The Y. NJ. C. A. Looking for Tenn
porary Quarters.
Mr.. Pugh, the secretary of the Y.M.C.A.,
today devoted considerable time to the task
of securing place to serve temporarily as
the headquarters of the shelterless organi-
cation. Several refusals were obtained,
and probably 1t will be determined Monday
where the association will be located until
permanent arrangements can be made. 1t
is expected to have an office, a reading
room and an amusement room in the tenn
porary quarters. 1t is probable that the
association will have to be located on the
second floor of building, 1t has been
found impossible to secure the ground floor
of any building in suitable locality for the
purpose.
The gospel meetings for men only, which
were SO successfully carried on In the YIN
CA. building, will be held at the usual
hour, 430 pm, tomorrow in Foundry ME.
Church, corner 14th and G streets north
west. There will be an address by Rev

This meeting will be especially interesting.
and all men are requested to come.
The Sunday school teachers Bible class
of the Y.M.C.A., led by Mr. w. H H,
Smith, will be held in the Foundry Church
lecture room this evening. This class has
been very helpful to many teachers, and II
is the desire of the association that It be
continued.

johnson May Preach.

James H. johnson, the colored man who
was arrested because he had been COM
planned against for preaching in the alleys
was tried in Judge Miller's court today on
charge of being loud and boisterous
Temperance avenue was the scene of the
meeting complained of, and neighbors ap-
peared in court to tell how the man with
strong lungs disturbed them.
Have you ever been in the peniten-
tiary?' Mr.. Pugh asked johnson, when he
got on the stand.
"Yes, SIR" he answered.
For what?'
Receiving stolen goods" he answered.
but I've reformed
ITO what denomination do you belong?'
Judge Miller wanted to know.
Mission Union"
DO you mean the Central Union Mis-
sion?" Mr.. Pugh asked him.
NO, SIR he answered Just a band of
brethren to minister to sinners and look
after the sick and bury the dead"
Concerning the question of noise, Judge
Miller asked if the defendant did not have
good lungs, and he answered: II have,
and the spirit tells me that when these
lungs are gone the Lord will give me new
ones. When 1 was arrested the other day,
l was preaching from the 14th chapter Of
John, Let not your heart be troubled "
client had all the rights and privileges en-
joyed by the Central Union Mission and
the Salvation Army.
Judge Miller told him that Johnson could
preach, but he must not go in thickly pop
ulated sections of the city, where his
pI reaching is done to the annoyance of
others. His personal bonds were taken.

HARRY PARK FAILED.
Dsd Not Break the Bicycle Recoy
Run From baltimore.

Harry Park, the well-known local
scorcher, made an attempt this morning to
lower the bicycle record between Baltimore
and Washington over the long road by
Ellicott City and Ashton. The distance
between the limits of the two cities is
about forty-three miles, and the record at
present is held by j. j. Fister who covered
the distance in hours, IL minutes 10 Sec
onds.
There has been some question as to
whether listers record would stand, and
the claim has been made that he was not
timed in thoroughly satisfactory manner
SO it was hoped that the matter of record
would be settled this morning Unusual
eHorts were MADE to have the timing ac-
t cur beyond question. w. j. Espey Of
this city went over to Baltimore with Park
anc timed the start with a stop watch,
which was sealed in the presence of a
number of witnesses. Espey then came
over on the first train, and the seal was not
broken until a few minutes before Park
crossed the line at 7th street and Florida
avenue.
Unfortunately Parks attempt today was
unsuccessful. He not only did not equal
listers record, but did not come within
twenty minutes of 1t. This was largely due
TO the strong wind, unusually strong for a
summer day, which was dead against him
an the way, and made record work out of
the question. Just this side of Ashton he
practically gave up, although during the
earlier part of his run he was well up to
schedule time, and occasionally ahead of
It, Under the circumstances, the time he
made. hours and 40 minutes, was nothing
to he ashamed of, although he took it easy
for the last fifteen miles,
There was a big crowd of people at the
mead OF 7th street to watch the rider cross
the line, and number of wheelmen went
out on the road to pace him in. AS the
time for his arrival drew near there was
quite q little excitement and considerable
disappointment when it was seen that the
effort would be a failure. Fister was in
the crowd and was sportsman enough to
say that he hoped to see the record brok en-
SO that he might have another try at it,
Park went over to Baltimore on an early
train this morning and was in the pink Of
condition and confident of lowering the
record. The first start was made at s
o'clock from Gwynne's bridge, but just this
side of Baltimore Park he got tangled I'D
with some fire engines which were going
to fire out on the road. and was COM
PEELED to put back owing to break in his
wheel. The second start was made prompt
ly at $50, and from then on Park met with
no mishaps. He Is confident that IL it had
not been for the wind he would have given
good account of himself. He was in good
condition when he reached this city and ex-
presses the intention of making another at
tempt over the same route within two or
three weeks.

MUST PAY DUTY.
The Mosaic Slabs to Ornament St
Matthew'S Church.

The Mosaic Slabs to Ornament St.
Matthew'S Church.
Information has reached here of the &C.
ton Of the board of general appraisers at
New York, affirming the decision of the
collector of customs at New York in the
matter of twelve slabs of white marble set
with nnosaics in the form of a cross, which
slabs were designed to ornament the walls
of St. Matthews Church in this city. The
collector assessed duty at the rate of - per
cent ad valorem as manufactures of mar
BILE. not specially provided for" Rev. Thos.
s. Lee, pastor of the church, protested
against this assessment, and claimed that
the merchandise was free of duty on two
alternate grounds-first, as a work of art,
imported for presentation" to an incorpo-
rated religious society, and, second. a
work of art, or as artistic copies of antqui-
ties, imported in good faith for permanent
exhibition at a fixed place by any society or
institution for the encouragement Of the
arts or of science" &c.
The cas-. came before the board of ap-
praisers appeal The board sustained
the action of the collector. 1t held that the
law does not entitle the articles to free en-
try. because they were not imported for
presentation to the church, but presump-
lively were purchased directly by the
church or its agents; that it is manifest
that the goods are rot covered by the de-
scriptive terms of the act relative to works
of art or as artistic copies of antiquities
imported in good faith for permanent ex-
hibition."

Willis was a fine looking man, of dark
complexion. and had splendid physique,
being over six feet in height and well pro-
portioned. He was considered one of the
best horsemen in the country and was par
ticuarly valued by the President for the
consciousness he always displayed of his
responsibilities.
