Would Result From Bringing Next x Year's Convention to This City, Colonel Henry F. Blount, chairman of the local executive committee of the National Educational Association, and the finance committee, which consists of Thomas W. Smith, chairman; Mrs. Sera A. Spencer, Rev. B. L. Whitman, 8. W,. Woodward, Albert M. Read, 8. B. Hege, A. T. Stuart, John F. Cook and B. K. Bruce, have ad- dressed a circular to the citizens of Wash- ington reciting the reasons why the Na- tional Educational Association should as- semble here in 1898. The circular states that the great associa- tion, numbering mcre than 15,000 leading educators of the nation, and répresenting half a million teachers and all of the edu- cational interests of the world, from the university to the kindergarten and child study, has never met in the-capital of the United States, nor has it been invited to assemble here until now. On the Sth of July, nine invitations to assemble here in July, 1898, were presented to the association from the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, from the trus- tees of the public schools, trom the board of trade, from all of the universities and from leading scientific associations. Ur- gent invitations were also presented from Omaha, Neb.; Los Angeles, Cal., and Salt Lake City, Utah, and these four cities are now under consideration by the executive committee of the National Educational As- sociation. Whether it will meet in Washington, says the circular, will depend upon the prompt- ness of action in making ample provisions for its mammoth assemblies, the great va- riety of cotemporaneous sessions, and the entertainment and comfort of its delegates and the vast number of friends of educa- tion who accompany them. Excelient Effects Désecribed. Continuing, it says: “If this organization holds its next meeting in this city all of the teachers, school children and college students in the United States will know it, and talk about it for a year to come, and for many years thereafter, and intelligent people throughout .the country will be thinking of Washington as a natural, po- tential and actual educational center. “The members of this association are not dependent. They pay their own way, and carefully collected statistics show that they leave more than a million dollars in a city or state where they assemble. “They have accumulated from member- ship fees a fund of $60,000, which they pro- pese to increase to $100,000, to carry out and enlarge their great educational work. “They have wrought a revolution in pub- lic sentiment on educational questions wherever they have been, stimulating am- bition and industry, awakening parents and citizens to the need of improved methods ard economy of time and life forces, en- couraging local pride, and causing such a general illumination that wherever it is held neighboring states and cities urge invitations to come to them also. For in- stance, in 1884, it assembled in Madison, Wis. Milwaukee declares it revolutionized the state, and she has wanted it ever since. In 1888 it met in’San Francisco, Cal., and Los Angeles declares it illuminated the Pacific coast, and she has continued to ask for it year after year. “The teachers of the United States desire to visit the national capital, and it is from teachers in all sections of the country that the impulse has come that found so hearty a response in our citizens ‘who recently gave the invitation from Washington, D.C., to the National Educational Association. “The treasures of art, science, literature and historic memories’ accumulated here are for the whole people, and in no way can their influence be so generally diffused as through the teachers of the land. “The local expenses of providing for this great assembly will be about $10,000, and clear-headed, ‘generous citizens who con- tribute to this amount will be repaid in full Measure through all the agencies and in- fluences named inthis circular.” ——___ TWELVE OF A KIND. Round Dozen of Fow! motion They and the Com- ‘aused. There is a lady in the northwestern sec- tion of the city Who keeps a boarding house, select, of course, with only nice, retined people to patronize it. The lady in ques- tion was reared in the country and gets much of the food which supplies her table from the little town in which she resided before coming to the capital. Some time ago a poultry dealer in her tewn wrote that he would sell her a num- ber of chickens, about a dozen and a halt, at reduced rates, and the offer was accept- ed. The money was sent and the chickens were shipped here to Washington. After they had arrived and been examined, it was discovered that every one of them was a rooster. They had rather a dilapidated ap- pearance, resembling a stag party whicn has been on a fishing or hunting trip. with liquid accompaniments. Two or three of them looked as if they had been attempt- ing to settle the Cuban business, offhand, between themselves. They were a tair- looking lot of lusty young roosters, how- ever, and the lady of the boarding house was pretty well satisfied with her bargain. The roosters were placed in a large chicken house in the back part of the yard, while the funny boarder amused himself and made the hysterical young department girl wiggle almost unceasingly by making jokes about the mistress of the household having established a monastery, bachelors’ hall, and so on. ‘The neighborhood in which the boarding house is located is a quiet @ne, and the people having residences there are par- ticularly fond of sleeping late. Speaking of what happened the morning after the ar- rival of the roosters, cne of the boarders in the house Sald to The Star man: “I recollect I was dreaming that I was an inmate of an enchanted barnyard, con- demned to die a terrible death by the rowing of immense roosters. Then I had @ hazy notion I was in a big pond, with millions upon millions of bullfrogs, each large as a barrel, with a voice like a fog- horn, croaking abcut me. When I woke fully I found out it was the roosters in the back yard. : “I never heard such a noise since I at- tended a woman's rights convention. You couldn't lose them. When one _ rooster would rest a bit another would take his place with renewed vigor, and there was no cessation. It was more like a congress of Siren Whistles and Fife and Flute Amal- gamated Societies than anything that could be imagined.” The roosters kept it up morning after morning until the neighbors complained, and the lady was worried almost into tears. She could not kill all the chickens at one time, and their voices seemed to increase in strength from practice. She finally hit upon a plan which was successful, and account- ed for the scare which a colored gentleman received ard which he described as fol- lows: “Dey is de funniest chickens I ever run across up in a back yahd I wuz foolin’ eroun today. "Deed dey is. I nebber "mag- gined no chickens like dem, suah. Dey Must suttenly be a new breed from some for’n country. I don’ want nuttin’ ter do wid dem kin’ of fowls. Dey is al! haid, and look lak white balloonses movin’ eroun’ on laigs. Dey is chickens all right ernuff, kase I seed deir taif feathers. “I ain’ sayin’ what I might er done if 1 had er good chance and dey ‘was natchu! chickens, but I ain’t gwine ter monkey wid ee ecoas fowls, honey, not on yer hoe- cake = It was no wonder that a strange tmpres- sion was made upon the mind of the col- ored marauder, for in order to stop their crowing the lady had tied a paper bag around the head of each rooster, so that they carried their dark rooms with tiem wherever they went, and a rooster will not work his clarion in darkness. + Changes at Fort Washington. Lieut. Gordon G. Heiner, 4th Artillery, has been ordered to proceed to Fort Washing- ton, Md., for temporary duty with Battery A, relieving Lieut. W. 8. Guignard, 4th Artillery, who will return to Washing‘on barracks and report to the post comman- der for duty with Battery I. Capt. Wm.-F. Carter, assistant surgeon, has nm reHeved from temporary duty at Fort Washington, end ordered to return to his proper station, Baltimore, * THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, AUGUST 56, 1897—12 EXCURSIONS. ifhe children from St. Joseph's and St. Vincent's orphan asylums had a good time at River View yesterday as the guests of ‘Miss Estelle Randall. Two or three times @ach year Cupt. Randall gives the orphans éf the various asylums in the District a ‘Gay's outing at his pleasant resort, and yesterday~was the day assigned to St. Jo- seph’s and St. Vincent’s. The children, in charge of the sisters, went down on the early boat, and had a good time. They were taken down the chute, and had much .fun on the roller coaster, fiying horses, etc. In the evening they saw Miss Grace Shan- non make a fine balloon ascension and parachute drop from a height of about 3,000 feet, and when she landed in a corn field a few hundred yards north of the View, there was a mad race to see who would reach the spot first. The children returned home on the 5 p.m. boat, tired, but delighted with their trip. Rev. Father Gloyd and Rev. Dr. Stafford of St. Pat- rick’s Church accompanied the orphans to River View. It’s the runs to Indian Head on the Mac- alester Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights that afford town people the oppor- tunity to forget the heat amid the down- the-river breezes that never fail. Four hours of absolute comfort, mingled with en- tertainment of the highest order, hold out inducements that folks are quick to grasp. To every patron of river resorts these sails on the Potomac, the music on the boat by Schroeder's men, and the natural beauty of the scenery afford an evening's enjoy- ment that is exhilarating in the extreme. Both on the down and return trips the Macalester stops at Marshall Hall, so that those who prefer to spend some time on the lawns, or walking through the groves have the opportunity offered them. Those who take one of the earlier boats and wish to make the additional trip-to the Head and return have that privilege, and no charge is made for the extra sail. The popularity of the run is attested to by hundreds of fg)ks, who never miss a trip at least once ‘Week. The Macalester leaves Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6:30. The steamer Jane Moseley will leave to- morrow morning at 9 o'clock for Colonial Beach. This is the regular Friday family excursion to Colonial Beach, when the round-trip tickets are reduced to twenty- five cents. These family excursions have in the past induced many hundreds of Washington's sweltering population to make the trip, and the last few days of hot weather that Washington has enjoyed will no doubt increase the regular number tomorrow. The Moseley leaves her wharf every morning in the week except Mondays for Colonial Beach at 9 o'clock, and Satur- day evening at 6 o'clock. The trip is one of the most delightful that could be de- vised, and Colonial Beach, the objective point, offers every inducement that could be thought of to make an excursion re- sort thoroughly enjoyable and popular. The attractions at Colonial Beach are supple- mented by salt water bathing, boating, fishing and crabbing, the first-named being particularly good at this place. > AMUSEMENTS. NEW NATIONAL THEATER—In addi- tion to thé “The Paper Chase," with which the Bond Company have been entertaining the patrons of the National during tie present week, “A Box of Monkeys” will be given tonight and the balance of the week ag a curtain raiser. “A Box of Monkeys” is brimful of fun, and will enlist the ser- vices of five members of this clever com- pany. It will be in the nature of a de- parture from the regular con:edy season of- ferings, as it will serve to introduce special- ties by several of the artists. MissMaude Al- lan, the little Washington soubrette, will give her inimitable interpretation of Anna Hield’s famous efforts in English of “Won't You Come and Play With Me?” Miss Allan will do this song in coftume a la Anna Held, including that marvelous arrange- ment of her golden’ tresses. This will posi- tively be the last week of the Bond en- Bagement, and there remain but four op- portunities to witness this favorite come- Gian. BENEFIT AT GLEN ECHO-—A testi- monial benefit will be tendered Messrs. By- ron G. Harlan and Tom Wilkinson, jr., tie “Merrie Monarchs” of Glen Echo, by the management of that resort and their many friends this evening in the amphitheater. Although the grounds are beautiful, an effort will be made to have them looking better tonight than they ever have before, and countless Chinese lanterns, electric lights and other forms of decoration will be made to serve the purpose. Among the attractions that will participate in the berefit are the Boston Fadettes, the lady orchestra of twenty-five pieces that has been delighting Washington audiences for scme time; the Madrids, mandolin and guitar club; the Fadette Brass Quariet, Misses Goodirg, Hipplar, Cunningham and Wilmot; Master Robert Emmet Walsh, the boy sopraro; Mr. Finley S. Hayes, in an “Ethiopian Fantasie; Al. Stern, the imita- tor; Mr. Myron Baker, trick bicyclist; the Danish Sisters in a singing and dancing specialty; Mr. Rawlins in a_black-face turn, and Messrs. Harlan and Wilkinson in a number of their well-known songs. In addition to this strong bill the Cinemato- graphe will show an entirely new set of views for this occasion. 2 Excursion to Point Breeze Park via Pennsylvania R.

There was a large attendance at the meeting of the McKinley and Hobart Club in Wonn’s Hall last night. Vice President ‘Thes. G. Hensey occupied the chair. A committee consisting of Messrs. Odell, Weed, Lee, Garrison and Crossthwaite was appointed to wait on President McKinley and inform him that Col. Myron M. Par- ker is the unanimous choice of the club for appointment as United States marshal for the District of Columbia. Resolutions were presented by Benj. F. Oliphant appointing @ committee of fifteen members to draw up a-set of resolutions to be presented to Congress asking that the District of Co- lumbia be given the right of suffrage and representation in Congress, and to ask Con- gress to provide for an election at_ which all who are entitled to vote in the District nay decide whether they shall have such suffrage and representation. Vice Presi- dent Hensey spoke at length in favor of the subject matter of the resolutions, and they were unanimously adopted, Mr. Hen- sey being also given a rising vote of thanks for his remarks. There was extended dis- cussion over the operations of the civil service law, which was participated in by a number of members. The present ex- tensions of the law were criticised by Messrs. Lee, Odell, Powell, Hensey, Leud and others, and a committee, composed of Messrs. Taylor, Jacobs and Lee, was ap- pointed to formulate a civil service circular and submit it to the President. ——__ Transfers of Real Estate. pmietoet northwest between 6th and 7th streets— ‘elter H.

The Official Repogts Received From the Toronto @ogvention—Balance Left After Paying Expenses. The midsummer-meeting of the board of control of the Washington District Ep- worth League is usually not a very inter- esting one, but the one held last night at Foundry Church differed very decidedly from the usual run of such meetings, The executive of the District League, Mr. W. 8. Dewhirst, presided, and, after the usual devotional exercises and preliminary busi- ness, called for the reperts of the commit- tees in charge of the international conven- tion held at Toronto. This committee's re- port was the first surprise, for, instead of the committee asking the board of control to make up a deficit, they were able to turn into the treasury a neat sum, after paying all expenses. 2 While at the convention, and later, those who attended knew in a general way that the Washington delegation had been well looked after, but how well was not learned in detail until last evening. The state- ments were made by the chairman of the committee, Mr. Frank T. Israel, secretary of the District league, and the chairman, Mr. E. S. La Fetra of Metropolitan Church Chapter. Upon these gentlemen and the several others composing the committee de- volved the work of making the prepara- tions, and they succeeded so well that itis possible the next international convention after the one to be held two years hence may come to Washington. In fact, the board of control had been considering the matter for some time, and had even can- canvassed the various chapters, but the latter, with the magnitude of the Christian Endeavor convention before their eyes, did not care to undertake the task, and con- sequently the efforts at Toronto for Wash- ington lacked substantial backing. Next Big Convention. The Washington leaguers will, however, be able to attend a large convention this time next year of the fourth general con- ference district league, in which Washing- ton is situated. It is to be held at Wheel- ing, W. Va. It is a coincidence that at the last conference district convention the Washington leaguers were in charge of their president, Mr. W. Burdette Matthews, and now at Wheeling they will be wel- comed by Mr. Matthews, who has just been elected president of the West Virginia State League. Mr. Matthews left Wash- ington last fall to engage in the practice of law at Moundsville, in that state. A surprise was tendered the board of control, when toward the close of the meet- ing the recording secretary, Mr. Frank T. Israel of McKendree Church, rose and an- nounced his resignation of the position and also as chairman of the press and printing committees. Mr. Israel has been in the office of secretary for the past four years, and in consequence is probably the best known member of the Epworth League jn Washington. The resignation of Mr. Isrfel removes the last of three members of the Washington District League, who have taken unusually prominent part in its work, the others being Mr. Matthews, just mentioned, and Mr.:#red E. Tasker, who resigned the officeiof»président in the spring to remove to New: York city, where he is engaged in the patent business. Tendered » Vete of Thanks. Mr. Israel intends te commence the study of law this winter,.but will not sever bis connection with the league. beyond leaving the office of secretary.. For the present the duties of the office will be cared for by the assistant secretary, Miss Corinne Chandlee of Foundry Chapter: Mr. Israel was ten- Gered a vote of thanks by the board of control, as was alsoithe chairman of the Toronto committee amd of the transporta- tion committee. The league will not:have any more public meetings until the shot weather is over, though the board -of control is to meet the first Wednesday~ in! September. The pro- gram for the fav includes a mass meeting, to be held in the earty part of October, un- der the auspices of the literary depart- ment, of which the District third vice pres- ident, Miss Mays, is the head. About a month after this meeting the annual con- vention of the league, at which the officers for the ensuing year are to be elected, will be held, though the time and place have not as yet been decided upon. —————__ 83 Special Rate to Fott Monroe, $3 Norfolk, Va.

Captain Shil- ling and his team will endeavor to equal, both Saturday afternoon and evening, the magnificent exhibition that, in the opinion of the vast majority of spectators, should have won first prize and the Galveston Semi-Centennial Championship Cup in the Texas competition. For several days past the company has been at work in order that the boys shall be in good condition for the exhibitions. The local public has not yet seen the San Antonio drill team at work, and therefore the appearances Saturday are of more than passing interest and will doubtless attract thousands of spectators. There is another consideration that should not be overlooked. In their laudable ambition to participate in the San Antonio contest and retain the championship with- in the District National Guard, the Morton Cadets were put to a heavy expense. The second prize of $1,000 awarded the company by the drill association did not cover the ecst of the trip by half. The Mortons, therefore, are rather heavily in debt, and the proceeds of the excursion and drills Saturday will be devoted to placing the young company on the road to financial freedom. As the Washington people aro thoroughly satisfied that the drill of the cadets at San Antonio was easily a first prize winner, the boys anticipate a gen- erous patronage Saturday. ‘The steamer Macalester will leave the wharf at 10 a.m., 2:30 and 6:30 p.m., and the River Queer at 9:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. On the 6:30 p.m. trip the Macalester passengers May _ continue on the boat as far as Indian Head and return. Tickets sold on the morn- ing boats wil! be credited to the cadets.

Hotel, GIVEN CHRISTIAN BURIAL, Remains of Marie L. olds ‘Im terred at Rock Creek etery. The body of Marie L. Reynolds, who died at the Washington alms house Sunday night, as stated in the next succeeding issue of The Star, was laid to rest yester- day in Rock Creek cemetery, a plot having been provided there by the managers. of: the Women’s Christian Home. Thé unfor- tunate woman was at one time an inmate of the institution, and the directors were interested in seeing that she had a Chris- tian burial. There were no mourners when the plain, hardwood casket, containing the figure which had been driven Yo desperation and despair, was placed in the undertak- er’s wagon to be taken to the burying ground. Owing to circumstances, the serv- ices over the remains were quite brief, and it was due only to the interest manifested by some lady visitors that there were any. ‘When they learned there was to be no service, they determined such a_ thing should not be permitted, if it could be pre- vented by them. Permission was granted, and messages were sent to a number of divines asking them to officiate. These were out of town or engaged elsewhere, and Rev. Edwin D. Bailey of the Central Union Mission was" sent for. He arrived and read a chapter from the Bible and offered a prayer. When this was finished all present immediately left, the coffin was placed in the wagon and taken to the cemetery, where it was lowered in the grave without further cere- mony. Augustus A. Reynolds, the last husband of the woman, is employed as a carriage builder by H. C. Grebel, 3d and H streets northwest. He expressed pleasure that his wife had been decently buried, but ex- hibited no special interest otherwise. He stated that his wife was a native of Cuba, born of French-Spanish parents. When quite young she came here and married Paymaster Edwin M. Hart, U. 8. N., but they soon separated, the wife going to live with a man named Schoonmaker, whom she subsequently married, one daughter being the result of this union. Schoon- maker died and the woman married Rey- nolds. The daughter is now an inmate of St. Martha's Home, New York city. Reynoids stated he and his wife did not live together happily, she having left him last Christmas, and he made no effort to find her. He further stated she was an opium fiend and drank to excess. ee Floral designs. Gude, 1224 F.—Advt. ——— FUNERAL SERVICES. Last Tribute to Be Paid to the Late Mrs. Murdock.

Two of the members had won the cup twice, and another victory by either would have emied the match. Mr. Williams proved equal to the occasion Tuesday, and won the seventh competition, under the follow- ing conditions: Seven shots offhand at 200 yards on the standard target. The score was: Williams, 50; Carleton, 49; Graham, 49; Gheen, 47; Cookson, 45; Holt, 45, and Shaw, 44. In the practice match, first shot off, the scores were not up to the standard. Gheen won the match, crowding the veteran Creedmoor shooter, Farrow, to second po- sition. The following are the scores, ten shots at 200 yards, offhand, on the standard target: Gheen, 76; Farrow, 75: Carleton, 71; Shaw, 69; Williams, 66; Graham, 61, and Holt, 54. en $10.00 to Niagara Fi Through train of coaches and Pullman parlor cars frcm B. and O. station, Wash- ington, 8:10 a.m., August 12.
