tee represer ting the Churchman'S League
of the diocese of Washington, a meeting to
which all the -hurches of the District have
been invited to send members, will be held
tonight at Willard Hall for the purpose of
considering the. following proposed bill for
the better observance of Sunday:
1T shall not be lawful for any person to
keep open any place Of business, nor main
tain stand for the sale Of any article or
articles of profit during Sunday, excepting
apothecaries, for the dispensing Of medi-
cineS and undertakers, for the purpose OF
providing for the dead. or others for the
purposes of charity or necessity; nor shall
any public playing of foot ball or base ball
or any other kind of playing, sports, pas

This bill has been adopted Professionally
by the league, but it is proposed to submit
1t to the meeting as suggestion for dis
cussion and amendment So far as 1t reg
ulates the sale of articles on Sunday. 1t re-
peats v hat was enforced as law in this city
from December 1864, until July 5, 1887,
when. in the case of Stamford, the court
decided that 1t was invalid. for the techni-
cal reason that it had not received sig
nature required by law.
1t is understood that the movement
which 1t is proposed to inaugurate tonight
has the hearty sympathy and support Of
the Presbyterial Association of Washing
ton and vicinity, and that Sunday next the
Presbyterian ministers in the District will
preach on the theme, THE Social Aspect OF
the Proper Observance of the Sabbath"
