SECRETARY'S PLANS The Young Men’s Christian Association to Extend Its Scope. Proposition to Form a Tri-State Group of Associat 1s, With Headquar- ters in Washington. The Young Men's Christian Association has always been progressive, but it pro- peres to be even more so the coming year, if possible, according to Mr. W. B. Millar of New York, field secretary of the interna- tional association, and probably the best- known man wearing the red triangle In this section of the country. Mr. Millar has his headquarters in New York, but his territery takes in all the New England and middle states, including the District of :nbia, and the bcrder southern states west to the Mississippi, and all the more thickly settled portions of Canada. Soon after the death of the late general secre- tary of the Washingtcn association, Mr. James L. Pugh, Mr. Millar was in the ¢ity 2 number of tines assisting the directors of tke local organ‘zaticn in the choice of a ecretary, and he is now on a yisit here which has also especial reference to this city.

Cycle Club Elects Officers. The Hyattsville Cycle Club held its elec- tion club of ho officers last evening at the new The following were chosen: Star the other evening Mr. Millar said that the larger states, such as New York, Penn- sylvania, Massachusetts and Ohio, have ene or more field secretaries, who devote their time entirely to their respective states and thus leave cnly inatiers which concern the associations in general for the general field secretary to look after. It is now propesed to group Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia and the District of Columbia into a tri-state bod: de to place this field un- the supervision of a field secretar in all probability to establish his head- rters in the city of Washington. ‘or a number of years there has been an seciation en-bracing the territory men- icred, but there has been no compact or- anization, continuing regular and united ork, consequently it is expected that the presence of a field secret will give a great impetus to Y. M. C. A. work, make it boom in a way it never has before, and be of especial advan to the city of Westington. There a veral names un- der consideraticn for the position of field but, as such a man occupies a ble position, must have had exne- rience ity, end an it tien wil made in a hurry, and, con- sequently, the rame of the secretary will not be announced much before September. While the new field eretary will be al- lowed some latitude in the selection of his headquarters, yet there is a number of reasons which make it seem very probable that he will reside here, the chief of which are that the internaticnal committee thinks this is the proper place; that Washington is the central point for the three and that it is the national capital. In a sense, the secretary will be a representa- tive at the capital. Duties Will Be Exacting. Up until this vear the duties of such a secretary have not been so very heavy, but with the extension of the work they will be very exacting. In the first place, the internaticral committee ts greatly extend- ing the educational work, and bringing the ch 2 town associations into uniformity aleng this lire. It is the intention to have every local Y. M. C, A. have an education- al department, so that if a man or boy em- amount of executive abil- states, ployed during the day wishes to take a course of study of especial benefit in his particular line of t he will be to do it In the nig! es of the Y. M. In accord: ith this idea, classes in electrical ring, manual training and her special lin are being formed, and when the new building ts erected they will igin be put into active operation here. A regn- lar course of instruction was prescribed this year, and on a certain day in May » who ¢ pared mittee, all © same heur, red to do so took an examina- hy the international com- the same date and at the ‘nd upon passing were award- ps recognized by several well- n colleges eral Seerctary Multer of the local Y. . A. has received a letter from the sec- ary of the International Educational Y. M. C. A. stating that a member of the lo- cal association had won three certificates, only ene or two other students in a total f 732 having received a like number. About per cent of the tetal number of associa- s throughcut the country participated examinations, but it 1s expected t year the percentage will be more that ne than 50, Twenty Associations Included. The new secretary will have about twen- ty associations in his charge, and this will necessitate a good deal of traveling. As far as Washington goes, Mr. Millar states t the rew official will not have much » work is progressing satisfac- He {s thoroughly informed on for a new building, and re- ar + prespects as bright. The matter of building has come at a very oppor time, because the plans are In such shape that they can be arranged s@ as to provide recms for the tri-state headquarters.

A small colored boy named Arthur Ford had so much time on his hands that he thought he would take a drive to the coun- try. He did not own a team, but he saw no reason why he should not use Mr. R. E. Parker's horse and buggy. Getting into the buggy he made a start for the suburbs, and when he had driven the horse almost to death he returned to the city, and Po- licemafi Henry arrested him. This morn- ing when the case was called in the Police Court the boy was very sorry, but Mr. Par- ker said his horse had been ruined. A charge of grand larceny was preferred against the boy and the case was sent to the grand jury. Arthur was committed to jail in default of bond. —— $1.25 to Baltimore and Return via B. ard O. R. R.

In conversation with a Star reporter last evening Sister Beatrice, in charge of Providence Hospital, took occasion to deny that Benjamin F. Kirchner, the driver of a delivery wagon, was severely bitten in the hospital yard Tuesday afternoon by two dogs belonging to the institution. The sis- ter explained that about two years ago one of the former patients of the hospital presented her with a fine St. Bernard Puppy, then about six weeks old. The puppy, a descendant of J. K. Emmett’s famous dog, Fritz, was so handsome and affectionate an animal that she had not the \heart to refuse the gift, which was made in remembrance of treatment the patient had received at the hospital, and the sister allowed {it to remain. It soon became a great favorite with every one about the institution, it is ex- plained, the physicians, sisters, nurses and patients, and ever since it has roamed about the house and yard at will. It be- came devotedly attached to Sister Beatrice, she informs The Star, and she never re- turned to the hospital that the dog did not rush out to meet her in the hospital yard, jumping and barking to show his pleasure at her return. When the sister reached the premises Tuesday afternoon Kirchner was in the yard, having delivered sdme goods. From the statements of those who saw the oc- currence, ‘it appears that when the dog ran out to meet Sister Beatrice, with the usual manifestation of pleasure, the man became frightened and kicked {t. Natural- ly, the dog resented that, and snapped at the driver, inflicting a scratch on one of his fingers and tearing his trousers slight- ly. One of the nurses examined the finger, and, finding not even that blood was drawn, poured something healing over it. There was no battle between the man and two dogs, or, indeed, between him and the St. Bernard, say the witnesses of the occurrence, and had not the man unfortunately made the mistake of kicking at the animal, supposing it was about to attack him, no trouble would have occur- red. Sister Beatrice called the dog, a truly magnificent specimen, into the reception room of the hospital last evening at the time she made the explanation. Bruno, as we call him,” sald the sister, “has been carefully raised and trained, and T am sure that every one about the hospital will bear me out when I say that he is the most docile, affectionate and gen- tle of animals. He Is a favorite with every one, and goes wherever he pleases about the house and grounds. Whenever I re- turn and drive into the yard, out of which, by the way, he is not allowed to go, he meets me with every evidence of affection, jumping and barking furiously. That was the way he met me Tuesday afternoon, and no doubt Mr. Kirchner imagined from his manner and great size that Bruno was about to attack him. But the dog never before attacked or attempted to molest any one. “If he were a vicious or unsafe animal to have about the place, you may rest as- sured that I would never have allowed him to remain. I am pained to think that Mr. Kirchner was even so slightly injured, and did T believe for a moment that Bruno was to blame, or that it {s not wise to keep him, I would at once get rid of him. But I am convinced that the animal is perfectly harmless, and must believe that the unfortunate experience of the man was simply due to his own mistake. This opinion is shared by Drs. Bayne, Marbury and Ramsberg of the hospital staff, who have volunteered to so testify, if need be, and, indeed, by every one else who knows the dog. The matter has been misrep sented in the public press—unintentionally, I am sure—and I desire that in all fairness to the institution, and to those responsible for its conduct, the real facts should be known.” —-—___ Spend Sunday at “Old Point” or V Beach, Round Trip Tickets, 83, —via Norfolk & Washington Steamboat Co.

The Hyattsville Republican Club held an enthusiastic meeting last night at the Grend Army Hall, Hyattsvile. F. A. Hol- den presided. There were present Francis H. Smith, George Holmes, Capt. William A. Potter of Laurel, C. A. Waring of Upper Marlboro’, D. E. Graves, Roger Bellis, L. 0. Wissman and other prominent men. Capt. Potter, the guest of the club, spoke for an hour, dwelling in the main upon the satisfactory manner in which the republi- can party of Maryland had fulfilled its three great pledges—the promise of a re- assessment, a fair election law and the tn- troduction of free books in the public schools. He characterized the civil service as “the most outrageous institution ever inflicted upon a free people,” and declared that if the republicans continutd to foster it they would be overwhelmingly defeated. The speaker then referred to the candidacy of Capt. Charles G. Gordon for the nomina- tion to the state senate, and insisted that the captain was wholly ineligible for the office, on account of his belng a retired army officer, Other addresses were made by F. H. Smith, George Holmes, Roger Bellis, D. E. Graves and Harry B.'Fowler. Capt. Gor- don was roughly handled by each. Capt. Bellis referred to Capt. Gordon's long mil- itary career, and declared that he was so accustomed to being obeyed that no man dare contradict him without fear of a per- sonal difficulty. Harry B. Fowler bitterly arraigned Capt. Gordon, charging him with dispensing beer among the colored element in order to inflame their minds and create a breach in the republican ranks. Seven new members signed the roll dur- ing the course of the evening. It was de- cided to hold frequent meetings from now on until the holding of the primaries. The officers of the club are: F. A. Holden, president; F. H. Smith, first vice president: L. O. Wissman, second vice president; W. A. Noel, secretary; Louis W. Richardson treasurer; cutive committee—Roger Be! lis, M. W.

EXCURSIONS, Again tonight the Macalester goes on an- other of those most popular trips to In- dian Head. These outings answer all re- quirements as comfort-givers. Four hours and over in the coolest breeze you could wish for, sweetest of musiz on the boat, a chance to stop off at Marshall Hall if you care to and a most charming ride home in the moonlight are some of the pleasing features of the trip. Any guests who take the early boats down may take the Mac- alester as it comes from Washington on the 6:30 trip and continue on to Indian Head without extra charge. Or, if pre- ferred, while the steamer {s on its way to the Head and back, an opportunity af- forded for a walk around the grounds, a dance or dinner. These trips will be made every Thursday, Friday and Saturday even- ings for the present, and from the numbers who go down it is very evident that there {s pleasure, comfort and satisfaction in the ane The Macalester leaves, as usual, at Beginning next Sunday, and continuing every Sunday during July and August. the splendid River Queen will make a trip to Chapel Point. These outings are the re. sult of a special arrangement by which Washington’s pleasure seckers and com- fort hunters may enjoy an excursion that will occupy the day an] at the same time not be so far from the city that it is tire- some getting there. The River Queen leaves her wharf at 9:30 a.m. Sunday, makes the run of fifty-five miles to the Point, gives plenty of time to enjoy all the attractions, bathing, fishing and crabbing. and leaves there in time to reach home at 9:30 p.m. Being on salt water the bree: are as different from those at the other Places as can be. The children will take possession of the cool and shady lawns of River View tomer- be row, when the family day trip will made for their benefit. As usual on t Saturday trips, the fare for the benefit the little ones will be but 10c. to all on the morning and afternoon trips, and the tick- ets will be good to return on any trip. The children will find wide lawns, while they can play about under the shade trees to their hearts’ content, and can make as much noise as they please. All the amuse. ments at the View, the chute, flying horses, ete., will be found ready for the amuse- ment of the little ones, and at night, after the dancing fs over, there will be another exhibition of the cinematographe, with # large number of new views, many of which have never been shown bere before.
