ing Isaiah 43. Assisting In the exercises
were a number of yet ng evangelists from
Philadelphia. who are known as the Bun
yam Pilgrim Bard, and who, with a gospel
wagon, are making a summer tour through
western Maryland.
At IL o'clock Miss Jennie Smith had
charge of conservation meeting at which
number of persons renewed their pledge
for individual work. The leader gave a
very interesting talk about her work at
Camp Alger ard other places among the
soldier boys. and in response to her request
for literature for distribution in the camps
the Christian brethren dorated 100 copies
of the Christian Guide and also 100 copies
of the much-talked-of publicatio What

Eyangelistic work was the subject pre-
scented at the afternoon meeting. Prisons

fcrcibly presented to the interested au-

Mrs Tatunl, Mrs. Haslup and others
made short addresses. and the subject of

was graphically portrayed by Miss Jennie
Smith.
The evening service. in charge of Mrs
IIaslup. had for its Principal speaker Mrs
Ella A. Booie OF New York, who is the
acting president of TIE W. c. T. L. for the
empire state and natioial secretary of tho

A NEW INDUSTRY.
As 1t Was Disclosed to a Rider of a
bicycle.

A new industry has been discovered, and
what no doubt win commend it to the in
terest of a large rumber Of PEOPLE is that
it requires no capital 1t was discovered
in active operation today by bicycle rider
who left his wheel leaning against an avn
ing post while he went into a store TO at
tend to some business. He was inside sew
erai minutes and when he came out ne was
surprised to see colored boy bending over
lis wheel.
The first thought of the owner was that
he had come out just in time TO prevent
his machine from being taken away. but
as he came nearer he found that the boy
was carefully rubbing the dust and the dirt
from the wheel with piece of rag. AS the
owner claimed possession of his property
by taking hold of the handle bars the boy
looked up and smiled and went on polish
ing and rubbing.
1t then dawned on the rider that this vol
unteer service had been offered in the hope
that 1t would meet with some reward.
The owner knew his machine needed clean
ing. and seeing that the boy had done his
work well. he gave him a small coin, and.
mounting the wheel, rode off. The trans
action was apparently satisfactory to the
boy and it certainly was to the other party
to the transaction.

Calls on the Mother of His Late Cap
tain.
Lieut.. John Robert Thomas of the
Rough Riders was in the city today,
coming here from New York, where he ar
rived a few days ago from Santiago. Lieut..
Thomas was met in New York by his
father, Judge Thomas. de facto governor of

lyn Thomas. They arrived here this morn
ing and took apartments at the Raleigh.
After having breakfast Lieut.. Thomas
and Miss Thomas drove to the Washington
arsenal, where they called on Mrs Capron,
mother of Capt. Capron of Troop L of the
Rough Riders. who was killed on the field
of battle. and whose place as captain of
the troop was at once taken by Lieut..
Thomas.
Miss Thomas is known as 'the daughter
of Troop L. having accompanied her
father and brother to San Antonio, Tex,
where Troop L became a part of the IA
nous regiment of Rough Riders.
Lieut.. Thomas walks with crutches, hav-
ing been wounded below the knee in his

his exploits in the battle of La Guacima,
where he was wounded and where he show
ed unf1inching courage.

THE EXTRA POLICEMEN.
Examination of the Applicants for
Appointments.

Another batch of applicants will be ex-
amined tomorrow by Leuts. Kelley, Amiss
and Kenney of the police force for appoint
nent as special policemen at street rail-
way crossings. From those who passed
successfully at the examination held Sat
urday, and from those who will pass to-
morrow the Commissioners will select the
men, about twenty in number. Thursday
there will be another conference between
the Commissioners and the presidents of
the railways using crossings at which the
men will be stationed, for the purpose OF
reaching an understanding as to the man
ner in which the compensation for the Hen
win be apportioned among the respective
railways. The Capital Traction and the
Anacostia companies have informed the
Commissioners that they are prepared TO
perform their share of the obligations inn
posed upon the companies by Congress. and
no fear is felt that the other companies viii
fail to do SO.

Most of the States Below Their Quota.
This statement is interesting as showing
the manner in which the various states are
responding to the Presidents second call
for troops. While several states have en-
listed men in excess of their quota. the ma
jority have fallen behind. The state
which have exceeded their requirements are
Indiana, Minnesota Missouri, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin. All the others are behind in the sup
ply or troops to assist in the war with
Spain. The worst delinquent is North
Carolina, which has furnished only fifty
hVe soldiers TO meet its quota of 7S3. Other
delinquents are the states of Colorado,
Louisiana, Nebraska, Tennessee and Vir-
ginia, each of which has supplied less
than one-third of the number of men re-
quired. Alabama. Massachusetts, Arkan-
sas, Georgia, Mississippi, Oregon and Texas
have done very little better, and are very
much behind in meeting the requirements.
Complaint has been made also that in sew
eral of the states, notably those In the
south, an effort has been made to foist
poor material on the government. 1t is not
known exactly how these men managed to
pass the medical examina tons, but the
fact is that many soldiers recruited In the
southern states have been dropped because
of physical disqualifications very soon af-
ter they have reported for duty.
The total enlisted strength of the regular
army to date is about Al. 600 men, being 49,
900 short OF its legal complement. The
volunteer army consists of 1873 600 men, and
lied strength. under the two calls issued
by the President The total strength Of
the army, regular and volunteer is 227, 600
now organized.

Fifty-five men of the 22d Kansas We're
