SUBE SIGNS OF SUMMER.
Street PrcacJicrw and GokijcI Slnc:-
cn Ajrnln at Work.
. One at the surest signs of Summer days
to the Wjishingtonlan Is the fact that
stroet preachers are again out In force,
soaking whom they may turn from the
orror f their way and urge to "flee from
the wrath to come."
Dhe familiar faces about the usual
places in the city where those Rood folk
are -wont to hold forth yesterday were
in evidence, as in former years, and the
texts were in most cases suited to the
sulphurous character of the day to say
nsthlng of the thoughts which thronged
the mfna of the average "Washlngtonian.
The immense gospel wagon of the Cen
tral Union Mission folk, drawn by four
horees and containing a large company
of young people, under Superintendent
Bailey, of that organization, was the pul
pit from which several sermons were de
livered yesterday, and there were many
who were as greatly touched by the sing
ing of the sweet hymns by the workers
as by the words of entreaty to forsake
ways which are popularly supposed to
and In a place to reach which Spain seems
to be straining every nerve.
Misfi Ivlmball, who possesses a mezzo
soprano voice of great effectiveness and
rare sweetness, sang a number of solos,
wMch were appreciated by the listeners.
an the other singers agisted materially
)H the services.
1The effort of the Salvation Army
throughout its three corps in this city
yesterday were expended, in large part,
upon pen -air work, and here were good
ly audiences at all of the meetings. Last
evening two meetings were held in Frank
lin Square by Capt. and Mrs. Wray and
thelr assistants, while the Simms sisters
ensign and captain lield forth on Capi
n& iHiM to large crowds.
Tite' fountain at Seventh Street and
Permeytvania Avenue was surrounded all
Serday afternoon and evening by per-.t-oas
who listened to the several preach
ers of -the day with various degrees of in
ter est.
MAJ. MOORE'S OBDEH.
ComitlninlK Tlint Mnny XewKlioyh
WIwreKGrded It Yesterday.
As a result of the order of Major Moore,
sapertifttendcnt of the Metropolitan police,
-irelatlve to the indiscriminate crying of
wares Tj hucksters, the speeding of motor
cars, the crying of the regular editions of
iJnaTOWjapers on Sunday by newsboys and
otnlfcpgtters. there was a noticeable im
provement yesterday in the conditions
which called forth the instructions from
headquarters.
The newsboy portion of the order, how
ever, was violated in several sections of
tto. city with apparent impunity. Par
tfeul&riy was this the case upon Capitol
HIM, where complaints were made by
many persons that they were aroused
from their sleep at an early hour by the
shrill cries of the little venders of war
aaA other news almost -under their win
dows. It vas stated that it is not generally
understood that the department is in ear
nest about the enforcement of that por
tion of the order, but the police. It is
said, have -received additional instruc
tions to bo on the lookout to enforce ev
ery detail of the regulation.
Eliiliitioii of Jlifch Kicking.
A kicking horse owned by P. Dougherty,
who keens a livery stable on Eleventh
Street between B and C Streets northwest,
created a great deal of excitement last
evening near the Franklin monument.
Mr. Doagnerty was out driving ivith his
wife during the afternoon and it was not
till he was returning home and had got
as far as Pennsylvania Avenue and Tenth
Street that the horse became intractable.
For a few minutes the horse's heels llew
as fast as a. shot from a gatlin gun and
the front of the buggy was completely
wrecked.
A crowd quickly gathered but no one
foemed to have the temerity to tackle the
rapid high kicker until Policeman Coch
ran appeared upon the scene and at the
risk of serious injury to himself caught
the horse and held him until others came
to Ms assistance. The horse was finally
quieted and taken to the stable.
"Women's Missions.
Extensive preparations have been made
by the ladies of the' combined Methodist
Churches of Washington District for the
coming quarterly meetings of the Wo
man's Missionary Societies of the
churches which will be held at Kensing
ton on Wednesday of this week, the la
dies being the guests of the local societies
of this beautiful suburban town.
A feature of the meeting will be the
parting address of Mrs. Dr. S. L. Beller,
the honored president of the Foreign Mis
sionary Association of Washington Dis
trict, who leaves the city for a residence
In ICcw York. Mrs. Beiler will be greatly
missed, as will also her husband, the
Rev. Dr. Boiler, formerly vice-chancellor
of the American University, who has ac
cepted a. supply pastorate in New York
City.
The "Snmmcr Car" Diversion.
A popular diversion these days for those
persons who have not the good fortune to
possess bicycles is to take a trip or a
number of trips upon the open or "Sum
mer" cars which are run by the several
railway companies of the city. Yester
day there was a large increase In the
business of these lines and the fact was
due to the unusually large number of
those who enjoyed a few moments or
hours speeding through the quiet streets
to the accompaniment of clanging bells
and the dull-toned singing caused by the
rapid movement of the cars.
Mr. P. Ketcham of Pike City. Cal., says:
"During my brother's late sickness from
sciatic rheumatism, Chamberlain's Pain
Balm was the only remedy that gave him
any relief." Many others have testified
to the prompt relief from pain which this
liniment affords. For sale by Henry
Evans, wholesale and retail druggist, 93S

THE SECHABITES.
The "tiilon Meeting' ut Cnmmnclc
Tent Complete Succeim.
Cammack Tent, No. 53, Independent Or
der of Rechabites, held an unusually in
teresting and profitable session In their
tent room, Third and Pennsylvania
Avenue southeast, on Saturday evening
last. Representatives of all the tents
in the District of Columbia were present
by special invitation, and took an active
part in making the "union meeting" the
success that It proved to be. Two of the
resident high tent officers, the District
Tent officers, and the chief rulers of the
various tents, occupied scats of honor up
on the platform. The services under the
"good of the order" were participated in
by a large number of those present, and
many important matters of Interest to the
welfare of the order, were-discussed, and,
no doubt, will bring fruit in the legisla
tion of the higher bodies of the order. A
fraternal spirit was evinced in the dis
cussions, all tending to show that the
local Rechabites are enthusiastic in their
chosen line of work, and are fully awake
to the value of unity and accord in the
method of procedure. Plans for strength
ening present lines of work, and discus
sion of the advisability of influencing
legislation along hitherto neglected
branches, in the higher bodies of the or
der, were carefully considered. The fol
lowing extemporaneous program was
given: Remarks, Robert W. Johnson, D.
C. R.; solo, "Touch Not the Cup," Dr. J.
T. Hensluy; remarks. R. Emmet Smith,
P. H. T. S-: solo, "The Flag That Bears
the Stars and Strlpe.s," R. E. Smith; re
marks, James II. Davy, II. T. S.; whist
ling, imitations, etc., James L.itz; re
marks, John R. Mahoney, P. H. T. C. R.;
Thomas Spillman, P. C. R.; R. S. Scott,
C. R.; W. Waters, Ct R.; Dr. J. T. Hens
ley, D, R.; Dr. E .W- Kirby. C. R.; and
others. Cigars were served In abundance
and ice cream and cake enjoyed by all
present.
During the business session two appli
cations were received and one candidate
received into membership. The report of
various committees showed good work
being accomplished and an enthusiasm
pervading the entire membership.
At a late hour the members dispersed,
all voting it one of the most pleasant
and profitable sessions held jointly be
tween the different tents In years. The
Idea originated with the members of
Cammack Tent, and the plan will no
doubt be followed by other tents.
A SUNDAY AWHEEL.
Thousands Toole Adviintnc of the
ChnrniiiiK" AVentlier Yesterday.
A large number of devotees of the si
lent, glittering hteed availed them
selves yesterday of the superb skies that
were hung In the arch of the heavens
and of the vernal airs which were wafted
through space to take long spins through
the surrounding country. They went
singly, In pairs and in bodies, which are
expressed by any number of mathemati
cal terms, and everyone enjoyed a day
of seemingly unalloyed satisfaction.
The usual rendezvous were visited by
thousands of pleasure-seekers during the
day, and probably the largest numbers
went to Glen Echo, Cabin John Bridge
and Chevy Chase. Takoma Park, Cycle
Cottage, Overlook Inn, Bennlngs, Brill's
Bladensburg, Tennleytown, Hyattsvllle
and all the other famous destinations for
wheelmen were also well patronized, and
there was no diminution of those wbo
made their way to the several cemeteries
about the city to visit the graves of their
dead.
The fact that the vicinity of the city
abounds in places where one may com
mune with nature's God through "her
visible forms" doubtless accounted for
the vast heglra from Washington yester
day. Perhaps the most interesting to
a Northerner, at least place to be vis
ited is the country to the east of the
city, where are to be seen many things
suggestive, in a minor note, of the olden
time in "de Souf." The stretches of
woodland, blended happily with brook
side and water-scape, underbrush and
heavily-hung fields, formed truly an In
viting locality for the city-lorn weight,
and all was thoroughly appreciated yes
terday. THE CANTY TEIAL.
The Government "Will Close Its
Case Tliih Morniiicr.
The fourth week of the trial of Dennis
J. Canty, who is charged with the mur
der of George M. Rye, on March 13 last,
on the corner of F and Fourteenth
Streets, will begin this morning in crim
inal court No. 1, Judge C. C. Cole pre
siding. The proceedings throughout have been
watched with the closest interest, es
pecially by the members of the bar, be
cause of the many new legal questions
which have arisen during the hearing.
A greater number of witnesses have al
ready been examined than In any other
criminal case tried In the District, and it
may also be stated that such a variance
In the testimony was never known.
The Government will close Its case very
soon after the opening of the court this
morning and then the defense will submit
its evidence in sur-rebuttal. It Is not ex
pected that argument in the case will
begin until Wednesday.
BREAD IS CHEAPER.
The Price Goes Haelc to the Former
. r KifjareM-AKHin.
Some weeks ago the price of bread was raised
one cent a loaf, rolls and ether flour products
poinpr up accordingly. A reaction has now set
in, and several of the larger bakeries, among them
the Charles Snjder Raking Company, hae gone
back to the original price of 5 cents.
This goes to eIiou' that the bread prices was
not a genuine exigency of war, but rather a re
sult of flour market manipulation, through
which speculators hae inado fortunes at the cx
Icnse of the jx-ople.
With a natural reaction in the market flour
has gone down, and consequently bakers are en
abled to return to their old prices.
Many baking firms, however, are holding out for
continued high prices, and at a baker's meeting
scvtral dajs ago it was decided not to return to
the old scale. One by one Anna are breaking
away from their agreement, and in a few days
5-cent bread will no doubt be plentiful.
Nature's laws are inexorable.
She requires us to feed the mind
and body in proportion to the
amount we draw on those resour
ces. There's no better food for
run down systems thau the Na
tional Capital Brewing Co.'s
