For a Monday morning the business in the Police Court today was unusually dull, and that fact may be taken as an evidence that Saturday night was more peaceful and prderly than for a long time past. The orly incident out of the ordinary was the presence of an ambitious kitten on the bench. The diminutive feline, in some un- explained manner, gained access to the room and attempted to divide honors with the judge in dispensing justice. The court, however, was not desirous of assistance, and the kitten was declared guilty of con- tempt and relegeted to the dock. It made vigorous resistance, accompanied by de: perate clawing and loud wails of despair, but a stalwart bailiff succeeded in carry- ing out the order of the court, and the wheels of justice once more began to re- volve, while an interesting dialogue was In progress in the corridor between the rotund guardian of the hallway, Policeman Flynn, and a witness in one of the cases. As the witness was about to enter the court room, Flynn noticed that he had in his hand two small white mice. “Kape out av there,” policeman. ‘I've got to go in, for I'm a witness,” is the reply. “Faith, an’ what are yez doing with thim varmints” ‘They are eviderce in the case.” I'm onto yez little goime,” next said nn, with a significant nod of his head.

The seventy-second annual communica- tion of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of the world will convene in Dallas, Tex., today, and continue in session for five days. The session will be mostly devoted to commit- tee work. According to the by-laws, every proposition submitted to the Grand Lodge is referred to a subcommittee for consider- ation and then referred back to the parent body. Each state, district or territorial grand lodge or grand encampment having under its jurisdiction 1,000 members or less 1s entitled to one representative in the an- nual communication. Those having more than 1,000 members are entitled te two rep- resentatives, and no more. This rule also extends to the provinces of Canada, but does not include other foreign countries, as they are independent in legislation. The present ofiicers of the Sovereign Grand Lodge are: Johu W. Stebbins, grand sire, of Rochester, N. Y.; Frederick Carle- ton, deputy grand sire, of Austin, Tex.; Theodore A. Ross, grand secreial of Bal- timore, Md., and M. Richard Muckle of Philadelphia, Pa., grand treasu: and the appointed officers are Rev. J. V enable, grand chaplain, ef Hopkinsville, “Ky.; Jas. B. Blanks, grand marshall, of Petersburg, Va.; Fredcrick S. Hunt, grand guardian, of Bridgeport, Conn., and J. R. Harwell, grand messenger, of Nashville, Tenn. The delegates from the District of Co- lumbia are: Messrs., William P. Allan and Frederick A. Stier, representing the Grand Lodge, and Joseph Burroughs, the Grand Encampment. The last published report showing the condition of the order was pubiished in 18d. It Is as follows: Sovereign Grand Lodge, 1; independent grand lodges (Ger- man empire, Australia, Denmark and Switzerland), 4; subordinate grand en- campments, 54; subordinate grand lodges, 66; subordinate encampments, 3 sub- ordinate lodges, 10,940; encampment mem- rs, 145,443; Icdge members, $1517; Re- ah lodges, 3,631, sisters, members of Rebekah lodges, 123,104; brothers, mem- bers Rebekah lodges, 102, Since then lodges have been founded in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Franc«, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Chile, Peru, Mexico and the West Indies. The most in.pertant arnong the many matters pertait.ing to the wufare and pr ity of the order that will come up fo: deration will be the disposition of amendments to the constitution, proposed at the last annual communication. Two of these propose the admission of males into the order who have arri age of eighteen years, the first of which requires that they shail be sous of Odd Fellows, and the second extends the saine privilege to all whe have actained that age. without any regard as to whether or not their fathers were members of the or der. ‘The first reads as follows: Amend article XVI, section constitution of the Sov by adding after the word ‘unive fourth iine of said section, the words ‘pro- Vided that the sons of Odd Fellows who have arrived at ti [ ci n years shall be also entitied to admission to the ord. when amended section will read: ‘No perso: itled to dat the of the ‘eign Grand Lodge in the admissicn to the orc pt free white males cf gocd aracter, who have arrived at the ag rs and who believe in a Supreme Being.

We are grateful to him for a clue to the answer to @ question so often asked, “Whence came this strange but un- welcome ‘fad'?” A fad which if submitted to parents and teachers would not be tol- erated. I have yet to see one who has not ccnsideied it an outrage on geod taste. I speak from practical experience and association with many who are forced to place such copy books before children, whom we are supposed to aid, and not retard. Can we aid them by using—well, 1 cennot say the present system, for any one who gives only a casual glance will be con- vinced that it contains no system. A change of relative position between arm and paper dces not constitute a system; the letters remain the game, the slant only is changed. In the “new system” is there a key, or any given way, to unwind one of those “wads” of “ugliness” called letters? No. The book must be placed before the pupil and he directed to “do his best to imitate the ccpy.” Weeks are spent in destroying that in the child which might have led him forth into good penmanship. Let any one interested take a pencil and attempt to draw tical lines through the letters, and he will find many slants on ch he has not calculated. An alphabet, with no key and no guide, thrown pro- miscuously between two covers Is not a copy book or book of penmanship to fill the requirements of a public school, especially as the instructors have no guide by whicn they go, and yet mvst bring out good of not more than Brood into subor- re . Parents should investigate and see if there is any system in these aew “fads” cailed “systems of penmanship;” see to it that the child has only the best book from which to copy: for if you cannot, after due test, go from start to finish intelligently, rest assured your child cannet.

A meeting of the advisory committee in connection with the approaching Union Veteran Legion encampment, of which Chairman Wright and Cols. Pearson, Kelly, Purman and Shannon are the members, will ke held at 4 o'clock this afternoon at headquarters in the Pacific building. Mat- ters relating to the encampment will be iscussed and especially those referring to the various excursions that have been planned and trips to the battlefields that the old soldiers may desire to vist while in attendance upon the annual reunion. Several other topics of importance will come up for consideration at the meet- ing. Through the courtesy of President Bryan of the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, an instrument has been placed in the headquarters of the citizens’ executive committee having charge of the Union Veteran Legion encampment. The number is + and members of the various committees desiring to communi- cate with Chairman Wright can now do so without the slightest inconvenience. ee Referred to the Coinage Laws. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I most respectfully refer Mr. Arthur S. Browne to the Senate committee on finance for the correction of any errors he may think he has discovered in the figures I quoted in my note to The Star from pages 114-5 of “The Coinage Laws of the United States, 1792 to 1894, with an Appendix of Statistics Relating to Coins and Currency. Fourth edition; revised and corrected to August 1, 1804; prepared under the direction of the committee of finance, United States Senate, March 5, 1894; submitted by Mr. Voorhees from the committee, and ordered to be printed. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1894.” But I must also express my satisfaction to Mr. Brown that he has discovered “that the coinage has exceeded the production.” This reminds me of Mr. Evarts’ reply to the question whether he believed that General Washington had thrown a silver dollar across the Potomac at Mt. Vernon. Mr. Evarts thought “it probable because, you know, silver went farther in those days than now.” N. T. issued to FOR EIGHA HOURS Proposed National Organization to Work to One End. What Labor Leadesm Say About the Proposition—Conbénation Might Be Successful. Some of the most prominent members of the Central Labor Unton of the District of Columbia are seriously discussing a propo- sition made to them by some of the labor leaders in New York city to unite with the latter in the organization into one great body of all the crafts whose national or- ganizations have expressed a preference for an eight-hour day, and also that when formed the new union shall take up the question as a unit, and push the subject to a satisfactory conclusion. President Milford F. Spohn of the Cen- tral Labor Union, and who also has a great influence among the members of the Brick- layers’ Union, of which he is also an offi- cer, today, in talking with a Star reporter on the subject of the new movement, said: “The reduction of the hours of labor is regarded by the most intelligent and ob- servant of those in the ranks of organized labor as the paramount question, under- lying all other questions involving the in- terests of the workers of the country. It is regarded by many as the key by which the labor question must be solved. For quite a period sporadic efforts have beet made to force a reduction of the hours of labor, with varying success. Fight-Hour Day. “These efforts have been local and con- fined exclusively to the large trade centers. Although the national organizations of all the crafts have In conventions declared, de- cidedly, in favor of the eight-hour work day, no general or nationally concerted ef- forts have ever been made, as the feast- bility of such a move has always been seri- ously questioned by the most prominent leaders of organized labor. It is generally admitted that a general effort would resul in failure, and the loss that labor would incur as the result of a general strike effort would be more than labor, even under favorable conditions, could sustain. It i evident that a general demand for the re- duction of hours would inevitably result in a gencral strike, as has been the case, with a few rare exceptions, when the demand has been localized. “Whether there is none of the progressiveness with the large business centers, or whether there is a radical difference in the economic en- vironments of those working at the same craft in the larger cities and those in the smaller cities, It is nevertheless a fact that the instances are rare when the demand for a reduction of hours has been made by the workers outside of citles with a popu- lation exceeding a hundred thousand.” National Organizantion. A Star reporter, in conversation today with a prominent memter of a New York trade union with reference to the atti- tude of thcse of his craft in the metropolis relative to any future effort to secure a more general eight-hour work day, w told that under the present depressed ¢ dition of trade those organizations which had secured the eight-hour day were sacis- fied to maintain it without expending their limited resources in the futile effort. to force the short day upon those who even under the most favorable trade condiions never made a demand for the reduction of the hours of labor. spirit of workers in the Many of us are convince he sail, hat nothing for the material advance- ment of labor can be expe from the small organizations in the s ies of the country. ‘They are not in a position to keep those of the large cities, while the organizations in the large cities are de- pended on to maintain them during a strike period. If these strikes were entered upon to force a shortér work day we would be rewarded for our aid, but ihe strikes are always the result of some trade dif- ference, which if successful leaves them as far from the attainment of a shorter work day as they were twenty-five years ago. “Thus the membership of the organi: tions of the large cities, which is the large majority of the organized labor of the country, cannot be decided to the least ex- tent in any effort they may make to secare better conditions by those organizations which, Micawber like, are waiting and will! ever wait for something to turn up. So there is an increasing sentiment among those of all crafts favorable to the forma- tion of national bodies composed exciu- sively of those organizations working eight hours. Under the present conditions of interrational crganization the unions of my craft in New Yerk city cannot possibly derive the least benefit. The organized membership of my craft in New York and Brooklyn ig about 5,000, Should they from any cause be forced into a lockout or enter upon a general strike, which would require a daily strike fund of $20,000, it is evident that they could not be maiatained for a week. The national organization es now constituted would be of no_ benefit whatever, and in such an exigency we would have to sustain ourselves the best we could. “There is an affiliated membersh'p of my craft of about 25,000 and the aggregate membership of the eight-hour loc is approximately 15,000), which is con the cities of New York, Frooklyn, Boston, Washington, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and Denver. The remaining 10,000 are working nine hours or longer, with no pros- pect of working less even the remote future. It is, therefore, e t that In any effort to maintain the eight-hour cay, which possibly or even probably may be necessary if the present depressed trade con- ditions continue,the nine-hour organizations could render no assistance if disposed and would not feel disposed 1f they could. It is further evident that the eight-hour or- ganizations are much in advance of those working longer hours, and as they were the pioneers in the move for a shorter work day they will be acilvely and effec- tively agitating for a six-hour work day when the nine-hour unions following in the wake conclude to demand an eight-hour day and realize the fact that until the hours of labor are reduced to such an ex- tent as to give to all an opportunity to labor the struggle to maintain abstract economic conditions is only the fighting of barren battles cver again.” ‘The exhibition of Japanese vases, bronzes, curios, &c., will continue tomorrow at Sloan's, 1407 G st.

Scarcely a day passes that one or more serious accidents do not oceur from this cause. The drivers of vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians con- stantly attempt to cross the tracks in front of the moving cars, when if they would but wait a few seconds only or cross in rear all sucn danger would be avoided. Not only this, but people stand so close to the track as to be struck and knocked down! In this conrection I suggest also that the police should keep the street, especially at 7th and the avenue, clear of the large number of idle negro boys who congregate there, as they obstruct-the passage of others and of vehicles at that dangerous crossing. Another fact that strikes me as bad manners, to say the least, is that nearly every person who first occupies a scat in a car plants himself at the end, thereby greatly incommoding those who enter later, especiaily ladies and children, who find it difficult enough at best to get cn the summer cars of the Metropolitan line, because of the very high step. If those who enter first would occupy the middle portion of the sea all this would be avoided. This same want of attention to the con- venience of others is exhibited also by those who stand in the middle of the side- walk to converse, often blocking the pas- sageway so others cannot pass. It is simply from thoughtlessness that this is done, but it is nevertheless a bad habit, and fs, to say the least, an evidence of a@ want of that politeness-and spirit of ac- commodation that is ever present among a truly cultivated and welbbred people.

During the storm Saturday the banner suspended across Pennsylvania avenue by the Central Democratic Club was blown down, or rather so damaged that it was taken down. The injury done is being re- paired, and it is expected that the banner will again be displayed today. As the weather Saturday deprived the au- dience at Capitol Park of the pleasure of hearing Mr. Grady, a number of those who were desirous to have the opportunity to listen to his eloquerice marched to the Met- ropolitan Hotel, preceded by a band, and tendered him a serenade. It seems, how- ever, that Mr. Grady had received an in- jury in one leg, due to a kick from a horse ridden by a policeman, and so he did not feel able to respond, which was a source of disappointment to all concerned. As Mr. Bryan has an engagement to speak on the 30th instant, in Martinsburg, W. Va., he will, it is expected, pass through this city on the evening of the 2th, but he will make no stop. as TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. Interesting and Largely Attended Meeting Held Yesterday. An interesting and very largely attended meeting of the members of Columbia Ty- pographical Union, No. 101, was held yes- terday afternoon at Typographical Temple. President J. D. Kehoe occupied the chair, and Mr. C. M. Robinson was secretary. After the transaction of some other mat- ters of business the special committee, composed of Messrs. James Willi chair- man; James W. Carter, Charles E. Holmes, Percy L. Moore and Frank J. Ward, to whom had been referred the question of the preparation of a plan by which the maturing obligations of the union could be met submitted a report recommending “an assessment of 2 per cent extra for six weeks (to be collected on next card day).” ‘This amount, it was stated, will meet the immediate demands, and herc- after the liabilities of the union can be met as they may fall due without any further essessment.

Expected Effect of the Injunction Granted by Judge Hughes—Waiting for the Hearing of the Case. There is a growing impression in railway circles and among business men that the action Friday of Judge Hughes of the United States circuit court of Virginia en- joining the Atlantic Coast Line from carry- ing out its reduced tariff of rates, together with that of Judge Speer of Georgia of a a few days before, will cause a cessation of hostilities between the lines of the South- ern Freight Association and the Seaboard for a month at least—the hearing of the first named case being set by the court for October 20. When, however, Judge Speer will hear argument on the case before him is not known, as the latter has not yet named a day upon which to take up the tter. here are, however, many well-informed persons who say they believe there will not be a final adjustment of the questions involved until there is a decision by the Supreme Court in the matter, and that this cannot be had for s al years. Far-Reaching Effects. The far-reaching effects of Judge Speer’s decision can be estimated when it is taken into consideration that the roads and steamship lines involved are: Alabama Great Southern, Southern, Alabama Mid- land, Brunswick and Western, Charleston and Savannah, Savannah, Florida and Western, AUanta and West Point, Western Railwa: Cape Fear and Yad- kin V al of Georgia, Savannah and Western Ocean Steamship Cincinnati, New Orle: and - cific, Clyde Steamship Company, ¢ ee Southern, East and West, Florida, Central and VPeninsular, Georgia, Georgia Midland and Gulf, Georgia Southern and Florida, Louisville and Nashville, Mallory ship Company, Merchants and Transportation Company, Old Steamship Company, Port Royal and gusta, W ton and W ritory #inias, ef the by Miners Dominion Au- and Wilming- *s all the ter- and west of the Vir- the Ohio river and east t that cov- The ern and AUanti eldon, and embra south af lying south association of association tion wit ug iattic i ered by this agreemen’ tween points on the Ohio and M and trafiic between po! ated northern and western bow s outside of the det erritory. n of the Seabonrd. jon taken by all the in the re: tion of yn, but that of the Seaboard is understcod, and a promi oficial of the latter who was asked to © hew the Seaboard regarded the mat- comp: or!
