LABOR PREACHER HERE
REV. CHAS. STEELE OF PHILA-
DELPHIA TO SPEAK TOMORROW.

Rev Charles Stelzle, superintendent Of
the department of church and labor of the
Presbyterian Home mission board, will
be in this city tomorrow and will speak
upon his work at three meetings-at IL
o'clock in the Eastern Presbyterian church,
Capitol Hill; at o'clock in the Church of
the Covenant, N and Connecticut avenue,
and at O'Clock at the Sixth Presbyterian
Church. He will address the Central Labor
Union Monday. Laboring men with their
families are especially invited to these serv-
ices in the different churches.
A New Field.
The Rev. Charles Stezle has made for
himself and entered into an entirely new
field of Christian and church work. He
was educated as a mechanic, but after con-
version became a very earnest and devout
Christian. He found that the labor element
everywhere seemed to distruSt the churches
and keep aioof from them. He felt that
through some one who thoroughly under
stood the conditions and who had the conf
dence of the labor men great good might be
accomplished, and the churches, whose
founder was the Great Carpenter" could
be made the comfort and home of those
whose six days were those of toll.
He, therefore, without college education,
studied theology and began to preach. The
Presbyterian board of home missions very
soon appointed him one of their secre-
taries and superintendent of the department
of church and labor.
He is natural orator, and is said to
have met with great success.

Teaching the japanese Children.

From the HOusekeeper.
1t was in Japanese kindergarten that I
received my first vivid impressions of what
the training of japanese women means
Twenty thirty butterfly babies sat about
the kindergarten table studying silk
worms. The ugly gray worms were nib
bling industriously in their boxes of green
leaves, and the tiny tots were chattering
about them excitedly. The teacher i'm
posed upon them a hard task, moving the
silk worms into other boxes of fresh leaves
and in order that the stale leaves should
not be put in the fresh boxes 1t was neces-
sary for the children to remove the worms
individually and by the aid of their own
small hands.
The little students understood their order
and knew but to obey, but the worms We're
very ugly and Gravity, and the baby hands
were not eager for their task. Intently l
watched their faces. First they gaZed long
at the worms then puckerng their brows
determinedly prepared to lift them to the
other box. Slowly, slowly, slowly the tiny
thumb and forefinger would draw nearer
to the worms and then when almost touch
ing, within quarter of an inch, there was in
variably little shiver, the hand was quick
ly drawn back and the babies. looking at
their teacher, laughed. Oh, precious Jap
anese babies, have you any idea how many
generations of the relentless training of
your mothers were required to produce your
involuntary instinct of obedience and your
brave laughter at your own fright?
The Japanese teacher laughed, too but
from different cause, and finally gave her
pupils chopsticks wherewith to lift them
With the o hashi the removal was indeed
easy, and not only was the transference of
the worms quickly effected, but they were
made to assume different positions, the
straight ones being made to curve and the
curled ones to lie straight, to the hugo
entertainment of the children.

CONGESTION OF TRAFFIC.
Some Annoyance Experienced by
Street Car Patrons

while the cars in the morning come
down 14th street one after another in quick
succession, picking up passengers bound for
the departments and other places of en-
ployment," said a government clerk to
Star reporter 1.-The company might add to
advantage another car to follow closely
upon car No. III, which generally gets
down to the Treasury Department corner
at about five minutes before nine.
1.-The interval of the succeeding seems
to be unnecessarily long, and the car in
question, or the one which may be put on
in it's place, is often heavily crowded, as
most government clerks waste as little time
as possible riding to the office. and it seems

this particular car showed that ninety
seven ticket and cash fares had been rung
up, and l noted that on the way down to
the 18th street corner but very few alight-
ed while at the corner named there was a
hasty exit and a hurried run the part
of nearly all the passengers either for the
Treasury Department entrances, or the
transfer connections. closely following
car would have relieved this congestion,
and both cars would have arrived at the
the over-crowded car.
What ninety-seven passengers mean in
one car may the better be understood when
the normal seating capacity of the car is
considered, and the illustration might serve
as an incentive to the company to relieve
the congestion adverted to. These cars
have twelve separate side seats accom-
modating twenty-four sitting passengers.
With the four short parallel seats accom-
modating four passengers each, additional

cars as it takes two or three minutes to
effect the switching at this point, for not
only does the conductor shift the overhead
trolley pole on the top Of the car from west
to east but the switch on both tracks has
to be replaced. Here is another oppor-
tunity to see the passengers in the backed
up cars swinging off the platforms and

BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.-The silent
treatment" given "plebe' at West Point,
1t is stated in dispatches received here,
has resulted in a clash between the
''plebe" class and the commandant at the
military academy, Colonel Robert Lee
Howsee, which threatens to deplete the
supply of United States army officers
four years hence, for Colonel Howsee is
sued an order two days ago to the effect
that unless the cadet was relieved en-
tirely of the insolent treatment he would
dishonorably discharge the entire class.
A cadet, the son of q wealthy Chicago
man, is the young man around whom the
trouble centers. He is ''plebe" and 1t is
stated received the silent treatment
not only from his own class. but from
the cadets in the other classes because of
a complaint which he is alleged to have
made when he was mildly hazed by a
fellow classmate.
The cadets. it is understood, have de-
termined to remain firm in their attitude.
WASHINGTON, Sept. elf Colonel
Howes, commander of cadets at West
Point, threatened to dismiss the whole
class of cadets because the members
had sent one of their number to Cow
entry he overrated his authority, accord
ing to the officials of the war depart
ment, for the power of dismissal in
such cases is confined to the president
himself. The commandant could only
suspend the offending cadets and rec
