The movement undertaken by public- spirited citizens of Washington to bring the annual convention of the National Educa- tional Association to the national’ capital in 1898 is growing in strength and purpose, and arrangements are now in progress which will, it is confidently believed, be so complete and generous that the officers of the association will gladly decide to ac- cept the invitation. There was a very satisfactory meeting held Saturday at the board of trade rooms in the Ames building. It was presided over by Col. Henry S. Blount, with Mr. Arthur O'Neill as secretary, and among those pres- ent were Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, Miss A. T. Smith, Superintenderft of Public Schools Powell, Mr. Archibald Greenlees, Mr. Marcus Baker, Mr. A. T. Stewart and Mr. Yhomas W. Smith. It is a well-known fact that the members of the National Educational Association would much prefer meeting in Washington to any other city, and at the recent con- vention the invitation of the District Com- missioners to come here next year was greeted with much pleasure. In an inter- view published in The Evening Star some time since, Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, who is ene of the most influential members of the association, and who has held every office of importance in it, from president down, recited, in a very interesting manner, the lvantages which the assvciation and all its members would enjoy holding the convention in this city, where such” prac- tical lessons of the national government could be learned from personal contact with its institutions and the rich fields of his- toric interest surrounding the capital, wnich could be explored with so much profit by the educators, and the experiences thus sained add to their ability in teaching the oung. The Railroad Rates. — The reports of several of the committees having the preliminary matters in charge were submitted to the meeting. Mr. Green- lees, from the transportation committee, made the gratifying announcemant that it was regarded as certain by officials of the timore and Ohio railroad that the trunk lines would enter into an agreement for lew rates from all points for those who would attend the convention. Col. Blount, from the hotel committee, made a par report, stating that nearly all the hotel preprietors in town would make reasonable rates for accommodations, and offered un- usual accommodations for committee rooms and similar purposes. Superintendent Poy ell announced that the managers of Con- vention Hall, Center Market Hall and se eral of the theaters had agreed to give lib- eral terms for their use for convention pur- poses. The meeting decided that the financial committee should issue a circular letter to the people of the District presenting the subject of the proposed visit of the asso- ciation and calling for subscriptions to a fund to guarantee its proper reception and entertainment. Estimated Benefits. In relation to this fund Mrs. Sara A. Spencer made some pertinent remarks, showing what great material benefit would ensue to Washington by the presence of the convention, estimating that nearly $1,000,000 was usually spent during a con- vention by the members of the association and their friends in the city where it is held. It is proposed to raise a fund of about $10,000, which will amply guarantee the coming next year of the association, ani from the energy being displayed by the committees there seems to be little doubt that the required amount will be forth- coming. There will be another meeting at the beard of trade rooms at 1:30 o'clock next Saturday afternoon. THE PULPIT VOICES. Ideas Advanced by Various Churches Yesterday. Rey. Dr. John S. MacIntosh of Phila- delphia preached to a large congregation at the Church of the Covenant yesterday. Dr. MaclIniosh’s sermon was a forceful deliverance, enhanced by the easy manner and good voice of the speaker. A brief address was delivered at St. Mar- garet’s Episcopal Church yesterday by Rev. D. K. Brown, missionary to Brazil. While his sermon was +rief, it was to the point, arid presented some old thoughts in at- tractive dress. A sermon on “Veto Power” was delivered last night at Wesley Chapel, Methodist Episcopal Church, by Rev. J. Fred Heisse, the pastor. This will be Mr. Heisse’s last serman until September 5, at which time he will return from his summer vacation. Dr. Radcliffe’s pulpit at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church was occupied yesteraay morning by Rev. Robert P. Kerr, D.D., of Richmond. Dr. Kerr discussed “The Revelation,” and his interesting mon was listened to by a large congreg: tion. The gospel meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association was addressed yes- terday afternoon by Rev. D. H. Stewart, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Ar. kansas City, Kan. Mr. Stewart is at pres ent occupying the .pulpit of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, in the absence of Dr. Kelly. The local chapter, Epworth League, held a prayer and praise service at the Foun- dry M. E. Church last night. Rev. Lucien Clark, D.D., conducted the exercises. As an introductory discourse he preached a sermon on “‘Self-denial.” Rev. Dr. Kent preached at the People’s Church, Typographical Temple, yesterday to a thoroughly interested and large au- dience. One of Dr. Kent’s points nas a eulogy of Bellamy, whose name he asso- ted in the philosephy of life, individual and special, with that of Christ. In place of the usual service at the Luth- eran Memerial Church last evening a re- union meeting of the Christian Endeavor so- cieties of the First Congregational, North Presbyterian, K Memorial and Luther Place churches held. The meeting was an echo of the San Francisco convention. Rev. J. G. Butler conducted the services, A number of the Endeavorers gave inter- esting and glowing accounts of their trip to the Pacific. The congregation worshiping in the hall corner of 41% and M streets southwest, Elcer W. J. Wright, pastor, was addressed terday morning, by request, by Prof. J. Fraise Richard of the Modern Normal Col- lege. His subject, ‘‘Contend earnestly fo the faith once delivered unto the saint is based upon the language of Jude, 3d verse. The speaker distinguished carefully be- tween “faith” as a living, Christian prin- ciple and “the faith” which represents the sysiem of Christianity as propounded by Christ and the apostles, and as opposed to the law of Moses. “The faith,” the speaker contended, “has some marks by which it may be known, and for which Christians ought to contend. “1. It is as old as the New Testament, and only outlined there; 2, it has a divine foundation—Jesus Christ; 3, it has uniform terms of initiation or membership; 4, it has @ peculiar organization, founded on a di- vine model; 5, it has a peculiar dialect or nomenclature, found only in the living cra- cles; 6, it has the spirit of Christ for its molding characteristic." For this faith or system the Christian was exhorted to contend earnestly. Theologians in Cool off tonight on the river.

It is Not a Training School for Boy: To the Editor of The Evening Star: Your article in The Star of July 17 under the caption of “Music for Ships” is so er- roneous and misleading I am constrained to addresg you on the subject in order that the impressions conveyed may be erad- icated. In the first place, it is not a training school for the band. A certain number of beys—not under fourteen or over sixteen years of age—are allowed by law as ap- prentices to music. They are taught the drum and bugle and also reading, writing and arithmetic. When qualified they are rated as “field music,” and are then liable to detail at other barracks or vessls of war, as their services may be needed. Your article has been copied in several of the journals of other states, and has caused much expense to residents outside of Washington. I have had numerous per- sonal visits from parents and others, fre- quently accompanied by boys, who, having read this article, come here at much trou- le and expense to place their boys in the service, only to find there are no vacancies. I have now on file about thirty applica. tions, some dating back nearly a year, and nearly all from boys who are the orphan children of old marines or soldiers, to whom preference is always given. I trust that you will find some way to publicly remove the impression that so er- roneously prevails, and thereby save trou- ble and expense to many who can hardly fford such outlay. =a F. Hh. HARRINGTON, Captain, U. S. Marine Corps, Commanding Marine Barracks. ———— EXCURSIO} Tomorrow night the postponed excursion of the Catholic Knights of St. Joseph's Church will take lace at Marshall Hall. The excursion was to have beer on July 2oth, but the inclement weather necessi- tated a postponement. All tickets sold for that date will be good on any of the Mai 3 alester's trips tomorrow—at 10 a.m., or 6:30 p.m. Grace Shannon, the aeronaut, attained another success-yesterday at River View, when she ascended nearly 6,000 feet in her big balloon and descended in a parachute harmed. The ascension was made about 15 o'clock, just after the Pentz got in from her last trip to Washington, and was witnessed by over 2,000 people. When the big hot air bag was cut loose, it went up in the air ke a rocket until an elevation of about 6,000 feet was reached. Then Miss Shannon cut the parachute loose and de- scended softly on the shores of Swann creek, near old Fort Washington. The as- cension was one of the most successful ever given at the View, and its success has determined Capt. Randall to have Miss Shannon repeat the ascension again on Wednesday next. Tonight has been selected by the man- agement for an extra run to Indian Head to accommodate the crowds who are anx- fous to enjoy the pleasure of the outing. The coolness of the river is pronounced as soon us the boat is turned out into the stream, and nothing but comfort and en- joyment is in store for the guests until the home wharf is again touched. Four hours of continucus sailing are included in the program, with music by Schroeder mean- while. There is not another route from Washington by any means of travel that carries one through such picturesque spots and magnificent scenery. At Marshall Hall the boat will stop both going and return- ing. An example of the forethought of the management is evidenced in the provision of a barber shop. The convenience to the gentlemen is evident at a glance. The Macalester leaves tonight at 6:30 o'clock. ———— AMUSEMENTS, KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—The first attraction at Kernan’s Lyceum § will be seen at that popular playhouse August 7, the opening of the regular theatrical season there.

W. Brawner, Amputationcto Rrevent Blood Poison- ing—Three. Officers Have Experi- ence With a, Canoc—Briefs. Evening Star Bureau, No. 530 King st. (Beik/Telephone No. 106.) ALEXANDRIA, Va, August 2, 1897. The condition of Mr. George Cleveland, whose right arm was. amputatéd at the Alexandria Infirmary yesterday, was re- Ported to be a little better when The Star reporter called at the infirmary this morn- ing. Cleveland, it will be remembered, was shot by Mr. T. W. Brawner on Suter’s Hill several nights ago, Mr..Brawner claiming that Cleveland had attempted to hold him up. After receiving the shot, which entered his lung, Cleveland lay alongside the road all night, and did not receive medical at- tention until after 8 o'clock the next morn- ing. On closer investigation it was found that the bullet had severed an artery lead- ing to the right arm, the blood had coagu- jated, and it was found necessary to ampu- ‘tate the arm at the shoulder to prevent gangrene from setting in. The operation Was successfully performed by Drs. R. M. Slaughter, H. P. Howard, Wm. M. Smith and other physicians of the infirmary staff. It is hoped it will result in saving Cleve- land’s life. An Exciting Trip. Officers Wilkinson, Proctor and Deane have returned from St. George’s Island, While there Officer Deane purchased a canoe and the men determined to sail her to Alexandria. They started in good shape, having aboard plenty of provisions, and hoped to reacn home with their prize, but in this they were disappointed, for after having been out twenty-four hours they were becalmed, and it looked: as if they would not get home at all. They were caught in a terrific storm Saturday night, which, it is sald, caused Officer Wilkinson to lose all of his healthy tan, he having turned white with fright. Find- ing that sailing up the river in a small sailboat was not what it was “cracked up to be” they abandoned the boat at River- side and took the steamer. A tugboat will be sent for the canoe, and it will be brought to this city and used as a police boat. Dixorderly Affair. There was quite a great deal of excite- ment Saturday afternoon at Brawner’s stcre, caused by a fight, in which two negro men named Tibbs and Arthur Man- kin figured. Mankin claimed that he nad been assaulted by Wm. Tibbs, and in self- defense threw a weight at him., The weight struck Tom Mann, an innocent party, in the face, making quite a bruise. In the police court this morning Tibbs was fined $5 for assault, and Mankin was fined $5 for throwing the weight. Alex. Howard Dead. Alex. Howard, a well-known and highly respected colcred citizen, died at his home on North Patrick ‘street at an early hour yesterday mgrning‘of Bright's disease.
