Consunlp nlption

The only kind of consump.
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a curable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is SO often incurablc.
AT the faintcst suspicion of
consumption get bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor Of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-

SOB d street northwest of the District ex-
ecutive committee and delegates-elect to the
annual convention of the civil liberty party,
which Is scheduled to meet in Robinsons
Theater, Cincinnati, Ohio, at noon, Monday
May % 1t was decided to give reception
to the delegates at an early date and a COM
mittee was named to fix the time and place.
The Supreme Court decision in the Ala
bama election case just handed down was
discussed. and the committee expressed the
opinion that the cultivation of q spirit of
mutual friendship between the races in this
country would do more to remove griev-
ances, either real or imaginary, than
contests in the courts, which only serve to
fan the flames of passion.
The following statement was agreed to:
I'VE condemn crime in all classes and
deplore lynchings, which often, in our opin-
ion, leave the criminal at large and result
in the death of the innocent, thus becoming
crime itself and defeating the ends of JUS
tice."

plans for the Wimsatt wharf at the foot of
9th street southwest, and has recommended
that the same be referred to the District
auditor for adjustment of the respective
claims to the proposed site. The plans on
file for the wharf construction are approved

pliance with the building regulations is con-
cerned. 1t remains however, to be decided
whether or not the site shown on a trac-
ing is to be leased in it's entirety to Mr.
Wimsatt.
Col John Biddle. the Engineer Commits

TALK TO YOUNG MEN.
| Religious Conditions in Philippines
Discussed by Mai. Halford.

At the Young Mems Christian Association
yesterday afternoon Major Elijah w. Hal
ford, formerly private secretary to the late
President Harrison, gave his first talk on
Religious Conditions in the Philippines"
Major Halford has just recently returned
from the islands, after serving there in the
army for two years. While in the Philip
pines he was superintendent OF one OF the
English Sunday schools in Manila and also
president of the Evangelical Union, formed
by the ministers in the islands.
In the beginning of his discourse Major
Halford said that in order to understand
the religious conditions of the Philippines
it was necessary to think of them in con-
nection with politics. For centuries there
had been a union of the church and state
a merger, as it were, In which the church
had completely swallowed up the state and
dominated the people. The priest and the
friar were representatives of the people In
every phase of government, and the people
regarded the church as the representative
of everything.
There was beginning of revolt against
religious domination, said the speaker, prior
to the capture of Manila by Dewey, and
when the Americans took possession of the
islands the natives were all the more ready
to accept the views of the Protestants.
The first Protestant movement, the speak
er said, for the invasion of the Philippines
was begun in 1898. under the leadership OF
the Presbyterian general assembly Their
denomination was speedily joined by the
Methodists and Baptists, and later by the
Episcopal Church and the Disciples of
Christ These churches began work in diff
ferent sections of the archipelago.
1.-THE splendid thing, remarked the
speaker, lis the excellent Christian feeling
that exists among the missionaries. They
have formed an Evangelical Union, and
they aim to spread the Christian doctrine,
regardless of creed. They prefer to have
ten million Christians rather than one mill
ion Methodists. Working in this spirit, they
have published pamphlet which gives the
aims and the plans of the union. They have
divided the islands into sections for mis-
sionary work These divisions of territory
do not overlap, and one missionary is not
supposed to trespass upon the borders OF
another"

BISHOP CONFIRMS CLASS.
Official Visitation to the Church Of the
Advent

The Right Rev Henry Y Satterlee, bishop
of Washington, made his annual visitation
last night to the Church of the Advent, of
which Rev. Edward Marshall is rector,
when he confirmed class of nine young
people as members of the church. The
usual form of confirmation service of the
Episcopal Church was followed during the
evening, and at the close of the service
Bishop Satterlee delivered sermon, in
which he spoke of the sanctity of the home
developing the theme along lines similar
to a recent discourse delivered by him at
Christ Church in Georgetown.
Bishop Satterlee said, in part: "All the
nations of the world which had not the
ideal of the purity of the home and the
strength of the family tie and family rela-
tionship have gone to pieces. The Roman
empire, colossal as 1T was became disrupt
ed by reason of the decadent life which
sprang up there. Divorce was followed by
corruption of the worst kind, and family
ties were broken. When the family was
destroyed Rome fell.
THE greatest danger and menace to our
civilization is like the danger of Rome.
Men and women now love self before any
thing else. They love self so much that
they forget, ignore and despise love of
family and of children. This unwholesome
collaboration leads to the destruction of
the social state.
There is too little attention paid to the
religious training of the boy and girl
During space of approximately five years
five hours a day for five days in the week
are devoted to secular education. About
an hour out of one day in the week is
given to religious training and teaching
In modern life religion is left out The
result is that the child becomes worldly be-
fore he is made to realize the significance
of his place in society. 1t is not the child S
fault, for in his home he sees none of the
spiritual life which should be his inherit
ance."

ANGLERS OUT IN FORCE.
More Than Three Thousand Person.
Try Their Luck on Potomac.

more IMAM Three InouSanQ PERSONS
Try Their Luck on Potomac.
The anglers took possession of the river
again yesterday, and the fish that was able
to make the trip between the Aqueduct
and Chain bridges without yielding to the
tempting bait was more than fortunate.
Five hundred boats were on the upper
Potomac during the day, with an average
of three fishermen in boat. The shores
were lined with anglers also, who had been
unable to get boats or who preferred fish
ing from the shore with rod and line. 1t is
estimated that more than 5000 persons
tried their luck for perch yesterday. Boats
were in as great demand as they were a
week ago, and mose If them were engaged
the day before. Small boys with cans of
worms were In evidence near the George
town end of the street car lines, and men
who sell live bait were also out in large
numbers. Thousands of fish were caught,
but most of them were small.
1t is the opinion of many that the big
perch have dropped back down the river,
and the lower part of the river will be
visited by an increased number of fisher
men during the next few days. Fishing
has been particularly good this season and
an unusually large number of big perch
have been caught.
