The Preliminaries Discussed at a Meeting Held Last Evening—Ap- pointment of Committees. The first meeting of the committee re- cent!y appointed by the board of trade to arrange for the entertainment of the National Educational Association, if it shal! meet in this city next year, was held yesterday afternoon at the rooms of the teard of trade. The probability of the ex- ecutive committee of the asscclation se- lecting this city as the place of meeting was discussed. Col. Henry F. Blount was elected chair- man of an executive committee of fifteen, to he appointed by him, to confer with the executive committee of the National Edu- cational Association when it visits this city on its tour of inspection. Charles J. Bell was elected temporary chairman and cpened the meeting, there being present Col. Henry F. Blount, Archi- bald Greenlees, Prof. Wm. B. Powell, Mr A. T. Smith, Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, Mr: D. La Fetra, Thomas W. Smith, Charles Church, E. J. Lockwood of the Norfolk and Western Railway Company and Ar- thur O'Neill, the secretary of the board of trade. Mr. O'Neill vas elected temporary sec- retary of the committee. He stated that seventy-three rctices had been sent out to persons selected to serve on the com- mittee and that thirty-five acceptances had been received. Committee of Conference. It was then explained that the purpose of the meeting was to select an executive committee to confer with the executive committee of the Educational Association when it visits Washington in order to give information regarding the facilities which will be provided for the association in the event of its meeting here. The executive committee was also au- thorized to increase the membership of the general committee from seventy to one hundred. Mrs. Spencer explained that the decision of the association respecting the place in which it will meet will depend upon rail- road rates, character of places of mecting, hotel accommodations and charges, and the opportunity to increase the membership of the association. She had no doubt they would find the hotel accommodations here much superior to those of Milwaukee. She said as the meeting of the association, will cost from ¢ WU to $20,000 the executive committee of the association would like to have an tdea of the probable number ot new members that would be secured in this city. The membersnip fee being $2 the new members would cause quite an increase in the assoctation’s funds. Acquisition of Members. In San Francisco, Mrs. Spencer said, they secured 4,000 new members, and in Mil- waukee mcre than 1,0. She thought this city should secure at least a thousand members, as there are but very few here now. For the expenses of the citizens’ committee it would be necessary to raise about $10,000, which was the sum raised in Milwaukee for that purpose. Letters from Commissioners Ross and Wight were read, both expressing interest in the meeting of the asscciation. Colonel Blount will, in a day or two, announce the membership of the executive committee, which will take charge of all matters con- nected with the visit of the committee of the association to this city. Samnel B. Wadsworth, False Pretensex, Gives Bond. Accused of Samuel B. Wadsworth, the young man indicted several days ago for false pre- tenses in obtaining from Mr. Lisle S. Lipscomb $40 on a check on the Western National Bank of Denver, Col., was brought here yesterday from Maysville, Ky., by Deputy Marshal Swimm. He was taken before Judge Cole in Criminal Court No. 4, where he was released on bail in the sum of $00 to answer the indictment, Representative Pugh of Kentucky securing a bondsman for him. Young Wadsworth, said to be of a Ken- tucky family of high standing, claims that last month he was informed by a Colorado man who owed him $50 that he had placed such amount to his credit, and that it was on it he drew the ch He and_ his friends say that if the dishonoring of the check had been made known the matter would have at once been satisfactorily ad- justed. —— $5.00 to Atlantic City and Return via B. and 0.

To secure means for furthering the work of the association there will be to- morrow evening a grand rally at Glen Echo.

While it 1s more convenient for some to purchase food at the store or the market, I feel deeply indignant at the discrimina- tion against a class of men who ore en- deavoring to make a living for themselves and families, and who really do benefit many who are not able to buy food trom other parties. Children are turned loose in the street to quarrel and shriek and disturb a whcle neighborhood “from early morn till dewy ve," but an occasional “cry” from a poor man endeavoring to sell his wares “‘dis- turbs the nerves” of a few persons, there- fore he must be silenced. ‘This ordinance scems to me most un- wise, unjust, cruel and oppressive. How is the nuckster to live? or has he “no right” to live? Is it not better for him to “call” his food than to annoy the househoider by ringing the door bell? Is it wise, by silencing men who are try- ing to make a living, to add to the great army of the unemployed, dependent on charity, and tempted to crime by derpera- tion? Every winter our hearts are wrung with pity for the many poor we cannot ald, and a pang is added to our pity when we feel that some of the suffering could have been avoided. I, for one, earnestly hope that this ordi- nance will be repealed, or so modified as to rob it of its present harsh and unfeeling aspect.

Again tonight the Macalester gges on an- other of those most popular trips to Indian Head. Now that the days are getting really hot again, it becomes necessary to seek some spot for relief. Four hours and over in the coolest ‘breeze you could wish for, sweetest of music 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 fea- tures of the trip. Any guests who take the early boats down may take the Macalester as it comes from Washington on the 6:30 trip and continue on to Indian Head without extra charge; or, if preferred, while the steamer is on its way to the Head and back, an opportunity 1s afforded for a walk around the grounds, a dance or dinner. These trips will be made every Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening for the pres- ent, and from the numbers who go down, it is very evident that there are pleasure, comfort and satisfaction in the trip. It is too warm to rush around town at the last moment looking for a barber shop. It is not necessary now, either, as there is a first-class shop on the steamer, and you can be waited upon while on your way down. The Macalester leaves, as usual, at 6:30. The Burnside Women’s Relief Corps go down to Marshall Hall for their annual trip Friday night. The members and friends are looking forward to the most successful trip yet given under their aus- pices. All the arrangements have been made by the amusement committee, and, needless to say, no detail has escaped their attention to make the trip all that is an- ticipated. In years past the Women’s Corps have been counted among the best of hosts by their many friends, and it is their intention to eclipse this year, !f pos- sible, all their past triumphs. There will be music on the boat and at the grounds for dancing, and the evening will be filled with new forms of entertainments that are sure to prove winners with the guests. Of course, it is not necessary to mention that it is the coolest place around Washington that the corps have picked out to enjoy themselves in, and everything that could be wished for in that line will be found fully up to the standard. The Macalester leaves at 6:30 p.m. Toright the Daughters of America have their annual outing at Marshall Hall. They mean that their trip this year shall go ahead of even their own efforts In years past. They have planned a iot of. new fea- tures that are sure to amuse and entertain everybody, and these, with the music and dancing, are calculated to give everybody a pleasant evening. Nothing has been left undone that, In the opinion of the amuse- ment committee, would add in any way to the pleasure of the occasion, and a most enjoyable time is assured all who may join them. From the numbers of tickets al- ready purchased, a big crowd will be on hand, and if the weather is only in their favor the boat will sail filled to the fullest capacity with the happy excursionists. Tae alester will leave at 6:30 p.m. The Clerks’ Mutual Benefit and Protec- tive Association gave its annual excursion to River View yesterday. Nearly every business house in the city was represented on the trip, and besides these a goodly number of the friends of the members took the outing, making a jolly party that com- pletely filled the Pentz. The association has been giving excursions twelve years, but yesterday's affair was the most enjoy- able in its history. At the View the time was spent in “shooting the chute’ «nd dancing, and the greater number of those who went down waited for the late boat. The committee in charge of the excursion was composed of Messrs. James Jirdens:on, president; W. A. Hungerford. L. J. Silver- man, E. K. Plant, G. W. Hobbs, Max Fel- ka, C. T. Hummer and H. C, Fisher. Although the Cloward weekly excursions to Virginit Beach via the Norfolk and Washington steamboat line have been in- avgurated but a few weeks, they have be- ceme decidedly popular. Probably no ex- cursion could better appeal to that senti- ment of delightful restfulness than this trip down the bay to Old Point Comfort and thence to Virginia Beach, the only ocean resort in the state of Virginia. It is a known fact that the beach at this fa- mous resert is without an equal in this country. For a distance of twenty miles at low tide teams can be driven along the water's edge, the buggy wheels making no imprint in the hard sand and the horses’ hoofs being scarcely distinguishable. ‘The Norfolk and Washington palace steam- boats are admitted to be the most palatial steamers in this vicinity. ‘The headquarters of the Cloward excur- sions are at Columbia Theater, where Mr. N. Stein attends to the business affairs of the trips. Next Sunday Grace Shannon, better krown as the Queen of the Clouds, will give a balloon ascension at River View and will make one of her startling leaps in a parachute. Miss Shannon is well known to the Washington public, and returns to View after an absence of more tha: ar: Since she was last here she has the medal for having made higher ions than any aeronautic artist in America, and proudly w ‘sit. The ascen- sion on Sunday will be one of the most sensational ever given in this vicinity and will be very interesting. There will be no charge to see the ascension. Commandery, U. 0. G. C., will its annual excursion to River View tomorrow, and the committee in charge are lcoking for a large attendance. There will be music and dancing all day, the chute and other amusements will be ready 8) ce, and all who attend are pro: 7 a good time.

The funeral of Aaron Brunn, who com- mitted suicide Monday at Long bridge, was held yesterday from No. 330 Missouri ave- nue, where he had resided. The services, which were conducted by Rev. L. Stern of the Washington Hebrew congregation, of which the deceased was a member, were attended by a large number of persons. On the casket were flowers from friends and wreaths of roses from the different or- ganizations to which Mr. Brunn belonged. The services were brief and impressive, Dr. Stern making but few remarks, and the body was then taken to the Hebrew cemetery, where it was laid to -est with Masonic honors. ‘The palibearers were from different coun- cils and lodges. Those from Washington Centennial Lodge of Masons were B. S. Trueworthy and J. W. Gregory; Lafayette Chapter, No. 6, M. Gersdorf and G. Curran; Capiial Council, Royal Arcanum, B. Gus- dorf; Denova Council, Legion of Honor, H. Baumgarten. All these organizations, as well as Minnia Klagberg Lodge, O. K. S. B., were repre- sented by large delegations, and some of the members of the most prominent He- brew circles in the city were present at the funeral. ——>—__ Salvation Army and Colored People. To the Editor of The Evening Star: On the evening of the 14th instant. in company with a lady who is visiting the city, I went to the Salvation Army tent on th street near R. The place was almost filled, so we took seats in the rear, but sat there only a few minutes before one of the men quietiy told us that “no colored people are allowed in the tent.” Having no desire to force ourselves upon them we obeyed their wishes and left the grounds. To say that I was surprised would scarcely express my feelings on the matter, and it is best that I waited a few days to write this letter. I have read of the sacrifice made by many of the Salvation Army, and have often stood at their meetings on the street when the weather was of the worst kind and tnought to myself that to be a member of that band must mean some- thing more than an outward appearance, but since my experience last week I’m eorry to say that much doubt exists as to the sincerity of at least a few of the Salvation Army. If they desire to save only certain classes or races, the tents may as well be torn down, for I do not be- Neve that God will allow any Christian or- ganization to prosper when they refuse admittance to any one because of color. Much has been said of the great prejudice throughout the south, and there is a great deal of it there, but people are not asked to leave the churches because they are col- ored. I do not write this letter to gain no- toriety, but with the hope thet it may lead to the real conversion of these people, and that they may try to learn that all man- kind, white or black, is to be saved, and thet they can no more shirk the responsi- bility of saving the colored brother than did Cain dodge the responsibility of his brother’s death when he said “Am I my brother's keeper?” WHY? ——_>—__ “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers. USE :OF WEAPONS Times When ‘Péliosgén an Draw Their “Revaivers. Frequent Violntiess tion: the Regula- Need of Instruction Peintel Out. “The revolver: should never be drawn, much less discharged, for the purpose of intimidation.” Thisisecticn of the police manual was charged: to have been violnted by Policeman Harrover, who was given a hearing befcre the trial board yesterday, as Published in yesterday's Star. In view of the circumstances attending the use of the weapon the members of the police force are much interested in the outcome of the case. Judges of the Police Court frequently hear of the reckless use of the pistol in the hands of the police, and sometimes they take occasion to lecture the officers for such recklessness, but very few of such officezs have been havled up before the trial board. The rules of the department on this ques- tion say: ‘The revolver in the hands of the members of the force shall not be used ex- cept in the most urgent cases, and in such manner that the lives of innocent parties may aot be jeopardized thereby. “Wanton disregard of life by an ofticer, in the careless use of his revolver, will sub- Ject him to removal from the force. “The revolver should never be drawn, much less discharged, for the purpose of intimidation.” : In the cave of the officer tried yesterday his defense was that he fired his revolver for the purpose of intimidation, as well as to attract the attention of officers on the adjoining beat, because there was a big crowd following him and stones were being thrown. The question of arming policemen and teaching them how to use their revolvers will soon be given some consideration. Maj. Harries, in his report on the police department, in response to a request from Commissioner Wight, had this to say on the subject: “One of the altogether remarkable con- ditions which has not yet attracted public attention fs the arming of policemen with revolvers, although in nincty-nine cases out of one hundred the policeman knews prac- tically nothing of the arm, and has not been taught the first principles of marks- manship. That every officer should be so armed must be evident to all persons hav- ing any knowledge of police duty. It there- fore follows that the ofticsr should know how to use with a greater or Jess degree of skill the deadiy weapon he Is required to carry and may sometimes be compelled to use. “A course of instruction should be insisted upon, and it would probably be only tie proper thing to withhold the issue of re- velvers to those officers who develop in- ability to handle them with due regard for the safety of thems-ives, their associates and the unoffending public. At present, it Is state. very little atten- tion is paid to the question of weapons, and they are not sven tested before they are given to the officers. ‘There was a time when they were discharged and passed upon before being issued, but this is not done now. The result is, it !s st by some of the officers, that they have defec- se gency arises the aveapon may not be ab to do its work. Only about six weeks ego a weapon failed: to work, and its failure had the possible: effect of permitting a murderer to escape. GPlis happened a the pursuit of Dersey Foultz. He was on Bluebird Hill:by ‘a policeman, and, be- ing some distanee away, the officer drew his revol and attempted (o discharge it. Several times the trigger war H but each time it missed fire, and the fugi- tive murderer was soon in the woods out of sight. During past ycars as the trial of Police Court cases ‘showed, scores of policemea have used their revolvers in a reckless manner, and some of them ad- mitted they had so used their werpons because they had»nat-been given the proper instructions. os end Santiny nt Oqean City, Md. 83 Cheapest: ‘Trip—Fiaest Beach. $3 The smost popular, seashore «trip with Washingtonians. ;Take 3 p.m: train, B. and ©., Saturday, home Sunday, 10 p.m. Time, 4% hours.

Had the intruder entered the house by the front door he might have been apprehended and locked up for bur- glary, but fortunately for him he had en- tered through the skylight from the roof.

An alarm was turned in from box 241, but when the engines arrived the smoke had cleared away, and there was nothing for them to do. In responding to the alarm the firemen had great difficulty in making headway on account of the great number of bicyclists who tried to set the pace for the engines, in corsequence of which one of the horses attached to the engine of No. 9 company shied and stumbled, narrowly escaping a fall. Chief Parris has on a number of occa- sions called the attention of the police to this nuisance, but it still goes on unabated. Seenaeey If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

Charged With Having Committed a Heinous Offemse Near Laurel. A colored man named Andrew Thomas, about forty-five years old, is under crrest and behind the bars at the ninth precinct station as a fugitive from justice. It is said he is wanted for an alleged attempted assault on a small white girl near Laurel, but he protests his jnnocence, and is anx- lous to remain here instead of going to Marlboro’, the county seat, for trial. He Was arrested near Benning by Policeman Boland, on complaint of Constable Rollins. It was the intention of the police to hold the prisoner in the station and then turn him over to the constable, but the latter said he preferred to have Sheriff Under- wood come for him. Now that the police realize the nature of the charges against the prisoner, they have some apprehension for his safety when he returns to Mary- land, and they will-surrender him only on a requisition. Thomas says he lived on the farm of Mr. Street Waters near Laurel, and near him lived a family named Coates. What he Was doing on the Coates farm Saturday he will not tell, but he says Mr. Coates threatened to kill him for no reason what- ever, and when he learned there was a warrant out for his arrest he was willing to stand trial. He said he knew he was innocent of the offense against Mr. Coates’ child, and he did not leave the country until he became convinced that he would be killed. The prisoner had tramped through the country until he reached Ben- ning. The officers are now waiting to hear from the sheriff. Attorney Hewlett called to see the prisoner today, and is looking after his interests. He has instructed his client to say nothing about the case, and he will also go into court witH him should the sheriff come with a requisition.

John Sullivan, a young white man of twenty-two years, particularly desired a bridle and pair of lines the 15th of last month. Mr. Robert C. McChesney having such articles in his stable, John broke into {t and possessed himself of them. He so confessed to Judge Cole today, also admit- ting that he but recently completed a three-months term in jail for petit lar- ceny, and that there fs still another charge pending against him. “I could give you,” remarked the court, “ten years in the penitentiary, and I do not know but that I ought to, for your admissions show you to be any but a law-abiding citizen. But as you did not break into a dwelling house, I will simply give you half the maximum penalty. The sentence of the court is, therefore, that you be confined in the Ntw Jersey’ state prison at hard labor for the period of five years. Try to behave yourself when you get out.” Faults ee It matters little what it is that you want —whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need.
