WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., July 17, 1896. ‘The enthusiasm of the attendants at the evening meeting was sufficient to cause the coolness of the weather to pass un- noticed, and the earnestness of the mem- bers of the W. C. T. U. is in a measure be- coming contagious. Many of the residents at the Grove make it their object to attend all the meetings, and it may well be said that in the selections of principal speakers the union is to be complimented, and the audience to be congratulated for their op- portunity of listening to such addresses as have so far been given. Mrs. Haslup pre- sided, Miss Sally Brooke read the selection of Scripture from Isaiah v, Miss Jennie Smith led in prayer, and the singing was led by Prof. Traill. Mrs. M. L. Welles was the principal speaker, the subject of her theme being “Who is Responsible?” The speaker has special reasons for gdvocating the cause of temperance, her crippled condi- tion resulting from a carriage accident among the hills of Georgia, caused by a drunken driver. In her address she said: “The shame of our government is its partnership with the saloon. Although it 1s to be acknowledged that this condition is caused by the nation’s Gebt, on account of the war, yet, with all of our boasted civilization and Christianity, we do what China will not, and that is, take by reason of the vices of our people that which will help to support the government. The church, school house and the home are the bulwarks of this nation, and to pro- tect these the 800,000 women of the union are enlisted for life. From prison statistics {t appears that 50 per cent of the criminals are under twenty-one years of age; that 45 per cent aré children of church members; that 75 per cent were at one time members of a Sunday school; that to the saloon and the liquor traffic may be charged nearly the whole responsibility for the existence of the criminal classes. The need of the hour is the abolishment of this cause of sin and misery.” At the conclusion of the address a conse- cration meeting was held, under the charge of Mrs. H. D. Walker. Many persons gathered around the speakers’ stand, and exercises of a devotional character were held, to the personal gratification of the participants. 2 ————e A Great Time. Brom the Chicago Post. “Did Fisher have a good time on his little outing?” “Yes, indeed. I only saw him for a min- ute and had no time to ask any questions, but I could see that the skin was peeling off from his nose, his neck was so sore from the sunburns that he could not wear a col- lar, his hands were blistered so that he could hardly use them, and he complained that he had rowed the boat until his arms were so lame that he couldn’t hold a pen. Oh, he must have had a magnificent time! ee An English Bull. From the London Spectator. The fatted “bull” can grow as well on English ground as on Irish. This very after- noon @ lady of my acquaintance, having some slight difference of opinion with her husband, and getting perhaps just a little impatient (as I thought, because she had not quite the best of the argument), ex- claimed: “Oh, if you'll only hold ‘your tongue, you may say just what you like.” The lady had no connection whatever with Ireland. DISTRICT TURNERS Popular Athletic Organization of Ger- man-A‘nericans, esti)? Sera OBJECTS OF THE SOCIETY It Stands for Freedom, Fairness, Strength’ and Truth. VE THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS The German Turners of this city, perhaps better known as the Columbia Turner Verein, is but one organization of a number that extends through the whole of this country, as well as across the ocean. As an organization, national in character, its membership is large, and represents the pick of the German residents. Locally the membership is quite large, and likewise active. The good of the organization can hardly be appreciated outside of those who belong to it. Cultivating a social inter- course and improving the muscular de- velopment of the’ members are the two prime objects of the association, which, in turn, can be divided into a number of other reasons. The word Turner means simply regulated physical exercise, and comes from the same root as tournament. A Turner ts one who exercises for his benefit alone, as opposed to the word athletic, in its profes- Julius H. Duehring, President Columbia Turn Verein. sional se The aim of the society 1s to furnish, what Americans would term it, an all-round and uniformed development of all the human faculties. s respect it dif- fers from athletic sbatic sports, where one set of muscles are aeveloped gen- erally at the expense of others. The organi- zation believes in a progressive system of development, not with the idea to make champions, but str y men. The mott ymbolic, and the cross-like monc n, F. F. S. T., stands for Truth. ‘The organization was founded in 1810 by Frederick Ludwig Jain. The best part of Europe at that time was at the feet of Na- poleon, and “Father Jahn” came to the conclusion that the only way his beloved “reedom, Fairness, Strength and fatherland could rid liseif of French op- pression was by the systematic physica! education of the German people. While not a man of education, “Father Jahn" had great personal attraction, and he opened the first gymnasium in Berlin in 1811. He met with considerable opposition, and final- ly was thrown into prison as being danger- ous to the government. The opposition to the cymnasium did not disappear until 1 when King Fredertek William IV permit- ted its reopening and encouraged gymnastic exercises. At present gymnastics are com- in the German army, and the vie- tories in the war of IS12 have been ascribed to this cause. In This Country. The first society in the United States was started at Cincinnati the latter part of 1848, a second soclety being established soon after in New York. Two years later there were thirteen societies in the United States, and the first convention was held in 1850 at Philadelphia. There were 150 societies in this country at the outbreak of the war. Many of the societies were compelled to disband, however, on account of their mem- bers enlisting, but soon after the war they were reorganized, stronger and better than before. The national body of the Turners meets every two years, and is called the Nordameri Kanischer Turner-Bund, which onsists of thirty-four districts, represent- ing over 300 societies, and nearly 50,000 members, with property valued at over $8,000,000. The organization is rather strict in its membership, and no person will be admitted -under eighteen years of age. He must either be a citizen of the United States, or promise that he will become such when he attain his majority, and must be of good char- acter. The desire is not only to make a young man strong—physically strong—but also to teach him that, while he need not forget his fatherland, he should become a good citizen of the United States. A synop- sis of some of the principles of the society is as follows: “We believe that in the spread of know!- edge and cultivation of moral laws is the only means of reform of existing social and political conditions. “Supreme sovereignty of the people: leg- islation for the people and by the people: direct popular vote for President and Rep- resentatives; adoption of the Australian ballet system. “The repeal of all laws of individual states conflicting with the federal Consti- F.

Cluss, corresponding secretary; Chr. Diete- rich, instructor, and Jac. Immich, financial secretary. Among those who became mem- bers later were John Holzschuh, Jac. Karr, Charles Mades, Hoffa brothers and others. The membership of the society was very small in the beginning, but after a few years, as the membership increased, they Secured a good gymnasium and meeting room on ¥th street opposite the Center Market. ‘The young club took an active part. in the athletic meet held at Baltimore in Sep- tember, 1852. In the year following the first flag was vresented to the association. This, with another flag which shortly after- ward came into their possession, was car. ried through the civil war and is now the ey of the present Columbia Turner erein. In the year 1856 there was dissen- sion in the ranks of the Turners on account of the slave question, a number of the mem- bers withdrawing and calling themselves the Washington Turn Verein. In 1861,,how- ever, both societies were again united. Turners in the War. Immediately upon the breaking out of the civil war the Turners organized as a mili- tary body, uniformed themselves at their own expense, and offered their services to Lieut. Stone, the commander of the city forces, who then furnished them with arms. At the first inauguration of President Lin- coln the stalwart Turners acted as his body- guard, and when shortly after matters be- came serious they were mustered into the service of the United States, forming two companies. Turners Ricks and Ohl were the first from the District of Columbia to give up their lives for the preservation of the ion, being killed in a skirmish near Great Falls. Later the Washingion in- structor, Fritz Brann, then commander of the 68th New York Regiment, fell in the battle of Chancellorsville, Va. Joseph Ger- hard, who commanded the Turners during their ninety days’ service, afterward rose to the rank of brigadier general. = After the war some of the members of the old organization for certain reasons withdrew, and on June 27, 1837, formed the Columbia Turn Verein, which is still in ex- istence. The new body had by the year of 1880 attained a very prosperous condition, and & prominent place among the soci- eties of the District. A year later they purchased the Washington gymnasium, at the corner of 6th and C streets northwest, which was then under the management of Mr. George Davis. Shortly after taking Possession of their new quarters the local club took first prize at the athletic meet of the eastern district of the North American Gymnastic Union, held in this city. In 183 the class taking part in the national meet at Milwaukee captured one of the first prizes in competition with ninety-three teams, composed of eight to sixteen men each. Then again at the meet of the east- ern district, held at Paterson, N. J., in June, 1895, they also took one of the best prizes. During the summer of 1892 the convention of the national body was held in this city, the local organization undertaking the gi- gantic task of entertaining the many dele- gates, which was made possible by the financial assistance rendered the club by its many friends. The club gymnasium is now located at 413 3d street northwest, where they have all conveniences pertain- ing to a first-class athletic club. The pres- ent officers afe as follows: President, Julius Duehring; vice president, F. A. Eckstei treasurer, Alfred Wild; recording secretary, Eugene Gabriel; corresponding secretary, C. Reiter; instructor, Richard Scelblich; as- sistant instructor, Carl Hennege; lbrarian, Max Schmidt; property man, Max Kahler: assistant property man, Otto Schroeder. The Officers. Mr. Julius Duehring, the president, has been a member of the Turn Verein for the past ten years, and previous to that time was a fnember of the junior class since he was ten years of age. He has always taken an active interest in the club, and for seven ears was its instructor. The society has ever had an officer who worked with more energy and ambition for the welfare of the club than Mr. Duehring. Special honor is due him for the excellent way he trained the team which competed for prizes in the last two years. He makes an excellent presiding officer, is well up on parliamen- lary law, and conducts the meetings in an excellent way. Mr. Fred A. Eckstein, the vice president, has been connected with the society for twenty years, first a member of the Junior class, and later has held nearly every office in the club. He has taken an active interest in all matters, and was a member of all the teams sent to compete in outside cities in the last few years. He has been especially active as a member of the enter- lainment committee, and has done good work as a member of this body. Mr. Alfred Wild, the treasurer, has been a member of the society for a good many years, end is ever watchful over the finan- cial affairs of the club. Mr. Eugene Gabriel, the recording secretary, has been a member about six years, and is very energetic and progressive. No debate is complete without him. Mr. Relter, the corresponding secre- tary, resigned from office during the week on account of leaving the city, and Mr. Auracher was elected to suceed him. He is a comparatively new member, though well known throughout the country. Mr. Rei- ter’s new occupation will take him from one place to another, and he may be sure of an office in whatever Turn Verein he may happen to make his stay for any length of time. Mr. Richard Scheiblich, the instructor, has been a meember for four years, and is one of the best athletes in the city. He was a member of the team that took part in the competition last year at Paterson, N. J., but unfortunately injured his foot a week before the meet. The assistant in- structor, Mr. Carl Hennege, is a compara- tively new member. He is ambitious and promises to become one of the best. Mr. Max Kahler, the property man, is one of the old reliable members, and was attached to the junior class in his boyhood. He e1 tered the senior class upon attaining his majority, and is one of the most hard working and conscientius members. Mr. Max Schmidt, the librarian, has been a member for about five years, and has done excellent work on the entertainment com- mittee. He was one of the team that car- ried off the honors in competition at Pat- erson, The Members. The following is a complete roster of th« members of the society in the Distric Alexis Adt, C.

A Cincinnati girl who is soon to become the bride of a West Point graduate recently has received a birthday gift from her be- trothed, over which she is particularly de- lighted. She has worn military buttons in almost every conceivable manner at various times as hatpins, as weights on the ends of a long sash ribbon tied in front, and in other ways, but never before as garter buckles: Thty are set in the center of fluffy lace, on true blue shirred silk elastic, and one of the buttons opens upon touching a tiny spring, disclosing a picture of her brave soldier boy. She gloats over the other girls as she shows them, for they, poor things, have only ordinary, every-day silk heart buckles, with their sweethearts’ pictures. —— Preoceupation.

What do you mean May—“Why, he stroked Kis college boat, you know.”* Ernst Schoeliner, ———E NO CONCLUSION Oorrespondence With Great Britain as to an Arbitration Treaty. SIX ARTICLES LORD SALISBORY'S Mr. Olney Criticises His Proposition as Merely Imitation. THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION The official correspondence between the governments of the United States and Great Britain, respecting the establishment of a general system of arbitration, published last evening, bears out in all essential fea- tures the statements previously made by The Star on the subject. Although it makes a sensible advance toward the adoption by the two English- speaking nations of the principles of arbi- tration as the means of settling disputes between themselves, it is unsatisfactory in that it gives no promise of a speedy con- clusion of treaties embodying the arbitra- tion principle for the settlement of either or both of the two great open issues between the two nations,for at the date of exchange of the last note, one from Secretary Olney to the British ambassador here, dated with- in a month past, points of the most vital nature in the case not only of the Venezu- elan question specifically, but of the general arbitration proposition as well, were still the subject of discussion without much ex- pectation of an early adjustment. Notable Features. Notable features of the correspondence re the fact that, whereas Mr. Bayard, by instruction of Secretary Olney, proposed negotiations at Washington respecting the Venezuelan boundary dispute, Lord Salis- bury broadened it into a general arbitration scheme, following a lead set by the late Secretary Gresham in the spring of 1895; that Secretary Olney later insisted upon disassoclating the two subjects, evidently fearing an entangling alliance otherwise; that as to general arbitration the issues which still prevent an agreement are the indisposition 0: the British government to include territorial disputes, save with the addition of provisions that, in the estima- ton of Secretary Olney, will render tb tempt at arbitration ‘nugatory, there are no means of making the findings of the arbitrators binding upon the parties or of removing them from the possibility of infinite appeals. As to the Venezuelan matter specifically the difficulty that cannot be overcome is the refusal of the Britisi to subject to the action of the arbitration the territory upon which British subjects Nave actually settled. “Imitation arbitra- tion” is what Secretary Olney designa’ Lord Salisbu project, while the British premier criticises Secretary Olney’s plan as calculated to result in evils worse than war in the institution of innumerable suits to recover claimed territory. Lord Salisbury Draft. Lord Salisbury submitted the draft of a treaty of arbitration as a basis of nego- tiations. It is composed of six articles. The first provides for the appointment by the United States and Great Britain of two more permanent judicial officers, one of whom is to be designated by his own na- tion to act as an arbitrator, to act with one named by the other side, on the appearance of any difference between the two powers which cannot be settled by negotiations. The second article provides for the se tion by the two arbitrators of an umfire to act between them. The remainder of the draft is as follows: . Complaints made by the nationals of one power against the officers of the other; all pecuniary claims or groups of claims, amounting to not more than £100,000, made on either power by the nationals of the other, whether based on an alleged right by treaty or agreement, or otherwise; all clims for damages or indemnity under the said amount; all questions affecting diplo- matic or consular privileges; all alleged rights of fishery, access, navigation or commercial privilege, and all questions re- ferred by special agreement between the two parties, shall be referred to arbitration, in accordance with this treaty, and the award thereon shall be final. “4. Any difference in respect to a question of fact, cr of international law, involving the territory, territorial rights, sovereignty or jurisdiction of either power, or any pe- cuniary claim or group of‘claims of any kind, involving a sum larger than £100,000, shall be referred to arbitration under this treaiy. But if in any such case, within three months after the award has been re- ported, either power protests that such award is erroneous in respect to some issue of fact, or some issue of International law, the award shall be reviewed by a court composed of three of the judges of the su- preme court of Great Britain and three of the judges of the Supreme Court of the United States; and if the said court shall determine, after hearing the case, by a ma- jority of not less than five to one, that the said issue has been rightly determined, the award shall stand and be final; but in de- fault of such determination it shall not be valid. If no protest is entered by either power against the award within the time limited it shall be final. ‘S. Any difference which, in the judg- ment of either power, materially affects its honor or the integrity of ite territory, shall not be referred to arbitration under this treaty, except by special agreement. “6. Any difference whatever, by agree- ment between the two powers, may be re- ferred for decision by arbitration, as here- in provided, with the stipulation that, un- less accepted by both powers, the decision shall not be valid.” The Venezuelan Boundary. During the progress of the correspond- ence Secretary Olney notified Sir Julian that our government would not be at lib- erty to include the Venezuelan boundary case within the scope of a general arbitra- tion treaty, although it would weleome a settlement of that controversy by a special treaty. Secretary Olney argues that to meet the ease Lerd Salisbury’s plan must be amend- ea by adding one or more members to the commission, so that it can reach a result and not become abortive; that the com- mission should have power to ascertain the facts pertaining to the occupation of disputed territory by British subjects, and that the proviso for the exception of terri- tory occupied by British subjects should be ‘stricken out or replaced by a proviso giving to their occupation such weight as equity and internaticral law require. -Imitation and Genuine Arbitrati: In the last ter of the series, dated June 22, 1806, Secretary Olney devotes him- self to answering Lord Salisbury’s state- ments respecting the general arbitration proposition, beginning with the statement that our government cannot refrain from hoping that persistent effort in the line of the pending negotiations will have results which, if not all that the enthusiastic ad- vocates of international arbitration antict- pate, would be decided advance upon anything heretofore achieved in that di- rection. He says that he cannot reply to the suggestion that a separate convention based upon the first three articles ef the draft should be made until it is ascertain- ed what article 5 is to form part of the convention. Hs refers to Lord Salisbury’s plea for freedom of action as meaning de- liberately to reject an award after enter- ing on an arbitration, and says his lord- ship’s real position is that there shall be no genuine arbitration at all; there shall be the usual forms and ceremonies, a s0- called arbitral convention, hearings, e cence and arguments, but as a grand r sult, instead of a binding adjudication only an opinion without legal force or sanction, unless accepted by the parties. The vital difference between the two proposals, he says, is manifest—under the British plan the parties enter into arbitration and de- termine afterward, when they know the result, whether they will be bound or not. Under the United States proposal the par- ties enter into an arbitration having de- termined beforehond that they will be bound. The letter is a genuine arbitra- tion, the former is a mere imitation. The plan of Lord Salisbury, he says, is that all the forms and ceremonies of arbitration should be gene through with, but with lib- erty for either party to reject the award if not to its liking. It is respectfully sub- mitted by Secretary Olney that a proceed- ing of that sort must have a tendency to = bring all arbitration into contempt; that each party to a dispute should decide to abide by an award before entering into it at all, and, once entering into it, should be irrevocably bound.
