EFFORTS IN AID OF BUILDING FUND The Plan Upon Which Subscrip- tions May Be Made. CONTENTS OF CIRCULAR A meeting of the citizens’ committee cf one hundred of the Y. M. C. A. was held last night at the residence of the presi- dent of the association, Mr. Charles E. Foster, 1017 16th street. The meeting, which was an enthusiastic one, was opened with prayer by Mr. Henry B. F. Macfarland, after which President Foster made a few introductory remarks. Mr. W. M. Multer, general secretary of the Y¥. M. C. A., presented a report, showing the present status of the building move- ment to date, the leading features of which are incorporated in a circular. Mr. W. B. Miller, secretary of the inter- national committee, made an address on the opportunities and possibilities of the ¥. M. C. A. in this city. He gave some helpful advice regarding the campaign for furds. Mr. Charles F. Nesbit, secretary of the citizens’ committee cf one hundred, talked of the plans and work of that committee. Mr. John B. Sieman, jr., presented briefly the general plan of the campaign for funds, which includes in addition to the canvass by the citizens’ committee, a canvass from house to house by the young people’s or- ganization of the city, a woman's auxiliary and other features tending to a thoroughly comprehensive movement for the raising of the funds necessary to build and equip a first-class Y. M. C. A. building. Names of Canvassers. The announcement was then made that the assignment of names for the canvass would be completed in a few days, and the active work begun. The meeting ad- jJourned after refreshments had been served. The circular referred to, which has been issued, says that the proposed new build- ing will be of the greatest advantage to the young men for whom it is intended. ‘The physical department will be so equip- ped as to develop, by systematic exercise, sound, healthy bodies, and to better fit young men for the strain of active busi- hess life. Continuing the circular says: “Three hundred students are now crowé- ed into poorly ventilated rooms. In the past, even though it has never had a well- adapted building, it has sent hundreds of n.en into good business positions, while thcusands have been fitted for positions of increased responsibility, with consequently increased pay. “The association has no creed; it is di- rected entirely by representatives of all evangelical churches. It seeks ever to point young men to the ideal manhood, which it believes is found in Jesus Christ. The Ruined Home. “Everywhere in the ruin of the old build- ing there are evidences of its unfitness for the use to which it has been placed. Its reading room is small and poorly venti- lated. Its educational class rooms compel, sometimes, a dozen students to stand or find seats on window sills, and makes no Provision for the hundreds who formerly came for the gymnasium, baths, lectures, or some of the mary privileges of which they are deprived by fire. “When the.c'd building was in use there were 1,200 members. Since the fire this number has been steadily decreasing until now we have less than 500, and we can- hot expect to hold more than the 300 or 400 who will continue as students unless we provide at least decent quarters. “A new building is a necessity, for rentec quarters can never be well adapted to the work of the association. A new building would enaole the association to take a place among the substantial institutions of the city. It would provide from stores and other rentable rooms, hall, etc., a revenue that. would erable it to conduct a larger, more varied and consequently a more at- tractive work. men are helping and the moat friendly interest is shown by the entire community. Over one hundred of our leading citizens stand at the head of the movement, and a number of generous sub- scriptions have already been made. “Every citizen should lend a hand and help in this enterprise. It will be best done if every citizen subscribes, and it will be quickest done if they do so at once. The safety of the futures of our 40,000 young men appeals to every honest citizen. Our city is a dangerous.sea to these young men. Why not erect a light house?’ The Financial Exhibit. The circular further states that the asso- clation.owns, free from debt, the lots 1400 and 1411 New York avenue; valued at $94,- 000; it-has acquired, by purchase, the lot adjoining, No. 1407, for $25,000.

Anthony Hope, the English author, who was in Washington yesterday and gave two readings of his works, was seen by a Star reporter. Mr. Hope is a young man of medium height and has the appearance of being an aetor of the romantic school —ivst such a-one,'in fact, who could-fill one of the leading rolls in his own Prisoner of Zenda. The author, in fact, has all the characteristics. of a legitimate actor, a!- though, perhaps, he! has one quality which wevld not be'powsessed by one of these, and that’ in his apparent. modesty. He is extremely quiet, without a show of awk- ward diffidence, and his'evident desire to be interested in anything which he is shown on his visit here ts very evident. At first appearance he gives one the idea of being younger than he really is, #l- though he is but between thirty-five and thirty-six. He has a bald spot on the crown of his head, which is the only thing that might go to prove that he has passed the thirty mark. His smile is frequent ard lights up his face to a remarkable degree, changing it wonderfully from the repese which it wears usually. His speech is, of course, English, with all the intuna- tions and emphasis supposed to be charac. teristic of the residents of the isle across the sea. All of the expressions of surprise ana wonder which are attributed to En- glishmen on their first visit to this country, likewise the amusing remarks credited to them, are absent in the unassuming young author. As is unusual, or as it is so regarded in English visitors here, Mr. Hope has a keen sense of humor, and can appreciate an American joke with as great a zest as do Americans themselves. This was evident yesterday when Major Pond, his manager, got off one of Artemus Ward's jokes. “Mr. John Russell Young, the librarian, was showing Mr. Hope the magnificent’ view from the top window of the brary bulld- ing “Over there,” said Maj. Pond, waving his arm in a certain direction, “is where tke celebrated battle of Bull Run was fcught, Mr. Hope, of which, of course, you have read. Artemus Ward remarked. in speaking of the battle, that although he was not a soldier, he certainly did admire the advance of the soldiers who fonght on his side on Washington.” As Mr. Ward was well known as a Union- ist, the point of the joke was very evident to any one who kiew the result of that fight. Whether Mr..Hope had been coach- ed by Maj. Pond or not on the same joke was not kn , but he laughed as heartily, or more heartily, in fact, than any mem- ber in the party when it was told. “I hope Bimon Date,” (the serial story now running im The Star). ‘will turn out all right,” Mr,, Hope modestly said when ha was asked something about it by the reporter. “I believe that the Prisoner of Zenda is my ¥dvorité novel, though I am very fond of Phroso."Generally I am great- ly Interested’ fj} what I write, but occa: sionally it happens that I grow tired and it becomes 801 ofa bore to me to do my work, it“probably does to any writer.
