Much of the Clothing Manufactured Distributed Among Charitable In- stitutions of the City. Seving, as it fs taught in the public schools of the District, has for its object more than merely instructing the girls to ply the needle and to make tucks and hems and ruffles ard flounces and to cut gores and shape sleeves and fit dresses. The lesson of co-operation is also instilled into the youthful minds. This ycar another les- son has been taught in connection with the work of the sewing department, the lesson of charity. There is on exhibition in the Franklin School building on 13th street a display of dresses and waists, aprons, night clothes, underwear and various other gar- ments, the handiwerk of the pupils of the third, fovrth, fifth and sixth grades of the public school:, which are to be given to various charitable irstitutions for distribu- tion among the poor. Already a large box of garments has teen sent to the Chil- dren's Home at Colonial Beach, and it is Proposed to send the remaining supply to the Colored Orphans’ Heme, the Associated Charities, the Children’s Hospital and the Women’s Christian Association and other institutions for distribution to worthy fam- ilies in need of arilcles of clothing. Character of the Exhibit. The clothes were made for children by children. The exhibit includes lawn, cal- ico end gingham dresses of various sizes and styles; aprons, underwaists, drawers, skirts, white, gingham and flannel; night shirts, night gowns, dressing sacks, infants’ sacks, shirt waists, etc. Some are heavy for winter wear, others suitable for hot weather; styles and colors are present in prefusion. Many of the dresses are daintily trimmed with lace borders; the boys’ shirt waists are made of strong material, with buttons so securely sewed on that it would seem impossible for even vigorous Young America to pull them off. The Supply for Distribution. The supply of garments on hand for charitable distribution is the result of con- siderable seif-denial on the part of tne pupils ef the schools. After the comple- tion of the regular sewing course there is usually time before the closing of the year for pupils to make one garment. Hereto- fore these have been made by the girls for their own but this year it was sug- that the product be given to the pocr. Materials were bought trom contri- butions made by the pupils themselves, vol- untarily subscribed. Most of the money came in pennies; there were only a few nickels and one ‘solitary quarter. In this art of the enterprise the boys shared, and many a penny that would otherwise have gone for taffy or pickles was cheerfully given up for the purpose of helping others. The materials bovght, the girls set out to do their best work on the clothes, and the result is gratifying to their teachers. It is proposed to make this charitable work a feature of each succeeding school thus teach the children the of giving. Co-Operation is Emphasized. The idea of co-operation ts also empha- ized in sewing work. One child does not make an entire garment until she has first learned tc cut out and neatly sew all o? its parts separately. The necessity for accuracy is taught, as each part must fit precisely with the others. Habits of thor- oughness, neatness and accuracy are in- sisted upon. No work that 1s not fully up to the requirements is passed by the in- strucior. This is the ninth year that sewing has been taught in the public schools of Wash t was begun in a few schools as iment in February, 1888, two teach- ers beirg placed in ¢ e of the work. ults were so satisfactory that at nning of the next school year ar- nts were made for a general intro- duction of the work into ali the schools of the city and county. Four additional re appointed, which number eased each year, until at the t time there are regularly employed een teachers in this branch of education. Nearly 7,000 Pupils Under Instraction Instruction in plain sewing is given to all girls of the third, fourth and fifth grad ene nour per week. A course in cuttin: and fitting by measurements is given to the sixth grade. There were at the close of the present school year nearly 6,400 girls receiving instruction in sewing. The necessary expenses for materials, etc., are paid from the regular school appropriations for industrial imstruciion, thus involving ne additional outlay on the part of parents. Especial attention is given throughout the course of werk to the position of the body for sewing, the correct use of the hands and ihimbie, drill in threading the needle, using the thimble and scissors, holding the work and taking stitches. From bast- ing and stitching, overcasting and hem- ming in the first year’s instruction, the pupils are carried through the various branches of sewing until they know about felling, tucking, cloth darning, how to make button holes and do fancy stitching, and can cut and fit waists and are in a fair way to become expert dressmakers. Se HOME FROM HARRISBURG. Return of the Epworth League Dele- gates. ‘The Washington delegates to the Epworth League convention at Harrisburg, Pa., re- turned today. They express unbounded satisfaction at the results of the great gathering. But they are especially grati- fied at the results of the convention as bearing directly upon maiters of local in- terest. Not only was the local delegation prominently represented upon the large committees, a Washington man_ being chairman of the committee on resolutions, but in the discussions upon the prominent questions before the body, no voices were heard with more frequency than those weil known in local league circles. The delegs tion, by its voice, vote and inference, con- tributed largely toward shaping the opin- ions and results of the body. It secured the office of corresponding secretary, the most important position within the gift of the body, with the exception of the president. The position of recording secretary also came to this elty. At the meetings of the board of control, and at the great conven- tions, this officer occupies a responsible and delicate position, demanding rapidity, accu- racy and intelligence. In addition, there was launched, amid the most favorable surroundings, the “boom” to secure the great international conference of 1809 for Washington. This gathering will probably number 30,000 or 40,000 Ep- worthians. Seattle, Washington, is striv- ing for the same honor. ‘Two powerful sermons were heard yester- day, that in the morning being by Rev. Madison Swedener, superintendent of the Church Extension’ Society of Cincinnati, Ohio; at the farewell service in the evening Rev. T. J. Leak, D. D., of Pittsburg, for- merly pastor of Grace Church, where the convention was held, delivered the sermon. ‘The closing scenes will not soon be for- gotten. Clasping hands in an unbroken circle, stretching round and round the great auditorium, “‘Biest be the Tie That Binds” was sung, and the gathering adjourned to meet in Wheeling in 1893. A “Harrrisburg echo meeting” will be held next Monday evening at Hamline Church. Short addresses will be made by the delegates, and a number of views, tak- en by one of the party, will be shown with a stereopticon. eS CONFEDERATE VETERANS’ Excursion to Richmond via Chesa- peake and Ohio Railway — Special Train From Ninth Street and Mary- land Avenue.

James, record- ing secretary, and Andrew Wallace, ser- geant-at-arms, The orphans of St. Joseph’s Asylum and the altar boys of St. Patrick's Church were given an excursion Saturday to Mar- shall Hail by Mrs. J. T. Callaghan. In ad- diticn, the generosity of Mr. 8. L. Phillips, president of the Metropolitan railway; Captain Blake of the Macalester and Col- onel M-Kitben, was very much appreciat- ed, both by the little ones and tho: accompanied the party. Those joyed the trip were Rev. Father McGee, the Sisters of the Holy Cross, Mrs. J. T. Callaghan, Mrs. Nellie E. Fealy, Mrs. H. Clay ‘Sruth and the Misses Cavanaugh. The little ones enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent, trying every amusment at the Hall and getting into every mischief possible. The return trip was made in good time, and the best of order prevailed. Marshall Hall was as an oasis in a desert yesterday. The Macalester and River Queen were comfortably filled on each trip. Thousands of men, women and children en- joyed a comfortable day at the Hall. The return trip of the Hiver Queen and Macal- ester was attended with conditions such as to inspire even the most prosaic persons with poetic feelings. The sunset, coming up the Potomac, was one of the finest en- joyed this season, and the soft twilight was restful and soothing to an unusual de- gree. Beginning Thursday of this week and continuing throughout the season, the Macalester will make three trips each week to Indian Head—Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:30. The Eusiness Woman's Club has decided upon a series of outings as the program for their regular meetings during the sum- mer, ‘and the first one was given at the home of the treasurer of the club, Miss Lida C. Tulloch, at the Biggin, one of the pretty spots of Forest Glen. Miss Tulloch was assisted in the reception of her guests by the Misses Priest, and a most enjoyable day was spent in the woods and shady spots in and around the Biggin. The Concordia Sunday school will give its annual excursion to River View tomor- row on the steamer Pentz. The boat will make the regular trips, and children will be charged but half fare for the trip. All of the amusements of the View, including the new “chute,” will be in full operation, and everything to give the youngsters and their older friends a good time. The R. W. and B. Club excursions are among the happiest events that occur on the river, and the annual excursion for this year will be given to Marshall Hall tomor- row on the steamer Macalester, the boat leaving at the usual hour, 6:30. ‘There will be a big cake walk as the special attraction, while a concert will be rendered on the grounds by well-known talent. All who ac- company the club are assured a good time, and there is every indication that a large crowd will partake of the hospitality of the organization. Se AMUSEMENTS. The Christian Endeavor Chorus.—An op- portunity will be presented to the public for the first time to hear Christian En- deavor music as it will ke sung during tne Christian Endeavor convention by the mammoth Christian Endeavor chorus that has been orginived and for months been in training under competent directors. The chorus numbers over 4,500 members, and is divided into four sections. Section A will sing tonight, and the three musical directors selected to lead the singing dur- ing the convention will officiate. They are Percy 8. Foster of this city and P. B. Bil- horn and E. O. Excell of Chicago. Mr. Bilhorn will also sing a solo, and Mrs. Hattie Meads Smith will contribute to the program. Central Hall is the auditorium chosen for holding the concert, and the eleven hundred singers will fill the en- larged platform, and overfiow into the au- dience seats. Tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday evenings the three other sections of the chorus. will give similar rehearsals, led respectively by Mr. Bilhorn, Mr. Excell and Mr. Foster. It is not often that an opportunity is presented the Washington public of hearing choruses of over one tfousand voices; that opportunity will be given four evenings this week, and evea those who expect to attend the sessions of the convention should endeavor to be pres- ent at at least one of the public rehear- sals, when the chorus can be heard to splendid advantage. ‘The proceeds of the concerts are to be used to swell the con- vention expense fund. ——— Parlor Cars for Deer Park and Vir- ginin Springs.

AMONG LABOR MEN Meetings of Several Unions and the Busi- ness They Transacted. Good Financial Showing of the Cigar Makers—Barbers Organise— Preparing for Labor Day. The regular weekly meeting and semi!- annual election of officers of Cigar Makers’ Union, No. 110, was held Saturday evening, and the following were chosen for the en- suing term: President, John Ester; vice president, George Stahl; financial secretary, Charles J. Hunter; corresponding and re- cording secretary, Henry Wissner; treas- urer, C. A. Cook; sergeant-at-arms, J. W. Cherry; trustees, John Ester, John Win- gate and John Buechling; finance commit- tee, A. L. Dahler and F. R. Hall; auditing committee, John Buechling, Henry Weaver and John Willis; label committee, C. A. Cook and Walter Whitehead; delegates to Central Labor Union, C. A. Cook, A. L. Dahler, F. R. Hall, John Willis and John Ester. Among the interesting matters which oc- cupied the attention of the members was the subject of labels, which at this time ts regarded as a question of paramount im- portance by a number of the strongest labor organizations in the country. It was stated that the various crafts In this city that use labels on their products, led by the Cigar Makers, are taking active steps for the formation of a label league, whose principal object will be the pushing of the use of union labels in all trades. Many of the best-known labor men in the city favor the formation of a label league, and they believe that the meetings will be of a high order of interest. The league, when organized, will maintain an agitation committee for the purpose of doing outside work. The committee will be expected to regularly visit the various organizations in the District and make it a point to see that the members of all unions that have labels do not lose interest in them, and that organizations that have not yet adopted a label are awakened to the importance of the little symbol of unionism. The agitation committee in {ts rounds will explain the different labels and stamps in use, and urge members of unions not to omit looking for the union label on all ar- ticles that they buy. -Good Financial Showing. Another subject which furnished much satisfaction was the fine showing of the condition of the treasury of the Interna- tional Cigar Makers’ Union, of which No. J10 of this city is a branch, and which has Just been receiy This showed that @ur- ing the fiscal year recently ended there were expended: For strike benefits, $44,039.06; sick, $112,567.06; death, $66,725.98: traveling, $41 E ut of work, $1 8 total of $451 in discussing the report one of the speak- ers said: “While the report {s remarkable in more ways than one, however, one of the most striking features is the amount ex- pended for strike benefit. Of the total amount—$44,030.06—$31,121.08 was expended jn two cities, Detroit and Montreal; hence, barring those two cities, it only cost the International Union $} 9S to maintain the scale of prices all ov the country. “This is remarkable in view of the fact depression extended industrial lay to that the industrial right through the year. The stagnation caused an enormous ou meet out of work benefit claims, thu: irg upon the reserve fund to the extent of about $100,000, “This lr.dicates that even if the dull times Were to continue throughout the current year, which is not likely to be the case, the returns show a steady increase in the out- put of cigars each month, the union could sul meet all financial obligations in the paynient of benefits and maintain the re- rva fund, with an assessment of about 4) on each member.”* The financial report of the local union was as follows: Initiation fees, $58.50; dues 3811 -annual assessment, $63; assessment, $14.25; fines, $13.45; collec: loans, $79.50; assistance from union, due on financial examination, $10 on_hand at previous report, x $1,753.82.

As usual, much routine business was at- tended to at the regular meeting of the Bricklayers’ Unicn Friday night. President W. H. Magltan presided, and there was quite a large attendance. A committee of five was appointed to procure uniforms and music for the Labor day parade. The bricklayers have determined to parade in full force, and every effort will be made by the organization to make the coming demonstration a suce The boycott placed by the Central Labor Unien and the Building Trades Council up- on those firms of employing steam fitters who have refused the demand of their employes for an eight-hour day was unan- imously indorsed. The alleged employment of non-union, under-paid labor by many real estate deal- ers and landlords to the exclusion of union labor was considered and the delegates of the union to the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council were instructed to bring the matter to the attention of the organizations represented in those two cen- tral bodies, and to pledge the co-operation ef the bricklayers in any effort for the organization of a ‘Tenants’ League,” for the primary object of limiting the patron- ege of tenants to those dealers and land- lords who employ none but union labor on the repair and construction of work. Five new members vere elected and ob- ligated. Thomas Sullivan was elected walking delegate of the vnion for the remainder of the quarter ending July 10. Barbers Organize. The barbers representing thirteen shops met yesterday evening at 1012 Pennsyl- vania avenue northwest and organized by electing the following officers: President, Willlam McEnew; vice president, W. Mc- Kenny; financial secretary, Leo Zwigsler: treasurer, George T, Harper; corresponding secretary, John P. Eimers. Organizer Weber, who was present, prepared an appli- cation for a charter from the Journey- man Barbers’ International Union of Amer- ica, which will be indorsed by the Central Labor Union tonight, and it is expected to have delegates in that body at the next meeting. A charter fee was agreed uno: which will be required of all barbers join- ing the body previous to permanent organi- zation. The following letter addressed to Organizer Weber was: read from W. E.

C., is the local title adopted, and it is anticipated that the new organization will in a short time have a membership of 150 first-class white barbers. To many of these the Barters’ Assembly has, it is said, been objectionable, and as a result many of the best shops employing the best class of barbers have not been in sympathy with the assembly. The object of the new or- ganization is to combine journeymen and employers and conduct the organization strictly upon trade union lines. The next meeting of the union will be held on Thurs- day evening next, at Leo Zwissler’s shop, 1012 Pennsylvania avenue, where, after a thorough canvas, a large attendance is an- ticipated.
