consisted simply of exercising the muscles
without the use Of any apparatus.
Facing the class, their instructor led
them through the various movements by
making the movements himself. counting
from one to fifteen or twenty in each move
ment. First, with the arms hanging easily
at the side, the fingers were exercised by
simply opening and shutting the hands
Then the arms were moved windmill
fashion, after which light wooden dumb
bells were caught up, when the head was
turned first to the right then to the left,
backward and forward. Then the feet were
lifted, the body was raised on the toes, one
foot was moved away to the side and back
of the other. the body was bent at the
waist, forward, backward, to the right and
to the left.

Welcome to Washington, 80.

To all who love the Lord,
Resting upon His word,
welcome We bring.
In Christian charity,
Freely We offer thee,
Love in its sanctity,
As now We sing.
As we Endeav'rers meet,
In such communion sweet
From day to day.
While We to God appeal
May each His spirit feel,
May God himself reveal,
To all, we pray.
Welcome to heart and hoIn.,
Welcome to Washington,
Welcome this day.
God grant you peace and rest,
Make pure each loyal breast,
Be In each heart the guest,
With you Away.
Wave, wave, our cO1ors wave,
Those which our fathers gave
At freedoms birth;
Red, blue and white, the three,
Love, truth and purity,
Mighty in unity,
For all the earth.
O1e glad, united band,
Be quick with heart and hand,
For Christ to do.
Search for the strayed and lost,
Rescue the tempest tossed,
Save men, at any cost,
To God be true.

ton. 1t combines the colors of the conven-
ton to be held in the nations capital. which
are, appropriately, the national colors, red,
! white and blue, and its design consists of
a red and blue field, the upper half red and
the neither blue. On this field is a large,
white star, in the center,of which is blue
monogram &c E. of the well-known char
acteristic design, and across the upper por-
ton of the field of the flag, the red part, and
over the star. is swept in a semi-circle of
white letters the legend washington 90"
This design is the work, Of Frank C. Bliss,
member of the Calvary Baptist Church
and Christian Endeavor Society, and the
son of Rev. E. w. Bliss. His design was
offered in competition with others to the
committee of '96, and was the choice of that
body. 1t has been submitted to the officers
of the United Society of Christian Endeavor
in Boston and receives their hearty ap-
prevail. Mr.. Bliss has had the design pat
ented and has assigned his rights to the
committee of 90. who will make the flags in
two sizes and distribute thousands of them
when the time for decorating comes. One
size will be by 10 inches, and the larger
flag will measure 1lX2S inches. Next July,
If not before, the people Of Washington will
become quite asfafrfiiiar with the Christian
Endeavor combination of the red, white and
blue as they now are with the stars and
stripes
Within a short time number of these
county unions throughout the country,
where, conventions and meetings are held
in the interest of forming delegations to
come to Washington in 90, the flag will be
displayed and no doubt will be greeted with
enthusiasm.
1t was at Cleveland in 1891 that the prac-
tice of having distinctive convention colors
was established There everything was
yellow and white. In Boston last year GRIM
son and white prevailed. Washington's col
ors are emblematic of three great principles
of character which the Christian Endeavor
movement seeks to impress upon its adher-
ents. The red stands for love, the blue for
truth and the white for purity.
These IDEAS have been very pretttly intro
been adopted by the committee of 90 so that
the convention colors, the flag and the song
are all closely associated in idea and rur-
pose. The familiar tune America is the
music to which Welcome to Washington,
&C." will be sung. Mr.. Carlton Hughes the
author of the new song. is member of
the Metropolitan NJ E. Church. and secre-
ing Association. and though not a member
of any Christian Endeavor society is in full
accord with its princpleS and an admirer
of Its methods and WorlsS, His son, Percy
Hughes, is and has been Hor several years
a member of the faculty of the Central High
School. While he has never made claims for
recognition as poet, Mr. Hughes is said TO
be quite gifted in verso ana his friends have
frequently complimeHted him upon his
clever productions. It was the knowledge
of his ability in this direction that prompted
Mr.. w. II. II. Smith, chairman of the COM
mlttee OF '96 to ask him to write suitable
convention song. The result was that the
following verses were officially adopted by
the committee:

NEW UNIFORMS.


Metropolitan Employees Have Fresh
Grievance Against the Company.
the members of the Street Railway En-
ployes' Protective Union who are employed
on the Metropolitan Railroad are to hold
an Indignation meeting tomorrow at
Bunch's Hail. 314 Sth street northwest.
The meeting will be held at three different
periods to allow all of the men to be pres
ent at some time and state their griev-
erces and discuss the matters under con-
sideration. The principal cause for the
meeting is the action of the company in
directing the drivers and conductors to
purchase lew uniforms. 1t is stated that
the company Is dissatisfied with the style
of coat which was worn last summer, the
double-breasted coat, and the order now Is
that single-breasted coats are to be worn.
1t was said by an employe Of the road
yesterday that this order was hardship
OH nearly all Of the men. A number have
their coats of last year still In good con-
dition, and are not able to buy new uni
ferns at the present time. As they have
no means of disposing of the old coats or
wearing them out, their time being taken
Up by the company. they would be dead
less. 1t Is also said that some Of the men
receive as little as ffty-nine cents and
eighty-seven cents a day, and that these
men could not possibly afford to comply
with the new order. 1t is hoped by the
men that at the meeting tomorrow some
thing will be decided upon to make the
company change it's order.
