ENDEAV0RERS' MEETING
W AsHINGTON MAY BE SNAMPED
BY THE CONVENTION
Postmaster General Wilson to td-
dress the Eisit"rs-interest-
ing Excursions.

Washington June 3D-Final touches are
being given to the elaborate prepara-
tions for entertaining the fifteenth in
ternatonaI Christian Endeavor conven-
tion. Although the regular sessions do
not begin until Wednesday, July s. the
advance guard of the great Christian host
IS beginning to arrive, and by the middle
OF next week the nrush of visitors will be
like a mighty human tide. Within a few
,tedrs this summer meeting of young
tarIstians has dwarfed all other gather
insss in point of numbers. The only other
meetings that can touch" them are the
bis national political conventions and
everybody knows they occur only once
every four years. The onward march of
this Christian convention to an attend
anee that will be beyond the ordinary
mind to grasp, will keep up this year
The capital of the nation, which has seen
the biggest gatherings of any city in the
country in proportion to it's sze-the m
au&uration crowds : is already be-
ginning TO tremble at the thought of the
army that is to spread it's happy ever
smiling, ever-orderly squadron through
out the length of this umbra geous and
smoothly paved city. The local commit
tee is expecting fully 6oG00 visitors, and
the Rev. f. b. Bagby, chairman of the
reception committee. says he wouldn't
be surprised if 10000 more came. It's a
nara lnlnS TO keep Ia DS on the growth OF
this society. The mushroom growth is a
SOW development compared with it.
The Christian Indeavor movement is
growing at the rate of about 100 new so
cieties a week. On April %, 1885, there
Were A 596 societies in the world with a
membership of 2,6300G0. The first society
of Christian Indeavor was established as
recently as February ,, 1881, by the Rev.
Francis f. Clark of Portland, Me His
object was to train young people for ser
vice in church work, and this continues
to be the aim of the societies. There is
nothing tending to schism in the Christ
ian Fndeavor movement. The Christian
I!ndeavOrer is the more loyal and effect
i've Presbyterian. Methodist, Congrega-
tionalist. etc. by virtue Of his being, a
Christian Endeavorer Surely this is the
dominating reason of the astonishing sue
cess CT the movement.
There is. indeed. d United Society of
Christian IGndeavor, with headquarters in
Boston, Mass, but it is simply a bureau
of information, having but this one OBJ
jcct-to spread the Christie Endeavor
idea. The publication of literature and
Other business enterprises are the sources
of its income. Its chief officers are the
Rev. Francis F.. Clark, y. D., president;
John Willis Baer, general secretary, and
William Shaw, treasurer.
The United Society arranses for the

The business sessions Of the reunion will

one of the most important measures
to come up for decision and settlement
before the body will be the location of
site for the Charles Broadway Rouss
Confederate Memorial Museum. Mr..
Rouss, a wealthy merchant of New York,
was a soldier in the confederate service,
and is native of Virginia. He offered to
give $100,G00 for the establishment Of this
museum, provided the veterans Of the
south would raise a similar amount.
Most Of this has been raised already

and the other 10 closed in around the

and sent their charges away No one
was dangerously hurt by the clubbing.
