EFFECT ON new STATUES
INTEREST IN PRESIDENT'S ART
COUNCIL ORDER.
Instructions May Prove Puzzling to
Memorial Commissions Acting
Under Congress.

Many people are interested in the ques-
ton as to how the Presidents orders
regarding the fine arts council will affect
the legislation providing for the erec-
ton Of about eleven new statues in this
city Among the statues provided for
are those to Columbus, John Barry, John
Paul Jones' John Witherspoon, the
Stephenson Grand Army Memorial, Gen.
L. S. Grant. Count Pulaski, Baron Won
Steuben, Gen. Kosciuszko. Thomas Jeffer-
son and Longfellow. Congress appro-
priated various sums Of money from,
$4,000 up for each Of these memorials,
and in each case named a commission
to select the site and the design of
the memorial. In most of these cases
the Secretary of War and the chairman
of the Senate library committee were
named as members of the commission.
The Secretary of State and the Secretary
of the Navy were named IS members Of
several of the commissions.
In a large majority of the cases the
commissions have already selected the
sites of the statues and awarded con-
tracts for the construction Of tho me-
morals. but IN none OF the cases named,
however, has the statue yet been actual
ly placed in position. Less progress has
been made in the cases Of the memorials
to Columbus, John Paul Jones, John
Barry and Thomas Jefferson than with
the others named. Sites have been
chosen In the cases of the Columbus and
Barry memorials. but in neither case has
the design been adopted Neither site nor
design has been selected in tho case of
the Jefferson memorial. A design has
been accepted for the Jones memorial.
but the matter Of site Is still undeter-
mined.
The statutes and the Presidents in
structions in regard to statues are hard
to reconcile, and 1t remains to be seen
what the different memorial commissions
will do in the matter.

Can You Take Your Medicinep

From Success Magazine.
\ man should start out in life with a
firm understanding with himself that he
is going to succeed; that he has under
taken TO do a certain thing. and, no mat
ter how long it takes or how difficult the
process, he is going to do II.
He should resolve at the very outset
that if he fails in anything he will make
the best possible use of his failure. get
the best possible lesson from 1t; that he
will make of 1t a stepping-ston instead
of a stumbling block. He should resolve
that every setback shall ultimately prove
an advance.
There Is everything in starting out with
an under standing with yourself that there
is nothing else for you but the goal, that
YOU are going to get there sooner or later
no matter what stands in your way.
II you are only half committed to your
proposition, however, II you are so loosely
attached to your vocation that the least
opposition will shake you from IL, you will
never get anywhere.

and the result would be that the liquor
interests would win, hands down.
"At present" she said. 1.-THE members
of Congress are too busy 'cussing the
President to know that the legalized
liquor traffic is running the country. The
congressman have got sense enough to
know 1t. but they have not got time to
find it out. If some of the members of
Congress loved their country as much
as they hate Theodore Roosevelt, we
would have had national prohibition years
ago"
In closing she said: Get down to work
Raise money. Send for the biggest
speakers you can find. Send to England

District w. c. T. u; Mrs. Robert Cohen,

THE LAZY CLUB.
Plan of English Workmen to Dis
courage Habit of Hardness.

From System.
One of the best assets of a manufac-
turing plant is the interest of employees,
and when this develops into friendly RI
valry its value is many times increased
Frequently workmen will adopt methods
spontaneously that are of great assist
ance to the firm.
In the engineering shops of certain
English firm the workmen a year or two
ago originated what they called the Lazy
Club 1t was entirely their own idea.
which for obvious reasons has received
neither recognition nor financial support
from the management, but has been a
most excellent means of reducing the
number of late corners.
Whenever a workman is more than five
minutes after time he finds the gate lock-
ed and he Is not allowed to enter until
the half hour Is up. This half hour is
deducted from his wages, but in addi-
ton he has also to pay to the treasurer
of the Lazy Club about FIVE cents for
coming late.
If he is late more than once or SO dur
ing q week everybody is aware of the
fact, and the second or third time he
makes his appearance after starting time
he is greeted with a terrific combination
of noises produced on any available ma
terial by his fellow-workmen
At certain periods the accumulated
funds Of the Lazy Club are divided, not
among those who have produced them, 1t

Early Dramatists' Pay.
From the London Chronicle

One wonders what the scribe Of tn
footlights of. say. seventy years ago,
would think of the incomes enjoyed by
our successful dramatists. In Edmund
Yates "Recollections.'' for instance, We
find Blackstone writing to Yates father:
For a successful three-act play you
ought, / think, to afford me E7O such
sum securing to you the sole acting rights
forever in London" And again in q let
ter dated 1889 he bargains: 81 will do
your piece for the opening and q new
three-act drama for Mrs. Yates, COM
pany. and self. for my old terms for the
two, viz. two seventies. I really cannot
say less" One wonders, also, what Mr.
Barrie would do" two Peter Pans for!

MRS. ARMOR URGES ON FIGHT
SAYS STRUGGLE FOR PROHIBI-
TON HAS ONLY BEGUN.
Advises Members Of the W. C. T. u.
to lombard Congress With Pleas
Against the Liquor Traffic.

In a rousing address before the w. c.
7. U. Of the District, In the Sunday school
| room of Foundry NJ. E. Church last night,
Mrs. Mary Harris Armor of Georgia urged
| that the fight for prohibition in the Dis
| trict of Columbia be carried on in
earnest
| "They may think that because the COM
mittee killed the Sims bill today" she
declared. I'VE have given up the fight
but let them know that. like John Paul
Jones, with his ship riddled. We are just
beginning to fight -
| Urged to Bombard Congress.
The union members were urged to in
crease the membership and then march
through the streets during the next Con-
gress singing Onward. Christian Soldier -
AT the close of the march," urged Mrs
Armor. you should crowd the galleries
| of Congress with 1900 mothers and Their
Congress will sit up and look more thar

She told the members to sit down and
write to every representative and senator
is wanted in the District. Simply flood
every member with letters and he will sit
| up and take notice., she said.
Mrs. Armor asserted that the southern
| representatives would do their full duty
| when the matter came up in the House
and Senate and that if any representative
| or senator failed to do his full duty tc
the prohibition interests the word should
| be passed along the line that he was un-
friendly and the fight taken at once into
| his state and district
I'm that way you can get your rights .
she declared. land the liquor interests
will have to fight every minute"
Opposed to a Plebiscite
She maintained that Congress does not
know the real desire of the residents OF
| the District to have prohibition here, and
| declared that the w. c. T. u. should
listen to no argument that the matter be
| left to vote of the residents of the Dis
| trict of Columbia, for many Of the resi-
| dents would fail to vote because of the

this by requiring the deposit of a coin
in the bank before the clock can be
wound. Unless the coin is deposited the
clock becomes useless. The amount of
the coin deposited Is controlled by the
size of the slot in the savings bank The
number of deposits can also be increased
by requiring daily winding Of the clock
In this way a certain sum must be added
to the bank each day previous to each
winding of the clock. After the clock
has been wound and the key removed.
the mechanism assumes it's normal posi-
ton so that the clock cannot be wound
again without the deposit of a coin.

| Structures upon the efficiency of officers
of the navy in the care of machinery of
war vessels were uttered in the House
of Representatives yesterday during the
consideration of the naval appropriation
| bill. with the result that an amendment
was adopted requiring the Secretary of
the Navy to annually report to Congress
those instances where more than 100000
is expended for repairs.
| The carelessness with which estimates
are made for the various improvements
in the navy was called to the attention
of the House by Chairman Tawney of
the appropriations committee.
| Mr. Tawney showed that 100000 was
asked for improvements and repairs on
| the battleship Alabama. and that at
| that time no survey had ever been made
| to determine what repairs were neces-
Sary, and that the vessel was then on a
tour around the world. Later 1T was
| found the repairs were not needed
After futile efforts had been made to
| obtain legislation looking to the restora-
| ton of marines aboard ships an amend
ment was agreed to prohibiting the pur-
chase of powder manufactured and sold
| in violation Of the Sherman antitrust
| law The debate disclosed the fact that
the amendment was directed at the du
| Pont company. An amendment also was
| adopted appropriating S250,OOO for the
| purpose of doubling the governments
output Of powder, also one fixing the
price for powder other than for small
! arms at GA cents per pound
| The bill was still pending when the
House adjourned.
Pay for Civil War Survivors.
\ bill providing pay for officers and en-
| listed men of the volunteer army who

| ported to the House yesterday by the
| committee on military affairs. Fifty dol
lars month is provided for officers after
| they have reached the age of seventy,
while DriVates are to receive $2o month
after that age. No pay will be allowed
| under the provisions of the bill If an Off
GER or private is now receiving pension
in excess Of the amount authorized by
this measure. Neither will any pay be
allowed under the terms of the bill if the
applicant is employed by the federal gov
eminent or by any state or municipality.
Statehood Bill to Be Reported.
1t is proposed to make the statehood
bill which probably will be reported to the
House this week non-partisan measure.
The bill will provide separate statehood
for New Mexico and Arizona. The repub-
lican members of the committee on terri
tories and the delegates from the two ter
ritories affected by the bill met again
yesterday to give the bill final consdera-
ton.
Representative Hamilton fMich), the
chairman of the House committee on ter

INTEREST OF LARGE AUDIENCE
 IS HELD TENSE THROUGHOUT
 PERFORMANCE AT UNIVERSITY. PLAY IN BIRMINGHAM TONIGHT.

University, February 19.-(Special. )-Be- fore crowd that packed the Eks' audi torium from the last row in the balcony to the orchestra, the Blackfriars last night presented Macbeth" and so we'll was the performance carried through the interest of the audience was held tense from the first rise to the final drop of the curtain In addition to the splendid act ing, which was mainly accountable for the effectiveness of the play, the elegant costumng and delft stage management were important factors in the general re- suit. The makeup of the players was in perfect keeping with the civilization of the time, and scene followed scene with out hitch or halt.
 The cast was admirably selected and well balanced. In the leading roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, Professor and Mrs. Losey did some wonderful work interpreting Shakespeares times with such power as to reveal the utmost depths and heights of human hopes and fears, and the conflict of the soul with invisible powers. Professor Losey read his lines with virile passion, while Mrs Losey was superb. She was a resolutely calm, n- tense Lady Macbeth, interruptions in planning, unblushing in executing deeds of darkness And so, when the breakdown of will and body came in the last act it was all the more pitiful.
 AS Macduff, s. F. Clabaugh did some very effective work in picturing the deep feelings of a stricken father and noble patriot. Lawrence Reynolds, in the part of Malcolm, appeared to great advantage Clement Woods work as Banquo, and later as Menteith, was exceptionally good. c. W. Moffett, as Ross, seemed a thane come down from the middle ages, more over, he played his part well. The work of Tom Jones as the drunken porter was practically perfect. As weird sisters, Misses Adele Harrison Julia Searcy and Mary Kate Chies did effective work, while Miss Inez Looney, as Lady Macduff, and Miss Maud Rosson, as the lady in waiting, were excellent. The remainder of the cast acquitted themselves we'll
 Though the entire play went off smooth ly, there were three or four scenes which stood out as work of the very highest class; the murder scene, which was ap- palling, the drunken porter scene, the meeting of Macduff, Malcolm and Ross in England, and the sleep walking scene of Lady Macbeth. The keenest critic could scarcely have found an opportunity for carping in the acting of any of the char acters participating in these.
 This afternon the Biackfriars will give a matinee performance and tonight at 93O o'clock they will leave for Birmingham. where they appear tomorrow.
