TO LECTURE FOR HOSPITAL
Father Delaney to Talk on Macbeth
for Benefit of New Buildings.

A rare treat is in store for Alex
andrians, especially those interested
in Shakespeare, for awhich arrange
ments have been completed by the
Board of Managers of the Alexandra
Hospital, to have Rev. William D.
Delaney, A. NJ, LII. D., lecture for
the benefit of the new building fund,
on "Macbeth."
The lecture is to be given on Tues
day, April 18th.
Father Delaney spent much time
in research work whiel professor OF
Latin and Greek in Mount St. Mary's
! College, Emmettsburg, Md, and as
director of dramatics of the school
had much opportunity for gathering
material for the lectures on Shakes
pearean dramas, which he has deliv-
cred before cultured and critical aud
fences here and elsewhere. His lee
lures are thoroughly delightful and
instructive for the casual listener,
and reader, and for the student of
Shakespeare; they contain much food
for thought. His quotations are we'll
chosen and rendered in mastery
style.
In his lecture on Macbeth Father
Delaney departs from the known
known criticism of Banquo in the play
of Macbeth. As it is well known, it
is the accepted opinion that Banquo
was never infamed by the idea or
rather lust of ambition. After some
years of constant work and strenuous
opposition, Father Delaney's views
concerning this important character
were accepted by some of the leading
literary and Shakespearean critics
of this country.

STOLEN HATS RECOVERED.

A detective from Washington visited
this city today on a search for a num-
ber of hats which, it is alleged, were re.
Gently stolen IN that city. He found
fourteen OF the caputical coverings at
the secondhand store OF w. w. simp-
son 10 the Brsddock House. Simpson,
in answer to questions propounded
him stated that he purchased the hats
from two negroes, unknown to him;
that they wore bats similar to those
thav offered to sell and said they came
by them honestly. The negroes were
subseq uently arrested in Washington.
Twelve OF the hats are now at the sta
ton house.

Second District.
Miss Kroes Ficklin, 49,oS
Third District.
Miss Irene Pullman, 16,34S
. a

The balloting was quite heavy in
the big foreign tour contest yester-
dav. and as result there is new
leader for every district, and these
are Miss L. Violet Proctor IN the
First district, Miss Kroes F1ckhn IN
the Second and Miss Irene Pullman IN
the Third. Miss Proctor in the First
district goes from fourth to first and
has more than 10000 votes to her
credit. She is the first candidate to
pass the 10000 mark in her district
Miss Ficklin does strong voting yes
terday and now heads her district
with nearly three thousand votes to
spare. There was general change
in the Second district yesterdy. MISS
Heisley steps back to second place.
Miss Fawcett votes strong and comes
to the third place in the list, and MISS
Anderson drops to the fourth. MISS
Irene Pullman makes Fairfax county
glad today by taking her seat in the
Roll OF Honor. ~
The ladies and their supporters
should remember that the Diamond
Ring period will close at nine o'clock
next Wednesday night and that the
ownership of that magnificent Soo.oo
sparkler will be determined by the
work done between now and next
Wednesday evening at nike o'clock
There are two good reasons why each
aspirant for tour honors should 90
her best work before Wednesday
One sof these is that she may make
certain of securing that diamond ring
in case she fails to set the tour, and
the other is that after next Wednes-
day there will be an appreciable re-
duction in the voting schedule. A
subscription payment OF 81 made be-
fore next Wednesday, will count 6oo
votes if it is new, and if you wait
until after that time, it will only count
600, and a S. subscription, if paid be-
fore Wednesday, will count $500 if
i is new. DO THE HARDEST
WORK NOW BEFORE THE SCHED-
ULE is REDUCED.
The voting is not anywhere near as
heavy: as the subscription payments
received swould warrant, as many Of
the contestants are boarding their
snecial ballots, and it often takes all
the persuasive powers possessed by
the contest manager to INDUCE a con-
testant to part with sufficient of her
votes to place her at the head OF her
district, and in some cases persuasion
is Of no effect, and it is doubtful il
a crowbar would be equal to the task
Of separating some of them from thell
special ballots.

Avis Linnell got acquainted

Lean. Avis was bridesmaid.
The first suspicion that she
and the minister were in love
came when, by degrees; she lost
some of her care-ftee manner and
grew deeply religious. In a few
weeks the girl seemed transform

her outdoor sports for serious
