One Thousand Acres VIII Be Added.
New Woman's Building Under Way.
Atlanta, Aug. 13.-The Prison COM
mission has decided to add 1000 acres
to the State Prison Farm, making a
total of 1000 acres. The cost of the
land will be about 81 to IS an acre. OPP
tons on the land have already been
secured and the purchase will probably
be made early in the fall.
The commission sent five stone mas
ons to the prison farm to-day to be-
gin work on the new woman's building
to take the place of the one recently
destroyed by fire.
About a dozen stone masons have
been gathered up from the various con-
vict camps, and these will do the work
on the new building, which will be
built entirely of stone and concrete.
1t is expected to complete 1t by the
end of the year.

Southern Suffrage.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
am constant reader of your paper; am
pleased at the stand you take In regard to
the suffrage laws Of the southern states.
The attempt on the part of many to lessen
the schooling Of the colored race is simply
to prevent their voting in future. The New
York Sun states the truth in a concentrated
form: This movement is to eliminate the
republican vote. The few republican white
voters might as well give up voting when
the blacks are disfranchised. If we ever
have honest elections in the south the re-
form must begin and continue with the
white voters. This agitation sows the seeds
of discord; the blacks are troubled and the
most intelligent of them will leave and
many of the white republicans, who are
some cities or mines there is little business
as many advantages are lacking and to de-
stroy a mans political rights and leave
him alone in all matters that pertain to
citizenship will not retain or draw the bet
ter class of men.
The papers tell us that the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments neutraliZe each other
and that they do not protect the voter; also
that the right to vote is a social right, etc.
Now IL the intent of the voters of thirty
states and the framing Of those amend
ments by 300 or more statesmen Is of no
account what is the use of elections? Why
should we pay men to go to Washington
should we have laws that only make it
doubtful where we are at?"
Many of us hope (our only hope) that
these so-called laws are opposed to the
Constitution and that Congress would give
US our rights. APPOMATTOX.

THE NEAR SIDE.
Order Changing Street Car Rules at
Crossings Takes Effect.


Crossings Takes Effect.
Street cars in this city now stop before
crossing a street, in the event any one
wants to get aboard. Up to yesterday
morning those who desired to ride took
positions on what is known as the far
side of the crossings. Then the cars passed
over the street before stopping for pas
sengers. In other words, by order Of the
District Commissioners, the near side
stop has been substituted for the far side
stop, and this order went into effect yes
terday morning.
The public will require time to get used
to the change, but in the course of a few
days after the average citizen has seen
cars whiz past him as he stands on the
far side, he will begin to realize the
change that has been ordered by the Dis
trict enthusiastically as he will be
apt to learn more by signs Than by words
OF direction that the motorman cannot
stop until he gets to the next crossing.
A band of red paint has been placed on
each side of the railroad tracks at such
street crossings as by order of the Commis-
sioners the cars are required to be stopped,
whether or not there are passengers to get
on and off. This device is for the benefit
OF the motormen, who are thus informed
that the fire department must have the
right of way at that particular point, in
case it needs 1t.
Favorable action has been recommended
by the Engineer Commissioner of the Dis
tr1ct upon the request Of the Capital Trac-
tfon Company that it be permitted to stop
Its eastbound cars on the far side Of New
Jersey avenue and B street southeast. The
company fears that 1t would be dangerous
especially In wet and slippery weather, to
stop eastbound cars on the near side at this
point. The Engineer Commissioner takes
their view of the matter and 1t is believed
the companyS request will be granted.

Investigating Smallpox Case.

z. G. Wright justice of the peace Of Oxon
Hill. Prince Georges county. Md. assisted
by DR.. Simpson of the sane place. yester-
day undertook a thorough investigation Of
the circumstances surrounding the case of
Amos Miller. colored resident Of Oxon
Hill. who has been removed to the small
pox hospital in this city. Miller applied f. =
treatment at Freedmen's Hospital and was
subsequently conveyed to the smallpox hos
pital The people of Oxon Hill knew moth
ing of the matter It is stated. until 1t be-
came public through The Star of Saturday
evening. From the investigation 1t was
learned that Miller came from Oxon Hill
while suffering from the disease and ght
work at several places but without sue
cess. He then went to Congress Heights
and took the street car there, and so came
to the city. He was prevented from going
inside one of the cars. 1t is said because
1t was suspected he had the smallpox. Jus
tice Wright and Dr. Simpson have quaran-
tined the house of one Brown, colored at
OXon Hill, where Miller is said to have
stopped. A house-to-house canvass was
made for the purpose of finding out with
whom the sick man had come in contact
and places where the colored people assem-
BILE Sundays were visited. Justice Wright
came to the police station at Anacostia and
communicated his action to Clerk Ray for
the information Of the local authorities
All due precautions will continue to be
taken, he assured the police.

Tailoring Establishment Nearly De-
strOyed-Church Damaged.

The tailoring establishment Of William II.
Cranston, No. 11O7 G street northwest, was
badly damaged by fire early Saturday night.
1t is not known how the fire started, but
the flames had gained considerable head
way by the time the fire engines reached
the building. A street railway crossing po-
liceman turned in an alarm.
1t was estimated that loss to the amount
of about 81 600 was occasioned by the fire.
About $500 Of the amount was in damage

Damage amounting to nearly $500 was
caused in ST. Matthews German Lutheran
Church, on ID street northeast between 10th
and 18th streets, about 7:15 O'Clock last

before the congregation assembled for the
night service, and nobody was injured. The
fire is supposed to have resulted from a de-
fective gas fixture.
An alarm was sounded and the firemen
responded In order to stay the flames a
large amount of water was used, and the
building was rendered unfit for use last
night.
The fire started in the upper part of the
building, and because of this it was feared
the roof of che edifice would be destroyed.
The prompt work of the firemen saved the
repaired, it is believed. in time to have the
church in readiness for next Sundays ser
vice.
Fire was caused last night at No. 1104 e

was but a slight blaze which was eXtin-
guished before any damage was done.

were discovered by two clerks of the night
force who used the fire hose belonging to
the building. No. 1 chemical engine was
called and the firemen soon extfnguished
the flames. Several times while the fire.
men were at work they were interrupted
by the electric flashes resulting from the
crossing of the wires

at about $50. There was considerable
smoke in the building, but no particular

SIXTEEN HUNDRED PRESENT.
Large Attendance at Y. NJ. c.. A. Meet
ing Yesterday Afternoon.

lnB IeStcTUdy AItcEhOOHs
Yesterdays meeting for men at Colum-
bia Theater. under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian Association was
fully up to the standard of the previous
meetings in the twentieth century cam
paign, inaugurated six weeks ago. Six
teen hundred men were present and fully
two hundred of them stood throughout the
entire service. The meeting opened shortly
before o'clock with a song service un-
der the leadership of Mr.. Charles S. Clark,
assisted by the association orchestra. Sew
Ell al baritone solos were sung with splen-
did effect by DR.. b. Merrill Hopkinson of
Baltimore.
The Scriptures were read by the speaker
of the afternoon, Rev. John Timothy
Stone of Baltimore, and prayer was Of
fered by Rev. Donald e. Macleod, pastor
OF the First Presbyterian Church Of this
city As mark of respect for the late
ex-President Harrison the hymn, Nearer,
My God, to Thee" was sung by the great
audience of men. This hymn, it was said,
was one of the ex-President's favorites.
Mr.. Stones address was upon the topic,
"Christs Standard of Manhood" He
launched INTO his subject earnestly, and
after speaking several minutes, recalled
that he had not yet announced his text. He
forthwith read it from the first chapter of
James, the twenty-second verse-"Be ye
doers of the word and not hearers only,
decetving your own Selves"
Mr.. Stone said he had but single pur-
pose in coming to the meeting, and that
was to bring the message that God loved
every man there and desired his love and
service. "The religion of Christ Is the SIM
plest kind of religion. he said. 1T re-
quires Of each man and woman in the
world the enthusiasm which will give over
the whole life to His service
The speaker rapidly sketched the life of
the martyr Stephen and the great apostle,
Paul.
Paul" he said, was no coward. Paul
was no weaking. He could suffer perse-
cution and endure bondage in order that
he might preach the unsearchable riches
of the Lord Jesus Christ. He had faced
the great decision of his life and had
power to give his life to God and live it
God so needs men Of thought and leader
ship that SO few comparatively can be
found who will own his cause. Men need
to say, If l am anything for Christ, am
all for Christ Men are dying all around
They all want a God to die by-they need
to have God to live by II they would be
prepared to die. The chance is not alone
In mems circumstances or environment, 1t
is in the men themselves"
In concluding his address Mr.. Stone made
an earnest appeal to men to decide then
and there for Christ.
In the brief after service a number Of
men expressed their intention Of leading
the Christian life.
The speaker at the meeting next Sun
day afternoon will be Rev. Cornelius
Woelfkin Of Brooklyn, N. Y.
This evening the monthly members re-
ception of the Y. M. c. A. will be held at
the association building. J. Williams Macy
of New York will sing and give imperson-
ations.
