Federation any endorsenent of the P^n
for a temperance federation or evangeli-
cal denomination. ,
The Phoeni;: Presbytery urged the gen-
eral assembly to express its conviction
that the Anti-Saloon I/r.guo, both in its
National and State work, "has proven
n most effective and aggressive instru-
mtnt in promoting temperance reforms.
That it is the sense of the assembly that
the league -should have the hearty anc
lc*>dpi support of the Presbytery ami all
othfr churches, and that it is InadvisabL
to multiply the a^enclei in tho field of
temperance work." .
That these overtures will receive strong
rupport is conceded, hut none can he
found who is willing to predict the out-
come. Dr. James Patterson, president of
the Ohio Anti-Saloon league and onp ot
the commissioners- to th«f general assem-
bly said today: •'We arc perfectly will-
ing to submit the cause ot the Anti-Sa-
loon J> ague to the assembly. There will
fe no bitterness in tho discussion."
The assembly held but one session to-
dav, which was given ever to the con-
sideration and adoption of the report or
the committee on ministerial relief To-
night there was an evangelical rally at
Memorial Hall.

WHEN BROKE STAY IN NEW YORK
Advice of the Job-Seeker Who Finds
the Metropolis a Cheap Place.
A city official said the other day he
believed that no through train arrives at
the Grand Central station or at the ter-
minal stations across the North River
which doea not bring at least one indi-
vidual bent on trying his luck in New
Ycrk. Besides these tributaries, the sev-
eral steamship lines from Kurope and
South America add every week their
teekers after good fortune. Many of the
newcomers find it; many do not, and
eocner or later a proportion of these is
certain to be among those out of money
and adrift in the street.*
Not tramps- no, they are of a differ-
ent class, one that lives a hand to mouth
existence, waiting, waiting fur something
to turn up.
For one who lives "from hand to
mouth" there is no place better than
New York, according to tho explanation
given by a member of that class as he
sat in the City Hall Park.
"No small town for mine when I get
on the rocks," he said. '"Being: shabby,
3 can walk around the streets of New
York without attracting the slightest at-
tention by my appearance. In a village
or even in a small city somebody would
begin to watch me; I would be dis-
cussed in whispers in the corner grocery
store, and it wouldn't be long until the
town marshal would have me in the
lockup on suspicion.
"Then again, New York is one of the
very cheapest places in which one can
attempt to live, or exist. I've found it
so, and I know that others have, too. 1
have figured it out that a man can live
here on thirty cents a day; and when a
man lias a little bit saved up and is
willing to do almost any honest thing
to earn an extra dime or dollar he can
get along for months.
"There are restaurants only a few
toiccks from here where a meal can be
l-.ad for a nickel. Many free lunch places
a!so exist where a variety of food, to-
gether, of course, with a glass of beer,
can be obtained for the same amount.
Fifteen cents, therefore, will supply
three meals, and fifteen cents more will
get a night's lodging in any one of sev-
eral respectable, clean lodging houses.
"The nardest job a man out of work
has is keeping clean; and an appearance
ot cleanliness is very important whether
lie is looking for a job or for a quarter
t'j help him along until he finds the job.
I have found that the celluloid collar and
the celluloid shirt front, which, I migat
tell you in confidence, I wear over my
undershirt, make a good showing, and I
cun wash them in the fountain or under
a leaky hydrant, if necessary. And it's
no trick at all to keep clean shaven—
reasonably clran shaven—for all one has
to do is to go to the barber schools-
there are several of them."—New York

Special Telegram to The Express.
GALVESTON, Tex., May 18.—The
twenty-eighth annual convention of the
Texas Press Association adjourned this
afternoon at 4 o'clock to meet in Mineral
Wells next year.
The gathering in Galveston was pro-
nounced by officers and members the
most interesting and tho largest attended
reunion in the history of the organiza-
tion. The weather has been simply ideal,
and the program of socials and pleasures
has been all that could be expected, and
yet the visiting members declare by all
that is truthful that Galveston has done
itself and its people and its newspaper
men proud in the delightful series of
entertainments and amusements and little
pleasantries provided for the editors and
their ladies. As the guests of the Houston
Post, the members of the association
were taken to Houston this evening on a
special train.
The morning session of the third day
of the association was called to order
about 9:15 with only a small attendance.
Committee reports were taken up and
disposed of without much discussion.
A proposition in formal shape was pre-
sented by the Business League of Port
Lavaca to the association, whereby the
league offers to donate a tract of land
overlooking Matagorda Bay for a club
house or bungalow. The only condition is
that the association appoint a board of
trustees to whom the property may be
deeded. The donation is intended as a
resort for the members of the association
and their families. The donation was
accepted, and President Perkins appointed
(F. Lehman, Lee J. Rountree and E. C.
Hunter as the board of trustees to take
this property for the association.
President Perkins announced that the
association would adjourn at 3::?0 p. ni.
and at 4:.'lrt p. m. go to Houston in a
special train as the guests of the Hous-
ton Post, the train having been tendered
by Col. R. M. Johnston, president of the

WASHINGTON, May 18.—C. A. Ed-

Democratic committee clerk charged
with assaulting Aljandio Garland of the
Peruvian legation, made th£ following
statement tonight:
"1 was walking up Fourteenth Street,
when at Thomas Circle 1 met a couple,
a man and a woman. Evidently deeply
interested they butted Into me, and tak-
ing my hat off, I stepped off the side-
walk saying: 'I beg your pardon.' The
man said in broken English: 'You had
better get off the street.' Then I waded
into him and smashed him geed and
plenty. He cut me in the face and I
have the mark to show for it. I possioly
(lit him a whole lot but not with a
knife, not with a ring, not with any-
thing but my knuckles. 1 don't know

Garland is reported in a critical condi-
tion tonight.

She was only, a child when I kissed her

She didn't repulse me. That wasn't her

But when she grrw older I tried It again,
and, faith, you'd have thought it

She certainly wasn't affectionate then,
I'm,sure the antipodes heard her!
But when a man reaches a wall he can't

BUTTONS MAR FINE CHAIRS.
Hotel and Theater Managers Complain
of Dresses Fastened Down the Back.
In the Hotel Martha Washington the
head waitress walked gloomily to the
chair in which the elaborately dressed
woman had sat during luncheon. Re-
gretfully she examined the bark against
which the. woman had leaned. Then she
frowned.
Tho more simply gowned woman at the
next table inquired the head waitress's
reasons for her scrutiny.
"The buttons at the back of that wom-
an's dress,'' said the girl, "have scratch-
ed the back of the chair. And it isn't
only that one chair either. S<*e, here and
hero and here."
She laid her hand on half a dozen of
the nearby chairs. It was as she had
said. The inner back of each was
scratched.
"You see," she went on in explana-
tion, "it's all the fault of that fashion
that came in slowly from Paris last
summer and became' the rage last fall
and has continued ever sinee. Now all
dresses are buttoned at the. back, or,
rather, down the back. Not only are
the buttons rather hard, on the chairs,
but instead of buttons many women
use a series or row >f little stickpins.
These have elaborate heads and do more
damage. You know we have only wom-
en guests in the hotel except for male
visitors who dine with friends, and who
only get as far up as the parlor floor.
Just look *-it the chairs and sofas in
any woman's sitting room in the city
and see what you will see."
The woman found it as the waitress
had Indicated. She even found a theater
where they complained bitterly.
"It was had enough," said the hou«?«
manager, "when the ladies contented
themselves with pinning their hats to tho
b« ck of our finely upholstered seats in
front of them, but now with their but-
tons and button pins it is much worse."—
