Construction and Maintenance
Canals Discussed by Mr.. Davis.

Construction and Maintenance of
Canals Discussed by Mr.. Davis.
A lecture on the isthmian canal and upon
the selection of a route therefor was de-
livered Friday night before the National
Geographic Society by Mr.. Arthur P.
Davis, chief photographer of the isthmian
canal commission. In his remarks Mr..
Davis pointed out that the value Of an
isthmian canal depends upon the differ
ence between the tolls charged and the ex-
pense it saved in shortening voyages and
in the transfer Of freights.
Comparisons were made of the most i'm
portant canals of the world. the Manches-
ter, the Suez, the Keil and the Sault Ste
Marie, and figures were furnished showing
the traffic in tons, with the annual cost Of
maintenance and operation of each, and
also the cost per ton-mile Of every ton of
traffic carried through the canals.
Comparisons were made also of the prob
able cost of operation and maintenance of
the Nicaraguan and Panama canals, and
also as to their relative utility.

GIFT TO DIR. STAFFORD.
MazzOlinfs Madonna to he Placed In
St. Patrick's Church.

A magnificent Madonna, painted by Clio
vanni Mazzolini of Genoa, Italy, was pre-
scented to Dr. Stafford ON the occasion of
his appointment as pastor of St. Patrick s
Church. The picture is to be placed in
the church and will be formally installed
on the day of the Feast of the Blessed Vir-
gin. The Madonna is very like the Ma
donna de Foligno of Raphael. Competent
critics insist, however that the Mazzolini
painting is an original. Seated on the
clouds, the Virgin holds the Child in her
lap and the two look down on the world
through an arc of bright light. A COM
pany of angels who look on the infant
from above and both sides complete the
composition. The donors name is with
held by request.

Der Hausschlissel," or THE Latchkey,"
a typical German comedy in two acts, by
Herr E. Herthe, was presented before
about 200 hearty Teutons last night in the
large hall of the Washington Saengerbund.
Members Of the bund were cast for the
characters Of the comedy and made it one
Of the most rollicking and laugh-inspirng
entertainments ever presented in that
building. The scenario concerns a small
German town with two houses opposed to
each other on opposite sides of the stage.
Herr w. F. Lutz, a member of the Saen-
gerbund, painted the scenery and was
highly complimented his work. Those
in the cast whose work excited most COM
ment were: A Levy, in the part Of Herr
Heimchen, henpecked husband; F. AL
trup, as Paul Norman, a drinking man;
Mrs Altrup, In the role Of Virginia, Mohr-
mans wife; Mrs F. Carl, in the part of

there is q rumor that some one in some

even worse than the 400 going to the horse

Frank Rocker, a local agent, secured

A planter from the Fiji group of islands

mule raisers on the Pacific slope stopped
raising the beasts at the wrong time.
