Thirty Representative Young Men to Solicit Subscriptions — Proposed Bazanr—Size of Structure. Secretary Multer of the Y. M. C. A. Is hard at work arranging details and per- fecting plens for the successful canvass for subscriptions to the proposed new building’ of the association. The “steering commit- tee” meets daily, and has selected so far about 600 names of representative Wash- ingtonians, who will be visited and asked to contribute to the fund. These names wil. be distributed among the subcommit- tees of from five to ten persons each, who will be visited by those selected in person. Secretary Miller of the international com- mittee is expected here today from New York. He will give the results of his widely extended experience in such matters to the committee here, and it is thought much good will come from this. Wednesday evening thirty representative young men from the different young peo- ple’s societies in the District will be enter- tained at the residence of Mr. Charles E. Foster, 1017 6th street northwest. At this meeting arrangements will be made for the house-to-house canvass. This will not be begun, however, until the other matter of visiting the representative business men is finished. Classes in Night Schools. The classes in the night schools at the Y. M. C. A. are well filled. There are sixty students in the typewriting class and about sixty-five in stenography. Secretary Mul- ter regrets the fact. that there {is not enough room for other classes and students. It has been found necessary to provide ex- tra sessions to accommodate the students. Many of the young men come in from the country to attend the classes. The secretary is of the opinion that when the new building is completed it will be an excellent plan to have classes in the day time, as well as at night. Extra funds would have to be provided, however, as the teachers would have to employed for both sessions. The plan is working ex- cellently in New York city. The equip- ment will all be present in the contemplated local building. There is practically a business course now, and it could be ex- tended much more fully. The plans for the interior of the new building have been actically settled upon by the committee. On the street floor will be three store rooms, for rental. Di- rectly back of these will be the room for the lockers. Underneath will be the dress- ing rooms, swimming pool, needle baths and ethers, bowling alley, place for the heating apparatus, laundry and other essentials. The Auditorium. On the floor above will be located the auditorium, with seating capacity for 900 persons. This will be in the back of the building. In front will be the assocfation rooms proper, reception chamber, lecture, game and reading rooms, office and others. The plans provide that all front space on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors will be used for association purposes final- ly, though some time afcer the buildings is completed arrangements will be made to rent them as offices or for other purposes. This will be done until the building is paid for. Above the auditorium will be the gym- nasium, filling a space of 56x76 fect, with office of the physical director, board of physicians’ office and others. The athletic committee will be composed as far as prac- ticable of well-known physicians of the city, as the plan has been found to work finely in other cities, where the association buildings are on a large scale. Already arrangements have been put for- ward for holding a large bazaar, or expo- sition, for the benefit of the assoctation building. It will probably be continued a month, and it is expected that the re- ceipts from it will go a long way toward cefraying the expenses connected with the construction of the building. It is too early yet t+ state when the bazaar will be held. 2 rs Magara Falls via B. and 0. Special train of coaches and Pullman par- lor cars will leave Washington at 8:10 a.m., Tuesday.

Tour of Inspeetion by Dr. Goucher and Bishop Foss. Rev. Dr. John F. Goucher, president of the Woman's College of Baltimore Con- ference, M. E. Church, accompanied by Bishop Cyrus D. Fors, left New York today on the Kaiser Wilhelm Ii for Naples, en route to India. For the last fifteen years Dr. Goucher and his wife have supzorted one hundred and twenty village schools in India, and have established, besides, two hig ools In Moradabad. Each year a holarship is given to the most promising bey or girl from each school, entitling the pupil to go to a central school to receive an vanced education. hocls have an average attend- x0) a year, nearly all of this num- ber being con to Christianity. i stated that an incalculable amount of good has thus been accomplished, as the masses are not only taught to read and write, but, by the plan of scholarship, advanced ed: eation is provided for the most promisin; of whom 4) are already pastors and teach ers in India. The Moradabad high schools, from which students go up every year for the government university examinations, are parilally supperted by grants from the English government. It is the intention of Bishop Foss and Dr. Goucher to spend about a week in a few of the principal cities of Italy, afier which they will sail from Brindisi to Bom- bay, arriving at the latter place during the first week of next month. From there they expect to go to northern Italy, where they will visit the principal annual and district conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the leading educational in- stitutions. Central 2nd South India will be visited in their turn, and also the missions of Malaysia and the Straits settlements. The return will be made by way of China and Japan during March. Bishop Foss and Dr. Goucher are sent on a commission of investigation by the missionary board of the Methodist Episco- pal Church, chiefly for the purpose of de- termining the value of educational work in India in its relation to evangelical work. —_~.

A largely attended meeting of the vari- ous branches of the Catholic Knights of America of this city was held last evening in the hall of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum and arrangements made for a donation party at the Light Infantry Hall, 15th and E streets northwest, Thanksgiving night, for the purpose of aiding the asylum. The necessary committees were chosen to arrange the details, the following being chairmen of the committees named: Ex- ecutive, John Elbert; donation, T. T. Keane; reception, James W. Considine; master of ceremonies, J. H. Buscher; print- ing, Wm. H. De Lacy, who fs also ballet master; hall, D. Cdnnell. It is stated that St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum has no income outside of what it gets through the donations of charitable people, and, as it is conceded by those who are familiar with {ts operation to be do- ing good service to the community in car- ing for and educating the many boys who would otherwise be a public charge, it is believed the donation party will be a great success. —_——-__.

There was a most unusual case, or rath- er trio of cases, on trial today before Judge Mills in the Police Court, during which, it is alleged, a most exaggerated form of per- jury was committed. Judge Mills disposed of the cases us they stood, but announced tuat it was his intention to in gate the testimony further, and if perjury be clearly established the guilty party would prob- ably land in the peniten‘iary. Louls Williams, a white youth, was the defendant. He was charged by Policeman Gibson with riding a bicycle at a greater rate of speed than is allowed by law; with riding, after dark, without displaying a suitable light and with riding on the side- walk. Williams admitted that he rode on the sidewalk, but denied that he was guilty of the other charges. Policeman Gibson stated that last Wed- nesday night he was standing at the cor- ner of Yth and N streets. Williams rode past him a number of times at a high rate of speed. He rode along 9th street, said the policeman, at a rate of speed much greater than the electric railway cars. He rede on the sidewalk and rode without dis- playing a light. “When I called to him to light up his lamp,” stated the policeman, “he laughed at me. I walked toward him, and he jump- ed on his wheel 2nd rode off.” William Downey testified in such a way as to substantiate the statements of the policeman. “Who was on the corner at the time?” asked counsel for the defendant. “Williams, Maurice Joy Harry John- ” he answered. Taking the stand successively, Wiliiams and Joyce declared that the preceding wit- ness was not present on the occasion in avestion. “I was not there, either,” stated John- son. “Downey don’t know what he is talk- ing about when he says I was.” ‘The hearing was adjourned in order that Zech Downey might be summoned. When he reached court, Zach declared that his brother William was not at 9th and N streets the night of the 6th of October. “Where was he?” asked the court. ‘I think he was home; he was there when I got there,” was the answer. Williams denied most emphatically that he had violated the speed regulations. His light was extinguished, he declared, be- cause his wheel struck the sidewalk with a jar. after. Joyce stated with emphasis that Wil- liams was riding well within the speed limits. The witness attempted to make several statements derogatory to the police- man, but was not permitted by the court to do so. Judge Mills imposed a fine of $5 in each of the three cases. As stated, he intends to take further steps regarding the alleged perjury feature of the case. Contempt of court may also figure in the matter, it being charged that a messenger on a bicy- cle was sent to communicate with Zach Downey, after the court had directed that he be summoned to court by telephone and that no one communicate with him except the court bailiff.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—The stage of the Academy of Musie will be occupied tonight by Miss Bertha Creighton, who was iead- ing lady last season for Sol Smith Russell. Miss Creighton is starring this season in a classic repertoire, and has been niceting with marked success in the southern cities. The critics speak in high terms of her abil- ity. Miss Creighton will open her engage- ment with “Romeo and Jullet.” Miss Creighton’s conception of the part is said te be original, and her method may also be said to be ‘entirely her own. She is a dainty young creature in the early stage, and when love for Romeo takes possession of her, the action {is perfectly natural and not strained and overworked. As the play proceeds the responsibility of her part is fully realized by Miss Creighton, and her soliloquy in regard to the taking of the drug prescribed by Friar Lawrence is su- perb. —_—._—_ Testimonial a Success.

Another brutal crime was added Satur- day night to the appalling list of bloody affairs which have occurred of late. The scene of this latest murderous assault was on the outskirts of Takoma Park, in Mont- gomery county, Md., the victim being Mrs. Winnie Ramsay. Her assailant was Henry Thurston. Both are colored. Thurston is a shoemaker by trade, and for some time past, it is said, has been liv- ing with the Ramsay woman, although it 4s claimed that he has a wife who resides in this city. ‘Thurston and Mrs. Ramsay were in town Saturday evening, and the man indulged freely in intoxicating liquor. The couple returned to the woman's house, on Chest- nut avenue, Takoma Park, shortly after 11 o'clock, when, it is alleged, Thurston be- gan beating one of Mrs. Ramsay's children in a most brutal manner. The mother in- terfered, placing herself between the child and the man. ‘This angered Thurston, who drew a razor and sprang upon the woman, slashing her viciously. She sank to the floor with several ugly gashes about her throat. Probably thinking the woman had been killed, Thurston hastily bundled up a few clothes and fled. He was seen about mid- night at Brightwood, but since then has eluded the police. “The fugitive is de- scribed as a man about thirty-five years of age, weighing about 145 pounds, and is said to have worn a gray checked suit. After the assault the eldest child of Mrs. Ramsay called for assistance, and Dr. Ben- nett was summoned to attend the woman. He found her in a critical condition, and the chances for recovery are considered slight. The Maryland authorities steps to apprehend Thurston.

Frank Nicholson Takes Fatal Dose of Rough on Rats. A dose of “Rough on Rats,” enough to have killed several men, taken Saturday night with suicidal intent, resulted last night in the death cf Frank Nicholson. The deceased was past thirty years old. He was a son of the late Policeman Walter Nicholson. Long before the death of his father he had become wild and had figured in many fights and been many times in jail. When rather young he married, but his lite re- sulted in causing his wife endless fears and suffering. At times Frank professed reformation, and was taken back, but he seldom kept sober more than a few weeks at a time, and when he went on a spree he invaria- bly landed! behind the bars He cscaped from jail once and managed to swim across the Eastern branch. His wife finally got a divorce from him, and he went in the navy. Soon he became a deserter and returned home, much the worse for having come in contact with an- other sailor. His friends prevented a ir a military prison for him, and aft he reformed, so he stated, and intere: himself in church and mission work. Dur- ing the past summer, after he had been doing so well, he found another young wo- man in the person of 2 Miss Burch who said “Yes” to. him, and they were married. Two weeks ago Frank's appetite for strong drink returned, and he deserted church and Christian friends. His wife, unwilling to risk her life as his former wife had done, deserted him and returned to her perents. Friday the wretched man, whose mind had been affected by drink, bought a box of the rodent killer, and a second box was purchased Saturday afternoon. It is thcught he swallowed the contents of both boxes, and was found by his aged mother when he had become unconscious. A phy- {sician who was called succeeded in restor- ing the patient to consciousness, and yes- terday morning he was sent to Providence Hospital, where he died last night about 11:30 o'clock. An inquest was deemed un- necessary. ——— President Joi Officiates. Prof. J. K. Jones, president of the Occult Society of Leadville, Col., assisted by Mr. J. H. Altemus and Miss Maggie Gaul of Balti- more, officiated at the meeting yesterday afternoon of the First Spiritualist congre- gation. | The Absolutely Pure | Baking Powder.
