution of an annual gather- ing from all sections, to compete for prizes and trophies In soldierly contests. “European critics have often noted the absence in the states of such events as those of Aldershot, England, and the an- nual maneuvers of the French and German armies,and in a measure base their calcula- fons of our military strength upon this act. “While it is true that the profession of arms has not the significance it has in other countries, it cannot be denied that the United States stands today as one of the leading nations of the earth in a mili- tary sense. This could not be demonstrated by our small standing army or our coast fortifications, but if one were to call the muster roll of the citizen soldiery and the military clubs, he would find, could all the members answer to the call, and pass in review, that we could turn out one of the finest armies the world has ever seen. “The great park extension, or ‘Champs de Mars,’ at Savannah, fs already being fenced in, and scores of busy men and hustling agents are at work, both north and south, to insure an overwhelming success.” —— ee Discrimination Against G To the Editor of The Evening Star: In The Star's report of the last hearing of the Senate committee relative to ‘cheaper gas” Mr. Winship of the Georgetown Gas Light Company makes the statement that the citizens of Georgetown are perfectly satisfied, both with the price and quality of the gas furnished by his company. Of the quality we will say nothing. But it is amus- ing to hear a man in his sober senses make the statement. That we of Georgetown are perfectly satisfied to pay $1.75 per 1,000 feet for gas, while our neighbors on the east side of Rock creek are required to pay but $1.50 for practically the same gas. It is most too ridiculously absurd to consider at all, and yet it should not go unchallenged. As to his statement relative to cost of the manufac- ture of the gas I am not prepared to dispute. But that it costs more to produce gas in Georgetown than in W: hington does seem unreasonable. Granted their volume of busi- ness is less. Bat we are not responsible for that. The green grocer at the corner is not permitted to charge more for his than the great stores on the main streets of a city, simply because his business is less pretentious. However, I take issue chiefly on the first statement quoted, and I venture to assert that I voice the sense of the Georgetown citizens when.I enter protest against there being any concessions made to the Georgetown company; to their disad- vantage over the Washington citizen, and I hope The Star will vigorously protest against any iminatinfg. legislation.

William Colbert, alias Johnson, an elderly colored man, was sentenced Saturday by Judge Cole to five years in the Albany pent- tentiary at hard labor for violating the pen- sion laws. The man claimed to have served during the war as Johnson, and filed an application for a pension. It was shown during the trial several days ago that the claim was a false one, and he was promptly convicted. It was also developed during the trial that the man served a term In the penitentiary several years ago for a similar offense. Judge Cole, therefore, imposed the maxi- mum penalty. —_—.___ Infant's Body Found. Saturday afternoon the dead body of a colored infant was found in an alley near jth and H streets northeast.
