Several mattcrB of importance were dis cussed and a temporary organization com pleted by electing Kev. H. C. Robinson as chairman and S. E. Jones as secretary.

(Eight Pages.) Sunday Times, (Twenty Pages.) NAME. tt i ADDRESS.. Are You Already a Subscriber to the Morning Times? EXPECT HIM TO RETIRE Fish Commissioner McDonald in III Health for Some Time. CHAOS IN THE COMMISSION In Anticipation of the Lone Expected Chnnso tho Employes Are Strii Ins mid I'lmmiim to Muko Theiiieles Solid Work Huh Been Greatly Crippled an a Coiuseiiuence. A fundamental change in the poslUon of the Fish Commission in his relations to the government will probably bo made by the approaching session of Congress. Hon. Marshall Macdonald, tvb has for eight j ears b-en ut the head of the commission and who is regarded as one of the leading authorities in the world upon the subject of fish culture, lias been in Hl-healUi for some time and will probably retire. Whether Congress will place the work In charge of the Department of Agriculture or reorganize it and put it upon a more generous appropriation is an open question. It is certain that complete revolution in Its operations audits work will be made. For one thing, much more attention w 111 be given, to the propagation and protection of the species of fish that furnish a living to thousands of the common people on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, around the Co lumbia river in the Northwe-t, and on the great fishing flcej that makes its head quarters at San Francisco; much less will bo spent upon the cultivation of gold fish, trout and salmon, fort lie pleasure lakes and fWiliig streams of the wealthy and in fluential. HONEYCOMBED WITH RIVALRIES. In lew of this probable change the com mission is cow in a somewhat ciiaotic cundition. Itishouejcombed with rivalries. Men who ha e long been in the ser ice are striving and planning to make themselves secure in theuplieaalaiiduotafewof them aro fighting ambitiously to better their condition. There is an effort being made to direct the appointment of Mr. Macdonald's suc cessor, and to accomplish this through him. The p'an is to have liim withhold his resignation till the President lias been brought to the point of naming the suc cessor that is desired. Two men are slated for the place, either of whom will be satisfactory to these managers. One is non in the National Museum; the other is a citizen of New York. - Under these conditions the work of the cotumis'.lon has been greatly crippled. The animosities engendered hae inter fered with the elocution of plans, and the uncertainty of what lies in the future has prevented the preparation of a general outline for work, such as would be or the highest public benefit. CLEKK WROTE THE REPORT Since the investigation of the commis sion fi'c years ago, -nnen Mr. Macdonald had Ills clerk write the report of the com mittee, the superintendent has left much of his work to other officials As a result there, has been little oppor tunity for independent progressive action in the line of developing the commercial fisheries of the country, upon which several millions of persons depend for a liiclibood. 1 1 becampknown in the Commission a year ago that Mr. Macdonald would probably retire,-' and as a consequence contentions arose which made it difficult to obtain ap propriations for salaries, etc. To pull through the amounts finally ob tained it was necessary to keep influential Congressmen in a good humor and c en then the amount granted was so small that several of the field agents were called in to do officii work last'March. Three of the Congressmen whose good will was much deeened were Senators Cock rell and Hale and Representative Bayers, chairman of the House appropriations com mittee. Though such a thing was futile three hatcheries were planned and located inland in the States from which thcte gentlemen came. WAYS OF INFLUENCING THEM. Missouri has no commercial fisheries at ail, jet a station In that State, it was behcTed would please Senator Cockrell and It was located there. For a similar reason stations were built la Texas and Maine. The latter is devoted principally to the propagation of land-locked salmon, a splendid specimen for anglers. It Is at Green Lake. A few days ago President Cleveland received a pressing invitation to visit that region for a fishing trip. He did not go, but some of his Intimate friends were there. They met with poor success, and it is said the result was a dis appointment to those whoplaluiedtheinvita tioii. It was hoped President Cleveland might be reached at the time with a sugges tion as to Mr. Macdonald's successor. While all this is going on, the legitimate work of the commission is impaired. THWARTED A SUICIDE. Unknown Miui Attempted to Hans Iliiiifc-rtf Xcwr AnacoKtln.

At a meeting of the Electrical Workers' Union, No 26, heldlastevcning.-it Ecu wa rtz's Hall, No. 837 Seventh street northwest, a letter from J. T. Kelley, grand secretary and treasurer of the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, was read, requesting all clccliluil workers not to visit the ex position at Atlanta for the present. Th3 reason for this action by tho National Brotherhood is that a great deal of the work dono In tho cxiiosition building was by convict labor. In Atlanta the Electrical WorkTs lately organized Union No. 27, bat so far it 1 as pot ben able to make ltslf felt in that city. The wages paid workmen in Atlanta are far below union rates and an effort will bo made to hae them raised to tho standard, ail around. In compliance with the above suggestion Union 20.

First Appearance' 6 -Market Space 6 -Mi This Evening. For many yean the Central Union Mission bos operated a gosptlwagon, from which open-air gospel services In every section of, the city have been ijeld. At first they used one ot Knox's excursion wagons, but afterwards the churches! contributed funds with which to pay ror a;wagon adapted to the work. A wugor was built eight years ago, which had a splendid history of work accomplished, but was destroyed in the great Knox'flre a year ago. During the past winter another was con structed and dedicated to the service on the first Sabbath in May, which has been going out and holding six and seven meet ings each week. But the calls for the wagon's services have come from every quarter ot the District, and one wagon could not possibly meet the demands ot the community. This condition coming to the attention ot Mr. W. L. Bruen, he, with his usual lib erality, ordered the constructijon of gos pel wagon No. 2, which will bjdedicated on Sunday next. This wagon, which will make its first appearance in Market Space at 7:30 Jhls evening, is a marvel of sym metry and beauty. It Is twelve feet long by five feet wide, accommodates sixteen workers, is painted a handsome oak color, and bears the words on each side ot IL body, painted in large, conspicuous letters, "Central Union Mission." Tho cost ot the wneon was $400, but this was exclusive ot the cost of a handsome team and harness and housing and keeping the same, and the expense of a driver. It is expected that great gotnl will be accomplished through this new agency, the purpose being to keep It running every night in the week. It will bo manned by a competent corpsot workers, men and women consecrated to the service of the Lord, who lote souls better than their own ease and comfort nnd gladly go forth to tell the lost ot "whnt a -wonderful Sntlor they have found." Great activity prevails among the work ers at the main hall and branches of tho Central Union Mission. 0-nir meet ings are held either in Market Space or in front of the auditorium on Louisiana ave nue every night In the week, and large audiences bari! attended the va nous evening and noonday senices. At the branches open-air senices are held before going into the hall, nnd in many instances the entire services are conducted out-doors. The songs as they areaung oJton the even ing air attract large crowds and many gather to hear the gospel. On the part ot the people lucre appears to be a real hunger for salvation, while on the part of the workers there was neer more eager efforts to reach the unsaved and hring.thpni to Christ. Major Hilton, the cangellst, nnd Mr. Curtis.. or the "Helping Hand Mission," of Chicago, w ill speak from the rew gospel wagon at Market Space Ibis evening. After the usual gospel service in the audi torium the wagon will carry the workers to the Midnight Mission Meeting wn Thir teenth street at 10 o'clock to-night.

The Old Guard ami several hurjdrcd of their friends had o,irile,nn enjoyable time "at llrclimidsarrmer I'ntertninment. JaAt night at the National lHfljs Armory. One of the several special features of the programme was a dress parade by the Mount Pleasant FleliJ.ll.nd. Mrs. Harry Hospital, Miss Hatlie 'Maglnms and ,Dr. Thomas Calver contributed several clever recitations, and Prof. E. L. Scharf and his puplU.on the mandolin, played sevcralnum- bcrs. Messrs. George n. Llliebritlgeand George D. Scott sang, and Mr Jaquette, of the Columbia Athletic Club, gave an exhibition of club-swinging. Mcmuer? of that club also appeared in "The Tug of War." "Miss Agm-s Phclius, Mr. Will A. Boyd and Mr. Claude Coop sey took part iu the "Train to Mauro." The scientific exhibition of sparring by Messrs. Carter and Moar was an interest ing feature of the evening. THOUGHT SHE WAS STOLEN. rolIce'H Suspicious Aroused Oicr n Child TVitli the Gypsies. ' The police ot the ninth precinct aro still in doubt as to whether a little three year-old tot that came into the D'strlct jesterday with a band of gypsies really belonged to any member of the tribe. The child, who gave her name a? Georgia, could understand and speak a little Eng lish, while not one of the gypsies under stood a word. Mounted Officers Cook and Kenney carried the little girl to the station house, but after careful Investi gation the police decided that there was no good reason why they should hold her, and she was returned to her reputed mother. The gyps'cs were ordered to leave the District. Good TcmpIarM' Trolley ricnlo. Star ot Hope Lodge, Good Templars, held their re-gular meeting at their hall. Nineteenth street and Pennsjlvania av enue northwest, Thursday evening. The committee on moonlight trolley picnlo to Chevy Chase reported that they had char tered the Illuminated trolley car Tor Wednes day evening, September 4. The demand for tickets was so great that the com mittee are seriously considering the nc essity of chartering two Instead of one car so that all who wished to go may be accommodated. The social feature of the meeting as usual was a decided success. YFnle-s' Little Joke. Tbe.house party at Sandringham for the sale of the prince's hackneys the other day should.

A glance at the Court Circular will reveal the fact that his royal highness has no objection to the society of thosewho have raised them selves in the social scale by honorable ex ertions. Indeed, a friend of mine remarked that it reminded him somewhat of that other party of wbictrja good, story used many years ago tcvbeitold In connection with the great Mr.tPcfele, of SavilleRow.

Once In the night there teemed nn improvement, but it was only momentary, and be has re mained jut4 as jou see him now. Perhaps I was mistaken even then." She cpoke with the calm, matter-of-fact precKencss of her calling, and watched In respectful silence while the doctor made his wonted examination. Standing at the foot of the bed, in her plain gray dress aud professional cap and apron, she looked a strong, reliant figure, capable ot the patient fulfilment of burdensome duties, aud of sum, masterful action in moments of emergency. Her face was iole, and ap peared paler Mill for the deep rings under the ojes that told of a night's vigil; and though trained for years to Impassive con templation ot suffering and sorrow. Its features were all too finely moulded and sympathetic to wholly conceal a nature instinctively gentle and tender. The doctor put his watcli bacCi into his poctr and Mou !; !.-.t toned his coat as he looked at the unconscious figure in the Led. "The change may come at any mcrseut," he faki, "aud wh:n it decs tbtre -a ill be nothing more for cs to do. He cannot possibly Inc through the daj; he may die lit the next five minutes. I will ttay here a little while; I am rot Ltsy this morning; and' he scanred Ser keenly and noted the weariness her oyer could not conceal "you had better rest in the armchair. Tou look a bit fagged. Did you get any sleep last night?" "No," she answered, finiply, moviLg to the caair he wheeled forward for her. She failed to add that she had taken no rest and Marce any food since Wednef day after noon, tbouga It was then Friday. He would have Ecoldcd her for her want of care of herself, and her tccret was inestimably "dear to ber. The doctor drew the bliLds to shut out the morning sunlight there was little need for light now. llovlng noiselestiy about the room he amused himself examining the books aid curious odds and ends that littered the rocm, glancirg from time to time toward the bed where hisdying patient breathed slowly aud heavily. He even won dered about the identity of the man whose existence bad only come to his ken, was called by the laundress a couple of dajs back. It was then too late to disc-overmuch, for the patieut had lain all night insensible by the heavy brass fender with a fractured skull; and precious hours wherein it ml?hl hae been possible to raise the de pressed bone, remove the clots, and so re lieve the pressure on the brain had passed without a suspicion. The shadow of death was creeping across the large room In the Temple. The charwoman found him in the morning and screamed for the assistance and the comfort ot her daughter Hannah. Together they began to treat the poor gen tleman for what they comprehensively termed '"fits," but the girl, discovering the small wound at the back of the head, the doctor was speedily brought, and they volubly furnished him with the leading facts. He was a very lonely gent, wonderfully lovely, and during the ten years she had known him she bad never seen him with a friend Ko visitors came to his room, and even letters were rare. He led a quiet, orderly life, with money always ready for reasonable comforts, aud was ever kind and pleasant-spoken to herself and her daughter. When she found hlra lying there so still and awful It gave her quite a turn, and she was too much flurried to think what could have happened. Perhaps the doctor was right in thinking be must have fallen from the narrow ladder leaning against tho bookshelves, and struck his bead on the fender. Such a thing had never happened before all the time she had been in the tnn, nnd she could remember Dr. Jilcher quietly checked the reminis cent flow and hastened to place a nurse in charge. He was satisfied that the acci dentas he was certain It bad been could have but one ending. There are few threads in the tangled skein of London life that run their length smoothly enougbbx enable a stranger to pick up any part and trace its history, and Dr. Pilcher was too accustomed to the knots, the sudden entan glements, the confusing Influence of In truding threads, to expect to carry far bis Investigations Into the antecedents of an unknown patient. The man was ot the intellectual type The good forehead and the long, well-' shaped nose could belong to no stunted mind. His books, if somewhat incongru ous, revealed literary appreciation; the water-colors on the walls and the china about the room argued taste' a crucifix at the bedhead suggested a religious temper ament, which the doctor, Judging from the general surroundings, surmised to be impressionable rather than devotional..

Her small, pert face, with Its dainty cheeks and daring eyes, was as real in this faded photograph as the frank charms of honest Mistress Nellie in the canvases of Sir Peter Lely are to us to-day. The doctor examined the portrait for a mo ment and peered nt the dim name written across it, smiling tolerantly as the wear and tastes ot earlier days came back to his mind, while the woman in the armchair watched blm with tired eyes. The heavy, stentonous breathing and -the pe culiar blowing of the lips changed suddenly to a quick, convulsive struggle, and in an instant both were by the bedside. Together tbey watched and waited till the brief agony was stilled. "I will send up the laundress," the doc torsald, "and then you had better go home; it is no use stopping here. I know his so licitors, and will nrite to them that they may communicate with his relathes, it he has any. They can see me about any ar rangements they want to make." She nodded without speaking, and he left with a cheery "Good-by," telling her to be certain that the door was locked ere she left. As he went down stairs ho said to himself she was working too hard and needed a change, and made a mental vow to send her witb his next patient ordered to the sea side. She remained at the foot of the bed till the heavy approach of the laundress roused her, and she went shuddering to. the chair, where she sat shading her face, while the woman laid out the body after the" decent fashion of our people. When she had gone she locked the door. Then she presed-lier hands oyer ber eyes and trembled slightly, remaining still and sorrowing for some minutes. Tresently she went to tho bed and, uncovering the. face, began to smooth the hair from the fore head, speaking in a low murmur. "Harry, dear," she whispered, "Uie world could notdivide us at the last, though it Is so big. Wo are together, you and I, as we used to be in the be ginning. Do you mind, now that you know that I am with you? ,Tou are" cot angry, dear, because after all these years Qod has let me see you again and call you by your name, and oh yes" She bent to kiss him, but shook her head sadly instead, and knelt by his side. "Let me talk to jou just as it it were the same again, as if nothing had hap pened, and we were boy and girl once more. I won't say anything about ber to make you angry. I won't remember it, and yon must forget, too. Can you forget, I wonder? Do you forget now? Tou for got me while you were alive; aro you forgetting her, now jou are dead?" The tears gathered In her eyes and she sobbed sotUy. She looked Into the white face and said quicklyr "But I wont ask you to forget, Harry. I won't ask- It; It Isn't mine to ask. It was an a mistake, dear, and-we have both suf fered; perhaps she has suffered too. It was hard you were not happy; you were so good and loved so much. We have both loved much, have we not? I wonder if ynu ever thought ot me as I nave thought ot you, Jobs They have to work hard and remembered the old days. It you had met me I wonder if you wuld have taken me In your arms and kissed me as you did in the meadows at Langley. I would havo let you, Harry, as I did then; you know I would. Were you too proud to come bad to me? Oh, my dear, I would have lain at your feec, had you wls"ied it. and begged you to look down and smile at me. But It's too late now; there's no hope for either of us. I felt that there could not be after the day you wrote me; but I would havo faced everything and dared everything it you had come back. Never mind, dear, it is good to look back upon and think ot and love, and nobnly can take It away from us. Don't think of it it it makes you angry, but I can't help remembering; and now I'm telling you ith no one elso to hear." The bright sun beat through the window blinds and filled the room with a radiance thick and hot. She bowed her head on the bed and remained kneeling, with her arms stretched across his body. Presently she arose and began to move softly about the room, touching bis books nnd little treas ures. The white figure on the cross hung in its infinite pathos over the bed. Sho took it from its place and was about to lay it on his breast. With a quick gesture, she stopped and replaced It on the wall. Then she turned to his writing table and took up the faded photograph in the Ox ford frame. "You were his, then," she said In gentle, even voice; "and you are his still. Tou have the right; I have none. Perhaps you, living in you great world to-day, have quito forgotten, but I know he has remem bered, and " her voice shook a little "he would wish it." Bhe laid the photograph on the body where she had turned back the sheet aud smoothed the creases away from it. Her bands clasped before her, she stood looking at the strasgc pair the dead man, with his peaceful face, aud the picture, with its saucy eyes and antiquated finorles. The wicked orbs seemed mockingly- to tell her of a barrier the must not pass, a right of possession she dare not dispute. She sighed, us if submissively, aud turned to the window, llftln&Vi corner ot the blind to scan the well-nigh deserted thoroughfare. Acoster passed with a baakctful of cow slips, and she remembered -a morning In Langley meadows, where Harry made a wreath and crowned her his Queen ot the Cowslips. Going to the door, she called Hannah, and, giving her some pennies, sent her to buy a buncli of the rowers. She took them back to the roomaud began to strew them over the coverlid. The mock ing eyes appeared to follow her with uncon cealed derision, and hastily fhe swept tho yellow blossoms tog-thcr again. Filling a large Jar with water, she arranged the flowers in It aud put it on a table by the head of the bed. She picked up a fewsprays from the bunch and laid them for a moment on the cold lips. Then she tcok tbem,'and undoing a button jn her bedice, bid them at her breast. Without looking at him again she crept noisclersly out of the room, locking the door and giving the key to th laundress, as the doctor had directed. In the smoking-room of u west end club two men were talking. One said: "I was at Lady Stourcommou's last night. What a flirt that woman remains at liltyt" Black and White. .
