The Farr building is con sidered very
severely damaged. 1t is believed the
north wall will of necessity have to be
rebuilt. In the second story the pafti-
tions and other arrangement is serious
ly disturbed and damaged. Mr.. Farr
carried 50. GOO insurance, but he doubts
whether that will restore the building
to its normal value. DIR. j. H. Chase

dental parlors and Mesdames. c. NJ.
Bennett and A. F. Johnson met loss in
their household effects.
Coifiand q Ellefson, proprietors of
the Blue Front Clothing House, who

damaged and stolen goods they are
heavy losers, but have doubtless sufli-
cient Insurance to make them whole.

manitarian work as matron of the

One can scarcely appreciate what these
well conducted institutions are accom-
plishing in different states. They are
taking from the homes of squalor and
want, from the streets, children who
would be liable to become criminals,
and make splendid clean citizens of
them, placing them in the homes of
affluence and influence. do rot un-
derstand what would become of the
thousands upon thousands of omeless
waits but for these great institutions. "

terms of the constitution It is proposed
to promote rowing in the high schools
and preparatory schools through the es-
adjustment Of club and boathouse
where the boys will be properly trained
and taught to row under the best influ-
ences. The advantages of such an or
ganization seem to appeal to the ath-
letically inclined students of the diff
ferent schools, for at several institutions
crew material has been organized and
captains elected.
The alumni of the rowing colleges and
universities of the east have interested
themselves in the project with a view to-
ward aiding their alma matters to secure
good varsity crew material. The general
attitude Of the university athletic asso-

interview with a Star reporter.
Every one acquainted at all with the
most perfect form of aquatics, 7 suppose,
knows in a general way the advantages
to be gained from the introduction of
rowing into the high Schools" said Mr.
Woods. But it is not an easy task to be
specific or to show new and weighty ar
guments to the prejudiced or even to the
indifferent, who are ever ready to oppose
and criticise any new project.

place to keep it and to boat from arose. 1t
was hoped that either the PotomaCS or the
Anaostans would permit the boys TO house
their boats in their boathouse. and extend
to them the use of their house for the
months of April and May, as the boys
hours would not conflict with the hours of
the club boys. 1t was found, however,
that the latter house was too small for
the needs of the club members and boats,
and that the PotOmaCs would not consider
a proposition that would bring another or
ganiZation under it's roof. After consider
ing the situation il was decided to organ
ize a crew from such boys as could afford
to Join the Potomac Club as full-fedged
members. After careful canvass of the
entire school it was found that there were
fourteen boys with 81 each, for three
months dues With this flash of so they
were able to secure permission from the
Potomac Boat Club to allow them the use
of their shell for such school races as they
might have with the understanding that
after the school races We're over the boys
would try for the club crews.
