great that the company has but a few
hundred tons on hand.

hNTI-SALOON LEAGUES
FOURTH ANNIVERSARY
District Organizations to Commen-
crate Occasion Tonight.

The saloon must goI"-the acceptd
slogan of the Anti-Saloon League-wil
be the keynote of the tenth anniversar
celebration Of the District associatio
tonight. The event will be common
GRATED at Wesley Chapel, Fifth and
Streets northwest, and will be marked
with series of addresses. a special
musical program. and reception.
The celebration viii begin with an
organ prelude by Prof. Theodore 1.
King Five-minute talks by the repre-
sentative younger members of the league
will follow as a substitute for lengthy
address. The next order of exercises
will be a vocal selection by Elizabeth
Wahly, and the singing of the Recess
sional' by J. Walter Humphrey. At the
conclusion Of the program the recep-
ton will be held.
The committee in charge of the cele-
bration consists of A. n. Canfield, chair
man; owen =. Kellar, subcommittee on
speakers; Mrs. Isabel Helmick. subcom-
mittee on music; Charles S. Smith, and
Mrs. Mary V. Noerr. The guests will
include the pastors and members OF
CHURCHES, the OIuCeTS ana members OF
affiliated bodies, and those who take
an interest in the cause
The league was organized by men and
women who hoted the effects of the
liquor traffic and became aware of the
futility of any attempt of individual So
cieties TO cope with the evil attending
it. Previous to the establishment of
the District association many efforts had
been made to unite the temperance
forces, but all these had failed.
To succeed in so great an undertaking
those interested in the scheme realized
that the organization must be broad
enough and liberal enough to admit
afiliation on equal terms of all those
who opposed the liquor traffic. On this
gauge the Anti-Saloon League of the Dis
trict of Columbia was organized at the
New York Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church on June %, 1893.
The local association was then com
posed OF about twenty organizations. It
has grown gradually to its present pro-
portions and has spread into many
States of the Union, having a member
ship of many thousands.

house. A number of witnesses testified
that a crowd of "growler rushers'' and
sand letters" assembled at Wilson's
little one-story frame shack at Fifth and
and 1 Streets northeast every night and
made life miserable for the neighbors
by their LOUD and boisterous talking and
profanity
Several policemen testified that they
had warned Wilson, but he failed to
heed the warning. Wilson took the
stand in his own behalf and begged to
be let off, but Judge Scott did not think
it would be fair TO the neighbors to let
Wilson go home and repeat the disturb
ances. He therefore imposed a penalty
Of $50 fine or sixty days in Jail. Wilson
went down.
George Wilson. Mary Hurley. John
Mack and William Moore, who we're in
the shack last night when Marcellus was
arrested, were convicted OF being va
