CHILD BADLY BURNED
Lillian Goodman Victim of Painful
Accident by Fire.
REMOVED TO HOSPITAL.
Fire on MARYLAND Ave. at Home of
MIR. Aaron Lee Goodman Causes
Great Excitemsnt-Several
Persons Injured.

/ As a result of a peculiar accident
last evening about o'clock, little
Lillian Goodman, age between 5 and c
years, was removed this morning tc
the Emergency Hospital. The little
sufferer is badly burned about the
body, face, neck, arms and hands,
and suffered intense pain as the re-
suit of her injuries.
About z o'clock last night Mrs.
Goodman, wife of Mr. Aaron Lee
Goodman a prominent local merchant,
whose home is on Maryland avenue,
near Prince George street, left her
two little children in the kitchen for
moment while she went upstairs.
The little children were playing with
an apron tied around Lillian's neck.
They were at a table. but in moving
about the draft famed the apron in
the direction of the stove, where a lid
was off.
The fire caught to the apron and in
a moment the child was ablaze. The
little one ran to the front door and the
blaze drew the attention of persons
on the sidewalk, who thought the
dreaming
that human torch stood before them.
The mother, hearing the child's
screams, ran downstairs and attempted
to put out the fire that was burning
her darling baby, and in doing so badly
burned both hands.
Mrs. Goodman also had to be treat
ed at the hospital for her burns, and
suffered greatly from shock. An alarm
of fire was turned in and the volun-
teer department soon responded. In
the meantime between 500 and 1000
persons gathered about the house. Mr.
Henry Mason, who was in the neigh
borhood, ran to the child and endeav-
ored to put out the flames and in doing
so had his hands badly burned.
Alfred Baker was passing, and had
the presence of mind to tear off his
coat and wrap it about the child to
smother the flames, at the same time
attempting to tear the child's burning
clothing from her body. Despite her
torch, the tiny girl of five or six cried
out: Please do not tear my clothes
off in the street" She had gone out
Oh the house on the front porch as
soon as she caught fire.
Nothing has created more widesread
sympathy for many long day than
did the burning of this little girl last
night. The entire community extends
sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Goodman in
their distress. The accident occur
ring at this time--the Christmas sea-
son, makes it more than usually sad.
The little girl is horribly burned.
Part of her hair is burned from her
head and her little face and body are
in horrible condition. Her injuries
are considered very serious.

NAVY FOOTBALL PICTURES.
Bower Theatre to Show Game BY
Films Big Vaudeville Acts
For Week -End-AttractiOn
Extraordinary.

The management of the Bower
Theatre wishes to announce to the
patrons of that theatre that thew
have a treat in store for them, com
mencing tomorrow, Thursday, and
lasting for the last three days of
this week.
There have been many requests writ
ten to the management asking for the
return of the Army and Navy football
pictures as when the pictures were
last here many did not have a chance
to view them. The day the picture
was run at the Boyer on Saturday
and many storekeepers as well as the
navy men were unable to come to
the theatre to see them, so the
management has gone to quite a
large expense in securing these ia
nous pictures for Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week.
Owing to the occasion being Christ
mas week, the management has de-
cided to give the patrons something
out of the ordinary in the way of a
vaudeville bill. Four all-star vaude-
vile acts will be seen this big bill,
which will be as strong bill and as
great an array of vaudeville talent
ever seen on the Boyer stage at these
prices, with the Army and Navy foot
ball pictures and a reel of Pathe
pictures and one special film from the
Edison people and big laughing reel
from the Washington Film Company.
: The patrons of the Boyer can pre-
pare for the treat of the season wher
they visit the popular Boyer theatre
the last three days ofsthis week. The
Management wishes to announce that
this will positively be the last time
the Army and Navy football picture:
will be seen in this city, and fol
the benefit Of the persons who were
unable to see them the last time
here, it is hoped everybody will take
advantage this time and see them.

SHOT WITH AIR RIFLE.
Bows Christmas Present Nearly Causes
Loss of Sight.

Parents who give their children
Christmas presents of air rifles are
as culpable as the children who use the
rifles as weapons.
This morning little boy nearly had
the sight of his left eye DESTROYED
by an air rife. Tommy Rosati, son
of one of the Naval Academy bands
men. was shot just above the eye with
an air rifle in the hands of another
boy, Richard Simmons.
The injured Rosati boy was taken to
the Emergency Hospital, where the
wound was dressed. The shot Just
missed the ball of the eye, and the in
jured boy narrowly escaped losing his
sight.
Parents whose children have air
rifles should not allow their children
to'use the rifles with such reckless
ness. Indeed some action should be
taken to prevent the sale of these
rifles to inexperienced children or the
parents of such, or even to prohibit
the manufacture of a weapon danger

SANTA CLAUS LATE.
Delivers Presenta to St. Mary's School
ChiIdren-Assisted By Mr.. Bones
With Shiny Eyes.

One would never have known that the
/ clouds were dark and the rain was
1 pouring hard had he been in the bright
| and CHEEKY St. Mary's Hall yesterday
| afternoon, where all was joy and glad
ness. sunshine and merriment.
! 1t was the occasion of the Christmas
festival of St. Mary's school, and
despite the rain, nearly every child of
the parish was present at the Christ
mas celebration. In the centre of the
hall stood large Christmas tree, the
top branches of which reached almost
tc the ceiling. Santa Claus. although
day late, was present with his pack
on his back full of good things for the
school children, nearly all of whom
were present and many brought their
little brothers and sisters, not yet of
school age.
The parents and guardians of the
school children were also invited and
those interested in the distribution of
candies and prizes were present to en-
joy the good time with the children.
After several Christmas carols were
sung, Santa Claus appeared. He made
a brief address to the children, excus-
ing himself for being late, because OF
his many calls at Christmas. His
friend, Mr.. Bones, accompanied
Santa, and assisted him to distribute
the presents.
Mr.. Bones was a veritable ghost
in appearance. By some electric
contrivance his eyes blazed from
time to time to the delight of the
children, whose eagerness to get
their presents, banished their fear
and each one courageously approach
ed him and received their gifts.
Several recitations were given by
the children, and one little boy did
pretty fancy dance while some o. the
children sang sweetly and all sang
Christmas carols. 1t was a CHEEKY,
good time for all present and Santa
Claus ingratiated himself in the
hearts Of the children more than ever.
A night a similar Christmas treat
was given the colored children of st.
Mary's parish, the hall being filled
with them. Mr.. Bones, who helped
Santa Claus distribute the gift looked
more ghosty at night even than in
the dav time, and his shiny eyes frigh-
tened some of the colored children,
who were not quite so courageous as
the white school children to whom Mr..
Bones had distributed gifts in the aft
ernoon.
The children all owe the good
time and gifts to the Rev. Fathers
and the good Sisters of Notre Dame,
who had charge of the enterta in

HANDSOME POlNSETTIAS.
Over $50 Of These Beautiful Flowers
in St. Mary's Xmas Decorations
Raised BY Father Schuch.

1t has been a matter of general
/ comment in town since the Christmas
/ services at ST. Mary's r c. Church.
that such a profusion of beautiful
I poinsettias could be obtained i'm An
napolis.
Upon inquiry il has been ascertain
ed that this unusual number Of poin-
settias were grown in the green houses
of the Redemptorist Fathers Of ST.
Mary's, and were the spec ial care and
pride Of the Rev. Father Joseph
Schuch. who planted them and gave
them his personal attention and care
until his recent transfer from ST.
Mary's, Annapolis, 10 St. Mary's
College, North East Pa, where he is
instructor.
Since Father Schuch's transfer
the remaining Fathers at st. Marv's
have watched the growth Of the
poinSettias and have given them
much care during the last six months.
The result is there were $50 grow
ing, blooming poinsettias used in
the Christmas decorations at St
Mary's Church. Some of these plants
in the sanctuary were eight feet tall,
and some Of the flowers were eight
inches in diameter. They were so tall
and large it necessitated tying them
on the altar. There was such lro-
fusion Of poinsettias in the decora-
tions at st. Mary's, that many thought
they were artificial, as money could
scarcely buy so many of the natural
plants and flowers, but they were
grown in ST. Mary's conservatory and
this is the secret.

Meetze, Va.-Mrs. J. c. Green of this place, says: q suffered with womanly troubles so that l could hardly sit up. Two of the best doctors in our town treated me, and I tried different medi- clnes, until I gave up all hope of ever getting well.
