history Of the association has been made
by Mr.. W. H. H. Smith from papers loan
ed by Mr.. William ]. Rhees. The records
of the association were destroyed IN the
fire which completed the destruction of
the New York avenue building several
years ago, and 1t was with difficulty That
this history has been compiled. According
to the data at hand there were sixty per-
sons at the Masonic Hall in response to
the notice for a meeting published in the
National InteIligencer by Messrs. Rhees,
Duncan and Langdon. The building Wn1ch
inclosed this hall is still standing at the
corner of 10th and E streets northwest.
The meeting was held in the room occu-
pied by the Central Academy of Rev.
James Nourse. Judge T. J.<Johnston was
elected chairman and w. c. Langdon Sec
rotary of the meeting. Rev. James Nourse
made the opening prayer. Then followed
the presentation and discussion of the plans
for the proposed association, and very
hearty interest was aroused. A committee
was appointed to prepare constitution
and bylaws, and some thirty-1ve or forty
persons came forward and enrolled as men,
bers, the number being increased to ninety
two members within week or so there
after. The churches represented at this
meeting were the E Street and First Bap-
fist; Trinity, Ascension and Grace Episco-
pal; McKendree Methodist, First Metho-
dist Protestant; Methodist Episcopal South,
and the First. Second, Fourth and F Street
Presbyterian. At an adjourned meeting
held June % in the same place the const-
tuition and bylaws were adopted, after
some discussion, especially over the word
evangelical' in the clause defining active
membership. but this word was retained.
The First Twelve Members.
The first twelve members who set their
names to this constitution named in the
order of their signing, were Thomas Dun
can, W. c. Langdon, John c. Whitweil, j.
T. Cochran, A. G. Carothers, Zalmon Rich
ards. Thomas Brooks, A. H. Lawrence,
William ]. Rhees c. W. Schreiner A. B.
johnson and William Flye. No reliable
record of the remaining original members
can now be found.
At an adjourned meeting held July A.
Fl. Lawrence was elected president; w. J.
Rhees, recording secretary: W. c. Lang
don, corresponding secretary, and NJ. H.

pouring into the city in large amounts.
1--WE distributed vast number of tracts,
ETC., to the soldiers during the first few
months. and we had vast quantity Of sup
plies which were necessary. For a time we
had quarters on 7th street near the corner
Of street. We rapidly outgrew these
rooms. however, and moved down on Penn
sylvania avenue, where we secured rooms
over Parker's grocery store, between 9Th
and 7th streets We worked here in COM
fort for time. but Mr.. Parker objected to
the use to which we were putting his rooms
and we were compelled to seek other quar-
tiers. We then constructed a building on
Sth and II streets large enough to ho.d our
supplies. The work we performed in those
days was very different from that now be-
ing done by the association. Our duties
were confined entirely to looking out for
soldiers at least, the duties we performed
during the war. While none of us Joined
the army we were with the troops at all
times There were thousands of soldiers in;
Washington and in its vicinity. The Army
Of the Potomac was in reaching distance al
most all the time. and our agents were at
work there. We were on the battIefields

battlefield at work among the soldiers, ana

A. PERSONAL REVIEW.
History Of the Association as Told by
It's Makers.

During the half century Of its existence
the Y. M. c. A. has had a most varied
career. 1t has participated in many public
demonstrations and has seen many changes
of administration. Each man who directed
the energies of the association was select
ed at the time. and for the place, because
of his peculiar fitness for the work that
was just then at hand.
It is to be expected. therefore. that these
men should know. better than any others,
better even than many of their associates,
just what they did and how they did 1t.
Beginning from the time of the organiza-
ton of the association down, to the present
time, history has rung many changes Of
scene and casts Of characters. In the fol-
lowing symposium win be found the per-
sonal stories. of a dozen or more Of those
who builded the association, from the man
who first evolved the idea to those who
have assisted materially in bringing to the
Organization the success It now enjoys.

DID

you ever in all your life see such fine. orderly set of men as those trol- ley fellows who are out on strike! Say, they are credit to the city, to themselves and to the company which discharged them for not reporting for duty when commanded to do so. Well, there's always two sides to all such misunderstanding, and we think tue present trolley strike is no exception to the rule. Of course, the head "su- per- thinks there is only his side to the question. therefore there's no need of arbitration; but he'll ind out different before the present trouble IS over; he'll also find out that none or the officials will get round-shou dered counting the nickels and dimes and. in all probability, he'll find out II the men known as ''scabs" are worth what he's paying them, the old rel1-- ables are worth at least S2.25 per day. A lady purchaser at our store when questioned if she had come on the trolley answered. r"NO, and haven't only one coat to my name, but 1T l was presented with $100 soaiskln wouldn't ride until the strike is set tled.'' Such are the remarks you hear on ali sides. Remember. 1t takes cool head to go through such a tan, talking situation and we say to all parties concerned if they will drink nothing but good Tea and CoHee they'll find everything will come out as it should (for the best). If they m, tend taking our advice, they snould begin with the quality we sell.
