The children of the public schools will be given in opportunity to show their love for the defenders of the republic and to the cause for which they fought and died, by contributing flowers to be strewn upon their graves, and in the houses of worship, among all denominations, there will be ap- propriate services, commemorative of the men who preserved the netion. ; There will be services on the Sist instant ac Arlington, Soldiers’ Home, Congressional cemetery and at other cemeteries about the city, including St. Elizabeth's Asylum, at which ittis expected to have an unusually lerge attendance this year.

Clarkson has issued an address, designated as general orders, No. 6, to the state encampments, as follows: The nation’s Sabbath day—that day upon which patriotic people gather together everywhere to do honor to their sacred dead—is again upon us. Let us, as is most fitting, unite in making the solemn services of Memorial day as impressive as possible by appropriate exercises and by strewing beautiful flowers uron the graves of our ecmrades, and so show to the world that as citizens we appreciate their great sac- rifices for their country, and as comrades, we revere their memories, and to the rising generation that he who dies for his coun- try, dies nobly. In the words of the lamented Logan: “If other eyes grow dull, and other hands slack and other hearts cold in the solemn trust ours shall keep it as long as the light and warmth of life remains to us.” Let us invite to our assistance in this pa- triotic work that noble band of workers, the Woman's Relief Corps, who have done so much toward the success of our great organization, and also the Sons of Veter- ans, who must soon take up the work which the ravages of ae shall compel us to lay down. In the interest of patriotic instruction to the children it is earnestly hoped that the laudable work of talking to the chil- dren of the public schools on the subjects and lessons of Memorial day by a veteran, now so gerieral throughout the order, will pees <5 So immense are the fa- cilities—so large the plant 4 —that every collar and 4 cuff worn in Washington } can be laundered at the 4 Yale, 518 1oth—’phone 4 1092. : 4 Send for a wagon. 4 4 ee re re wre wre eee be. observed this pie tee and hereafter, in every public school.

The 30th of May falling this year on Sun- day, Memorial day will be observed ac- cording to rules and regulations, on the preceding day, except in such states as by law or custom observe the succeeding day. Comrades, as we grow older, let us be more particular in the observance of this sacred day, and let us discourage the hold- ing of games and frivolous amusements therecn by thoughtless people in every Pose sible way. "By resolution the thirtieth national en- campment recommended that the reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg address be made a special feature of Memorial day exercises held\under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Republic. The address is appended hereto, and those in charge of the exercises on Me- mortal day’ will cause the same to be read at such time during the exercises as may be most fitting. —_—__ ‘ SCHOOL TERM CLOSES.

Immediately af- ter the concert he-took the train for New York, and will not ‘@e heard here again for some time. A largenudience was in attend- ance last night, andthe applause which was given both Huberman .and Miss Heyman, the pianist who asststeé him, was enthasi- astic. At the conclusiomof the last number the audience declined toleave and applaud- ed until the boy came back to play another number. Miss Heyman's work on the piano showed that she pesesses a splendid tech- nique and no small amount of power of ex- pression. As the accompanist of Huber- man, her work should-entitle her to high rank. She played :ai solo number, Brahm's “Curdante and Scherzo,” Chopin's “Rain- drop,” etude, and a Chopin waltz, receiving an emphatic encore:to the last. Huberman played the Wieniawski concerto in D in its entirety, Chopin's second nocturne and two numbers by Sarasate,.‘‘Romanza Audoluza” and “Gotta Navarra.” Of course, his best work was shown in the concerto, and his power of expression was more plainly evi- dent in the Chopin nocturne and in Sera- sate’s first number.As an encore to his last number he played ‘Traumerie” with the same exquisite beauty of expression that he gave when he played it at his first con- cert. THE MADRIDS’ CONCERT.—The con- cert by the “Madrids” ta be given at the Columbia Theater tonight promises to be an enjoyable affair. The feature of the program will be a mandolin, guitar and banjo orchestra of 100 pieces, under the direction of A: V. Holmes, which will give a number of selections. The Madrids will be assisted by a number of well-known local entertainers, including W. V. Price, Herman C. Rakemann, violinist; E. H. Droop, pianist; Mrs. Nellie Wilson Shi Cliff, soprano; Prof. Bischoff, pianist; John Tweedale, reater; Miss Pauline Bliss, fancy dancer, by permission of Prof. Caru- 4na; members of the Burnt Cork Club, in- cluding the Burnt Cork Quartet, consisting of Messrs. Shackelford, Wise, Gessford and Middieton; Steve Clements, banjoist, and Milt. Clark, whistler; pupils of Caruana in the “oriental ballet;* a cake walk by the pupils of Miss Minnie Hawke; Prof. Leo Wheat, pianist: W. H. Conley, comic sing- er, and members of the Carroll Institute Drarratic Club, including Miss Annie Hath- away, Miss Nora Cocker, Percy F. Leach and Edward J. Walsh. The Madrids will, of course, be heard in a number of selec- tiens. “THE CROSS AGAINST THE CRES- CENT."—The daily accounts of the piucky strife that Greece is waging single-handed against Turkey and her combined Euro- pean backing read like pages out of tie history of past centuries. This is practi- cally a religious war, recalling the former days when Moslem assailed Christian. A lecture descriptive of the places and peo- ples, illustrated by authentic views of Greece, Turkey and Crete, such as Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis will this evening deliver in the Western Presbyterian Church, is specially well timed, and will probably bring together a large audience. ST. JOHN’S CHOIR’S CONCERT.—The choristers of St. John’s parish will give their annual outing concert tomorrow even- ing at ihe parish hall, 819 16th street, at o'clock. The choir usually has an outing of about ten deys Curing the first part of July at Piney Point, on the Potomac, and the object of this concert is to raise funds for that purpose. The sale of tickets has been exceedingly good, and a sufficient sum will probably be realized. The choristers will sing several four-part and two-part glees, among them being Fahing’s “Song of th Vikings,” “There is:Music by the Rive by King Hall; ‘My Love is Like the Red, Red Rose,” by Garrett; “Sing, Smile, Slum- ber,” by Pinsuti, amd “Morning Song,” by King Hall. The choir will be assisted by the Apollo Quartet and the Montrose Man- olin Club, Mr. Arthur: Mayo, pianist, and Prof. Jno. Theophil, organist of the church. Mr. W. H. Daniel will direct.

Prompt Action of Foreman Wagner's Company Saved a Human Life. The splendid efficiency and discipline of the District fire department were never, perhaps, better demonstrated than on Sat- urday evening, when, by the promptness of engine company No. 7 in responding to an alarm, and the intelligent work of Fore- man Wagner and his men, the life of a human being was saved. It lacked a few minutes of $ o'clock, when the televhone bell in No. 7 house rarg, the message being that the company was wanted at Sth and N streets. Al- thovgh early in the evening, most of the men had retired, but within a few seconds after the local alarm had been received, and Foreman Wagner had given the signal “Turn out,” the horses were hitched up, the men up in their places and the drivers waitirg for the word “Go.” Just as the command was given the regular alarm from box 212, 7th and M streets, sounded, but Foreman Wagner did not wait to catch it, and out into the street the im- patient -horses Gashed with the apparatus. House 1254 8th street is a three-story brick, occupied by 8. E. Trott and family. A little girl in the household, shortly be- fore 8 o'clock, lighted a gas jet on the sec- ond floor, and in so doing accidentally dropped a burning match. In an instant it ignited the carvet and fringe on a couch. The litle one attempted to extinguish the blaze, but failed to do so, and in a few moments almost the entire rear part of the secord floor was in flames. All but one of the occupants of the house escaped to the street, the unfortunate one being Peter Lornei, a young man who or- cupied a room on the third floor. Mr. Lor- nei was asleep at the time, just convalesc- ing from a severe attack of the grip. Be- ing suddenly awakened by the smoke and cries of the family, he attempted to make his way down the stairs, but discovered that means of escape to be cut off by the flames and smoke. He then clambered out upon the sill of a front window, aimost suffocated by the dense volume of smoke which poured out of the windows. Mean- time, some one had run to a drug store to telephone for the fire department, and while that message was being sent through fire alarm headquarters to No. 7 engine company, Policeman Copeland was on his way to the box at 7th and M streets. A great crowd had been by this time at- tracted to the house, and while some called to Lornei to jump rather than be burned or suffocated, others encouraged him to hold on, telling him that help would soon be at hand. Wcakened by sickness and almost blinded by the smoke which poured out of the burning house, the young man had about given up hope, and was on the point of jumping to the pavement below, when the clanging bells of the apparatus of No. 7 company were heard in the dis- tance. The crowd shouted encouragingly to the almost desperate man hanging above them, and a mighty cheer went up as the company’s hose carriage, with the horses or a dead run, dashed up and stopped in front of the house, the engine stopping at the plug at the corner. On the hose carriage were four short lad- Breen anen gases eaeeeese Sees 3 Suffered Intensely 3 Sores on the Limbs Fol- $ low an Attack of Ty- phoid Fever -- Hood’s Sarsaparilla Com- pletely Cures. ‘When I was only seven years old I had @ severe attack of typhoid fever, and after I recovered I was taken with a terrible serofula trouble.

Almost before.the panting horses had been reined up, Foreman Wagner and Assistant Foreman August Grimm hai sprung from the hose carriage, and in a moment were coupling the ladders together. As rapidly ag they were coupied, Grimm raised them on his broad shoulders and pushed them up to the window from which Lornei was hanging. When but three of the four ladders had been coupled and Taised, the almcet suffocated man swung onto the top round, clinging to it as Grimm steadied the spliced ladder. In another second the fourth ladder had been coupled, and Foreman Wagher mounted !t, catching Lornei just as he’ was about to relinquish his-hold through weakness. Throwing one arm around the man, Foreman Wagner slowly backed down the ladder through the smoke which came from the burning house, and, amid.the cheers of the crowd, soon Placed him on the ground in safety. Then, after the sick man had been placed in a patrol wagon, which had responded to the regular alarm, as had truck D and en- gines No. 1 and No. 6, Foreman Wagner and his men calmly gave their undivided attention to the conflagration, as if the saving of human life was an ordinary, every-day matter with them. But when the fire, a very stubborn one, entailing a loss of about $600 to the furniture and building, had been subdued, Foreman Wagner and his men were warmly congratulated and highly praised. Had the company waited to catch the regular alarm Lornei would have fallen or jumped to almost certain death before its arrival, for his rescue was accomplished not a second too soon, and before the ar- rival of either the truck or the other en- gine companies. Lornei was taken to the Emergency Hos- pital, where he soon recovered after trea’ ment. It is feared, however, that the great quar Uty of smoke he inhaled while hang- ing te the window will seriously affect aim. ss Poundmaster Einstein's report to the health officer shows that last week he cap- tured forty-nine dogs and one horse.
