E Convention. Vast Concourse at the Capitol Partic ipates in Exercises of an In- spiring Character. The idea of holding a mammoth mass meeting and outdoor song service at the east front of the Capitol was perhaps the happiest inspiration of all the great con- | ion. From the time the convention opened big meetings hav2 been held all over town, in the three great tents and in various churches, and these have attra d some of the largest crowds ever seen in this city, but it was not until Saturday afternoon that Washington was given an opportun- ity to see all the Endeavorers in one bod; The effect was something stupendous, and | the sight was one that will long re- membered. Almost every visitor, of made it a point to take part in the exercises, and besides these there were thousands of others who were attracted by the desire to hear the music and to see uch a remarkable gathering. They were more than pald. There was absolutely nothing lacking to make the affair a success from every point of view. In the first place the weather was superb and just suited to an open air celebration. The Marine Band was on hand, by direction of the Secretary of the Navy, and rendered a number of selections n its usual style. But after all and bove all it was the singing of the great Sndeavor chorus that struck a responsive chord in the hearts of the people, and it was no wonder that they applauded most heartliy Five o'clock was the hour set for the service, but long before that hour the crowd began to gather. The main steps on the east front of the bulldirg ,and the grass pla's on either side were roped off and reserved for the singers and the Cap- itol police were on hand to keep orde: They little to do, however, for, co sidering the size of the assemblage, it was probabiy the most orderly and well-be- haved ever seen in this city. Sergeant-at- Arms Bright had placed his men at the disposal of the committee of "9 for the tire being, and everything was done f the comfort of the crowd. The arrange- ments were perfect and were carried out to the letier. A Memorable Scene. For nearly an hour two continuous streams of people wound round the Capi- tol building, converging in front of the steps. Before the singing began there were | Probably 20,000 people banked solidly to- gether on the great stretch of asphalt to- ward the statue of Washington, and by the time the exercises were well under Way ihere must have been from ten to fifteen thousand more. There never was such a crowd in this city excepting only on inauguration days, and yet the spectacle Was vastly more attractive than when a President takes the oath of office, for then overcoats and umbrellas are the order of the day, and the general effect is duil and uninteresting. Saturday afternoon the sreat space was one sea of color, dainty summer gowns, brilliant-hued parasols, white flaunels and straw hats. It is difficult to give in words anything like a satisfac tory idea of the scene. There were liter- ally acres of humanity, ten or fifteen prob- ably, for the crowd extended toward the east almost to the mit of the grounds, und far beyond the north and south steps of the building. Thousands were unable to get near enough to hear at all well even such a volume of sound as that great cho- rus could furnish, a chorus the like of which has never before been seen in Wash- ington. A Magnificent Chorus. The singers wera grouped about the main steps, the female voices in the center mak- ing a parterre of pretty faces and bright colors, and the men on either side. Of the singers alone there were upward of 4,000. a magnificent array of trained yoic the hymns of praise und Joy so dear to the hearts of the Christian End orers. The music was of exactly the sort that was best fitted to such an occaston, lively, tune- ful and bright hymns with a swing to them so that they almost sing themselves. In front of the chorus was a flag-draped stand for the leader and the officers of the Ited Society, and back of this, but still within the roped inclosure, was stationed the Marine Band on a raised platform, The music of the band was in strong con- trast to the singing, for Prof. Fanciulli had fit to select pieces “of rather a scmber sort. He began with the pilgrims’ chorus from Tannhauser, which unfortu- rately could not be heard well ata dis- tance. Later, however, the band played a medley of patriotic airs, and this evoked pr iruatastic applause and generous cheer- ng. The Endeavor chorus, wh long be remembered by those who have at ended any of the sessions of the conven- ion, was led by Mr. Percy S. Foster. Mn ably seconded Chairman Clark dur- ing the rehearsit!s in the effort to bring the cnorus up to its high standard, and had the honor of leading on this great public «easion. The work of the chorus under his baton left nothing to be desired, and it showed the effects of its thorough and con- scientious training. The singers entered ee the bee of pe occasion and sang the hsmmns with a zeal and fervor w ee wonderful to With Mr. Fester on the stand were Pres- ident Francis E.

After the overture by the Marine Band the chorus sang “Holy, Holy, Holy,” Dr. McCrory invoked the Divine blessing and Presi Clark made a short address ap- propriate to the occasion. At Its conclusion Dr. Clark presented a handsome silk ban- ner te the local union of Cleveland for re- porting the best work accomplished m pro- moting Christlan citizenship. Last year the banner was held by the Syracuse, N.Y., city union, The banner was accepted by Dr. Tyler, who also made a short ing the medley of patriotic airs by and the chorus sang two verses of the national hymn, “Two Nations by the s to the tune of “America,” followed with the first verse of “Americ which all the vast concourse was asked to join. making a tremendous volume of song. Other hymns that were sung by the chorus were “A Royal Banner,” “Cross cf. Victory the music of Which was written by Mr. Foster and the words by Secretary Morgan of the committee of and finally that beautiful wake the So: At the conclusion of the song service a procession was formed, with the Marine Band leading, followed by the officers of the United ty, the members of the committee of the chorus and thousands of other Endeayorers. It was a tremendous and altogether a most remarkable proces- | sicn. The Ine of march was along the } © to the treasury, where the proces- sion disbanded. ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS Local Children of the Confederacy to Hold a Meeting. News Notes of Interest to All Classes of Residents and Taxpayers Told Briefly. A oting of the Alexandria branch of the Children of the Confe‘eracy has been called to take place at the residence of Mrs. D. H. Appick on King street tomorrow evening, when the formal organization of the chapter will be completed by the elec- tion of officers. There will be considerable rivalry among the young people for the honor of being the first president of the chapter. The Alexan- dria branch ts under the supervision of the Mary Custis Lee Division of Daughters of the Confeieracy. Bryan and Sewall Flag Raising. Mr. J. Marriot Hill has presented to the first ward democrats a burgee Which will bear the names of the democratic candi- dates for President and Vice President. The flag 1s being made in Washington, and will be thrown to the breeze from the pole on Windmill hill this evening, with a sa- lute of twenty-one guns. The burgee will have red borders and white center, and across the Icenter the name of Bryan and Sewall. The first ward democrats are enthusiastic supporters of “silver.” Small Damage by Fire. An alarm of fire was sounded yesterday morning shortly after 3 o'clock, and was caused by the partial burning of a row of old frame houses at the northeast corner of Payne and Duke streets. The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary, a large hole having been cut into the front of one of the houses and the building saturated with ofl before being lighted. The loss will not amount to over $500; par- tially insured. The buildings were owned by Mr. George Phillips. Strack by a Train. Randolph Scott, a five-year-old colored child, narrowly escaped being killed Satur- day evening by being run over by the Manatsas train on the Southern railway. The child, with a number of companions, wes playing on the track on North Henry street near the corner of Princess, and did not notice the approaching train. The side of the guard struck him and he was thrown several feet from the track. He was pick- ed up unconscious and carried to his home and Dr. Jones summoned. It is not thought that his injuries will prove fatal. Note Elza Penn, after an illness of some months, died at the Alexandria Infirmary late Saturday evening. Capt. W. H. Fowle, internal revenue col- lector for this district, was in the city yesterday, the guest of Mr. J. T. Beck- ham, on Upper Prince street. The funeral of the late Maj. George Duffy took place from St. Paul’s Church yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, and was largely attended. Rev. C. J. Harned of “White City, Kan., preached an excellent sermon in Trinity M. E. Church yesterday morning to a lai congregation. ——.__ Funeral of Mrs, Mary Dodson. Mrs. Mary L. Dodson, an old resident of Washington, who died at 6 o'clock on the 9th instant, was buried Saturday last at 10 o'clock from St. Matthew's Church, the Pallbearers being selected from her numer- ous girl friends. Mrs. Dodson was the daughter of James I. Flanagan and the wife of George W. Dodson, who is connect- ed with the firm of Robinson & Chery. OVER 25,000 CAME SS ee The Army of Delegates That Attended the Convention. THOUSANDS DID NOT REGISTER Scenes and Incidents of the Day of Adjouthment. —s AT. H ADQUARTERS The total registration of delegates to the fifteenth international Christian Endeavor convention reported: to committee head- quarters up to noon today was 25,776, This did not include complete reports from all the state headquarters, and Chairman W.

Delegate From Mexico. Gunna. the committee’s estimate of 50,000, made several months ago. And this in a part of the country where Christian Endeavor is not as strong as in many other sections. The officers of the United Society unite with the committee of '96 in declaring their positive belief that there are many thou- sands more delegates at the convention of ‘6 from far-away states, territories and provinces than have been present at any previous international gathering. While the weather during the convention week has perhaps not been quite as de- Ughtful as some of the Endeavorers an- ticipated, yet it has not been any more unpleasant than the weather bureau has furnished at the conventions for the past three years. Many Were Kept Away. Undoubtedly the fear of hot and un- pleasant weather has kept a large num- ‘ber from the city, In fact, a@ Star re- porter was told this morning of. three pas- tors in northern states, two of them in New York, who did everything possible to dissuade their people from ‘coming to this coavention, deflating that the weather here during July jwaa suffocating. One of these pastors eVen,went so far as to de- clare that people who came to, the con- vention of '96 woul lie from the heat. These are only &'féw of such cases, and Mr. Smith said the committee had heard of many of a similar pharacter. It is said this sort of sentinfent was quite general in the cooler states. =; 7 At Héghduarters. This was without:@oubt the busiest day of the conventiof’ a’ the Armory head- quarters. Everybody, seemed to have put off his business withthe committee of '96 and his purchastés° bf convention souve- nirs until the lasf ‘pbssible moment, The result was that tlie ggmmittee’s room was besieged with inqyirers, and the souvenir stands did a rushing buainess. . But the busiest man in thy whole building was the Joint ticket agent; ‘His office was in a small room in the rear of the hall, and a crowd of delegates anxious to extend their Uckets were waiting for him early this worning. As time passed the crowd grew, and by 10 o'clock there was a crowd of probably 500 people gathered about the door. Late this afternoon the crowd was sull there, not the same people, but just as many, and it is difficult to say when the agent will be through stamping tickets. Around the varicus state booths every- thing was lively, and the delegates were taking advantage of what will probably be their last opportunity to exchange greet- ings with their friends. A great many of the delegates will start for home after the closing services tonight, and most of the state headquarters at the armory hall will be stripped of their decorations tomorrow morning.

Later in the day he had some beer in arother saloon, and just about the time he took the fatal dose of Paris green,” he had a glass of beer in a saloon next to his house. He went in his own house, and, seating himself near the head of the stairs, he called his daughter, a child twelve years old, and seated her on his knees. “Go and tel your mother to ccme here,” he said to the child. “I'm dying because I've taken poison.” "said the daughter, “you're fool- Did you really take poison?” Yes, indeed, my child,” he laughingly, “and I’m dying. “Papa, you're fooling me,” she repeated. “Tell me the truth, did you take ison? The poison was then taking effect, and as the man was getting sick he became more serlous, and then the cfiild called for mother.

Unconsciousness soon followed, and the despondent man, whose mind had evidently become unbalanced, died before 9 o'clock. The members of his family and a number of friends wero at his bedside when he died. Because of the circumstances of his death, the physician in attendance could not give a certificate of death, and the coroner was notified, after the news of his death had been sent to the police. An officer frcm the second precinct sta- tion was sent to the house to get particu- lars of the man’s death, but was unable to learn anything, as members of the family had made every effort possible to conceal the facts. vered Sg Her Hands Burned. Considerable excitement was caused at ) o'clock this afternoon at the corner of lith and E streets northwest. An alarm was sounded and a fire engine and reel re- sponded. It appears that Margaret Hess- ler, daughter of Katherine Hessler, who keeps a restaurant on the corner of 11th and E streets, was cieaning clothes with gasoline, when the fluid ignited burning both her hands and wrists to a consider- able degree. Tie burns were very painful, but not serious. Miss Hessler was removed to an adjoining house, where, a physician was called and soon relieved the girl of her suffering. It was very fortunate that as- sistance was near, as the young lady’s dress caught fire. In Memory of Mrs. Stowe. Services in memorial of the late Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe were held last even- ing at the Lincoln Memorial Congregation- al Church, 11th and R streets northwest. Rev. Dr. Stanford of Boston, who received assistance from Mrs. Stowe, as well as from her brother, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, while a student at Hartford, was in charge of the services, and delivered an address on the life and character of Mrs. Stowe. Appropriate resolutions were adopt- ed, and a solo was sung by Miss Wright. An original poem was read by Prof. Solo- mon Brown. At the morning service of this church Rev. W. G.

E WHEELMEN | Marshals of the Different Divisions and Their Formation. LINE > OF a |THE MARCH | | Tomorrow night's bicycle parade, under [the auspices of the League of American | Wheelmen, promises to be a picturesque | and an imposing demonstration. Estimates | are made in some quarters that there will |be more than three thousand bicycles in | line, each decorated more or less elabor- | ately, some grotesquely, and carrying two | or more Chinese lanterns. | The parade is given in honor of Chris- | tian Endeavor visitors who ride bicycles, | and all such are given an urgent invitation | to join in the procession. The convention | bicycle committee has oilicially indorsed the parade and is making extensive prepa- rations for Christian Endeavor riders. Mr. John G. Mulr, chairman of the bicycle se tion of the convention excursion commit- tee, in whose hands most of the arrange- ments have been placed, has stated that from returns so far made, he feels assured that there will be in line at least 300 local Endeaverers. Of the number of visitors who wili participate, he can make no cer- tain estimate, for he cannot learn how many will remain until tomorrow evening. In his opinion the Christian Endeavor di- vislon will make a good showing, and there may possibly be.over one thousand dele- gates on wheels. Through the c urtesy of Mr. W. H. Hen- shaw, a prominent local bicyclist, Mr. Muir states that he has 400 Chinese lanterns at his disposal, which he will distribute gra- tuitously to Endeavor delegates who may call for them at headquarters in the Light Infantry Armory. They can be obtained any time today or tomorrow. If any are left tomorrow evening, they will be gt t at the rendezvous of the Endeavor ‘lon, 18th and T streets. Mr. Muir also v3 that It is proposed to decorate the wheels of all who enter with the Christian Endeavor division with the distinctive con- vention Washington "96 flags, which will be crossed in front of the handle bars. The parade will be headed by Mr. W. T Robertson, chief consul of the local divi. s:on of the L. A. W., who has been a prom- inent factor in perfecting the ments. W. K.
