What the Official Registration Shows as to Numbers. A statement of the registration reported at headquarters was made In the tents last evening, wnich showed that the exact fig- ures of the total registration are 31,112. It is believed that several thousands of the delegates, probably more than eight thousand, failed to register, so that with the local Endeavorers and members of the convention chorus fncluded, it is estimated that fully 49,000 wearers of the C. E. mon- ogram have been within the limits of the city of Washington for the past six days. The greatest registration ever reported at a Christian Endeavor convention was 56,000, which were the figures last year at Boston. Of this number 28,000 were from Massachusetts alone, and 40,000 reported from New England, leaving 16,000 delegates from the country at large. More than that number have visited the capital from out- side its Immediate vicinity, so that in this respect Washington's total compares most favorably with the largest of previous con- ventions. An official statement has been issued by Chairman Stowell of the registra- tion committee show: the totals by stat hich are as foilow: 28 3 $32 287 3S Peunsyly: 83 Rhed» Island. h Curolina Florida. seorg!: fdaho § South Dakota Tilinots 1,053 Tennessee 462 Texas.

DOUGLASS MAKES AN ADDRESS Thinks There Should Be a Woman on Police Court Bench. HELPING THE POOR The first annual convention of-the Na- tional League of Colored Women began this morning at the Fifteenth Street Pres- byterian Church, Rev. F. J. Grimke, D. D., pastor, and will continue for three days and evenings. The attendance was excel- lent, nearly the entire auditorium being filled. The church was beautifully decorated with flags and bunting and waving growing Plants. At 10:15 o’clock the convention was called to order by Miss A. V. Thompkins of .Washington, who said she had been re- quested by Mrs. Helen A. Cook, the presi- dent of the league, as she was herself ill, to do so. Miss Thompkins then continued the duties of chairman. After prayer by Mrs. M. L. Meriwether of Washington Miss Thompkins read the ad- dress of welcome prepared by Mrs. Cook, and this was followed by a long address by Mrs. Helen A. Douglass, -widow of I'red- erick Douglass, who, among other things, sald: “Ever since George Washington and Bet- sey Ross put their heads together to evolve Old Glory, woman has been doing her part in lifting the nation up toward all Old Glory ought to signify.” Coming down to practical questions of to- day, Mrs. Douglass said: “Would the wo- men of Washjngton unite on the work of purifying the alleyways, breeders of dis- €ase and moral death, shielded as they are metimes behind the fine houses of the West End for the rent they pay, these al- leys and the Division itself, intrenched though it may be in the favor of Congress, would disappear. “There 1s another department cf public interest in which it may be that this Wo- man’s League may some time serve the ends of both humanity and justice—the Po- Nee Court of our city. It is our duty as workers for public morality to look over carefully the Police Court records, that we may, know for what reason and in what manner the long line of offenders are sum- moned to appear in court. “No one can read these reports without observing with what alacrity our brave preservers of the public peace snatch up tiny little boys and poor old, homeless men and women and present them promptly at court. “By what perversity of justice does it happen that the taking of a human life by the rich and thoughtless !s made the occ: s' of excessive solicitude and lentency on the part of officials, while the sinking down upon the sidewalk of a worn-out old man, and the innocent picking up of a few mag- nolia blossoms by an ignorant child are promptly made the occasion of arrest and detention? Such irregularities of justice turn the heads of the poor against the admintstra- tion of law and create in their minds the impression that Its province Is to protect the interests of the rich, but not those cf the poor. We need not only our police ma- trons, but a woman as associate judge of the Police Court and as warden of the wo- men’s department of the jail.” The Delegates. The following was the list of delegates as reported: Washington, D. C.—Mis. Helen A. Cook, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Slade, Mrs. Fannie E. Smith, Miss Luli: S. Chase, Mrs. Anna E. Murray, Miss Emma F. G.

Jordan. All the reports contained much that was very en- couraging to those interested in the cause, but that from Baltimore was so highly complimentary to the people of that city that, after Mrs. Collett finished reading her report, the chair, Miss Thompkins, said she desired to bear witness to the fact that Baltimore, now as in the past, even in slavery days, was in the van of movements which have for their object the upbuilding of the colored race. Her remarks occa- sioned loud and long continued applause, as did also those of Miss Georgia Wash- ington as she recounted the many kind- me toward the colored people of Ala- bama by the white citizens there. Committees Appointed. Chairman Thompkins announced the ap- pointment of the following committees: Resolutions—Mrs. F. J. Coppin of Phila- delphia, Miss A. H. Jones, Kansas City; Miss Ruth M.

Several thousand Christian Endeavorers added an extra day to the gteat convention today by making the pilgrimage to Mount Vernon, where interesting exercises are to be carried out this afternoon! under the aus- pices of the United Socfety. Boats left for Mount, Yernén twice durlag the forenoon and again at 2 and 3 o'clock this afternoon, and it )was‘estimated this afternoon that the four bo&ts had carried down upward of five of sl thousand peo- pe. Wherever there are two-or three Chris- tian Endeavorers gathered together one may be certain there*will be singing, and from every boat the strains of Endeavor hymns were wafted across the placid wat- ers of the Potomac. i For the majority of the crowd it was the first visit to the tomb f the first President, and for these especiall¥ the fay was a most enjoyable one. Many went, down on the electric road, and they, too,'did not forget the saving grace of song. The exercises at the tomb will be held after the arrival of the 3 o'clock boat this afternoon, and, while comparatively simple, they are expected to be quite impressive. Near the tomb an Endeavor tree 1s to be planted. It will be known as “the peace oak,” and will be imbedded by President Francis E. Clark. Then the march will be taken up to the mansion, and there brief services will be held, consisting of appro- priate addresses by Dr. Clark, Secretary Baer and others, and the singing of a number of hymns, * 1 Stage Employes in Convention. Stage employes, to the number of 120, are attending the annual meeting of the Inter- national Association of Theatrical Stage Employes at Detroit, Mich. The annual excursio; and banquet of the association will be one of the features of the week. WORK OF THE TEAM How the Senators Have Been Play- ing in the West. HAVE HAD CONSIDERABLE BAD LUCK The Mercer Incident in the Cincin- nati Game. THE PLAYERS — COMMENT ON Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 12, 1896. No one who has witnessed the recent play of the Cincinnati club will withhold praise that is rightly due them. Winning twenty-one of the last twenty-five games is ‘evidence of the wonderful work Cupt. Ew- ing is getting out of his men. Still, with all their great flelding and timely batting, their exasperating bunting ond base run- ning, and good fortyne—for they are en- Joying a run of it—the Washingtons should have taken two out the three games. Ex- ceptionally brilliant fielding on the part of Joyce's band was not really essential to stop the onward march of the Reds. Good, common, every-day all playing was all that was required; and because they failed to do this the Senators have now lost five straight games. ‘The error column does not tell the story. What are known in base ball category as “dumb” plays worked ail the mischief. It may also be truthfully d_that Umpire Sheridan did not give the Senators a single close decision in the frst two games. McJames pitched winning ball opening game. In the third inning, after one-was out, McJames and McGuire had @ mix-up on a hit in front of the plate, on which tisher reached first. Burke's easy tly droppea sate between two fielders. At- ter Fisner was ou at the plate on Hoy’s hit to short, Millek’s base on balls filled the bases. McPhee hit an easy-looking fly to right. Lush got under it, but the sun Diinded him ana three runs crossed the plate when the ball dropped safe two feet away with’ that “dull, sickening thud.” Smith's run in the fourth was due to Sher- idan not seeing a play on which the Ger- man was out by a yard; and two more runs were given the locals on a fumble, and a muff of a fly ball. Not counting a couple of Senators who were caught nap- ping on the bases, it is apparent that tne Keds, with all their perfect fielding, did not carn the game. In the second contest the Washingtons were outplayed at every point, and there is no wail coming of what might have been. Saturday's same started out like a Wash- ington victory. The Cincinnati players huve a thorough respect for Mercer's abil- ity, and at no time did they hit him hard. The break came, however, when it was least looked for, and many’ of the visiting “1ks, who were rooting for the Senators, Were disappointed. Mercer's wild throw to catch Burke napping at second was re- sponsible lor one run in the third. In the fifth, Washington's hopes “went up in the air.” Peitz hit safely. Dwyer made a poor bunt to Mercer, who turned quickiy to second, only to find that neither O'Lrien nor De Montreville were within sevent live feet of the bag. Perhaps Mercer mis wok Lush for the baseman. At any rate before the ball was returne1 from the fence, Peitz and Dwyer were on third and second, when both should have been retired. Peitz was caught at the Plate. Two men scored on Hoy’s sing! Hoy was foreed at second, McPhee wa hit and Vaughan scratched out an inficl hit. With the bases filled, the climax cam: While trying to catch the runner off iirst, Mercer again threw Into space, and three men ambled home. After that’ there was trouble all around. Joyce lectured Mercer and Mercer sulked. It was anything but a pleasing perforn ance from a Washingten point of vie Mercer undoubtedly had reason to fe vexed, but it was unfortunate that he should display his displeasure £0 openly. The men behind him worked hard to win his game, as they always do, and the one error of judgment was not cue to care- lessness, but rather to eagerness on the part of the Infielders to get Dwyer's bunt. I cite these plays not alone to show how the games were lost, but also to snow how every crror of skill and brain was made at an ill-lucky moment—with men on bases. The team is again hitting the ball, and with an iniprovement in fielding and a fair share of luck will soon stop thei - ward slide. sles in the The Cincinnati Base Ball Park is laid out something like the Washington _ ball grounds, and has a right field almost as surny as the ene at National Park. Al- though twenty minutes’ distant, by electric car, from the business center of town, the West avenue park is situated among, and surrounded on all sides, by business and manufacturing buildings. It is a decidediy pretty little park, with its well-kept di: mond and stretch of green field, as level as a fluor. The outtield is bordered by a sloping embankment, and a great back- ward running catch is ally made by the fielder running up this green slope and Picking the ball off the fence. The fence varies from others in that it di splays a great number of railroad advertisements and holds out numerous inducements to hard-hitting batsmen in the shape of gifts for hitting certain portions of it. There are several prizes for driving the ball over the fence. For hitting a certain sign the batsman receives a round-trip ticket to a famous resort. Another advertiser sets a somewhat doubtful example by offering a crate of wine to the batter hitting his sign: and a third offers $25 in gold. 1t may not be out of place to add that the latter two signs are so far out and so small that a District Guard sharpshooter would experi- ence some irouble in hitting either with the aid of an army rifle. The grand stand is not very large, but is a comfortable structure, of steel and wood; it has several tiers of seats on a line with the field, and about fifteen rows of folding chairs on the floor above. The press boxes are exceptionally well located. On the right of the grandstand is the big 50-cent covered stard, and ad- Joining this are the bleachers, which run out back of the right fielder, and hold about 2,500 spectators. Accommodations for a thousand more 25-cent patrons are provided near the left field fence. The to- tal sealing capacity is about 8,000. The park is not so deep as that at the capital, and unless a ball is hit over the fence or into right field, the batter is lucky to get beyond second on a long drive. ‘The pa- tronage of the games in Cincinnati in- cludes the solid business men of the town, and thousands of ladies turn out on Fri- days—ladies’ days. While the Cincinnati people are naturally great “pullers” for their home club, one can travel a long way and not find a crowd that is fairer in SPCEPSOSREL SEDC SSE SSE DOTS “A dying anchorite,” said Sidney Smith, “would be tempted to eat it.” He didn’t Liebig Company’s Extract of Beef but it would be true enough of any of the delicious soups, sauces or made dishes in which this famous product is , used. . oe: Your grocer knows the genuine, dso can the it in‘bine on the jar? ee 12 PCTOO OTE SS OST OOOOOOSEEDESO® FINANCIAL FINANCIAL.

There is one thing, however, Cin- einnatians cannot stand, end that is to have their pitcher hit hard or show poor control. No sooner does he show a little Weakness, and “take him out! take him oui!” comes from all parts of the ground. And he is usua!ly taken out, too.

Ewing dropped the ball, but the satchel did not escape a vig- orous kick. The grip contained the play- ers’ spare change and a few watches. Luckily McJames’ wes the only one to show the effects of Ewing's anger. O'Brien's tielding is excelient. He is also hitting the ball hard, but seems unfortu- nate in placing them safe. Lush hit the center field fence here with a line drive, and McGuire came within a foot of putting a hit over the left field fence. McGuire is hitting in his old-time form. “Silver” King disappointed a good many Cincinnati fans bs not pitching a game here. King was called home by a telegram. Brown has been handicapped with charley horse, and is now out of the game for a few days with a badly torn finger nail. When Bryan's name was posted on the score board at the Cincinnatl park Friday afternoon, some one yelled, “Three cheers for McKinley!” and they were given with enthusiasm enough to jar the foundations of the grandstand. Lush has been doing better work since his shift over to center field. Cincinnati people think Mercer is grevtest pitcher in the league—or at Is they thought so untill Saturday. J. A. H. a eae SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The Interesting Meeting Held at Cen- tral Hall. One of the most important meetings of the Christian Endeavor week was that held Sunday afternoon at Central Hall to dis- cuss the question of Sabbath observance. About 2,000 attended, notwithstanding the intense heat. The meeting was led by Mr. William Shaw of Boston, treasurer of the United Society, in place of Rev. Dr. Cuyler of Brooklyn, who was detained at home by sickness. Mr. Percy Foster of Wash- ington led the singing. In opening the meeting Mr. Shaw refuted certain state- ments that have been published regarding the actions of Christian Endeavor delegates on Sunday, and in the name of the officers of the United Society he repudiated articles written by them for a New York paper, which had published them on Sunday against the protests of the authors. Interesting and forcible addresses were delivered on the subject of Sabbath ob- the at servance by Mrs. Henry T. McEwen of New York, Rev. J. B. Davison of Mil- waukee, Rey. Alexander Alison of New York and Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts of this city, secretary of the bureau of reforms. The speake all agreed that Christian Endeavorers should unite not only in per- sonal observance of the Sabbath,but should use every effort to cause the enactment of laws looking to a more complete installa- tion of the idea of Sunday rest and Sunday observance in this country. Mrs. McEwen called attention to the work that was being done by the Christian women of this coun- try on this line. Mr. Davison gave an out- line of his work in the west, among the for- eigners and among the labor unions, and Messrs. Crafts and Alison spoke enthusi- astically for a more general observance of the Sabbath in America. Sees Transfers of Real Estate. Jacob Jones et ux. to Jullus I. Atchison, Wm. T.
