WILL TELL THRILLING STORY.
Admiral sigsbee to Lecture on Blow
inr I'm Of the Maine

Those who like thrilling experiences or
are interested in historical events have a
treat in store for them in the lecture of
Admiral Eigsbee on the blowing up OF the
Maine. which the commander of that ILL
fated vessel will deliver at the National
Theater tomorrow night.
The blowing up OF the Maine was an
historical event of momentuus conse-
quences. It takes rank with the firing on
Fort Sumter and other events which have
"set the clocks OF the world" as Bis
marck would say, ana radically changed
the course of history.
To hear this story told by the chief act
or in it Is unusually interesting, for Ad-
miral Sigsbee harrates with observing
vividness.
The admiral is OF the highest type Of
American naval officer, as modest and
unassuming as he was brave. patriotic
and devoted to his country's interests. He
tells the story quietly. plainly and with
absolute freedom from theatricals of any
kind.
The most thrilling incidents and situa-
tions are brought out quietly without any
effort at dramatic effect. Their force
comes upon the hearer. however, with
startling effect

REPORTS DzF1c1T IN FUNDS.
Committee on Special Relief Makes
Call for Assistance.

A deficit in funds was reported at
meeting of the committee on special re-
lief. held recently at the Office of the local
tuberculosis association. A letter of ap-
probation from Mrs. Archibald Hopkins
was read. and 1t was decided to make an
appeal to the public for the money neces-
sary to carry the work through the sum-
mer.
Il am greatly interested In the work
done by your association for the relief OF
incipient tuberculosis, either by paying
sanatorium expenses or by supplying sep
arate sleeping rooms, beds, reclining
chairs and sleeping tents or porches. in
order that patients may take treatment
at home,'' the letter sets forth. Yours
is a preventive work that should appeal
to every one. and am sorry to hear that
you are in need Of funds. / wish l could
give the entire sum needed. but. that be-
ing impossible. I am sending you one dol
lar, feeling sure that there are many
others willing to give one dollar to this
good cause H 1t Is made known to them .
This money, II Is explained. Is used ex-
clusively for patients suffering from tu-
berculosis who are unable to provide the
proper means OF treatment for them
selves. 1t Is important work in that it
restores breadwinners to health and en-
ables them again to become self-support-
ing. Further help must be refused to
patients whose hope of recovery depends
upon 1t. unless the committee receives
financial assistance at once. Checks
should be made payable to the special re-
lief fund and sent to the tuberculosis as
sociation, 923 II street northwest.

the civic pride of Wasllinetonians. ana
should be aimed at that only.
Then, if the affair grew and attracted
the attention Of the outside world. so
much the better: but | do not think IT
should be arranged with that purpose In
view.
'.The Mardi Gras at New Orleans and
the successful flower fetes of other cities
all originated as purely local anairs Ihe
citizens of the towns in which they are
held got them up for the fun OF the
thing. In the first instance they were
fetes. and nothing but fetes, almost natu-
raj expressions of pleasure-loving people
IF the citizens and business men OF
Washington are sufficiently fond of the
beautiful to contribute to such an affair,
if they will go into it with the proper hol-
iday spirit, there would be no doubt what
ever Of it's success.
But the spirit which carries such af-
fairs through to happy elimination is
hard to manufacture. What l would like
to see would be an enthusiasm and inter-
est in flower fete here of the sort that
is displayed by lovers of base ball at the
ball parks, by automobile enthusiasts at
motor races or by horSemen at horse
shows.
Prizes for Best Decorations.
without having given very much
thought to the details of such an affair,
should think a most beautiful pageant
could be arranged. There should be prizes
for the best decorated private conveyances
and also prizes for the best float entered
by business firm. There should be
long parade, including tour of Potomac
drive. which, by the way, would be
good place for the judges stand.
II heartily favor such a scheme and
hope the present discussion of 1t will end
successfully
while am unfamiliar with such mat
ters. 1 see no reason why. If other cities
make successes of flower fetes, Washing
ton should not be able to do so," said
James F. Oyster OF the board of directors
of the Board of Trade. Il should GER
tanly like to see 1t tried. anyhow. If
prizes were given for all sorts of floral
displays the interest of the people of
Washington would undoubtedly be aroused
and a keen and friendly competition
started"
