Board of Childrcn's Guardians nm
Associated Charities

Board of Chfldren's Guardians and
Associated Charities.
Mr.. Herbert w. Lewis, the agent of the
board of children's guardians has written
letter to the general secretary of the
Associated Charities which Is very peril
nent at the present time, when efforts are
being made to secure more complete CO.
operation between the various charitable
institutions of the city. In his letter Mr.
Lewis says: s5---e-
THE agents and visitors of the Asso-
ciated Charities will, no doubt, frequently
have knowledge of children abused aban-
doned, morally exposed, or found in cir
cumstances of hurtful poverty, anu who
can best be protected and relieved by the
exercise of the authority given the courts
of the District to place such children in
the custody of the board of children's guar
dians. 1 understand it to be the policy of
the Associated Charities to refer to ap-
propriate agencies for assistance all cases
coming to the notice of its agents. and to
keep, for reference and guidance, complete
records of families and individuals seeking
relief or found subject to the operations
of the charitable agencies of the District
Believing that such a policy will pro-
mote scientific administration, prevent
abuses, cut offsimpostors and at the same
time furnish more adequate and satisfac-
tory assistance in really deserving cases
properly dependent upon the people of the
District of Columbia, 1 request that you
report to the board Of children's guardians
all children belonging to the District of
Columbia who appear to you to be entitled
to the benefits provided for its wards.
II also direct your attention to the per-
manence and authoritative character of
the guardianship of the board over chill
dren placed under its protection by the
courts of the District, as provided for in
the law This 1 believe to be in harmony
with the true principles of charity organ
ization, which take fer their motto, Not
alms, but a friend H 80. .
"I can assure YOU of prompt and ef-
fective action in cases reported by you
and of my desire to establish the closest
cooperation at all points where the work
of the board of childrens guardians ap-
proaches that Of the Associated Chart
ties"

AMUsEMENTs.

Miss Howe's Operatic Debut.-A matinee
performance of the Bohemian Grip is or
dinarily an occasion which passes without
much note, excepting among those whose
devotion to Balfe's tuneful strains has lin
gered through the years. But the one which
occurred at the Columbia Theater Satur-
day afternoon was an occasion Of much
local interest. The role Of Airline was per-
formed by Miss Mary Helen Howe. whose
progress as a student of music has been
such as to command favorable comment.
both from her friends and from disinter-
ested observers. Her debut promised well
for her future, and her membership in the
Metropolitan Opera Company will give her
an opportunity to further improve the tai
ents she has already displayed. There is a
vast difference between debut among
strangers and one which occurs among
those severest and frankest of critics, per-
sonal acQuaintances. 1t Is also an under
taking of some magnitude to perform role
SO well known as Airline. 1T invites COM
parison with the very highest standards Of
vocal excellence. Notwithstanding these
circumstances, the verdict was unanimously
to the effect that she had met the test with
the greatest credit. A great point in her
favor was the fact that she had accurately
memortzed her part, and left no chance for
any interruption Of the smoothness Of the
performance. There was no wavering or
hesitation in her work, and her voice
showed In gratifying degree the results OF
careful training combined with musical
taste and determination to succeed. Sig
nor Montegriffo sang the role of Thaddeus
with melodious vim, and Edward Knight
was excellent in the comedy character Of
"Devilshoof." Miss Lizzie Macnichol was
charming in her impersonation of the
Gypsy Queen" as she is in anything that
she undertakes. Flowers in lavish quanti-
ties were passed over the footHghts to Miss
Howe. and they were no more generous in
their nrOfuSinn than the UytShaS hpr
tinued success that went with her from the
audience.

Quackery is always discovering
remedies which will act upon the
germs of disease directly and kill
them. But no discovery has ever
yet been approved by doctors which
will cure consumption that way.
Germs can only be killed by making
the body strong enough to over
come them, and the early use of such
a remedy as SCOTS Emulsion is one
of the helps. In the daily warfare

She Appears Before IA Large Audience
ut Calvary Church..
There was a large congregation at Cal
vary Baptist Church yesterday to see and
hear Mrs Booth-Tucker. Standing room
even was exhausted. Mrs. Booth-Tucker
was on the way from New York to St.
Louis, and spent but a day here. With her
on the platform were Brigadier William
Evans, Brigadier Susie Swift, Brigadier
Alice Lewis, and Staff Captain Blanche
Cox, the only local representative of the
army.
After Salvation Army hymns were sung,
the audience joining in the chorus, Briga-
der Susie Swift was introduced. She is
connected with the Salvation Army papers.
She told in an entertaining way how she
joined the army. She first sought the army
barracks in Scotland searching for a news
paper story. She was converted and en-
tered on the work. She told some of the in
cidents of her work in Chicago in founding
home for outcaSt women, and explained
that people could find religion well in a
low saloon as in elegant churches.
Brigadier Evans then introduced Mrs.
Booth-Tucker. The distinguished Saliva
ZIONIST took for her text the Sixty-eighth
Psalm. She said this Psalm was a COM
mand on the Salvation Army to accept the
WORD Of the Lord as its motive, and go
forth into the dark places. The principal
duty Of soldiers was to serve without fear.
Summed up in a few words, the command
Of the Psalm was to furnish light for
places that heretofore had been dark. Mrs
Booth-Tucker thanked the people of Wash
ington for their interest in the local or
ganization of the army. She felt certain
they would receive their reward either
here or hereafter, and hoped they would
not allow their interest to lag.
)! Brigadier Lewis announced that deriial
week begins today, and concluded her re-
marks with prayer. Mrs. Booth-Tucker
also offered prayer before the close of the
service. An invitation was extended to join
the Auxiliary Association, and a number of
signatures were secured. Mrs. Booth-Tuck-
er held meeting in the evening at Foun-
dry M. E. Church.
II Mrs. Booth-Tucker is a tall, fine-looking
woman, resembling her father in features
She speaks with a rich, strong voice. and is
cultivated. well-poised woman. While
here, she was the guest Of Mr.. and Mrs H.
3. F. Macfarland.
Speaking of the work of founding homes
for Armenian exiles in this country, Mrs.
Bcoth-Tucker said the work was progress
ing hopefully. These people were given
temporary shelter at the Salvation farm at
Railway, N. j., and many have already
found permanent occupations in New Eng
land and the middle states.
Today, she said, the home for ex-conyicts
would be opened in California, where a fine
farm Of $50 acres has been fitted up for
this needed work Of reform.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker leaves today for ST
Louis to attend the worlds W. c. T. ~
convention. She will address the conven-
ton on methods Of Salvation Army work
