Sum of 100000 Contributed
Since Last Monday Fulfils
Condition Set for Contin-
gent Gifts of 100000.

The Madison Avenue Baptist Church,
81 Madison avenue and S1st street. held a
service yesterday morning whose dra-
matte climax was the raising of $4,000
,ocsssary to save contingent contributions
=, ,a,no00 and an endowment fund of
,ano 600. II was the last day on which the
asaciency could be made up, and after
the collection had been taken and the
psv DR.. Charles A. Eaton had announced
that the necessary amount had been
-,;sed q sigh of relief and rejoicing swept
the congregation.
The rapid rise m value Of the plot on
which the church stands had made neces-
.,rv a strengthening of the church's
finances or a move. A year ago Joseph
uIlbank gave 100000 toward an endow-
ment fund Of $3OOO0O upon the condition
that the church raise the remainder.
Later Mrs. Elizabeth Milbank Anderson,
Mr.. Mibanks sister. gave an additional
sO0O, leaving $4,000 TO be raised by the
congregation within year.
Last Monday the congregation had
raised $4,000 Saturday $500 more was
added. leaving $1,000 to be raised yester-
day. the last day Of the year This was
the situation when DR.. Eaton arose to
preach. choosing as his text, Remove
not the ancient landmark which thy
fathers have set"-Proverbs xii, 2S.
The pastor traced the history of the
church from its organization. in 1S4S to
the present time, pointing out that a
number Of the weather. members of the
congregation had drifted away, and that
the church's site had appreciated very
greatly in value
What do they intend to do with the
plot of ground on which this church Is
located If It is not to be used for the
house Of God?" he asked. mo piece of
property is of too high an intrinsic value
TO be dedicated to the Lords work"
While the collection was being taken
and counted anthems were sung by the
choir and the members of the congrega-
ton tried to forget their anxiety in
listening TO the music. Finally DR..
Eaton's announcement came. 1t was:
THE four thousand dollars has been
raised"

TO AID MILITARY SCHOOLS
Wood Would Have Them Pay
Army Rates for Supplies.

Washington, Nov. s.-Major General
Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army.
is considering a recommendation from
Colonel J. e. Mcmahon, of the field ar
tilery and the General Staff, that the
government authorize the sale to military
schools to which army officers are de-
tailed as instructors of military equipage
and stores on the same general terms as
such supplies are furnished to the army.
1t is understood that Colonel McMahon's 8
recommendation finds favor with the mill
tary authorities. The colonel contends
that 1T would promote uniformity In the
equipment of students receiving military
instruction and encourage competition in
drill and military tactics. Action by
Congress would be necessary to make the
recommendation effective.

Are Offered.

Sousa at Hippodrome-
Nine. Naroding Sings.

AS is usual with Sundays nowadays,

concerts. great and small
Aeolian Hall in the afternoon saw q
repetition of the New York Symphony
Society's offering of Friday.
Carnegie Hall, however, held the first
concert of the season of the Peoples
Symphony, an organization that is doing
good work in offering symphonic music to
the masses. Yesterday IL presented a
new composer to the public in James
Philip Dunn. whose composition for tenor
and orchestra. "Annabele Lee" to the
words OF the poem OF Poe, was said to
be ultra modern and realistic. II was. as
far as il bore memories OF Debussy and
Puccini aud in that II was nearly un-
singable, a fact which did not add COM
fort to the naturally excellent voice OF
Mr.. Ormsby.
The orchestra gave a very rough and
ready reading OF Dvorak's New World"
symphony. and smoother one OF Mr..
Chadwicks "Melpomene" overture. The
audience was large and liberal in ap-
plause.
In the evening Aeoian Hall contained
a small audience, brought out to hear
Nine. Maria Mieler-Narodny in pro-
gramme of Russian, Finnish and English
songs. Nine. Narodny disclosed a voice
Of excellent natural quality, but GER
tain monotony In her interpretations
failed to give the songs the interest they
should have conveyed.
At the Hippodrome Sousa and his band
returned. triumphant as OF yore, with all
his old marches, new suite, The Amer
lean Maid" and a number OF other Sc
lections, all enjoyed hugely by large
audience. The solo performers were Her
bert l.. Clarke, cornetist; Miss Virginia
Root, soprano, and Miss Margel Gluck,
