HOME MISSION ITEMS.
ASSOCIATE SECRETARY.

The general conference held in
Birmingham enlarged the execu-
tive force of the Woman's Home
Missionary Society by creating
the office of associate secretary,
Miss Mabel Head, of LAGRANGE,
Ca, was elected to this office and
in fall will make Nashville, Tenn. :,
her headquarters. At present she
is attending the summer school
of philanthropy, in New York,
where she will come in touch with
every phase Of charity, and by a
study Of their methods will be
better prepared in her work.
SUMMER SCHOOLS.
At Key West, Fla, the Ruth
Hargrove Seminary has not closed
every department.. While the fac
ulty take their much needed rest,
Miss Daniel will teach class of
sixty. The new cottage built for
the kindergarten and primary
grades is thing of beauty, al
though simple ard without unnec-
essary finish, cost 81 800, the cost
of material is 80 high in Key
West. The estimate of the cost
of the new building, so much
needed, is $4,000. This would
furnish large chapel for prayers
and al public entertainments,
ard the upper story could be used
for dormitory purposes. How
ever there is not one cent in the
treasury; who would like to make
it possible by a generous dona-
ton?
The actual cost of maintaining
our fifteen schools the past fiscal
year was $26,781.15. The income
from fees being $8,836.75.
The Italian day school at Tam
pa, Fla, has not closed for va
cation this year. The principal,
Rev. Mr.. Ghedoni, felt 1t impera-
tive to continue. Miss Jennie
Smith will become one of it's
teachers.

RECEIVING CONSIDERATION.
Opposition to Use of Automobile
Search Lights

Commissioner West has been recently in
receipt of considerable correspondence re-
lating to the use of so-called ''searchlights
on automobiles. There has been some
complaint against the use of such lights
within the city limits. but the principal OBJ
lection Is raised against what are known
as swivel lights. which can be turned in
any direction.
The question OF searchlights on automo-
biles has received consideration in other
municipalities, but Commissioner West has
not been able to find that fixed searchlights
have been anywhere discontinued. 1t is
said, however, that in Philadelphia the
swivel, or movable, searchlight has been
banished and 1t Is probable that q regula-
ton will be framed here which will discon-
tinue their use. Strong pressure has been
brought to bear upon the Commissioners
for the framing of regulation which will
compel all vehicles at night to carry lights.
Such was attempted several years ago be-
fore automobiles became numerous but was
abandoned on account of the opposition
manifested. Conditions have materially
changed since that time, however No def
mite action has been taken by the Commits
sioners on these propositions. but the ques-
ton is one that is being given serious con-
sideration.

There was a well-attended meeting of

Congress at the committee headquarters
last evening, presided over by DR.. o. ]. W.

utes of Mondays meeting, which were ap-
proved.
DR.. Scott called attention to the fact that
the day of the congress is not far distant
He urged the members to get down to busi-
ness. Rev. Mr.. Kicks then reporter that
the organization of the ushers was about
complete, and that 300 badges would be
purchased for the use of the ushers during

made, showing total Of s175.64 collected.
1t was decided to arrange an excursion
down the river on the Saturday during the
session for the benefit of the visitors to the

CLEANING UP THE CITY
OFFICIAL ORDER ISSUED BY
COMMISSIONER WEST.
Public Urged to Commence Work at
Once-House-to-Hou
Police Canvass.

While next Wednesday has been set apart
by the District authorities the last day
of grace in the campaign of cleaning up
back yards, cellars, vacant lots and other
places where insanitary conditions may eX-
ist, 1t Is being earnestly urged that the
populace generally cooperate to the fullest
extent by getting to work at once. If every
one should wait until the last day. 1t is
pointed out, much congestion would ensue.
but II residents and property owners can
be induced to waste none otthe interveu-
ing time the authorities are convinced that
July 25, instead of being the last day, will
be the date marking the beginning of great
ly improved municipal sanitary conditions.
One of the strongest arguments for an
immediate beginning by the public of its
part of the task is that the number Of
wagons that can be made available by the
street cleaning department is limited-n
fact, Superintendent Twohey OF that de-
partment has stated that he can assign only
twelve teams and their drivers to the SPECIAL
service, and 1t will be impossible for that
number of wagons to cover the entire city
In one or even two or three days. As stated
in The Star yesterday, the authorities will
ask that. wherever possible, the disposal of
yard sweepings and all waste material be
made without calling upon the street clean
ing department. In some cases, of course,
the material collected will ke of such ma
refuse and can be placed In the receptacies
to be emptied into the wagons of the con-
tractor who handles the city's refuse.
Heavy Portion of Work.
In preparing for the heavy portion of the
work which will fall upon his department
Superintendent TwOhey Is issuing instruc
tions that property owners and residents
notify him as soon as they have done their
share Of the municipal house cleaning. and
inspectors will be sent to each house to
determine what disposition shall be made
of the waste. In majority of cases the
city wagons will be pressed into service.
An official order setting apart July Is as
the last day for civic cleaning up was is
sued by Commissioner West this morning.
and detailed instructions will later be issued
to the police. to the health department and
the street cleaning department concerning
their respective shares in the crusade. To
the police. of course will be delegated the
task of making a house-to-house canvass
and the issuing of orders for cleaning up
wherever they find 1t necessary. Suisse
quently they will make another inspection,
probably July 26 and q. and after that all
those who fail to do their part toward inn
proyement In the sanitary conditions will
be taken into the Police Court and prose-
cuted.

FIRE AT KENSINGTON.
Residence of Mr.. Warren McLaine
Completely Destroyed.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
KENSINGTON, Md. July %, 1906.
Fire totally destroyed the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Warren McLaine, which occu-
pied a commanding location at the corner
of Metropolitan avenue and Bladensburg
road. Flames were discovered yesterday
afternoon at 5:45 o'clock An oil cook
stove. 1t is said. was responsible. Mrs. Nc
Lame was alarmed when she noted that
the house was filling with smoke. She
fastened downstairs and found that the
kitchen was in flames. An alarm was given
by neighbors. and the cali was sounded
from st. Pauls Church belfry All Ken
sington and residents from the nearby
country responded, but 1t was realized
that the house could not be saved Ac-
cordingly the men directed their efforts to
saving furniture. Piece after piece was
handed out on the lawn and carried to
neighbours house. In a short time. however,
the flames had gained such Roadway that
1t was impossible to enter the house. Con-
siderable furniture and personal property
were destroyed with the house. The house
recently purchased by Mr.. Nc
Lame from Mr.. Thomas r. Martin. who
for many years occupied it. The recent
occupants who were married here June
q. 1906 had resided in the house only ten
days. Mr.. McLaine. who is an employee of
the Navy Department, did not arrive in
Kensngton until the fire was we'll under
way.

WORK ON aUNNIsoN TUNNEL.
The Task Regarded as a Difficult
Piece Of Engineering.

Work on the Gunnison tunnel. which Is
being driven in Colorado for the reclamation
service, has disclosed some geological facts
that were never contemplated in the origi-
nal planning of the tunnel, although they
are of interest to the psychologists of the
Geological Survey. The tunnel is the long
est of the several tunnels that have been
driven in connection with the big irrigation
projects of the west. The Gunnison is over
a mile and a third long and is difficult
piece of engineering work, passing In places
through a black shale that is very treach-
erous to work in and necessitated the roof
ing of the tunnel with every foot of ad-
vance. Part of the work has disclosed
formation that undoubtedly was formerly
an arm of the sea. There are marine shells
of all sorts imbedded in it and some of them
of gigantic size. Many of the shells
are three feet across and their presence
in masses in the shale makes 1t all the
more dangerous to work IN. The worst work
in the tunnel is now finished, and there is
altogether less than third of mile TO do.
The men have tried to make a time record
en- it and have come pretty near succeeding.
It is thought that when the tunnel Is fin
ished it will prove TO be not only the best.
but one of the quickest pieces of work of its
sort In the world.
