New National Theater.—The bill at the New National Theater next week by the summer stock company will be “Turned Up.” Kernan’s Lyceum Theater.—“H. M. 8. Pinafore” will be the subject of burlesque at Kernan’s next week, produced by the Lyceum Stock Company, under the title of “Her Majesty's Safety Pin.” This will undoubtediy be the best of the series yet produced. Many new features will be in- troduced, and all of the favorites will ap- pear. The vaudeville portion of the pro- gram-to be given in the summer garden will be made up of only high-class and up-to-date acts, numbering fifteen in all, among whom are Huesied and Guyer, the clever character artists; sfiss Lettie Le- Vyne, singer of catchy songs; Miss Rose Gordon, vocalist and dancer; Miss Maude Harris, the charming vocalist; Ada Downie, expert buck and wing dancer; the Brilliant Quartet and others. There will be mat- inees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Columbia Musical Parlors.—The immense electric fans at the Columbia Phonograph Company’s musical parlors, 918 Pennsyl- vania avenue, make the place one of the coolest and most inviting spots in the city to spend an hour or in the evening. The new automatic slot graphophone ma- chines have all been put in place. They are a great improvement on the machines formerly in use, as the reproductions are much plaimer. Great preparations have been made for the entertainment of the thousands of Christian Endeavorers who are expected next week. The program will be one of the best ever prepared, and it 1s confidently expected that this will be one of the most successful weeks in the history of the musical parlors, A few of the graph- ophone records to be mentioned are: “Pride of the Nation,” Mr. Ed. Droop's new march; Fanciulli’s “Old Hickory” March, which made such @ hft at a recent concert on the White Lot; the great Sousa’s latest march, “El Capitan;” “Dixie,” by Gilmore's band; “The Chimes of Trinity Church, New York;” the patriotic air, “America’s Nationai Anthem,” and a parody on “Just Tell Them That You Saw Me. Ben Hur.—The visitors to the Christian Endeavor convention during the coming week are to be favored with the opportunity of witnessing this great religious drama, which was easily the success of the season in Washington during the past winter. ‘Thirty-five new views have been added to the number previously shown, making a total of one hundred and thirty-five mag- nificent colored lantern slides. Rev. Dr. Rogers, who has made almost a national reputation in connection with this enter- tainment, recites the story. Miss Blizabeth Tyler, the well-known contralto, renders the solos, and Prof. B. P. Murray furnishes the illustrations. The entertainment is to be given at the Church of Our Father, 18th and L streets northwest, July 6 to 1l.

The interstate commerce commission, in an opinion by Commissioner Knapp, has announced its decision of two cases brought by the Lynchburg board of trade against the Old Dominion Steamship Company, the Merchants and Miners’ Steamship Com- pany, the Norfolk and Western Railroad Company and the East Tennessee, Vir- ginia and Georgia, now Southern Railway Company. The decision is that a carvier ‘we not justified in charging more for the shorter than for the longer distance by competition at the longer distance point of other carriers, which are themselves sub- ject to that act, in the absence of author- ity from the commission under the proviso clause of the fourth section of the law. When rates are relatively unjust go that undue preference is afforded to one locality or undue prejudice results to another, the law is violated and its penalties incurred, although the higher rate is not in itself excesgive, and such rule is especially ap- icable where a given relation in rates, long continued and concededly equitable, is suddenly and almost completely reversed, merely because other carriers to the longer @istance point have disregarded their legal duties.

FORTY THOUSAND VISITING DELEGATES Official Badges to Be Distributed Among the Members. REGISTRATION TO BEGIN ——————— It is expected that the tofal registration at the Christian Endeavor convention, which will begin in this city next week, will reach in the neighborhood of 50,000 persons. Con- servative estimates from transportation managers for the various delegations foot up a total of between 35,000 and 40,000 dele- gates from outside the District of Columbia, and the remainder will be made up from members of local societies. Chairman W. H. H. Smith of the commit- tee of '96 was speaking of this matter to a Star reporter this morning, and explained how difficult 1t was to form an accurate The Offict Badge. estimate of the size of delegations. So many considerations influence intending delegates at the last moment, he said, and many persons are unable to tell whether they can go or whether they must remain at home until too late to send word to the convention city. As showing how uncertain any preliminary estimate of the size of delegations must be, Mr. Smith cited the case of the District's excursion party to Boston last year. Only a day or two before the start was made he was almost confident that not more than 250 Washingtonians would visit the Hub, yet when the train started it carried 899 delegates, and in Bos- ton over 700 registered from the District, the rest having gone on other trains than that which carried the official party. To the Montreal convention, however, not more than one-half as many delegates went, as bad been anticipated. Estimated Attendance. Mr. Smith has received revised estimates from excursion managers from all parts of the country, giving, as accurately as pos- sible, rockbottom figures as to the size of delegations, and from these he has made the calculation that there will come from outside of the District of Columbia be- tween thirty-five and forty thousand dele- gates, besides other visitors who are not connected with the society, and will not be included in the official registration totals. The high-water mark of attendance at Christian Endeavor conventions was reached last year at Boston, when 56,000 delegates registered. Of this number 40,000 were from New England alone, and 28,000 from the state of Massachusetts; that Is, from outside of the immediate section of the convention city 16,000 delegates visited Boston. This year, however, from outside the immediate vicinity of the District of Columbia, it is expected that about twice that number will register, making the fif- teenth international convention by far the enue generally attended of any previously eld. A good deal depends on the weather, however, said Mr. Smith. If next week should be as cool and pleasant as the last and this one have been, it is believed that delegates will swarm to the capital, while an intense hot wave or a season of sultry, muggy weather will have a depressing ef- fect upon the attendance. Arkansas the Last to Arrive. Only one of the many state delegations that will begin to arrive in a few days has planned its trip so that its members reach the city after the preliminary Wednesday night services. The at bulk of dele- gates will come in Wednesday afternoon and before 7 o'clock, but Arkansas will bring up the rear of the procession by ar- riving Thursday morning next “at 7 o'clock. The delegation that will be first on hand, according to the schedule at headquarters, will be a portion of Massachusetts’ party that is coming all the way by rail, and is expected Monlay night at half-past 9. Sev- en delegations will come in Tuesday, and all the rest, but Arkansas, Wednesday. Assignments have been made of iocal Endeavorers to meet trains outside the city, and members of the station cection of the reception committee have also re- ceived their schedules, showing the hours they will be on duty at the depots. Working on the Tents. Tho three tents on the White Lot were the attraction that brought crowds of peo- ple all day long to the place where the principal meetings of the convention will be held. Workmen were busy putting themi in order to receive the throngs of dele. gates. Much in this direction has already Leen accomplished. The platform in Tent Endeavor is ccmpleted, and the platform chairs ready to be placed in position. Car- penters are rapidly completing the plat- form in Tent Washington. The first tinges of color were to be seen today in Tent En- deavor, where a start has been made by the force of decorators, and clusters of na- tional flags have been suspended from the top of the tent, while over the speakers’ rostrum a large red and blue banner has been stretched, tearing the inscription, “Christ for the World.” Electricians have almost finished stringing wires and plac- ing are lights In position, and after the seats have been put in electric buzz bells will be provided. A refreshment tent has been erected south of the treasury, about opposite the Light Infantry Armory, and hospital tents will be stretched without de- lay. A stream of interested observers kept passing through the tents all day long examining the canvas and watching the workmen building platforms and dec- crating. Distributing the Official Badge. Todey was a Lusy one for Chairman Stowell and his associates on the registra- tion committee, as well as for the host of other workers, preparing for next week's gathering. It was especially busy for Mr. Stowell, because the work of registering the loca? societies and distributing to them the official badge and copies of the offi- cial program was commenced. The rogis- tration of societies in the local union will be completed Monday or Tuesday, certainly before the bulk of the delegates arrive from other cities and states. About three weeks ago the registration cecmmittee called on the presidents of the various societies for a statement of the total membership in each local organiza- tion, mimus the number enrolled in the con- vention chorus. There returns have been tabulated, and show the number of local ‘hristian HEndeavorers who will register as lelegates to the convention to be about six thousand, to which must be added more than Aen who will receive chorus badges. The official badge will be necessary in or- der to gain admission to the meetings in the tents and churches, except those where Citizens have equal rights with delegates or in cases where meetings are held ex- clusively for Washingtonians. Members of the chorus, however, will not receive the convention badge, but the special chorus badge, and while the regular badge is equivalent to a tcket of admission to all convemtion services, the chorus emblem is more potent in that tt will admit to the platform at all meetir, ‘With the badges today, cards were dis- tributed to the aids on the registration committee from the various societies, on which to record the members in their so- cleties. An equal number of badges and cards were given out, and to each aid was given only as many es the returns made by the presidents called for. In no case will badges or pro; be issued to any who are not members of local Christian En- Geavor societies, and only ga badge will be given to each person, as the number ig- ued to the afds today will but just provide for the aymber. reported previously by the president Badges end cards were distributed today; maps and pr ms will be sent to the churches in bulk Monday. Just as will be the case when visiting delegates arrive, local members will be given a badge, map and program when they register. The prac- tice given the working committees while registering local Endeavorers will eneble the members to go through the operation of receiving and assigning delegates from abroad with accuracy and dispatch. “No More Rooms Needed.” That the entertainment committee has about completed its labors is silently testi- fled to by a placard which is conspicuous in headquarters today, on .which is lettered “No More Rooms Needed.” The entertain- ment committee has labored diligently and faithfully, has made two canvasses of the city In search of homelike accommodations, has prepared tens of thousands of intro- duction or assignment cards, and is now engaged in arranging these cards in order according to location, so as to make the work of assigning delegates to homes a comparatively easy one. Citizens are warned against any persons offering to secure a designated number of roomers for those who have offered their homes to the entertainment committee. It pas come to the attention of the committee of '06 that a certain person or persons have agreed to send to housekeepers willing to accommodate some of the visitors, one or two or ten or more of the delegates, and in return for this service are to receive com- pensations of varying amounts. Chairman Smith stated to a Star reporter that such an arrangement was entirely unauthorized and without the sanction of the committee. He said that the committee had never given out to any one on any pretext a lst of houses which were offered for the accom- modation of the visitors, and that if house- keepers were paying to have delegates sent to them during the convention they were being imposed upon. The Last Public Rehearsal. The last of the public rehearsals of the chorus was held last night in Central Hall, and section C, with Mr. P. S. Foster, di- rector, was greeted with the largest and most enthusiastic audience of the series The singing merited the encomiums that were bestowed upon {t, and Excell’s an- them “Wake the Song” had such a stirring influence that nothing would satisfy the audience bit its repetition. Beside the chorus numbers, Miss Mattie Bartlett as- sisted in the program with a piano solo, and Miss Florence McNelly sang @ contralto solo. The concluding number, “America,” was sung by the audience and chorus with inspiring effect. Tomorrow evening at the Luther Place Memorial Church a union Christian En- deavor service will be held. There will be brief addresses by a number of Endeavor- ers and the Christian Endeavor choir will lead the music. A General Movement Toward Wash- ington. As was stated in The Star, a number of Christian Endeavorers are already on their way to this city to attend the fifteenth In- ternational convention, which opens Wed- nesday next. By Monday a general move- ment toward the capital will take place. Especially is this true of the northwest Several state delegations, among them be- ing those from Nebraska, Wisconsin, Min- nesota and North and South Dakota, will rerdezvous in Chicago and leave there Tues- day morning. Many of these far-awa states will not send delegations numerically strong enough to require special trains, but in Chicago they will join forces and come the rest of the way together. Delegations from the states mentioned will come over the B. and O. railroad and are expected to arrive Wednesday before noon. A rate of $17.50 has been granted from Chicago, and tickets will be honored through to Balti- more. Five or six delegates are planning to come from Oklahoma. These will go to St. Louis and come on with the Missouri dele- gates on their special train, which is sched- uled to arrive Wednesday at 3:40 in the afternoon. The transportation manager for Oklahoma expresses great pleasure at the kindness and courtesy of the committee of ‘96 in furnishing information and adyanc- ing the interests of the delegates from the far southwest. Some of Pennsylvanias 7,000 will arrive Tuesday afternoon. One hundred and fort delegates from the counties of Indiana, Cambria, Blair, Center, Clearfield, Hunt- ingdon and Mifflin, in western Pennsylva- nia, will leave Altoona Tuesday shortly after 6 o'clock in the morning and will have over twenty-four hours in Washington be- fore the convention meetings begin. Another delegation that has planned to arrive Tuesday is that from West Virginia. Their special train will leave Grafton short- ly after 3 o'clock, delegates from Wheeling and Parkersburg starting a few hours ear- Mer, and all will arrive here about 11 p.m. West Virginia expects to send from 150 to 200 delegates. The Maryland Delegation. Maryland's close proximity to Washington will allow delegates from beyond the Dis- trict line to come and go as they please, and for that reason the excursion manager for the state has very little definite informa- tion from which to estimate,the number of delegates that may-be looked for. A large number, however, especially Paltimoreans, expect to attend for short periods, it is learned, or will come and return each day. Excursion rates are granted by the rail- reads, and it is probable that special ex- cursion trains will be run for the benefit of those in and near Baltimore. Arrange- ments are being made for a grand rally of Maryland Endeavorers and their friends from all over the country at Bay Ridge July 14, the day following the convention. Spe- cial exercises are being planned. Like most of the other New England dele- gations, that from Maine wil travel from a convenient point to New York by one of the sound lines of steamers, and from there come over the B. and O. railroad. It is be- lieved that the party will arrive here Wed- nesday about 1:80 p.m. Some of the dele- gates intend to make the trip from Port- land to Boston by sea, as well as sailing down the sound, but the official party will embark first at Fall River. The Maine dele- gation will have its headquarters in the West Street Presbyterian Church, and has very thoughtfully sent ahead of it a number ef pine cones with which to decorate its rooms. Canada’s Contingent. Canadian delegates will travel over an especially picturesque route. Those from Quebec leave for the convention Monday evening early and reach Plattsburg, N. Y., at 9 o'clock, where a steamer will be in wait- ing. Delegates will sleep aboard the boat. which will not begin sailing until 7 o'clock Tuesday morning. Then for five hours through the beautiful waters of Lake Cham- plain the travelers will watch the far-famed Adirondacks rise on the right in gigantic forms, while on the left and to the rear the mountains of Vermont fade away in the distance. Ticonderoga will be reached shortly after noon, and the delegation con- tinues from there by train to New York, arriving about 9 o'clock, and spending the night. At 7:30 Wednesday morning the journey to the convention city will be re- sumed, and a special Royal Blue line train will bring the party into the depot before 2 o'clock, leaving plenty of time for the dele- gates to register, be assigned quarters, rest awhile before dinner and attend the pre- liminary meetings in the evening. The rate for this trip is $16.50 from Montreal and $18 from Quebec. The Ontario contingent of the Canadian delegation will arrive Wednesday morning and will be not only large, according to the statement of its excursion manager, Mr. C. J. Atkinson, but also influential and rep- resentative. It will contain five of the im- portant speakers at the convention and about half a dozen others who have a place on the program. The excursion manager is arranging now a program to be carried out in the different cars while en route, con- sisting of concerts, receptions and prayer meetings. This, with the names of the leaders and participants, will be printed and placed in the hands of the excursionists as they leave Niagara Fails, their rendez- vous. Those desiring to bring bicycles were re- quested to notify the excursion manager, so that arrangements could be made for their passing the customs, and over one- fourth of the party have indicated their intention of coming with wheels. The Ca- nadian badge this year will be a button, on which appears a maple leaf in autumnal tints, with the initials “C. E” above in large letters and the words, “Our Emblem Dear,” below in small letters. The Canadian na- tional C. E. hymn is sung to the tune, “The Maple Leaf,” the dominion’s national air. The Official Badge. After many weeks of reticence and mys- tery the decoration committee has at last shown to the public the design of the offi- clal badge of the convention. Now that local Endeavorers have seen it, they are ready to agree with the members of the decoration committee that it is the pret- tiest convention badge ever issued to an international gathering of the society. It consists of a red and blue silk ribbon, with a white five-pointed star, in the center of which is woven in blue the familiar C. E. monogram. There is a celluloid pendant with gilt rim, bearing the inscription, “Fif- teenth International Convention. July 8- 18,” beneath which is an engraving of the Washington monument in the center, with the Capitol and White House on either side. The ribbon and pendant are attached to a gilt pin, stamped with the date “1896” and the word ‘ashington.” The upper half of the ritbor is red, the lower blue, while in the center is the white star, an emblem that is conspicuous in every de- sign distinctively relating to Washington's convention. The badge is not gaudy, nor ig it cheap in appearance; on the contrary, it is in excellent taste, combines the na- tional and convention colors, Bnd is very handsome. No one artist can be given the credit for its harmonious and striking design. It is rather @ composite, the product of the sug- gestions and ideas of the decoration com- mittee. The suggestion of a pendant came from one, that of the pin from another, while the adoption of the star was due to the recommendation of a third. But as finally put before ‘the public it seems des- tined to mzke the most favorable impres- sion, and it is believed it will be preserved aa @ valued souvenir of the convention. The marvel iy that such an attractive badge can be manufactured at the price of this one. -A badge is to be given to each delegate who registers, and consequently the committee has had to provide a large number, and as the funds were limited, the cost of the entire lot had to be kept at a low figure. Yet for two and one-third cents aplece the committee has secured what many believe to be badges far more hand- some than those that have been given out at other conventions, and which cost more money The chorus badges are similar to the offi- cial badge, so far as the pin and pendant are concerned. The only difference lies in the ribbon, -vhicn is longer and narrower and of one color, and in the lettering on it. The chorus badge has the word “Chorus” stamped in gilt letters diagonally across the center of the mbbon, while above is a large letter designating the different sec- tions of the chorus, A, B, C or D, as the case may be, and just below are the numerals, There are four colors of ribbons, one for each of the parts of the chorus. All scprano badges are fraise, the alto, violet; the tenor, cardinal red, and the bars, royal blue. Chairman Clark of the music committee is more than pleased with the chorus badge. He says unresery- edly that in his opinion it is even hand- somer than the official convention badge. Chorus badges will be given to choir leaders Monday evening, and by them die- tributed to the members of the chorus. Mr. Clark has called a meeting of choir leaders at the Y.M.C.A. rooms Monday at 6:30, and will then issue to them his final instructions. So far as is possible at that time, assignments of chorus members will be made Monday, and general instructions and other announcements made. For fur- ther announcements Mr. Clark desires members of the chorus to watch the special notice column of The Star, in which infor- mation will be given from time to time. Distinctive Hat Bands. Besides the badges, there have arrived from the marufacturers a supply of hat bends, with which the members of the working committee: will be supplied. ‘These are of a distinctive design, which, as in the case of the badges, has been kept a profound secret up to this time. They combire the convention colors, red, white ans blue, but in a manner not often seen. The colors are woven in stripes, in the center being a broad band of blue, on either side of which 1s a narrower stripe of white, ard the top and bottom edgez are red. In the blue stripe is stamped, in silver let- ters, the name of the committee intended to be designated, silver stars flanking the lettering. Supplics for City Palpits. Rev. Dr. Teunis 8S. Hamlin, chairman of the subcommittee on pulpit supply, has made a report to the chairman of the com- mittee of "06, as foliows: “The committee on pulpit supplies for July 12, in connection with the C. E. con- vention, has completed its labors. It has appointed a minister for the morning to every church that has applied, and in some cases for the evening, recommending, however, for the second service a platform meeting, with speakers chosen by the pas- tor of the church from the delegation hav- ing headquarters at that church edifice, or in such other way as to him seems best. it has appointed only ministers whose con- sent to serve had already been obtained in writing, and hopes that there will be no disappointments. It has put pastor and supply into correspondence in every case, and should any one appointed fall to re- spond, the pastor will have ample oppor- tunity to fill the vacancy from the large number of clergymen who will be in the city next week. It has aimed to do the best possible for every church, and hopes that the Lord’s day of convention week may be an occasion of much spiritual pow- er and blessing.” : Junior Workers. A meeting of junior workers and others specially interested in junior Christian En- deavor socteties is to be held Friday morn- ing of the convention week in the Wesley M. E. Church, led by Mr. John Willis Baer. For this meeting Mr. Clark proposes to call for the services of the select choir that furnished the music for the annual meet- ing of the District union in the Gunton Temple Memorial Church in June, and a rehearsal of this choir will soon be held. Dally meetings of choir leaders will be held from now on until the convention, as well as of the ushers who have been as- signed toduty on the platforms in the tents. The Money Returned. An interesting incident came to the at- tention of the members of the commitiee of "96 yesterday that served to relieve the strain of continuous and hard work under which they have been laboring. A colored society, recently formed in Alabama, sent to Chairman Smith the sum of seventy-five cents to be applied toward the convention expenses. Of course the money was re- turned, and with it a letter was sent cor- dially thanking the society for its interest, but stating that it has been the unaltera” ble policy of the Christlan Endeavor con- vention that the city entertaining the dele- gates pay all its own expenses. The inci- dent te interesting as showing that Chris- tian Endeavorers all over the country hav their eyes toward this city, and are an: lous for the success of the great conven- tion s0 soon to open its sessions here. The Lutheran Rally. The program for the Lutheran rally, to take place Thursday afternoon, July 9, in Luther Place Memorial Church, has been received at headquarters. There are a large number of other rallies to be held at the same time, but the Lutherans seem to be ahead of other denominations in com. pleting their program. Rev. D. Frank Gar- land of Baltimore will preside, and the music will be led by combined Lutheran Cc. E. convention choirs. From 2 until 2:30 o'clock is to be spent in getting acquainted, after which the formal exercises will com- mence with a devotional service. An ad- dress of welcome by Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler, pastor of the church, a response by Rev. Willis S. Hinman, president of the National Lutheran Christian Endeavor Union, and greetings by Rev. Dr. M. Rhodes, a trustee of the united society, will be followed by reports and business, appointment of com. mittece and election of officers. Address ere arranged for as follows: “‘Denomina- tional Loyalty Through Christian Endea. or,” by Rev. L. S. Keyser, Dayton, Ohi, “Lutheran Unity Through Christian E: deavor,” Rev. C. H. Rockey, Shepherds- town, W. Va.; “Christian’ Citizenship Through Lutheran Endeavor,” Rev. Dr. M. F. Troxell, Springfield, I1., and “Loyal to Christ Through Christian Endeavor, Rev. Dr. Sylvanus Stall of Philadelphia. After an open parliament on the question, "What has Christian Endeavor done for your church?” the exere’ses will be con- cluded with the singing of the Lutheran hymn, “Ein Feste Burg,” the audience in the meantime having gathered around the statue of Luther on the reservation in front of the church. Copies of the official program are being received from the printer in quantities, and are attracting favorable attention on ac- count of the unique cover. It is printed in blue and is entirely different from the de- signs heretofore used. _ FOURTH AT ATLANTIC Program of Exercises Dedicating the New Tron Walk.
