GOSPEL WAGON SERENADE
Melodious Thanks to The Times for
It's Reform Work.
Mr.. Wheeler Talks of "The Open
Door" and the Need ofIt, as shown
by Ella MilIer's Case.

The Times was serenaded last night by
several members of the Central Union
Mission in the handsome gospel wagon that
is such a familiar sight to pedestrians
along the avenue on Sundays
After their usual evening tour among
the slums the wagon was driven up in
front OF The Times office, and the ladies
and gentlemen in the wagon, led by Mr..
George w. Wheeler, sang several appro-
pirate hymns.
The presence of the wagon attracted a
number of passers-by, and quite a service
of song was held, although it lasted but
a few minutes.
The wagon was then driven to the Mis-
sion headquarters on Louisiana avenue,
where mission services We're held.
We are giving this little serenade,"
said Mr.. Wheeler, to show our admiration
for The Times and gratitude for the good
work it is doing. 1t adopts the right side
in everything, and we feel that We, as well
as every other class, have a stanch, true
friend in the paper. We desire to make
public our appreciation of its efforts, and
we. thought that this little serenade would
be the best way to do it.
I'VE are just getting ready branch mis-
sion on ID street between Thirteenth and
Thirteen-and -a-half streets. which viii be
called The Open Door and which is de
signed TO shelter homeless girls and those
who are leading a life of shame. The de.
plorable chapter in the life of Ella Miller
related in The Times shows plainly the need
of such a place in that neighborhood."

CARSON STILL The LEADER
Old Time District Republicans Sit
Down on the Mckinley Boom.
Also Adopt Resolutions Asking Con-
gress to Restore Suffrage in the
Observation-Disclosures OH the Police.

The "oId boys" of the District Republic
cans sat down very heavily but paternally,
last night, on the Mckinley boomers at
Booker's Park.
The most significant event OF the meet
ing was the reading OF a letter from Aaron
Brookshaw, chairman of the Republican
Central Committee OF the District, to Col
Perry Carson, in which the former said
that IL was we'll known that there had been
in the District for some time the agents
of a certain Presidential candidate, who
were armed with the sinews of war"
He hoped that the meeting would put the
seal OF its disapproval on any movement
that would attempt TO forestall the action
of the national convention.
1t has D@eD well understood on the
inside, however, that the Mckinley Leaguers
have candidate OF their OVID, Mr. X. II.
Keys, aud at the recent meeting of the
league there was "a good deal of talk about
new blood and young blood, meaning the
retirement Of Col. Perry Carson.
Col. Carson presided and made the opening
address. He assailed the policy of a hand
ful of Republicans III the District who were
trying TO shape the national policy and name
the President. Such assumption would
make them the laughing stock of the nation.
He admitted mat he would serve, If re-
elected, but wouldn't kick If he were
fairly defeated
The buIden OF his speech was that the
colored Republicans should align themselves
with that Presidential aspirant who would
come the nearest to guaranteeing the
colored race their civil and political liber-
ties and privileges.
Col Carson then branched off and at
tackled a certain class OF the police of
the city and their way of dealing with
colored prisoners. He characterized them
as asassassins, and thanked God Almighty that
the colored people had at least a friend in
Commissioner Truesdell.
The next speaker was MI X richard Laws.
He also counseled a waiting policy i'll the
matter of booming candidates He also
attacked the police.
Resolutions were offered by Mr. Richard
T. Smith and adopted, which ask Congress
to restore sufferage TO the people of the
District, provide for the appointment of a
committee requesting the promotion of
Policeman Clinton to the position of ser
geant. and thanking the Commissioners for
their appointment OF three colored men on
the force.
After a short speech from W. II. Freeman
the meeting adjourned. The committee
referred to above was not appointed last
night

Presidential Chair.

AT least one-half Of the delegates who at
tended the fifth annual meeting Of the
Baptist Young Peoples Union OF America,
Just closed in Baltimore, are stopping over
in the Capital City on their home-bOund
journey.
Fully 500 OF them, with almost as many
more young people ofthe same denomination
from this city, assembled in Calvary Baptist
Church last evening aud listened 10 after
math speeches of the successful Ieonven-
ton.
Neither the warm weather nor the weari-
ness necess ariIy following attendance on
the convention sIackened the enthusiasm
of those present and songs and addresses
together with an informal social before and
after the formal gathering caused the even
ing to pass pleasantly and all too ssssekly
for the guests.
FLAGS AND FLOWERS.
A copious display of flowers, that hung
from almost every available nook IN the
church, and a happy arrangeme Mt Of
palms formed the decorations. They had
been arranged by a committee composed
OF Ms. Anna Prentiss, Miss Carter, and
Miss Price.

the Iatter's summer vacation, delivered
the address OF welcome.
Rev. DR.. Wallace, OF Toronto, who had
been asked to speak Of the young peoples
work iu Canada, was then introduced by
Mr. Bristoe. His work, said he, is among
the choicest Christians he had ever known.
The young peoples work had taken strong
hold among the Baptists of the Canadian
city.
THEIR SPIRITUAL WORK.
The young people devote most OF the time
given to the society to work OF spiritual
nature, and more time is devoted to q study
of the Bible than to social pleasures.
The convention held last year in Toronto
she said, had gone far toward streng gthen-
ing the religious work OF the young people
OF the Province.
As DR.. Wallace retired from the room IN
order 10 catch a train, the meeting gave a
hearty rendition OF America - that merged
into the song The Tie That Binds
Rev. DR.. Thomas said that there was no
dividilg-iira ia religion in Washington.
II hope we VIII yet see a Baptist in the

politics as it does about his religion. Joe
