Musical Part to Be Made a Feature. ata MANY ADDRES peek. One of the events of the year m local religious circles is the annual convention of the Sunday School Union of the Dis- trict of Columbia. The officers of this flourishing organiz: m are sure that the convention, to be held in the First Con- sregational Church, November 23-25, will be in every respect an advance upon the Previous conventions, and like these will leave a permanent impress upon this im- portant branch of church activity. Mr. C. H. Carrington, who ts chairman of the music committee, says that a mele chorus has been organized under the di- rection of Mr. Percy S. Foster, and that this chorus will render helpful service in leading the singing. He also says that through the kindness of the Christian En deavor commitice of the convention will be loaned a sutlici number of the music books such as were used at the July committee wade « cure a ve neral rep: Sunday schovis of the Di vention Circular letters to the various schools called for the selection of a proportionate number of delegates, and e€&ch of th delegates is to be provided, in advan conventic committ sent the ery effort to se- ation of the rict at the con- the convention, with the jn this connce al the urges in from all bad may comprising seven hundred de} n received.

Farewell words, with prayer and benediction, Rev. S. M. Newman, D.D, aie Street and Rend Improvement, To the Editor of The Evening Star: The proposed assessment on bicycles in this city will meet with general approval if the proceeds can be expended in the proper repair and preservation of our thor- oughfares. The condition of the surface of the streets of Washington and of the drives in the government reservations may seem to be comparatively good to the general public, but to the lovers of the whec!l—the cycle and the carriage—this subject is growing in interest, as the pieasure of rid- ing is being lessened by the faulty charac- ter of the pavements and the negleci of the drives in the public parks. The costly and beasted beauty of our streets is rapidly disappearing in their hills and hollows, and the “puddings” daily vlastered upon them, and a continued system of poor construc- tion and cheap repairs will but increase the aggravation. This should be obviated by the expenditure of the small arount al- lowed for the purpose in the employment of skilled labor in making repairs and @ careful supervision in construction, so that the light use to which new pavements in this city are subjected will not badly wear or disfigure them within a reasonable pe riod. Quantity, not quality, appears to have been the demand in <his department, Reverse the system and profit by the re- sults. The drives in the public parks, ft is known, are under the supervision of our fellow townsman, Col. J. M. Wilson, and it would be difficult to find a Wasningtonian who would holé him resvonsible for thelr neglect. Insufficiency of funds, it ts be- Heved, is the cause, and no improvement in their care can be expected without ade- quate appropriation for the purpose. Com- pare the drives in the White Lot, monu- ment grounds and the rest of the mall to the public drives in any city in this coum try—the one the property of tne cliy and the other the property of the general gov- ernment—and the comparison will become odious indeed. Let us hope for something better during the coming year. LUKE MARSH,
