A meeting of a joint committee repre- senting the Fifteenth Street and St, Paul's Methodist Episcepal churches will, it is urderstood, be held tomorrow for the pur- pese of ascertaining whether definite shape can be given to a plan which proposes the urion, temporarily at least, of the two congregations.

In the meantime, St. Paul's has no house of worship of its own. The gentleman who owns the structure wants to demolish it for the purpose of erecting thereon a resi- dence, and the St. Paul's people have been notified. It was their anxiety for a a of their own in which to worship and the financial difficulties which are said to surround the Fifteenth Street Church that has led to the proposed temporary union of the two congregations, the hope being en- tertained that by the’ time the St. Paul's people are ready to build a new church the Fifteenth Street Church will have emerged from the ‘trouble in which it is now in- volved. While it is not unlikely that the plan above outlined may be carried out, there are, it is stated, many members of the St. Paul's Church who are opposed to the proposition, as they fear that in the event of co-operatirg actlvely with the Fifteenth St t people their own identity will be {crgotten, and the new building for which they have been hoping so long will be either abandoned altogether or indefinitely postponed, Se eS On Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock trustees will sell at auction the neat and attractive two-story brick dwelling No. 20S Parker street, between 2d and jd and 1 and K streets northeast.

The -Homeseeker@, Association has re- moved‘ its national Headquarters from Chi- cago to this city, afid the officers are now preparing for very tactive work. The ob- ject of -the association-4s to induce indus- trious people to leave the overcrowded cities and settle on some of the millions of fertile but-unoccupied land in the southern end western states, where their labor will at least return them a living and in time give them pleasant homes. The officers of the association are: Rep- resentative James Gunn of Idaho, presi- dent; Marcus- P. Beebe, president of the Bank of Ipswich, South Lakota, and Col. Frank Dryden of Maryland, -vice pre: dents; George E. Girlmg, editor-of the Irri- gation Age, secretary and treasurer, and the Rey. Dr. John Husk, pastor of the Mill- tant Church of Chicago, chairman of tne board ot trustees. In speaking to a correspondent President Gunn said: “We want the people to go on to the land where they will become self-supporting. Charity is wel enough in its way, but it tends to make men dependent. The object of the Homeseekers’ Association is to make men independent. There are plenty of Worthy, industriously inclined men, skilled and unskilled: workmen, who realize that the cities are overerowded, and that the best thing for men to do, who are uncertain as to employment, is to go out onto the land. God knows there is plenty of fertile land in the United States awaiting the touch of the plow to yield an abundant harvest. Whenever a fellow-man does anything toward getting these landless men located where they can at least make an honest living he is doing a humane and benevolent act. “We are not looking after all the unem- ployed, by any means. We aim to help those who have a desire to help them- selves. But there are plenty of honest, in- telligent, industrious men who are having a very hard time of it in the overcrowded cities. Let us help them, that. they may become self-supporting and prosperous citizens, an honor to the ceuntry. “1 am now in correspondence with the governors of the various states and other prominent personages, and the plan of the association {s meeting with unqualified in- dersement. Members of the national ex- ecutive committee have been elected or ap- pointed in half the states, and I expect within a week or so ail the states and ter- ritories in the Union will be represented. “The association is not a money-making irstitution. It is purely philanthropic in purpose. None of the officers receive any salaries or other compensation, and the governing body is not interested in the sale of land anywhere. The expense is met by voluntary contributions. So far I have berne much of it myself. It is one of the most beneficent of movements for the up- hfting of humanity, and it should meet with enthusiastic popular approval.” In discussing the history of the organiza- tion, the secretary, George E. Girling, said: “The Homeseekers’ Association was or- ganized about three years ago. Its origi- nators were a few of the active, benevo- lent gentlemen of Chic&go who were realy to take up what they felt to be a work for the betterment of huthanity, for the en- larging of the field of usefulness of the workingman, for giving to labor a greater share of the wealth it creates, for giving a wider opportunity to those who are seek ing to raise themselves from the dead level of the life of the wage-worker, and for surrounding the average man with better social, industrial and /educational condi- tions. It was thought ‘that the fundamen- tal purpose could best be accomplished by taking up first the turning of the tide o1 immigration from the ‘larger cities to the Sountny farms and smailer towns. AG s found that a ‘method of practical t to those in quest of homes was to sh them with reliable information as to the localities In which they were inter- ested, and which they: could -not obtair themselves except at considerable ex- pense. Then to educate the people to # proper appreciation of country nomes by means of public lectures, illustrated by stercopticon views and supplemented by descriptive literature prepared by eminent, conservative, substantial men, competent to express opinions reliable ‘and trust- worthy. “We have held public meetings in a num- ber of cities, and are now arranging for more. Last September our first national conventio held in Chicago, and.en- othe 1d during the coming sum- me It is desired that representatives from every state and territory in the Unien a tend the second national convention, brin ing with them all the facts and s obtainzble regarding their < to re- escurces, hoth agricultural and mineral ligious and educational privileges, t portation facilities and climatic’ adv ges. This information will be published by the association and distributed among those whom it will benefit. From letters new in the hands of the secretary it would appear as though the attendance would be very large. = will be WILL NOT BE PRESSED. An Apology Likely to Stop Trial Un- der Indictment.

There was a crap-game in progress in an alley near 10th and D streets yesterday afternoon when Policemen Warren and Gover viewed the crowd from the rear win- dow of a D street business house. About twenty colored boys were in the party, and the appearance of the officers was foHowed by a stampede, the boys running in ali directions. One of the boys had gone es far as 9th street in his flight, and, when making an effort to cross the street, he slipped. Just how he reached the other side of the street he probably does not know, but his head landed against the curbstone and he was brought to a sud- den stop. Three of the players, Isaac Green, Lewis Fields and Robert Green, were captured, and they appeared in the Police Court this morning. “Robert Green does not sell newspapers,” said one of the officers, “but he is with them every day to win their money play- ing crap.” “That's a mistake,” said Green. been selling papers since the brick shut down.” “Isaac Green has always been a good boy,” one of the officers told the court, “and yesterday was the first time I had seen him doing wron In consideration of his good record, the court fined him $3, while his companions were fined $10 or thirty days each. > OPPOSE THE LODGE BILL. Resolutions Passed by Central Verein Against Restricting Immigration. Representatives from fifteen societies and lodges were present at a special meeting of the German Central Verein held last night at Turn Hall for the purpose of making a formal protest against Senator Leége’s bill providing for an educational test for immigrants. President W. L. El- terich, Secretary Gustave Bender and Treasurer George J. Bessler were appoint- ed a committee to draw up resolutions expressing the sentiment of German citi- zens on the measure. The resolutions, which were unanimously acopted, declared that the Lodge bill unworthy of a na- tion that obtained its greatness and pres- perity mainly through free and unrestric ed immigretion, and if enacted into law would be certainly against the spirit, if not against the words of the Const tion. The resolutions were ordered to be transmitted to the Presidert of the Senate. Previous to this business letters read from Rev. Dr. T. De Witt Talmage, Rey. Dr. Alexander Kent and Rev. Dr. D. J.

It was captured during a skirmish between the Spaniards and insurgents in Pinar del Rio. Colonel L. S.
