Deliver Addresses in baltimore Be-
| fore Itfperants' Club, VI. f. Church.

Gen. George II. harrieS and Rev. Frank
NJ. Bristol both spoke at the annual meet
ing of the Itinerants' Club of the Baltimore
conference of the NJ. f. Church, in Balti-
more, yesterday. In his address on the
subject, MY Experiences in Cuba" Gen
Harries said, in part:
at is the theory of our government that
We are able to call out a million men into
splendid army at any time. In reality it
was very difficult to get 80 900 men into
an equipped and effective army last sum-
mer 1t took six months to make any i'm
preston upon them. Our volunteers were
not all of the highest type. Some of them
did not have anything to do but volunteer,
had never had anything more to do, and
didn't want anything more Those of this
class who survived returned to their old oc-
cupation with great fidelity when the war
was over. OF course, the food was short,
and much of it was not of good quality. l
went for two days once with only three
hardtack.
Gen. Harries was given a vote of thanks.
and his refusal to allow the canteen in his
regiment was cordially commended.

teenth and sixteenth centuries came from

augurated the greatest popular movement
for political liberty and religious freedom
the world has ever known. Unlike the peo-
Pile which had gone before them, they did
not elevate one purpose or one idea until it
oyershadowed all others. The Hebrew

the Grecian civilization on character the
Roman on power, the Egyptian on material
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, but the central idea of our
forefathers was composite, and it embraced
every good impulse. They introduced a new
philosophy into the political economy of the
world. It's result was the decline of tyr
amy and the rise of liberty. After Column
bus discovery of America, Spain, the rob-
Der nation, entered into a career of con-
quest and injustice which stands unparal-
leled in history. Liberty was dead and the
right of might the only recognized law. But
slowly and surely the influence of the
American eolonists began to be felt and
dreaded, and after the passing of years we
see Spain dying and helpless, with none to
mourn her, and America, the victorious rs-
ing above the small heights of other ma
tons standing supreme and alone, the
home of liberty and equality

those in charge of the building is whether
there will be many of these Interruptions

Only Sample.
1t is understood that this single item of

changes at the expense of the government
which will be necessary by the decision of
the board of engineers. Hence it is TO BE-
seen that there is, after all, some reason
able basis for thearequest that the report De

BILE for the drawing of faulty specifications

Inquiry at the post office building yester-
day adduced the answer that the steam was
shut down in order to make connection be-
tween the new elevator pumps and the ele-
vator which has hitherto been running
with temporary pumps, and it was learned
that certain elevator connections We're
made yesterday, but those familiar with
this reason for the shutdown cannot posi-
bly, be accurate, in view of the fact that
there are valves between the main steam
plant and the sites for the elevator pumps
and that there is, therefore, no necessity
whatever for shutting off the steam from
the entire building in order to make this
connection, and the connection could have
just as well been made any other day as
yesterday without interfering with the
boiler and engine plant at all.
II was also pointed out that the only con-
nections between the elevator pumps and
the elevator water pipes, and the
changing OF the water connections could
not possibly affect the steam plant in the
least

Success in Baltimore.

Gen. Lawrason Riggs Of Baltimore was
next introduced and spoke of the desire Of
Baltimore to cooperate with Washington
in establishing a junior republic a society
had already been Incorporated in Balti-
more. but only officers sufficient TO organize
had been chosen and there was plenty of
room and welcome for Washington people
Five thousand dollars had been raised in
Baltimore. and he was sure Washington
could easily do as well. The cities could
do together what neither perhaps could do
singly. place could be secured on one of
the two great railroads midway between
the two cities. Being SO near to the nation
al capital, the Junior republic would un-
dOubtedly enlist national interest.
Mr.. Daniel Murray, also of Baltimore
and d member of the executive committee
mittee had been charged with raising
funds. selecting a site and choosing a su-
perintendent. BaltimOreans had quite
speedily replied to requests for contribu-
tons. With the cooperation of Washing
ton the junior republic could be made a
success. 1t was only necessary to get a
strong force behind the movement With
money enough TO carry ii on for a year
start could be made. Five thousand dollars
from each city would be sufficient. 1t was
not the intention to begin on a large scale
but to start with, say, twenty boys, and Sc
lect them not from among the class of first
Offenders but from those whose tendencies
were in the direction of becoming first Of

can Security and Trust Company has con-
scented to act treasurer for the Washing

through the papers any subscriptions that
may be sent him.
Already several subscriptions have been
promised. and Miss Emma NJ. I.eech as
sGred the committee yesterday that the
Kings Daughters would aid the movement
TO TIE fullest extent. This organization had
already taken steps to start homo for
city waits, and the plan was to combine
this fund with the National Junior Repub-
lie fund. Miss Leech was added to the
committee.
Mrs. Somers the head OF the Mount Yer

library for the republic. The desire Is to
make the subscription popular as pos

Practical Method Of Preventing

THE MEETING HELD HERE

Substantial steps were taken yesterday
afternoon toward the contamination of the
project for the establishment by the people
of WASHINGTON and Baltimore of a junior
republic, where the wayward youths or
both cities may be trained to become
worthy citizens. A meeting, well attended
by those interested in the matter, was
held in St. Johns Parish Hall, on 10Th
street between H and l streets northwest
and temporary organization was erected
after an interesting interchange of views
had been INDUCED in. Rev. DR.. Alexander
Mackay-Smith called the gathering to or
der, and after inviting Mr.. Blair Lee TO
act as chairman made a few impressive
remarks He said the Rev. e. Laurence
Hunt who was familiar with the Junior
republic so successfully operated at Free
Vile n Y, would describe the remarkable
enterprise He was not familiar himself
with it. but from what he had heard OF II
he was convinced it was one OF the most
important movements of this generation.
The meeting in progress was intended as d
conference at which plans might be sug-
gested. While too busy himself TO give
active attention to the project he would
contribute to ii and lend ii all his lntiu-
ence. The reclamation of the young from
lawlessness was the crying need or uhe

Rev. E. Laurence Hunt.

At the conclusion of DR.. Mackay-Smith'S
remarks Mr. G. A. c. Christiancy was
made secretary, and Rev. f. Laurence
Hunt was introduced and gave most
graphic recital of the success attending the
junior republic, established by William K.
George at Freeville. After recOunting the
story of the Freeville farm, which was
given in yesterdays Star. Mr.. Hunt said
the secret in the success could be found in
the fact that the Junior Republic took the
romance out of crime. The same gang OF
hoodluTns in the city, whose members Wed
with each other in badness. when trans
ferred 10 the junior republic, showed, in
time, equal rivalry to be good.
There were Instructors, teachers and 9TH
ers at Free vile, but they exercised no con-
troll over the boys. This was left entirely
to the boys themselves. II one was impu-
dent to a teacher he was made the subject
of charges and tried by his fellows and
punished accordingly, II convicted Pauper-
ism was not permitted in the republic.
When first started there was table sup
piled for paupers. who were boys who re-
fused TO work, in the sam3 dining room
where the Industrious young citizens had
their meals. The latter sat at their meals,
and the former stood, and their fare was
very simple. The pauper table had now
been removed. owing to the passage of a
bill by the bOys' legislature to down." as
they called it. pauperism. The bill was
passed, signed by the president, and went
into effect in a single day, and when the
few pauperS left started to go into the din
ing room for supper that night they were
stopped by the police men-boys like them
selves-and informed:
