The forenoon matinee OF Hiawatha
for the school children Saturday fore
noon at the City Opera house. was a
great success. There was large at
tendance and the fine work of the cast
in the opening performance on Thurs
day evening was repeated. The enter
tainment has been one of the finest that
has been held here for long time and
the largest share of the credit for the
success is due to Miss Eva Scates who
had charge of the cast and to Miss Ruth
Abbott who assisted her. The Coburn
and Colby students also did great deal
of work in preparation for it and as
sisted materially in its success.

Association Has Deserved
Well of Country.
I'm EVERY birthday of George Wash

I'm EVERY birthday of George Wash
" ington for the last IL years q
meeting of q small but distinguished
body has been held In the city OF
Washington. This body is the Wash
lngton National Monument society,
the organization which brought about
the construction of the giant shaft
which dominates the landscape In the
federal city.
While the war department has the
care and custody of the Washington
monument, this society has a quasi
public status, exercises a paternal
watchfulness over 1t, possesses the
right to send maGi under frank and
stands ready to resist any plan or pro.
posal which seeks to change In any
way the monument or its surround
ings.
John Marshall, thai great jurist, was
the society's first president. Since
then, beginning with Jackson, the
presidents of the United States have
been ex-officio presidents of the So
ciety
The organization of the monument
society In 1888 was undertaken by
representative citizens Of Washington,
after long experience had caused them
to despair of congress acting In the
matter OF erecting memorial to
George Washington. The continental
congress as early as 1888 had promised
to erect memorial to Washington,
and Major L'Enfant, In laying out the
city of Washington, had set apart res
ervation No. g." containing 30 acres
on which the monument now stands
as the site for memorial to Washing
ton and his compatriots.
The monument society on organiza-
ton issued an appeal to the country
and proceeded to collect subscriptions
In amounts not exceeding one dollar
to erect monument Money came In
fairly we'll. Then the society. having
found privately-owned sites increasing
in price whenever the owners were APP
preached. appealed to congress In 1888
asking the donation OF a site. Not I'M
I'll 1S4S did congress respond with a

sive ceremonies.
Actively the society continued to
raise money throughout the country
and to rear the monument. Six years
after the cornerstone had been laid
the shaft had reached height of 1853
feet, at an expense, all paid by pri-
yate subscription. of some $230.000.
At last, in 1876, congress voted $780,
900 for the building of the monument
to be appropriated at the rate of $780,
900 a year The law provided for the
work 10 be carried on by commits

THOSE who journey south to meet

range of choice In the new millinery.
In shape there are the diminutive pill

bans, all sorts and kinds OF sailors,
many military styles, and lovely wide
brimmed hats in lacy straws and d.
aphanous materials.
As for trimmings, there are many

decorations OF silk. straw. kid. feath'
ers and other things
Handwork is featured In this new
millinery. Ornamental stitches In
needlework, much exaggerated in size,
and cross-stitched designs are used
IN finishing and applying trimming.
In fact, a large part of the decora.
tions are sewed fiat to the shape in
the form of applique. the sewing being
an important part of the scheme
In colors, beside the beautiful sand,
Irvine, and tan colors. there are many
white hats. including panamas, a gray
which is called "battleship" gray,
without any good reason, and many
shades of blue and red that may be
called reserved" Black seems not
to be in the running.
Three of the smaller hats are shown
in the picture. AT the left is narrow
brimmed sailor OF white satin. II Is
carefully made and distinguished by
trimming of small chrysanthemums
cut from white kid. and stems made
of kid also.
A dark gray hat of satin belongs
among the boat-shaped models and is
trimmed with short peacock feathers
and leaf-shaped pieces OF velvet sewed
fiat to the shape with the heavy
black embroidery silk. The buttonhole
stitch outlines the leaves. and the
leaves overlap the edges OF the pea

MONEY FoR GOVERNMENT.

Liquor Man--Where will you get the
money to run the government II you
cut out the sale OF liquor?
Temperance Mantle best answer
know OF is the action OF the four
great nations, which. at time when
every cent that can be got is urgently
needed for the conduct of the war,
finds II more profitable to reduce this
revenue than to run the risks inciden'
tai upon the general use of alcoholic
drinks among the soldiers and. as in

A pretty blouse is shown here OF
wool crepe showing shaded stripes in
yellow. brown, gray and occasional
fine lines of black. 1t is made with
a yoke and has long sleeves. neat
collar OF batiste finishes the neck
Such waist will wear long time
without needing to be washed, and
will stand the washing, when 1t must
be done, without detriment to its col
ors. That is, IL care is taken, almost
any waist made can be successfully
washed
Printed chiffons are liked for dres'
sier waists and are made up with
laces into the loveliest affairs. En-
broidered voiles are dainty and more
lasting than chiffons. II one wishes a
sheer, fine. lacy-looking waist that
will last long enough to pay for any
amount of elaborate work in making
and decoration, fine cotton wolfe Is OF
all fabrics the best to use.

A BIT oE HISTORY.

Experience has shown that the clos
ing up of the saloons and the outlaw.
ing OF the liquor traffic has always
proved great benefit to every legi.
innate industry. A chapter in the
history of ireland furnishes graphic
illustration During the years 1S09-10
and 1894 the distilleries OF ireland
were stopped on account OF the fam
inc. on the ground that these distil
leries wasted the grain that might
otherwise be used by the people as
food. The results were surprising.
The consumption of spirits fell off
nca,.y one-half. On the other hand.
there was tremendous increase in
the demand for dry goods. blankets,
cotton goods, sugar. hardware, crock
cry, groceries and other necessities.
thus showing that year OF scarcity
With prohibition is better than a year
of plenty without 1t.
