FOR A WORTHY CHARITY.

The Entertainment To-Morrow Ev.
 ening at the Church of the Re.
 deemer.
 Tomorrow evening at 7:45 there will be very delightful entertainment given in the Church of the Rsdeemer, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the Welcome hall fresh air fund. Music will be furn. ished by the second banjo club of Yale, Mrs. s. 8. Thompson will sing and Charles Taylor Cstlin, the distinguished amateu, actor and elocutionist from Brooklyn, will render program that will not fail to be exceedingly interesting. The sale of eeats is already very large.
 by Principal French of Lovslps school, this oity, which was published in 1899, is the following concerning Mr. Catlin: Since 1883 he has been actively engaged in elocu- tionary and dramatic work, occasionally also writing for the press and doing other literary work in the city of h,a home.
 He has twice been the poet at snniver- sary reunions at Nichols academy, Dud- ley, Asse.. speaking in 1888 on "Oracles'' ana 1n lS1U on '.10e6le."
 A sketch of his dramatic career publi.b. cd in the New York Commercial Advertiser of May 12. 1892, gives the following facts of interest: His first dramatic appearance was with the Gilbert January g. 1885. whom he played '.Dr. Barrett" in "A Treacherous Guest" drama by Rinppoid 1eCay. Since that time he has been an earnest and enthusiastic worker in the am ateur dramatic interests of Brooklyn, play ing widely diversified range of characters and sustaining in every way in his power the highest standards of taste and study in the societies with which he has been 50 long and 70 successfully identified,
 He became in December, 1887, a member of the dramatic corps of the Melpomsna. now ranking among the first three asso ciations devoted to dramatic art In Brook lyn, and is at present the vice president of that sooiety.
 In the founding in 1890 of the stApollo.n . leading dramatic organization of Jersey Oity heights, Catlin took prominent part. and has been faithful worker, both ss actor and 'tcoach," in bringing the asso- ciation to the distinguished reputation 1t hos already achieved.
 Oatlin is also '.coach" for the dramatic of the Psi Upsilon fraternity of the New York university, and has directed And played in several of their successful at she Berkeley lyceum.

 From Our Washington Correspondent.l
 WASHINGTON, May 5.-I visited the new camp ground of the Commonweal army yesterday to find that the grounds were like miniature lake of filth, and that the army had dwindled to some 150 men, ev.- dently buns and tramps.
 When I entered the enclosure the men were stretched out here and there on boards with couple of bricks for pill low, some in the hot sun, and others under temporary shelters made from canvas and nailed to the fence. They were typi- cal tramps, ragged clothes, filthy to the last degree, while their Coxey badges were so dirty that the inscription was entirely invisible. They were indeed sad looking lot of men, to lazy even to wash, and on the whole seeming to enjoy being gazed at l by the visitors and fed at the expense of that part of the population who do work while they loaf.
 BROWNE STEAKS.
 Carl Browne, who is out on bonds, was mounted in the panorama wagon, talking | in rambling fashion to the handful oi people who came to gaze upon this great and glorious faker general. He was dressed | in black suit. having discarded his regu. | lation suit, which he has worn since he started, earnestly making bid for more cheap notoriety and telling how unfairly he had been dealt with by the police, en tirely forgetting to mention that witness had been found who saw him draw @ pisto on the police at the capitol before the lat l ter struck him, which the latter did bu once, and then only to knock the pistol out l of his hands.
 While Browne was talking Coxey wal moving here and there talking to vfsiters. several of whom were ministers.
 REFUSED PERMISSION TO PREACH.
 As drew near the general was just in forming Rev. s. L. Beiler, vice chancellor of the American university, that he could not preach to the army and that the only doctrine preached in the grounds woule be reincarnation, as preached by himself Dr. Beiler stayed but few minutes ane left in disgust, as most of the other visit ors did after remaining little while.

By break in the machinery we were

is on an island in the centre of the

along and between other islands for
six hours before we reach Honolulu.
In that case, we want to 90 on deck
directly after dinner and enjoy all the
scenery we can for green grass and
trees, hills and valleys, look beautiful
after the eye has seen nothing hut the
wide ocean for so long a time.
We have very pleasant company of
people on board, all agreeable and
happy. There is young missionary
and his wife going to China for the
first time to place not far from

also business men-CUstom officers, q

whose positions in life | have not yet

EDITOR SMYRNA TIMES:
have been receiving your paper
since l came to this county, and enjoy
reading it very much / thought I
would send you a few. items of local
interest.
The Ladies' Aid Society has added
very much to the appearance of the in
terror of the church by putting down a
very pretty carpet in the pulpit, chan
Gel, and down the aisle. They have
also placed two very nice bracket
lamps in the pAlpit and new burners
on the chandelier, and have placed
chairs for the choir, instead of the
benches, which is a decided improve
ment in both appearance and comfort.
The people of the entire circuit con-
spired to surprise the pastor and his
family, and succeeded entirely. They
came from all three appointments,
about one hundred in number, and in
vaded the parsonage while the occu-
pants were away from home. 1t was a
very agreeable surprise, however, as
we'll as very profitable one to the
preacher and his family. They left
him richer in all kinds of edibles that
will last for many days to come, be-
sides the joy and pleasure of being
thus kindly remembered. We desire
hereby to express our sincere thanks
to those who so generously contributed
to our happiness.

The SALOON PRoBLEM:-Under high
license the city of Philadelphia has 1858
saloons, or one saloon to every 163
voters. 1t has one bakery for every 146
voters; one public school for every 1856
voters, and one church for every 391
voters. The saloons, as it appears.
OutnUmber the schools andthe churches
together, and they almost equal the
bakeries.-EUdngeliSt.
One saloon for every 1853 voters
seems liberal allowance; but how is
it with Wilmington? The population
of this city is estimated at 20, 900, count
ing 5 to a voter. We should have
$4,000 voters. To supply them with
liquor we have about $50 saloons,
which would be at the rate of one
saloon to every 56 voters. One half of
the voters, however are probably tenn
perance men, which would make one
saloon to every % voters who indulge
ia intoxtcants. Is it not time that our
court should take measures to lessen
the number ?-MOrning NelVs.

Death of Mrs. Walker.

Mrs. Ann w. Walker. widow of the
late Henry r. Walker, died at the res
idence of her son-in-law, John CosgrifF,
on Friday last, aged 78 years. Mrs.
Walker, whose maiden name was Ann
w. Barlow, was with her late husband,
both representatives of old Thorough
fare Neck families, and resided there
most of their lives, few years ago,
however, changing their residence to a
large farm near MiddletOwn, where
they lived until her husbands death,
some three years ago, since which time
she has been living with her daughter,
Mrs. COsgriH, her only child.
Those familiar with Mrs. Walker
speak of her life as one exemplying a
beautiful, christian character, full of
tenderness and thOUghtfulness of
others, felt both in and out of her
home. She had served the church of
which she had been member from her
youth, in that quiet, effective way that
won the confidence of her friends.
The funeral services were held Mon
day morning, intermentat Forest Gem
etery, Middletown.

A reduction of thirty million dollars
for pensions will appear in the Pension
Appropriation bill, which will be re-
ported from the subcommittee to the
full Committee on Appropriations.
The appropriations for the present fiscal
year, including deficiencies, have been
s1SO, O,676, ,2S4, and the estimates of Com
missioner LOchren last fall were 1852,
631, $40, for the next fiscal year.
The tuIn of the tide in pensions has
been so marked of late, however, that
the subcommittee believe that this
will be more than sufficient, as the ex.
penditures for the six month were
more than seven millions less than for
the same period in 1892.
