There was a bold robbery committed in
South Washington last night about $50
o'clock at the store of Charles Crown, No
3O1 Az street. Mr.. Crown, who is an elderly
man. has kept secondhand, store at the
number mentioned for many years. He was
getting ready to close his place of business
last night when two strange men entered
and pretended they wanted to buy some fur
nture. Several small articles were selected,
and then one of the men pointed to rocker
hanging from the wall, which he though
would suit him, and the storekeeper, pro-
curing a ladder, was making an effort to
reach the chair when one of the men grab
bed him by the throat and held him while
his confederate rified his pockets of s16O.
When they. had secured this money thew
were apparently satisfied, for they did not
wait to search the money drawer and take
the chances of being captured. Throwing
their victim behind some furniture and
rubbish in the rear end of the store the rob-
bers departed. When Mr. Crown had re-
covered from the effects Of his treatment he
went to the police station on street and
made complaint. The police were given de-
scriptions of the young men, and a MESA ge
was sent to all the precincts, notifying the
officers of what had occurred, and request
ing the arrest of the criminals.

BROKE THE WINDOW,
Youthful DepredntOrs at the Blair
School Building.

School Building.
There is somebody in Northeast Wash
ington who Ia endeavoring to commit in
the Blair public school building what Jack
the Slasher' did in so many homes. Three
times within few weeks the building has
been entered and some damage DONE On one
occasion the depredators spilled ink over
the hCor of one of the rooms and destroyed
several dollars worth Of text books Super
vising Principal w. b. Patterson made
complaint to the police, and requested that
special attention be paid to the building
Yesterday afternoon three panes of glass
II second-story rear window were broken
and Mr.. J. H. Strongman, who was near the
building, heard the crash. Soon afterward
he went to his back door and saw two
small boys on the roof Of the back building
One Of them was picking glass from a SASH
and, without waiting to see what else was
going to happen, Mr.. Strongman mounted
his bicycle and went in search of a police
man. He found Officer Dalrymple, who
fastened to the building and found that
the boys had crawled through the openings
and entered room. They attempted to
hide behind the desks when the officer ap-
peared, but their hiding was only tenn
porary. The boys proved to be Clarence
Berg and Richard Stockton, each twelve
years old, who attend school in the build
ing. The Stockton boy was released on
collateral furnished by his parents, but
Clarence Berg was not so fortunate, and
he was held in custody. This morning the
boys were in Judge kimbalfS court, charg-
ed with destroying private property
1t was claimed by them that some colored
Boys had thrt Wn stones at them but they
were not prepared TO say just how the
windows were broken They denied that
they had done the damage. But Judge
kimball held them guilty, and fined them
- or fifteen days each.

THE NEW JERUSALEM
SeVenty-Si1th Annual Meeting Of
the General Convention.
new CHURCH YOUNG PEOPLE
Sunday School Association Has
Elected Officers.
c H U r H D EDICA TON

The seventy-sixth annual meeting of the
General Convention of the New Jerusalem
was called to order this afternoon at =
o'clock in the National Church, generally
known as the home of the Swedenborgians
in this city.
The meeting was presided over by Rev.
John Worcester of Newtonville, Mass, the
president of the convention. There was
very little business of public interest tran
sacted at the afternoon session, most of the
time being occupied with the work of or
ganization and the reading of routine re-
ports. This evening at S o'clock there will
be religious service, and the president will
deliver his annual address.
The convention will last through next
Tuesday evening, and number. of matters
, of considerable Importance to the church
are to be considered. Chief among these is
the question of mission work, and it is
probable that the whole system will be re-
yised and materially changed. The ques-
ton of the admission of women delegates
is not expected to receive much attention,
and it is generally believed that the matter
will be referred back to the council of min
listers for further consideration.
This morning the ninth annual conference
OF the American League of New Church
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-05-02

Young Peoples Societies was held, and
large number of young men and women
were present as delegates. Mr.. Ezra Hyde
Alden Of Philadelphia presided. and devo-
tional exercises were conducted by Rev. l..
q. Hoeck-
After the opening exercises the president
read an address. In it he made a simple,
direct appeal for more earnestness, that
the young people should put their shoulder
unitedly to the wheel
They left the work of furnishing ideas in
the church to the few, he said. and Were
not united enough In a systematic study of
the writings of Emanuel SWedenborg, which
so help to better understanding Of the
divine word. In this work they could not
COX for any natural reward. They should
not, however, center the heart on natural
reward. They are only members of the
church in so far as they are spiritual
Example or appeal may move to active CO.
operation. but in the end each must do his
own part. Systematic study is one phase Of
the work of regeneration. 1t fails in reach
ing its full fruition when the work Is left
to two or three Hence the need for more
earnestness and united effort.
After the reading of reports from the diff
ferent societies and the transaction of con-
siderable business there was an interesting
discussion of ways and means of interest
ing the Isolated young people Of the church
in the work of the league, introduced by
report of Miss Ida W. Hunt, corresponding
secretary

at the monthly meeting of the society last
night. Ex-senator NJ c. Butler was one
OF the prominent members who enjoyed
the evenings program.
Mr.. II. w. Obear talked on South Caro-
lima Poets He said that in poets whose
productions Were worthy of praise South
Carolina led the other southern states hay-
ing had forty-seven against thirty-five for
Virginia. Among the poets whose works
had been widely read he mentioned Paul
Hayne, Timrod, Sims and Legare Mr.
Obear thought the poets of the south had
not won the fame of those of the north, be-
cause the southern poets Were men of
wealth, who did not seek e,nolument for
their work Mr.. O5car discussed in an in
teresting manner the histories of some of
the best known South Carolina poets. and
told of his acquaintance with Hayne who
was tall and slender, with flowing hair
Capt. John 6. Capers. one of South Caro-
lina's brightest and brainiest young law
yers, now in the attorney generals office

TILLMAN AND HILL,
A Running Dialogue Freely Inter-
spersed With Personalities,


The dialogue between Senators Hill and
Tillman in the Senate yesterday afternoon
1t can scarcely be called a debate-con-
tinued after The Star went to press until
$50 o'clock, when the Senate, wearied by
the interchange of personalities and slap
dash arguments, adjourned until today
The talk had no reference whatever to the
pending measure, the naval appropria ton
bill, and pertained to the entire political
situation within the democratic, republi "a n
and populist parties, with frequent refer
ences to the new party which Senator Till
man distinctly threatened to organize if the
Chicago convention should refuse to de-
clare for free coinage at 1G to /.
Mr.. Tillman summarized the platform of
this party in the following phrase
with which he closed his formal speech !:
America for the Americans, and to Fell
with Britain and her toriesr He assured
Mr.. Hill that while he and his prospective
followers might not be able to defeat the
gold standard democrats this year, they
would interest them in 1900.
Mr. Hill followed Mr.. Tilman. and for an
hour and half there was a rough AID
tumble fight between the two heavy
weights, which became so personal at
length that the president pro tempore, Sem
ator Frye, who occupied the chair, called
the speakers to order and warned them of
the existence of the'Trule which requires
Senators desiring to- interrupt speakers to
address the chair first. and secure the per-
mission of the Senator on the floor before
proceeding to debate. This rule, however
was not strictlyfollewed and both Sena-
tors showed a disposition to mix up in
pugilistic parlance. and shot question and
answer back and forth without the least
formality. Mr.. HillnWaS in his, element
He was the object Of the attack of three
Senator's, Tillmap, Allen and Stewart, and
though he distinctly said he drew the
line" on Mr.. Stewart, yet he permitted
Sc
to interject a few short speeches for free
coinage in the form of questions.
The galleries and the floor were crowded
to the last moment. The Senate, however.
did not take the, discussion as seriously as
though the participants were in a dignitied
mood and toward nthe close the affair
smacked rather of the nature of a circus
than Of debate lin the upper house of the
national legislature. T..

BOSTON CHARLIE,

about the time of the alleged offense, pho
tographed and measured by the local police
authorities, AMI then sent out of the city.
He had then been rearrested in New York,

SET FOR TRIAL.
The Remaining Sugar Trust Cases to
he Taken In.

Judge Cole today set the remaining sugar
trust, cases down for trial before him Mon
day, June l. District Attorney Birney ask
ed for an earlier date, the 25th of this
month, 5but Mr.. Dittenhoeffer, Of counsel
for the defendants, explained that the en-
gagements of ex-senator Edmunds and Mr..
Jere NJ. Wilson precluded their appearance
earlier than the list of June, and Judge
Cole thereupon made that the date of the
trial of the first of the remaining cases.
The untried defendants are Newspaper
Correspondents Edwards and Shriver,
Broker Mccartney, and Messrs. Havemeyer,
Searlcs and Seymour of the alleged sugar
trust. The case against Mr.. Mccartney will
