CANNOT BE SAVED.
Captain McCalla'S Report on the Condition
of the Maria Teresa.

Captain McCalla, after examining the
Teresa, has wired the Navy Department
that in his opinion, it will be impossible
to rescue the ship. The captain sends a
a lengthy report, covering minute in
spection of the stranded warship. He says
that on his arrival on the wrecI; he hoisted
the American flag. Continuing, he says:

wreck Is stranded in FROM sixteen tn

With exception of few feet astern and for

into slight indentaton in the reef. After
striking the reef, the main mast was driven
up and broken off short below the spar

tirely over her, the inner bottom was
driven upwards from one AMI a-half TO two

general condition of wreck ia to say that

Reading Room
for the Blind.
YDI@Si9SfsSfi ssE
BY Mrs. Lizzie c. JOlliffe.

OF the many, many points of interest Of
the National Capital, none exceed in
beauty and gradeur the new Congressional
Library. One is struck by the remarkable
taste, style, ETC., displayed in architecture,
decoration and painting by many of Ameri
cas- well-known artists and designers.
Possibly one room with its pleasure giving
to the blind is not as wellknown to the
leries, etc , of this truly imposing and fine
structure which Congress has provided for
benefit of all within the walls of Washing
ton, to enjoy and admire.
The room for the blind is most delight
fully located on the first floor, with five
large windows ON two sides and high arched
ceiling with columns supporting the arch.
1t is most picturesque as well as commo-
dious and homelike room, fitted up with
quent it. Handsome chairs, tables, desks,
book shelves and grand piano make this an
ideal home room for any who should be so
fortunate as to know Of it, The low
shelves are filled with books for the blind
in raised letters; the New York Points
and the American Brill are on all shelves
where the blind may choose for themselves
what is interesting and instructive
This room is in charge of Miss Eta
Josselyn Griffin, of California, a most
charmingly cultivated woman with kind
sympathetic and gracious manners, who
makes all feel at home whether he be blind
or not, or whether like your correspondent
he goes to gain bit of information about
this cozy room and the visitors who daily
find their way thither.
Another charming feature of this room
are the reading inaugurated by Mrs. John
Russell Young for the pleasure of the blind,
who are deprived of so many of the joys
and pleasures one sees on all Sides
The readings are voluntary and one
would be surprised to know the many we'll
known writers, artists, scholars of all de-
scripton who daily contribute their part to
the pleasure of these poor helpless people.
The past season was rich in readings,
musicals, addresses etc.
