Good Cause.

Where will 1 find = the Red Cross
stamps?'
1t isn't possible to estimate at all ac-
curately how many times this question
was asked in Washington stores yester-
day. The stamps are in demand because
they are sold for the benefit of tuber-
culosis sufferers, and every cent realized
from their sale is turned over to the local
branch of the National Red Cross. which
originated the idea in this country.
They will not carry any kind of mail,
but any kind of mail-postals letters
folders and parcels-will carry them. and
they form cheerful greeting to thus
attach. foT behind their Merry Christ
mas is Il fight for health and happiness
They cost penny apiece. and they
can be bought in any quantity at any of
the places named below
The stamps are on sale at Woodward &
Lothrop's. Brentano's. Thompson S drug
store, California fruit store. Saks & Co.'S.

IN MEMORY OF FRIEND.
Cross Erected by Miss Robinson
Over Grave of Mai. Weiss.

Miss Louisa r. Robinson of 1915 Poto-
mac street northwest, friend of Maj.
John T.. Weiss, u. S. A. deceased, has
erected cross of blue granite over his
grave in Oak. Hill cemetery Miss Rob
insonS nursed the major through an ILL
ness and was the sole beneficiary under
his will. Until a complete search was
made for other possible heirs the legatee
would take none of the estate. 1t de-
veloped that the testator left no blood
relatives-that he was the last of his line.
Maj. Weiss was for years a resident of
Georgetown. He came to Washington at
the beginning of the civil war, and en-
listed in the Union army, rising to the
rank of major in the Engineer Corps. AT
the close of the war he purchased a home
on Potomac street. where he lived until
his death, June n, 1903.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS.
Paderewski Carefully Analyses His
Piano Before a Concert.

NEW YORK. December 19.-Paderewski
has started on his long western tour The
old discussion as to whether the remark
able Pole actually hypnotizes his audi
ences has been renewed. A professor of
psychology has advanced the theory that
the human eye can generate magnetism
upon the same principle as wireless teeg-
raphy, and he pointed out that Paderewski,
more than any other public performer,
possesses the secret
When Paderewski himself is interro-
gated on the subject, he smiles, and mod
estly agrees with Emerson that all genius
is an infinite capacity for taking pains.
He certainly does not neglect the slightest
detail connected with his public appear
ances. The day before a concert he is in
accessible to interviewers and even init
mate friends. He practices for hours
pieces that he has played hundreds of
times in public and that he probably
knows backward.
Even his piano Dis made the subject of
searching analysis. Just before a concert
he personally tests every note to find out
whether the tuner has sighted his work,
and he can detect intinitesimal variations,
imperceptible to other ears. This year he
plays different make of piano from for
merly. A whole year before he was to
visit this country, leading American max
ers submitted specimens of their best in
struments to him at his castle in SwtZer-
land He devoted days and weeks to the
selection, almost exhauSting the patience
of the piano manufacturers but 1t was all
III line with his conviction that he cannot
afford to go before the public with single
detail not thoroughly thought out and
mastered beforehand. He has consumed
hours in studying the phraSing of a single
bar and he believes it is all worth while.

CEREMONIES OF ORDINATION
Candidates Received Into Priesthood
in Catholic Church.

The ceremonies of ordination to the
Catholic priesthood are being held in this
city and Baltimore. They. began yester-
day morning and will conclude Saturday
morning. At the Apostolic Mission House
in this city Bishop Kenny of st. Angus
tine, Fla, off1ciated yesterday morning at
7 o'clock. when the following were made
subdeacons: Mark Walter Lappen, c. S.
P: Owen Augustine McGrath. c. S. P;
Daniel Charles Carey S. NJ; John Bap-
fist Andre. S. NJ: Stewart Daigneau. S.
NJ: John Georgelin, S. NJ: Joseph Angus
tine Little. S. NJ. Friday morning the
diaconate will be conferred on a number
of candidates.
Bishop Kenny will preside at the ordina-
ton ceremonies Saturday morning. when
Messrs. Buckley and Little of st. Angus
tine. Fla. will be priested. as viii Mr..
Walsh of Hoy Cross College.
Bishop A. A. Curtis is comforting minor
orders at the cathedral in Baltimore. and
Saturday morning Cardinal Gibbons Will
ordain twenty-four candidates to the
priesthood. Following the ceremony the
young priests will go home to celebrate
their first mass Christmas morning. Ihey
will be assigned by Cardinal Gibbons the
day of their ordination.
1t Is regarded probable that two OF
the young men ordained Saturday will
come to Washington. During the current
year two local assistant pastors have been
promoted to pastorates-Rev. F. X. Bis
choff from ST. Augustine's to the Church
of the Nativity, and Rev, Father Mark
from ST Anthonys Church. Brook!and.
to the Church of St. Francis de Sales.
Langdon. Cardinal Gibbons will, 1t is
stated, take the earliest possible oppor-
tunity to give assistance to the clergy at
st. Augustines Church. Rev. Paul Crit
fifth, pastor. and Rev. Alonzo ]. Odds. as
sistant, have an unusually large congre-
CATION. and the promotion of Father Bis
chof has added burdens to these two
clergymen.
Thus far there has been no intimation of
changes al any of tue other local Catho-
lie churches. The before-Christmas an
nouncements from the cardinals resi-
dence are said to be awaited with a great
deal of interest.
