the hospital he began to fail rapidly, and
it became apparent he could not recover
Captain Barbour will be remembered as
one of the picked crew Of the yacht De
fender, which defeated the Nalkyrie Ill
last year. He was stricken with appen-
dicitis just previous to the international
races and was obliged to undergo an
operation. 1t was evidently from the eff
fects of this operation that the sickness
which caused his death resulted. The
deceased was "a, and belonged in Deer
Isle, Maine, where he leaves a widow and
one child. He was a most promising
young man and a son of Captain Benja-

The New England Home for Little
Wanderers.

The annual meeting of the Board of
Little Wanderers was held in Boston May
10Th. Hon. /. NJ. Mcpherson, President,
occupied the chair Supt. Rev. V. A.
Cooper, d. D., presented his 10th annual
report. Three hundred and eighty-six
children have been cared for; two hun
bred and forty We're given up to the Home,
and one hundred and forty-siX were tenn
porarily cared for. They came from the
six New England States and from New
Jersey, Illinois, California, Canada and
Syria. One hundred and thirty-ive have
hundred and thirty seven returned to
relatives and friends; seven have died.
The children have been cultivated in Nur-
sery, kindergarten, Primary and Gram
mar schools. Singing, as a means of cult
Walton, has been taught one hour a day
five days in the week. Daily devotions,
religious and temperance meetings and
Sunday schools have been important fac
tors in the moral transformations in these
neglected boys and girls. 1t is wonderful,
says the report, how readily child takes
on goodness. AS the flowers drink in the
sunshine and the grass the dew, so these
children seem glad to receive the truth.
The report condemned most emphatically
the bringing up of children in institutions
until they learn the art of living on charity
and loose the noble idea of self-support.
The demand for children is great on the
part OF childless American families, and
the local orphanages and poor houses Of
New England might be emptied of their
sentiment of unwise but well meaning
charity workers.

G. Brooks, shows the expenses for the
year to have been S27,277.o2, the income
from all sources, SIS, go. S. leaving a

The Theater Hnt

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
AS an old subscriber Of your most val
liable and reliable paper, and as one who
has never before this occasion done himself
the honor to address the editor Of great
daily, 1 may. perhaps. be allowed to say
that the remarks you make anent the pas
sage by one branch of the legislature of
Ohio of bill making 1t msdemeanor
for any woman to wear hat in any place
or public amusement, are calculated to
mislead those of your readers who like
myself. rely implicitly On what you say.
The theater hat may have been slightly
wounded by The Stars heavy thrusts but
1t Is by no means dead, or even dying, as
yet, as friend of mine and 1 discovered
to our great discomfort only last Tuesday
March -.
that is, in the front row of the orchestra
circle, and very nearly the middle of that
row. From such a position you would nat
urally suppose an uninterrupted view Of
the stage was assured. On the contrary
however, our enjoyment of the play was
entirely spoiled by two large hats imme-
d.ately i'll front of us in row Nj OF the or
chestra. These hats had large feathers
standing very erect and forming, as far as
we We're concerned, perpetual and most
aggravating act drop. In the row beyond
these were three other large hats, and at
least a dozen others beyond those, all hay
ing most irritat;ngly large feathers.
OF course, all the persons who wore those
hats may have been visitors from the rural
districts, but the fact remains that they
were there, and that they were an unmit!-
gated nuisance to my friend and myself
Now, while 1 do not think the situation Of
such gravity as to warrant the passage Of
any such bill as the Ohio measure for ope-
ration in Washington, yet l do think that
the managers Of our theaters should make
such regulations as would remedy the evil
for the large hat in theater is an evil,
and one of the worst kind at that.
Yours, faithfully,
OLD SUBSCRIBER.
