DONATION DAY OBSERVED.
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hos
pital Given Start on Years Work.

Yesterday was donation day at the Ennis
copal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital and the
lady managers of the institution were busy
all day receiving gifts. Contributions of
all sorts continued to come In till late at
night, and to these are to be added the
donations from Hospital Sunday" as to-
day is known 1t was not possible to state
the full amount received yesterday, but
the cash donations last year amounted to
a little over $1S,300, and it was believed
that this year they would be somewhat
greater
The donations of provisions filled a large
room in the basement and included almost
every variety of preserved, canned. desic-
Gated and bottled eatabIes on the market.
Much of this was from dealers in Wash
ington to whom appeals had been made.
But there were many private contributions
Some of these were of tiny amounts, but
none the less valued, as they in many
cases represented a few pennies invested in
soap, package of crackers or a can of
vegetables from some grateful dispensary
patient.
The managers of the hospital were we'll
satisfied with the days work and said that
they wanted through The Star to thank
every one who had contributed This ac-
acknowledgement was in addition to a writ
ten receipt that was mailed Immediately
to each donor.
One of the board in speaking of the work
OF the hospital said: 1.-The name EpiscopaI
Hospital may be misleading 1t is true that
the management is sectarian, but its work
is by no means so. Taking the cases by
denominations. last year the Baptists and
Methodists both outnumbered the Episco-
ralians, while the Catholics were close
fourth The total cases treated last year
were 3, 1873 and there have been 1890 cases
treated and operated since the nstitu-
tion opened.
1--WE need all the money and other con-
tributions we can get to keep up the work.
1t grows steadily each year, and as we
are the only hospital in the city that does
not receive government aid we have to
work under a considerable handicap. But
we feel that we are doing a much needed
work and we want to warmly thank every
one who has helped US in it no matter how
small the help has been"

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
SMALLPOX SITUATION NOW Be
LIEvED TO BE REAssURINa.
No More Cases Result Of Recent Ex-
posure-Funera1 Of Harry B.
Van der Las.

After brief season of exciting develop
rnent the smallpox situation quieted down
perceptibly last evening and the health au-
thorities hope no more cases will result
from the exposure of so many clerks, police
men and other attaches of the District gov
ernment to possible infection from the Van
der Las brothers.
According to late report last night from
the smallpox hospital. David E. Van der
Las the surviving brother, and his baby
son. David E., jr-, were resting comfort
ably, both apparently out of danger. The
father, it is thought, will be so far re-
covered that he can be discharged from
quarantine in the very near future.
The funeral of Harry B. Van der Las,
victim of contagion innocently spead
by his brother, took place yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Van der Las, the widow,
who is confined to the quarantine station,
and Mrs. David Van der Las, who is un-
der quarantine in her home, have developed
no signs of possible infection.

HEPBURN ON THE TARIFF.
Says There Will Be No Revision at
Coming Session.

Special Dispatch to The Star
DES MONIES Iowa, October 2S.-In an
authorized interview here today Represen-
tative Peter II. Hepburn of the eighth dis
trict declared that there would be no tariff
revision at the coming session.
81 am satisfied said he, that the people
of this country do not believe there would
be any measure of advantage in suggested
tariff changes which would compensate for
the disturbance to business that would GER
tainly result from the effort to make the
change.
1.-The country is wonderfully prosperous.
The foreign trade is constantly increasing.
The exports of last year are SI0G00CO
more than those of the year before. The
balance between the exports and imports In
our favor is still increasing, and the ma
pority of the people, l believe, prefer to
enjoy the conditions we have rather than
fly TO the uncertainties attendant upon a
general overhauing of tariff schedules.
When asked il he favored a reduction OF
the tarif on Philippine products, Colonel
Hepburn replied that while he was not dis
posed to commit himself upon the issue in
advance of the meeting of Congress, he
nevertheless declared that he was satisfied
that even with the tariff on Philippine prod
ucts totally obliterated they would find
markets in countries nearer to them, and
that for years to come not a, pound of Phil
ippine sugar or tobacco would land upon
American shores.

RECORD OF SIX DAYS
AZ, ,14O VOTES ALREADY CAST IN
STAR CONTEST.
Many Schools That Are Working for
Collections Slow in Sending
in Ballots.

Twenty-nine buildings have entered The
Stars school competition up to date. After
only six days such Is the enthusiasm that
q total of 2,1i0 votes have been cast.
Already buildings of all classes have been
entered, those of the second and third
classes being most numerous The total list
is as follows: Gales, Force, Edmonds.

Webb, Monroe, Takoma, Toner, Peabody.
In looking over the votes to find the school
standing t is found that but one vote has
been sent in for the first class-high schools,
manual training schools and normal schools
The fact might be startling were it not
known from the visits of teachers to the
director in room 100, Star building, and
the many pleasant visits of the director to
the various high schools, that many are
working with vim to obtain the two collec-
tions allotted to the class
from some of the grade buildings also
where meetings with the supervisors and
teachers have been held, and where the
greatest activity in preparing votes has
been observed in some cases no votes and
in one case only five have been submitted
The thirty-nine buildings entered do not
therefore represent all that are working
and the director has expressed herself as
trusting that all schools will realize how
much the clerical work will be facilitated if
daily returns are made
