The principal addresses were by Rev. Dr. T. H. Scott of the Philadelphia district and Rev. Dr. R. G. Downes of Baltimore, but others also added words of tribute to the memory of the departed. All the speeches were clothed in choice and feeling lan- guage, and while the names of all who died were ‘appropriately referred to, those of Dr. Dyscn, a former pastor of the church in which the conference has held its meet- ings here, and Dr. Stitt of Philadelphia were mentioned at the greatest length— they having occupied positions of great re- sponsibility in the connection.

Dr. William Howard Day: “Resolved, That this conference most heartily indorses and gratefully accepts the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Har- lan of the Supreme Court in the recent notable case before the United States Su- preme Court, in reference to the constitu- tionality of the enactments in various states assigning separate cars for people of color. We are led again to affirm that in the questions in which we have been and are particularly interested, we have, in the trying hours of our history, found on the Supreme Bench the justice named seeming- ly our only friend.” Bishop Pettey spoke in highly complimen- tary terms of The Evening Star for pub- lishing the full reports which have appear- ed in its columns of the proceedings of the conference, and a vote of thanks was unan- imously adopted. The other datly papers of the city were also thanked for their publications in reference to the meetings. Closing the Conference. Mrs. Mary Small, vice president of the Hcme and Foreign Missionary Society, re- perted the amount of collections received by her during the year, all of which was turned over to the proper officers.

The annual excursion of the bank clerks will be given tomorrow evening to Mar- skall Hall on the steamer Macalester. Once each year these necessary adjuncts to ihe banking system take a day off, or rather a night off, and go away out of the city and leave behind them the thought of business nd daily toil. The excursions of the bank clerks are always enjoyable, and there is no indication that the one this year will fail below the high standard set by its pre- decessors. The Macalester leaves at 6:30, and will stay long enough at the Hall to give all a chance to enjoy the many amusements there and to dance to the strains of the excellent orchestra in the Pavilion. The employes of the public buildings and grounds will give their annual family ex- cursion tomorrow at River View. Besides the regular attractions of the place, there will be special attracticns for children, and handsome prizes will be given for fancy dancing and other sports, in which ladies and children will participate. Children un- der eight years of age will be admitted free. The Pentz will make the regular trips. The popularity of those Indian Head trips on the steamer Macalester was mani- fested in a very practical and substantial way last Friday and Saturday evenings. The steamer was crowded, and a large ma- jerity of those on board ‘were young peo- ple. Many of them preferred good music, a good floor and a good partner in a waltz to the sail on to Indian Head, consequently a majority remained at the Hall until the return of the boat from Indian Head at 30. It isn't often that a jollier party goes to Marshsll Hall than the one that went down last Friday evening. These trips to Indian Head are always enjoyable, but they are particularly so now that there is moonlight. The Macalester will make this run again Friday and Saturday evenings, and every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening during July, August and Septem- ber at same hour, 6-30. As the vacation season opens, more and more, every day, a greater number of per- sons may be seen securing passage to New York by water via the Norfolk and Wash- ington Steamboat Company’s luxurious steamers, Newport News, Norfolk and Washington, one of which leaves 7th street wharf every evening at 7 o'clock. Many stop over at Old Point Comfort for a few days before continuing thelr journey. At Norfolk connections are made with the Old Dominion Steamship Company's steamers, and after a delightful sail of twenty hours in a salty atmosphere the landing is made in New York. ——.__ Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate.

Celebrating the Fourth. To the Editor cf The Evening Star: The order prohibiting the use of fire- works on the streets on the Fourtk of July will cause censiderable Joss to dealers, who laid in a supply before the order was is- sued. It will also be a great disappoint- ment to young America. The crowds of children who will meet at the distant Places set apart for fireworks will in many cases be semoved from parental control, and there will probably be more accidents than heretofore. As a compromise your correspondent sug- gests that the use of cannon crackers, skyrockets and other really dangerous ex- plosives (including all kinds of pistols) be prohibited on the streets at all times; and that ordinary small firecrackers, Roman candles and other such fireworks be al- lowed on the streets on the Fourth of July only from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and prohibited at all other hours. @ regulation prohibiting fireworks al- together could not be enforced with ten times the present police force, and the re- sult will simply be that law-abiding peopl+ will obey the law, while the “toughs” will make day and night hideous as heretofore. Give the boys a chance to work off their enthusiasm in a reasonable manner at suit- able hours, and near their homes. THOMAS W. GILMER. —_——__ Henderson Drum Corps Reunion. The fourth annual reunion of the John B. Henderson Drum Corps opened last night at the 14th Street Park. There were no especial exercises in connection with the opening of the fete, except selections rendered by tke Henderson Drum Corps.

The booths made an exceedingly attractive ap- pearance, while the general decorations and lighting were extremely pretty. This even- ing the Canton Potomac Drum Corps and Field Band will be present, and will enliven the occasion with selections.
