ored throughout Christendom for the good
they have accomplished, is doing today
daily in almost every city in the civil
lied world. But l am not making g plea
for the Salvation Army with their drums
and horns and often, degraded dittys but
for a family with marked piety and re-
fnement, whose music in the religious
services is lead by lady who will rank as
a musician with any musical professor in
this Capital City of the Nation. And yet
the president of the Central Union Mission
Board calls, through the public press, for
police interference with their work. Shame
upon such conduct. I have said nothing
in anger or ill-feeling. as the mission
folks are my friends, and I would seek
to defend them if they were being
wronged. But in this instance they are,
I believe, in the wrong, and are subject
ing themselves to the ugly suspicion of
using the police 10 further their own self
ish personal ends.
The Central Union Missions gospel
wagon work is practically over for the
year with the close of September. All of
which goes to show the hollowness Of the
complaint and that the hidden object Of
the mission apparently is TO get Mr.. Nor
gan away, with the hope Of thus improv-
ing the waning attendance at the mis-
sion"
Major Sylvester referred the letter OF
Mr.. Brown, which has been published to
Lieutenant Kelly, in charge OF the Sixth
precinct station, with the request that
he see that the religious meetings were
not disturbed. Lieutenant Kelly returned
the papers to Major Sylvester with an en-
dorsement, which contains TO a great ex-
tent, the views expressed by Mr.. Fletcher.
He states that he considers the only meth
cd of settling the controversy would be to
prohibit the holding of any kind OF meet
ings at Market Space, and if permits were
issued it should be done with restrictions.
Major Sylvester recommended to the
Commissioners that if the parties hold
ing services at this place could not do so
without coming into conflict with each
other, and making police interference nee
essary, they be denied the privileges they
enjoy and prohibited from holding further
meetings.

An Investigation by Engineer Hunt

and the Result.
The attention Of the Commissioners was
recently called TO the alleged dangerous
condition Of the sidewalk in front Of 1850
Connecticut Avenue last week through i
letter from John A. Clark, living az 1727
De Sales Street northwest Mr. Clark
states that he had occasion to go 10 q
store on Connecticut Avenue a short time
ago and he tripped and fell from the re-
suit Of a depression in the sidewalk. The
letter was referred to the computing en-
gineer for report
Engineer Hunt made a personal inspec-
tiOn of the place and stated TO the Com
missiOners in a report received Wednes-
day. that he did not regard the condition
of the sidewalk in the locality mentioned
as dangerous. He said the place referred
to by Mr.. Clark was caused by an abrupt
descent Of a few inches in the grade OF
a strip of cement paving adjacent TO the
/ building line OF a party wall II is entire
" within the parking, Mr.. Hunt states,
and in his opinion the only relief from the
present condition is to reconstruct the
| portion referred to as a step.
