The Sunday School convention
was held at Meade Friday, Saturday
and Sunday of last week at the M.
E. church. We. are sorry to report
that it was not as well attended as it
should have been. We are inclined
to attribute the small attendance to
the fact that this is the busiest time
of the year among the country people
rather than the lack of interest in
the work. We hope the attendance
will be larger next year.

A WASHINGTON BOYS SUCCESS.
The Best Police Officer Manila Ever
Had.

Private Frank ]. Litz. OF Battery c.,
Sixth United States Cavalry stationed at
Manila. is an old Washington boy and is
at present detailed on police duty in Bin
ondo. In police work he has evidently
found his forte, for the Manila Times"
speaks highly of his efficiency The
Washington police department may re-
ceive valuable acquisition. for Litz has
expressed desire to become a member
Of the local force when he quits the for
eign service.
Litz has the record of making more i'm
portant arrests than any other policeman
in Manila. He discovered a plot to rob
the Government commissary some time
ago and broke into building where the
thieves were at work and captured two
of them single handed. Both were given
severe punishment. Through his efforts
several of the most dangerous bands Of
adrones that have infested the environs of
Manila since the outbreak of the Fill
Pine in3urrection were. broken up.
In letter to The Times Litz gives an
account OF the capture of band of con-
spirators of which the authorities had
got wind. party Of soldiers from the
Sixth surrounded the house in which it
was thought the plotters were concealed
Men with axes began to break down the
doors, and it took over an hour to eff
feet an entrance to the house. all the
doors and windows of which were heavily
barricaded. Finally the room in which
the insurgents had been meeting was
entered. Twenty-nire Filipinos were
found concealed in every conceivable
place. Some had crept into the walls be-
tween the rooms. Others were entirely
hurried In barrel filled with rice amnny
the captured were several officers who
had in their possession $4,000 in Mexican
money. All were lodged safely behind
prison bars.
Litz speaks OF the manner the Fourth of
July was celebrated in Manila and other
towns in Luzon. Wherever there were
Americans some scrt of celebration in
honor of the day was IN progress. Litz en-
listed in the Sixth early in 1899, and has
been in the Philippines since May OF that

for the presentation of a score of viva
cious maidens. Several clever comedians
attend to the merrymaking and the Stu

one of the best collections of really good
vaudeville turns offered by any travelling
organization. Among those worth seeing
are Bixley and Hughes. a clever sketch

acrobats: Campbell and Caulfield. who
have bunch of really new gags" Coul-

bright talk and gain applause; and Annie
Morris. who sings coon songs as they
should be sung. A feature which attracted
great attention was the Twelve Miynon-
cites in an electrical ballet which proved
something of novelty. The programme
