IN INTEREST OF BELL HOME.
Mass Meeting to Discuss Needs Of the
Institution.

Announcement is made that mass meet
ing in the interest of the Bell Home will
be held tomorrow evening at the Church of
the Ascension, 18th street and Massachu-
sets avenue northwest. The object and
work Of this most worthy charity will be set
forth by the speakers and an appeal made
Tor help to erect a new building for the
comfort of the needy children under the
care OF the managers of the home.
1t is stated that the management "has
reached point where no further progress
can be made in the work until this great
need is supplied. There are twenty seven
children belonging to the home twenty-five
of/whom have to occupy the present build
Ing there being no room for the other two),
which was formerly private residence and
was never intended for a family of more
than six or eight; but now it shelters
Counting the superintendent and her as
sstants) twenty-eight.''
Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee, bishop of Wash
lngton, has written a strong Endorsement of
the charitable institution The managers
state that in the present cramped quarters
there is scarcely elbow room for the
children, and that many needy little ones
are kept from the benefits of the home.

Symphony Orchestra

Next Friday afternoon at 4:3O O'Clock.
January q. the fourth symphony concert
OF the afternoon series will be given at the
Lafayette Theater, in place of the one an
nounced for February II next. The fifth
afternoon concert will be given at the same
theater the following Friday afternoon,
February 3 Two more of the popular Sun
day night concerts will be given at Chase's
Theater, the first next Sunday evening and
the second and last Sunday night, February
5. The series of educational concerts has
been abandoned, beginning with the concert
announced for tomorrow afternoon at the
Lafayette Theater. This arrangement will
bring to speedy conclusion the Washing
ton Symphony Orchestras musical season
of popular and symphony and educational
concerts. The reason is that despite the
acknowledged merits of the organization
and the unprecedented cheapness of the
prices charged for the various events, the
public has not rallied to the financial sup
port of the organization either as promptly
or as substantially as has been necessary.
1t is hoped that even now public interest
may be awakened by the crisis confronting
the orchestra, and by liberal subscription
of cash funds make 1t possible for Mr.. de
Koven and his associates to continue their
musical missionary work. big testimonial
concert for the benefit of the musicians is
being considered and arranged.

to be treated for injuries received by
fall. He was employed on the work as an
engineer in charge of one of the stationary

tunnel. None of the other employees saw
him fall, and he remained on the ground
several minutes before assistance reached

suffering from shock. When the hospital
was reached the surgeons discovered that
his condition was serious, but they say he
may recover. The injured man lived at

Much Smoke, Little Fire.

. An alarm of fire was sounded last night
about $50 O'Clock for blaze at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Carrie Nye, S07 l. street
northwest, and owing to the prompt meas
ures taken by Mrs. Nye serious blaze
was averted. The fire was discovered over
the kitchen range by a maid, who tele-
phoned fire alarm headquarters. In the
meantime Mrs. Nye had been summoned
frcm another part of the house and with
much presence of mind and courage entered
the smoke-filled kitchen and sought to stay
the progress of the flames with a garden
hose until the arrival of No. engine COM
pany which soon had the blaze under con-
troll. Mrs. Nye then entertained the mem
bers of the department at an informal re-
past. The blaze is thought to have been
caused by defective flue.

Franz Won vecsey, Violinist.

Franz Won Vecsey, the boy violinist, was
heard at the Columbia Theater yesterday
afternoon In the audience was nearly
every violinist in town, eager to find out
whether the praise that had been lavished
upon this Hungarian child was justified.
The verdict at the conclusion of the per-
Torrance was that the boy was a wonder.
He was heard in a Wieniawski sonata,
Bachs air and prelude, Hubay's Carmen
Fantasia and Paganinis Dance of the
Witches" He displayed a technical skill
that was simply marvellous. Passage
that had taken great violinists of mature
years nearly their whole career to acquire
properly were played by this boy of twelve
with the greatest ease. His breadth in
quality of tone were also remarkable and
he manifested a higher intellectual grasp
of the meaning of that which he played
than is usually the case in juvenile prodi-
giles. This was apparent particularly in
the first part of the Bach air and prelude
and in the "Traumerie, which he played
as an encore. His pyrotechnic display of
mechanical dexterity in the Carmen fam
taSy and in the Paganini number was
dazzling in it's brilliancy. He created the
utmost enthusiasm by his performance and
again ard again was he recalled after every
number. The question whether he is a
Seiius VI siInply d proulSy VIII depend on
his future development 1t is understood
that after this seasons tour his parents
will withdraw him from public life and at

his mind has been absorbed in his violin
studies. If they are subordinated to the
general development of his mind he NAV

and great artist.
