: of The Evening Star:

10 the Editor of The Evening Star:
The complaint of IN. w" in Wednesdays
Star recites very common experience with
the end seat hog on street cars The hog
conduct is certainly selfish and exasper-
ating, but there seems to be no legal rem
edy. The company could not lawfully make
a regulation requiring passengers to slip
up as another passenger attempts to get
on, as IN. W. expresses ii.
l propose this remedy: The obstructed
passenger should accidentally 90 tread on
the hogs feet as he climbs over him. 4
few such lessons in politeness would make
an impression on the hog which might
eventually reform him.
Now l wish to complain about a matter
which the railroad companies could easily
remedy. The companies could, and should
provide dry seats for their passengers. At
ter every storm, such as occurred yester-
day. the benches are so wet that the pas
sengers are compelled to stand crowded
together in great discomfort. Every ear
should have on board a cloth or large
sponge to be used by the conductor for
drying the benches after rain. The time
lost would be insignificant compared with
the advantage Of having dry seats. If nee
essary all the cars should be stopped on
the road for that purpose.

ECHO MEETING.
Christian EndeavOrers to Consider
the Detroit Convention.

A Detroit convention echo meeting will
be held by the District of Columbia Chris
tian Endeavor Union at the Luther Place
Memorial Church tomorrow evening at 8
O'Clock The District sent about 40 dele
gates to the convention, and at the meet
ing tomorrow night about twenty of these
will endeavor to impart to the stay-at-
homes some of the best things heard and
seen at Detroit.
The recent eighteenth annual Christian
Endeavor convention is pronounced by Sec
rotary Baer of the united society to be the
very best in the history of the movement.
The official registration was 2S,O00, and
while this fell little short of the figures
of one or two previous conventions, it is
said that in point of actual attendance at
the sessions and in the spirit shown at the
meetings the recent convention was dis
tnctly in advance of any former gathering.
After the usual devotional and business
features the program tomorrow evening
will consist of quite number of one-min-
ute talks, In which delegates who attended
the convention will endeavor to present as
near as possible in the words of the speak
ers themselves the best points in each of
the principal addresses of the convention.
Some of the special features will be briefly
described in four two-minute talks. as fol-
lows: Good Citizenship, Mr.. Paul E. Sic
man; The Juniors" Miss Estelle. Foster;
Bible Study Conferences Mr.. NJ. NJ.
Shand, and "Evangelistic and City Unions,'
Mr.. A. l.. Dietrich. Then will follow two
ten-mnute addresses dealing with two of
the most prominent themes of the conven-
ton, The Missionary Side of the Conven-
ton by Rev. j. G. Butler, D. D.. and
The Quiet Hour by Mr.. NJ. NJ Shand.
The music will be under the leadership of
Mr.. Percy S. Foster, who of the
musical directors at Detroit, and it is ex-
pected that the convention program music
will be used
This meeting will afford most excellent
opportunity for those who could not go to
Detroit to get a good impression of the
great convention and receive some of it's
enthusiasm and inspiration, and the officers
of the union hope for a large attendance
from Endeavorers generally throughout the
District.

THE COLLEGE ALUMNI.
Good Music Furnished on the First
Excursion,

1t was well-contented audience that lis
tened to the music of soft guitar and tink-
ing mandolin last evening at Marshall Hall,
harmony flooding the quiet evening and
hoat1ng out to meet and mingle with the
dancing of the moonlight on the water.
The occasion was the excursion and con-
cert of the College Alumni String and Glee
CLUBS, and should be the cause of congratu-
lations all around. The threatening wealth
er deferred many from making the trip,
but there was a comfortable boat load with
out crowding, and the concert on the boat.
both going and returning, was one of the
most enjoyable features of the occasion.
At Marshall Hall large stage had been
constructed on the dancing pavilion for the
performers The program of entertainment
was commenced without delay, and was
carried through with a smoothness and
finish which was most satisfactory, con-
sidering the difficult character of some of
the numbers. The club was introduced to
the audience by Col. E. B. Hay, in his usual
unctuous manner, who started things going
IN the proper spirit. The first number was
a medley from Sousa's "Bride-Elect,' which
was heartily encored, followed by a beau
tifuily rendered solo by Harry Helbig, the
boy soprano of Boston. Then the glee club,
under the direction of Theodore Friebus, jr..
sang with fine feeling and effect Gay
Hearts, by Macy, followed by Mr.. w. Fl.
Conley in comic song. Arthur Ernest
was next. and sang the serenade from The
Fortune Teller" with his usual finish. The
banjo club, under Mr.. Samuel ]. Espey.
scored heavily with "Whistling Rufus.
and Mr.. Melville Hensey's voice had ample
scope in a selected solo. The glee clubs
second number was the old favorite. The
MILL and was followed by Mr.. Charles
Meyers in THE Toreador Song" in which
his rich baritone voice was well displayed.
The wind-up was a medley of popular songs
arranged by Theodore Friebus and rendered
by the full strength of the clubs, vocal and
instrumental, and consisted of. solos and
concerted numbers skllfully and harmo-
niously blended. 1t was the most elaborate
number on the program and should be the
best of their repertoire when they get on
the road, for it is the intention of the
clubs to make tour of the coast sum
mer resorts, including Atlantic City and
Cape May and finishing with an engage
ment at the Casino Roof Garden in New
York. Their first appearance will be at
the Electric Park in Baltimore Mr. Ar
thur Yundt, to whose energy much of the
success of the enterprise is due, treated the
eXcurSonists to number of violin Seiec-
ticns from the bow of the boat on the home
trip, accompanied by the instrumental
clubs. and little knots of vocalists held i'm
promptu concerts in out-of-the-way cor
ners. ranging from duets to octets, but the
duets We're probably the most enjoyable TO
the performers.
