Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
WASHINGTON GROVE. Md, July 20 1897
A Bible reading by Miss Hughes from
Matthew iii. IA. and a talk upon the bap-
tism of the Holy Spirit commenced the
series of meetings of the W. C. T. L. today
The children's meeting at o'clock was
we'll attended, and at the afternoon serv-
ice, in the absence of the Maryland state
superintendent. Mrs. Plat spoke about the
White Cross Society for boys, and Mrs
Haslup explained the pledge, and the effect
of the white shield on organization fol
girls.
Purity" was the subject of the after
noon meeting. By special request Mrs
Sarah Miller gave an account of the
mothers meetings held in Sandy Spring
others who had participated in those meet
ings. O
DIR. ]. J. Muir of Washington, at the
evening meeting, had for the subject OF
his discourse "Blazed Ways" and referred
to the fact that in the worlds great move
ments of reform old paths were not fol-
lowed, but new paths were made, the re-
formers laying them out as Circumstance
dictated. In the temperance cause no new
paths are laid out. and no new gospel is
added. but the whole movement follows
along a blazed pathway. plainly marked
The speaker advanced the proposition
dividual a most baneful practice and
quoted, from the scientific standpoint
facts in support of it. as deduced by DR.
Rush one hundred years ago, and Dr.
Richardson, who SO startled England by the
announcement that alcohol was a detri-
ment to the human system in its action
upon the brain, nerve centers and the coat
ing Of the stomach, places which alcohol
seemed to seize upon. so readily. He said
when DR.. Parker of New York concurred
with those eminent examiners of the sub
ject the medical world began to closely
examine along the same line, and with
scalpel and microscope have clearly demon
strated the evil effect of alcohol.
Today. as a result of scientific research
the children in our schools are being
grounded in the theory that alcohol Is
deleterious to the human system. Business
men and corporations recognize such a
fact and refuse to employ men addicted to
it's use.
The speaker referred to the saloon as q
menace to home, to business and to the
church, and as being without a single re-
deeming feature. and altogether is an unit
of evil. Mention was also made of the
necessity, for the sake of consistency, that
Temperance" workers should be total alb
stainers, and cited the fact that the great
Church of England had one class of work
ers which was composed of total abstain
ers, for the work in the Sums OF cities.
At the close of DIR. Muir's remarks Mrs.
Shelton and the Misses Brooke, Robinson
Fairall and Gilpen passed around among
the audience, presenting the pledge fer
signatures, and many responded.

"NED." MAUNDER DEAD.
A Well-knOwn and Popular CIubman
PASSES Away.

fiSseS A"uE.
Edward Stuart Maunder one of the most
widely-known men in Washington, died at
Providence Hospital at / clock this morn
ing of consumption. His funeral arrange
ments have not yet been completed but
his friends have placed them in charge of
Undertaken Barker. and the funeral will
probably take place tomorrow afternoon.
the interment to be made at Rock Creek
cemetery.
Mr. Maunder was born at Falmouth.
County Cornwall England. August q, 1874,
his father being Captain Maunder of the
royal navy. His attachment to the land of
his birth was such that he never became a
naturalized citizen of the United States,
although more than half of his life was
spent in this city. He had no relatives in
this country, but left two sisters in Eng
land, one the wife of John Gem. barrster-
at-law, Penzance, Cornwall, and the other
the wife of James Cornish, banker, of
Lombard street, London
For many years Mr.. Maunder was the
law clerk of the late Judge Geo. w. Pas
chal of Texas, and was formerly very
prominent in local boating circles, having
been a member of the Analostan Boat
Club from its organization. He was a fine
oarsman, genial and companionable, good
singer, an accomplished raconteur. and
was beloved by a host of friends. He was
stricken with consumption about a year
ago entering the hospital the 10Th of last
April.

To the Eiitor of The Evening Star:
In the report of the address of Mr.. T.
Thomas Fortune at Zion Church last night,
as published today, he is quoted as saying,
"Judson Lyons, an original administration
man, was turned down by this man" (refer-
ring to Postmaster General Cary, who
said he could not appoint him on account
of his COLOR
If this correctly represents the speaker
he was both premature and unjust. The
Postmaster General has never referred to
my color in my presence in discussing my
application for postmaster of Augusta, Ga,
nor has he ever told me he will oppose my
appointment, or that l could not be APP
pointed. On the contrary, he has always
manifested the utmost solicftude to get all
of the facts bearing on the affair, and has
uniformly given me cordial and most
friendly hearing. If turned down" means
unsuccessful-defeat, rejection-I lack many
miles before reaching that stage in the
journey.
l am also fully convinced that the adj
1ninistration does not and will not counte-
nance objections to Americans based on
color. That is unrepublican, and the adj
ministration being republican to the core,
cannot, if it would, and would not. if it
could, tolerate such sheer nonsense. OF
the truthfulness OF this assertion the most
skeptical will in due time be abundantly
satisfied.
/ learned in early life that patience, next
to charity, IS a God-Slven and ind1SpenSa-
BILE virtue. Finding it useful, 1 do not hesi-
tate to recommend it generally, just at
this juncture. 1t is sweet, no doubt to
hold big office. but it is patriotic and glo-
rious to contribute something to the res
toration of prosperity to- seventy million
of people of depressed country, even
though that mite of contribution is but the
subordination of ambition to the welfare
of the nation.
1 regret that my friend Fortune should
have said anything unconnplnientary about
the people of ny home CITY, 1t is true
some Of them oppose me for the office that
l have applied for. but their opposition
has never descended to the Singing of
mud" nor the preferring Of bottomless ac-
cusations against me. Lean, understand
their opposition. 1t is the outgrowth of
their past environment and education.
They know me and respect me as a man.
and while l regret the opposition Of some
OF them, understand how to appreciate

An English Cottage Garden.

From Harper's Bazaar.
In imagining an English cottage garden
an American must begin by utterly aban-
donng all pictures of trinity divided plots,
and Of those Intervals Of Garth between
the flowers which lady Of my acquaint-
ance at home tried so vainly to extingush
| in her beautiful domain that she finally
abandoned the garden itself in despair
Here around the cottage there are trimness
and well-ordered earth intervals in the
| vegetable garden, but the flowers grow
| less in beds than in blazing masses, crowd
| ing upon one another in every nook and
corner and filling every bit of their al
| lotted space; gazing in at the windows or
the house also, and eagerly presenting
themselves to you when you open the
house door in the morning like excluded
kittens dogs anxious for breakfast
Far up the porch there grows climbing
rose" as in Tennyscn's Gardeners Daugh-
ter" beyond the rose are tossing clusters
CT lilac and laurel, and behind that a tree
of pink hawthorn, just coming into bloom
In the tangled beds and borders-tangled
that is, by the flowers themselves, never by
weeds or grass-there grows a mass of blue
hyacinths, crimson tulips. yellow zinnias
and mountain fringe, white narcissi. blue
and white "old mems Boards. mammoth
bachelors buttons pansies, forget-me-nots,
wall flowers, stock gillyf1OwerS, and a host
besides. Flights of rough stone steps lead
downward, hedged by little rockeries with
various ferns, and above these rise rough
| and even crumbling walls. covered densely
| with ivies of different species, including the
little blossoming vine known in America as
coliseum IVY" and here growing wild. In
| the middle there is lawn, set closely with
the little English daisies, and with butter
cups larger than ours. Behind the walls
and beyond the irregular neighboring in
| closures rise steep wooded hills, for this is
what Jean Ingelow would call "a cottage
| in chtne;" that Is, ravine which is con-
| nected with the world only by a flowing
| brook, and by one of those perfect and i'm
| maculate English roads which are the
| wonder and despair of every travelling
| American, SO hard and smooth Is their sur
| face.
| The woods and hedges and all the slopes
are more crowded with wild flowers than
any corresponding region in America unless
| 1t be Colorado: and the wonder is that
while the more delicate flowers of our own
| country are apt to die out before cultiva-
| ton, the native blooms still hold their own
here; and the cowslips, primroses, WALL
| flowers. gorses, brooms and bluebelis keep
\ their place unfiinchingly in the most culti-

Commissioner Hermann of the general

patton of a great number of contentious
over mineral land locations in various sec
tions where the gold discoveries have heen
made. He says that that region is prac-
tically without law, especially as 10 the
settlement of contests. the local offices
will be of infinite value to the land
interests and indirectly to the preserVa-
ton of law and order. The offices, II is
probable, will be located at Circle City
and Dawson City. The general land office
is in hourly expectation of petitions and
requests for some such action.
