Enthusiasm Everywhere and a Large Attendance Assured—The Program of the Arrangements. ‘Two general canvasses of the city are in Progress or contemplation by the local com- mittees engaged in preparing for the fif- teenth International Christian Endeavor convention in July. One, which is already being conducted with vigor, is that in charge of the entertainment committee, Whose members are goirg from house to house in seerch of accommedations for the 60,000 or more delegates and visitors to the city while the convention is in session. By the entertainment committee the elty has been divided into eleven sections, each in charge of a member of the central com- mittee. The second canvass Is just about to begin under the auspices of the finance commit- tee, but unlike the entertainment commit- tee, the money seekers will visit only the business houses. It is proposed that the work shall be done systematically and thor- eughly, and it fs expected that the results will show the wisdom of taking such action. For its purposes, the finance committee has divided the city into ten districts, as fol- : 1, Georgetown, in charge of George A. Bire all west of 15th street, A. S. Taylor: 3, h to 15th streets, Jerome }. Jchnson: 4, {th to 12th streets, W. IH. Aspinwall; 5, 6th to 9th streets, Rufus DP. Clarke; 6, Ist to 6th streets, E. Hilton Jackson; 7, Pennsylvania avenue south to the mall, John Mitchell, jr.; 8, South Wash- irgton, George E. Barber; 9, northeast, Rey. C. H. Butler; 10, southeast, George P. Bohrer. ‘The finance committee has also dlstrib- uted subscription cards to the four sections of the convention chorus, with the request that each member secure if possible at least one subscriber. It is hoped that the singers will be diligent in their efforts to aid the finance committee, and that through the efforts of the canvassers and the four thousand chorus members the amount of the convention fund can be quickly raised. Enthasiasm Everywhere. Chairman W. H. H. Smith returned yes- rday from a flying trip to Steelton, Pa., where he made an address to the Christian Endeavor Union of that place. He spoke to an audience that packed every corner of the church fn which the meeting was held and gave an outline idea of the organiza- tion of the committees preparing for the convention and the completeness of the ar- rangements being made. He reports the me enthusiastic interest at Steeiton in d_ to convention plans that he has roticed at other large meetings which he has attended. After the close of the pro- reception was given in his honor. B. Bagby, chairman of the recep- tion ttee, left for Montgomery, Ala. late last evening, having accepted an Inv tation to speak at the Alabama state Christian Endeavor convention, which will be held this week. The Ninth Street Chris- tian Church, of which Mr. Bagby is pastor, has been selected as the headquarters for the Aiabama delegation to the July conven- tion here, and Mr. Bagby will improve the oportunity to become acquainted with those whom his church will entertain, and assure them in advance of the welcome awaiting them. He is down on the program to e an address on juntor work, and will also conduct an open parliament on the work of doubt mmittees. Without he will also ton, "! clesing address and conduct the consecra- tion service. A count of enlistment cards actually in d shows that the pr hip ef the convention chorus is ns. Some cards have not yet been returned to rters, so it is probable that the at least 3,1" strong. There to be no doubt that the 4,000 mark ached and perhaps passed. Convention Matters. Chairman Johnson of the excursions ee, together with other memb committee, in charge of arranging for early morning hic fe runs during the convention, made a trip over one of the Pp-oposed routes yesterday morning. through the Soldiers’ Home to Brightwood. The entire run was just a fraction over ten miles, and was accomplished in good sea- son. Last night a meeting of the registration committee was held at Chairman Stowell’s desk in headquarters. A form of re: ra- tior. card was agreed upon. It will contain spaces for the name and home address of the delegate, the deromination to which he or she belongs and the address of the Washington stopping place. From these cards the statistics of the convention will be ascertained, and they will form an accu- rate and convenient directory of the dele- gates during the sessions of the conven- dion. The committee of '% has heen informed that the Woman's National Press Asso- ciation has appointed a committee on cour- to women journalists visiting the city during the convention, and will have open headquarters at the Riggs House uring the se jons. At 19 o'clock all the workers at head- riers gathered in one of the rooms, and f prayer meeting was held. This is iguration of a custom which wiil il from now until the convention. evening there were eleven committee | members and stenographers at work at the hour named above, and all took part in the brief devotional service. Earnest prayers for the convention and for strength ability for the work of preparation were offered. ————— _. Microxcopic Society's Exhibit. The twelfth annual exhibition of the Microscopical Society Tuesday night at the National Rifles’ Hall was, as usual, larg: attended, and many interesting noveltie were shown by the enthusiastic savants and amateurs who are enrolled in the mem- tership of the society. Ranged around the Fall cn small tables were the various ex- hibits, each microscopist standing by to ex plain to visitors the special beauties an peculiarities of the substance shown jn his a a instrunfents. Mr. Doubleday, who 1s wrapt student of microscopy, shuwed live gold fish magnified a hundred time: the object being to derronstrate the clr lation. of the blood in the fins. F. T. Chap man shoved a magnified electric spark, which seemed under the lens to be a lon: purple bolt of light. Many other peculia things were shown, all of which were high- ly interesting to ail present. ee " Among the Wheelmen, The great amount of interest taken In bi- cycling at the Columbia Athletic Club has resulted in a call for a meeting to be held Saturday evening, with a vfew to regularly orgarizing the wheelmen members of tne ciub and appointing road officers. It 1s ex- pected that a club as fully developed as any in the city will be the outcome. Its member- ship will probably be In the neighborhood of one hundred. ‘Those at the head of the movement are J. Hart Brittain, Horace Goodale, Frank Burroughs, Harry Stiles, J. J. Harrington and L. L. Korn. There will be a meeting of the wheelmen of the District this evening at 310 11th street for the purpose of organizing the eyelists of both sexes for their own pro- tection. In addition to this, the matter of giving a grand united trip to Baltimore | Sun June 7, will be further discussed, and reports heard from various committees on the matter. Trouble in Zion. Friends of Zion, No. 1, has filed a bill in equity against the Association of the Friends of Zion, praying that the defend- ants “be enjoined and restrained from barricading, bolting or locking the doors” of premises described as part of original lot square 540, and from receiving or demanding the rents and profits arising therefrom. The complainants also ask that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the same. The complainants, represent- ed by Attorneys Cooksey and Choate, claim that a committee from their association, eppointed in February, S71, exceeded its authority and incorporated the defendant association. The complainant association was incorporated in June, 18), and the [rh is brought to settle the differences which have arisen between the two organi- gations. AMUSEMENTS.

The members of the orchestra number forty artists, and are said to be a remarkably handsome set of men, and rep- resent the truest and oldest blood of the most famous tribe of Tartars of the Rus- sian steppes. They are selected by the czar primarily for their physical appearance, and are afterward trained musically. They are natural-born musicians, and play all the popular music of the day, as well as a carefully selected program of classical numbers. The conductor is Mons. Ivanof Schatoff, bandmaster of the Czar of Rus- sia’s favorite band, stationed at St. Peters- burg, and all are members of a Tartar tribe that have lived for hundreds of years on the steppes of southern Russia.

Prof. Quinn of the Catholic University will show a hun- dred stereopticon views of Greece, accom- panying the pictures by a talk in the very language of Xenophon and Plato. The pic- tures will of themselves be intelligent; but what effect Attic accent will have on his audience is difficult to predict. Many emt- ment linguists think that it is impossible to speak in a dead language, but Dr. Quinn does not think that Greek is dead, nor even Kable to die very soon. ‘Those who wish to hear how Greek may sound when spoken, at the same time enjoying delightful views of that land of myth and history, will have their opportunity tomorro' Prof. Vermilya’s May Carnival.—The an- al grand May carnival and exhibition of ancing by the pupils cf Prof. J.

Charles H. Brown, a colored man, wear- ing blue clothes and brass buttons, the stripes on whose arms Indicate that he Is a sergeant, was before the Police Court today because he got drunk last night and was found asleep on the sidewalk. When he was in the toils a week ago he sai ‘I'm Sergeant Brown from Hampton.” He ex- plained to the court that he was an old soldier, inmate of the Hampton Home, and said, in answer to the court's inquiries, that he came here on a steamboat and not on a leave of absence. Assuring the court that he would go to Hampton that very evening he was released. If he kept his werd he did not remain long, for, as al- ready stated, he was found drunk and asleep on the pavement last night. “Guilty,” was his plea when arraigned this morning, and he stood behind the post in the dock, fearing he would be recognized and perhaps heavily fined. The court recognized him, but as his offense was not a_serious one, the penaity was only $5, or fifteen days. —_—.—__.
