THE Hula Girl" a clever burlesque by
the Brothers Harris. held the stage last
night at the Columbia Theater. The per-
formauce differed from the one given last

played BIZ maidens instead of men which

the Queen as effectively as before, which

the drawings could hardly have been more
satisfactory, as the men are so grouped
that the matches will be evenly played

the Clemons-Pomcroy match, to take
place tomorrow. as both of the men are
strong bidders for the championship and
their styles of play are very similar Mr.
O'Leary. the present champion, has
very hard program before him. and should

Wine FOR WARSHIPS
Members of w. c. I. I. Discuss
Illinois Christening.
NO APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Local White Ribboners Say They
VIII Use Water in the Ceremony
Soon to Be Performed-A Fashion
able Custom.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is continuing its crusade against
the ancient custom of christening vess Is
with wine or liquor i'm any form. The
fight is being directed especially against
the use of wine at the ceremony of nam
ing battleships just before launching, and
in the case of the Kentucky the w. c. t.
L. won a notable victory.
1t would seem as though there were
shoals ahead for the organization, how
ever as many of the fair women commits
stoned with the naming of battleships are
not white ribboners was the daughter
of the governor of Kentucky who chose
water in place of wine. The new battle
skip Illinois Is nearly completed, and Cos.
Tanner of that State has requested Miss
Mamie Letter, daughter of l. u. Letter
of this city, but formerly Of Chicago, to
christen the vessel at the launching. The
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
has requested Miss Letter to use water
on that occasion and has received very
noncommittal answer TO the request.
Mrs. Mable NJ Welch, one of the eX-
ecutive officers of the District Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. was ques
toned last night regarding the action of
Miss Letter, and the stand to be taken
by the organization.
81 am nearly certain that the Illinois
will be christened with wine" said Mrs
Welch. despite our request. Miss Letter
is n society woman and viii hardly de-
part from the fashionable custom of US
! ing wine on such an occasion. She is the
more certain 10 use wine because of the
ridicule which would follow the departure
from the custom and while /. with every
member of the Womans Christian Tenn
perance Union. viii join in plea that
water be used. / am afraid our request
will be fruitless.
4 understand that the matter is 10 be
left TO the governor to decide. but he will
hardly go against the popular desire"
Mrs. NJ. S. Ellis, another executive off,
Ger Of the Union. said:
Il believe the vessel will be christened
with wine. although we are doing all in
our power to prevent it. have not heard
of any petition 10 Secretary Long or
President Mckinley against the use of
wine but if one is star Of course, We
viii all sign it.
Our reasons FOR desiring the use of
water at such a ceremony is to take
liquor out Of one more custom and there
fore lessen the power of the stuff We
mortals are christened with good Pure
water when We begin our voyages
through life therefore why not start our
battleships out with good, pure water"
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union officers hope that Gov. Tanner will
interfere in their behalf. but if he does
not they viii not continue the fight so
far as the Illinois is concerned.

Sergt. Dobson was one of the most rop-
ular of the non-commissioned officers of
the District regiment, and his comrades
received the news of his death with genu-
inc sorrow. When the regiment left Cuba
the sergeant was i'll with typhoid fever,
but was not confined to his bed and as
sisted the nurses on board the Hudson
in caring for the sick. Last Tuesday
Sergt. Dobsons condition became alarm
ing, and his mother hurried to his side
He was taken TO New York Wednesday
and placed in St Peters Hospital, but
the authorities at the hospital would not
allow Mrs. Dobson to assist in nursing
her son, and she had him removed to the
Long Island City Hospital, where she
could be with him constantly. He grew
worse every day until yesterday morning
when he died.
Sergt. Dobson was a son of DR.. H A.
Dobson, of No. 100 Eleventh Street north
east. DR. Dobson is veteran of the civil
war, and member of Thomas Post No
Is, G. A. r. He lost a leg during the war
and a short time ago the old wound broke
out afresh and he has been unable to
walk since the departure of his son for
the front
The funeral will take place this after
noon at 3 o'clock The services will be
held at the Eastern Presbyterian Church.
