announcement for Men to

| Certain public-Spifited gentlemen OF
Honolulu have taken steps to make
the Hagey Institute a permanent insti-
tuition. A number of persons have
been treated by the men now in charge,
and the great good that has been done
has commended the institution to the
men who will endeavor to make it d
lpermanency.
| Alexander Young, w. r. Castle, j.
A. Magoon, A. V. Gear and others are
at the head of the project Mr.. Castle
will today draft a preamble for a cor
poration, and as rapidly as possible
the business will be put on solid and
influential basis.
When seen about the matter last
might Mr.. Young said
I'VE believe the Hagey Institute TO
be a grand thing, and purpose making
lit a permanent institution. To do
this we will incorporate, perhaps at
$4,000, with permission to increase to
100000. Shares will be $10O, and will
not be transferable. A limit will prob
ably be imposed upon the number of
shares each subscriber may own. At
least five-eighths of the stock will be
owned by Honolulu parties, to make it
Ia home institution. third, or per-
haps, three-eighths, will be owned by
the gentlemen now in charge.
"a principal thing to be understood
all around is that the institution will
not be a money making scheme. l de-
clined to have anything to do with it
OF that basis. The idea we will work
on is this: All money realized over
4 per cent will go into a standing fund.
This fund will be used to pay the fees
of men who need the cure, and are not
able financially to take it. Upon this
basis we will work, and hope to carry
the greatest good to the largest num-
Der of our citizens. Profits we do not
want in an enterprise having such
purpose.
"A building for the institute? Well,
that is a future consideration. In fact,
many of the details of the project have
nOC yet DeSu arranged. Il he ScnSmS Is
still in a projected state. A home for
the institute has been suggested and
may be built. The suggestion is of a
two-story building, with
social halls, reading rooms, bath
rooms, and a hall for entertainments
L will see Mr.. Castle tomorrow Mon
day. and we will probably complete ar
at once
One of the Hagey gentlemen was seen
and gave the identical facts regarding
the project. He said the present pro
motors would go into the scheme gen
erously Their ideal in the project is
the erection of a fine building, one that
would accommodate every feature Ct
the work, and would be a credit TO the
town. While they have Institutes in
20 cities OF the United States, build
ing has never been erected a home
of its own would, therefore, be great
credit to the Honolulu organization
After the company has been organ
lied and the work is well under way,
one or two of the original promoters
will go to Auckland, \. T., there TO
start another institute. However. the
one in Honolulu, the one in which
they will be most interested, will re-

Honor to Whom Honor Is Due.

To the Editor OF The Times:
In this time Of the elimination of the
grand building which has been dedicated
| by Congress TO literature and art, and
which challenges the wonder amt admira-
tion OF the world, ii is but fair 10 turn
a leaf backward in its history and give
the credit and glory OF its conception and
achievement TO those TO whom it belongs.
In the Fifty-first Congress the Hon.
Otho r. Singleton, Of Mississippi. as chair
man of the library committee, zeaIousIy
labored on the plans and appropriations
necessary to inaugurace the beautiful
building which BOW stands before us in
marvellous beauty and grandeur, rivaling
the models OF aesthetic Greece, of ornate
Rome, and the more modern architecture
n the empires of Europe
Various designs were submitted TO the
committee, and the present noble one was
selected and placed before the House by
Mr.. Singleton, who ardently advocated
the plan; and 10 his personal influence
with members and Senators with whom
he had so long been associated, and by
whom ne was greatly beloved, added to
his zeal in the matter, We're due the
fact that his wishes were accorded, and
a large vote was given in favor Of the
design and for the appropriation necessary
to commence the building OF the New
Library
TO Hon. otho r. Singleton, the Repre-
sentative who advocated and gave his
whole time and labor to the work; to Gen.
Thomas F. Casey, L. = A. who found an
untimely grave by overwOrk inits erection,
and to the generous Congress that voted
for the design and appropriation, belong
the honor and glory OF this grand structure,
which so nobly rearS it's dome a a crOwn-
ing act OF Americas love OF art, in spite
OF the name she borne for love of the
almighty dollar and an overweening
"eye for the main chance to the ex-
ciusion of greater matters

bridges Across the River.

To the Editor OF The Times:
AS a taxpayer of the District l have
always been a great advocate for more
bridge facilities over the Eastern Branch
OF the Potomac, and with pleasure 1 see
from your worthy paper that MI. Bab-
cock, chairman of the Honse Committee,
has made a favorable report for bridge
spanning the Eastern Branch at the foot
OF Massachusetts avenue. This is I'M
doubtediy meritorious work IN that d.
rection. but first and foremost, 1 think,
Congress should realize the great import
ance of making an early appropriation for
the construction OF u South Capitol street
bridge. There has been 4 struggle for
the last ten years by our citizens in Con
gress for bridge from, or near, the foot
OF South Capitol street to GiesborO. Con
greSs has given US u survey for the SAME i,
aud as the joint committees OF Congress
are thoroughly familiar with the general
and growing importance of this much
needed enterprise, therefore L sincerely
hope the good citizens of the District and
southern Maryland willunite and urge their
bills that are now pending before the two
branches of Congress II. S. HALEY

The EXPRESS CAR LOOTED
A Train on the Southern Held Up
i'm Alabama.
But Few Details Are Obtainabl as
the Officials Are Retic ent-The
Amount Stolen Unknown.

Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 21.-Train-rot,-
berS got in their work again last night
on Southern passenger train. The hold.up
was, as on the previous occasion, at Berry
Station, on tile Birmingham and Green
vile division, and within 300 yards OF
the previous occurrence.
Details are meager, as the officials are
very reticent and used every effort to keep
the affair sub rosa, but enough is known
to say that the express car was looted.
This assertion is warranted, as it is
known that Express gent HALEY received
a telegram about 8 O'Clock which said in
substance: Train held up near same place
beyond Berry station. Send Burns"
As soon as possible a special was gotten
from the Southern round-house and yards
and Special Detective T. R. Burns, with
posse, left for the scene.
The robbers, it is supposed. boarded the
train at Berry Station, and when a large
stream was reached got into the engine
and made the engineer halt the train
The express car was forced open, and the
safe looted and then the engineer was
ordered to pull out.
1t is impossible to learn the amount OF
money in the safe, as the company's agent

The bad blood between Joe Donoghue
and John Nilsson shows no sign of abate-
ment, and their meeting at Stamford, Conn,
promises to be a memorable struggle. No
event since the great hundred-mile race, in
which Donoghue defeated John Ennis has
attracted the same attention. Though
Donoghue says he will beat Nilsson in
every event, and Nilsson declares the ex-
champion is afraid of him, it is very likely
mutual fear which inspires their oratory.

CRACK SKATERS WILL MEET
The Championship Contests at the
Ice Palace Next Week.
The Rink Closed Monday and Tues
day Evenings for Guard Drill-A
Hockey Game on Wednesday.

Skaters who intend visiting the Ice
Palace, at Convention Hall, next week, on
Monday and Tuesday evenings, will be
disappointed, as the rink Will be closed
on those two evenings. The morning and
afternoon sessions, however, will be run
in full blast, and the only time lost to
the skaters of the city will be during those
two evenings The National Guard begins
next week, and this, OF course, prevents
the rink from being open to the public at
that time.
Wednesday evening, at S O'Clock, the
AllWashington hockey team will try con-
clusions with the strong hockey team from
Johns Hopkins University, while on Thurs
day, Friday, and Saturday evenings races
VIII be held for the championship of the
District and the State of Maryland This
hockey game is the first that has been held
here this season, and viii attract the at
tention of all skaters, and those interested
in the game in this part OF the country.
The Johns Hopkins team is exceptionally
strong, and succeeded in playing tie
game with Yale during the early part of
this season. If the Washington players
succeed in holding them down TO any
marked degree it Will show that the Cap
ital City deserves to rank very high in
this new sport. The races which will
be held have attracted considerable atten-
ton, and it is expected that nearly every
one in this vicinity who is at all able to
put on any team will enter.
Some very good men, however, Will com
pete, including Harry Sites, the present
wearer of the championship medal; LIE Mat
Hughes, Lewis, Hawes, and good many
others, some of whom have only come into
public notice on account of their good
work on the racing steels this year. The
races will be for three miles, two miles,
and one mile, each race taking place on
separate evening. Suitable medals will
be provided by the management for each
event, and counting up the points at
tached to first, a second, or third, the
man having the most to his credit at the
end of the meet will be presented with
the championship medal

at the residence OF Alonzo G. Hayes, who
was recently appointed justice Of the
peace. and sat with Justice Supplee in the
trial of the cases The place is about four
miles from Rcsslyn, in Alexandria county,

body expected something interesting, and
in this they were not entirely disappointed.

NILSSON AND DoNoGHuE.
They Are Both at Stamford and
Still Bluffing.

Stamford, Conn, Jan. 21.--A very inter
estiag program was arranged for the sec
ond day of the ana teur skating champion
ship meeting OF the National Amateur
Skating Association OF America, which is
being held on the half-mile course at the
Cove Pond, Stamford. The three heats of
the amateur mile championship and one
mile handicap comprised the am nateur
events, but the principal interest centered
in the three professional races.
These were the quarter mile and one and
three-mile scratch races. The entries In
each event were Howard p Mosher, OF
Storm King, N. Y; John Nilsson, OF Min
neapolis, and william j. Let's, OF the New
York Skating Club.
Joe Donoghue, who has been staying at
the Grand Union Hotel since the meeting
opened, had not sent in his entry up to an
early hour this morning, although he stated
he was going to enter. There is consider
able bitterness between ID Donogbue and Mis-
son, and the Minneapolis crack has stated
openly that il Donoghue does not enter it
will be because the Newburg man is afraid.
The absence OF Donoghue Will rob the
events OF good deal OF interest.
