Preparing for the Annual Election— Fifty-Nine Societies Were Repre- sented—Business Transacted. Fifty-nine societies were represented at the regular meeting of the executive com- mittee of the District of Columbia Chris- tian Endeavor Union, held last evening in the vestry of Calvary Baptist Church. President Miles M. Shand presided, and conducted the opening song and devotional service. After the reading of the minutes of the last meeting, the report of the treas- urer was read, showing a balance in the treasury of the union of $35.12. Mr. W. H. Pennell, chairman of the good citizenship committee, reported that the committee was engaged in active work, in advocating certain legislative matters now pending in Congress. The good literature committee, through its chairman, Miss Zue H. Brockett, reported that the committee, though quite recently appointed, had or- ganized and was planning for ‘extensive good literature work in the months to come. The union correspondence commit- tee, Miss Anna J. Bell, chairman, reported that during the past month fourteen En- a ‘orers, who have come to Washington from other cities to reside, had been visit- ed, and welcomed to some church and Christian Endeavor society in the city. ‘The "97 transportation committee, hav- ing in charge the arrangements for tne trip of local Endeavorers to the interna- tional convention at San Francisco in July, reported, through Mr. W. W. Tuckey, chairman, that the Washington delegation will leave here for Chicago, en route to San Francisco, on the morning of the 28th of June, via the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road. The rate to Chicago and return was announced as $17, and from Chicago to San Francisco and return, $51. The amendments previously proposed to the by-laws of the executive committee relative to the mode of electing union offi- cers were adopted. ‘The representatives of the several de- nominations then presented names of pei sons to serve on the nominating commi' tee, which committee is to present the June meeting of the executive com- mittee nominations for officers of the Dis- trict union, to serve for the year beginning September 1. The following were appoint- ed on this committee from the several de- nominations: Baptist, Percy 8. Foster, Dr. C. W. Childs, Miss Anna J. Bell; Christian, Miss Susanne Moore, Miss Lena Summ F. M. Bradley; Congregational, Mrs. W. H. Pennell, Miss Annie E. Budd, John B. Sleman, jr.; Lutheran, Rev. C. H. Butler, Geo. F. Muth, Miss Christine A. Poggen- see; Methodist Episcopal, R. E. L.

Church, Miss Lizzie Warman; United Brethren, Miss Annie A. Anna Friends, R. Warder. The president announced that the next mass meeting of the union would be mis- sionary in character, and would be held on May 21 in the Covenant Presbyterian Church. Mr. W. G. Puddefoot is to make the principal address of the evening upon the subject, “Plenty of Money for Things We Want.” Mr. Puddefoot is one of the field secretaries of the Congregational Home Missionary Society, and a mission- ary speaker of great prominence. Following these announcements the re- ports of the union lookout and union mis- sionary committees were read, and after each report ar open discussion upon the work of these two committees was partici- pated in by a large number of those pres- ent. Previous to the meeting of the executive committee a meeting of the junior super- intendents was held in Calvary Sunday school house, Mrs. W. H. Pennell, president of tke Jutior Christian Endeavor Union, presiding. Tv.erty-three societies were rep- resented, and the mecting was occupied in discussing the various methods of work en- gaged in by junior societies and the junior union. The union correspondence committee also held a meeting at 7 o'clock in the primary room of the church, —.—_— ELECTED OFFICERS. Business Transacted by Pleasant Citizens’ Assoc: ma. The regular monthly meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens’ Association was held in the village church last evening, Vice Presi- dent Theo. A. Harding presiding in the absence of President J. W. Somerville. The principal business of the meeting was the annual election of officers, and, upon the motion of Mr. Chapin Brown, the old of- ficers were unanimously re-elected, as fol- lows: President, J. W. Somerville; first vice president, Theo. A. Harding; second vice president, E. W. Woodruff; third vice president, W. L. Coie; recording secretary, T. M. Exley; corresponding secretary, J. R. Buckalew, and treasurer, A. B. Chatfield. From the committee on street railroads Mr. Chapin Brown reported that 2lthough two bills having in view the extension of the village raiiroad facilities have been introduced during the present session of Congress, there 13 little chance of either becoming a law befere ihe adjournment of Congress. One of these bilis, said Mr. brown, provides for the extension cf the Metropolitan road out iSth street to Mt. Pleasant, across the village and down Sherman avenue to #ih street. The bill provides for the condemnation of land, something to which, President Harries has said, the company will never consent un- less compelied by Congress. The other bill, H. It. No. 2913, was in- trodvced on benalf of the Capital Traction Company, explained Mr. Brown, and pro- vides for an extension of that company’s underground electric line from Isth and Cincinnati sireets along the proposed Park highway by double tracks and on Lanier and Popiar avenues to ISth street extended, and thence to a point about 300 feet north of Howaid avenue. The Capital Traction Company, said Mr. Brown, desires very much to make this extension, 2nd will do all it possibly can to secure congressional authority to make it. The railroad question was generally dis- evesed, the sentiment of the meeting being in favor of the Metropolitan line. The discussion also developed the fact that the association is opposed to Jouble tracks on any street of the village running east and west, and a motion was unarimously adopted directing the committee on rail- reads to urge the passage of any bill which will give the village better railroad facili- ties, and also directing the committee to express the opposition cf the association to double tracks on any sireets of the vil- lage running east and west. Before the associaticn adjourned Treas- urer A. B. Chatfieid subniitted his annual report, showing the chariiy fund balance on hand to be $24.08, and the common fund balance to be $50.’ making a grand bal- avce on hand of $74.83. eS It matters litt!e what it ts that you want —whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need. SS Trouble Ended, The officers of the American Federation of Labor in this city were much gratified last evening to learn that, through the efforts of President Gompers, made during a visit last week to Baltimore, the Crown Cork and Seal Company of that city had decided to accede to the demands made by the International Association of Ma- chinists, and require that all their em- ployes be union men. The trouble between the American Fed- eration of Labor and the'Crown Cork and Seal Company has been on for several months, and ts stated to have been causea by the of several machinists from their employ by the company be- cause the men were members of the Ma- chinists’ Unton, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. come of the adjustment of ‘the difficulty will be that the boycott which was placed on the Crown Cork and Beal several months ago by.

Mrs. Lee's Dictionary. A copy of The Evening Star of Washing- ton which there is every reason to be- eve was once the property of Mrs. Robert E. Lee, was discovered a few days ago be- tween two leaves of an old copy of Wor- cester’s Dictionary in Baltimore. Recently an appeal was made by Warden Bailey of the jail of that city for books to found a library for the use of the in- mates of the institution, and there were numerous responses. Among the books re- celved there last week was the old vol- ume referred to, containing a portion o® The Star of the date of January 3, ING. On the inside cover of the book is pastet a card bearing in legible penmanship the inscription: “Mrs. Robert E. Lee.” The treasure, which Mr. Bafley now regards as almost priceless, was not discovered until some time after the book was re- ceived at the institution, and he is, there- fore, unable to tell positively anything of the bock’s history, no record being kept of those from whom books are received at the jail, but he believes, and others agree with him, that the signature is that of the wife of the great southern leader. It is the intention of Mr. Bailey to take goot care of the book, and he will not allow it to go into the library for which It was donated, for fear that it might become lost. He has shown it to.a number of peo- ple, nearly all of whom have asked him to present them with it, but all have met with refusals. The fact that the book was at one time in the possession of Mrs. Lee makes it, in Mr. Bailey's estimation, too valuable to part with. DIED. AVERY. On May 4, 1897, at 1 am, Mrs, Fu ES AVERY.
