Lazlness

The trouble with Hiram H.
Hazy, whose prospect of riches
is slim, is that he is painfully
lazy, and work is a nightmare to
him. He sees the procession of
winners, with prizes and medals
bedight, and he, most detected of
sinners, remarks that his luck is
a fright. He sits in the shade and
discourses OF war. and such topics,
all day, and keeps up his spiel till
he hoarse is, while others are har-
vesting hay. He talks of the
needs of our navy, and proves
that our army is punk, while
neighbors are hustling like gravy,
and earning the shimmering
PUNK. And so while the others
are drilling around in praise
worthy cause, he sits by the post
Office killing the time with a lank
pair of jaws. He's talking of men
and of measures injecting this
land OF the free; while others
have comforts and pleasures, he's
broke, as he always will be. He
might have a home and an auto,
he might have a watch and al
chain, lawn with fountain and
grotto, If he would be active and
sane. His friends are all tired
and Disguised with seeing him
sit in the shade, but Hiram would
rather be busted than brandish a !
hoe or a spade

THOUSANDS ENTERTAINED
ABOARD navy VESSELS

The display of naval vessels was COM
pleted yesterday with the arrival of
the torpedo boat destyoyers Wake,
Monaghan, Perry. Rowe, Sterrett and
Perkins in the order named. On the
Highway bridge waiting to see them
pass was a throng of visitors and the
manner of working into position be-
tween the Dolphin and the torpedo
boats up toward Georgetown and an
choring bow and stern was watched
with interest.
The destroyers are each over 800 feet
long. They are anchored in pairs, the
Perry lying alongside the Perkins, the
Monaghan with the Sterrett and the
Wake and Rowe together. The latter
ship was not mentioned in the list of
vessels ordered here and her coming
makes thirteen ships in the feet.
The naval ships are attracting much
attention not only from the visitors,
but from the home people as well, and
the sea wall along Potomac Park this
morning was crowded with people
watching the ships. The launches
employed in taking visitors to the
ships are being kept busy and,
under the direction of Capt A H.
Gregory, are kept moving without a
hitch, except when one launch captain
mistook directions given him and put
his boat ashore about forty feet from
the float. The passengers on the
stranded launch were transferred to
another boat, and she was left to act
aftoat with the rising tide.
Owing to the very shoal water at the
foot of 18th street, the float was this
morning transferred to about the foot
of 22d street, near the Lincoln me-
mortal, where the water close to the
Potomac Park wall is deeper, and from
this point launches are going to and
returning from the ships.
While the big torpedo-boat destroy
ers attract many visitors, the Presi-
dents yacht, Mayflower, the largest
vessel of the show fleet. attracts most
of the visitors, and the launches rum
ming to it are kept busy. During the
stay of the fleet here they will be open
to visitors from 10 am. to noon and
from l until $50 o'clock.
Last night a searchllght drill that
could be seen from the Highway bridge
or from the Potomac Park south sea-
wall took place. The ships also will
be beautifully Illuminated with rows
of electric lights strung to the top of
their masts and about their sides.

ST. A[OYS|US
GOES TO PHILADELPHIA
Rev. Eugene De Lowery Mcdonnell,
S. j., Is Ordered to Join Jesuit
Mission Band.

Rev. Eugene de Lowery Mcdonnell.
S. J., rector Of st. Aloysius Roman
Catholic Church for the past six years.
as president of Gonzaga College. has
of the general of the Jesuits in Rome
and ordered to join the Jesuit mission
band, which has its headquarters in
Philadelphia. He left shortly after the
receipt of his orders for the City of
Brotherly Love to take up the work of
his new assignment.
Rev. S. S. Donnelly, S. j., is the new
pastor. He arrived at st. Aioysius rec
tory Monday evening about o'clock. He
has been professor Of rhetoric at the
Jesuit Novitiate at Poughkeepsie. N. Y.
The news of the pastors transfer to
Philadelphia came as a big surprise
even to the members of the clergy of
St. Aloysius parish, and much regret is
being expressed by members of the
parish, which includes about 5000 mem
bers and is the largest Roman Catholic
parish In the city.
The retiring pastor came to st.
Aloysius Church in 1904 as vice presi-
dent of Gonzaga College, serving in
this capacity for five years. At the
end of this assignment he was desig-
mated as rector of the church and pres
ident of the college. in succession to
Rev. Edward Lyon, S. j.
Since his entrance on this work he
has built the new Gonzaga College and
organized the Third Sunday Brigade. an
organisation of 1000 men who receive
holy communion at the church on
each third Sunday of the month.
When the transfers of the Jesuits
were made on July 81 Of this year it
was expected that on account of being
the Oldest pastor Of the Jesuits in this
province the pastor would be trans
ferred to some other field. AS he was
not included in the list of changes an
ncunced, it was expected that he would
remain in this city at least for another
year.
However, it is pointed out, it would
seem that the general of the Jesuits
in Rome, being aware of the splendid
results he has secured in his work at
ST. Aloysius parish, desired to avail the
order of his services with the mission
band, the effort of which Is regarded Is
particularly difficult.

CLERKS ARE CRITICISED
FOR SMOKING IN OFFICE
Citizens Association Hears obiec-
ton to Practice Said to Prevail
in District Building.

Adverse criticism of certain clerks in
the District building for cigarette
smoking during office hours was
registered at a meeting of the North
Capitol and lexington Citizens Asso-
citation in the lecture hall of the
lexington Presbyterian Church last
evening. John S. Sheehan brought up
the question, suggesting that it was
not right for the clerks to smoke while
on duty. He made no motion, however,
nor did any of the others present, al
though some of the other members
agreed with him.
Il do not believe any business place
would allow such a thing as that"
said Mr.. Sheehan. Suppose your wife,
your daughter or your sister went into
place to make purchase or pay
bill. do you think any business place
would allow the clerk to wait on them
while smoking a cigarette? / was re-
Gently in the surveyors Office, and
while there saw two clerks smoking
one young man and the other DOS
sibly in his sixties"
DR.. Edgar D. Thompson, president of
the association. said he thought smok-
Ing by clerks in the District building
during Office hours was prohibited, but
that 1t might be that certain clerks
had taken advantage Of the absence of
the men over them at various times
A request is to be made for the plant
ing of trees on v street between Lin
coin road and I'd street. The planting
here has been delayed because of a
lack of curbing. This has recently
been remedfed, however.
The association decided not to hold
meeting next month. At the November
meeting officers are to be elected. The
question of whether or not special
speakers should be obtained for the
meetings this winter, as was done last
year. was brought up by DR.. Thompson
On motion of A. Coulter Wells the mat
ter will be left to the discretion of the
