Christian Endeavorers Planning to
Cross the Continent.
PREPARATIONS FOR 's7 CONVENTION
Tours to Be Made Through Re-
gions Famed for Scenery.
THE LOCAL TION

A trip across the continent, stopping at
various places Of interest and passing
through tn, Rocky mountain region only by
daylight; weeks stay in San Francisco;
journey up the Pacific coast by water, or
through the attractive scenery of Califor-
mia by rail to Portland; five days and a half
spent in viewing the grandeurs of the yell
lowstone Park, returning to this city over
a different route than that taken on the
westward journey: an itinerary covering a
period of thirty days and at an outside ex-
rense of s1S5, including railroad fare, cost
of sl.epers, meals en- route and hotel ac-
&C mmodations in San Francisco-this, in
brief is what is being planned for the body
of District delegates who will attend the
Christian Endeavor convention next sum-
mer in California 1t is regarded as an ex-
ceedingly cheap trip and the opportunity of
a lifetime to make journey to the Pacific
coast and take in SO much of the attrac-
tons of the west under such favorable cir
cumstaEces.
Every Washing tonian remembers the
Christian Endeavor convention held last
July in this city. When next July shall
lave rolled around another convention.
similar In character and purpose. and held
under the same auspices, will be in session
on the opposite coast of the continent. 1t
will be the sixteenth international conven-
ton of the Society of Christian Endeavor.
For the first time in the history of these
conventions, a Pacific coast city has been
selected as the meeting place, although
Mississippi cities have entertained
the delegates. among them being ST. Louis
and Minneapolis.
At every convention since that held in st.
Louis in 1880 the District of Columbia En-
deavcrers have been represented by dele
cations of considerable size, and have been
entertained with a most hearty welcome.
In fact. at all recent conventions the Dis
trict delegation has been among the most
prominent in attendance. This has been
due partly to the fact that the delegates
were from the nations capital city, and
partly because this city was a candidate
for convention honors for the fifteenth in
ternational convention and worked to this
end couple of years before the convention
WAS actually held here

The District Delegation.

This year, although the convention city is
5000 miles across the country, the District
Union is planning to send, as usual, good
sized party of representatives Already a
transportation committee has been appoint
ed. consisting of W.W.Tuckey and w. H. H.
Smith. both of whom were members of the
committee of SO. the last named being the
chairman of that body. This committee is
busily at work now arranging an itinerary
and calculating expenses and arranging
plans. and every one who is at all acquaint-
ed with their work while members of the
!6 committee is entirely confident that the
best possible accommodations will be pro-
vi1ed for those who will take the conven-
ton trip next July.
While matters are still in a nebulous
state, the committee Is working to make
possible an itinerary something like the
following: Leave Washington June %, ar
irving in Chicago the next day, and spend
ing some time there in sightseeing. When
Denver is reached climb to the top of
Pixies Peak will be on the program, as
also a visit to Colorado Springs and Mani
tcu- II Is proposed for the rest of the
tourney westward to travel only by day
light, thus securing a most advantageous
view of the grand Rocky Mountain scenery
For the return trip the committee offers
choice of three routes. viz: First via
southern California and Santa Fe: second
over the same route as that traversed on
the westward trip. and third, over the
northern route, via Portland, Tacoma Bis
marck and Minneapolis. Tickets will not
expire until the 18th of August, allowing
considerable time to be spent on the Pacific
coast, if desired.
The committee has also arranged for a
side trip through the Yellowstone Park at
a cost of 1880 This includes board and
lodgings, as well as railroad fare This
trip will consume five and one-half days, a
sufficient time in which to see the principal
points of interest.
As to the cost. all the trans-continental
lines have offered rate of Sol from Chi
cago for the round trip, and it is antici-
pated that the eastern lines will grant a
rate of one fare for the round trip to Chi
cago- 1t is reported that very favorable
rates have been obtained from the Pull
man Palace Car Company. San Francisco
hotels are offering special inducements to
delegates. and accommodations, first-class
In every particular. are offered at extreme
iy reasonable figures. The local transDor-
tauon committee figures out a total expense
OF $40 for the entire trip, exclusive of the
Yellowstone Park tour, which covers every
necessary item of expense for the whole
journey. inclusive of meals and sleeper ac-
commodations en- route and board at San
Francisco.

" tne AMMUNITION now 1urn1Shed FOR work
in the gallery. Many marksmen claim that
the prevailing epidemic of low scores is the
direct result of the poor quality of the am
munition. In support Of this contention
they say that during the preliminary match
in December. when the handmade bullets
were used, the scores were exceptionally
high. A month later the same men who
fired in December. but making use of the
government bullet, were unable to reach
anything like the same figure of merit.
In this connection. Capt. Thomas 8. King,
superintendent Of the gallery, said to
Star rcporter:
THE frequent complaint of late that the
poor scores made in the gallery competi-
lions now in progress are due to the round
balls furnished by the ordnance depart
ment, United States army, Is without foun-
dalton. The fact of the matter is that few
men practice in the rifle gallery; the high
scores attained by the members of the 9Th
battalion are due to their steady. practice
at the targets. A few years ago objection
was made to the bullets nodded in The gal
lery, 1t being maintained. that they were
not as good as those furnished by the gov
eminent, and 1t was requested that their
use be discontinued. The great trouble
with ammunition Is owing to the careless
way that 1t Is handled by the men. In al
most every instance the cartridges are
placed In the pockets of the uniforms after
they are issued. and later inserted in the
piece without examination, and 1t fire.
Quently happens that the bullets become
loosened In that manner"
AS but slight advantage was taken of the
opportunity afforded for volunteer practice
in the gallery each evening from to 8
O'Clock It has been decided to close the
gallery hereafter at that time.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common glass with urine
and let it stand tweuty-four hours; a sedi-
ment or settling indicates an unhealthy
condition of the Kidneys. When urine
stains linen it is evidence of kidney troub-
lie. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out oforder.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfls
every wish in relieving pain in the back,

wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
