Notwithstanding the radical changes in Its custom and in the customs of its in dividual . members of entertaining the woman relatives and friends of members on Sunday, which are made necessary by the new excise law that goes into effect in the District July 1, the subject from a club standpoint was ignored at the semi annual meeting of the Arion Gesang Verein, one of the leading German sing ing societies of the District, last even ing. Individual members Voiced their opinion in a number of instances, but the society itself concluded to ignore the sub ject for the present at least, although it is not improbable the matter will be taken up later by the United German So cieties of the District, it was said, and by them with the national organization. The custom of spending an evening of pleasure with their families on Sunday, the one day of the week when the ces sation of business makes it possible, it is explained is one that was brought by the Germans from their'fatherland, and k has heretofore been one of the- special features of their American club life. "To ^p.ve it suppressed by fanatics who know nothing of it and who seem to limply take a pride in forcing their own belief upon others" said Vice President Wil liam Wlegmann, "does not gibe well with the boast that America is a land of en lightened liberty." Reports were received and acted upon from the various officers and committees of the society and tentative arrangements were made for an excursion to Chesa peake Beach at a time to be set here after. Plans for the celebration of the twenty-eighth anniversary of the society Wednesday evening were announced. They include a musical and literary en tertainment, a banquet and a dance at the E street clubhouse. The recent masquerade ball is reported to have been a splendid financial success.

HANK THOUGHT IT WAS A CINCH TO WIN THAT BET. By Farren PART OFGREAT BUM Secretary of State Bryan and J. A. MacDonald Address Y. M. C. A. Meeting. Introduced by William Jennings Bryan ?in his first public appearance since he be came Secretary of State, and with Jose phus Daniels, the new Secretary of the Navy, occupying a seat on the platform. J. A. MacDonald, editor of a Toronto, Canada, newspaper, addressed a meeting under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., at the National Theater yesterday afternoon, in which the latter criticized those who desire a political union between Canada and the United States. In his introductory remarks Mr. Bryan said, in part: .".Emerson wrote an essay on compensa tion which made a deep impression upon me when I read It and has often comc into my memory since. Every position that one occupies, whether in private or in public life, has its responsibilities and its pleasures, and I suppose that this rep resents the most pleasant part of the po sition with whlfch I am connected. Semi-Official Appearance. "I am a connecting link between the President and the outside world, and as such I suppose it is not unfitting that I should appear upon such an occasion as this. This might be called a semi-official appearance and my first in public. The speaker on this occasion is a citizen of another land. That makes it appropriate that he should be welcomed to this plat form in the nation's capital by one who represents the government in Its foreign relations. "If It were proper for me to say so I might tell you that he stands in Canada as Gladstone for so many years stood in Great Britain, the representative of Chris tianity applied to government. The fact that he comes from a country so close to us gives me an added enjoyment. He comes as a representative of a country, a neighbor with whom we have been at peace for now almost an hundred years. Laurler, the great premier of that coun try for so many years, expressed a beau tiful sentiment: * Advances "Nobler Ideal." "I cannot use his exact language, but X shall not forget the thought that his language expressed. When some one in his country expressed a fear that closer commercial relations might suggest na tional unity he answered that there was even a nobler ideal than a country con tinent wide in extent. It was two coun tries with but an imaginary line between and yet living as friends side by side, with no rivalry except in good will. We are soon "to celebrate this century of peace and I am sure that our good friend will enter most heartily into that celebration and I can pledge him the earnest co operation of the United States in em phasizing this delightful occasion when it cornea "There is another reason why I am glad to make this my tlrst appearance since the acceptance of the portfolio of state. It is because this is a religious occasion. As I know of no foundation upon which a moral code can be built except religion? 1 religion, as defined by Tolstoy, as the relation that man ilxes between himself and his God?so I know of no foundation upon which remaining international peace can be built except that spirit of brother hood which the Founder of our religion taught us." Mr. MacDonald'b Address. "The words which Mr. Bryan has spoken." Mr. MacDonald said, "are con- j slstent with a campaign which resulted in the election of a new administration, and the spirit not confined to any one leader or to any one party. Speaking from without. I say that not in my day have I seen so hopeful a movement in this republic. "So long as the Dominion of Canada' remains an Integral and growingly in fluential part of the empire of Great Britain, so long will it be a bond between you and the mother country. "Two years or more ago the then Sec retary of State, Mr. Knox, said to me: 'Instead of our desiring a political union of these two lands it Is to our advan tage that Canada should stay out of the republic and should stay in the empire ' I, asked him why, and this was his an swer: 'The power of America today is I the power of the United States and the i power of Canada, plus the power of Brit- 1 ain. Should Canada separate from the! empire and become either independent or a state in this republic there will be no i plua' The more seriously you reflect upon your own situation and the more seriously your new Secretary of Stat* will reflect upon his obligation the mort will you and will we be thankful that that plus Britain means for us Cana dians and for you. too, not only safe guarding on the Pacific and safeguard ing on the Atlantic, but the union of the whole English-speaking people and their responsibility to all the world."

Ala., the young col ored man who is alleged to have drawn a revolver on Detective Forteney when he was placed under arrest Saturday, will be turned over to a detective from Selma tonight In a cell at the police sta tion Saturday night the prisoner denied his identity and claimed he was Hardy Cary, a New York cotton broker, but yesterday he sent for Detective Forteney, admitted his identity and told the story of the alleged bank shortage. Hunter told the detective that he had been employed as janitor of a penny sav ings bank in Selma, and that later he was promoted to paying teller. Ten days ago, he stated, one of the officials of the bank told him there was a shortage of about $4,500 in the accounts of the bank and that it would be for him to ex plain. The prisoner said he told the official t-hat he knew nothing of the shortage, but the official, he declared, advised him to leave. "I took his advice," said Hunter, "and also took $2,500 of the bank's money. I had $1,006 in the bank, and my father's account was $1,500. and I took money enough to cover the two accounts." Hunter produced two bank books, show ing deposits aggregating $2,450. He had deposited $2,300 in the Metropolitan Trust Company's bank in New York and $150 in the National Bank of Washington. He explained that he went from Selma to New York, and came here to witness the inaugural ceremonies. Thro oarh Tralan to CiwtonU sad St- Louis?Baltimore & ?h'? R R.

Precipitation dur ing the week will be generally light and local, and it is not probable that any general storm Mill cross the country dur ing the week." Unofficial Prophets Coincide. Unofficial gather prophets, basing their prediction on the appearance of the new moon, the behavior of the birds and other familiar weather signals, say about the same thing. Mocking birds, cardinals, bluebirds, grackles, meadow larks, sev eral varieties of song sparrows artd other migratory birds have made their appear ance in this region, and in the case of many of these species nest building has already been started. Weather prophets of the countryside say this means that winter is over and that although there will undoubtedly be short spells of bad weather, no mort really severe conditions are to be antici pated.

The low-browed gent who sells the suds will call you "Cap" or "Judge," while you have bul lion in your duds to buy his baneful budge. And all the mirthful hangers-on will cheer your wit and sense, while merrily the demijohn goes round at your expense. They'll greet *with wide ecstatic grin the stalest of your jokes, while you have cash to buy the gin or fix the crowd with smokes. But when your little roll is lost, and you all busted are, there falls a chill antarctic frost about the shining bar. And when you fix your thirsty gaze upon the bottled shelf, the gent who smirked in other days, growls fiercely, "Chase yourself!" The loafers eye you with dis dain, who once said you were It, and grumble that you cause them pain, when you'd display your wit. The days when you showed up so strong no one can now recall; and if you hang around too long they'll push you through the wall. Good fellows go the same old gait, the gay, high-rolling chumps; and they will meet the same old fate, and bump the same old bumps.

BRIDE MENTIONED FOR DISTRICT MARSHAL Friends in Congress and Elsewhere Reported Behind Candidacy for Local Office. Humors connecting the name of Cotter T. Bride with the position of United States marshal for the District of Colum bia are tout the forerunners of a strong movement which is to be made In his behalf by a combination of his friends in Congress and elsewhere, according to one of his friends. Aside from the fact that Mr. Bride is known to be a warm per sonal friend of Secretary of State Bryan, it is explained there Is a large number of men in both houses of Congress who have arranged to go to the front for him. Gov. William Sulser of New York, with a number of others prominent in the politics of that state, it Lb said, heads a number of influential men out of Con gress who regard Mr. Bride highly for what he has done himself for his party and the part he has taken in some public movements. Mr. Bride, it is claimed, has always been a loyal democrat. While he is friendly with all the local democrats, it is said, and can have their support if he desires it, yet he has kept aloof from factional differences, while contributing to the general welfare of the party when ever it was necessary. Mr. Bride today would not deny that he was a candidate for the position of United States marshal. When asked if he were a candidate, he said: "Some very good friends of mine have suggested the matter to me, and I am considering it. 1 feel certain if they decide to press mt for the position their names and influence in the party command sufficient weight to insure me a respectful hearing at the hands of the President. But at this time I feel it would become me better to be modest in speech." PLEA FOB MISSION SCHOOL. Miss Ellen M. Stone Presents Claim of the Alabamians. Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American mis sionary who was captured by Macedonian brigands several years ago and held until a ransom of $60,000 was paid by her I American friends for her release, spoke in the interest of a mission school in Albania last night at the Fourth Presby terian Church. MIbs Stone said an attempt would be made to have Congress pass a law re quiring the Turkish government to re fund the $60,000 ransom paid by her friends, as she declared that the Turkish government was responsible for her cap ture. She said that the Turk must be driven not only out of Adrianople but out of Constantinople before there will be final peace in the Balkan states. EVOLUTION OF SELF.

Her subjects were 'The Lost Word" and "The Story of the Other Wise Man*" Local Dealers Blame Western Storms for Predicted Advance Here. The snowstorms and blizzards that have prevailed in many parts of the west the past two weeks are given as the reason for a probable boost in the retail prices of fresh meats in the Washington mar kets. Local dealers say they have been Informed of advances in price to be made effective today or tomorrow, and add that these advances are such as to make it necessary for them to put up the retail prices of all kinds of meats to their cus tomers. Just how large the price Increases may be none of the retailers was willing to say this morning. One or two of them professed to believe that no general ad vance will be made in retail prices, but others predicted advances of from 2 to 10 cents a pound on all the higher priced cuts of beef, with increases of 2 to 4 cents a pound on pork and mutton. The reason given by one of the big retail deal ers at Center Market today was: "Snowstorms and bad weather in the west have prevented the shipments of cattle and other stock to the Chicago stockyards. The Receipts there have in the past two weeks fallen off to an alarming extent. For instance, Saturday's receipts were less than 25 per cent of the receipts for the same day a year ago. The result is that the packers are shov ing up their prices, as their storage stocks are running very low. "The retailers' margin has been so slight for the past few months that we sim ply can't stand this last advance, and we shall have to pass it on to our customers. There is some consolation in the fact that spring is advancing rapidly, and be fore many weeks there will be a lot of crrass cattle on the market, which will bring about a reduction in prices." 92.no Philadelphia, *2.25 Cheater, 52.00 Wilmington and return.

Many local barber shops were open yesterday, the proprietors taking ad vantage of Judge Pugh's ruling in the Police Court last week that the regula tion stipulating that barber shops be closed Sundays was not in effect. The shops downtown kept open in the morn ing only, but a great many shops in the residential sections of the city were open all day. This is the first time a barber shop has been open Sunday unless the pro* prietor was willing to take the tthanee of arrest since 180B, when the Old cor poration of Washington made regulations designed to close them up the first day of the week. Abram C. Luber, proprietor of a shop in the Biggs building, was ar rested several months ago and charged with violating this provision. The case was not called for trial until last Fri day, when a motion to quash the infor mation was granted toy Judge Pugh on the gtounds that t^e organic act of .Con gress which changed the form of gov ernment in this city wiped out this old regulation with all of the others made by the mayor and common council of the city of Washington. Not all of the barbers of the city are in sympathy with keeping open Sunday. The proprietor of one of the larger down town establishments said today that the life of the "Sunday opening" would be very short. "Under the old system the shops stayed open late enough Saturday night to handle the trade." he declared. "I believe that the sentiment here is against keeping open Sunday. There is scarcely any doubt that a strong fight will be waged against this innovation." HE TALKED TO FLO WEBS. Eisenhart Also Said He Had $52,000 and Police Were Called. Michael E.

When Eisenhart remarked that he had $52,000 in cash In his pocket those who heard him notified the police.
