ned for the Winter.

The series of lectures, concerts and en-
tertainments under the title of the Ep-
worth League Star Course promises to be

The course is to open on November 5
with the famous MerdelssOhn Club Of New
York Two weeks later the Ariel Quartet

appear. Later in the season John Temple
Graves, 1.-The most eloquent southerner Of

tional Rifles Armory.
The course comprises twelve numbers,

Tickets for the entire course Of twelve
numbers are issued with the privilege Of

Audubon Society Reception.

1t has been found necessary to change the
date of the reception to be held by the Au-
dubon Society at the Washington Club to
Wednesday. November H. owing to serious
ly conflicting attractions November To-
the date originally selected. The reception,
which will be confined to members of the
society, is in charge of committee OF
ladies, of which Mrs. Wallace Radcliffe Is
chairman. An attractive musical program
will be one of the Incidental features of the
evening.
Applications are being received daily by
Mr.. Henry Oldys of the Department of Ag-
riculture for places on the steam launch
which has been chartered to carry the So
ciety to Great Falls next Saturday. The
autumnal colors are now at their best and
greatly enhance the wild and rugged
scenery of the river and canal, and the ex-
cursion offers an opportunity for observa-
tfon of many of the northern birds that
winter in this latitude
The party will necessarily be small. owing
to the limited capacity of the boat. This
fact. however will be distinct advantage
to those that go.

REQUIRES CONSTANT CARE.
Reports on Condition Of Anacostia
Bridge Railing.

The East Washington Heights Citizens
Association. through its secretary, d. {.
Fountain has written to the Commission
ers calling attention to the condition of the
railing on the Navy Yard bridge over the
Anacostia river. The railing, it Is stated.
is rusted through in many cases, and at
fords scarcely any protection to. persons
passing over the bridge daily along tEe
sidewalks. The association asks that steps
be taken as soon as possible to remedy the
condition existing.
Mr.. w. J. Douglas, engineer of bridges,
states that he has carefully Inspected tie
railing and that 1t is in safe cond ton, al
though it Is rapidly disintegrating, requlr-
ing constant repair and careful daily in
spection by the bridge keepers.
"If the funds permitted it,, reports Mr.
Douglas, II would recommend Its 1mme-
date replacement with wooden or iron
railing The balance in the construction
and repair of bridges fund for 1904 Is $3.50.
The estimated cost of an iron railing Is
s. 600 and of a wooden railing $l.OO0"
c. B. Hunt, inspector of highways, in for
wardng the papers to the Engineer Com
missioner invites attention to the indorse-
ment of Mr.. Douglas, and adds that in
the expectation of securing an appropriation
for the new bridge at 11th street 1t Is not
thought larger expenditure, than neces-
sary to preserve safe conditions is 1ust-
fed in regard to the railing. Its present
condition approximates what 1t has bsen
for a number of years past, and 1t is rec
commended that the writers be accordingly
advised"
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendations.

DRESS AND DISCOMFORT.

Not the least of the drawbacks of civil
ization is the character of clothing that
civilized convention requires the man per-
son to wear during the heated months.
Womankind usually dresses somewhat
more sensibly. but even she finds stays ano
like denominations a great burden in mid
summer. One never heard of savages suf-
get reports of country boys being similarly
affected.
Man, particularly if he be over thirty,
Is disposed to be ultra conservative in the
matter Of clothing. He likes to wear one
suit of clothing four or five months. and
then put on another and wear 1t similar
length of time, and so on. When the hot
months come he may make the concession
of leaving off his waistcoat, but that is
usually as far as he goes for street wear.
He will wear a somewhat lighter suit of
underwear in summer than In winter. but
this and the divested waistcoat are prac-
tically the only differentiation made in the
character of clothing that is expected to
serve for the chill months of spring and
the roasting days of midsummer. Stiff linen
collars. heavy linen cuffs, a coat and not
infrequently a stiff hat are clung to like
grim death for the most ordinary street
wear, while if the occasion be any sort of
function men are as likely as not to wear
heavy frock coats, waistcoats and whole
raft of unnecessary clothing.
When the "shirtwaist' fad came in
a few years ago it looked for a time as If
men might give UP the foolishness of coats
in midsummer, but the few that were bold
enough to leave them off were laughed at
and, whether it was the fear of ridicule or
the lack Of pockets that determined the
question, the uncomfortable fact remains
that custom very shortly returned to the
decree that no man must appear in public
without coat. And thus he goes on swell
tering and swearing at the weather.

A NOVEL WORTH READING.

James Lane Aliens new novel, "The Met
tie of the Pasture" is, like those that have
preceded it, study of life. psychological
history of group Of men and women.

1t for himself-and there is room for disa
greement. The most obvious lesson that
presents itself to the worldly -Einded-per

The revelations that are developing

news at all to anybody connected with the
printing trades either as workman or en-

that with the additional pull given by the
political nature of the institution the
unions Of the allied printing trades have
merely gone a little further there than they
have been able to go in private establish
ments, the only material difference being
that they have been able to shut the type

saving devices out of the government in

to bar from private plants, except in some
isolated instances where peculiar condi-
tons prevail. So we'll organized are the
