erosity and TO the public to aid us by your
generous support, 10 enable the members

to erect temple that should be national
in its character, temple that will shed
luster upon the citizens of Washington
worthy OF the beautiful capital city,
temple that will rebound to Israel's glory
and credit to our beloved country at large.
1t would be unfair on my part to get you
here and to trespass upon your time, in
asmuch as our fair ladies who are so
anxious to offer their sweet labors upon
the altar OF this fair to assist us in our
noble mission.
Il, therefore, will give away to our
worthy chairman of the reception commit

grand privilege and pleasure it will be TO
present to you the highly esteemed and
honorable gentleman who SO kindly and
generously honored us by opening this fair.
Ladies and gentlemen, once more l bid

Hon. Simon Wolf, the chairman of the
invitation committee, then stepped forward
and said: Ladies and gentlemen, as chair
man of the committee on invitation and re-
cepton, it affords me the greatest pleasure
to have the honor OF Introducing to you the
Vice President of the United States"
VICE PRESIDENT STEVENSON.
Mr.. Stevenson was greeted very heartily
when he came forward. He said:

Itisunfortunate that the Old worIddid not
also have some sort Of Monroe to formulate
ali ingenious doctrine destin ed to protect it
against the encroachments Of others. We
might then be able to invoke its principles
against the attitude of the United States,
that seem to want to medtlle, without au-
thority, in the Eastern question. We are

who has just started out for Turkey on a
mission that is somewhat vague, under the
color OF bringing aid to the Armenians.
No, it is something far more serious. 1t is

Representatives of the United States. infavOr
Of Turkeys observance of the clauses of the
treaty Of Berlin. AS to the pretext for
Intervention, we must look for it in the
trouble which a few American missionaries
have experienced during the Armenian
difficulties.
But what will Europe say to this proposed
action OF the United States? Up to the
present England alone has spoken through
the mouth of Mr.. Chamberlain, who in
speech at Birmingham expressed the regret
that the United States and England. instead
Of disputing over trifle, should not come
to an understanding for settling the Ar
menian question. The English press has
made great many commentaries upon this
eventuality, which seems to please the
English journalists. Certainly the words
of Mr.. Chamberlain are strange but do they
not constitute simple Joke, addressed to
the United States, and destined to make
Americans understand their own intoler-
ance when they interfere with England
inregard to her Intervention in venezuela?-

Apart from the public desire to aid in
the design Of people who are foremost
the world over in generosity and beney-
olence, the Hebrew Fair is par excellence
the place to spend a pleasant and profitable
evening.
A good deed could not be better done
than amid the fragrance OF flowers, the
sweet strains of music, the spendor OF
the lights, the courtesy of the men and
the bright smiles of the iadies which make
the visions of the fair something to dream
about until the next night.
The corner stone of the new temple has
been laid, at least in the great hearts OF
the Washington people.

Down the center are the postoffice, the
lemonade, flowers, confectionery, and wo-
mans council, booths. Above the new
temple booth is stand for the orchestra
an excellent com mbinatiun which is directed
by Mr.. Goodman.
One of the most striking effects in the
construction of the booths is that they fol-
low the Doric style OF architecture. There
are very graceful Doric columns and pedi-
ments ON nearly all the facades. If this
was an accident it is a most fortunate one,
for it presents many miniatures of the most
graceful temples in old or new architec-
ture.
The uniformity of this effect is relieved
OF mOnotony by the varied and multi-eol-
ored roofs which are as lovely as dreams of
the palaces and bowers of fairy land.
Each booth has distinctive coloring from
the pale yellow and white OF the George
town booth to the royal purple of that
of the administration. Red, white, blues
green, yellow, orange, and purple have
been deftly intertwined on the columns
and roofs, under which are thousands of
good, useful, and sparkling things, which
are to be had for considerations which win
beexplained by the bevies of charming young
and middle-aged ladies who preside over
their respective booths.
UNDER SPARKLING LIGHTS.
A glimpse 10y day will give no idea of the
scenic splendor Of the hall. The magic
transformation under the glare and glitter
Of the electric lights took place at pre-

The fair being thus fornslly opened. the

interest. Vice p resident Stevenson and
Mr. Norris, accompanied by Mr.. Wolf and

visiting the booths and admiring the ex-

The Sherwood Quartette.

The vocal talent composing the Sherwood Quartette, which is to psesent the third act of Faust and appear in the miscellaneous part of the program with thefamous pianist at the Opera-house Saturday night, has, perhaps, received stronger re- eognition from the worlds greatest artists than most of the musie-loying people are aware of. Since appear ing before the public as the Sher- wood Quartette, each member of the company has had fiattering offer to continue studies, in Europe with promise of engagements with the largest companies on the continent. Aside from the remarkable talent too much cannot be said in praise oi each after the untiring and ambitious efforts shown to reach the highest standard in the beautiful art. In his selection of the singers Mir. Sherwood exercised the most careful judgment, as shown by results in their work together.
 Miss Jennie Osborn possesses a full, fresh, mezzo-soprano of remark able range. She is wonderfully gifted in many ways and it will be of interest to know that she is able to sing any tone called for without the aid of an instrument.
 Miss Mabelle Crawford, the other lady member of the company has a voice which resembles the world $ famous Scalchi so closely that she is known among musicians as the American Scalchi.
 Mir Frank s. Hannah, the tennor, although a young man, has mani fested greet talent and the wonder ful sweetness of his voice and his magnificent stage presence makes him an ideal Faust.
 MT. W. Alton Derrick, in his strong character of Mephistoles, has made thrilling success.

HERMAN CARL TON LODGE, ROYAL ARcANUM ITO ASSIST IN ESTABLISHING ONE IN
 PINE BLUFF.
It wn Be Operated In Conjunction with the Private sanlsarium of Drs.
 orto and Runyan.

Pine Bluff will soon have charity hospital where the poor and unfor- tunate can receive nursing and med ical attention free of cost That this is so is largely due to those ex- eellent physicians, Drs. z. Orto and J. P. Runyan, aided by that grand benevolent order, the Royal Area mum.
 Recently Drs. Orto and Runyan purchased the Brunson property on West Fifth avenue for the purpose of converting it into private sani- tarium. It will be fitted up with all the modern improvements known to science and the medical profes- sion.
 The house is large one, and in it is much more room than the physi- clans will need for their own use, so recently they made a proposition to Herman Carlton Lodge No. 218, Royal Arcanum, that if that Lodge would lend them the g., GOO now ly- ing idle in the hands of the treasury Of the lodgef or five years that with this sum they would fit up the building for a charity hospital, where charity patients might be properly cared for and rendered medical attention.
 Last night at a meeting of Her man Carlton Lodge the proposition was unanimously accepted, and the work of fitting up the building as a sanitarium and hospital will be be- gun at an early day.
 No courageous diseases will be treated or be allowed to enter the hospital and the institution prom ises to be great blessing to our city.
