Facts Shown by the Census Concern
ing the District.
INTERESTING ARRAY OF STATISTICS
Forty Per Cent Of Westinghouse
Belong to the Church.
GRATIFYING COMPARISONS

The census bureau assures US. In its
latest volume of a state of things in regard
to the moral welfare of the good people of
these United States that Is surprising and
perhaps Notifying. And this Is that less
than forty per cent of us are church men,
bers. The thing Is set down in the plainest
black and white by diagram with heavy,
funereal lines that would strike terror to
the merest tyro in statistics. Out of New
Mexico sixty-eignt per cent of the people
belong to the church. and in Utah sixty
two per cent are in the fold of some faith
But no state in the Union shows like
state of churchliness. South Carolina
heads the list with a percentage of A.
Rhode Island. North Carolina. Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Minnesota coming
along in good alignment, but little slow
on the left
Then comes the District of Columbia a
glorious tenth on the list. Our percentage
Is IL. and is the last on the list to make
any use OF the four box-everything else is
way down In the thirties or lower. OKLA
homa brings up the ignominious rear with
but seven per cent of her people belonging
to churches.
In the District.
Out of the 23O, 1902 people In the District of
Columbia in 1890, there were 94,23 who
belonged to churches. These church MEM

MR.. SOVEREIGN HERE
The General Master W orkman Visits His
New Headquarters
Fnffguing Trip In the West - Ar
ranging Denomination In
Favor Of Debs.

General Master Workman J. r. Sover-
eign Of the Knights of Labor reached
Washington this morning. with his secre-
tary. He was seen at the new headquar-
tiers Of the order. ORB street, fronting the
Capitol grounds by a representative of
The Star.
Mr.. Sovereign was quite fatigued. His
health is in degree impaired, as the re-
suit Of long but successful lecture tour
in the states of Missouri and Kansas,
where he has been constantly for several
weeks, each night of which, except Sun
days. he organized an assembly of the K
of L. At Cotfeyvilie. Kan, he broke down
entirely, and was compelled to cancel his
engagement at Parsons. He then started
east, and Thursday night last spoke on
Sociology" from a knights of Labor
standpoint, before the summer school of
ministers now in session at Oberln, Ohio,
and the students of the college at that
place.
MI Sovereign said he was much gratified
at the increase in the membership of the
knights of Labor since the last annual
convention, in November, which is, ne
thought, at least Is per cent.
Abiding to the Incarceration of Eugene
Y. Debs, Mr.. Sovereign said: Within sixty
days every member of the Knights of Labor
ir the United States will be called upon to
oeVole one Qay TO the Simultaneous express
sion of vigorous protest against the inn
prisonment of Debs, and for demand for
his release. Debs,' said he, was convict
ed without evidence, without a jury trial
and in violation of the Constitution of the
United States, but do not believe that even
with these facts before him Grover Cleye-
land will grant Debs a pardon"
Speaking about some of the leading prob
lens of the day Mr.. Sovereign said: Not
withstaniiEg the great advancement. in the
arts and scier.ce and the great means of
production Of everything that ministers to
our needs and comfort, the burdens have
rot been lightened in like proportion. Hap
piness has not been increased. The condi-
tons have brought forth the dude and the
tramp: the latter is a cross between poverty
and crime, and the former is a cross be-
tween nobody and rothing."
In reference to the gold standard policy
Mr.. Sovereign said: 1T was conceived by
and brought forth in greed and avarice
Its purpose is TO concentrate wealth in a
few hands, while the great mass of the
people will be reduced to slavery
Mr. Sovereign will remain in Washington
for few days. probably leaving July j for
Brooklyn, n. Y, where he has an engage
ment to speak at great citizens demon
stration on Independence day.

An Enjoyable Musicale.

Quite large number of people assembled
in the spacious music room of the John F.
Ellis & Co. music store last evening, and
listened 10 a program of musical numbers
that was greatly enjoyed. The guests
were received by Mrs. and Miss Ellis, and
the introductions were made by Mr.. Chas
B. Bayley. Several numbers were played
by an automatic piano and the audience
was given an opportunity to examine the
mechanism of the instrument. Mrs. Kitty
Thompson Berry sang four songs, two
compositions by Mrs. Reddington. who was
the accompanist for them, and two by DR..
Bischoff, who performed the same duty
for the singer. The Columbian Mandolin
Club also contributed several selections
which were well performed. All were well
received. and the applause was earnest and
emphatic. At the completion of the pro-
gram refreshments were served, and an
hour or more was spent in conversation.
The guests included some of those promi-
nent in diplomatic circles, and the whole
affair was greatly enjoyed because Of the
pleasing informality.

EDUCATORS OF CoLoRED YOUTHS.
The American association VIII Hold
Its Annual Session in England.


It's Annual Session in England.
The American Association of Educators
of Colored Youths is composed of the pres
idents of the colleges and seminaries Of
the south which are devoted to the educa-
ton of colored young men and women.
The particular mission of the association
is to raise funds to endow the many schools
with which the members of the assoca-
tion are connected. 1t is with this object
in view that the association will hold it's
next annual session in London, England.
Sessions will also be held in Liverpool
and Manchester. DR.. Charles Leech, pastor
of the leading Congregational church in
London and president of Queens Park In
stitute, has manifested much interest in
the education of the colored youths in
this country, and at the session of the as :
ISOLATION held in Chicago at the worlds
fair urged the officers Of the association
to come to his country and make an ap-
peal on behalf of the colored Institutes in
the south. Arrangements have been COM
pIeted for the trip. and in the company
which will sail from this country at en-
early date are some of the most able and
representative men and women of the
churchmen and orators-who will go to
plead for the betterment Of the condition Of
their people in America.
The association was organized in Wash
ington March q, 1880, and has since then
met in Atlanta, Nashville, Wilmington, N.
c., and during the worlds fair held a meet
ing in the art palace. under the auspices of
the worlds congress auxiliary of the
worlds Columbian exposition. Each meet
ing has proven successful beyond the most
sanguine expectations of its members, and
yearly new names have been added to she
roll of membership. and those who are in
terested in the education of colored youth
have come in closer touch with each other.
Mr.. Jesse Lawson Of this city, president OF
the College Alumni Association of Howard
University and one Of the orignators of the
movement, has been invited by the board of
commissioners to speak in London on The
labor question in America, and II he can
make 1t convenient to go will doubtless
present something worth hearing on that
subject.

however, not to let a matter of that kind

the magnificent view which they obtained.
Upon their return to the hotel they We're
