FOREIGN MISSION SUNDAY.
Services at the Congrega
tional Church-An Unlucky Fox
Hunter.

The services on the general topic,
Goods kingdom in Bulgaria and Tur-
key" at the First Congregational
church, Sunday, were attended by ex-
ceptionally good audiences all day. and
much interest was manifested. Rev. G..
H. Daniels of Boston commenced the
day by conducting a 20 minutes devo-
tional meeting at 3 o'clock. At the
1915 meeting, Rev. c. H. Daniels spoke
on, ''The far flung battle line," and told
of foreign mission work in different
lands. Rev. l.. S. Crawford of Turkey
spoke briefly, telling of his experiences
and the needs Of his people. Miss Ellen
S. Stone, a worker from Bulgaria, spoke
of the needs of Old Macedonia and New
Bulgaria, and at the IL o'clock service
which was held in the auditorium The
speeches were interspersed with singing
by a chorus of % voices.
The Y. P. S. G. e. and the Junior So
ciety held a union meeting at upstairs,
and were entertained with a very inter-
esting account of the work in Bulgaria
by Miss Stone She told of the small,
one-room houses where the winters pro-
visions of cabbage, cheese and meal
were kept in barrels in the living room,
and of the amount of good work already
DONE The people of that country are
necessarily very ignorant, but learn
readily and are eager to read. At pres
ent, owing to the failure of contribu-
lions from other lands, paper which
was started has been forced to sus-
pend, and no books are being printed
in the native language, so that however
the people may want to learn, there is
nothing to supply their longing. Miss
Stone made an earnest appeal for aid,
and a collection of $107.76 resulted.
Rev. L. 5. Crawford made brief adj
dress upon the conditions of Endeavor
work in Turkey and the difficulties en-
countered. The sultan is very Jealous

Danford johnson, who has been acting
in that capacity since the supreme court
has been considering the case, steps
down and out, and Patrick Foster now

janitor of the hall. Late Saturday eve
ming legal notice was served on John
son that his services were no longer
needed in that capacity, and he later
turned the keys over to Foster. This

The Excise Board Defended.
To the Editor OF The Evening Star:

To the EDITOR OF The Evening Star:
In letter TO the District Commissioners,
published in Mondays Star. the "Anti-Sa-
loon League" makes vigorous and unjust
attack upon our excise board. A careful
reading of this wonderful illumination
shows where the shoe pinches. The excise
board enforces the law instead of making
law. 1t will not please the Anti-SalCon
League by resolving itself into prohibi-
ton board. The act of March 3, 1888, is
a model liquor law. The people on each
square decide for themselves whether they
want saloon. If a majority of the resi-
dents and real estate owners sign the petit
ton for a license the excise board cannot
refuse to grant it; Tor does the law author
fze the board to arbitrarily limit the num-
Der of saloons when applicants have COM
piled with all of the numerous legal tech
nicalities.
Washington has one saloon for each coo
inhabitants. That is not an excessive num-
ber of saloons. The league says: Wash
ington has more saloons in proportion to
population than any other city of the coun-
try. with few possible exceptions" The
statement Is not true. This slanier upon
our city should not pass unchallenged.
AGAIN, the league says that the gentle
men of the excise board have thrown
aside protests of property owners and resi-
dents. | venture to say no such protests
have been disregard unless they represent
the minority on the square. Ma; ;ority rule
IS what the league does not seem to want.
The league should stick to moral suasion
instead Of making reckless statements
about our beautiful city and its officials. A
W NaShngtonian cannot thoroughly Gpp-e-
ciate his place of residence upti he has
visited many other cities. The excise
board should be encouraged in the good
work 1t has done enforcing law, instead OF
making it
Ihere Is only one improvement l nave to
suggest, and / believe the excise board has
done all it could legally do IN that direc-
ton An appropriation should be made to
enable the board to test the purity Of
liquors sold. and it should be empowered
to cancel the license of any dealer who
aduterates his goods
