PLANNING FOR A BAZAAR Methodist Churches Propose to Hold One on Grand Scale. a Fands to Be Raised Will Be Divided Between the Methodist U: the Church Home. A reovement which has for its object the holding of a Methodist bazaar,in November rext, in this city, was inaugurated Friday evening at Wesley Chapel, corner of 5th and F streets northwest. Representative Methodists of both sexes from almost every church of the denomina- tion in the District were present, and much enthusiasm was manifested. Mr. G. W. F. Swartzell, president of the Methodist Union, who has also been selected as chair- man of the executive committee of the bazar, presided, and Rev. Dr. Heisse, pastor of Wesley Chapel, served as secretary. After devotional services, which were conducted by Mr. Swartzell, with Mr. W. J. Palmer as musical director. the former made a brief address, in which he outlined the objects of the meeting, and stated that the funds to be raised by the bazaar would be divided between the Methodist, Union and the Church Home. Dr. Hetsse gave a history of what had thus far been done by those who have un- dertaken the management of the proposed bazaar. The Proposed Pla. The plan to be foliowed will be the same as that which was so successfully carried out by the management of a “trades ba- zaar,” held a few months ago in Balti:nore by the Methodists of that city, and which netted to the cause for which it was given about $8,500. The program of the Baltimore bazaar was outlined in a letter from Rev. James B. Ingram, president of the City Mission So- ciety of Baltimore, addressed to Mr. Swartzell, which was read by Rev. Dr. L. B. ison, presiding elder of Washington district. After an appropriate introduction Mr. Ingram wrote, in part, as follow: “I am persuaded from what I have heard and read that the Methodist community of Washington and vicinity is fully alive to the needs of its union, for whose benefit and that of the Methodist home the bazaar is to be held, and will display the needed «nergy and sacrifice to make it the success the cause deserves. These two elements, energy and sacrifice, are absoiutely noces- sary, as in every enterprise, without abate- ment, from beginning to finish, to bring satisfactory results. “I presume I am desired to outline the plan and methods employed by our Balti- more society in achieving the measurable success that crowned our efforts in keep- ing a shop and a show last January. Composed of Business Men. “Our- principal body was composed of about thirty live, active business men, called an ‘executive committee.’ This com. mittee, which represented every M. E. church in and around Baltimore. met week- ly at the homes of various members of the committee, and was made a source of great pleasure and social intercours: “After the transaction of business, light refreshments were served. This committee planned the whole scheme, heard reports of heads of various dezartments, and directed the superintendent in every move- ment of the enterprise. “At first it was proposed to make it a ‘man’s bazaar,’ but this idea was abandon- ed. This decided, the next step was to pro- vide a ‘woman's auxiliary’ and place some one at the head of this denartment pos- sessing the requisite business and execu- tive ability to bring success. Such a one was found, and she called to her ald and secured the following of all the members of the ladies’ aid societies of the various churches. The sisters acted independently in their operations, and had entire charge of the department assigned to them. Ice cream and refreshments, confectionery, fancy goods and lunch tables were con- trolled by them “Endeavor to interest every man, wo- man and child connected with or interested in the Methodist Church. Some of the most efficient workers we had were of other denominations. Appeal to every pas- tor of your churches. He can help or hin- rr your succ Have him actively in- terested, and let him keep the great Meth- odist bazaar before his people, and urge every member of his congregation to give something, however, small, and solicit do- nations from friends and acquaintances. “It is better to have a thousand small contributions than a few large ones, yleld- ing the same returns. Secure the co-oper- ation of every official member of your churches. This we did by inviting them and their wives to a reception, given at one of our largest churches, where strong ad- dresses were made and the necessities of our soclety set forth. Don't be discouraged if some of your gatherings are not large. Let It be repeated with emphasis that you are going to have a bazaar, and that It will be a great success. Effect of Example. “One man with confidence will inspire a score. Let it be known what you are doing; refrain not from provoking one another to good works. At some,convenient time and place cal! a meeting of all the Sunday school superinterdents; provide light re- freshments; have a good time; get them in- terested; then let the superintendents call their teackers together and talk bazaar talk; have the tecchers promise to interest their classes and {f not possible to secure a contribution from each scholar, every class can unitedly give something. “Your season tickets or single tickets can be disposed of largely through the children. This was one of the largest sources of revenue at our bazaar, and was nearly 100 per cent profit. Agitate, adver- tise, talk bazaar at meetings’ called throughout your clty up to the time of holding it. You cannot have {t too weil known. Secure a place for holding the bazear where the pecple can conveniently reach it by all car lines. During the progress of the bazaar have the managers of the various car Ines make conductors call out ‘Metho- dist bazaar’ at the nearest point. Have the bufiding larger than you require for the numerous departments you propose to have. We received more money for the space we sub-rented for advertising special articles than we paid rent for the whole building.” Rev. Dr. Wilson made an earnest speech favoring the project, and W. W. Davis, pastor of a church at Jarrettsviile, Md., talked along the lines laid down in Mr. Ingram’s ‘etter. After the transaction of some business of minor importance refreshments were served. get Good Work Speaks for Itself.

Denizens of the Division -Rob Mem- bers of Dunker Convention. A number of delegates to the Dunkers’ convention, recently held in Frederick, had their pockets picked while attending the meeting, and the police here have learned of the manner in which the stealing was done. e One of the leading members of the con- venticn, @ resident of Lancaster county, Pa., had his pocket picked of $35, near the entrance to the dining tent. He felt the thief's Fand when # removed his pocket- book, and he turned as quickly as possible, intending to grab any man who might be in sight, but there was no one there ex- cept females, and all were in the costumes of the Dunkers. 2 When the convention was over this par- ticular victim came here and was the Suest of Hack Inspector Groff. He told his experience at Frederick, which he regarded as a huge joke. The hack inspector received information later, through Lieutenant Kelly, that some women residents of the section known as the “Division” had attended the convention dressed as Dunkers, and he believed they got the pocketbook. It is said about two dozen members of the body lost money in this way, though, fortunately, none lost a large amount. ——_.—__ s The Crop of Green Hair Nature Grows On the bald spots of your lawn will attain an eye-pleasing luxuriant growth if wa- tered through our garden hose.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your article in The Star on the bric-a- brac In the White House you speak of the gilt plateau as one of the “very few things now in existence that were a part of the presidential property when Washington yet wore the mantle.” It may be interest- ing to knaw that the dining table used at the White House by Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and, possibly, Madison, is still in existence and in use. I have often had the pleasure of sitting at it, and there partak- ing of the generous hospitality of its pres- ent owner. Mr. Gideon Granggr was appointed by President Jefferson in 1802 as the Poat- master General of the United States, and held that office during the two terms of that President and during the greater part of President Madison’s. During this pe- riod, in some way unknown to me, Mr. Granger became possessed of the table. He removed it to hig stately house in Canan- daigua, N. Y., where it served as the fam- ily dining table until his death in 1822. It then passed into the possession of his son, the late John A. Granger, the father of Mrs. Saunders Irving of ‘this city, and finally became the property of his only son, M Alton Granger of Passaic, N. J. The histo article stands in the country place of Mr. Granger, on Lake Canadaigua, and is in constant use when the family are there.

Aldridge’n: Discourse. Rev. I. F. Aldridgs preached a sermon yesterday morning at Campbell A. M. B. Church, Hillsdale, om the subject of the lawless taking ofrhuman lives. He selected as his text the 18th verse of the 20th chap- ter of Exodus, “Phot shalt not kill,” and gaid: s sacred oemmm—ndment was handed down to Moses by the voice of God, in thunder tones, long and loud, out of the cloud upon Mt. Sinaits smoking top, in the midst of thunder and lightning, and in the Presence of flaming: fire and quaking mountains. The people of this world who expect to see God’s face in peace must keep this commandment and all the rest. “The commandment of , which gays ‘Thou shalt not kill,’ is outrageously and shamefully violated day and night, in this country. Men and women are being shot to death and murdered by brutal and cruel Tsons, without giving them warning or imo to prepare to meet thelr God. It is a shame upon civilization and Christianity. It is a disgrace to law and order. “The citizons of Wasaington, the capital of the nation, and of other ces in this country, have Leen compelled to look in amazement upon cold-blooded murder scenes the past week. Big, burly men have walked upon the streets and into homes and opened fire upon defenseless, helpless and weak women; and, then, to Keep from facing the majesty of the law, and the condemnation of the people, these men turned the weapons to thelr own heads and blew out their own brains, and destroy- ed their own lives. “Here we have learned jurists, police guards, law makers. Here we have church- es, Sunday schools and d&y schools, Preachers and teachers, and yet these crimes ere perpetrated within the shadow of the dome of the Cazitol, and we are Powerless to prevent them. In this world no man or woman knows his or her fate. Suicides are commem in the land. This is a species of murder that destroys both soul and body. “Every minister and Christian should Talse a voice against the unlawful de- struction of human life. The warning cry should be raised and the danger signal hoisted.” Of the crime of lynching, he said: “The time to put a stop to these out- Tages came some years ago. It is at hand today. There must be a stop put to these crimes, for if they are allowed to ¢ontinue, in my opinion, it will take a standing army to control the organized mobs in this country. Every lynching snould meet with the unqalified condemnation of law- abiding citizens. Persons who participate in such crimes. should be punished like other criminals or murderers. “The Congress of the United States ought to make a law providing that every state which permits the lynching of a citi- zen by an organized mob, should be fined $10, Every state should have a law impo: a fine of $5,000 upon every county which permits a mob to lynch a citizen, In my opinion, this would’ put a stop to this species of cri:nes in the United States. The jury would no longer bring in ver- dicts that the person lynched came to his death at the hands of parties un- known, —_—__ $5.00 to New York and Return via B. and 0. R. R.

Fines Collect: Through Efforts of Bioycle Squad Aggregate $4,000. Just a@ little more than a year ago the members of the police bicycle squad went on duty to apprehend “scorchers” and other violators of the police regulations.” One of the four members of the squad was absent for three months and another was sick for a time, but despite these draw- backs the officers made about 1,300 arrests. During the year the fines collected in the cases made by them amounted to $4,288. The first annual report of the squad has been made to Major Moore, who is very much pleased with the work done. —— eee Equestrian Statues. Congress having appropriated $50,000 each for statues to Gens. William T. Sher- man and John A. Logan some time since, the work on the latter has been com- menced in Iowa Circle, where it will be erected. The fountain in the center of the circle has been removed and the founda- tion for the pedestal nearly completed and will be ready for the masonry in a few days. The Cranford Paving Company, who are the contractors for the foundation, have a large force of men at work on it. Upon completion of the mason work all will be ready for the pedestal. The ped- estal will mark a new feature of construc- tion in work of this kind, as it will be of bronze, and appropriately’ ornamented. ‘The statue will also be of bronze and of heroic dimensions. The entire work has been let by contract to Mr. Franklin Simmons, who has his studio in Rome, Italy, and will be under the supervision of the board of public buildings and grounds, and approval of the United States corps of engineers representing the War Department. The designs are all completed and it is hoped to have the pedestal in place by next Decem- ber and the whole work ready for unveiling during 1808. The equestrian statue to the “hero of the march from Atlanta to the sea,” already mentioned, it is propcsed to erect on the grounds south of the Treasury building, looking toward the Washington monument. The contract for this tribute has been .2warded to Mr. Carl Rohl Smith, whose studio is at The Temple, LaSalle street, Chicago. The designs for this work are far advanced and it will be pushed to early completion. After all it is Nature that makes the cures.

Calvary Baptist Sunday School Its Friends Enjoy a Picnic. One. of the largest Sunday school excur- sions ever given on the Potomac river was that of the Calvary Baptist Sunday school, Saturday, to River View. Nearly 3,000 per- sons took the trip, enjoyed the manifold amusements, the pleasant sail on the river and the cool, shady spots so numerous at the View. The weather was all that could be wished for, and the arrangements for handling the big crowd, and the features Provided for its entertainment, made the occasion a memorable one. The chief feature of the day was the athletic meet, under the auspices of the Vaughn class, one of the well-known branches of the Sunday school. All of the events were exciting, especially the bicycle Traces, and the winners were compelled to work with a will for thelg prizes. Harry Park attempted the descent of the chute on one wheel, without either handle bar or pedals, and at the first trial slipped and went headlong into the side beams. On the second attempt the wind was so strong as to blow him over before the start could be made, and the effort was abandoned. In the evening a cake walk was given and several members of the school enter- tained the crowd with songs and athleti~ specialties. Those in charge of the athletic meet were: Master of ceremonies, Mr. E. W. Grafton: judges and timers, Messrs. George W. Silsby, Wiiliam H. Pearce, Ray- mond A. Pierson, and Dr. F. A. Swart- wout; starter, Mr. Harry Park; referee, Mr. F. R. Wheater; anonuncer, J. H. Dob- bertin.

I was nervous and had a tired feeling, was under the treatment of physicians, but I continually grew worse. My busband insisted on my t-ying Hoot's Sarsaparilia, and I finally camsented, and begun taking it the first of June, 1896. The first bottle did me so much good that I con tinaed with it, and after taking four” bot- tles and one bottle of Hood's Pills Iam able to do my work, and the tired, nervous f 4s entirely cured.”” Mra.
