Additional Subscriptions Received— Some of the Ornaments Design- ed for the Memortal. ‘The Army Correspondents’ Memorial As- sociation has collected $3,985, and has un- id subscriptions of $275 more. The fol- wing persons gave $100 each: C. P. Hun- Ungton, Stephen B. Elkins, John W. Mack- ay, Joseph Pulitzer, Whitelaw Reid, Wm. Bingcricy, H. H. Kohisaat, James Elverson, Calvin Wells, Joseph B.

In eddition the American Cement Com- | pany of Philwelphia gave 100 barrels of | cement, and American Encaustic Tile Company a variety of designs in tile. It will be observed from noting the names of editors and publishers above that no | paper in New Engiand contributed; the New York papers helpful are the Tribune. | World, News and Brooklyn Eagle, the Phil- adelphia papers, the Press, Record and In- i the Chicago papers, the Record and | Herald; other assisting papers are the Pittsburg Dispatch, Kansas City Star. Baltimore Sun and Washington Evening Star. The newspapers alone can complcte the subscription and make the memorial ‘worthy of their age. Newspapers with a large staff of army correspondents, like the New York Herzld, could be effective in memorializing their ople. one of whom—Mr. Wilson—was filled in battle. With $1,000 more contributed the army correspondents’ memorial could be built of all-dressed stone. The present subscription will only execute !t in rubble and broken range work and varying colored mountain stone. No delay, however, will be allowed to interpose, and the contracts will be given out by early April. Friends of the heroic age of the press and those who can see in this monument the inspifation of a higher example for the journalist are still invited to help this one @chievement of its kind in the world. The Only One of Its Kind. ‘There are monuments of printers and of authors, such as Diderot, Brunot, Defoe, Samuel Johnson, Voltatre and Grecley, but of the youth and knight errantry of the press this is probubly the only one. Re- spect for this enterprise is a good test of respect for the profession. The following are the inscriptions to be placed upon the ends of the army correspondents’ memorial in Bedford ster They should be in mar- i ble or purple stone, but the funds in hand do not permit. The north end will contain the following dedication and examples, ed pen and palm crossed: - To the Army Correspondents L. Casey making $110. thritled th: fireside, of rustics into on of readers educate prov! a brigat na ind gave to narrate dist nd bulun they ter.—Judges. with labor that they were ascer- these who were present in ‘3 did not give the same » same things.—Thucydides, hat handle the pen BC. enophon assured him with an oath that he should not have enough for his expenses in tiaveling home un he sold his horse and wi he had about him.—Anabasis, B.C, On quitting schcol I boldly undertook to write and relate the wars.—Froissart, 1357. y sent us back the news, which great- the whole country.—Philip de 1492. son stayed with General RBrad- @ock several days at Fredericktown, dined and had full opportunities. Know Mr. Trumbull as a man and an artist—Washington to Lafayette, 1791. “Dr. Livingstone, I presume."—Henry M. Stank, isil. The south end of tne memorial will con- tain the following: This sap was carriel by feneral W. B. Franklin's corps September 1, 1 against vr General Howell Cobb, when the Army of the Potomac, #ictorious on South Mountain, marched to Antietam. Abraham Lincoln soon visited these battlefields, felt the pulse of the soldiery, Proclamation of Emancipation. “I will be correspondent to command And do my spriting gently."—Tempest. The tablets in merble giving the nam: of the correspondents will be on the east, or rear of the structure. As thesc names ecst 10 cents a letter to engrave them, the Hist is probably to be weeded out and the incidental reporters omitted. It is proper to add that very few of the army writers have contributed or have influenced contri- butions. The memorial has therefore taken on a more ideal than personal character, end as such has a recommendation to the erganic press and the instinct of letters, Ornaments for the Arch. 3 The great arch is being dressed at Hum- | Army melstown, Pa. Some of the stones in it weigh a ton, and are three feet high and thick. These with the belt courses cost near $800. Heads of Poetry and Mercury are in the spandrels in terra cotta. The niche or recess on the line of the three upper arches will contain a metal figure of Orpheus half sheathing a sword and play- ing a wind or pardean pipe. It is to be regretted that want of means prevents the purchase of an original bronze fisure of Hero offered to the memorial for $1,500; she holds her torch aloft, welcoming Leander buffeting the waves. Horses’ heads are in the memorial near the battlements. If means permit the front face of this gateway at least will be built of hewn limestone. The superfices of the front are near forty feet square, with the tower and belie rising at the ends to near fifty feet. The economy of the enterprise can be seen from comparing its large dimensions with any of our pedestals of eqvestrian statues, which cost $15,000 to $40,000, or ‘with the lean Worth obelisk jn New York, Sha is some thirty feet’ high; ‘and cost 6,000. Mr. Henry Watterson has subscribed $250 to the army correspondents’ memorial: he was the correspondent of the lost cause who wrote liveliest. Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, who went from the expiring echoes of our war and our Indian wars, to Turkey, Abyssinia, Ashantee and the Soudan, has repeatedly written his interest in the army corre- spondents’ memorial from parliament. Three busts of our war correspondents, of which Stanley's will be one, if it can be af- fcrded, will humanize the memorial in the upper arches. ‘The active persons in this enterprise are Mr. George Alfred Townsend of Washing- ton city and Mr. Edward M. Mealey, the latter cashier of the Hagerstown Bank. They would like to raise $1,000 more, for which addition they could give better re- sults. ae To this day the potent pen of the revolu- ary war, which wrote the pamphlet to ade the army camps to come to the n of our full independence and pre- ceded the declaration of that namé by sev- eral months, has no cenotaph. Its author's first pamphlet was ected to the manu- ission of slaves in 1774, a work carried out Abraham Lincoln eighty-eight years later, after visiting the camps near the Correspondents’ Memorial, which umeut therefore marks the event and . the pen was the mightiest of of war. the swore ‘rhe spot of the monument in Crampton’s Gap, South Moun realizes the descrip- tion of President Lincoln, as given in Hay and Nicojay's life of him, re, about the time he wrote the proclamation of emangl- pation, these authors sa “He left his tent early in the morging and alked with a friend, Mr. O. M. Hatch of Illinois, to an eminence,. which commanded a view of a great part of the camp. For miles beneath them spread the white tents of the mighty hosts, glistening in the rising sun. Mr. Lincoin gazed for awhile in sitence upon the scene, then turned to his friend and said: ‘Do you know what this is” He answered in some astonishment, ‘It is the Army of the Potomac.’ ‘So it is called,’ re- sponded the President, ‘but that ts a mis- take: it is only McClellan's bodyguard.’ He went back to Washington; the proclamation of emancipation was promulated to the army on the 2tth of September, in general orders.”” This eminence described is in plain sight of Crampton’s Gap, and is only four miles distant; it Is called “McClellan's Lookout,” or signal station. A much better view is from South Mountain summit, opposite, two miles from the memorial, and on the same Tange. The memorial is expected to be dedi- cated September 24, 1896. Col.

HE RE Not So Elastic as Air, but It Was Bet- ter Than Walking. From the New York Post. Accidents happen to the bicyclist just often enough to put to test his ingenuity. Ordinarily a puncture of the rubber tire can be meaded on the road, but once in a lifetime a leak becomes unmanageable. “What's the wheel?” matter h your front queried the first farmer I met, ng in vain to fill a leaky tire with “Punetured,” I replied, ruefully. “Hey? “A stone cut the rubber, and the air is ‘ew don’t mean to say them things round the wheel are full of air, do ye, now?” “Of course—that is, one tire is, and the other isn’t. I w both were full. I can't travel this wa “Put the thing in the cart, an’ I'll see what [ kin do fur yew when we git to the house.”” I accepted the invitation, but thought lit- tle of the man’s offer to do anything for me, He lived in a pleasant farm house, and his board was spread elegantly fot me that night. We discussed wheels and wheeling in the evening, while I tried in vain to repair the tire. In the morning I s in a quandary. ‘ ‘It is nearly fifty miles to Plainfield, and I must walk unless this tire Is fixed, or I = hire a conveyance,” I said after break- ast. “Oh, no, yew won't,” the farmer replied. “T've n thinkin’ o’ the matter all night. Bring your wheel to the barn.” Once inside of the spacious barn, filled with lay and grains, he said: “Yew just open that tire, an’ we’ll fill it with this.” : He had brought a bag of fine bran, and in half an hour we had filled the rubber tire until it was as plump and round as the day I bought it The opening was then plastered over with a piece of rubber and cemented down. The mactine was a trifle heavier, but otherwise in good running order. I thanked the farmer, and resumed my journey, reaching Piainfield that after- noon, trailing behind me a fine track of bran. ——+<e«. Why He Did Not Speak. From the Chicago Inter-Ovean. Augustus Thomas at the Lotos Club dinner given in New York city recently for Chauncey M. Depew, told a story about the neat manner in which a guest who was tn- vited to speak at a dinner without notics evaded the issue. The dinner was.ane at which Mr. Depew and General Horace Porter had each made an address. When the speaker was called upon he said: “I went to tell you a story. There once lived in the west a parson. He had a large parish. In fact, was the regular circuit rider of the district. He was away from home when twins were born to him. ‘When he got back the attending physician tiptoed into the room and, turning down the coverlet, showed him the rosy, sleeping babies. The preacher looked at them long and earnestly, and then he turned to the doctor and said feeling! octor, they are both fine boys. apiece for them now—and I wouldn't give a blamed cent for another one.’ That is my feeling and yours. You don't want ‘another one’ after what nas gone before.” IN MUSICAL CIRCLES I wouldn't take $1,000. ‘The Choral Seciety’s Preparations for Giv- ing Mendelssohn's “Elijah.” "Some Notable Music to Be Given in the Churches Good Friday—Other Interesting Items. ‘The Choral Society has decided to give Mendelssohn’s oratorio of “Elijah” at Al- Jen's Grand Opera House April 21, the date that was fixed in the original announce- nent at the commencement of the season. There was some difference of opinion in the board as to whether it should be given in Convention Hall or the opera house. The advocates of the hall urged its greater size and seating capacity, but they were met by the argument that the opera house was more comfortable in every way, both fer singers and audience, and that people would pay the regular prices for admission. The prices of tickets were fixed at $1.50 for orchestra chairs, $1 for orchestra circle and the first three rows in the balcony, 75 cents for the rest of the balcony and 50 cents for the gallery. Some of the Indebtedness that hung over the society has already been liquidated, and there is a prospect that subscriptions to cancel the ful! amount and enable them to give the “Elijah” and finish the season tree from debt will come in. All the mem- bers of the board of directors are exerting themselves in this matter, and are meet- ing with good success in their appeals for assistance. Among the recent contribetors to the relief fund are Mrs. Thos. Nelson Vage and Woodward & Lothrop. As was intimated in this column a couple of weeks ago, the project for a concert by the Washington Symphony Orchestra this seascn has been abandoned. The fol- lcwing letter, written by Mr. E. H. Droop to the editor of The Evening Star, tells the story: “On behalf of Mr. Herman Rakemann’ and several other gentlemen who were in- terested with me in the forming of a per- manent ‘Washington Symphony Orchestra,’ I wish to thank you for the valuable and kind assistance given us through the col- umns of The Star, and at the same time to express my regret at the apparent in- difference shown this worthy undertak- ing by the musical public of Washington. No expense was spared to acquaint the people of our intentions. As financial map- ager and secretary, I sent out nearly 1, personal appeals, in each case asking for a subscription of $5, to be held as a ‘guar- antee fund.’ Not 100 replies did I receive! Those who did subscribe were, in a meas- ure, people of limited means, but thor- oughly alive to the musical interests of Washington. I do not wish to enter into any discussion whether or not our object could have been accomplished permanent- ly; suffice it to say, that, had the sub- scriptions met the mark I anticipated, Mr. Rakemann and I stood ready to fulfill our end of the contract. To those who so gen- erously responded to our appeal we owe a debi of sincere thanks, and wish to state that the money subscribed will be refund- ed upon demand at our office. It may be that at a future date we will undertake a similar enterprise, when we trust the responses will be more spontancou: There will be impressive musical serv- ices in all the Catholic churches on Good Fri Perhaps the most elaborate pro- gram will be given at St. Patrick's Church at night. The excellent choir, under the direction of Prof. Mariano Maina, will have the assistance of a full orchestra, and the sion will be one of great interest. The ervice will commence with chanting the Tenebrae, to be followed by Psalm 68; chorus, contralto solo, prayer ‘alvator Marchesi, sung by Mrs. Paulina Maina, and then Mercadante’s “Seven Last Words of Jesus on the Cross.” This splendid compo- sition will be given with full effect. There is an introduction by the chorus; the first word, a soprano solo, will be sung by Miss Blanche Mattingly; second word, the choir, qvartet and chorus; third word, tenor and bass duet, Messrs. Wm. D. McFarland and B. A. Ryan; fourth word, chorus; fifth word, tenor solo, Mr. Wm. D. McFarland; sixth word, baritone solo and chorus, solo Chas. Goodchild, and the se enth by the choir, quartet and chorus. The ven Last Words’ will also be sung at St. Aloysius Church Good Friday after- noon. An evening cf music, song and story will be given April 22 at the Church of Our Father, 13th and L, by the following well- known talent: Miss Katie V. Wilson, so- prano; Dr. J. W. Bischoff, Miss Alice Pills- bury, contralto; the Madrids, Wm. L. W: son, baritone, and David C. Bangs, lar reader and impersonator. Rossini’s “‘Stabat Mater” wil be sung at the Immaculate Conception Church at the tenebrae service on Good Friday by the full choir. The Georgetown Orchestra. will tur- nish the orchestral accompaniment to Haydn's sixteenth mass on Easter Sunday. In thé temporary absence of Prof. Geo. W. Walter, musical director, and Mrs. Jas. F. Oyster, alto, of All Souls’ Church choir, their places will be supplied by Prof. Thor- ald Jerichau, organist, and Miss Carrie Moore, contralto. Mr. Will Haley has mapped out the pro- gram for the last concert to be given this season by the Washington Military Band,of which he is the conductor. It will take place at Allen's Grand Opera House April 1). This band has made remerkable strides dur- ing its brief existence, but one reason is that te greater proportion of the members were formerly connected with the United States Marine Band and are the best per- formers in their class in the District. Mr. John Philip Sousa, when he was here last Sunday, spoke very kindly of Mr. Haley’s band and wished for it the greatest success. He said he would be glad to come on and attend the next concert, only he would be busy et that time in rehearsing his new opera, “El Capitan,” which {s to be pro- duced in Boston by De Wolf Hoppe Haley's program will include Scusa’s Regiment March," ent,” overture, selections from “Erminie, Titl's Serenade for Flute and French Horn, song and dance from “Lady Slavey,” se- he popu- lections from “Il Trovatore,” Vollstedt’s “Jolly Fellows Walt: descriptive fantasia, “A Cavalry Charg Mr. Haley's latest march, “The Elks’ Club,” dedicated to the Washington Lodge of Elks; Eilenberg’s humorous conceit, “The Band Strike,” and Di Konski’s “Caprice Heroique.” There will be but one vocal soloist, Miss Mary Helen Howe, who will sing the bolero from the “Sicilian Vespers,” with accompaniment by the band, The musicale at Mrs. Esputa Daly's studio Wednesday afternoon was a successful af- fair. Mr. Carl W.P. Stodder sang “Love Lies Bleeding” with fine effect. Miss Merl Espu- ta's selections were “The Flower Song” from ‘aust,” Lola's song, from ‘“‘Caval- leria Rusticana,”” and Matter’s waltz song, hat Joy.” Miss Mary Miller sang the ‘Spider and the Fly” and “Happy Birds.” Mrs. Daly was the recipient of many con- gratulations and flowers. She sang “Plat of Peace,” “Something Sweet to Tell You” and “Fiddle and I.” Little Norman Daly played in his usual finished style. At St. Peter’s Church, at the high mass tomorrow, Signor Andrea Coda will play Grand Concerto for clarinet, and the “‘Cujis Animam,” from Stabat Mater, by Lavarini. Miss Hattie Ritchie will sing “O Salutaris,” with clarinet obligato, at the offertory, ac- companied by Signor Coda. This choir is doing hard work for their Easter music, under the leadership of Mr. E. L. French, The quartet consists of Miss Hattie Ritch soprano; Miss Regina Baptista, contralto; John C, Weidman, tenor, and Wm. Deve- reaux, bass. ——.—__ An Opinion of Missionaries. John A. Cockerill in New York Herald. Cemmander Merrell, a member of the commission appointed to investigate the at- tacks made last October on American mis- sionaries, and who has hitherto shared some of the antipathy naturally entertain- ed in the United States navy toward mis- sionary workers, informed me that the trip to Chengtu had caused him to modify his views materially. He had doubted the sincerity of many missicnaries, and had been inclined to believe that a number of them fcund betier livings in China than eculd possibly have fallen to them at home. He saw no place in all his great journey where he could be induced to live for any lergth of time, no matter what the com persation. He saw something of the sac: rifices made by the missionaries in remote Cc He saw and noted their zeal, their earnestness and their untiring industry, He envied no one of them. He rea‘ized that they earned the remuneration allotted them ‘over and over and his sympathies went out to them. Upon this point I may say that the commission is absolutely unanimous. The report of the commis- sion will be ready in a few days. I fancy that its summing up will not be important, though it has faithfully -performed the duties assigned to it, AN ACHE, > A FEAR. A DISCOVERY! The above words are only few in number, but they tell a startling ‘story. It is the story of the man who sufters from diseased kidneys and im- pure blood. He has been ailing for some time past. He has complained of tired feelings, low spirits, dizzi- ness, constipation, dyspepsia, bad tasting mouth, coated tongue. He has been troubled with pains in the back and limbs, sick headaches. He gets alarmed and at last discovers the cause of these distressing symp- toms. This is not the experience of oné man alone. It is the experience of thousands of people who today find themselves in a bad state of health. They know they are ailing; they feel the need of a remedy, but they know not what to take... It is for just such people that War- ner’s Safe Cure is specially prescribed and recommended by eminent physi- cians. This is because it is no ordi- nary remedy, but a scientific discov- ery of the highest merit. It is not an experiment or a new thing, but a time-tried remedy that has stood the test of years. It is the best remedy for people who suffer from liver and kidney complaint and impure blood. There is nothing like it for building up the system and restoring the strength. sh ore Twelve Connundrums. From the Philadelphia Record. 1. What is that which increases the more you take from it?
