The Washington district is composed of all traveling and local preachers, exhorters and district stewards within the district, together with one Sunday school superin tendent, one class leader and one president of an Epworth League chapter from each pastoral charge, a large number of whom were in attendance. The exercises began with devotional serv ices. followed by an Invocation by Rev. I. E. Nash. After the report of the pre siding elder was presented the sermon of the morning was preached by Rev. A. H. Tighlman, after which came the sacra ment of the Lord's supper. The program for the afternoon consisted of devotional exercises conducted by Rev. B. W. Brown and two addresses by Revs. T. H. Brooks and S H. Norwood. Rev. Brooks discussed "The Relation of Bap tizvd Children to the Church." The sub ject of Re*'. Norwood's remarks was "What Amusements are Helpful to Young Christians." The evening sermon was delivered by lie v. Nathan Ross, following which there were evangelistic services conducted by Revs. Moses l.ake and J. W. Jackson.

Board of Trade Meeting;?Republican Club Denounces Anarchists. SprcUl Correspondence of The Evening Star. HYATTSVIL.L.E, Md., September 13, 1901. The board of trade met Wednesday even ing, and after some discussion adopted a constitution and by-laws. A proposition to have an electric lighting plant estab lished. presented by Mr. Robert Wells, was favorably received and will be further con sidered. The Hyattsville Republican Club met Wednesday and adopted a resolution of fered by Mr. William B. Severe, reciting the attack upon President McKlnley. A resolution was adopted that the club tender their sincere sympathy to him and his sor rowing wife, and praying his life might be spared. In conclusion Senator McComas and Representative Mudd were asked to urge the enactment of such laws as will tend to restrict emigration, admitting only those to this country who will conform to our customs and usages; that a heavy pen alty be Imposed on all persoi.s connected with organizations of anarchistic tenden cies; that those guilty of disseminating In cendiary knowledge, whether orally or through writings, be proseouted for trea son and suffer death, and we would re quest all American organizations through out the United States to take such action as will tend to insure the speedy enactment of suitable laws that will overthrow the anarchistic element in our midst and make this in truth the land of freedom in every thing that is good and beneficial to our people, but not freedom to plot and kill, which seems to be the idea of liberty In the degenerate minds of Emma Goldman and I^eon Czolgosz. The attitude of Senator Wellington to ward the President In his Illness was se verely criticized, by members, and the question of his expulsion from the United States Senate was favorably discussed. England's Curious "Collin Chapel!** From the I?ndon Express. The Baptist chapel at Fressingfield, Suf folk, is probably one of the most curious places of worship to be found In England, Its design resembling the shape of a colIln. Its origin Is not the outcome of an acci dental freak on the part of the builder, the structure being expressly planned on these lines by a former pastor of the place, who desired that the chapel should be erected In the form of a coffin In order that the worshipers and public generally might be reminded of their latter end. That the wish of the designer has been fulfilled Is clearly evidenced by the name of "The Coffin Chapel" being applied to It. by which cognomen the building la known locally, and as auch attracts the attention of all strangers who visit the pleasapt Suffolk village In which It stands. The gruesome-looking building Is visited by hundreds of people every week and opin ions upon It are various. It can hardly be called a beautiful specimen of architecture. THE ISTHMIAN CANAL Minister Loomis at the Naval War College. TALES OR SOUTH AMERICAS AFFAIRS Necessity of the Great Waterway to This Country. UNITED STATES' DUTY A special dispatch to the New York Tri bune from Newport, R. I., dated yesterday, says: Francis B. Loorois lectured before the Naval War College class' thl? morning on South American affairs. The lecture was scheduled to have been delivered last Mon day morning, but on account of .the critical condition of President McKinley on Sun day it was decided by Captain French E. Chadwick, president of the War College, to postpone the lecture until this morning, trusting that the recovery of the Presi dent would be advanced to a point where it would not be necessary to Indefinitely post pone the lecture, on account of Its Import ance at the present time. Mr. Loomis was formerly minister to Venezuela, and.lt was in his term of office there that the asphalt troubles took place. He has given deep study to South American affairs, and his utterances on the subject at the present time are of importance. It has been the custom to invite distin guished persons to be present at the most important lectures at the War College, but today no one was present except the mem bers of the class. Minister Loomis spoke In substance as follows: It cannot be doubted by those familiar with conditions in certain Latin-American countries, in the tropical parts of South and Central America, that some of the most embarrassing questions which the United States will have to meet In the future will arise from its relations with those repub lics. These questions, of a difficult and del icate nature, will arise through no wish or fault of the government of the United States. We have no quarrel with any of our sister republics. We wish them well. Our generous spirit, our unfailing good tem per and good nature in respect to them has been demonstrated upon many occasions, and through a long term of years. We gave to the Latin-American republics vital ly important moral support in their strug gle for independence. We helped them to keep and to profit by the advantages they won; we sent the first diplomatic represen tative to them when they passed from the sway of Spain, and we have never ceased to express a kindly feeling for them and a helpful, considerate interest in them. The power of our example has moved many of the strong nations of the world to maintain a not unfriendly attitude toward the small Latin-American republics, and In this way our steady friendship has been of untold value to them. All this should stand to our credit In Latin America. We must al wavs be just In dealing with the Latin American people, but there is no reason why we should not, at the same time, be j-ist to ourselves and to the demands and responsibilities of our great future. We have a right to expect that every nation will develop a certain standard of responsibility and civilization. We may differ as to our standards, but there is a pretty clearly defined minimum of prog ress, power and civilization which we all agree must be attained by every govern ment and people which expect to remain a respected member of the family of nations. South America'* Turn to Come. The world has as yet made no demand upon the productive capacity of South and Central America. This vast portion of the western hemisphere has been reserved for the future. But in the strenuous rivalry for vaster commercial relations every available part of the earth's surface will be scanned and, one way or another, every land will have to respond to the world's demand. We have entered upon a new phase of national life. Does any one fancy our activities will be forever limited to present responsibilities? We cannot enter I upon a career of conquest, but we may properly seek with all of our earnestness and power the peaceful triumphs of amic able intercourse and reciprocal commercial relations. We cannot close our eyes or turn our backs to the opening vista of expand ing influence and opportunity. If our com mercial sway Is to be widened the bulld I Ing of an Isthmus canal is the first essen tial step In that direction, and It logically follows that control of the canal must be with us. The building of an Isthmus canal will be of enormous benefit In a material way to the Latin-American republics bor dering the Caribbean sea and those through which the proposed waterway may pass. The foreign trade of these countries will expand. They will have the advantages of closer and more frequent connection with our Pacific coast and with Europe. It Is reasonable to suppose that Immigra tion, of which they stand so much in need, will rapidly increase, and that there will be an influx of foreign capital. The com ing of foreign capital and foreign-born citizens of good character to countries torn by frequent revolutions is always fortu nate. The advent of industrious foreign ers make for peace and stable conditions. The president of a South American re public once told me that if he could get .->0.000 families from Europe or North America to settle In one of the rich valleys of his country near the capital their pres ence would put an end to disorder and rev olution and guarantee an era of profound peace. The ('nlted State* and the Canal. The consideration of the effects, present and remote, of the building of an isthmus canal upon the destiny of some of the Latin-American republics becomes, In fact, a discussion of the far-reaching results which the successful completion of this great project will have upon the future policy, power and growth of the Tjnlted States Itself. It seems, no doubt, to many students of these questions that the control of the Caribbean sea and Its littoral must inevitably fall to the United States, and be essential to its proper, facile dominion of the canal route; to the assurance-of its power actively to defend or support the principles of the Monroe doctrine and to give necessary protection to its possessions. I do not fancy the American people want more territory. I take it that there Is nothing we more earnestly desire, in re spect to the republics of the new world, than that they shall become prosperous, happy, progressive nations, blessed with the most highly intelligent. Just, liberal-minded and stable governments. The United States, it seems to me, no more covets the countries to the south of her than she does Turkey or the Balkan states. But what we want is that our neighbors in tropical Central and South America shall become prosper ous and possessed of the capacity to enter upon large reciprocal trade relations with U Every consideration of civilization and of self-interest prompts us to wish for this state of affairs. In the meantime we must recognize existing conditions in tropical Latin America. It is my opinion that the better class of Latin-Americans are dis posed to entertain a friendly feeling for the United States. They understand us better, and know that our purposes are pure. Un fortunately the intelligent class Is not everywhere a dominant political force. In some of these countries it Is forced into ob scurity and silence through fear of oppres sion and extortion. Governmental control Is too often In the hands of military ad venturers. who seek power and its use solely for their own advantage and profit, and who are as indifferent to international obligations as they are incapable of un derstanding or formulating a broad national or international policy. It Is with men of this sort that the gov ernment of the United States is sometimes called upon to deal, and In dealing with them it has always been borne In mind by the authorities at Washington that a bad ruler does not necessarily represent the best feeling and honest sentiment of his country. It seams to me, however, that one of the plain duties which the Immediate future will enforce upon the government of the United States will be that of insisting upon a higher degree of responsibility on the part of some of the republics In tropical Latin America. This will not be a pleasant duty, but it Is one that win have to be per formed. and. on the whole, perhaps the sooner it Is done the better will It be tor the world in general. tic PARKER, BRIDGET & CO. PARKER, BRIDGET & CO. > PARKER. BRIDGET & CO. ?Mhin ? New fall styles, that's the point of importance. Let us impress it upon you. Shall we say better styles than heretofore? That's for you to decide. But a greater number, a far greater variety, a much bigger stock than ever. School Suits, that's the thought uppermost just now in the minds of the boys and their elders. Let them begin the new school session with new clothes. It will brighten their little faces, cheer their little hearts, give them much confidence and make them feel as proud and as big as 'tis possible for one to feel. Now, as to the Parker Bridget stock of Boys' and Children's Suits. You know we are as particular in this department as in the men's. The best materials, the choicest patterns, the best workmanship and the fairest of prices must obtain. They always have, they do now and ever will. Low prices that are not backed up by style and quality have no charms for us. First consideration is the style and quality point?then comes the price feature. The combination is a strong one and must win out. An inspection of our line will readily reveal the fact that leadership centers here. Remember, newness, style, quality and economy are the elements associated in every offering?from the lowest priced to the highest. Special attention is directed to our line of Boys' School Suits at $3 98. We have exercised great care in selecting this line, having had the object in mind to match any $5.00 suit shown anywhere else, which they do. Double-breasted Jacket style: of all-wool fancy and checked cassimeres and cheviots in most desirable patternss, also plain blue and black all-wool cheviots. Pants have double seat and knees. For ages 7 to 17 years. The New Fall Styles in Menu's Shoe There's no reason to wear cheap, commonplace shoes, when fine and fine-looking sorts may be had at $2.50, $3.00 and $3.50. You should see our new fall lines at these prices. More styles and far more shoes than ever before. The very best makers are represented, makers who make it .a feature to study style and comfort regardless of price. All leathers at all prices. It's the $3.50 line that we'd distinctly call your atten tion to. Parker-Bridget $3.50 Shoes are famous. Very few at $5.00 better them?many at that price are not as good. Who wears $3.50 Shoes ? Everybody. It is the most popular priced shoe in the world. If your taste and purse incline high erward, very g06d, for we can meet you here also?but any man can be very much satisfied with our $3.50 line, because they always possess the best of materials, most perfect lasts, most expert shoemaking; the makers pay enough to afford the best of everything. Purchasers of Parker-Bridget Shoes will be our cham pions of loud praises, the same as the wearers of Parker-Brid get Clothing. The New Fall Styles In Meini's Hat Last season we gave you the best hats you ever bought for $2 and $3. We're doing the same this season. We're bettering our past best. Hats at both these prices contain fine fur felt and are finished in high class manner. Especially worthy are the $3.00 derbvs. They're known as flexible wine. In the mak ing the stock is manipulated with wine. Very few hats at any price are better. Of course, all the new blocks; the same in fedoras. Ask to see our "Imperial" $3.00 Hats. These Imperial Hats are so good because the makers co-operate practical suggestions from dealers with elegant and wise discrimination. The application of artistic and practical talent, together with the employment of the best of materials, brings forth hat results of extraordinary excellence. We are Washington's exclusive agents for the Imperial Hats. Our $5.00 Silk Hats are not bettered bv the best at $6.00. This hat store has an army of friends. That army will be greatly increased this fall?because at ev ery price we offer actual, intrinsic worth that overreaches par allel quotations. There is no class of merchandise in which the new styles are more eagerly and expectantly waited for than Men's Furnishings. Most men are as prim about their neckwear and shirts, etc., as women are about their dress. Our furnishing goods chief says his new goods do him proud. That his 50c. Neckwear, $1.00 Shirts, 25c. Hose and other popular-priced goods are better from a value standpoint than ever before. That the stocks are greater and the styles more varied. He also says that in the better qualities he shows the nobbiest and most tasteful styles to be seen hereabouts, goods whose equals are shown only by New York's exclusive high-toned haber dashers. And so our Men's Furnishings store bids for trade with a class of goods that will strengthen old friendships and attract new. Our word has weight, it is true?but it is the merchandise itself that we look to and which is capable of making the most convincing impression. Head=to=Foot Outfitters, ?S> Pa. Ave. and 9th St. DID "JIM" PARKFR DO ITf Artilleryman O'Brien Said to Have Knocked Ciolgou Down. A special to the New York Tribune from Buffalo last night says: James Parker, the colored waiter, who, according: to his own story, prevented Czolgosz. the assassin, from shooting the President the third time on Friday last in the Temple of Music, Is going to have 4 hard time to establish his claim to that distinction. In the episode of knocking Czolgosz down and overpower ing him the crediting of the service to the rightful person is no longer regarded as a trivial and unimportant incident. The members of the cabinet J*re taking a good deal of interest in looking over the evi dence which is to prove tor disprove Par ker's story. t Parker, It will be; ^remembered, asserts that he was just In front' of Czolgosz, and that Just as soon as 'the shots were flred he turned upon Czolgosz, hit him with his fist on the nose and.,bore,hlm to the floor. The mental picture of Parker, who is six feet six Inches tall, rescuing the President of the United 8tates from possible instant death was so dramatic ^when first told that it was easily befieved by hundreds of thousands of people^ It seems to be a question after all w*?ethe* Parker did all that his admirers say he"-'did, for the evi dence is piling up in theJofflce of District Attorney Penney thsk% th# credit for over powering Czolgosz belongs primarily to Private O'Brien, 73d Company, Coast Ar I tiiiery, one of the (TOzen or more guards I V16 Presidents on Friday afternoon. I O Brien s friends have come to the front v. w ? mass of corroborative evidence which la being most seriously considered by District Attorney Penney, Superintendent of Police Bull and George B. Cortelyou, secretary to the President. The evidence thus far collected tends to establish th? following general facts: That Private c*olgos* to the floor; that was wrested from him by rt a Chicago secret service drtectlv?; that Parker was fifteen feet from -w. when Csolgoss fired the Ki* C*olRoss's face was bruised by ivf li^8 ?f several persons. Parker among Tf*- James D. Wells, a Buffalo news ?!*?* ??n; who stood close to the Pres I-~Lan* J?hn MHburn last Friday af t,me Ot the shooting, is one whose statement concern nutnllf "5oot,n* has been requested by P'nney. Mr. Wells, when X a TrUmn? reporter, said: Brten was the man who floored Csol goss. 1 was looking right at him when he did it. He was the guard on Mr. Milburn's left, and Mr. Milburn was immediately at the President's left. I was to the right of the President and a little behind him. The line of people who pressed forward to shake the President's hand came from the south east side of the building and swung around a crescent toward the south'west side, the point of egress. Midway between the two sides stood the President and his party. I saw Parker pass the President after shak ing hands with him, and I remarked as I looked at the breadth of his shoulders and the back of his head, which towered far above other men. that I would like to have his physique. He was more than ten feet away from the President and going out of the building at that time. As soon as the shots were fired there was a general mix up. I saw O'Brien jump on Czolgosz, and then Detective Foster of the secret service struck at Czolgosz and also fell on him. I saw Parker suddenly wheel and rush to ward the bunch of men on top of Czolgosz. He was stopped by two guards. He may pcssibly have reached Czolgosz through that struggling mass* of arms and legs, but I do not see how he did it, for there were a dozen men trying to strike or kick the assassin. I tried myself. The guards cer tainly stopped him once." Secret Service Detective Foster said yes terday : "I think that O'Brien was the first man to get at Czolgosz, and I am equally con fident that I was the second I made a grab for Czolgosz's pistol hf.nd, but on ac count of so many people being in the mix up 1- could not reach it. I called to Gal lagher. who was bending over Czolgosz. 'Al, get his gun!' Gallagher grabbed the revolver and the handkerchief, which was partly wound about it. He still has the handkerchief. The gun was taken away from him by Parker and a corporal of the guards, who probably took Gallagher for the assasstn. Parker grabbed Gallagher by the throat and nearly choke 1 him to death, while the corporal wrenched the revolver away from him. This is the substance of the statement that I have turned in to District Attorney Penney." Parker meanwhile Is still receiving the plaudits of the people from all over the United States. His mall Is Increasing by jumps, and subscriptions have been start ed for him in Syracuse, Buffalo and other cities. A Buffalo newspaper, apparently satisfied that Parker's story la true, has started a subscription In hi* behalf, and a niece of Admiral Dewey Is one of the pa tronesses of the enterprise. Parker will be asked to forward to District Attorney Penney a circumstantial account of his part in the arrest of Czolgosz. A govern ment official who is almost constantly, at the Milbum house told a Tribune reporter tonight that Packer's story was being in vestigated, but that up to the present all the eyewitnesses' testimony that had been furnished to himself or to the district at torney tended to show that Parker merely joined in the melee and was not the first to lay hands on Czolgosz. TO COLOX1ES A>'D CIBA. Exports for the Seven Months Ending; July 31. Exports from the United States to Porto Rico and the Philippines continue to In crease rapidly. To Cuba they are decreas ing, notwithstanding the fact that the im ports from Cuba are rapidly increasing. Our domestic exports to Porto Rico in the seven months ending with July, 1901, were $4,399,326, against $3,107,248 in the corre sponding months of last year, an increase of 40 per cent. To the Philippines our do mestic exports in the seven months ending with July, 1901, were $2,023,137, against $1,592,030 in the corresponding months of 1900, an increase of over 25 per cent. To Cuba our domestic exports in the seven months ending with July, 1901, were $13, 821,751, against $14,870,910 in the same months of 1900, a decrease of 7 per cent. Our Imports from Cuba in the same pe riod of 1901 were $38,829,630, against $24. 767,654 in the corresponding months of last year, an increase In Imports of about 50 per cent. From Porto Rico our imports in the seven months ending with July. 1901, were $5,111, 903, against $3,084,018 in the corresponding period of 1900, an increase of 65 per cent. Regarding the commerce with Hawaii, no definite statistics from our own re ports can be had. owing to tile fact that the shippers refuse .to give information regarding their commerce with the Ha waiian Islands, which are now a customs district of the United States and therefore not subject to the law which requires statements of exports to and imports from foreign countries to be furnished to the bureau of statistics. The collector at Ha waii. however, reports the exports from the Hawaiian Islands to the United States in the seven months ending with July, 1991, at $19,526,447, indicating that the Im ports Into the United States from the Ha waiian Islands for the calendar year will be materially In exoess of former years, while the collector also estimated that the exports from the United States received into the Hawaiian Islands in the fiscal year just ended amount to about $20,000.-* 000, an increase of about 50 per cent over the preceding: year.
