Oswald in the Chautauquan. ‘The benefit of a fruit cure generally ex- tends to the meral constitution. One of my fellow travelers on the Texas prairies described the amewities of a camp on the strawberry plains of the Red river, where cares were forgot while the berries lasted, and the campers enjoyed a buoyancy of spirits that could hardly be attributed to the bracing climate alone. The nenth of May dces happen to bring a period ¢f al- most ideal weather in that latiude, but our wagon master inclined to the vegetarian mode of explanation and mentioned an ex- jence of his own on ths upper Israzos, where 2 pack of half wild dogs had de- all the meat rations of his team- .

TMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL EXERCISES Reports Received From the Officers and Standing Committees. THE STATISTICAL SHOWING ed Owing to the incleméncy of the weather, there was not a large attendance this morn- ing at the District of Columbia twenty- third annual convention of the W. C. T. U., which met at the Vermont Avenue Chris- tian Church at 10 o'clock. Those who were present, however, made up in enthusiasm any lack of numbers, and the exercises were of a most interesting character. It was the “white ribbon” anniversary of the union. The pulpit was handsomely decorated with palms and potted plants, and made a pretty scene under the gaslight, it hav- ing been found necessary to have light in the church, on account of the darkness of the day. The convention was called to order by Mrs. Margaret B. Platt, president, after which the hymn “A Charge to Keep I Have” was sung by all present. Prayer was offered by Mrs. F. E. Catlin. Each one of the delegates present repeated. a text, at the suggestion of the president, when the hymn “How Firm a Foundation” was sung. Appointment of Committees. The minutes of the former meeting were read by the recording secretary, after which the president announced the com- mittees as follows: Resolutions—Mrs. C. Smith, chairman; Mrs. Sarah Grant, secretary; Mrs. Calli- han, Mrs, Fuller and Mrs. Gorsuch. Courtesies—Mrs. L. D. Merrick and Mrs. Walter Brown. Credentials—Mrs. L. S. Weightman, Mrs. T. A. Williams and Miss Kessler. Mrs. Bettie S. Luckett, secretary of the Yeung Woman's branch, read her report, Getail leven of the “Y's” being given. Five were organized during the past They are as follows: Capitol Hill, Central, Margarct D. Ellis, Margaret B. Platt and one among colored girls by Mrs. Lawson, the name of which has never been reported. One White Shield Society was organized on Capitol Hill by the superin- tendent of Social Purity. Mrs. Ailen Foster of the Loyal Temper- ance Legion, in her report, deplored the fact that the children’s work was not car- ried on more energetically and stated that she thought the ministers of the different churches should co-operate in the work, in order to bring out the best results. She said that the former superintendent had organized two new legions during the first of the year. The present superintendent tcok the work the latter part of April. The report was from October 2, 1896, to October 12, 1897. Since she took charge, she said, she organized four legions and reorganized one other. In conclusion, she states: “We ask God to bless the effort to the good of these poor, dear little ones, who breathe continually the fumes of tobacco and all kinds of intoxicants. No one can tell what we have to contend with in the L. T. L. work in the slums but those who have been and are in the work. Hopes for the Future. “$o much for the past year. We hope for much more in the year to come. Since taking the work in May your superintend- ent has made sixty-two wheel calls, has had three superintendents’ meetings and as visited six L. T. L.'s ‘hers are about GW) members of the L. T. L. About 2,400 have signed triple pledges since 1896. The report of the corresponding secre- tary, Miss Lou‘sa S. Weightman, was sub- mitted, and was a most favorable one. Reports of the Unions. The reports of the unions embodied in this were likewise gratifying. The unions are as follows: Chapin, Mrs. M. E. Cohen, president; West End, Mrs. Clinton Smith, president; Northwest, Mrs. Jennie M. Rob- insen, president; Capitol Hill, Mrs. Jennie S. Bartlett, president; Anacostia, Mrs. E. L.

Williams, president; Third Bapust, Mrs. F. E. Ware, president: Five of the unions failed to report. The total membership, as reported, is 1,124. Honorary Membership. In concluding her report, the secretary state: “We do not do our full duty as to hon- orary membership—all the 500 of our broth- ers are still waiting an invitation to join us. So are the rest of our sisters, who ought to be wearing the white ribbon and carrying a flag at demonstration meetings. are growing, six new unions and five having been organized this year, but we want to grow in all directions, and we Want particularly to keep the members we already have, and it Is a good work for members to visit and encourage the waver- ing and indifferent and inspire them with a real love for the cause.” The report of the president, read by the secretary, showed that 142 meetings were attended the past year, exclusive of Wash- ington Grove and Mountain Lake Park, nd the total number of communications made and received was 1,133. The annual report of evangelistic work done under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. ef the District, submitted by Mrs. S. M. Hartsock, District evangelistic superin- tendent, was as follows: Gospel meetings held, 180; outdoor serv- ices, meetings addregsed by women, 103; sick visited, 141; conversions, Bible -ead- ings, 301; necessitous cases relieved, 45; tracts distributed, 680, and many pages of literature; religious papers, 1,243; public meetings held, 102; sermons preached by pastors, 12; signed the pledge, —; money expended cn evangelistic work, $21. The report of the treasurer, Mrs. T. A. ‘Williams, showed that the receipts for the past year were $1,192.43; disbursements, $1,100.99, leaving a balance of $04.44. In Memory of the Dead. The “in memoriam” services were most impressive, and caused tears to be shed by the attending friends of the departed. The list of the dead was as follows: Mrs. J. H. Mitchell, Mrs. E. W. Knowles, Mrs. A. M. Faehtz, Mrs. Dr. Baker, Mrs. Taylor, Rev. Edward Elis, Mr. Charlgs Ritter, Mr. Rob- ext’ Ball, Master Chars Morrow Lewis, Mrs. Murdoch and Mrs. Glascow. Mrs. D. Olin Leech sang the beautiful solo, “Looking This Way,” after which short addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Hartsock, Rev. Dr. Little, Miss Annie Mc- Dowell and Mrs. Costin, each speaking in endearing terms of the dead members whom they had known and loved. Some of those who had intended to participate in the exercises and speak of their lost ones were prevented from doing this by the state of the weather. Miss Mary F. Wells of the Nationai W. c. T. U. was asked by the President to speak in a general manner of the departed, which she did in a touching manner. She | Stated that she had first regarded the “In memoriam” services with something of a sensation of abhorrence, but had come to regard them as productive of the best re- sults, being an excellent way of showing re- spect for the dead and telling of their vir- tues. The merning session ended with a com- munion service by Rey. Dr. Power, in which the delegates participated. An sdjournment was taken for Junch, which wes served at the church. Afternon Session. At the afternoon session prayer was of- fered by Mrs. Jennie 3. Bartlett, and the WHITE RIBBONERS. Twenty-Third Annual Convention of ca ae a a ek nO rag SEN gO NUE reports of superintendents were offered as follows: Evangelistic, Mrs. M. E. Hart- sock; Young- Wage. Earners’ Club, Mrs. Nellie H.

The.band of children studying the in- structions, in the peace and mercy depart- ment nunters thirty, and it is stated they are doing excellent work. Mrs. Lillie M. Trotter, in her report of the Flower Mission, stated that on the day given- up to the. mission, June. , every heme and hospital in the city not de1omi- national was visited -and, flowers distrib- uted. The superintendent spent the day at the jail, and gave. flowers to 315 prisoners, and also placed a she2t of forty texts in each of nearly 300 cells. Work of the Year. During the year the superintendent made forty-seven visits to the sick, four to af- flicted, twenty-eight to the poor, twenty- one to asylums and hospitais; made 112 visits in the interests of the work, the total number of visits during the year be- ing 184. The money expended in the work was Reports of other superintendents were read, and a “question box’? was conducted by Mrs. M. L. Wells of Tennessee. Mrs. J. E. Fout was the musical director of the convention, which concluded its day’s ses- sion at 4 o'clock. There will be two sessions tomorrow, when the convention will adjourn. The election of officers and delegates to the na- tional convention will take place at the morning session. eee SS ARMY NOTES. Secretary Alger’s Estimates for Next Year. Secretary Alger is devoting most of his time at present to the preparation of esti- tates for the support of the army during the next fiscal year. He has a conference with the heads of the various military bu- reaus on the subject of the condition and srecial needs of the departments in their charge, and makes the estimates accord- ingly. Gen. Flagfer, chief of ordnance, and Gen. Wilson, chief of engineers, have re- ceived more of the Secretary's attention than the other bureau officers, for the rea- sen that the subjects of fortifications and ccast defenses will be the principal ones treated in the forthcoming report of Sec- retary Alger to Congress. Liberal appro- priations will be asked for the protection of our seacoast lire, in order that thero may be no interruption in the completion oe the projects now in process of construc- tion. Capt. H. E. Waterman, Corps of Engi- neers, stationed at St. Louis, is here on leave of absence. Lieut. Wm. H. Hughes, 13th Infantry, is at 610 Massachusetts avenue on leave of absence. Lieut. M. J. Lenihan, 2d Infantry, is visit- ing friends ut 1884 I street. Lieut. Lutz Wahl, Sth Infantry, has been ordered to duty at the Louisiana State University, at Baton Rouge. Lieut. . B. McKenna, 15th Infantry, has been assigned to duty on the staff of Gen. Brooke, commanding the Department of Missouri. Lieut. C. A. F. Flagler, Corps of Engi- neers, has been relieved from duty under Capt. W. L. Fisk, and ordered to duty with the Battalion of Engineers at Willets Point, N. Y. Lieut. E. R. Stuart, Corps of Engineers, has been relieved from duty under Maj. E. H. Ruffner, and ordered to duty with the Battalion of Engineers. Capt. J. W. Dillenback, 13c Artillery, has been granted leave of absence for one month. The following assignments of officers to regiments have been announced: Maj. Cas- per H. Conrad to the 8th Infantry; Capt. Jaros A. Maney to the 15th Infantry, Com- pany C; First Lieut. William H. Bertsch to the 15th Infantry, Company C; Additional Second Lieut. Frank M. Savage, 5th In- fantry, to a vacancy of second lieutenant, 15th Infantry, Company I. —___e—. THE INSPECTOR’S REPORT. Investigation as to the Stringing of Wires. Inspector Allen of the street lighting serv- ice has made his report of the investiga- tion conducted by him in the matter of the illegal overhead wires on D street near North Capitol street. His report is accompanied by a map of the situation, together with the lines run by the District surveyor, showing the loca- tion of the pipe line which the Potomac Electric Power Company now acknowi- edges to have lata without a permit. The map shows that the pipe line crossed a public alley, and Inspector Allen recom- mends that the ccmpany be notified to re- move the same forghwith. If this order of the Commissioners is not carried out the District will remove the obstruction and take the company into court for occupying a public space without a permit. Megal —_.—___ GRADING THE PENSIONS. Fixing the Officers’ Pay on Retirement for Dinsnubility. In making up their estimates for the support of the District during the com- ing fiscal year, the attention of the Com- missioners was directed to the police pen- sion fund, It was found that in case of disability or retirement from old age, offi- cers were to receive $50 per month, without regard to rank. Th{s was deemed unequal, and it was decided today to insert in the new appropriation bill provision for the retirement of the major and superintendent at a salary of $125 per month; of the cap- tain of $90 per month and of lieutenants of $85 per month. This they believe to be nearly equal, and they will urge Congress to pass a law with that in view. —— Fined as Disorderlies. Lottie Way, William Hammond, Walter Middleton, John Williams and Kdward Leon, who were charged with disorderly conduct, were today each fined $5 by Judge Kimball. —_>__ Farmers Make Complaint. Farmers who’ stand along the south side of B strect between 7th and 12th streeta, and pay for the privilege, are complaining of the disgraceful condition of the sidewalk. The complaint is echoed by their patrons. This morning walking on the pavement was almost impossible because of the number of water puddles. a His Painless Method. From the San Francisco Call. Before the days of chloroform there was @ quack in San Francisco who advertised tooth drawing without pain. The patient was placed in a chair and a wrench given, when ke roared violently. “I thought you sald there was no pain.” “So there is not by my process. That is Cartwright’s way. That's the way he does it. It’s very dif- ferent from mine.” Another tug, and a still more violent howl. “That’s the way Dumerge pulls teeth,” said the unabashed practitioner. “‘You don’t like it, no doubt. Who would?” Another twist was given, and the patient, as a rule, howled worse than ever. “That,” the dentist said, “is Parkinson’s mod.” By this time the tooth was nearly out. “I will now,” he said, “display my own method,” whereupon he triumphantly withdrew the tooth and held it up for4nspection. “You observe that by my truly scientific process there is really no pain whatever.” ———— The Bird» Balance of Pow From the Youth's Companion. In a recent lecture Prof. Wilmer Stone of Philadelphia cited many facts to show that birds are nature’s great check on the ex- cess of insects, and that they keep the bal- ance between plants and insect life. Ten thousand caterpillars, it has been esti- mated, could destroy every blade of grass on an acre of cultivated ground. In thirty days from the time it is hatched an ordi- nary caterpillar increases 10,000 times in bulk, and the food it lives and grows on is vegetable. The insect population of a single cherry tree infested with aphides was calculated by an eminent entomologist at no less than 12,000,000. The bird popu~ Jation of cultivated districts has been esti- mated at from 700 to 1,000 per square mile. insects; yet as each bird consumes hun- dreds of insects every day, the latter are. prevented from becoming the scourge they would be but for their feathered This is small compared with the number of * enemies. | ocd-c0,80t CENTRAL LABOR UNION 3g Report Made Last Evening Concerning Con- troversy With Gontractor Daggett. 5 eal Appeal to Be Made to Congress in In- terest of Dax kghor—Other Mattess. Fr ‘The meeting last_evening of the Central Labor Union was attended by a large num- ber of delegates., When the roll was called almost every meniber “answered to his name. sti k President Milford: Spohn occupied the chair, and Messrs Moulden and Crowley were the secretaries. a The special committee appointed to con- sider the matter of the alleged refusal of the street sweeping contractor to permit his men to join a labor organization made @ report, stating that they had called on Commissioner Black and informed him of the action; also that Commissioner Black said it was a_matter over which the Com- missioners had no control. He advised the committee to correct the evil complained of by an appeal to Congress tor appropriate legislation. Mr. Black further stated that he would bring the matter to the attention of the full board of Commissioners, some of them being out of the city at the date of the in- terview. The committee recommended the adop- tion of a resolution, which was in sub- stance as follow: “The legislative committee is directed to prepare a bill, which shall be submitted to the next congress, which shall pro- vide that~all municipal work in the Dis- trict of Columbia heretofore done by con- tract shall be done by the day, under the control of the Commissioners, and the em- Ployes on said work shall be paid the maxi- mum rate of wages paid by firms and in- dividuals for the various classes of work required in the municipal departments. The legislative committee. is also directed to report a measure embodying the above mentioned features and such others as are deemed necessary at the next meeting of this body.” The resolution was adopted unanimously. Question of Representation. A communication was read from Secre- tary Frank Morrison of the American Fed- eration of Labor, notifying the Central Labor Union that “all accounts of the American Federation of Labor for the fiscal year close with the current month, and that the vote of the delegates at the annual convention, December next, will be based upon the average membership dur- ing the year, from reports made to the office of the federation not later than Oc- tober 31.” The communication was referred to the treasurer. A communication was read from the Na- tienal Capital Brewing Company in reply to a letter sent by Secretary Crowley ask- ing them to fix a date when they would meet a committee from the Central Labor Union in reference to the brewers’ contract with Brewery Workers’ Union, No. 115, at which it was proposed to also have Messrs. Heurich and Carry. The letter stated that it would be much more agreeable to the National Capital Company if the Central Labor Union would name a date wher the meeting could be had, and stating that if such date be satisfactory to Messrs. Heu- rich and Carry the representative of the National Capital Company will also be present. zy As no communication ’had been received from the other two b&éwers, the matter was deferred for a ttme. The credentials of the delegates from the Amalgamated Carpefiters were received and the delegates were ddmftted and: obligated. Delegate Willis of the label committee re- perted that: the proprietor of a» suburban hotel refused positively to,.handle union label cigars, and, on reg¢ommendation, the concern was declared to be unfair. Mr. Willis also reported that he had seen the proprietor of another suburban resort, and the latter assured him that he would purchase union label cigars as soon as his: Present stock needs’ replenishing. Complaint of ‘Engineers, Delegate Maghan of the grievance com- mittee; to whom -was referred the com- plaint''6f the engirteers! against’ the’ Con- summers’ Brewery, reported that it was very likely the trouble could be amlioably settled, and that, the committee would meet with the board of directors with that object in yiew. pepe Organizer Silvet reperted that“hé had the charter for the recently organized Bakers’ ‘Drivers’ Union, and that their delegates would be present at the next meeting of the central body, He al reported that the organization committee would cull on Secretary Gage next Saturday in ref2rence to the troubles about overtime at the bureau of engray- ing and printing. At the request of the delegates from the Bakers’ Union the label committee was directed to call on a certain focal baker and arrange, if poésible, for the use of the bakers’ label on his product. At the request of the cigarmakers the label commiitee was requested to call on the manager of one of the theaters and induce him, if possible, to sell the union label cigar. Organizer Silver reported that he visited Butchers’ Assembly at their meeting Sun- day in the interest of the national organ- ization of their craft, and was informed they were in communication with National Secretary Homer D. Call in reference to that matter. Mr. Silver also stated that Granite Cut- ters’ Union of Washington would give a smoker the fourth Friday evening of this month, and invited all to attend. The in- vitation was accepted. It was announced that Andrew Murray, secretary of the local branch of the Amal- gamated Society of Carpenters and Join- ers of America, and also a delegate to the Central Labor Union, has been elected by a referendum vote to represent that or- ganization in the next convention of the American Federation .of Labor. a Acquitted by the Crowd. From the Denver Times. Twenty years ago Powers was an engine wiper in the shops at Burnham,. But, los- ing an arm in a railroad wreok, he was obliged: to use his head more and his limbs less in the business of making a living for himself and his little family. Drifting into Leadville with the first tide of fortune hunters, Powers remained there as long as he could consistently and until the sheriff took him down to Canyon City to live per- manently, that being considered a health- ler climate for a man of his temperament (he had shot and killed his son-in-law, Pat Kennedy, in a friendly go-as-you-please with Colt’s revolvers). But Powers was not nearly so vicious as he looked, and during all of the years that I knew him he had never once killed a man—a pretty good record for that vicinity. He was always a potent political factor, and filled various positions of Honor and @esponsibility, from justice of the peaee up to policeman and janitor of the court #oude and superintend- ent of the chain gang.taWhile dealing out justice in the old,city jail, a Missourian was brought before him’ for a preliminary hearing upon the cha¥gé°of horse stealing. ‘That was ranked imithgse days punishable with death. But the,eulprit was from Jop- lin and had many angle in the camp, al- belt the court was ¢1 ‘ded with them, all determined, as ev: Missourian is, to see justice done. fT midst of the pro- ceedings a stent 1 ice was heard in the rear of the room, ‘sfouting: “I move, your hoor, that the prisoner be discharged!" ark : That was all Powers wanted. To con- vict: the Missouriammwoohl have been fatal to his hopes to a wweksction, and without waiting fer a second tq,the proposition he put the motion to’ the House and declared it carried unanimoisly, Which it was.

Lord Tennyson, the son and heir of the late laureate, is as unlike his great father as possible. Yet the great poet and his heir were always on the ‘most affectionate terms; indeed, Hallam Tennyson, as he then was, was almost. daughterly in his care of the old man, and whenever the laureate came to town he was always ac- companied by his son. The present Lord Tennyson was forty-five years of age last August. Since his father’s death he has developed into a reguiar country gentle- man. He is squire of Freshwater, Round- hurst and Caistor, and he is rarely seen in London, his time being entirely spent be- tween Farringford, his beautiful home in the Isle of Wight, and Aldworth, in Surrey. His great hobbies are golfing and yachting, and he has a magnificent collection of British fossils. If you want anything, try an ad. in Tha Star. If anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer.
