RESCUE MASS MEETING.
Speakers Tell of the Crittcnton Hops
md Help Mission.

The rescue mass meeting which was held
in First Congregational Church yesterday
afternoon in behalf of the Florence Crit
tenton Hope and Help Mission. was q
splendid success in every way. The audi
ence occupied every seat in the large edi-
fee. The Y choir never looked more at
tractive in their oxford caps and gowns.
Miss Abbie Power presided at the organ.
Mrs. La Fetra, president of the local Flor
ence Crittenton Society and of the Hope
and Help Mission. presided, and, in opening,
stated that her fullest hopes were being
realized in the great awakening of public
sentiment in behalf of the mission, as evil
denced by the vast audience present, and
the speakers who had come to give such
valuable assistance. Mrs. Kate Waller
Barrett was introduced and spoke, briefly
stating some of the peculiar needs of
escue work in this city, the close proxim-
ity of the Division to the city's principal
line of traffic and the holiness of the
houses advertising their traffic, some of tha
houses being as well known and familiar,
even to Washingtons best citizens, as
places of legitimate business. Mrs. Barrett
introduced Mother Prindle, the matron Of
the New York Florence Crittenton Mis-
sion-the mother of all the missions With
her sweet, motherIy face the audience was
Won, and as she told pathetic stories of
our dear girls" as she tenderly calls them,
she riveted attention. She said that Broth
er Crittenton not only cares for the girls
with food and shelter and clothing while
living, but all who die in the mission have
Christian burial in the beautiful plat in
Maple Grove cemetery, where many of our
girls sleep, and above them a monument to
their memory, and upon 1T these words:
These are they which have come up out
of great tribulation and washed their robes
white in the blood of the lamb"
Mrs. Charlton Edholm, evangelist for the
National Society, spoke eloquently and ef-
fectiyely in behalf of little girls who are
stolen from their homes under pledges of
honest and honorable employment-then
taken to houses of shame and sin and
death, from which there is no hope of re-
demption, save through such workers as
Mr.. Chas. A. Crittenton, and those who do
the same work. A collection of nearly 500
followed, and monthly pledges of over $500
were given, ranging from % cents per
month to 81, and from one to five years.
A telegram was read from Madame An
tonette Sterling, the singer, that she would
arrive last night, and will sing at Wesley
Chapel tonight at 1:30.

IN LABOR CIRCLES.
Bricklayers' Union Considers the
Brewers Trouble.

Brick1ayers' Union Considers the
Brewers Trouble.
The last meeting of the Bricklayers'
Union, No. !, was very largely attended,
and the proceedings were of great inter-
est, while much important business was
transacted.
President Leon presided. The matter Of the
dispute between the brewers and their
locked-out men was brought to the atten-
ton of the union by the visit of a commit
tee from Gambrinus Assembly, who made
a statement in behalf of that body.
The union, after full consideration and
discussion, concluded to take no positive
action in the support of a boycott until all
honorable means have been employed to ad-
just the pending difficulty, and with this
purpose in view committee of three mem
bers of the union was appointed to act with
a similar committee to be appointed by
the Building Trades Council, and these COM
mittees will, 1t Is understood, jointly re-
quest the cooperation of the contract COM
mittee Of the Federation of Labor and Sc
cure, if possible, conference with the
master brewers. 1t is hoped to adjust the
difficulty upon basis that will be Just to
all parties interested.
1t was stated to be the sentiment Of the
organization that those of the building
trades having more at interest than those
of other crafts should make an effort to
settle the question at issue upon an hon
orable and business-like basis and il this
cannot be accomplished, then definite, posi-
tive action will be taken, as the union
unanimously decided to indorse and rigidly
enforce the boycott by imposing a fine of
one dollar per glass upon every member
who shall drink the local product.
Nominations were made for the officers
of the union for the term commencing Feb
ruary Il, for which an election will be
held at the next meeting, two weeks hence
During the meeting telegram was re-
ceived from the delegates Of the union at
Columbus announcing the final adjourn
ment of the thirty-firSt annual convention
of the Bricklayers and Masons' Interna-
tional Union, which has been in session
in that city for the past two weeks.

The Speed of the Electric Cars.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Anent the request of President Phillips
that the electric cars Of the Metropolitan
road be allowed to run at a greater speed
than that now regulated by law, it seems
strange that Mr.. Phillips should petition
the Commissioners for permission to do
that which many of his motormen do daily.
To citizens of South Washington 1t is no
novelty to see train come dashing along
at or very near to top-notch speed. This
is especially the case on Az street, where
the man at the motor appears TO take
particular pleasure in making close fin
ishes' with other vehicles. Pedestrians do
not receive the same recognition, as a
collision with a wagon would probably
damage the car in which event the motor
man would possibly have to make good all
injuries suffered by his car, or lose his
position.
On Saturday afternoon last about 8
o'clock a train coming north on the street
above mentioned was seen by the writer
running at certainly rate of not less than
twenty miles. if not twenty-five miles. an
nan sat, seemingly enjoying the perform
ance of his friend, the motorman.
Two friends of the writer, on the same
afternoon, with stop-watches, timed the
speed of several trains on the same street.
From the south side Of the mall, or the
north side of Maine avenue to the north
side of the mall or the south side of Mis-
This distance was made in a trile less
than twenty-eight seconds. or at the rate
OF eighteen miles an hour Under these
circumstances, why should Mr.. Phillips ask
for permit to increase the speed of his
trains? OBSERVER.

Many stories are being told of Gen. Thos.
Ewing and his public services. An inter-
esting fact in his career, as brought out
by Rev. Dr. A. w. Pitzer, who conducted
the funeral services in Yonkers was his
organization of the law firm in Leaven-
worth, Kan, of Ewing, Sherman & Nc
Cook. McCock was Of the family of fight
ing McCooks of Ohio, and was killed at
Kenesaw mountain; Sherman was Gen,
VIM. T. Sherman. Gen. Ewing was the
survivor of the famous trio.
Gen. Ewing was the first chief justice Of
the supreme court of Kansas, but before
he had opportunity to show his ability az
a Judge the war broke out. He organized
the eleventh Kansas volunteers, was it's
first colonel and was afterward promoted
major general His heroic conduct at Pilot
Knob saved the state of Missouri to the
Union and had potent influence in the final
termination of the great issues between
the states.
After the war his outspoken and uncom-
promising attitude on the subject Of re-
construction separated him from the re-
publican party, and caused him to defend
President johnson against impeachment.

The June weddings are over
and as there is nothing now to hold
people in their town houses, the COM
ing week will see the descent upon New
port, not fully populated as yet, of one
horde of fashionablcs from the teeming
town and another returning hot-foot
from Europe. "And like two streams
that meet and pour each through each
till, core in core, a single self reposes,"
they will with one voice demand:
'What are they going to wear this sum-
mer?" and what are they going to dc
this summer"

one thing-on the lucus non lucendo
principle, by running away from it;
nay, by remaining shut within protest
ing doors even as one would do at home;
for the excursionists will be here in
force and aristrocratic Newport will, as
it does on Sundays, ,mutely rebel against
their presence by seclusion. And, as
on Sundays, the watering carts will
take a rest and let the du-t of Bellevue

of the invaders.

A Family of Eight Whose United Ages
Foot Up to 669 Years.
The most remarkable instance of
longevity in the history of the Nut
meg state, perhaps, is noted in the
Kimball family of the town of Preston,
one member of it, Mrs. Abby S.
Cook, who is passing the closing years
of her life in the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. William II. Cook, of Franklin
street, this city, having celebrated the
other day the Goth anniversary of her
birthday. Mrs. Cook is the widow of
the late Isaac H. Cook of Preston. A
large number of her relatives, friends
and neighbors called at her home on her
anniversary day and congratulated her,
and the venerable lady, who is still
hale and active and of a cheerful spirit!
entertained them.
Mrs. Cook is a member of q family
of eight children, sons and daughters
of Elisha and Lucy Lathrop Kimball,
all of whom are alive and in vigorous
health, with the exception of Mrs. Sybil
A. Branch. the eldest, who died two
years ago at Roxbury, Mass. aged 90
years Az months.
Here are the names and ages of the
surviving members of the band: Abby
S. Cook, 90 years old; Sarah Green,
Iowa, S8; Sarah L. Brown, Chicago, IS;
Nelson L. Kimball. Iowa, 80; Frances

hostesses and guests are so young and
| girlish as to suggest class in high
school. Kitty Duer's tea was the first
of the series; and it may be remarked
by the way, that Miss Duer is rapidly
assuming in the swell set the place held
successfully by Mrs. Duncan Elliott
when she was Sadie Hargous and by
Mrs. C. Oliver Iselin when she was Hope
Goddard; the place of an acknowledged
belle, which depends quite as much
upon intellectual quality as upon mere
beauty. Miss Duer is quite as bright as
her cousins Alice and Caroline Duer,
the poets.
But to return to our muttons, or to
our woods and our fabrics at any rate:
There is a "new sleeve" the upper
part whereof is of the puff order, but so
complicated in it's puffery as to suggest
a series of small globes and cylinders
| mashed recklessly together. Below, the
sleeve is snug, and a la mousquetaire, OF
course. The new sleeves are adaptable
| to all kinds of gowns, from dotted mus
| Inns and printed zephyrs with inser
tion to heavier stuffs of wool with stiff
Innings, and dotted muslins are just as
popular this year as they were years
and years ago, just such muslins as onr
| patriotic grandmothers wore.
1t is noticeable about hats that they
irresistibly suggest London in two
ways: Four out of five of them have
the beef-eater crown as pat as if they
Just came out of the tower, and three
out of four of them have three ostrich
plumes arranged i'll the prince of Wales.
Ich Diem style, just as if they had been
removed from their presentation coiff-
ures at the queens drawing-room to
coldly furnish forth a street hat. So
strong are both these features in New
| port as to suggest anew the growing
| influence of London modes, for neither
! the beefeater crown nor the triple
plume is especially dear to the heart
of the Paris milliner.
There are continual revelations of
novel allies in dress material. Canvas
and lace ''go together" nova canvas

| fon front. The sleeves are canvas.
there is ruffle-alas! that must say
| It'll at the skirts bottom. and the
| jacket skirts are of the basque order.
The corselet is extremely popular IN
up-to-date corsages.
Violet and blue again collide in Paris
hats, the latter for the feathers. sie
former for the fabric.
An oddity is hat la Japanaise OF
mushroom color and shape, trimmed
with rosettes of tulle and an osprey of
bright green. The hateful frills appear
again in an otherwise charming cos
tune of book muslin, with braces and
belt of ngerine-tinted ribbon edged
with lace. These ribbon-and-lace ends
hang away down the back, and across
the skirt are not one, but two or three
bands of the lace without the ribbon.
White muslin and black lace over
checked silk is AN odd combination, and
q charming costume is black and
white silk skirt with black coat bodice
and an embroidered white satin waist
coat.

means always in light shades over dark.

Semland, in the state of Sonora, was
never seen by white man until about
two years ago, when the bureau of
ethnology sent out an expedition to eX-
plore that region. The natives are con-
rtantly vigilant every moment, from
day to day, week to week, month to
month, year to year, expecting and
dreading the approach of an enemy.
They are always prepared for any emer-
gency. The dearth of water was the
greatest obstacle to the exploration.
Every drop we used was carried from
IL to IS miles by men under heavy
guard. Water there is more valuable
than gold, and often we measured it
out in spoonfuls. In counting the dam
gers and labor of securing water we
estimated it worth at from three dol

The Deacon Uudone.

There was once deacon on Cape Cod
who heard early one morning that
there had been a wreck on the beach
near his house. He hurried down with
couple of pillow-cases; filled one with
sugar, hid it under the bank and went
on to look for more groceries. While
he was gone a neighbor came along on
the same errand, caught sight of the
pillow case, emptied it into his own bag
and refilled it with sand. By and by the
deacon returned empty-handed, and
carried off his pillow-case without no-
ticing the change. In fact, he filed his
sugar bowl and tried to sweeten his cof-
fee before he found out how badly he
had been treated. Then he was so in
dignant that he confessed afterwards:
81 was almost wicked enough to wish
there might never be another wreck on
this here coast again"
