ton, consisting of Commissioner H. B. F.

liam D. Hoover, Stuart Mcnamara and

to preserve the old homestead of the man
who wrote the national air. 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" 1t Is stated that the
sum of $4,000 will be required to purchase
and repair the building and provide main
tenance income. and in this connection the
belief is expressed that it is only necessary
to bring the matter before the country to
secure the money required.

any American on the payment of 81 annual
dues. suitable certificate of membership
being given in each case. Applications for

thusiastic in his support of the plan to
raise the fund, as Is also Admiral Schley,
Commissioner mcfarland and the other
members Of the association, and 1t is ex-
will be raised and the purchase made Of
the old home of Francis Scott Key. Mr..
Key resided in the house for more than
twenty years. and his children were born
there. 1t is located on NJ Street in George
town, and is stated to be in a sad state of
neglect. being covered with signs and ad-
vertisements.
According to the statement of one of
those prominent in the movement to have
the house restored patriotic citizens have
felt an increasing desire to have it saved
and repaired and properly kept. 1t Is
planned that the people of the country may
have an opportunity of paying tribute
of love to the man who wrote his enthusf
astic patriotism into an anthem which will
endure while time shall last.
1t is pointed out that when the Betsy
Ross Memorial Association was formed
and the cause presented for the indorse-
ment of the people the reply was almost
instantaneous, and It is believed that with
the lasting love the people of the nation
have for Francis Scott Key. the home of
his greatest effort will be preserved.

FOR BOYS BUILDING.
Effort Of Y. M. c. A. Youngsters to
Raise SO 900.

The efforts to raise money to replace with
new the right shabby furniture" in the
boys building of the Y. NJ. c. A. have been
meeting with excellent results during the
two weeks since the canvass for funds was
started Albert M. Chesley, boys work sec
rotary, last evening stated that $500 had
been raised by the boys toward the $1,000
necessary to buy the new furniture.
The contest between the various teams to
see which can obtain the largest amount Of
money is going merrily. The Blues are
now leading the Reds, but neither team re-
CARDS the position as fixed for the remand
er of the contest. Every member, further,
is trying to get $40, as that insures him a
ticket to a dinner to be given after the close
of the contest, April 13.
The team captained by Wilson Silby OBJ
tanned the largest amount of money last
week and was given the prize of $40, which
was promised for the team which wins each

GRAND OPERA PROSPECTS
As They Appear to Mr.. Meltzer and
the Metropolitan Management.

Mr.. Charles Henry Meltzer, who was in
the city last week, was asked by Star re-
porter about Mr.. Conrieds plans for grand
opera. He said: Mr.. Conried is my author
ity for declaring that if his health allows
and he has rosy reason to be hopeful on
that score-he will remain in control of
the Metropolitan Opera House as long as
the company of which he is the head re-
mains in existence. That means that he
expects to be manager till the spring of
1911, at least, If not longer"
What are the prospects for the Wash
ington grand opera season.? asked The
Star.
Excellent. so far as your opera-goers are
concerned; though whether or no 1t will be
possible, even If the Belasco Theater Is
filled every night, for the Metropolitan
Opera Company to make ends meet is
doubtful. The works selected for per-
Torrance are unusually important, and re-
quire the most careful and artistic presen-
tauons. They are Madame Butterfly.
Faust and Aida The last-named opera,
more particularly, will be produced with
due regard for the spectacular aspects of
the work.
Madame Butterfly has been one of the
noteworthy successes of the New York sea-
son. 1t has been staged under the direct
personal supervision Of Giacomo Paccini.
"Caruso? He has been resting little
POSSIBLY for the last time) as Mephistophe-
les in Faust. Caruso is surprisingly eff
fective in Madame Butterfly. AS it is sung
by him and by Miss Farrar the love duo
at the end of act one takes on a beauty
which is Irresistible.
LAS to Miss Farrar, ! can only tell YOU
that in every part which she has sung since
her debut at the Metropolitan sh, has
shown herself an artist in the truest sense,
curiously and sometimes startlingly original
as an actress and tuneful as a singer.
Madame Emma Eames is in splendid
voice this season, and so handsome that
she wrung from Puccini, on the eve of his
return to Europe, a tribute of admiration.
He also paid some remarkable compliments
to Miss Farrar, whom he had watched
closely during the Madame Butterfly re-
liearsals.
Among the most interesting features Of
the grand opera season., continued Mr..
MeltZer will be the first appearance in the
part of Aida of Nine. Marie Rappold and
the Washington debut Of an exceptionally
fine young Italian baritone, NJ. Ricardo
Straccian. Amonasro.
THE orchestra will be wholly satisfying.
Mr.. Conried realizes the great Importance
1t plays in the grand opera scheme. 1t will
be under the direction of Mr.. Arturo Vigna,
whom you already know, and of a new
trench conductor, NJ. Samuel Bovy, pupil
of that wonderful, master, Luigint, the late
chef dorchestre of the Paris Opera CO.
mique.
THE financial success or failure of the
season will depend on you Washingtonians.
All that Mr.. Conried and his company can
accomplish Is to assure the artistic success
of the grand opera performances"

MRS. M'KAY'S PETITION
ASKS ROCKVILLE COURT FOR LET
TIERS OF ADMINISTRATION.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, March 16.-Applica-
ton was made today in the orphans
court here to have granted to Mrs. Eliza
beth Mckay, daughter of Mrs. Mary
Lang, who was murdered near Wheaton
last Saturday night, and wife of William
H. Mckay, who is in Jail here charged
with the crime, letters of administration
on Mrs. Lang's estate.
1t was represented that Mrs. Mckay
and John Lang of Virginia are the only
near kin of the deceased. The value of
the estate is placed at $4,000. The appli-
cation will be acted on at the session of
the court next Tuesday.
Edward C. Peter, McKay's counsel. was
today In conference with Judge James
B. Henderson in regard to his clients
mental condition. 1t has been proposed
that the prisoner be sent to some insti-
tuition for treatment, but such was deem
ed inadvisable, as the question OF his
sanity will be passed upon when the case
is tried, which will probably be within
the next three weeks.
No Postponement Of Trial.
1t is understood that Mr.. Peter has no
present intention Of asking for a post
ponement of the trial. Mckay learned to-
day that a bill had been filed in the cir
cult court here to have set aside a deed
from Mrs. Mckay to her husband, the
prisoner, which conveyed the Mckay farm
near Wheaton, on the ground that Mrs
Mckay had been intimidated into exc
cutting the deed
The prisoner characterized the allega-
ton as preposterous. He stated that he
and his wife had perfect understanding
at the time the property was purchased,
and that for reasons of their own the
title was placed in Mrs. McKays name
He says Mrs. Mckay never made the
slightest objection when requested to
transfer the property.
A watch Is still being kept over Mckay
and will be continued until the man is
regarded as in a normal condition.

District Officials Suggest Delay in Use
Of Union Station.

Officials of the District building who have
been unofficially Informed that the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad will run passenger
trains into the new union station by May
next have expressed the opinion that such
action will result in much inconvenience
to the travelling public In that there will
be no street cars within three blocks Of
the station and 1t will necessitate persons
In reaching the station to walk through soft
mud and on unimproved streets and side
walks.
That part Of the new station which Is to
be used by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
was sufficiently constructed last September
to bring passenger trains in at that time it
is stated, but the officials of the railroad
abandoned the idea in view Of the lack of
street railroad facilities.

Not a Wild Deer, but a Pet.

The deer that was seen swimming across
the river three days ago, as stated in The
Star at the time, was not wild animal
from the mountains as many persons had
supposed, but was a pet animal from the
summer home of Col. A. E. Randle Con-
gress Heights. Yesterday afternoon the
deer was found in the woods below Con-
gress Heights and was restored to its
owner.
