The foreman and members of No. En-

ment several weeks ago petitioned the
Commissioners to allow one man Of the
company his day off when two members
should be on sick leave, and they also ask
ed that they be permitted to play cards and

has immediate supervision Of the depart
ment has recommended to his associates
that the petition be denied. and that action,
it is understood. will be taken.
The chief engineer of the department,
Mr. Joseph Paris, also recommended de-
NAL Of the petition. stating that it has been
shown since it was received that 1t was no
hardship to the men to maintain the rule
requiring nine men to be in the house. since
the two men who were sick were only
away for q short time. If the circum-
stances had made the enforcement of the
rule a hardship, stated Mr. Paris. an ex-
ception might have been made without re-
quiring the Formally Of petition. Inas-
much as the house of the company has d
sitting room, he stated that 1t is not neces-
sary to ask permission to play cards In
the engine room, which would, he explain
ed. be contrary to all precedent. But in
any event he declared card playing in the
rooms containing the apparatus is entirely
out of the question.
This view of the whole question was
taken by Mr.. Mcfarland.

One of the most notable receptions ever
held in a colored church of this city took
place Thursday night at the Tenth Street
Baptist Church, corner 10th and r streets
northwest, Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, pastor.
The church was decorated with large
variety of vines. plants and flowers; two
large flags about thirty feet in length were
run on each side of the gallery in connec-
ton with a number of small flags, two Of
which came together just above the speak
ers' platform, with the words keep the
flag flying" Facing the congregation on
each side Of the pulpit were life-size pic
lures of President Mckinley and Vice
President-elect Theodore Roosevelt. The
exercises were opened with a selection by
the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church choir
and invocation was offered by Rev. DR..
F. I. A. Bennett.
The pastor introduced Rev. William v.
Tunnel, ABB, ID, president Of King
Hall, as the presiding officer. Dr. Tunnel
congratulated the church upon having so
able man as it's pastor and said that
the object of the clubs in holding the re-
ception and Mckinley dinner to celebrate
the great victory at the polls the 9th Of
November was a most commendable one.
After commenting briefly upon the results
of the election, he said he was not poll
tician. his business being to deal with scho-
lastic and theological questions. but there
was man present who had made polit-
ical science a study and was in every way
qualified to speak on the occasion. He
then introduced Representative George H.
White of North Carolina, who congratu-
lated the country, and especially his race,
upon the selection Of President William
Mckinley and Governor Theodore Roose-
velt and predicted that more attention
would be given to the condition Of the col
ored people In the south, who had been dis
franchised in certain states, than ever be-
fore. He was loudly applauded.
The other speakers were Rev. A. P.
Miller, DID,, pastor of Lincoln Memorial
