A few put quality above every other consideration. The “Greater Store” is of the latter class. Satisfaction depends Continued confidence depends upon quality. Price is a passing bait.

AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA 2 Thomas Collins Swallows a Dose of Lauda- num With Snisidal Intent. Meeting of Democratic City Com- x mittee—Comment on Mayor's Order Concerning Policy Shops. Evening Star Bureau, No. 520 King st., Bell Telephone, No. 106, ALEXANDRIA, Va., October 12, 1897. Shortly before 7 o'clock last night con- siderable excitement was created by a man, who afterward gave his name as Thomas Collins, making an ineffectual attempt to commit suicide. About the hour mentioned Collins appeared at Janney’s drug store and asked for 10 cents’ worth of laudanum. He was closely questioned ‘4s to what he wanted to use it for, and his reply w: “Oh, I always keep it in, the house.” He was given an ounce vial nearly full. Shortly afterward he staggered into Mr. George A. Appich’s saloon, just above, and his’actions aroused suspicions. He went to a table and made ready for a nap. Mr. Ap- pich, who was in the saloon at the time, approached him and.to:d him he could not sleep there. At the same time a partly empty vial was noticed in Collins’ vest pocket. Mr. Appich helped him to the side- waik, so he could get fresh air, and at the same time called for assistance. Dr. Purvis soon arrived, and it was deemed wise to take the rapidly sinking man to the Alex- andria Infirmary. This was done in Mr. Rouss’ buggy. ‘When the infirmary was reached, Dr. Purvis, with the assistance of the nurses, soon had Collins in good shape, and today he is considered to be out of danger. Collins said he had a brother named James Col- lins, who is teller in the Second National Bank of Washington. He stated that he left Richmond last Tuesday, and had stop- ped in Fredericksburg on his way to Alex- andria. When asked what had inspired his rash act, he replied: “Oh, we all have troubles of our own.” He appears to be about forty years of age. He says he is unmarried and an up- holsterer by trade. Democratic Committee Meeting. The city democratic committee held a meeting last evening for the purpose of completing arrangements for Major Tyler’s reception and the big mass meeting next Saturday night. They decided to hold the meeting in the Opera House and have music furnished by the 3d Regiment Field Band. Captain K. Kemper will preside over the meeting and make the opening address. Brickmakers’ Complaint. The brickmakers who have their yards between this city and Washington are com- plaining very bitterly about the miserable condition of the road between Waterloo and the south end of the Long bridge, in Alexandria county. A number of them appeared before the board of supervisors of Alexandria county yesterday and threat- ened to discharge all Alexandria city and county employes and to pay no more taxes unless the road is fixed. This road is almost impassable in many places, but unfortunately is not under the control of the county, but is owned by the Alexandria and Washington Turnpike Company, which is controlled by the Penn- sylvania Railroad Company. An effort will be made to have the latter company keep the road in repair. Christian Endeavor Officers. There was a regular meeting of the Chris- tian Endeavor Society at the Methodist Protestant Church last evening. The fol- lowing officers were elected: L. D. Sulli- van, president; E. Pitman, vice president; R. H, Bartlett, treasurer; Miss M. A. Pit- man, secretary, and Mrs. Charles Hautz- man, organist. The Police Situation. The instructions given by Mayor Simpson to the members of the police force, through Chief Webster, yesterday, that all policy playing and Sunday liquor selling must come to a stop, at once, has created some litile consternation among these men. The officers know now that it is not political and other kinds of pull which elects them to the force, but that a board of police commissioners composed of honorable tlemen and Alexandria’s best _ busir men have the matter in charge. The mayor is determined in this matter, and he been commended on ali sides by the veople for his action. His remarks about reorganization meet with hearty ap- proval, as that is thought to be really tne only way in which the matter can be finally and satisfactorily settled. Charter Granted. A charter was granted today by Judge Nicol of the circuit court to the Cyclone Air Power Company, the objects of which are to manufacture appliances for picking cotton and fruits, and for dredging rivers and removing sand bars, by currents of air artificially produced. The capital stock is placed at $500,000, and the principal office will be in tais city, with Mr. John S. Beach as agent. The officers are George B. Hoyt of Westfield, N. J., president; George 5. Lee of Hawthorn, N. J., vice president; Albert T. Otto of New York, secretary, and Emanue! L. Gifford of New York, treas- urer. Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Simpson disposed of the foliowing cases: Walter Washington, charged with stealing a watch from Robert Ashley, was fined $10; Tnomas Downey, charged with selling liquor on Sunday and without a license, was dismissed. Married. Mr. Thomas Lannon of this city and Miss Catherine Fletcher of Washington were quietly married at St. Patrick’s Church in Washington this morning. After rece!y- ing the congratulations of their many friends, the happy couple left for a two weeks’ trip to the north. Brevities. Mr. James F. Peyton will leave for Buf- falo, N. Y., tomorrow. Mr. C. C. Leadbeater is in Richmond, at- tending the Wholesale Druggists’ Associa- tion meeting. Commencing Sunday, Rev. Father Par- dow of St. Aloysius Church, Washington, will conduct a series of special services at St. Mary's Church. Drs: Arthur Snowden ané@ Thomas Gibson have been added to the Alexandria Infirm- ary staff. < ‘The condition of young Craig Ainsley, who broke his leg in a game of foot ball, is somewhat improved. Mr. F. L. Entwisle, who has been ill of typhoid fever, is much improved. A regular meeting of M. D. Corse Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans, will be held’ tonight. Mary Custis Lee Division, United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy, had a regular meeting at Miss Mehaffey’s this morning. ‘The city council will meet tonight. Belle Haven Courcil, Junior Order U. A. M., held a regular meeting last night. -Mr. William H. F. Beckham, who has been sick with malaria, is improving. ———— Chief Parris’ Report. The monthly report of Chief Parris of the fire department was submitted to the Commissioners today. It shows during the month of September a total of twenty- seven alarms for fire, which was an in- crease of eight over the previous month. There were also twenty-six local or still alarms. The estimated loss for the month from these fires aggregated $653,170, cov- ered by an insurance of 970. Chief Parris refers briefly to the two big fires of the month, that at the power house me at se eed yard of Church fephenson, at both which, he s: the department did excellent work, ae ‘ —_— Declared to Be Insane. Johann George Angermuller, the young recommends, however, BENEFIT OF THE MASSES Radical Departure Possible in the Methods of Church Work. Convention to Be Held Un of “Open and Institutional Charch League.” © Auspices A revolution in church work is expected to be the result of a convention to be held in the First Presbyterian Church of Brook- lyn, N. Y., October 26 and 27, and the eyes of Presbyterians throughout the United States are upon it. ‘The meeting has been called by the “Open and Institutional Church League,” which comprises. some of the foremost thinkers among the followers of Calvin throughout the country. Among those who have prom- ised to attend and make addresses are Rev. Dr. Charles L. Thompson, Rev. Dr. Josiah Strong, Rev. Dr. Russell Conwell and Dr. Chapman of Philadelphia, Rev. Dr. J. P. Peters of St. Michael’s Church, New York; Dr. F. M. North of the Methodist Episco- pal Church Extension Society, Rev. Dr. John C. Hill and many others. During the past ten years, it is said, the essence and £cope of Proteestant church work in the cities of the United States have undergone a surprising change. Previous to the com- mencement of this change, which has al- ready assumed the proportions of a revotu- tion, 99 per cent of the Protestant churches on this continent were kept closed from Sunday to Sunday, except for the regular weckly prayer meetings and an occasional extra service. As a result of this there was in some places a constant decrease in the. member- ship, and in several-of the large cities a number were either abandoned altogetheer or the congregation removed to another and perhaps more fashionable portion of the town. The Points of Difference. The work of the “Open and Institutional Church League” differs from that under the old methods, it is declared, in that while the latter was intensely religious the other is eminently practical, and being so is rapidly superseding the former plans. The movement is being prosecuted for the especial purpose of awakening an in- terest in the Christian religion among those who work for a living in the great centers of population. Many working people, it is conceded, have few orno facilities for physical de- velopment or for mental improvement, and about the only places open to them, it is alleged, are the saloons or worse resorts. There is no place except the streets for the children to play, and many grow up ignorant and depraved. To furnish many of the facilities for development and im- provement is the object of the “Open and Institutional Church League.” By common consent Grace Baptist Church, Philadelphia, of which Rev. Dr. Russeli Conwell is pastor, is accorded the foremost place among the open and in- stitutional churches. Here the work is principally educational. The activities in- clude gymnasiums, swimming, baths, clubs, a hospital and other adjuncts, but the “Temple College” occupies more of the time, energy and thought of the pastor than all the other enterprises combined. Its diplomas, it is said, are as much valued by the recipients‘ as are those conferred by any of the more pretentious and older institutions of learning. Work in New York. There is a great movement of the same kind in New York. In St. Bartholomew's Protestant Episcopal Church, of whicit Rev. Dr. Greer is rector, and in St. George's Church, Rev. Dr. Rainsford, rector, there is a carpenter shop and other places, where boys may learn to use the tools of the carpenter's craft. Others who conduct similar enterprises are the Central Metho- dist, Ep'scopal, Metropolitan Temple, Park Avenue Presbyterian Church, Amity Bap- tist Church and Madison Avenue Pres! terian Church. The pastor of the latter, Rey. Dr. Charles L. Thompson, is also president of the “Open and Institutional League.” Those who kave arranged for the con- vention are hoping for great results, and expect that Christian unity will be brought much nearer as the outcome of the meet- ings. —_s—__—_ FOUND DEAD IN BED. Jchn S. Brown’s Career Terminated This Morning. John S. Brown, an eccentric character about town, was discovered by Policemei Houghlan and Bartel dead in bed in his room at 1212 Pennsylvania avenue, a cheap lodging house,about ) o'clock this morn- ing. The house is kept by Mrs.Sallie O’ Leary who says that for some time past Mr. Brown had been gradually sinking, she thought, through reglect ard an insuf- ficiency of food. Yesterday afternoon sie carried him a bowl of soup, and noticed at that time ihat he seemei weaker Than usual. At the hour merticned this morning Mrs. O'Leary became apprehensive for his wel- fare, and, notifying the officers mentioned, they went to his room, only to find him dead. From all appearances he had been dead for several hours. The coroner was notified at once, and after he has made an examination the body will be turned over to Frank Gier’s Sons, undertakers, for burial. The ceremony will taxe place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the undertakers’ establishment, and the inter- ment will be at Glenwood. Brown had been for some time out of work. He had not been on good terms with his family for years. He had a wife aud son and daughter living next to U National Theater cn E street, and they supplicd him from time to time with the necessaries of life. Brown had the name of being peculiar. He was sixty-one years of age, and had neglected himself in many ways during the past few years. It is said death was but a natural consequence of his mode of life. He was not a drinking man, and it is thought that he died of heart failure or perhaps of a stroke of apoplexy. ——— THE ESTIMATES CREASED. Additional Sums Asked for the Dis- trict Service. Finding the estimated revenues to be greater than was expected when the first draft of the estimates for the support of the District during the next fiscal year was made, the Commissicners have increased them in several instances, An increase of $1,800 has been added in the estimate for the relief of the poor, bringing the appropriation demanded up to $15,000. Five thousand dollars additional is asked for improving the pavements around reser- vations, making a total estimated appro- Priation of $20,000. The salary of the health officer is in- creased by. $600. The street schedule is augmented $100,000, making a total sum to be expended upon the improvement of streets $300,000. No definite sum is asked for water me- ters, although Capt. Burr urges their intro- duction at the expense of the District. He a change in the phraseology of the language for the ex- tension of the high service go as to permit of an expenditure for water meters. He thinks there will be between $25,000 and $50,000 per year available for this. — Danger to Animals. Based upon a letter from W. M. Galt & Co. and Thomas W. Smith concerning’ the slippery condition of Ist street just north of Indiana avenue, which is a cause of great injury to almost all the horses driven over it, the Humane Society has called the attention of the Commissioners to the mat- ter and requested that the street be kept so clean as not to endanger the limbs and a bar The superintendent of street cleaning, to whom the letter was referred, states it is swept three times per week; that fault is in the steep and the result part i i not the & ? \ Mayer Bros. & Co., 937-939 F St. N.W.
