Pierson H. Bristow, superintendent of one of the departments of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school, and an energetic Sunday school worker, was honored at the recent convention in Boston of the Internaticnal Sunday School Union. He was made a member of the executive com- mittee, which is composed of eleven members and has for its chairman B. F. Jacobs of Chicago, the well-known Sunday school worker and singing evangelist. The members of Calvary Church are pleased at the distinction conferred upon their associate, and are glad that Washington city is represented on the executive board of the international union. ——— The Law Evaded. Yesterday afternoon in the Police Court Frederick W. Dieste was given a trial on a charge of being an unlicensed wholesale liquor dealer. This Is the case which was brought by a committee of the Drivers’ As- sociation, of which Dieste is not a member, and the c: which resulted indirectly from the beer boycott. The defendant claimed that he was in the employ of Mr. Charles Jacobson, the well-known bottler, and sold on a salary and commission. It was claimed that many of his patrons lived in the mile limit, where he drove about selling beer, and not delivering beer that had been or- dered from the bottling establishment. Wit- nesses also told of boxes of Pabst beer that had been sold by the defendant, and the latter explained that the Milwaukee beer had been delivered as an accommodation. For the District it was contended that this way of doing business was an evasion of the law, and the jury so found. When a verdict of guilty was rendered counsel gave notice of a motion for a new trial. ss The Fourth at Cape May. ‘The Cottagers’ Association of Cape May has perfected arrangements to have an old- fashioned Fourth of July celebration on the lawn at Congress Hall. One of the chief features will be the raising of an immense American flag, 30x54 feet. When the flag is unfurled from a pole 160 feet high thous- ands of miniature flags hidden in its folds will flutter out and fill the air falling. Prof. Ludiam will deliver an ode he has written for the occasion. “The Star-Spangled Ban- ner” and other patriotic airs will be ren- dered by Mr. Simon Hassler’s Orchestra, and Congressman Loudenslager will make an address. After supper there will be a grand display of fireworks, and a hop at night. The grand march will be led by 300 children dressed in patriotic colors. There will be an exhibition of fancy dancing by aetea Gillespie and other children of Cape ay. —— Reduced Rates Account of July 4th to mts South via Pennsylvania Rallroad.

Yesterday's weather was warm, and s0 Daniel Smothers and Sam Contee, colored cart drivers, concluded that they would take a bath when their carts were laid off for the afternoon. They are not pros- ous enough to live in houses with modern improvements, and in the absence of a bath tub at home they started in the direction of the riyer, intending to enjoy the water. But before they reached the river front their attention was attracted to a lake in the Agricultural grounds. The street and shrubbery about the lake, they thought, was dense enough to hide them from the public road, and the water was so well shaded that they thought there was no danger of a sun stroke. There were some small boys in the lake when they reached the attractive pool, and by them they were assured that the police would not trouble them. This was sufficient guarantee for them, and so, taking off their clothes, they went in. Both men were splashing ebout in the water and having a good time when Policeman Brown saunter- ed over there from the bathing beach, and found the violators of the law. But his appearance there did not frighten the colored men, who were certain that they were rightfully there, but when he called them out and told them that they were violating the law they were apparent- ly sorry that they had not made them- selves scarce. “You boys are violating the law,” the officer said to them, “and are under ar- rest.” “For what?” inquired one of the bathers. “It's against the law to be bathing in the lake.” ‘Then they were marched off to the sta- tion and locked up, and this merning they marched into Judge Kimball's court as members of the procession. “You young men should have known you were doing wrong,” said the court. “There were some boys here the other day for this, and I Ict them go, but hereafter fines will be imposed. Why did you not go to the bathing beach?” : “*Cause we didn’t have no bathing suit,” was the response. 5 “You don’t have to have a bathing suit, the judge told them; “‘all that is necessary is a shirt and a pair of trousers.” “Then we'll go there next time. “You will have to pay $2 each. Caused by Drink. Peck Adams, colored, who is a familiar character in court, was in the procession because of his usual intemperance. He was in his ash cart yesterday, and was so much under the influence of liquor that he was unable to control his animal. “I'm guilty, yo’ honor,” he said, “but if you trust me, I'll pay you. I was doing some sodding at the Chinese minister’s yes- terday, and, of course, when I got through, I drank a little more beer than I had any right to drink.” “And you knew it was wrong?” “Of course I did, but any working man’s liable to drink too much and fall down.” _ “You are fined $3," said the court, “and will have to go down unless the fine is paid.” Dan Shea, a young man, who was once a respectable member of society, was in the toils because he was found drunk and lying on the sidewalk last night. “I'm guilty,” he answered, when arraign- ed on a charge of obstructing the sidewalk, and went down in default of fine. “I've tried to reform,” said a young col- ored man named Raymond Beckett, “but yesterday I got out with some fellows and drank too much beer. I can’t stand much, anyhow.” The usual fine was imposed. Six colored women from the section of Georgetcwn called “Boston” were in the procession as vagrants, and Policemen Maher and Harrison appeared as witnesses against them. They are members of the “Growler Rush- ers’”” Society, but other than the fact that they drink beer there was not much against them. “I saw one of the women get three cans of beer within ten minutes’ time,” said one of the cfficers. Lawyer Ricks thought it hardly necessary to make a defense, but he called the wo- men, and the court heard their statements. It turned out that they are working wo- men, and most of them are employed dur- ing the day, but they will drink after sun- down. “Now, your honor,” said counsel, “fine feathers may make ‘fine birds, but beneath tattered garments and distorted faces there may be honest hearts. These people do get buckets of beer, but there are many poor people who live on bread and beer, because they are cheap. They can’t buy soft crabs and porterhouse steaks, but this does not show that they are vagrants.” Judge Kimball, commenting on beer drink- ing by women, said it was unfortunate that the law even permitted them to enter sa- loons. This kind of drinking, the judge told the women, is debasing to their sex. In_ conclusion he took their personal bonds and released them. eee MEETING OF ELECTRICIANS. Movement Started to Imnaugurate Municipal Direction of the Profession At the meeting of the Alumni Association of the Bliss School of Electricity held last night a committee was formed to impress upon the District Commissioners the neces- sity of asking Congress to create a board of electrical examiners to license all brancheg of the electrical profession practiced here. After unanimously electing Dr. Charles M. Emmons president and Mr. R. B.

Mrs. Bruce presided, and Mrs. Jesse Law- son, who was secretary of the congress at Atlanta, was secretary of the meeting. The matters that are likely to come under the supervision of the members of the auxiliary at the approaching convention were freely and fully discussed and arrangements were also made for a reception to be giver to the delegates to the convention on the evening of the 234, at Lincoln Memorial Church ,the day following the adjournment of the body, which will be the first annual convention of the National Organization of Colored Women ever held. The following chairmen of committees were selected: Re- ception, Mrs. B. K. Bruce; decorations, Mrs. Lassiter; refreshments, Mrs. Duffield; finance, Miss S. E. Bush. Among those who will be invited to become members of the reception committee is Mrs. Terrell of the Loard of school trustees.
