A Tribute To Mrs. Chas. r. Hogan

The announcement of the death of Mrs.
Hogan created at once in my heart sense
of personal loss. instantly my heart went out
to those on whom this blow so heavily falls
and whom, after four years of intimate
association, Mrs. Koontz and have learned
to count-as with others in Gaithersburg-
among our truest and dearest friends.
Knowing her as | have for nearly five
years past, am justified in saying that
nothing would more certainly be contrary
to her wishes than to have any fulsOme
words spoken at this time concerni ng her
self. 0blivious to her own virtues she
was content to live for others and like
the modest violet to breathe the sweet
ness of her own spirit into the lives of
those who knew her best.
However, want to express in brief form
my own regard for MY departed friend.
Through those who were close TO me as
well as to her it was my privilege to come
close to her and to acquire some know-
edge of her real character which might
otherwise have been denied me.
Mrs. Hogan was far being an ordinary
woman. She was possessed of genuine
worth. modest of spirit, refined in taste,
retiring in disposition; she was at the
same time a woman of unusual mental
power, marked by keen intelligence and
sound judgment. Had il not been that she
was Of heroic mold and strong will her frail
body would long since have succumbed to
the strain Of the tasks she set for herself
to accomplish.
Their successful completion will be her
enduring monument. A stranger calling the
Telephone Exchange and hearing the CHEEKY
tone Of her voice in reply which was so
familiar to me during four years, would
never have dreamed she was battling
against bodily frailties which would have
put thousands of others in bed or would
have sent them to the santarium for their
health yet she chung tenaciOusly to the
performance of her self-appointed duties
in all good conscience to the last
Mrs Hogan was one Of the few people
have known whom never heard say an
unkind word about anybody. have seen
her when she had the opportunity. and
what some would call the justification, for
such action. but in all the time have
known her have never heard directly or
indirectly from her lips single uncharit-
able word concerning any person.
She wrought well, and now lifes labor
done she rests well. We bid thee. dear
one. fond and fearful farewell. while the
hope dwells In our hearts that we shall
meet again.

Former Pastor Of Epworth M. E. Church.

relieve the voter Of his troubles and select
his candidate. With the multiplicity Of
offices to be filled by the people the ma
chine serves an indispensable purpose
whether its work is well or badly done.
The people must turn to those who make
study of the situation; know something
of the personnel of those desiring election
and who will judge for them. They accept
their judgment, particularly in those re-
spects in which the people have no espe-
cial interest. The power TO exercise this
judgment for the people in an effective
way has an immediate cash value to the
machine. II has something to give and
can levy contributions upon those seeking
Offices while its control over the workers
makes its support valuable. Thus, under
the very shadow of the constitution and
because of its provisions, there grows up
a body which undertakes to do the work for
the people which the people themselves
have not the knowledge or the opportu-
nifty to do. The details of the changes
needed and the consequences to flow from
them, deserve further consideration.

Ben Hur At The National.

Klaw & changers wonderful production
of Ben Hur" is the booking for the New
National Theatre. Washington, for week
beginning Monday. February 5th.
The play has been crowding the Man
haitian Opera House. New York City. for
many weeks, and Washington directly fol-
lows the New York engagement.
Looking at ben Hur" from any point of
view-as serious drama. gorgeous specta-
Gle, mechanical exhibit of the best modern
stage craft, or an example Of the best COM
position in Greek and Oriental music-it
is distinctive and distinguished. The pres
ent production of the play. so far as the
embellishing effects of the stage 60, is en-
tirely new and Orientally rich. Three
hundred and fifty living people are con-
cerned in the swiftly changing scenes Of
the play and twenty horses participate in
the wildly stirring chariot race. The Grove
of Daphne, the Fountain of Castalia and
the Summit of Mount 0livet. are admirable
pictures of the ancient scenes of the deeply
dramatic story. The music is singularly
fine, and was written to fit the scenes and
incidents and atmosphere Of the play. Ii
is the work of Prof Edgar Stillman Kelley,
an authority in this country on Greek and
Oriental music.
This is the only play that Billy Sunday.
the noted evangelist. has ever referred TO
as worthy Of praise. He said, 81 wish one
hundred million people could see it, and |
should like nothing better than to talk to
$4,000 men and women just after they
had seen Ben Hur'
The curtain on this huge spectacle rises
promptly at O'Clock in the evening. and
at 2 o'clock for matinees. which will be
given on Wednesday and Saturday.
