DR.. NeWman's Theme.

''The Cry of the Children was the SUBJ
ject of a sermon by Rev. DIR. S. NJ. New
man at the First Congregational Church
last evening. The minister made this ia
nous poem teach a lesson in behalf of the
children of America, as well as the little
waits of England He emphasized the inn
portance of Fairgrounds in the larger cities
as being of moral, mental and physical
benefit to the young ones who use them
He said there is no stronger fact support
ing such Fairgrounds than that where such
public Fairgrounds existed there were but
half as many accidents to and but one
third as many arrests of children.
Surely this should induce the phlan-
thropically inclined to supply the much
needed funds to help on this important
work in Washington this summer" he said
The service was Illustrated by stereop-
ticon with many vivid realistic Photograph

work has been carried on by Sister Sarah
and her labors are aided by kind friends,
who know what excellent results are at

mates as it can hold.
Rev. Mr.. Dunlap read the report of Sister
Sarah, simple story of the years steady
progress. The Warder Home in Virginia

roam over the adjoining country. Now the
trolley road has brought changes, and the
little ones are confined to their own

Commander Miller, U. s. N, read his re-
port as treasurer. The orphanage used to
enjoy an annual appropriation from Con-

Afternoon.

The Audubon Society of the District of
Columbia held it's fourth spring field meet
ing saturday last. The woods and fields In
the (neighborhood of Berwyn, Nd. were
carefully explored with satisfactory results.
very strong wind prevailed all day, rem
dertjg observation difficult and tending In
measure to dispirit the numerous smaller
birds that would have been seen on a more
suspicious occasion.
The members of the society and their
friends were well pleased with the trip,
however, and congratulate themselves upon
the rare and excellent opportunity they
had to examine critically the Henslow spar
row in Its native haunts.
Shortly after leaving Berwyn the party
turned into an ill-defined path leading
through weedy and vine-covered field. and

But, true to its inherited intelligence. 1t
fitted but few feet and quickly sought
cover, where. in its mouse-like way, it
skulked amid the grass. So reluctant was

proach within three feet. Whether this was
entirely due to it's bewilderment. produced
by very nearly score of field glasses
turned upoi 1t, or by the nearness of its
nest is admitted to be matter of doubt.
A handsome male orchard oriole, not
common bird In this latitude, generously
presented himself shortly after the cars
were left. The record of the rarest bird
was made by a few of the members. who
separated from the rest for short excur-
sion into piece of woodland among the
hills. This was the summer tanager,
southern bird not often seen in this part
of the country. Here it is replaced by the
scarlet tanager, a fiery-red fellow, with
black wings and dignified department.
At Rerwyn the home of Professor BeaIe
was visited, where the party was invited
to see specimen of the snowy OWL
great. stately looking fellow, taken some
years ago in Dakota, mounted and pre-
served In a handsome glass case by the
professor. Here also was seen the nest, or,
at all events, the identical spot, in which
seven broods of phoebes have been reared
in the last two or three years. Some nests
were found, among the number that of the
beautiful little Maryland yellow-throat,
common enough bird, but one whose nest
is so carefully concealed that it is seldom
seen. In all, fifty species of birds were re-
corded.
Those present and participating in the
field meeting of the forenoon were: Mrs
