THE -WrASHXyTOy TIMES. SUNDAY, JULY 22. 1894. LESSONS TO LEGISLATORS Influences That Will Emanate from Endeavorcr's Coming Convention. GREATEST OP ALL MEETINGS Tnuteei of the Oeneral Society Speak of the Frotpecti for the Great Gathering in '86. How the Machinery of Preparation Should Be Set in Motion. "New York and 'Washington are bound in My wedlock for the success of the great con dition of '. Such was the significant eaiarfc of Kev. A. W. II. Hodder. president the New York City Christian Endeavor Knion, at the recent reception tendered the ppire State delecatlon by the District Eion. And New lorK is not tne only inena Washington has bad and will hare from this lime until the convention of '86 is a thing at the past. Hundreds of Endeavorers of other Stales have extended helping hands and hearts to local committee for the success of that eat gathering two years hence. If prom- Is and intentions of Endeavorers declared -his early day may be taken as a criterion he attendance at Washington in 90, that kreationwill bo by many thousands the kt and best in the history of Christian favor. hile in Cleveland last week The Times t correspondent was told by number of bpetent judges, among them several trus b of the United Society, that In their opln- it would not be safe for the local commit- I to make preparations for less than 100,000 !". .... bideed, said one oi tnese genuemen, --j. f i e I am safe in s.vi inc that at that treat Serine there mav bo twice that number of arnest. loyal Christian Endeaorers from l err countrv in the world. And the trus ses were convinced that world-wide Ende.-u or hterests would rcceh o an impetus from such la convention which they could not get in nny ' other way. This was one of the principal reasons whv Washington cot tho contention. Another was that so many young Christians gathered at the nation's capital with ono motto and engaged in one common cause would be a mighty object-lesson to the na tional legislators for Christian citizenship and Interdenominational fellowship. Our Con pressmen and the country at large would be able to realize what the Christian Endeavor Focietvisdoinc and can do toward promoting the best interests of good Christian govern ment." MinnTY 5ATIOXM. IMXCESCZ. "Yes, you will have a big time in Washing ton two years from this time." said another member of the board of trustees, who was standing near by. "And if I am not there then it will be one of the greatest disappoint ments of my lite. Why, just think of the mightj Influence a hundred tbousandCbristlan Endtaorers In convention assembled attha national capital of the greatest country on earth will have for good citizenship and world-wide endeavor. It is inetimaole, and will undoubtedly be in point of numbers at least tne greatest Christian Endeavor conven tion which has ever been or Will be held. I i will cladly do anything in my tower to mako I it the success it deserves to be. "Suppose we consider some of the features of such a gathering," said a third tru'tee, and one who has been alw.ivs in favor of Wash ington, "first there are the early morning prayer-meetings, which are usually held at half-past six each morning in a number of churches, and conducted by members of vis iting societies. In Cleveland with 40,000 delegates in attendance there were about a dozen oi these 'early morning praver-mcct-ings each day, and they were all well at tended. But when more tbau a hundred thousand Endeavorers come to Washington in '!)6 1 believe it will be necessary for jour committee to make arrangements whereby every church in the city will be open for the?e meetings at 6 o'clock in the morning. And with bright, wideawake leaders these will make a sort of convention in themselves. "Then there are committee conferences, which are usually held the second afternoon of the convention. Iloro tbe members of tbe different committees assemble and exchange ideas and tell of new and profitable plans for progressive work along differont lines. As these are the real working forces oi each society, here is where much of the inspiration for better and more progressive work in tho individual societies is gained. L4KOE 11 ALL XECEsStllT. At Cleveland one church and sometimes a mall Sunday-school room wero sufficiently commodious to accommodate all who came, but, in my opinion, it will be necessary to havb a large ball to provide for those who will attend some of the more important com mittee conference. At that convention es pecial effort should be made to have a good attendance at tho good citizenship committee meetings, because of the principal reasons for the trustees deciding to hold the convention of '36 in Washincton was tho fact that, being the capital ot the nation, there could bo greater Influence for good citizenship dis seminatedthroughout the country thau from any other city. "Interdenominational fellowship is another of tho foundation stones of the Christian En deavor Society, and when the thousands of eery creed and denomination assemble in the capita! In '9G this fellowship will receive n greater impetus than e er before, and possibly than ever utter. "At the denominational rallies which were held in Cldveland Thursday uiternoon there teemed to be one idea or principle paramount to all others, and that was that thcro should be less denomlcationallsm and more inter denominational fellowship. This idea was so widespread at the recent convention that I believe during the next two j cars it will be so worked up that when the convention meets in 'Dfi thero will be something dono tending toward tbe formation of an interdenomina tional missionary society, to more thoroughly spread tho Bible truths and at the same timo form Christian Endeavor societies among the voung converts. That alone would be worth all tho cost of such a great convention. "I rjplievo you have some persons in Wash ington commonly culled Congressmen," said tho member of the board of trustees in con clusion, "and a Christian Endeavor conven tion oi such magnitude assembled beneath the dome would make them halt in their tariff discussion and give attention to this mighty onward movement. They will ba able to understand what it means for 2,000,000 voung people to be banded together in one common cause nno will not support impure politi cians, success to vt astiuigion in 56.' CARRYING GOLD AT SEA. Because of Its Location the Specie Locker Is Hard to Get At. From Hardware The specio locker on an ocean steamer is a carefully-constructed vault and is located in the stern immediately over the screw. It has the shape of a half oval, following tne contour of tho side of the vessel, and is gen erally about six feet in its extreme from top to bottom. Some vaults are fifteen or twenty fect In length, fore and aft. Tho interior is reached by a door or hatchway from tho top simply large enough to give convenient ac cess. This door is ot steel, and has a com bination lock, which is known only to the purser. Over this batch is also fastened three bars of steel two and a half inches thick which swing at one end on hinges and are locked aud also bolted at tho other. The locker, it will be seen, is in the most suitable location iu the ship, away from the crew, and cannot be tampored with, as on three sides of it is tho sea. The purser receives tho gold, care fully examines the seals, then checks off the weights and assumes the responsibility for it. Gold is Bhipped In bags holding (5,000 or in kegs ot $50,000. When in bars tbe size varies. Silver generally weighs 125 pounds - to the ingot, i SIBYL SANDERSON COKING. -Tha Pretty American Songbird Will Bo Heard in America Next Wlmter. Losdos, July 15. 81byl Sanderson, who has been a great deal of a success in Paris, and more or less the vogue in London, will go to America to appear In grand opera next winter. She is an American girl, whose fathtr Is ex Judge Sanderson, of California. She is quits young ami below the medium in height. She went to Paris to study muslo, very much, it is said, against her father' wishes. Her voieo is ot great range, and on the other aid she had no difficulty in making her conquests. To Massenet, who wrote an opera for her, and who taught her to sing, she owes much, as he stood by her and fought her battles for her until her success was assured. Pew Ameri can singers have been as much talked about on the continent as Miss Sanderson. Miss Sanderson's voice is somewhat treach erous. She has always pleased Parisian audiences, but has always failed to quite sat isfy the opera goers of London. I was pres ent on the night ot her first appearance in Covent Garden here. Much was expected ot her. but she failed to satisfy oven in tho slightest degree. She was as nervous as a witch. Her form shook, her voice trembled, and at times it was really pititnl to behold her. The curtain fell none too soon, and when it had gone down every lover of muslo and the newspaper critics were very much pleased. The next day the newspapers told the truth about the fiasco, and for a time Miss Sanderson was un able to appear. All this nervousness, I understand, has been overcome. She will go to America in splen did physique and with a good voice. But it must not be expected that she will oulshina eithor Melba or Calve, for she has neither the voice, natural ability, nor tbe presence of these two great lyric artists. JMSSENETAS HB IS. The rirst French Musician and a Charm ing Alan. London, July 15. I saw M. Massenet the other day. The first French musician of this generation, whoso "Werther" was heard in the states last winter, is a striking figure, not tall, but broad ot chest; with a massive but gentle brow; clear jut features and well pro portioned, and wearing a pensive, re markably sweet expression; he has every whit the look of an artist, but it was born with him and is not assumed. A broadly sympathetic man, conscientious in all he undertakes, and believing in the power of incessant labor added to natural gifts. In dress easy, unassuming, rather out ot than in the mode of the day. He bendt slightly forward in his walk, and never hurries or shows signs of impatience. A lovable man, in whom one would place infinite trust; who could not fall. This Is the rortraitof Massenet. In tbe salon ot the houco in the Ituo General Foy, in which M. and Mme. Massenet reside, is a cabinet where, among medals, orders, and mementoes of various' kinds there reposes a miniature painted by Vestler, a great artist in that style of the last century. The date it bears is 1772, and tbe subject is one Nicolas Roy de Mar ancour, some time court violinist to his maj esty Louis XV. This is a direct ancestor ot the composer Massenet on the maternal side. One is struck bv the resemblance ot features, though between these two there have been in the family no other great musicians. The first work of Massenet of publlo impor tance was "Don Cesar de Bazan." This was followed by a sacred drama. "Marie Magde leine," produced in 1873; and shortly after ward "Les Erynnies," a tragedy antique was accepted by the same theater, a piece also in three acts. In 1875 M. Lamou reux at the concert of tho Soclete de 1'IIarmonie Sacrc, introduced to- his au dience "Eve," a mystery in threo parts. Two years later and Masssnet was honored by "La ltoi de Lahore" being accepted by the grand opera; this is a great work in five nets, and it is always received with enthusi asm. "La Vierge," a sacred legend in four parts, was civen at the Opera in 1830, but it wos reserved for 1831 to see the light of the most importrnt and perhaps the greatest triumph of the master, "Herodlade," an opera in four acts, produced first at the Thea ter de la Monnale at Brussels. After thl serious offort a rest was neces sary, and not until 1834 was the opera "JIanon." matured in five acts, and written especially for Mme. Heilbronn. This was produced at the Opera Comique. "Le CId" added fresh laurels to the composer's renown, and was played for the first time at the Opera in 1835. Again, some four years elapse, and then in 1839 tho Opera Comique brought out "Esclarmonde," in four acts; and in 1891 was given "Lc Mage" at the Grand Opera. The first production of "Werther" was at tho Im jierial Opera at Vienna in 1832. It was brought to Pans the following vear to the Opera Comique, when Mile. Itenard and M. Van Dyck took the leading parts. The present jear, 1891, in theearlymonths, "Thais" was brought out at the Grand Opera, written especially for Mile. Sj bll Sanderson, whoso first appearance on the stage of the Academie Nationale de Musique is associated with thi piece. Subsequently a one-act light opera. "Le Portrait de Manon," was pro duced at tbe Opera Comique. The homes of the composer are three. In his Paris residence he has lived for twenty flve jcars, and has no intention of changing. Tho retired street at the back of the great dome ot St. Augustin is admirably suited to a man ot his retiring habits and studious dis position. Before the season is ov cr the composer and Mme. Massenet generally depart for a long itour among the varied bistorio cities of provincial France, Italy or Spain. Then the later Summer and Autumn is spent either at their country seat at Font de l'Arche, near llouen, or at their seaide home at rourville ce ir Dieppe. Tho rooms ot their Paris abode are full of interest. Differing from many English artists" houses, nothing is crowded, nothing super fluous, every rare objet d'art being in Itself ot merit, Both M. and Mme. Massenet hav e a thorough dislike of anything approaching self-advertisement. Masenet himself is too great to bo a poseur on the one hand, or a bobcmlan on the other. Ho is an unaffected, modest gentleman, and bis wifo a charming lady, who takes a loving interest and a sup pressed prido in everything that concerns her husband and nis art. A few sketches, etchings or paintings by bis friends, Carolus Duran and Leopold Flameng, hug on the salon walls; a bust or two by Chapu of members of his family, and Gcrome's original figure of Thais grace tho room, while delicious little cabinets and odd pieces of rare ameublement and cozy chairs for comfort fill every corner. Tho macstro's room is on one side lined with book", autograph presentation copies. A table is there, too, on which tho scores ot most ot his books have been written, and a small piano almost out ot sight. In a tow ways does the houso bear evidence of the owner's profession. "And lias Monsieur Massenet no composing piano?" I asked of mndame. "Ho has," was the reply, "in his bedroom, but rarely U9es it, preferring to write the entire scores without reference to any instrument." And, turning over n few pages of the forty or more huge folio volumes containing tho original scores of his work, ono is struck by the infinite care taken in tho scoring. Not a blot or erasure defaces the fair page on which the parts of nineteen instruments have to be written. For in ail things Mas senet is a master of detail afld order, and is decisive if not final when oncehis pen reaches tho paper. His habits are to commence work daily at C.30 a. m. and continue till dejeuner. He is at home to few, but meets his friends in tho afternoon or holds audiences with the interpreters ot his music in his bureau at tached to tho Maison Heugel, the publishers of hto works in the Bue Viv enne. Mero Politeness on His Part. Metaphors are like fireworks; they are ornamental, but they need careful handling. "The ministersays he had a nice chat with you down tbe street this afternoon," said Mrs. Henderson to heryouthiul son, Amos. "A nlco cbatl" answered Amos. "Ail the boys had gone down to the pood for a swim, and be kept me there almost ten minutes. I put on a pleasant fane, I guess.

McMAHOK HALL COMPLETED It Will So tho Beat of Philosophical Learn inf , and Has Ample Conveniences for the Work Dormitories for Out-of-town Stu dtnts Will loon Bo Under Way. UcMahon Hall, the seat ot philosophy, science and letters in the Catholic University, is rapidly approaching completion. The ex terior ot the great building is almost finished. There only remalns-to be dona some chiseled tracery work about ths main entrance, and this will only take but a little while, as the more elaborate carving has tor soma time adorned the building. The interior, however, is not so far ad vanced, although rapid progress has been mado within tho past few months. Ths plas terers are now nearly through with their share of tbe work. Somo very magnificent art plastering beautifies tbe walls. Especial care has been displaced in tbe main hall. The designs are not only appro priate, but rich and elegant, and throw a glamor and splendor about the place that is quite captivating. The main hall itself is lofty and wide, and would be imposing with out any decoration. And its grandeur is con siderably added to by the sweeping approach and tbe high columns, with their decorated Ionian cups, which support u handsome stono canopy over the portico. Entering tho hall, at either side are two largo reception rooms. These will bo used to entertain visitors, or those who have business in tho building. Tba rest of the lower floor will not be occupied for scholastlo purposes. On the second floor there is a magnificent series of class rooms. The stairway and bal ustrades leading to tbe upper apartments are very line. The material is cast Iron, moulded into artistic designs, and It shows off to great advantage. There are two stairways, one ascending In each ot tne wings. On the second floor, opposite the stairway, is the large assembly room, a spacious apart ment, capable ot accommodating from 100 :o 700 students. This will bo used as a main lecture hall. On the sinio floor are eleveu other commodious rooms, where various branches ot English and classic philosophy will be taught. AEBiXOEHEXT OF THE ItOOM'. In the arrangement of the rooms tho wel fare and comfort ot the student and professor hve been cared for. All tho apartments are spacious, light, airy, and well ventilated, and ample room Is provided for all the joungmen who will come to this philosophic lountain to refresh themselves and imbibe knowledge. Going to the floor above there are here about eighteen rooms. Most of them will be used for tbe purposes of instruction Iu scien tific lore. One of tbe main rooms will be used as a library, where a very valuable philosophic and scientific set of works will be kept, and which the students will have tree access to. On the next floor are several rooms which can be utilized for lectures or other purposes. The building throughout is almost fireproof. As little wood as possible has been used in tbe construction. Irou girders, iron stairway, and Iron wherever it was convenient to ue it has been employed. The floors and win dow sashes are the only portions of tho structure where lumber could not be dis pensed with. Over tbe main entrance are carved the words "science, philosophy, letters," and beneath, "McMabon Hall." "A hvrge dormitory is soon to be erected on the grounds for the accommodation of out-of-town students. This is a very necessary ad junct to the university. Tho majority ot the students are drawn from other cities, and the faculty is anxious to provide ample sleeping room for the young meu who will take the philosophical and theological course. it is saiu mat woric on tne new aormiiones will be started as soon as plans and other de tailed matter is arranged. They will occupy a position almost facing the main entrance to McMahon Hall and will be constructed of the same material as the structures already erected. IT IS SOW DESERTED. The university is now closed for tho Sum mer vacation. All the professors and stu dents have left the building, and will not re turn until September. Bishop Keane, rector ot tbe university, is in Home, and whllo there expects to meet the Pope on several occa sions nod lay before him tha condition and future of the school. The other professors ore away in various parts of the country. Some of them are attending the Catholic Summer school, which is now holding a four weeks' course in the Opera house, Platts jurg, on Lake Champlain. When the university term opens nevt fall it is expected that there will be a larger number of applicants ready to stand examination for admission than has ever been known before. The university has already established an in fluence in Catholic scholastic circles which outrivals those of any other like institution iu the country. Its establishment has also checked tbe flow ot students from this country to Europe. Many j oung men prior to the opening of university journeyed to the great French, Bel gium, and German schools, but within tho past two years there has been a gradual fall ing off, and quite a large percentage is now stopping at home. In tin course of a few years, when the faculty is enabled to put into operation the full machinery of theuniversity curriculum the emigration to foreign umver sites will be all but done away with. DOCTORS THE RICH. Allan .Mcl.anc Hamilton Is New York's .Most Aristocratic Plijsician. New York's most aristocratic and in some respects most eiolulvi physician is Allan McLane Hamilton, who was surgeon to Presi dent Garfield after ho was stricken by Guiteau's bullet, and who knows more, per haps, of the physical ills of New York's fash ionable set than any other man. Of course, there is some reason for this. In the first place Dr. Hamilton is a descendant of Alexander. In tho second he has few equals and, perhaps, no superiors as a surgeon and physician. It Is said that his income is S20.000 a year, but there is really no way ot gauging this matter. Dr. Hamilton is tall, dark of complexion, and dignified in carriago. In manner he is quick, sharp, and business-like, and his man ner is as brusque with a rich patient as with nny other. He is n man ot science when in his office and social lines are not recognized. Bather an overworked man is the doctor in these days. Like most other physicians of his standing, he lectures before colleges now and then, and he is a contributor to medical journals. Dr. Hamilton lives in good style, as he can well afford to. Coming of the stock he does, he Is part of the old conservative society of New York, but be has little taste for society and little time to indulge it if be had. He is naturally a conservative, and enjoys his studies and researches more than any mixing with the outside world.

The Police Inspector Will Have to Appear Before tho Investigating Commltte. New Yobk, July 21. Tho best known po lice official in New York city, except Superin tendent Byrnes, is Inspector Alexander Will iams. He is as fine a spooimen of vigorous manhood as you are apt to find in a day's walk. He is as full of fight as a fox terrier and as brave as a gunner in battle. When the senate investigating committee meets in the fall Williams will tie called be fore that body and hauled over the red hot coals for the purpose of finding out where he got all his money, and, incidentally, a great deal will ba aslted him about police corrup tion. Williams' friends say that he will make a good witness. Certainly his personal bear ing and general physique never failed to im Eress the beholder. His shoulders arebroad, is chest wide and ample, and, though of late years he has grown somewhat stout, it has not detracted from his almost military appearance. He is rather handsome still, on the whole, even if his hair is whitening rapidly and his mustache becoming streaked with gray. Personally the inspector is of frank, cheer ful disposition, which has ''gained for bim many friends. He has a remarkable stock o( reminiscences, and when he cores to tell tbem holds bis hearers spellbound. At a fire he di rects his men in person, and has a good word for every one, dovn to the patrolmen on duty. One of tho inspector's distinguishing marks is his cigar, which Is always in bis mouth, and which bids fair to become famed in local annals. As a matter of fact, be is not tho Heavy smoker he is often thought to be, as he is as fond of a dry smoke as any other. WON WITH AN EMPTY GUN. Col. Conger Tells What Persuasion Will Do. Chicago, July 21. "Talk about close places," said Col. A. L. Conger, ex-member ot the Republican national committee from Ohio, "I was in a desperate position once and was saved by an empty gun and a big bluff." Tbe colonel was smoking a cigar, surrounded by a group of friends, and was in a reminis cent mood. He was encouraged to relate the story. "It happened in Ohio several years ago," he began, "when there was a law in force to the effect that legal executions should not take place in public. In order to carry out tho law stockades had to be built around the scaffolds, and in many instances the peoplo tore down the visual obstruction and wit nessed tho banging in spite ot tho law. There was going to 1 n hanging in one of the rural districts, and I, as colonel ot the militia, was ordered by the Governor to take my regiment to the scene and protect tho stockade. We arrived on the morning ot the day of the execution and found the sheriff nnd his assistants building a nigh stockade or inclos uro around the gallons In front of tbe jail. A crowd of some 5,000 people had gathered in the town and threatened to prevent tbe erection of an inclosure. Istatloucd ray men around the jail aud at convenient points on the inside of the stockade. We had twelve rounds of ammunition, but .not a single mus ket was loaded. As the stockade neared com pletion tho thousands who came to see tbe execution stood in front ot tho jail. Some one yelled for a rope nnd soon one pro duced. A noose was made and it was thrown over a stockade picket and the latter was jeiked off by the crowd. That emboldened them and they came up, put the rope around ten or fifteen pickets and palings and started to pull. I took oat a large pocket knife and cut the rope. A yell of rage ami deri-ion greeted my act. In two minutes a longer ropo was slipped around the pickets. I tepped up tocut It again and vhen I reached tho stocka'de the gleam of a highly polised six shooter dazzled my ejes. "ou cut that rope, mister, and I'll blow your bruins out!" said a voice. "Ihe man holding the pistol near my head was a villainous looking customer, with to bacco juico running down the sides of his mouth. Ho bad a tierce look in bis eyes, and 1 felt that he was in earnest. But I knew it I walvered the stockade would be demolished in live minutes. Pivo feet from me stood one of my privates with a musket, but it was empty. Without hesitation I said: " 'Private, level jour musket at this man and blow his brains out if he attempts to shoot me.' "That private sever hesitated, but in stantly pointed his cocked musket at the fellow. Quick as a flash I cut the rope, and the man with the pl'tol never fired. The thousands in front saw it all, and they never tneJ to obstruct tbe erection oi tbe stockade nny more. But I took high chances on that bluff with any empty gunjand I never wish to be in such a tieklish place again." Assassination Statistics. From tbe Atlanta Constitution. It seems almost incredible that within the lifetime of a middle-aged man tho Czar of Russia (1S30, two Presidents of the United States (1965 and 1832),rrinco of Servia (1803), Duke of Tarma (1851), Prince of Montenegro (lfrCO), the President of the republio of Fr.iuce (1814). two or more Sultans of Turkey (1S7C and 1378), the rulers of Egypt, Jlorocco. and tho mayor of Chicago have been assassinated, whibi repeated attempts have been mado on the Hie ot the Emperor of Germany (1371 and 187S), tho Emperor of Austria '(1853), the Queen of England, Napoleon HI (1853). the King of Norwny, tne Emperor of Italy (1873), King of Spain (1S72), Queen ot Spain (185B), and others of tho rulers and high officials ot the countries inEuropo, including Bismarck, Lord Ljtton, Crispi (1391). He Likes Sunday. "I wish Sunday would coma twice every week," said PiOnald. His mother, thinking he was becoming interested in other than worldly things, felt highly pleased. "Why so, Bonnie?" she asked. "'Cus pa would have to give me 10 cents a week then fer keepin' still in meetln' 'stld of 5," said Bonald. Boston Courier, . The Only Cure. Mr. Norris I won't hear a word of it! It is too preposterous! Mrs. Norris Don't be severe with Dick, you know he has fallen in love. Mr. Norris (sharply) Well, can't he fall out again? Mrs. Norris (with a sigh) No, I'm afraid not without getting married. Brooklyn Life. Daring, Indeed. From tho Sacramento Union. A down-country contemporary says "it is not advice we want, but patronage." How dare our contemporary thus slap in the face the mighty army of men who think they know better how to run a newspaper than those who are in the business? - - ABOUT NOTED PEOPLE. A sister of the late Mr. Spurgeon recently preached in London. President Seth Low, of Columbia College, will 3nend tho Summer at Bar Harbor. General Booth, of the Salvation Army, and his captains of either sex, have been officially decided to ba ministers of religion within the moaning ot the law. Miss Edna Dean Proctor, poetess, wants to bo known as the apostle ot maize as the na tional flower. She considers Indian corn the distinctively American product.

Marshall Hall resounded yesterday with the shouts of 300 newsbojs ot Washington, who were enjoying their annual outing on the green lawns of that bistorio river resort. For ona day nt least they cast aside all thought of selling papers and indulged in baseball and the other games which are so familiar to the youth of Washington. When it became too hot on land for comfort the boys divested themselves of their clothing nnd enjoyed a bath or swim in the cooling waters of the Po tomac. Fishing and boating also occupied their attention in tbo afternoon and evening. Qjita a number of friends went to Marshall Hall on the G o'clock boat and watched the happy boj s as they fished or dhedtromthe shore and pior. At 9 o'clock everybody was tired and tne River Queen started on her return trip, reaching the city an hour later, and a more tired, happier lot of Washington small boys never scrambled over the steamer's gang plonk.
