DIR. POWERS THEME,
salvation Discussed Before Young
Mems Christian Association.

The regular Sunday afternoon meeting for
men of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton was held yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock in the lecture hall of Columbian
University. A fifteen-minute song service
conducted by Mr. Charles S. Clark, pre-
coded the address of the afternoon, which
was delivered by Rev. F. D. Power, ID. D..
pastor of the Vermont Avenue Christian
Church. Salvation Through Jesus Christ
Alone was DR.. Powers thema and it was
forcibly presented by him to the 200 men
in attendance. Mr.. ]. D. McFall sang two
hymns-"Over the Line" and Jesus is Call
ing"
Announcement was made that the meet
ing next Sunday afternoon would be ad-
dressed by Mrs. Commander Booth-Tucker
of the Salvlu Army. Secretary Sleman
stated If the lecture hall of the University
would not accommodate all who came to
the meeting the other hall in the building
could doubtless be utilized for an over
flow meeting, and that Mrs. Booth-Tucker
would speak in both places. 1t was also
announced that the Mems Bible class, with
Col. Charles Bird, u. s. A, as its teacher
had resumed its sessions Sunday afternoon
at 2;4o clock, in the associations rooms,
400 New York avenue, and that the Tues
day evening prayer meeting would be re-
sumed this week in the rooms Of the as
ISOLATION.
At the close of the meeting yesterday
afternoon a largely attended meeting of
the committe on religious work of the as
ISOLATION was held, presided over by the
chairman of the committee Mr.. H. B. F.
Macfarland. This committee which Is to
consist of hundred or more members, will
have in charge all the religious work of
the association.

TEMPOR AIRY CLERKS.
Continuing Emergency Appointments
in the War Department.

An amendment of local interest was made
to the legislative bill in the House late Sat
urday afternoon. On motion of MIR. Bro
sius the following was substituted for the
proposition reported in the bill originally
relating to temporary appointments I'm the
War Department: Strike out section Of
the bill. on page 122, and Insert IN lieu
thereof: Sec. ,. That the term of tempo
rary service OF such additional clerks and
other employees, rendered necessary because
of increased work incident to the war with
Spain, who have been appointed in the va
rious departments of the government I'M
der the provisions of an act making appro-
priations to supply deficiencies in the ap-
preparations for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1895, and for prior years and for other
purposes approved July Z, lSlS, shall be
extended for the term of one year. without
compliance with the conditions prescribed
by the act entitled An act to regulate and
improve the civil service approved Jam
uary 10, 1883 provided they are otherwise
competent"
In explanation of the amendment Mr..
Brosius said:
Il will state the point of the amendment
in just word. Under the legislation Of a
year ago on the deficiency bill provision
was made for certain additional force, made
necessary by the war with Spain. 1t pro-
vided that the additional force should be
service act. There was, L think, necessity
for that provision, because there was an
eAlgency upon us, ana immediate action
seemed TO be necessary.
Il was absent at the time; but section
of this bill provides for still further addi-
tional force and that that additional force
shall be appointed in the same manner as
provided in the act of last year to meet that
exisency. AS there is no eXigency of that
kind confronting us now, there does not
seem to be sufficient reason for having
them appointed in that manner. This sec
ton simply provides for the extension of
the temporary service of those appointed
under the act of last year for one year, SO
that it will avoid the confusion of making
any changes in these appointments of those
already in the service and presumably
doing good work; but that those hereafter
appointed shall be appointed under existing
law
Mr.. Bingham-"I would state to the gen.
tleman that that truly carries out the in-
tent Of the committee on appropriations"
The amendment was agreed 70.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In view of the fact that the District of Co.
lumbia Volunteer Aid Association meets
this evening at the Center Market Hall at
80 o'clock, probably for the last time, al
though there are hundreds of District SOL
diers still in the field, and particularly in
active service in Cuba, l desire through the
medium of your valuable and estimable pa
per, as the mother of one of our boys, to en-
ter protest against the closing the affairs
of the organization at this time. The D.C.V
AID Association was organized for the eX-
press purpose of looking after all the Dis
trict boys in the field and not the members
of the list District Volunteer Infantry alone.
believe this arrangement caused quite a
controversy when the association began its
work but it finally settled in favor of
all the boys. Now that the LIST d. c.. Vol
unteers have returned home there seems TO
be disposition to let the rest of the Dis
trict boys shift for themselves. at least
among some of those who had sons hus-
bands or brothers in that regiment alone
and who now seemingly wish to cast aside
the responsibility and labor attendant upon
keeping the association in running order for
the benefit of those who still have sons in
the service. 1t must be remembered that
many companies in the immune regiments,
and particularly in the 4th L. S. Volunteer
infantry, now stationed at ManZanillo,
Cuba, and in that vicinity, made up al
most entirely of District boys, and surely
these in view of the original purpose for
which the association was organized should
not be forgotten or neglected The plea
has been made by some that the War De-
parment is now taking care of the boys
in a highly satisfactory manner, and that
they do not now need the aid furnished
by the association. Though the first state
ment may be true, and probably is, the
boys do not and will not receive those lit
tie comforts from home that go so far
toward making the soldiers lot in the field
happier one than could be brought about
by any number of War Department Off
Gals. We certainly owe it to the boys to
see that they get these comforts. The asso-
citation by keeping up its work would en-
able individuals to send articles to our SOL
diers in Cuba not only at less expense but
also in a much safer manner. 1t would
lend Its influence toward securing for the
boys any requests that might be forwarded
by them to the War Department at the ma
uonal capital, if need be- and it would GER
tainly assuage the feelings of those who
cannot help but entertain the thought that
they have been sighted. There are more
District boys in the field today than there
were in the District regiment alone, and
through your generous columns l ask all
those who are interested in them to either
oppose this movement to cut them off from
home aid or to take steps at once to form
a new organization and carry out the pur-
pose of the original association.

STOVES EXPLODE.
Coal Oil Heaters Cause Damage in
West End.

West End.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Saturday even
ing a coal oil stove in the meat and pro-
vision store of Morgan & Southy, at 304S
NJ street, exploded and set fire to the
place. The flames were not eXtinguished
until damage to the amount of $500 had
been done to the stock and store. The eX-
plosion, it is stated, did almost as much
damage to the place as did the fire. The
stove was a large one, and was used for
heating the store 1t was in good condi-
ton. it is said, and burning all right just
before the explosion Mr.. Morgan, one of
the proprietors, happened to be standing
in the doorway at the time, and William
o. Drew, jr, of the fire marshal CT
the District, was in front of the store. Mr..
Morgan was thrown clear across the side
walk into the gutter, while the fragments
of broken glass cut young Drew severely
about the face. The latter was taken to
Braces drug store and treated. The shelv
ing and contents were thrown around the
interior of the room, and simultaneously
with the explosion the flames began to ap
pear and spread. An alarm was turned in,
and, after fighting for nearly an hour, the
firemen extirguished all traces of the
blaze. though not until the store was COM
pletely Quilted.
Another explosion of coil oil stow" oc-
CURED yesterday afternoon shortly before
O'Clock, at the residence of Montgomery
Masters, in Harlem, on the Conduit road.
Charles Benson and Oscar Maher, who
happened to be in the vicinity, eXtinguished
the fire that resulted. Benson was pain
fully burned The damage was only $40.

Remedy for the Grin,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

10 Tue Editor OF Tie Evening Star.
1t may interest your readers and the pub
lie in general to know that during the great
influenza epidemic in London, in 1889, the
board Of health of that city advised the
public affected with the disease to make an
abundant use of hot lemonade. The perspi-
ration caused thereby is, in most cases,
sufficient to relieve the patient of severe
colds and saves him from taking refuge in
quinine or other drugs, leaving often un-
pleasant results.
In bronchial troubles the acid of lemons
relieves the irritation in the throat acting
at the same time as a natural disinfectant
Fresh lemon juice, even when diluted in
small proportions with water, will kill the
therein contained cholera bacillus; hence 1t
is not surprising that 1t will also destroy
the so-called influenza bacillus.

Franco-German War.
To the Editor of The Evening Star,

To the Editor of The Evening Start
Siegfried Genthe should be more careful,
for many read your paper. He says Mill
liens of soldiers were In the field" My his
tory tells me that there were in the fed
less than 10000 soldiers. He says that at
the battle of Gravelotte more combatants
were killed than the United States ever had
landed in Cuba in the recent war" At
Gravelotte about IS, 600 combatants were
killed and wounded, and of that number
less than 5000 were killed. He says the
five millions of francs which were demand
ed as an indemnity could be paid by France
without difficulty" 1t was five milliards of
francs; a milliard is a thousand million.
The sum of five milliards of francs is equiv
alent 10 about $3.50, 100000
He closes with an improper use of the
word UNPARALLELED"
