HE ADJOURNED THE MEETING.
Perry Carson Wanted an Adjourn
ment and He Got 1t.

Perry Carson Wanted nn Adjourn.
ment and He Got 1t.
About half hundred men and a dozen
women journeyed through the pouring
rain last evening to the Metropolitan Bap-
tist Church in response to call for a
mass meeting to consider the advisability
of taking further action in the matter of
the shooting Of Reuben Foster, colored, by
Policeman Green in Anacostia several
weeks ago. The meeting was to have been
held under the auspices of the Citizens
Protective Association. of which Perry H.
Carson is the president, and it was an
nounced that the report of the committee
which some time ago, headed by Perry
Carson, visited the Commissioners and ask
ed for the removal of Green from the force,
would be received and further action in the
matter advised
The clock on the rear wall of the church
marked $40 o'clock when Mr.. Carson, in
company with Rev. Mr.. Lee, Rev. Walter
H. Brooks and several others, entered the
body of the church from a side room.
When the applause which greeted the en-
trance of the party had subsidized Mr. Car
son requested the gathering to come to Or
DER and then explained that Mr.. Scott, Gus
todiah of the report of the committee, had
failed to put In an appearance; likewise the
report. Although number of those pres
ent had covered quite a distance to reach
the church, several being residents of Ana
costa, still, said Mr.. Carson, in view of the
small attendance and the absence of the
report, he was in favor of adjourning the
meeting.
An individual hereupon arose from a rear
seat and declared that a small number of
determined persons could transact an
equally great amount Of business as a
vast concourse, and he urged that the
meeting continue. Several others attempt
ed to speak, but Mr.. Carson silenced them
by requesting that motion to adjourn un-
til next Monday evening be made. After
some delay the motion was made and then
another interval ensued before a second
was secured.
"All in favor of adjourning say aye"
said the chairman.
The ayes were decidedly faint, but
when the opposite of the question was put
there was a robust response.
Mr.. Carson paid no heed to the vote, but
went on to say that 1t was not the inten-
to continue 1t in few days under more
favorable circumstances.
Il mean to hold these meetings right
along" he said; "every week. If necessary,
and we'll come together again this night
one year from now If we haven't secured
our rights by that time. All those In favor
of adjourning will rise
Eleven persons assumed upright posi-
tions.
"Re seated" continued the chairman.
Those who want to go on with the meet
ing stand up"
Thirty-nine men arose. But this fact did
not affect the chairman. He calmly an
nounced that the meeting stood adjourned
until Monday next at 8 o'clock in the same
church. Those assembled were forced TO
accept the ultimatum and slowly dis
persed.

NEW YORK, May 49, Patrons OF the

things to wonder about, and II they hap
pen to come from some way-back town
they can speedily collec; enough grandeur
material to tell about for several months
to the dwellers OF their native heaths.
The new hotel. indeed, Is source OF
wonder and admiration to the dyed-in-the-

solutely lost in the deluge of Innovations.
so swiftly have they come in the past
year or two. To-day New York is the
greatest hotel city the world over. but
not satisfied with this record. the mania
for new structures and more wonderful
improvements is spreading. and there are
now a half dozen gigantic hostelrles under
way which promise TO leave the present
peers Of the hotel world as much In the
shade as the old-time ones now are.
The wonders OF these new hotels have
been described many times. Most people

When They Cut Their Boards.


In France Henry " was the last SOW
ersign who wore a beard. and he had a
tolerably fine one. He was succeeded by
a beardless minor. In compliment TO whom
the courtiers shaved all their boards
except the moustaches. The succession
OF another minor confirmed the custom.
and ultimately the moustaches also dis
appeared.
The Spaniards, more tardily Influenced
by French example Kept their boards I'M
til the French and English were begin
ming to relinquish even moustaches. Per-
haps they would have kept the cherished
appendage, but French prince, Phillip w..
succeeded TO the Spanish throne with a
shaved chin. The courtiers with heavy
hearts initiated the Prince, and the
people, with still heavier hearts, initiated
the courtiers. The popular feeling on
the subject. however. remains recorded
I'm the proverb: "Snce we have lost our
boards We have lost our souls"

WANT AN INVESTIGATION.
Mr.. Mobiles Motion Was Prompted
nv Husiucss Priutip!es.

There was a spirited session of the
Council Committee on Relief Of the Poor
at the city almshouse last night. The
most interesting feature Of the meeting
was Mr.. Mobiles motion (Which was
adopted appointing a subcommittee OF
three TO investigate the affairs Of the de-
partment. both inside and outside the
almshouse. When Mr.. Noble presented
the matter Mr.. Ferriter asked if the
Marshall-Ward member had any charges
To prefer. or if he had heard anything in
connection with the manner in which the
almshousc had been conducted. Mr..
Noble said that he had no charges TO
make against any one in the department.
and that he had heard no complaints.

this examination into the affairs Of the
institution Mr.. Noble referred to the
committees action some time ago in APP
proprating $50 for the purchase of am
bulance outfits of rubbsr-coats. overcoats.
and rubber-boots for the ambulance ply
scians. He contended that the commit
tee had no right to have given this
money away to such purpose.
The question of changing the remunera-
ton of the second assistant superntend-
ent of the almshouse 50 as To have 1t all
paid to him in money, instead Of par
TALLY in currency and partially in ra-
tions, was brought up by Mr.. Blake. By
this latter plan Mr. Blake asserted that
this official was making about sl2O per
month, or more than the first assistant
superintendent got This matter also
went 10 the subcommittee, which the
Chair appointed to consist OF Messrs.
Noble Ferriter. and Blake.
The usual bills were approved and
quarterly contracts were awarded.
