This is the largest contribution sent by
any society. This sum is more especially
appreciable when the fact is known that
Maryland has long ago expended the sum
Of sixteen thousand dollars to mark the
graves Of Confederate dead buried in her
own State. The sum asked from the 800
Camps al the South is only four thousand
dollars. a very small amount 10 mark the
unknown graves Of thirty thousand of the
Confederate dead. so long forgotten. only
twenty-five Camps have responded TO the
appeal sent out by Lee Camp six months
ago.

more than heroes Our Prison Dead"
IL is earnestly hoped that the responses
will be more numerous and that this blot
will not longer remain on our records OF
noble deeds.

pany Mr.. Arthur's play has met with
extraordinary success wherever and
whenever presented. It's run in New
York was practically unlimited, a long
engagement in Chicago followed, other
cities fell in line and now, after several
years, it is enjoying one of the greatest
triumphs Of its history, in London.
There are in the production the ele-
ments that have made The Old Home
stead and Shore Acres famous, neatly
blended with the essentials of such plays
as The Masqueraders' and others of q
realistic school. The charm of life and
atmosphere is never dropped, not even
in the sensationalism Of q scene in which
the villain Of the drama attempts to
place the unconscious hero on a buzz
saw. The plot is said to be strong and
fun Of real heart interest, while a comic
element, bubbling over with bright sit

throws into sharp contrast the sterneT
