The surrender of the children of the late Wm. H. Slack to their mother, Mary Kem- ble Slack, yesterday afternoon was attend- ed with features both sensational and dis- tressing, the little ones, girls of ten and eight years of age, rebelling against th> mother who had fought for their posses- sion so long, and crying to be taken back te their aunt and testamentery guardian, Mrs. Addie Slack Perrine. In time, how- ever, their chfldisn expostulations and en- treaties gave way to the tearful, pethetic assurances of tleir mother, and for the first time since 184 Mrs. Slack last even- ing enjoyed the absolute possession ef her little ones. In obedience to tie direction of Judge McComas, the children were produced in court promptly at 4:45 yesterday afternoon by Mr. ard Mrs. Perrine, the children be- ing left in the private room. of the judge by them. As their aunt and her husband left them the sobs of the little ones eay:ld plainly be heard, and when their mother, after signing the bond of $10,000 required by Judge McComas, Miss Alice Riggs and Mr. John Quinn becoming her sureties, was told that she might, take her children, those in the court rocm were astonished and distressed to hear the children cry out against her as che entered the room’ where they had been left. “Go away.” they cried, “we want Aunt Addie,” and their childish cries grew louder and harsher. Mrs. Slack’s brother, Mr. Julian Gerard’ Buckley, quickly joined his sister, and with her endeavored to quiet them. But their cries were succeeded .by screams which quickly drew a throng of curious people ‘n the corridors and in the park bout the court house. Judge McComas adjourned the hearing, and after ordering the crowd dispersed, also entered the room where the mother and her children were, as did Mr. Colbert, of Mrs. Slack’s counsel. The cries of the children continued, and one of them darted out of the room and ran down the corridor. Her uncle, Mr. Buckley, quickly caught her and brought her back to her mother, when Mrs. Slack continued her efforts to soothe her children. But for nearly an hour, how- ever, their cries continued, despite their mother’s assurances that they should be allowed to see their aunt, and that. she loved them and would do everything to make them happy. The poor woman was greatly distressed, and remarked that had she been given her children sooner such a scene would never have occurred. Finally, the children were in a measure quieted, nd they were driven by their mother to her brother's home, 1728 P street. There, it is said, the children again gave vent to their grief, but in a short time their mother succeeded in quieting them, and with a little friend they were soon playing in perfect forgetfulness of the absence of their aunt. While Mrs. Slack, as she has invariably done during the long-pending struggle for her children, declined to say anything for publication, Mr. Buckley stated that his sister felt that the action of the Court of Appeals, in giving the children to her, was a sutlicient reply to the cruel accusations made against her by the Perrines. Never- theless, he remarked, the children would be taught to think kindly of their aunt. Their mother, he said, would take them with her to some seaside resort for the summer. Judge Hagner's Decision. Judge Hagner this morning disposed of the suggestion made to him yesterday by counsel for Mrs. Perrine. They suggested that Mrs. Perrine had reason to apprehend that Mrs. Slack, if given the custody of the children, would remove them from the jurisdiction of the court. The judge explained today that after carefully considering the matter, he had arrived at the conclusion that the case was before the Court of Appeals. Therefore, he decided that he could take no action in the matter, whether the apprehension of Mrs. Perrine was well founded or not, a question he, of course, did not decide. — OLEOMARGARI Indicted Parties Will Have to Plead ‘Tomorrow. District Attorney Birney today directed that those parties indicted for violating the oleomargarine laws who have not already been arraigned be required to plead to the indictments before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 1 tomorrow morning. Those who will then be arraigned are: Thos. J. Rout, Frank Deutermann, Wm.H. Meitzler, Andrew J.Kenney, Patrick McDonough,Jos. H.Goodrich, Frank Weigand, Edgar Hogan, Samuel J. Eagan, Jos. P.B. Barber, John L. Gundling, Frank P. Daly, Jas. L. Nash, Geo. W. Shelly, John Halloran, Samuel J. McCaully and Perry B. Ruark. As stated in The Star several days ago, it is the intention of Mr. Birney to try the remaining oleomargarine cases during the present month, the first case to be called up the latter part of this or the first of next week. The cases will be tried before Judge Cole. It is not improbable that some of the parties set down for areaignment to- morrow will plead guilty. For those who- ; do plead guilty Mr. Birney will interpose no objection to light sentences, but he will ask the imposition of severe sentences on those who necessitate trial to determine their guilt. ———> Marriage Licenses.

William Dickson, colored, twenty yearg old, was In the Center Market this morn- ing, it 1s claimed, for purposes which are unlawful, and now he is behind the bars. Detectives Helan and Boyd were also in market, and when the prisoner’s suspicious conduct attracted their attention, they fol- lewed him. Several times the colored man's hand was Jost in the folds of a lady's dress, but he did not succeed in getting her pocketbook. The officers had then followed him quite a distance, and so they arrested him on suspicion. He said he lived in Goat alley, but did not seem to be well ac- quainted with the residents of the alley. Tomorrow he will explain his conduct to Judge Kimball. ———-—_—_ Bids Opened. Bids were opened today at the Commis- stoners’ office for scraping and cleaning Pennsylvania avenue and other streets by hand. The only bidder was Wm. Ryan, $22 per day. Bids were opened also for. cleaning paved alleys, and the only bidder was Albert Daggett, 409-10 cents per: fquare yard, or 10 ptr cent above actual ccst of work. The bidders for cleaning un- paved streets and alleys were M. J. Foley, $67.45 per day; Jas. Frawley, $73 per day; Albert Daggett, 68.85 per day; Horn & Son, $70.80 per day. ——_._—_ For the Firemen’s Families. The proceeds of the recent benefit given at the Lafayette Square Theater for the families of the firemen who lost their lives in the Louisiana avenue fire, have been turned over to the Commiasioners, and will be disbursed under the direction of the Commissioners. Although four benefits were given before this one the people of Washington responded nobly to the appeal for ald, and the sum of $500 was cleared after all expenses had been paid. BEFORE THE JUDGE Old Offenders and New in the Police ‘ Court, One Man Had a Fit When Sentenced— The Other Cases and the Penalties Given, Walter Thomas is a tard-working colored man, who is employed on an ice wagon. He does not live near the wharf, and as he has to get to the wharf about 3 a.m. he started from home about midnight. When he got a transfer at the South Washington Belt line junction the next intersecting car was late coming along, and Walter sat on the curbstone to wait. He soon fell asleep, and when Policeman Kennedy came along he arrested him for obstructing the side- walk. Walter had no funds, and so he was locked up and kept away from his work. “I think he was on the sidewalk sleeping off a drunk,” the officer said to Judge Kim- ball this morning. “I found him there about 1:30 o'clock.” “I wasn’t sleeping off a drunk, Thomas. “I was on my way to wor while waiting for a car I went to slee] “Had you been drinking?” “Not a drep.” “Take his personal bonds.” George Curry and James Robinson were in the procession on charges of vagrancy and suspicion because they were found sleeping in cars in South Washington. “Was there any merchandise in the cars?” the officer was asked. “There was coal and lumber in the car,” was his response. : The. prisoners made no denial of the charge. One of them said he was a printer on his way home from South Carolina, and the other man Is on his way home, having failed to get employment. ’m seedy looking,” he said, ‘and when @ man gets seedy nobody wants to deal with him.” “And where are you going now?” “Home.” “That's the best place for you,” the judge told him. “If a man can’t get work at home he stands a bad chance when he gets among strangers. They were released on their personal bonds. sald and Discharged Himself. Charles Srieb was in the toils because he was found on the streets late at night. Why he should have been arrested for this Srieb did not understand. “I have been here for eighteen months,” he said, “and have been employed at the missio} “Are you employed there now?” “No, sir."* Why were you discharged?” “I discharged myse'f.” The judge gave bim another discharge, for which he was equally gratified. Ella Parker and Malinda Johnson, col- ored wemen, appeared before the court and gave evidence against five colored boys for “crap-shooting.” The women on the dump, who pick cinders, are frequently threatened with violence if they give the police information, but these women were rot frightened, and so they gave straight testimory ugainst John ‘Tolliver, Peter Phillips, George Frogmartin, William Laws and Richard Hewitt. “I wasn't even there,” said fendant; “and,” said another, couldn't’ sce me. Denials were made by all the boys, but the court held them guilty and fined them $10 or thirty days cach. A young man named Bingham Buckley, whose extremely nervous condition was the result of a protracted spree, stood before the court as un hab.tual drunkard. Two policemen toll of the protracted spree on which Buckley had been, and the court thought a month on the farm would do him good. “Judge, please don’t send me down fora month,” said the victim of strong drink. “If I get out of this scrape I'll not drink any more whisky.” “Make it fifteen days," said the court. Buckley-started back, but before he reach- one de- “the police ed the cell he hada fit, and Dr. Ransom | a the health office was called to attend im. Frank W. Johnson admitted that he had been disorderly on the street, and was fined the usual amount. Harry Huddleson said “guilty” when ar- raigned on a charge of obstructing the sidewalk with his person. - “Five dollars,” said the judge, and Harry went down. George Stuart and Wesley D. Wood were in the totls because of alleged indecent conduct, and Judge Kimball gave them thirty days each in default of fine. EXCURSIONS. River View is now one of the most popu- lar of the many excursion resorts about Washington, and the regular personally conducted Wednesday trips to the View are among the most generally attended excursions- of the season. Tomorrow the steamer Pentz will make three fast-flying trips to the View, leaving her wharf here at 10 a.m., 2 and 6:45 p.m., and returning from the View at 12:15, 5, 8 and 10:30 p.m. Stops will be made at Alexandria both go- ing and coming. The new water chute has to date carried over 20,000 persons down the steep incline in safety. But one ac- cident has occurred, and this a slight one, caused by the carelessness of the person hurt, in not holding to the side rails of the boat. The chute and all the nu- merous cther attractions on the grounds will be in full operation, and there will be dancing both day and evening. Those who have not yet “shot the chute” should not fail to do so, and they will have an excel- lent opportunity tomorrow. The sixth annual moonlight excursion of the Crescent Benevolent Association will be given this evening to Marshall Hall on the steamer Charles Macales:cr. The boat will leave at 6:45 o'clock, and from the number of tickets sold, the affair will be a complete success. The morning boats carried down quite a number of those iden- tifled with the association, but it 1s ex- pected that the bulk of the excursionists will take the evening boat. The Confederate Veterans’ Association will give its annual excursion to Marshall Hall tomorrow night. These outings are always enjoyable. They are always well attended, and the utmost of gcod feeling and fun prevails. The tickets for the out- ing will be honored on any of the morn- ing or afternoon boats, and as a great many have been sold in advance, the management of the trip feels gure of the financial end of the affair. The evening boat, the Macalester, will leave at 6:30, and will leave Marshall Hall on the last trip at 11:30. Besides the music and dancing other featyres to entertain the excursion- ists will be provided, and a good time is assured alt those who take the trip. The moon, jalthough in its first quarter, gives sufficient light to make a ride on the water most inviting, and with good weather the outing will prove one of the most enjoy- able of the season. The Janz, Mcseley Coleniai Beach excur- sions will make an exceptionally strong bid for Washington patronage during the present seascn. Nearly ten thousand dol- lars have been recently expended on the Jane Moseley in repairs and luxurious ap- pointments. The results attained place her far in advance of the average excur- sion craft, combining large, spacious hurri- cane decks, magnificently furnished saloon and commodious dancing hall, with new, modern and up-to-date machinery and boil- ers. The progress of Colonial Beach de- mands a high-class and respectable excur- sion steamer, one upon which ladies and children can venture with assurance, one upon which absolute order and decorum prevails at all times, and one upon which the refreshing and exhilarating Potomac breeze can be readily enjoyed. The Jane Moseley fills this long-felt want, andWash- ingtorians will not hesitate to show. their appreciation cf her superior qualities. Ex- cellent meals are served on the boat, and goucet acd dance musio is furnished by ‘rof. Pistorio’s band. The Jane Moseley trips are made from the foot of 6th street daily (except Monday) at 9 a.m. and Sat- urdays at 6 p.m. —____ 100 ft. boards, $1; any length you want. F.

There was another case of a small boy incarcerated in a dark) police cell for an elleged violation of the-bicycle regulations, and punished before trial, brought to the attention of Judge Kimball today. William Putsche, sixteen years old, was the of- fender agairst the law, and Policeman Robertson of the btcycle squad was the officer in the cese. William's parents live at No. 1729 Pennsylvania avenue north- west, and his failure to return home caused them sume uneasiness. What had become of her boy the mother could not imagine. He had net been in the habit of remaining, away from home in this way. So much alarmed was she that she sent for friends, and had them go out and make a search. Scme time after daybreak the boy was found behind the bars in Lieut. Amlss’ police station. But even then the fried of tae family did not have the amount of collateral, and so the boy had to remain behind the bars ‘and ride to court in the prison vehicle, having for his fellow pas- sergers a number of old offenders and habitual violators of the law. When the casé was called before the court. thé boy disputed the truth of the statement of the member of the bicycle savad. The officer said that the boy was racing from the White Lot to 14th street and Pennsylvaria avenue, while the bey sa!d he had declined an inyitation to participate in a race. : " gaid the judge, “is impera- , and this riding at an excessive rate oi speed must be stopped.” Mr. Tabler, the well-known letter car- rier, was in court to look after the in- terests of the boy, and he told the court that the boy’s father did not know where he was. “If you fine the boy,” he said, " have to pay it fpr him.” five dollars,” said the court. ‘This boy was locked up all night,” said Mr. Pugh, the impartial prosecutor. The judge concluded thut his incarcera- tion was suificient punishment, and said he would remit the fine. Five Hours’ Imprisonment. Richard Coleman, a gentlemanly appear- ing colored boy, twelve years old, also arrested by Policeman Robertson, had spent five hours in a police cell because he had been seen riding “hands off.” “Lf only took my hands off while I was buttoning my coat,” was the boy’s excuse. His personal bonds were taken. George Dearborn, about sixteen years old, arrested by Officer Estes of the bicycle squad, was not locked up. He left $5 col- lateral. His excuse was that he was a stranger in the city, having been here only about three months. This the court thought was long enough time for him to understand that coasting about Pennsylvania avenue and 15th street is against the law. He had to pay his fine. Walter A. Summers, a messenger boy, who was reading a telegram while coasting along Pennsylvania avenue, was tried. Judge Kimball oommented on the speed made by messenger boys and took the boy's personal bonds, with a warning that he should not repeat the offense. Tony Brown entered a:plea of guilty to a charge of speeding his bicycle, and the court took his personal“bonds. In the cases of Joseph H. Keane, George Thurston and Clarence Langley the col- laterals were forfeited. t _—— SUNDAY SCHOOL+'CONV! NTION. Delegates From the Colored Churches in Session Surtéay Night. The Sunday school convention, composed of delegates from all the colored Sunday schools in the District.of Columbia, which began Friday evening ‘ast in Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street *between 12th and Sth strects northwest, closed Sunday even- ing with a mass :meeting, which -was at- tended by an audienaewhich filled every part of the building. - The principal addresses were by Rev. I. V. Bryant and W. D. Jarvis, though others made short speeches. The afternoon session was:occupied with the reading of a paper on “Influence of the Teachers’ Meeting Upon the Sunday School,” by Mr. C. R. Atkins. A sermon to “Sunday School Workers” was delivered by Rev. Dr. F. J. Grimke, after which a “superintendents’ hour” was opened by Mr. A. J. Hamilton. Several interesting papers were read dur- ing the Saturday evening session, each of which was highly commended by aeveral speakers. The subjects of the essays were: “Benefits Derived From the International Convention,” by Rev. James Chestnut; “Grading the Sunday School,” by Miss M. L. Jordan; “The Kindergarten Method in the Sunday School,” by-Miss 8. E. Dyson, and ‘How to Increase Membership in the Sunday School,” by Rev. 8. J. R. Nelson. Mr. W. B. Jarvis of Zion Baptist Church and Miss M. R. Bowen of Metropolitan Church were elected delegates, with Mr. J. A. Hamilton of Liberty Baptist Church and Miss M. L. Jordan of Zion Church as al- ternates to the international Sunday echool ecnvention, which meets in Boston, June 23. A resolution was unantmously adapted thanking the press of the city, and es- pecially The Evening Star, for publishing the proceedings of the convention. Saturday afternoon a paper was read on “Mission Work in Sunday Schools” by Miss M. R. Bowen, which, after discussion, was followed by the adoption of a resolution re- questing the superintendent of each colored Sunday school fh the District to appoint three delegates to a convention to be held in the near future for the purpose of cqrry- ing out the suggestions in Miss Bowen's paper, and “The Model Sunday School” was the title of an essay by Dr. C. W. Childs. Good Results. In speaking to a Star reporter of the re- sults of holding the convention, Dr. Frank J. Webb, one of the principal men in the body, and the first to suggest that such a meeting be held, said: “The convention ac- complished wonders from a missionary ahd harmonizing standpoint. 4 “Never before, as far as I can learn—cer- tainly not for forty years—have represen- tatives from the Baptists and Methodists worked together. There was not one dis- orderly scene upon the floor. The remark- ably high character of the delegates was a noticeable feature, as was also the absence of that chronic pest, ‘the colored orator.’ Every delegate seemed actuated by an earmest and friendly spirit. 5 “The good from a missionary and inter- denominational standpoint was best ex- pressed by Rev. 8. G. &émpkin of Cham- plain Avenue Baptist ‘Church, when he said: ‘This is the best, theflargest and most orderly conducted Sungay school conven- tion I ever attended in«the District of Co- ROYAL BAKING POWDER. fe Absolutely Pure. al aah States Government Report.

The benefits of such a work are incalculable. The organizers of such a con- vention are public benefactors.’ “The principal resolution adopted was one which recommended that an executive committee of nine be appointed, with power to call another convention a year hence. The missignary resolution, and one in my opinion calculated to do great good, pro- vided that each Sunday school of the con- yention appoint three missionary workers to labor among the poor Sunday schools and in the alleys and byways of this great city, and report at the next convention. The statistics gathered by Mr. J. L. Jas- per were, it is thought, the most complete regarding colored Sunday “schools ever gathered here. He reported in the 9% schools 14,765 pupils and teachers, Zion Baptist leading, with over 1,300 attend- ants.” ———_—_ ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES, Fifth Baptist Church Celebrating an Important Event. Anniversary exercises of the organization of the Fifth Baptist Church in South Washington are now engaging the atten- ticn of the congregation and friends. Few ministers in-this city have the record pos- sessed by Rev. Dr. C. C. Meador, who, for ferty years, has served as pastor of this church. Ever since the organization of the church he has continuously labored for the interests and welfare of his people end congregation. The fortieth anniversary of the Sunday school and thirty-ninth anniversary of the church are being commemorated by special services, which began Sunday and will continue throughout the week. Last night Rev. Dr. 8. H. Greene delivered the address, and a history of the church was read by Mr. 8. M. Yeatman, which detailed the early struggles of the congregation in its efforts to organize a church and erect a sultable edifice of worship. A report of the work accomplished by the Junior Society was also read, showing what has been ac- complished in ‘the way of distributing flow- ers to the sick and making collections for the support of the Baptist home and for- eign missions. Tonight Rev. Dr. J. J. Muir will talk cn “Forty Years in Missions.” Wednesday night Rev. Dr. C. A. Stakely of the First Baptist Church -will talk on “Baptist Posi- tion.” ‘Thursday night Mr. A. P.
