BROWNSON INSPECTS SHIPS. To the Editor of The Evening Star: The press dispatches a few days ago con- tain2d a suggestion from a leading English newspaper as to the name that should be selected for the battle ship Amazonas, that was recently purchased by this govern- ment. The Anglo-America was the name preposed. Without raising any question as to the value or propriety of the suggestion, it has occurred to the writer that there is another name which would perhaps appeal more strongly to the American citizen than any other that could b> given. Why would not it be a good idea to call the re- cent addition to the American navy the Maine, and place in command of her Capt. Sigsbee and the “martyred few” who sur- vived the Havana tragedy? Whil2 I am not gifted in nautical science or familiar with the precedents that govern the naval authoriifes, in my opinion such a name would giv2 to the new vessel a fame as sacred as the memory of its lamented crew. March 21, 1898. W —————— Epworth Oratorical Association.

Soe tis Varied and Valuable Contributions Continue te Pour In. GENERAL ACTIVITY Every week brings new developments to show that the approaching fair and ex- Position in aid of -the National Masonic Temple fund, which will open April 11 in Convention Hall and the adjoining ar- mory annex, will be an event that will stand by itself in the history of such en- terprises. Ordinarily fairs are open only at night and the afternoon crowds that have been so prominent at food shows and similar exhibitions have had no oppor- tunity to spend their- hours of post-meri- dian ieisure in visiting them. With a view to accoramodate this large portion of the community the board of control decided at its meeting held Saturday night at head- quarters, No. 1425 New York avenue, to open the fair at 3 o'clock each afternoon after April 11. This decision will probably require a reassignment of the duties of the members and ladies of some of the Dis- trict Masonic bodies, but there is ng doubt the action will be warmly approved, mean- ing as it does so mutch more substantial success for the undertaking. Other mat- ters of importance were considered at the meeting. President J. H. Small, jr., was in the chair, with Howard Perry, secretary, and the attendance included James L. Norris, John H. Olcott, Edwin B. Hay, Frank H. Thomas, George Gibson, Thomas P. Morgan, James Lansburgh and Samuel H. Walker. Mr. Hay, chairman of the entertainment committee, reported that the services of the Soldiers’ Home Band had been tendered two nights of the fair for specialties and that his committee had been advised of donations of a bicycle and @ piano. Mr. Allison Nailor, jr., reported the donation by Mr. Edward H. Warker of New York of one of the bricks from the original tomb of Gen. U. 8. Grant at Riverside Park. The brick was accom- panied by a certificate of its genuineness from Contractor Brady, who removed the tomb, and is one of the only twelve in ex- istence known to be genuine relics. Checring Assistance. Seoretary Howard Perry read a large number of letters from friends of the en- terprise, showing their deep interest in it. Every missive contained either cash or a check or the announcement of the dona- tion of some valuable article. The report of Chairman.Frank H. Thom- as of the committee on outside donations told the same gratifying story of the wide- spread interest in the project for a na- tional Masonic Temple in the national cap- {tal being shown by Masons, individual and collective, throughout the Union. A large number of extracts from the letters received were included in the report, a few of which were af follows: “From Lake {ity Lodge, Lake. City, Fla.: ‘We herewith inglose $5 as our con- tribution toward the pil Temple in the fity/'pf Washington. wisn you the fullest your noble and glo “Nine Mile Logge,ii are few in number poor in purse, approve of the work you have in hand.

Hopkins. letter was read from the secretary of Myron M. Parker Lodge stating that It found it impracticable to conduct atroth at the fair with credit to: itslf or benefit to the project, and requesting cancellation of the booth space assigned it. This was regretfully complied with, and Director General Evans was instructed to make any other disposition of tha space that he deem- ed proper. A Big Autograph Album. The suggestion from Mr. George M. Bond that a-railroad booth be established at the fair where railroads could display pictures and advertisements was favorably receiv3d and referred to a special committee with power to act. The same approving atten- tion was given to a letter from D. P. Ben- ton of th> Post Office Department offering to present to the fair on behalf of Garfield Lodge, No. 569, of Hammond, Ind., a hand- somely bound register capable for the en- rciiment of 5,000 names, to be placed in a conspicuous place near the main sntrance to Convention Hall. Mr. Benton suggested that President McKinley and Vice Presi- dent Hobart should sign their names on the first and second folios, respectively, and other persons fill the remainder of the book at 5 cents an autograph; the album to be deposited in the corner stone of the National Masonic Tsmple. The proposition Was referred to the proper committee and will doubtless be adopted. President Small, a8 chairman of the dec- orations committee, recommended th3 ac- ceptanc; of the bid of Galloway and Pardoe to place the electric lighting fixtures in Convention Hall at their figure ef $1,030, stating that Mr. John C. Rau, who bid $546.15 for the same work, and whose bid had been accepted last week, had with- drawn it. This was ordered, as well as the acceptance of the bid of David Towers to do the supplementary électric work in the armory annex for a Activity Of the Endies.
