HILLSDALE SCHOOLS.
association Wants New
Building Conatructed


The Hillsdale Citizens Association met
Wednesday evening at Douglass Hall. after
long recess 1t was decided to continue
the officers who served formerly. Rev. c.
H. Parker, the president, presided, with
Henry Sayles secretary. The main topic
discussed was the fact that the new eight
room public school building, for which the
sum of 10000 was appropriated at the last
session of Congress, has not yet been
stated. This building Is intended to take
the place of the old Hllsdale School, on
Nichols avenue, which is to be torn down.
Henry Dorsey complained that only the
seventh and eighth grades are at present
given full days school, the reason being
the lack of proper accommodations for the
the pupils. r. H. Lewis said he
understood a modern building with ade-
quate accommodations could not be built
now for the sum appropriated. John Ship
pin said the old Hillsdale building Is UNI
healthy, and that IT Is reported to be In
a dangerous condition. Rev. G. NJ Lucas
advised that committee be sent 10 the
Commissioners to inquire into the cause of
the delay and ask that a larger appro-
priation be secured from Congress IL neces-
sary. Rev. c. H. Parker spoke in a SINH
lar way. After the matter had been fur
Their discussed the following committee was
appointed by the chairman to walt upon the
Commissioners about the construction of
the new building: Rev. c. H. Parker chair
man: Henry Sayles, r. II. Lewis William
Wills, John Shippin, William Weems and
J. H. Dale.

THE TREASURY ENRICHED.
Large Receipts Mark the Progress of
Charity Fair,

The Ladies of Charity, who, as heretofore
stated in The Star, are conducting a fair
at Carroll Hall for the benefit of the de-
serving poor generally, were greatly en-
couraged last evening by the large atten-
dance, which was fully equal to that OF the
opening last Monday evening. The various
tables We're patronized literally.
What is regarded as probably the most
pleasant incident of the fair thus far took
place shortly after II 80 O'Clock last night
after most of those connected with the fair
had left the hall for their homes At the
time mentioned a gentleman who declined
to give his name but who was recognized
as the proprietor of one of the lading no.
tells, quietly entered the fair room, and.
gong from one table to another, left a dol
lar note at one, five at another and ten
at another until he had disposed OF $50 In
this manner. In the space of a few min
utes the treasury of the fair was thus to
that extent enriched, while at the same
rne the tables were not depleted of a
single article.
The curiosity shop, which is a collection
OF rare and beautiful things from many
parts OF the world, had several articles Of
great value added to 1t yesterday. Among
these We're a cup and saucer used by
George Washington, now the property Of
Rev. Dr. Stafford, and a shell cane a cigar

OLD LANDMARK CONE
Demolition of Ancient Frame Build
ing on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The last Of the oAd-tirne frame buildings
on the direct line between the Capitol and
the Presidents house, known as No 926
Pennsylvania avenue, has disappeared in
the demolition of the wooden structure on
the south side of the avenue between 9th
and 10th streets, on the site of which Mr..
D. Laverone Is erectingta handsome three
story brick dwelling and1store. This leaves
but one frame with that space, the frame
portion of Mades' Hotel at the corner of
Sd street, which, though erected before
the civil war, is a substantial modern
building
The house demolishedawas one of the old
landmarks of ancient Washington, having
been erected in 1901 by Mr.. Joseph Ford
father of the late ]. N. Ford, who was for
many years in the Interior Department,
long a resident of South Washington and
grandfather of VIM. T. Ford of the pension
office. For many years the Fords lived adj
joining. and in the frame cottage the lead
ing millinery business of the city was con-
Quoted by Miss Sarah Hamilton, who pre-
coded Mrs Lowe, being located there in the
second and third decades of the century. In
1888 the heirs of the elder Ford sold the
premises to Mr.. VIM. Douglas, who built
an addition to the rear of the building.
1t became well known after Its purchase
by Mr.. VIM. Noell He established in it
Venetian blind nufactory-the only es-
Establishment of the kind in this section
and this article being extensively used,
both In the government and private build
lngs preceding the inside shutter and linen
curtains), his business rapidly grew In
carrying it on he associated with him, Mr.
George K. Boyd, the government patronage
being from all the departments and the
fashion of that day calling for such blinds,
at least in all parlor and front windows,
the firm had as much as it could do.
After the death of Mr.. NOEL, in 1890, at
his residence on 18th street, the Pennsyl-
vania avenue place was used, till a late
date. as n combination establishment for
fruits, confectionery, periodicals, papers,
toys cigars and tobacco Mr.. Laverone
bought the lot a few months ago for nearly
as many dollars as was paid for the ground
by the elder Ford, s115OO.

THE SCHLEY TESTIMONIAL.
Progress Made Toward Purchase of
Home for the Admiral.

Material progress toward securing a
home in this city for Rear Admiral W. s..
Schley vas made last evening at a meeting
held at the Arlington Hotel. Mrs. Char
lotte NJ Smith, president of the Woman's
Industrial and Patriotic League, repre-
sented that organization, the originator of
the movement, and Messrs. Isadore Saks,
T. E Roessle, o. G. Staples, DR.. G. L. Ma
gruder and w. A. Hungerford represented
the advisory committee. District Commits
sioner John w. Ross, who was expected to
preside, wrote that while he could not be
present, he could be relied upon to do
everything in his power to assist the move
ment.
by the Woman's Industrial and Patriotic
League ard stated that she has received
letters from every section Of the country
commencing the idea and promising finan-
ciai assistance. She said in a conversation
with her Admiral Schley expressed the
hope that no attempt would be made to
provide him with very costly home. All
he desired was a modest one, and he
trusted that women had started the
movement, they would continue to be the
controlling feature of IT. Mrs. Smith stated
however. that it is absolutely necessary
that WellknoWn business men shall be
identified with the project, and she there
fore suggested that they now take charge
of the matter, promising the continued sup
port OF the women.
After an informal discussion, Mr.. T. E.
Roessle was elected temporary chairman,
and Mr.. 1sadore S3ks temporary secretary
Commissioner Ross was chosen as perma-
nent chairman of the committee, which, 1t
was decided, shall be increased to 100, and
Mr.. o. G. Staples and DR.. G.. l.. Magruder
were requested to wait upon Mr.. Ross this
morning and request his acceptance of the
Craftsmanship of the committee. Mr.. w. A.
HungerfCrd was made permanent secre-
tary, and Mr. E. S. Johnson, president Of
the Citizens National Bank, was selected
as the treasurer of the committee.
Mr.. Frank B. Noyes, Mr.. Stilson Hutch
ms, DR., Dudley Morgan and Mr.. John S.
Schriver We're added to the general COM
mittee, and NJ nssrs. Beriah wilkins f. S.
Johnson, w, A. Hungerford Isadore Saks
and Edwin B. Hay were appointed a COM
mittee to formulate a plan of action and
report at the next meeting of the general
committee. The meeting then adjourned
subject to the call of the temporary chair
man.
Those present were very enthusiastic in
the matter, and no doubt was entertained
OF the complete and early success of the
movement.
Commissioner Ross this morning Informed
Mr.. o. G. Staples of the committee ap-
pointed to wait upon him that If the gem
eral committee Will provide an active vice
chairman he will gladly accept the position
of permanent chairman. 1t Is understood
that Mr.. Ross wishes in the matter will
be respected, and that he will therefore
be the chairman Of the general committee.

averages to be considered it is impossible
to predict which precinct will win the flag.
