Let the Millionnires Come Forward.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star: a..
There are said to be seventy American
citizens whose aggregate wealth amounts
to six hundred millions of dollars, and there
are a thousand more whose aggregate
wealth amounts to a billion. Now is the
time for these people to come forward and
show their patriotism by extending to the
government the aid and relief which 1t
needs in its financial affairs. They could do
so without losing cent of their accumu-
lated millions, and they would never miss
the necessary investments and subscrfp-
lions which they may make for the pur-
pose. AS Mr.. Elkins said In the Senate.
I'VE are the richest nation In the world !"
and have everything We: need within our
own borders. We can show that we are a
thoroughly self-supporttng people, instead
of proclaiming to the world that we are
on the eve of bankruptcy. and putting our
selves at the mercy of foreign capitalists
and money changers. Our men of wealth
can make the measure of a popular loan a
great success and set the wheels of pros
perity. in motion again. Sc. l..,l.'..s d.

DEDICATED TO GODS Use,
The New Howard Presbyterian
Church Open to the
Public.
The First Church Was on Natoma
Street, but Later Removed to
Mission Near Third.

The new Howard Presbyterian Church
on Oak street, corner of Baker, was for
mally and appropriately dedicated yester-
day afternoon. With song and prayer the
beautiful building, gem OF the architect S
genius, was consecrated to the worship oil
God.
The floral decorations were simple, yet
exquisitely and tastefully arranged. Hy-
drangeas of the pink. blue and white va.
riety, with background of fern, made the
altar. temporarily, at least, a place OF
sweet scents which seemed to blend pleas
ingly with the eloquent and inspired
words of the several speakers.
The interior of the new church is di-
rect contradiction of most modern edifces.
Instead of being deep it is broad, tending
to create the effect of family gathering.
At both ends there are two galleries, in
tended ordinarily for classrooms, but
which can be connected with the audito-
rum should the occasion arise. just back
OF the rostrum stands the big organ,
around which there is sufficient room to
seat choral choir OF forty.
Long before the hour announcedSfor the
opening of the dedicatory services the 600
seats were filled. The galleries were
thrown open. and they, too, were soon
crowded to overhowing. The exercises
commenced with an organ prelude by
William +. Hooke, organist and musical
director. This was followed by the doxol-

Pleasure-seekers at the Park yesterday
were kept busy trying to read the inscrip-

steele adornment.
The "button craze" has already struck
the town, and threatens to throw all other
fads into the shade during the next few
months. One firm has already sent out
the advance guard in the shape of great
cards of miscellaneous buttons to be given
away with Its cigarettes. Pictures of Nc

is best that the trees which require many
years TO grow should be taken care OF
first. Flowers and grass-plats may be neg
lected for time, as it does not take long
to restore them, but if trees are allowed 10
die, and many of them in the district
west of Straw berry Hill are now six feet
or more high. it means from ten to twelve
years to restore them. There is danger of
that portion of the park becoming de-
nuded and that section becoming a will
derness again. The sand there does not
nourish the roots
A gentleman who was present during
the conversation suggested that the bridge
construction might be delayed for a year,
until the next appropriation is made.
Mr.. Rosenfeld, while OF the opinion that
that structure ought to be commenced
without delay, intimated that it might be-
come necessary to delay the work, and
added: "There are some who do not ap-
preciate the value of the park to the peo-
pie who come here for recreation. They
do things differently in the East. The
Merchants Association, composed of gen.
tlemen who understand the needs OF the
CITY as we'll as any set of men can, sug-
gested that liberal appropriation be made
for the park, but what they said did not
amount to anything"
What will be done will be discussed at
the next meeting of the Commissioners
and plans of operation will probably at
that time be decided upon.
The work of putting in the partitions in
the annex to the museum has been COM
pleted, and very small force of men are
t;nting the walls of the several depart

several displays to be exhibited in them.
When the cases in which the exhibits are
to be deposited are finished the place will
be ready to be thrown open to the public.
For want of room in the present building
the many contributions that have recently
been made to the museum have been
placed in a storeroom, and they will not
be put on exhibition until the annex is
completed.
The Grant monument is all ready to be

months since the trustees received an offer
