He is middle-aged, with a lamp sandy mustache and the general appear- ance Gf having seen better days. He wears a rusty frock coat and an old derby‘ hat that has been brushed frequently. After eating a generous supper in one restaurant last week he pulled a $5 bill out of one pocket, a cigarette out of another, and asked ‘the waiter for his check. When the waiter went to the cashier's desk to have it made out, the swindler, holding between the second and third of his left hand, and a cigarette -n the thumb and first finger, tried t the latter. There was a smothered tion and then a loud “Damn it all, just my luck.” When the waiter looked sround he saw that his customer had accidentally set fire to his $ bill while he w He had burned his fingers, the waiter reached his table nothing remained of the bill but charred fragments on the floor. “That was my last bill,” said the swindler, “and now it’s gone and I can’t pay for my supper.” The proprietor of the restaurant was summoned, and when he heard the circumstances he sympathized with the man and told him to drop in some other time at his convenience. Loudiy la- menting bis luck, the man went out, and then the waiter brushed up the fragments and examined them. They proved to be pieces of an advertisement issued by a ‘Tenderloin barber shop, so stamped that at first glance it looked Like a $5 bill. One other restaurant man has been swindled in the same way. ‘Traveling in His Uniform. From the Pittsburg News. A German officer in full ‘imentals wandered into the emigrant quarters of the Pennsylvania railroad on New Grant street yesterday morning. He kad the erect, soldierly bearing which would have betokened his calling alone, and wore a uniferm which was impressively showy its newness. The latter fact, coupled with the man’s eagerness regarding west- ern trains, le@ many to believe him a de- serter frcm the German army, who was secking exemption in flight. He wore a gorgeous cavalry coat, with gold cords, @ red and blue cap, which was a cross between a yachting and a golf cap, and pecullar aigh top boots. When engaged in conversation, however, his trip proved to be entirely innocent of any intentions to default. He gave his name as Franz Braam of the 62d Regiment Cavalry, sta- tioned at Stuttgart. He had secured » two years’ leave of absence, and was en route to visit a brother in Minnesota. The new uniform was cheaper than a suit of civillan’s clothes, so the thrifty officer decided to make the trip in war paint. As he walked down Liberty street to the union depot last night several of the Na- tional Guard boys who were returning from drill in half untform, gazed enviously at his striking costume, and compured notes with their own duck trousers and modest blouses. The officer was equally interested in the volunteers, and, no doubt, each was wishing an exchange of places, so far as military life was concerned. +0 A Long Building Three Feet Wide. From the Buffalo Courier. A Springfield, Mass., man is erecting a brick business blcck, 80 feet long, 4 feet deep, including the walls, and 8 feet high. ‘The strip of land which it will occupy has been lying idle for rearly twenty years, and has been a source of some expense to its owner. It was recently acquired by its Present possessor, who is determined to derive u revenue from it. He intends to devote the building he is erecting to offices, shoemakers’ skops and a bicycle repository. There will be a space of less than three feet between the front and back walls. By letting the doors open outward and having his tenants sit parallel with the street, he thinks he can accommodate ‘enough of them to insure him a profit on his invest- ment. But they will have to Be small men to be entirely comfortable in the narrow quarters he is providing. —_——<e-______ A Lightning Exterminator. From the Chicago Daily News. Mrs. Wallace—“I wonder if gasoline wil! remove green paint?” Mr. Wallace—“Dunno. Should think it ought to; I have known it to remove a green hired girl in two seconds.” HOUSING DELEGATES A Resident of tho Northoast Asks an Interesting Question. HOW THE ASSIGNMENTS ARE MADE Provision in the Program for the General Public. WORK OF THE CHORUS = A housekeeper In the northeast, who has been interested in the plans of the enter- tainment committee for housing delegates, and has kept track of the progress of the work as outlined in the published reports, writes to The Star as follows: “The very polite and agreeable agents of the locating committee have, figuratively, trcddern. upon each other's heels in efforts to secure our apartments, and professed the same anxiety expressed by The Star lest there should be a scarcity of rooms and beds. Therefore to do our share in pre- serving the good name of the city by hos- vitality, and to aid a good cause, we have rut ourselves to not a little inconvenience, and most cheerfully, to take all possible. Now we learn that these guests are to be located by states, aud through churches, each distributing in its vicinity, and that to the Eastern Presbyterian Church are as- signed Oklahama and Mississippi; to the Metropo! n, Connecticut and Colorado; to the Ninth’ Street Presbyterian, Alabama and Louisiana, and that Montana last year sent eight delegates, and sixteen are ex- pected from tnere this year. “At that rate how many guests will be dis- tributed in the northeast district? As *the church co:nmittees will naturally supply their own membership first, how many may a member +f a church in the northwest ex- pect? Is it worth while to expect any? If through what committee? and from what part of the Christianized earth? As they will all be Christians we ask only for information, and noi complaint; since mis- sionaries are not less worthy, and there- fore not less desirable than the sons and daughters of wealth. We should, however, lke to be assured that our efforts have not been unappreciated by the committee, and the “hundreds” all sent to a more favored section.” Distributing the Delegates. In this communication the ideal scheme of assigning delegates is mentioned—that is, sending all members of a delegation to homes in the immediate vicinity of the church which has been assigned for the d fation’s headquarter: But this ideal plan cannot be carried out in practice, says Chairman Miles M. Shand of the entertain- ment committee. The reason can be readily understood. In the large district bounded by Pennsylvania avenue and N street, 7th and 16th streets the entertainment com- mittee, after a thorough canvass, has se- cured in the neighborhood of 7,000 accom- modations. In this same district will be the church headquarters for delegations from Illinois, West Virginia, Texas, Penn- sylvania, Ohio, Nebraska, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Arkansas, California, Indigna, Massachusetts and other states. Pennsylvania expects to send 7,000 dele- gates; Massachusetts, 1,200; Illinois, 1,200; Indiana, 1,000; Ohio over 1,000, and the other delegations mentioned enough to make the total sum up to something like 15,000. In other words, in the district whose bounds are given there are accommoda- tions for 7,000 people, while the delegations whose headquarters are located within the some territory will number quite twice that igure. So, In the Northeast. In the northeast there are a large number of accommodations at the disposal of the committee, while the delegations whose church headquarters are situated in that section will not be numerically strong enough to require all the rooms that have Some districts have more than they need, some not enough. The entertainment com- mittee in assigning delegates to homes will distribute them in al! parcs of the city, and one section will not be favored to the ex- clusion of another. Those that cannot be ccommodated in homes near their church headquarters will be sent to other districts that have not been filled up. None to Go to the Suburbs, In this city delegates will be quartered not farther than two and one-half miles from the tents where the meetings are to be held. No offers of accommodations in the suburbs have as yet been accepted, thevgh several homes in Anacostia, Ta- koma, Brightwood, Alexandria and other near-by but out-of-town places have been placed at the committee's disposal. Last year at Boston some of the delegates were assigned to homes in the suburbs as far away frem Boston Common, where the meetings were held, as fifteen, e:ghteen or even twenty miles. The most distant point to which delegates will be assigned this year is only two miles and one-half from the convention tents, and a majority will be quartered very much nearer and in sec- tions convenient to rapid transit street car lines. Another corsideration that will affect the assignment of delegates is their willingness to pay high or low rates. Some house- keepers have offered their rooms for fifty cents per day; others want one dollar or more. If a delegate asks for the cheapest rates oblainaile, ne will be given what is at the committee's disposal, even though it may take him out of the district in which his church headquarters is located. Chair- man Shand is confident that all sections of tne city w.ll be calied upon to receive visitors into their homes next week. Provision for the General Public. One of the most pleasant features of the convention from the standpoint of a citizen of Washington is the provision which has keen made for the general public in the formation of the program. While the ma- jority of the meetings are naturally in- tended for Christian Endeavorers who come here from a distance, yet the public wiil always be admitted if there is room after the hour for opening a meeting. Ser- vices have been regularly provided on the program in which the public will have equal mghts with the delegates, and some Meetings have been arranged for citizens only. The meetings of the opening evening will te held simultaneously in twenty-two churches, from 8 to 10 p.m. The location of these meetings in all parts of the city gives ample oppertunity for everyone who desires to attend to do so. The general topic of the evening is “Deepening of the Spiritual Life,” and all the addresses will Lear upon this theme. Local pastors will preside at the various churches, and two addresses will be delivered in each place, after which a new feature for Christian Endeavor conventions, called “A Quiet Hour,” will be introduced. Some of the best addresses of the convention will be delivered at these Wednesday night meet- ings, and those who will conduct the quiet hours are among the best-known En- deayorers of this country. Stereopticon Lectures. Special features of the Wednesday night, n-ectings will be two lectures illustrated by stereopticon views. At the First Congrega- tional Chureh Rev. George E. Lovejoy of Stoneham, Mass., gives an illustrated ad- dress on Armenia, entitled “The Crescent Against the Cross.” At the First Presby- terlan Church Rev. Frank S. Dobbins, sec- retary of the American Baptist Missionary Union of Philadelphia, Pa., will give an 1i- lustrated address, “The Land of the Rising €un," preceded by a song service, favorite hymns and illustrations from great paint- ings, etc. 2 The early morning prayer meetings held evéry morning of the convention in the thirty-three churches which have been as- signed as headquarters for state delega- tions are also open to the public. Thess meetings begin at 6:30 o'clock and last until 7:15, and are frequently among the very best of the convention. ‘Thursday and Sunday afternoons there will be thirty denominational rallies. The three tents and twenty-seven churches wi! be used for these meetings, which will also be-open to the public. Special Meetings for Men and Women Saturday morning Tent Washingtor will be used for an evangelistic meeting for men only. The music wilk-Re led by a chorus of men under the direajjon of Mr. P. P. Bil- horn. of Chicago. Secretary John Willis Baer of Boston will preside, Mr. W. N. Multer, secretary of the Washington Young Men’s Christian Association, will lead de- votional exercises, ad addresses will be delivered by Mr. Charles N. Hunt, the lawyer evangelist of Minneapolis, Minn.; Commander F. Del. Booth-Tucker of the Salvation Army and Rev. J. Wilbur Chap- man, D.D., of Philadelphia, Pa. An evangelistic meeting for women only will be held in Tent Wndeavor at the same time. Mrs. John W#lis Baer of Boston, Mass., will preside, Mrs. Frank Pryam of Washington, D. C., ryt direct a chorus of women, Mrs. Wilbur Crafts of Washing- ton, D. C., will conduct devotional exer- cises and addresses will be delivered by Mrs. Kate Waller rrett, Washington, D. , Miss Belle Kearney of Flora, Miss., Mrs. . M. Whittemore; New York city, and Consul Mrs. F. DéL. Booth-Tucker of New York city. Citizens’ Meetings. Saturday evening two meetings for citi- zens, and citizens only, have been provided in Tents Washington and Endeavor. “‘Chris- tian Endeavor—Its Aims and Possibilities” will be the general topic for both of these meetings, and addresses: will be delivered bearing upon this theme by the following well-known trustees of the United Society of Christian Endeavor: Rev. J. Z. Tyler, Cleveland, Ohio; Rev. Wayland Hoyt, D. D., Philadelphia, Pa.; Mr. John Wana- maker, Philadelphia,Pa.; Rev. H. C. Farrar, D. D., Albany, N. Y.; Rev. John T. Beck- ley, D. D., New York city; Rev. N. Boynton, D. D., Detroit, Mich. Sunday afternoon there will be an evan- gelistic meeting in one of the tents and a Sabbath observance rally in Central Hall, beth open to the public. ‘Throughout the whole convention evan- gelistic meetings will be held at noon in the auditorium of the Central Union Mission, and smaller meetings of the same character will be held in all parts of the city. Last Night's Rehearsal, A very large cudience attended the pub- lic rehearsal of section D cf the chorus lest night in Central Hall, and gave evi- dence that the work of the eleven hundred sirgers was thoroughly appreciated. Mr. K. O. Excell of Chicago, one of the three men selected to lead the chorus during the convention, conducted the concert last night. As usual, all the members of the section could not be eccommodated on the enlarged platform at the south end of the hall, and some had to find seats or standing room in the gallery and alongside of the platform. Interspersed with the chorus numbers, Percy 8. Foster and Mr. Excell each sang solos, and Dr. Frank Swartwout played a solo on the cornet. The singing was spirited and fully equal to the work of the other sections. Concluding the program, Mr. Excell’s own anthem, “Wake the Song,” was rendered. This number promises to be- come very popular during the convention: last night, as sung by more than a thousand trained voices, under the direction of the composer, it was enthusiastically received by the large audience. A Fine Opportunity. It is evident that the Washington public is beginning to realize what a gigantic chorus has been organized for the Chris- tian Endeavor convention, and that a rare opportunity is being afforded this week of hearing more than one thousand voices in chorus singing. Tomorrow evening the last of the sections will furnish the music of the program, section C, led by Percy 38. Foster of this city. In speaking with a member of the com- mittee of "96 about che convention cho- rus, Mr. P. P. Bilhprtof Chicago, one of the convention musicalMirectors, and who conducted the public rehearsal Tuesday evening, said that he, astonished at the efficiency and size ot Oe chorus. Never in his musical experiencé,>he is reported to have said, had he exer heard such magnifl- cent singing by such a tremendous body of singers. He coujd nat understand why the people of the gity were not nearly wild with enthusiasm. “When he consid- ered that the section Which he led was only one-fourth of the'entire chorus or- ganized for the ccnvention, he sald he could scarcely express ‘his "astonishment such an undertaking had been so suc- essfully carried out: ‘Mr. Bilhorn himself wes all enthusiasnr over the music and chcrus, and when! the convention’ opens €: pects to return te: the. city eager “to be- gin the duties of leaders > Cc. E. Song Servftée at' Hamline. The C. E. choruses connected with the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, the Memorial Lutheran Church, the Mt. Ver- non Place M. E. Church and the Gunton Temple Memorial Church have been in- vited to Hamline M. E. Chureh next Sun- evening to take part in a song service, under the direction of J. Arthur Rose. Pews in the front of the church will be reserved for the singers. Electric Lights, The hall committee, under whose super- vision the White Lot is being fitted up for ccnvention purposes, contains among its membership several men of practical and expert knowledge ‘in mechanics, building, electricity, ete. One of these, an electri- vian, is superintending the electric lighting of the tents and grounds. Poles hay2 been erected by the lighting company, but the hall committee is supervising the rest of the job. Today ifisulators have been put on the poles and wires strung by a force of men under the direction of Louis D. Bliss of the hall committee. Hospital Tent A+ number of small hospital tents will be erected in the grounds adjacent to the White Lot, but none on the ellipse itself. That epot is reserved entirely for the three meeting tents, and none others will be permitted there. But ample facll- ities will be provided for persons taken suddenly ill, so that they can receive ef- ficient medical attention promptly and be comfortably cared for. A lunch tent is also to be erected in the grounds near the entrance from 15th and E_ streets, but persons will not be permitted to enter the main tents and litter them up with lunch papers and other debris. It is the intention to keep the tents clean end in neat order. Another Headquarters, During the entire month of July the committee of ’96 is to have the use of the hall of the Washington Light Infantry Armory, together with two or more of the large upstairs rooms. ‘The armory hall will be profusely decorated, and will con- tain tables for the display of literature, and besides will be the down-town head- quarters of -all the state delegations end of the committee of ’%6. Under the dl- rection of Chairman Church of the hall committee carpenters are now at work making the tables and erectiitg uprights upon which the bunting and streamers will be draped. Some: time before the con- vention opens the committee of ‘96 will move its headquarters. temporarily to this place, so as to be more convenient to the convention tents. bs Notices have been sent out to the pastors of the city asking that special prayer be offered in the chnrphe¥ next Sunday for the convention and, thanking them and their churches for couragement and help cheerfully givefi th® committee cf “96. ee Practical Use-ofsthe X Rays. From the London News.\, 3 A practical achievehngnt of the X ray photography is gratéfully related by Maj. Gen. Maurice. His son at present home from India on leave'ta@a bad fall from a horse, which caught its forelegs on a fence and rolled over upop {ts,rider. The injury to the young subaltten eluded concussion of the brain, which!miadd proper diagnosis of another injury t} the arm for a time impossible; but the, awelling of the arm caused great anxiety, and ultimately the quiet and painless investigation of the new Photograpl'y was resorted to. This re- vealed’ to the anxious.father a simple dis- location, instead of the dreaded comyound fracture. patient having . recovered from the concyssion, was put under chio- roform and the dislocation reduced, but the swelling was so grea® that it was impos- sible to be cerfair that the bones had been accurately replaced or had not slipped. A second photograph gave complete reas- surance on this peint. Gen. Maurice is now warmly advocating the provision of every hospital with the necessary appa- ratus for taking Roentgen ray photo- graphs. hee At Newport, Ky., Monday Judge Helm overruled the motion for a new trial for Alonzo Walling, convicted as an accom- plice of Scott Jackson in the murder of Pearl Bryan. IN LABOR. CIRCLES Conference Largely Attended to Dis- euss the Celebration. MEETINGS OF SEVERAL Interesting Question as to Status of the Horseshoers. BODIES NOTES OF THE TOILERS A largely attended meeting of delegates to the Labor day conference was held last evening at Bricklayers’ Hall, 7th and L streets northwest, and much important bus- iness was transacted. President William Silver presided, and Mr. J. M. Boyce was secretary. The cre- dentials of the delegates of two organiza- tions not previously represeated in the conference were presented, and the dele- gates admitted. After the committee appointed at a pre- vious meeting to visit all the untons in the city that had not sent delegates to the conference made its report, a resolution was unanimously adopted to have a parade of at least ali the locals represented in the Central Labor Union, and all of them prom- ised, through their representatives, to par- ticipate. It was stated that the reason advanced ‘by those who declined—the car- penters, stonemasons and Machinists’ Asso- ciation—was that their smpathies were more in favor of the Knights of Labor than the Central Labor Union. - It was also determined that no music except union, recognized as such by the Central Labor Union, will be employed on Labor day, and in order that there may be no mistake in the matter the entire ques- tion of the engagement of bands was, at the request of the Musical League, referred to that organization for investigation and report. It was determined that there will be weekly meetings of the conference hereaf- ter, and at that to be held neat week every arrangement for the proper celebration of Labor dsy that can then be made will be atterded to. These include the appoint- ment of all committees, arrangement of program, election of marshal, assistant marshals, etc. The members of the conference are quite donfident that the Labor day demonstra- tion of this year will be equai in all re- spects, if it does not, indeed, surpass, any affair of the kind ever held in the District of Columbia. Painters and Decorators. The regular weekly meeting of Local N 170, Brotherhood of Painters and Decor- ators of America, was held last evening at Red Men's Hall, corner of 9th and L streets northwest. The intention of the members of the local, which, as heretofore stated in The Star, was recently organized, was to elect per- manent officers, but a question having been raised since the previous meeting as to the eligibility of Temporary President Camp- bell, who was seiected for the office of president, as he is an employer of labor, and pending a decision of the national sec- retary, to whom the question was referred, the election was postponed. Six new members were admitted, and a committee, compoced of Messrs. M. 'T. Ran- dall, E. M. Dement and S. H. Adams, was appointed to revise the constitution and by- laws, so as to make them agree to the rules of the national body. Building Trades. At the meeting of the Building Trades Coyncil held Tuesday evening President William Silver occupied the chair, and Mr. J. M. Boyce was secretary. The delegates from the Painters’ Union stated that their organization was now recognized by all the crafts represented in the Building Trades Council, and they had themselves approved the council's contrac also that they had secured several large contracts and in several places non-union men were discharged and their places given to union men. A resolution was unanimously adopted requesting the members of all organiza- tions representec in the Building Trades Council to examine the cards of all steam fitters and their helpers now at work, be- cause, it was stated, some members of these crafts aro understood to be working on the strength of old cards, and it was announced by the delegates from the Steam Fitters’ Association that until the troubles now existing between the union and the bosses on the unfair list are ad- justed cards will be issued monthly instead of quarterly, as is generally customary, as a matter of protection. ° The action of the Central Labor Union in putting the names of several employing stezm fitters and the musical union on the unfair list was indorsed. It was determined to meet hereafter at the hall of the Electrical Workers, No. 508 11th street northwest. Carpentefs and Joiners. The quarterly star meeting of the Amal- gamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners was held in Costello's Hall,6th and G streets, Monday evening. Three propositions for membership were received and two new members were initiated. The principal bus ness of the evening, being the election of officers. All the ol officers were re-elected, with the exception of the check steward and auditor, who hold over by law. Two new delegates were elected to represent the union in the Building Trades’ Council. Reports were read from the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council. The ccmmittee appointed to draft rules for the guidance of members when discussing tech- nical and theoretical carpentry presented sume, which was approved. One of the members made and presented the class with a large blackboard, which was acceepted, and a vote of thanks tendered the donor. The secretary was instructed to summon the members to attend the next meeting, to be held 13th instant, when it was stated some very important business will be brought to the attention of those present. The Horseshoers. At the last meeting of the Central Labor Union, a request was made by some unor- ganized horseshoers that a union of the craft be formed, under the auspices of the central body. The matter was considered and referred to the district organizer, who, if he finds it to be practicable, will organize these men under charter as a federal union. The Horseshoers’ Na.ional Union, it was stated, was a fy affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, but not- withstanding this fact, the local organiza- tion here hes, if is understood, refused to atfiliate with the Central Labor Union, and maintains a representation in the local federation. 1t is satd by prominent members of the Central Labor Union that this position of the horseshoers makes it a very interesting question whether the Central Labor Union should recognize the Horseshoers’ Union or whether that organization should be considered a bar to the organization of an- other local, which will affiliate with the Central Labor Union. ——.__. How to Spend a Vacation. From Modern Society. Every true wheelwoman will spend her vacation this summer in a bicycle tour. There Is nothing to equal it. A party of girls may easily go alone, for there is noth- ing like wheeling to make one independent. Do not bother with any baggage. A wheel- ‘woman does not need anything but her bi- cycle costume, with a couple of changes of underclothing in a satchel in the bag- gage-carrier fastened to the handle-bar.
