HOTELS FOR WOMEN NEEDED.
Crying Need in New York City, De-
cIares President of Little
Mothers Association.

"There are only three ways open to
the New York working girl whose wage
earning capacity is So a week and
who Is dependent on herself for sup
port-she may starve, go to destruc-
ton, or commit suicide"
Mrs. Clarence Burns, president Of the
Little Mothers Association flung this
bombshell into the convention Of the
New York Federation OF Women's
Clubs.
1.-THE crying need of New York City"
continued Mrs. Burns, lis Mills hotels
for working women.
There are 255,732 wage earning
women In New York. These figures
do not include the women In various
professions. OF these wage earnerS
22,708 are saleswomen. Their earnings
average SIS a week. A woman can bare
ly live on that and keep herself respect
able. The women and girl boxmakers
number 1904. This is the poorest paid
trade in the city. Three dollars a week
is the average wage paid. No woman
can support herself on such a sun In
less she lives in her parents home and
pays no board.
New York must give these girls and
places within their means. 1t remains
for the Federation of Women's Clubs
to make some strong organized effort
to start this thing. 1t will be no trou-
BILE to establish these cheap, comfort
able hotels nee we can convince peo-
pie of the need"

The shores of Chesapeake Bay
abound plentifully in wild celery
the chief article of diet of the canvas
back duck. The plant grows entirely
under water, and the duck, In order
to obtain the buds and shoots of the
plant, must, at times, remain under
water as long as two minutes. Then,
too, they often lose the choice morsel,
for the baldpate lies in wait ready to
snatch it from the diver. The poor,
misguided canvasback Is easily be-
guiled to its death by the waiting gun
ner through the use of decoys made
Of wood or other light material. But

Then we drove to the Ponce De Leon,
where Senator and Mrs. S.-lunched
with US. This hotel is a vast Moorish
Palace covering acres of ground. One
enters through a massive iron gate; a
flight of steps leads to a yeranda on
either side, with a large open court
in front, filled with tropical growth
bordered with yerbenaS, mignonette,
geraniums and roses in full bloom. In
the centre of this paved court, a large
fountain is fed by bronze frogs and
turtles, while the basin flashes with
splendid gold fish. A few steps a to
the main verandas, the floors of which,
and all the corridors, are HAWKES. mar

is superbly arved in antique designs
of oak, while marble fire places contain
huge lighted logs resting on the mass
i've brass andirons. Very large paint
ingS. which are masterpieces, hang on
the second floor of the rotunda. The
immense dining hall in the centre Of
the building must be seen to gather
any conception of its splendor. The
~frescoing on the walls and ceilings
beggars description. Each side of the
room is enclosed in glass, and the
guests gaze out upon the open grounds,
green as in summer time. The pillars
in this room are wonders of architect
ural beauty.
Fairy Land Scenes.
The furnishings are magnificent, in
old gold, pale rose tints and pale blue.
One of the mantels is vertically a thing
of beauty; it is of white carved wood,
and rich pieces of Mexican onyx, with
a clock set in the onyx and with huge
brass andirons. The cost must have
been thousands. We came here In the
evenings to listen to the fine music In
the rotunda, and the court looked like
fairy land, lighted with many colored
incandescent globes hidden among the
plants. 1t was a charming scene. The
AlcaZar opposite the Ponce, on the
other side of the beautiful square, filled
with all green plants, is a charming
hotel. built of concrete; the Ponce is con
crete with trimmings and coverings in
terra Gotta. The AlcaZar surrounds
a very large court filled with flowers,
in the centre of which is a large foun-
tain always playing; windows open on
it, and a walk extends all around the
court. The first floor is used for stores
where tempting goods are displayed
Across the street from the Alcazar Is
the Cordova, with a small lighted court
in the office, filled with plants and
palms, and beyond, a small open court

THE FAMOUS CANvAsBACK DUCK,

Deception in the preparation of our
foods not only is the stock-in-trade of
the manufacturer, but large hotel
keepers are guilty also. Wise, indeed,
is the man who can tell when he is
eating canvasback duck. There is ap.
parently but one way to distinguish
the canvasback, and that IS by the cell
cry flavor impaired to its flesh. The
celebrated ducks of the Chesapeake re-
gion and those of Wisconsin are noted
for this flavor, the former living al
most entirely on an aquatic weed
known as wild celery, and the latter
upon the extensive celery fields of the
Wolverine State. And yet the owner

RELIC OF Bull RUN.

a Small Monument Erected on the
Spot al the Time of the Battle.
This rude little monument stands
on the bloodiest section Of the Bull
Run battlefields about one thousand
yards northwest of the crossroads
at Groveton. The site of the monu-
men is by the bankside OF the "old
railroad cut" Before the civil wal
a railroad was projected to run from
the Manassas Gap Railroad at Gains
vile, Va, northeast to Leesburg,
crossing Bull Run at Sudley Springs.
The railroad was graded with a sue
cession of "cuts" and "flls," from
GAINESVILLE to Sudley, a distance OF
about three miles. No ties or rails had
been laid when at the outbreak OF
the war work stopped. In the second
battle Of Bull Run, Jackson took up
his position along the line of railroad.
Back of Groveton the line a

cut was In the center or the Con-
federate line. Here the effort to dis

Appomatox, when the Union army
was on the march back to Washing

way of the old Warrentown turnpike
which runs through these bloody
fields. The bones OF the Union sol
diers who fell there had not at that
time been exhumed and taken to Ar
llngton. The returning veterans
paused long enough to erect and dedi-
cate this monument. 1t stands In

THE DIAM OND
ANOTHER ONE
 OF SAME KIND
Norwich Did Just What Wa. Done to Us By Springfield Other
 Results.

q t. gE
 There is but very little to be said about the game yesterday, for it is really the story of the day before the Waterbury batters could not bat. Two of the little fellows did connect with the ball, McEnroe getting two and Jimmy Walsh one, the only three hits made in the game. We got just one man to third during the whole game when Captain O'Hagan got life on a dropped thrown ball by Accorsini. went to second on a fielder's choice and took third on a passed ball. It was Arthur Nichols this time who was not equal to the demand, for he hit one to the pitcher and the chance to score was gone. That was our only chance, too. And 1t was strange that this was so, too. Plank was twirling for the Norwich team and while he had speed to burn, he was sending them over the plate as big as melons. They probably looked like lemons to the big stickers of the local team
 Treat. too, did good work through out the game. as was evidenced when the visitors got but four hits, two of them doing the work as the two did the day before. In fact, if you look over the records of both games, the Springfield 1 to score and the Nor wich l to score, you will notice a startling similarity. Norwich got her one run of the game in the fourth inning while Springfield got hers in the seventh that was about all the difference. The run made yesterday came on single by Golden, sacri- flee by Lord and a two-sacker by Soffel. The only other feature about the game was the umpiring of Dr Callahan. He has been pitching for Bridgeport, but Jim O'Rourke has taken a sudden dislike to Dan Sham non and while the latter was here yesterday as assigned he was not al- lowed to officiate as Callahan arrived here first and assumed the responsi- bilities. As an umpire he Is the "23" sign enlarged. He has no more judg- ment about ball or strike than the bear that is roaming around through the woods up the state. He should be taken back into the ORoIrke family and not allowed to roam at large again. Some one will surely eat him up if he isn't cared for. That is about all there is to this game. The score:
