An orphan nt the nge of fourteen! Her father, Unlpli Town (end, illctt on Thursday after n long and severe Illness. In fnct he never quite re gained his strength nfter the nttnek of sickness ho had at the time of his wife's denth. You remember nbout two years apn when Daisy Godfrey Townscnd, his beautiful wife, died of pneumonia Sir. Townscnd was desperately 111 with the snmo tllscnsc. They were a most chnrmiig rouple and very t (lev'oted, and every one feels so sorry for their lovely little daughter Anne. 1 remem ber when 1 wns growing up I used to think that Mrs. Townscnd, then Daisy Godfrey, wns one of the most beautiful girls I hall ever looked upon. She used to go to Illt tenhouse Square in the afternoon, and we rhlldren who played there thought she wns simply ton lovely for anything. She wns tall and dark and had such beautiful teeth . and the most winning smile, nnd she always wore just the right clothes. And besides her beauty she was one of the most amiable girls of her age. Mr. Townsend will bo buried today out in the churchyard of St. James the Less, in Slana unk. QJEVERAIi persons who have been staging " over in Xcw York lately hnve told me there is the greatest distress in circles social over there because the famous Sherry's is to be closed. Sherry's has been n pnrt of New York for so long that it will be very hard to find just the right plnce for the parties that hnve always been given there.. They tell me it has been decided to hold the Metropolitan Dawes at the Ititz-Carlton next winter, and they are to be on Decem ber 127, February 1-1, 1020. and April it, 1020. What they will do about the Junior Assemblies is not yet settled, but the Ilitz ballroom is not large enough. I'erhnps they will go farther downtown again. Who can tell? Anyway, I am sorry to think that it will not be possible to get any of Sherry's delicious food next time T go to Xcw Yoik unless I race over there before May 17. T WENT down the river the other day to meet one of the incoming transports with men of the Twenty-eighth Division aboard, nnd will you believe me there was not a bnnd there, not a sound of welcome. The relatives 1 did not blniiie, for they were anxiously looking for their own boys, but my goodness! when you think of what our boys in the Twenty-eighth Division did "over there," how is it possible for a whole thousand nnd more to return in the midst of utter silence? " One of them got quite sarcastic ns he passed along nnd remarked. "Don't look so gloomy. We really are glad to- get home If you're not glad to have ns." f wps nshnmed, but what noise could r make all b.v myself? I began to clap and succeeded in rousing one faint cheer, but that wns nil. and jet we hear the city was wild with joy. For goodness snke, let us yell our lungs out next Thursday when these fine lads parade and let them know that we are mighty glad to hnve them home again. rplIE Philadelphia Home for lufants. out - in Westminster avenue, is to be the beneficiary of the welfare dances at the ItollcvucStrntford next week, and all the women on the board are naturally inter ested in the dances and arc making up parties to go down to in the evenings.

SENATORS WILL PASS ON BID FOR COLLEGE Pharmacy Institution, Seeking State Appropriation of $30,000 Inspected by Committee Four members of the state Senate appro priations committee returned to Hnrrisburg today after ifaving visited the College of Pharmacy and made a thorough inspection of the institution. The members present were Senators Frank E. Baldwin, Potter county: H. W. Schauta. Lehigh county, and S. S.Leily. Perry country. For the first time in its career of nearly 100'cars, the college has u'ked the state for an appropriation. It lias requested the Legis lature to grant it S.'.O.OOO to cover" expenses for two years. Additional financial out lays because of the war have necessitated the request. The college has taken con spicuous part in war work, it has been the center of important bacteriological work, and has given practical elementary courses in tlils and other branches of pharmaceutical work to nearly 200 " naval hospital men. There ari now thirty naval hospital men in the institution tnking various courses. Last February 1(12 naval men were gradu ated from the college. A large number of former students en listed when the war started, aud the iu ercascdcost of drugs for experimental work has influenced additional "expenses which the college has been forced to meet in the face of a depleted treasury. The Visiting Senators expressed unusual interest in the work of the college, nud were particularly impressed with the bacterio logical course, which is pnrt of the pharma ceutical education given the students. This work has become highly important, in view of the increased use of serums in the medical world. The Philadelphia College of Phar macy is the only institution of its kind in the country that is equiped to give such a course. The college is equipped to accommodate about 000 students, but only about 200 are now enrolled.

In my speech I staled that Companies L and M. of the lOUth In fantry, nud Companies 1! nud C. of the llflth Infantry, were the first Imitation of the Twenty-eighth Division to K" to the fiont-line trenches a a unit, known its the sacrifice battalion. After my speech a sergeant from Company II, lit Hi Infantry (being one of the ntiilicucet asked permis sion to say li few wolds. In his statement he told the nudience Hint 1 was very much mistaken in saying thut my battalion was the first to go to the front, lint that u platoon from Company II was the first into action. This statement of his is en tirely wrong, for there were plenty of lieu tenants there, telling this sergeant that he was wrong.

Owing to the large attendance I didn t want to cause any disturbance, so thought it best to do it this way. VJtlVATE HL'NltY SIMONS. Company M, lOOtli Infantry, Twenty-eighth Division.

Who Said "Architecture Is Frozen Music?" To Ihr Kditor of the llrrning I'uhlw LcJgriy Sir Caught you napping twice. Au "ashlar." says Webster's International, is n "squnre or hewn" stone, not a "square hewn stone." You know in Freemasonry the ashlar is employed ns a philosophic sym bol, and a rough, jagged stone, only ap proximately squared, is known ns n "rough nshlnr," whilo n stone finished on all six sides is known ns n "perfect nshlnr." Secondly., T do not know Schelllng nor his 'Thllosophy of Art." and I am not sure to whom you refer unless it be F, W. .1, von Schelling, But he was horn in 177fi and died in 1851, so thnt any serious writing he did was probably clone nftrr the French.

One or more states men of the present day might do well to hearken to the advice of Walt Whitman, ac cording to tho opinion expressed yesterday by Dr. Samuel McChnrd Crothcrs. the Cam bridge essiryjst. Speaking at a celebration of the centenary of the birth of the "all Amer ican poet," ns whitman wns characterized. "America to him." said Doctor Crothcrs, "was the great spiritual revelation of a new order. No Hebrew psalmist ever spoke of Jerusalem iu more reverent terms than he did of this country. To Whitman America was the pioneer of a grcn new development. He felt that it had 11 mission not to be defiled by diplomats nud politicians." Louis Interinejcr. Pro.-.

Amelitn (inlli-Curci ngnln demon strated her ability to fill to the limit of its capacity Philadelphia's biggest auditorium, for the Metropolitan wns crowded to the dooi last night nnd 11 couple of hundred persons were seated on the stage to lienr her second rreitnl of the season. In her work, as a whole, she strengthened the opinion which was formed after her pre vious recital appearance here. There was the same smoothness of tone, the same fin ished vocalization and ninazing technique, notably in the more florid compositions. It must lie ndmitted thnt nt times her voice seemed tired, especinllv near the cloe of the prngrnm. but this is not tcf be wondered nt,. after the exactions of (lie long program, filled as It wns with difficult numbers, nnd sung nt the end of 11 long nnd severe season of concert nnd operatic appearances. Mndnm (inlli Ciirc-i nlo ngniti showed the good color of her oic throughout the entire register, and the only thing to be desired was perhaps n little more power in certain ot the cli maxes. Her I rill wns excellent, ns wns. in fact, every element of her vocalization. She opened the prngrnm with two old songs, one French. "IAmour de moi," nnd the other Kiiglish, "Shepherd, Thy De- j niennor nry. She is decidedly not nt her best iu songs of this character, and it muy he 1 lint they were put on the program for thn purpose of "warming up." In 'lie aria which followed, "Ah noti cp'dcn" from Melliiii's "Snnnnmbuln." Madnin Oulli Curci did some of her best work of the evening, nnd the freshness of her voice unci the purity of her tone were shown to the greatest ud vnntnge. Her reception b.v the nudience was cordinl, but not ns enthusiastic- as (lie sing ing deserved. This wns followed by Menediet's "l.o. Hear, the (ieutle Lark." sung with 11 flute obbligato admirably played by Manuel Ileren guer. This, being hugely in thirds, sixths and imitated passages with the flute, wns re ceived with 11 n outburst- of applause, which the fine work of both artists deserved, their ensemble being unusually accurate aud well balanced. It was encored, and the first part closed with four songs b.x Scott, Stiitzmanu, Liszt and a delightful P.olero by Delibes. The second part opened with two short numbers for the flute, played with good tone -j and siifticient technique by Mr. Merengucr. lie was warmly applauded, but refused to re spond, except by bowing his acknowledg ments. Madam (Salli-Curci then sang n group of three songs, two by her accompanist, Homer Samuels, and the third by Muzzi Peccin. In the encore which followed she played her own accompaniment with con siderable pinnistic skill. This again "brought down the house." and she wns obliged to sing ngain. Mr. Samuels insisting this time. After u few moments' rest, made neces sary b.v her hurd work nnd the difficult tiiini-fiet- to come. Madam liulli-Ciirci closed the recital with a brilliant performance of the famous coloratura aria commonly known as the "Mad Scene from Lucia," also sung with ilutc nblignto. The difficult nriu was finely given by both singer and flutist, who were nt nil times iu perfect accord as regards tempo and tone balance, ns well ns whut feeling it is possible to put into u piece of music- designed for the express purpose of exhibiting a voice.
