FLAG DAY OBSERVED,
First and Only General Call Fer,
Contributions For Funds Meets
With Many Cheerful Responses.

Richmond, May Miniature
Confederate flags adorning the
breasts of thousands today attested
the esteem and admiration felt by
the people of this city for the noble
Virginian, "Stonewall" Jackson,
who, ffty-one years ago tomorrow
was mortally wounded in defense of
Richmond-the capital Of the Con-
federacy. A double purpose will be
served by the wearers of the tiny
colors-honor will be done to him to
whom honor is due, means will be
provided to perpetuate his memory,
and debt Virginia owes will be
fttingly acknowledged.
This was the only general oppor-
tunity Richmonders had to contrib
ute to this cause. Flag Day will
come but once. Under the direc-
tion of the local chapters, Daugh.
ters of the Confederacy, stations
were opened today on every prom
inent corner and in every large Of
flee and public building in the city.
The flags were offered at any price
the purchaser chooses to pay. There
was nc, restriction by any one per-
son, and there was no limit to the
price. Flags were sold in nearly
every city in The State. Governor
Stuart having proclaimed May
Las Stonewall Jackson Day.
All of the funds collected will 60
toward the erection OF an equestrian
monument to the great Southern
chieftain. A site for the memorial
has not yet been selected, but it will
probably be within a short distance
of those which show the gratitude of
the people of the South to Lee, Stu
art and Davis.
This will be the first and last re-
quest for general contributions from
this city, and it is hoped that the
appeal will not be in vain. Nothing
can be added to Jackson's fame or
greatness, but the world will be
shown by the erection of this monu-
ment that Virginians are not insen-
sible to the great sacrifices made by
him, as expressed by speaker at
! the big mass meeting on Wednesday
night.
at is not money from the public
treasury we want. it is the volun-
tary gifts of the people, coming
with their love and admiration
which will make this monument a
lasting memorial"
The sale of the flags was author
tized by Mayor George Ainslie, with
the expression of his hope that the
people of the city over WHICH he pre-
sides would respond literally to the
appeal.
/ Women were stationed at strate
tgic points all over the city with
Esupply of flags early this morning

set forth. to their daily tasks. The
stations will not be abandoned unit

WILL ASK COUNCIL
TO DONATE $4,000
Collecting Committee For
New Hospital Now Have
$19,361.
A PLAY FOR TONIGHT.
Large and Enthusiastic Meeting Of
Hospital Promoters Held at Rooms
Of Chamber of Commerce.

The rooms OF the Chamber Of
Commerce were crowded by two
meetings last night. One was of the
trustees of the hospital over which
Worth Hulfsh presided, and the
other was the executive committee
meeting, with A. D. Brockett in
the chair.
The principal work of the trus-
tees was to pass a resolution ask
ing the City Council to appropriate
$5,000.00 for the hospital fund, af-
ter which the two committees were
merged, and Mr.. Brockett presided.
The contributions amounting to
S18,36l were next put upon the
black board. After the treasurer had
put this amount on the board, near
ly $4,000 was contributed, $1,000
of which was donation from J. b.
Bradley, of Washington city.
Mr.. Brockett stated the progress
that had been made and urged ev-
eryone to continue their efforts. He
also brought up the question of
whether the list of subscribers, to-
gether with the amount given By
them should be published, and sug-
gested that if it was decided in the
affirmative that date should be
fixed for the publication. He also
called attention to the fact that only
about $50 Of the 1900 or $4,000 in
habitants of Alexandria had contrib
uted, and stated that he confidently
expected the entire amount to be
subscribed.
The publication of the list Of sub
scribers was the cause of considera-
BILE debate and quite a number Of
short speeches on the subject were
made by Messrs. Hulfsh, Burke,
Brumback, Jas. R. Cation, Carroll
Pierce, Albert Smoot, J. Y. Williams,
and Gardner L. Boothe. There was
great unanimity as to the necessity
for publishing the names of contrib
utors, and some diversity as to
when they should be published, and
whether the amounts should be set
opposite the names or published IN
"a lump sum. Almost by unanI-
nous vote it was decided that the
names and amounts should be pub
lished Except where the individ-
uals requested that their names
should rot be used) and the public
ity committee vas directed to pre-
pare a list for the papers for next
Wednesday night as the publication
would be made on Thursday.
One of Alexandria's prominent
merchants came to the headquarters
this morning, as soon as they open
ed. with a contribution of $4,000.
The children in the schools and
Sunday schools are requested to re-
member that their contributions are
expected to be turned in on next
Sunday, and one of the reasons that
caused the delay in the publication
of names, was to give them an OPP
portunity to have their contributions
published with the others. This
should mike the children very active
from now until Sunday morning IN
securing subscriptions and seeing
which school accomplishes the best
results.
The High School girls and boys
@ere very active during the day and
everybody that did not surrender his
cash to them did not receive any
smiles from the pretty girls. The
Opera House should be crowded to-
night when their benefit for the hos
pital is staged.

WATERFR
SWEPT BY
FLAMES
Coast Line Export Terminals, With
$500,000 Contents, Lost Be-
fore Blaze Is Controlled.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan. 17.-Fre
which threatened to sweep the en-
tire water front of Jacksonville ragged
this afternoon on Tallyrand avenue in
the heart of the shipping district and
near the Bay street business section.
The Atlantic Coast Line export ter
minal buildings in which were stored
more than 100000 of goods, were lost
before the blaze was gotten under
control at $3.50 o'clock
The flames gained good Roadway
on account of failure to obtain water
for 80 minutes after the first alarm
before being checked.
Besides the big storage warehouse
of the Coast Line and the freight
stored there, the entire 600-foot
stretch of water front dock was licked
up by the angry flames
Two schooners and a steamer which
were loading at the terminals when
the fire broke out were hurriedly sent
out into the stream out of the danger
zone while five lumber lighters
moored to the docks were cut adrift
in the river.
A number of officials of the Allan
tic Coast Line Railroad were on the
scene cooperating with the fire de-
partment in the efforts to extinguish
the fire.
Several tugboats engaged in har-
Dor work rushed to the scene, assist
ing in handling the fire.
No accurate estimate of the loss al
this time can be made, but it is ex-
pected to exceed s1,000,000.
The fire originated on the dock Of
| Hirsch Lumber Company a tenant OF
the Atlantic Coast Line, and extended
to the big warehouse of the Coas'
Line, destroying $4,000 sacks of &C.
ment and fertilizer and a large guam
tity of bulk freight belonging to va
rious firms of the city.
The Wilson & Toomer fertilizer
plant and that of Armour & Co, To-
Gated near by, were saved from de-
struction by the efforts of the fire de-
| partment.
In addition to the Atlantic Coas
Line Railroad, the burned propert!
was occupied by the Atlantic Timber
and Land Corporation, W. A. Evans
& Co, exporters; Mason Forwarding
Company and Hirsch Lumber Com
| pany.
