FOR A PUBLIC PARK.
Recommendations Concerning the
Howard University Reservation.

recommendations Concerning the
Howard University Reservation.
Apropos of the editorial paragraph in
The Star last evening concerning the ne
elected condition of the grove of oak trees
south of the Howard University, attention
has been called to the latest annual report
of Colonel ]. NJ. Wilson, engineer in charge
of public buildings and grounds, which
shows that that officer has done all in
forest trees from demolition, and the utili-
cation of the land on which they stand,
which belongs to the government, as a
public park. In this report, submitted last
year, Colonel Wilson says:
This reservation covers All area of near
ly twelve acres; 1T is located south Of the
Howard University, between 4th and 9th
streets. Its improvement has been urged
from time to time by prominent citizens
and a plan for its characterization is sub
mitted, at an estimated cost of $4,000.
THE reservation is covered with native
major portion of the ground is a little
below the grade of the surrounding streets,
but Is not wet except at the southeast
corner of the park, where apparently there
are springs. The ground generally slopes
toward the south and east, and admits Of
easy surface drainage.
THE reservation is admirably located for
public park, for pleasure grounds, games
of our people, being within a few squares
of the terminal stations of four of our city
and suburban street railroad lines. by
which any part of Washington and its
chief outlying suburban villages can be
reached from the park in a comparatively
short period of time.
'It Is believed that If the improvements
projected were made this park would soon
become popular place of resort and re-
lieye the city parks proper. which should
receive a higher, grade of improvement.
with this object in view it is designed
to preserve as fully as may be practicable
the present native forest growth of oaks.
which furnish an abundant shade, and
to form additional paintings of other va
reties of ornamental trees and shrubs,
bounding the park on all sides, so that
there may be many shaded walks and
drives in the summer and autumn, open
ing out into sunny glades in the more CEN
trail portions Of the grounds. 1t is pro-
posed to construct gravel walks and roads
only; to make but few changes in the pres
ent surface grades, terracing the northwest
section where the greatest difference OF
level exists between the street and park
grades; to introduce water for drinking
fountains closets and irrigation, and to
construct such drains to street sewers
as are necessary to properly Drain the
lower portions of the grounds. and to re-
quest the District government. which
claims control of all streets from building
line to building line, to construct side
walks around the reservation. The park
will be lighted by a system of arc electric
lamps"

THE MARINE BANDS TOUR.

Prof. Fanciulli, at his residence. gave to
a Star reporter resume of the recent jour-
ney OF the United States Marine Band
through the south. Il am highly graft
fed" said he. with the tour. In an
artistic way it was grand triumph. The
people of the south gave us cordial re-
ception everywhere, and the press was en-
thusiastic in their praise Of our perform
anoes We played in twenty-seven cities,
and counting matinee and evening con-
certs gave sixty-six programs. We were
gone six weeks, and during the first three
weeks gave a matinee almost daily. Our
soloists scored grand triumphs. MISS Roma
proved an artistic of the highest ofoer OF
merit and won the highest praises every
where. Mr.. Yaeger's flute solos and Mr.:
Thompsons cornet solos were also special
successes The men were well and happy
all through the journey. we Travelled over
$500 miles. most of the time in our own
private car, and the fun We had we snail
never forget. Miss Roma was the NE OF
our party. She called herself the "daugh-
ter of the regiment and won the undying
affection and esteem of the men, Nowhere
did any harm befau us.
Near Chattanooga freshet weakened

slowly and at the next station we heard
the briGge had fallen That was our only
hair-breadth escape. We had competition
everywhere, and yet the tour was rea-
sonabl success. Damrosch, Theodore
Thomas, Gilmore and Sousa were all in
the south, and 1t was Lent, besides. We
played at the same time with SOusa's band
in Memphis. In Galveston our date came
the night C a grand charity ball. and the
next night there were -four fashionable
weddings. In Atlanta we could not play
at ALL because the opera house had another
band booked. and had agreed to make no
date for three weeks with any rival or
ganfzation. tried hard to get an addition
al leave of two weeks, and play st. Louis,
Cincinnati Chicago and Milwaukee, but
could rot. The Musical Union seems to
forbid our going to any northern cities.
but were ordered to be bacl1sin Washing
ton by the 9Th. So we played in Chatta-
Eooga the last Friday night against Dam
rosch's oratoric, on which the people there!
had been working nobly for four weeks.
and Of course it was not what we wanted
to do I must repeat that the tour has
been pleasure, and I am proud of the
band and Of every member of it. We hope
to go out again some time, and hope we
shall be able then to go northward."

HOT FIGHT WITH STRIKERS.

The Police Called In to Q0e4l the
Rioters.
A serious strike occurred at the plant of
the Illinois Steel Company in South Chi
caso. yesterday morning, 200 men throw
ing down their tools andswalking out The
strikers were at first disposed to be order
ly and peaceable, but later affairs took on
an ugly aspect. and it was found necessary
to call on the police to drive them out
Shortly before 6 O'Clock last night a
crowd numbering about LOGO men forced
their way past the watchmen at one Of the
gates and proceeded to take possession Of
the cDmpany's property. They marched
first to where some Of the lal,oring men
were still at work, and either compelled
them to Join their ranks or quit work.
Not much trouble was experienced with
the Laborers but when the strikers reached
the machine stop, where about 400 ma
chiniSts were employed, they met with q
different reception.
The machiniStS had a scale Of their own,
and the fight of the other men made no
particular difference to them, and they
refused either to quit or allow themselves
to be driven out Of the yards. The strikers.
who for the most part were composed Of
Huns and Poles, made several attempts to
persuade the machinfstS to leave their
work, but finding themselves unsuccessful.
they began an attack upon the machine
shop with stones and such things as they
could pick up. The machiniSts, for the
most part, stood their ground and gave the
strikers as good as they sent.
The fight was growing warm, and broken
heads and bloody noses were growing COM

moned when the fight first began, arrived
They were under the command Of Capt
jenkins, who at once made charge on the
mob with his handful Of officers The
strikers at first refused to give ground and
the police used their clubs freely. This did
not have the desired effect, and Capt Jen-
kfns ordered his men to draw their re-
volvers and fire over the heads OF the
strikers. AS soon as this was done, the
mob broke and fled wildly from the prem

BENNING CITIZENS,
business Transacted at the Meeting
Last Nfrht

Last Night.
Every officer was present last evening
when Vice President Mewshaw called the
Benning Citizens Association to order, and
after minutes of the last regular meeting
were read and approved the road commit
tee, through its chairman. reported that
the Columbia street car folks had begun
operations on Benning road, and would
soon have the square from 18th to 10th
street paved. The delay seemed to be
caused by the bad weather of the past
week, and for the additional reason, as re-
ported by Mr.. Thos Z. Clark, that material
could not be secured as readily as the rail-
way folks expected.
Mr.. John Boland of the railroad COM
mittee reported that railroad matters were
In good condition, but subsequently, a COM
munication was received from Capt Pick

Under the head of good of the associa-

matter for general congratulation that a

concurred in, and on motion the chair APP

Arrangements Completed for the Big
Southern Convention
TO ASSEM- BE HERE FRIDAY
Auxiliary Bodies That Will Hold
Their Sessions Here.
\ THOUSAND DELEGATES

Already the delegates to the big Southern
Baptist convention are beginning to arrive
in this city, and when the convention prop
err is called to order Friday morning at the
First Baptist Church the chances are that
it will be the largest gathering the organ
ization has ever seen.
While the local committee of arrange
ments have received but little information
on the strength of which they can form
any idea of the number coming, they are
Of the opinion that there will be at least a
thousand accredited delegates in attend
ance. The convention met last May in Dali
las, Tex. The total number entitled to
seats was LITE. and the number of dele
gates in actual attendance was 772 The
fact that the convention meets in Wash
ington makes 1t reasonably certain that it
will call forth fuller membership than it
could when held in even such a delightful
state as Texas. AS the majority of the
delegates are expected to bring their wives
or other members of their families with
them to take advantage Of the cheap rail-
road rates and The pleasures of visit to
the capital in spring, 1t IS not at all I'M
likely that the convention will bring here
between two and three thousand people
from all over the sunny south.
The Local Committee.
Every afternoon for some time past the
members of the local committee of ar
rangements have been holding meetings at
the Columbian University, getting ready
all the details that must be arranged in
advance for such large gathering. In
years gone by it has been the custom of the
local churches in the town where the con-
yention has met to provide accommodate
tons at the homes Of their members for
all who are in attendance at the conven-
ton. 1t can be readily seen that this Is an
undertaking oftremendOuS dimensions. and
the fact that the custom has been abolish
ed for this year las materially lightened
the labors OF the local committee.
AS it is they are expected to provide free
hospitality for the officers of the organiza-
ton and the returned missionaries only.
in a lessening of the junketing features
which attach to such body and a cores
pording increase in the attention paid to
business.
So far there has been no program arrang-
ed for the convention nor will there be in
advance. In its organization the conven-
ton is not diSsimilar to the United States
Congress. 1t may do its business as it
chooses and when it chooses, but there may
outline the work which will receive the
bulk of attention at each ensuing session.
The convention is not legislative body,
but merely advisory, and it's work relates
entirely to the education and missionary
work of the church. The three great boards
of the church-the home missionary, the
foreign missionary and the Sunday school
ports to the convention, and plans for con-
tinuing and extending the work are formu-
lated. This is the principal business to be
transacted.

UNION AND ORGANIZATION.


II, n
cOrding to Members of 1t.
The colored people of literary procliyities
of this city held literary reunion last night
under the auspices of the Bethel Literary
and Historical Society in the lecture room
of the Metropolitan A. NJ. E. Church. 1t
was largely attended. The presidents of
the different literary societies of the coll
ored churches of this city occupied seats
on the platform, together with some rep
resentative men Of the colored race. The
musical features of the evening were rem
dered by the Washington National Musical
Orchestra under the leadership Of Prof.
Thomas Washington. The exercises OF the
evening were presided over by r. S. Smith
of the Bethel Literary. After the meet
ing had been called to order the presiding
officer introduced Prof. J. W. Cromwell
who. on behalf of the Bethel, extended a
cordsal welcome to the several literaries
present The first speaker was Mr.. E. P.
Roy. Of the Commonwealth Lyceum, who
spoke upon The Coming Man." He was
followed by Thomas L. Jones of the Shiloh
Lyceum, who spoke on Organization"
saying that organization was especi lilly
necessary among the colored people il
they hoped to attain their rights and liber-
ties under the Constitution. For mutual
protection to the colored people IL was
necessary that strong organizations should
be formulated, as he claimed all labor
INSTALLATIONS, mQuStrSai OrSa9zati0nS and
religious organizations in existence among
the white people were against the negro.
If the race hoped to be a strong one, and
one that should command The respect and
recognition of all other people, it should
organize upon strong and substantial basis
He was followed by Prof. E. H. Eipscombc
president OF the Peoples Lyce1m, who
spoke upon -Union." claiming that the
negro needed to be united IN thought, in
inspiration and in ideas. There was enough
material thought in the negro race, but
what was needed was more thought along
the same line In united Thought there
were great elements OF strength and power
deeds were Drought about by the united
thought of good men and women In the
stern realities OF life the negro needed
that union of thought which would accom-
plfsh something for himself. He needed
to dwell IN tho atmosphere OF thoughts
along united efforts, and horeaftep the
negro wanted to so think upon noble
things and things OF great Importance, so
that it would uplift the race and cause the
white race to say: let there ba no strife.
