Schooner Disappears.

The schooner Maggie A. Phillips, which,
with her crew. disappeared on a voyage
from Baltimore to the Bahamas, is the sec
ond vessel well known at this city which
has been swallowed up by old ocean In the
past year, leaving no trace of the vessel or
crew TO tell its fate. Early in the fall of
last year the two-masted schooner Dora,
which had unloaded a cargo of lumber
here a few weeks before, sailed from
Charleston for New York. laden with pine
lumber. The owners OF the vessel, who re-
sided in this city. received a message from
Capt. Ernest Martina from the tugboat
that carried the Dora over Charleston bar,
and from that day there has been no trace
OF the vessel. II she was passed at sea by
vessels they failed to report her. and no
trace of wreckage of the schooner has been
found.
The Dora WAS laden with lumber, which
should have prevented her from sinking.
and the hulk should have fioated around
even had she been abandoned by her crew.
The vessel and crew have disappeared as
completely If they never existed Some
information may yet be obtained to give a
clue 20 her fate. but all hope was given UP
months ago.

OPEN MEETING HELD.

dressed by Prominent Speakers.

The fourth of series of semi -uonthiy
open meetings. given under the auspices of
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union. was
held last night at Coed Samaritan Home.
Many visitors were present from other tenn
perance organizations. among those repre-
scented being the Sons of Jonadab. Union
Tent Of Rechabites and Traternai Sons of
Jonadabs. A delegation of the Holy Name
Society Of st. Matthew's Church was also
in attendance.
The meeting was called to order at $50
by President Thomas Maloney, who well
coined the visitors. and then turned ever the
gavel to Mr.. William F. Downey, who pre-
sided during the exercises.
Mr.. Downey called upon Rev. Father Lee,
rector OF ST. Matthews Church. for al ad-
dress. and Father Lee arose to address
the meeting he was greeted with great ap-
pause He said, in part:
Il have given this question of temperance
a careful study. During my forty years in
the priesthood l have witnessed many OBJ
ject lessons while dealing with this i'm
portant question Some men can. 1t is said,
indulge In moderate amount of alcoholic
stimulants without becoming intoxicated;
then. again, others cannot. For the class
who cannot indulge in a moderate amount
OF the beverages without becoming intoxi-
Gated the only safeguard, in my opinion, is
total abstinence"
Father Lee told of a visit he once made to
Rome. and said during his stay of six years
III the Eternai city he saw put one drunken
person.
The next speaker was Judge ]. w. Nichol
OF Pioneer Council. Sons of Jonadab. He
complimented the organization for the work
1t Is doing, and told a story of the life of
the great temperance reformer, John B.
Cough.
Il met this good man out in Indiana" he
said. many years ago. and he impressed
ME greatly with his sincerity
Judge Nichol then reviewed the temper
IN Sipu
II never knew of a man who had prac-
ticed life of total abstinence who express
ed any regrets for being abstemious. On the
other hand, l have known men who were
addicted to the use of intoxicating bever
ages to express regret that they had ever
contracted the habit"
Mr.. Downey said temperance is the queen
of all virtues. The sober man. he said
is generally a good and useful citizen. and
organizations such as ours have for their
notices Honesty to God and Man. We are
honest in believing that drunkenness is a
detriment to good citizenship. and by our
lives of total abstinence we endeSvoring
to show a practical example of the good
there is in a life of sobriety."
Mr.. Downey then referred to what Presi-
dent Roosevelt Is doing to eradicate evil
and concluded by saying that in his opin
ion intemperance is the lowest of al evils.

GAME RESERVATION.
Encouraging Results From the Stock
ing of Rock Creek Park

Dr. Cecil French, who is interested in the
movement for making Rock Creek Park a
game reservation, in speaking of the move
ment this morning said ne believed the
swan and ducks placed In the lake at the
Pierce Mill dam a week ago will be the
nucleus of a large collection. The swans
are still there and, though several of the
ducks have strayed, the greater number are
well satisfied with their surroundings. The
committee In charge of the work consists
of DR. French. DR.. T S. Palmer of the
biological survey. DR.. ". S. Harlan. presi-
dent of the Game and Fish Protective AS
ISOLATION. and Mai. Sylvester.
During the past few days a wild deer has
been seen several times by persons in Rock
Creek Park, and Judging from it's appear
ance it is contented and doing well. This
leads DR.. French to believe that the park Is
an ideal place for deer and that there is
very little danger from dogs.
Some of those who have contributed to
the movement recently are Mr.. Thomas c.
Noyes, SO; l.. J., 81; Mr.. Joseph ]. Saks,
SO; A. T. E. So; Mr.. Charles Kramer, So,

AUTO LAMPS CONSIDERED.
Proposed Regulation to Prohibit the
Carrying Of Dazzling Lights.

Following the new regulation adopted by
the Commissioners intended to prohibit
unnecessary noises occasioned by automo-
bile horns, the Commissioners are consider
Ing a regulation respecting the lights on
automobiles.
Numerous complaints have been received
by the Commissioners recently about the
unnecessarily brilliant and dazzling lights
on motor vehicles, and as a result, Cor
poration Counsel Thomas, who drafted the
regulation regarding horns, reported to
the Commissioners today that before he
drafts a regulation regarding auto lights,
the Commissioners should first determine
If the general public, who are interested,
desire to have a hearing upon the sub
tect.
Thomas 3. Huyck, a real estate broker,
in a letter to the Commissioners, stated
that the amendment TO the police regula-
items governing automobiles should not stop
al merely understanding horns, but that the
use of brilliant lights on the machines at
night. especially powerful searchlights,
should be prohibited.
He said he had driven and ridden a
great deal at night, but has never found
the necessity of any light stronger than
an ordinary oil lamp. even on the darkest
roads. The use of search lights, he de-
clared is absolutely unnecessary and per
hiClouS lor, Wilen persons walking OF aFlV-
ing horses, meets a machine thus equipped,
they are almost blinded and are unable
to guide or manage their own machines
or horses, as the case may be. On account
of these lights, he contends, pedestrians
have become ratified" and horses have be-
come terrified.
Major Sylvester, chief of police. Is also
of the opinion that many of the auto
lights are over brilliant and dazzling, and
that some line should be drawn, as in the
case of the horns, SO that automobile lights
may conform TO a common standard.
