ANNUAL REPORT

ANNUAL REPORT.
We mark with white stone tnc days on
which We meet our friends each year, to re-
port the good which has been done through
their generosity to the little ones so much in
need OF it.
The - Home for Destitute Children " has
been III existence seven years, and during
that time 100 children have been received
within its walls, beside a number OF babies
provided with homes outside, through the
lnstrumentalityo of the managers-therc being,
as vet, no accommodations In the Institution
itself for those SO young. OF the 100, -
have been sent out To homes in families well
recommended, and several Others have left
| for variJus causes.
During the year, IS new members have
entered; several becoming oi age have lett
our care, and 10 have been provided with
homes. The number now there is 35
The amount of the Permanent Fund now
drawing interest Is S4l, 800. Oar income
from this source is not sufficient 10 meet the
yearly expenditures, but will 20 a long way
toward it. In fact we think ourselves war
ranted in emitting, for d while aG least, the
annual collection Of FUNDS from our friends
in this city, who have responded So molly t.
the often repeated calls We have made upon
! their Observation-Disclosures twice within a wear
hoping that they will OF their own accord
send US, at our donaliJn visit, or when most
convenient during the season, enough 10 make
up the deficiency.
| a very lew alterations and repairs have
been made in the battling TINS summer, but
only those imperaJyeIy necessary for the
comfort OF the inmates. The removal OF a

parrmcuts OF ma.rJn, teachers and others ul
the h0useLUlj }. but now with an tthcIeut Statf
throughout, we trust all " III remain through

The health of the children is good, though

was quite constantly required
The bill for supplies Is ) 800 GO, large
total, but showing strict economy in each

The sum spent Tor clothing is $ll2.C0
which has been les5ened by kind contributions
from individuals and societies
We have many kind friends to thank tor
all the different ways in whlca they have con

OF the children, but our words will be con
sidered by them OF small account, for the
eloquent looks ami hearty tones of children
whose first years have been spent with thost
who have only given tuem harsh words anC
blows, will pat our thanks very low IN tht
scale
We are sure all our kind friends echo ouI

fifty more. The church was constructed
with an upper audience room. and it is sup
posed that the weight of those assembled
sprung the truss bearers and supports. and
slipping out of their place caused the terri
BILE catastrophe. This is evident from the
fact that the tinbers were not broken. The
gas pipe, two inches in diameter. which was
beneath the centre girth. was bent double by
the immense weight. When the crash came
there went up heartrending wall of man
gled humanity, children wildly shrieked for
their parents and the groans of the wounded
and dying filed the air.
To add to the horror the oil lamps of the
edfce ignited and bid fair to destroy all ID

worked with will and used every possible
effort to rescue the living. The church was
now on fire, but providentially the flames
could be reached and speedily extinguished
Before the floor sank many Of those within
were able to reach windows, and leaped to
the ground, a distance of fifteen feet. At IL
o clock the dead bodies were removed.
From Little Cottonwood, near Central
City, Utah, we have tale of destruction
by snowslide which occurred tho 26th OF
December; from six to eight feet of snow
having fallen the two days previous. About
half past two o'clock in the afternoon all
avalanche 600 feet wide and II feet deep
came down, crossing the stage road, carrying
away from eight to ten teams and teamsters
and taking them 1900 feet across Cotton
wood creek. Three of the transfers have
been shoveled out alive, but badly bruised.
Eight more known to be buried were not
rescued, and it is thought impossible to find
them before spring, although from one to
two hundred men are at work shoveling
All the teams in the line of the avalanche
we're swept away. There have been no de-
laws on the Pacific road as vet

them all closed her career in Greenu county,
KY, a few days ago. Her name was Mrs.
Mary Gray, and at the time OF her death she
was | Is years s months and 10 days old.
She came of long-lived race, her mother
having reached the age of 100, but her
husband, who was born only four years be-
lore her, in 1855, dropped off something over
half a century ago, at the untimely age of
GA. She was the mother of Ii children, all
but four of whom she followed to the grave,
the survivors-two sons and two daughters
being So, S3, 73 and 20 years of age. Mrs.
Gray lived to sec the fifth generation number

descendants being as follows: Chill iren. l3
grandchildren, 65 !; great-grandchlldren 6l7
great at-grandchildren 337; great-great-
great grandchildren, "A; total, 1916. With
such a record to fall back upoa, Greenup
county, Ky, may safely challenge the world
ON the subject OF old ladies'.

THE ROSSITER COLLECTION.

b Wehave as yet made scarcely reference to the
antique furniture and bronzes which form SO inter
estiDg an adjunct to the pictures belonging to the
late M. R0ssiter. 1t would be unfair in the public
to take for granted that the furniture is merely
dainty, diletdntte assortment, fitted to catch the
eye OF those fashionable ladies who equally dote on
young lovers and old china. NJ Rossiter was an
antiquarian and a c0nnoisseur, or he would not
have given so much time and taste to interests OF
this kind. There is delightful flavor Of antiquity
about the tables, chairs altarpeces and Bullets on
which one comes at every corner in the present
gathering at the Clinton Hall Salesroom. Here we
encounter a mirror In circular frame, garnished
with cornucopie and surmounted with an eagle
carved In OAK, and there we run against half q

that Virginia has taken the lead in educa-

The Liquor Question.
WAYNEsBoRo', Feb. 18th


Editor Tndicator Let NE suggest an
idea With regard to this subject The Leg
islature shouli rise the license for selling
liquor to 81 600 per annum, and also pass
a law making it smlsdameauor, punishable
by fine or imprisonment for any person to
buy liquor at an unlicensed store The
effect of the latter law would be this So
few persons woul Incur the risk of beng
fined or imprisoned. that it would not pay
ny man to try to IL liquor without a
license, of course if any SHOULD attempt it he
should also be punished If such laws were
passed, these results I think would follow
1st. There would probably be one licensed
liquor store for every 5000 Inhabitants
The State would thus derive an income OF
400 600 dollars from this source, t cent
Of which the mau who goes without liquor
would be called on to pay. 2nd. It would
transfer the liquor business from the thou
sand vile doggeries to few establishments
which being owned by men Of wealth aod in
huence would be more decently managed
and could be more easily controlled by the
proper authorities.
