orphan Asylum.


We give below portion of an article
from the Leavenworth Times in refer
ence to the asylum of that place. This
is the institution for which our people
are providing a box at Mrs. Bucks.
The Times says:
The reporter, on his way to visit the
place, found Mrs. Hodgkinson, the mat
ron, riding toward the asylum, on Fifth
street, on an express wagon, having a
bundle of goods she had purchased
''down town." and caused her TO take q
place in Mr.. George Crilley's hack, in
which she was carried to her home.
On arriving at the house the lady ush-
cred the reporter in, introducing him to
Miss Rivard, who is the teacher of the
little folks of her family"
A nea1y-framed motto, on entering the
vestibule, bids you welcome" To the
right is the business Office, to the left the
parlor. Back of the parlor is the nur-
sery and back of the Office is the dining.
room, each all complete in appointments.
The matron, Mrs. Hodgkinson, is GER
tainly the right woman in the right
place. She is not q young lady, but a
gray-haired woman that great many
would fall in love with after short ac-
auaintance, because she is '.just like my
mother" and in after years some of her
children will ''rise up and call her bless
ed" while all of them will remember
the little mother of the asylum. She
seems to have the correct idea of how q
child shall be trained and what it shall
he taught.
She says her aim is to teach them self
reliance and industry and that to be vel
coined and loved in the homes where
they will be placed, they must earn
and deserve that welcome and love, by
being datiful end obliging, willing TO
help themselves and to help others, but
not as servants, es no child is permitted
| to go to any home where they are to be
made drudgcs Of and there Is no need,
for there are good homes. Enough poo
pie want child to be as their own, to
care for and love. If child that is
ignorant or vicious is brought to her,
she sees that it is taught and trained to
something better before it is permitted
to leave her. She has noble work in
hand and seems to understand il. The
children were visited in the dining room
| where they were in charge of their teach.
er, Miss Rivard and were all found rosy
checked and happy. Mrs. Hodgkinson,
after explaining the arrangement of the
house and severely criticising the archi
tect who planned il stated that her family
is comprised of children who will go in
to the world without any remembrance
of bad treatment. As we stated We be.
lieve she is the right woman in the
right place, as matron. She is not only
motherly in her care of the children but
she is a careful manager, and her critI-
cism of the architecture of the house
would indicate that she studies about
architecture as well as other matters
| that will tend To make fhe n Ome of n
child comfortable.

new seats are expected today or to-mor-

schools until after the holidays. There
win be two weeks of holidays. com

The clock aud bell matter is receiving
considerable attention. Some are want
ing 10 know whether a clock and bell or
only bell is TO be purchased. The
answer is, both bell and clock are 10
be placed upon the new school house?
Negotiations are being made for the pur-
chase of both. There are at least three
principal tower clock manufacturers in
the United States: Ansoria, of
Brooklyn, Seth Thomas of New
York City and Howard, of Bos
ton. In order to make an esti-
mate ofa clock by. a company it is nee
essary for them to know certain measure
ments and distances and it takes some
time to do this. It viii not be long be-
fore the public can know what the esti
mated cost of both clock and bell will be-
They will not cost far from $500. The
principal bell manufacturers are those of
Baltimore, Troy and Cincinnati. The
children have been faithfully working up
the fund and they are bound to succeed
and anybody who lives for four month
to come will see and hear one of the best
and most complete bells and clocks that
can be furnished. The children have
made general canvass of the city and
have been received favorahly by the
citizens. No subscription has exceeded
five dollars. The amount paid TO the
treasurer is about one hundred dollars.
There arc some funds in the hands of the
committees. The pupils are now pre-
pairing the beautiful cantata 'sSanta
Claus which they Will present to the
public at the holidays, and the children
expect that each and every citizen will
save enough money to buy at least one
ticket. The cantata is under the able
direction of our townsman, Charles
Holmes, whose past efforts in such mat
tiers are sure guarantee to success.
The board have ordered the tower on
the school building to be enlarged and
strengthened so as to be fully commodi-
Gus and strong TO support both clock
and bell. It is hoped the citizens gen
orally will interest themselves in this
matter, and help it on to a successful
completion.

stop. Thief,

One of the boldest cases of horse
stealing we have ever known was per-
petrated in this city last Saturday even
ing. Mr.. w. T. McCarty came down to
his Office about halfpast seven, and ty-
ing his horse to the telegraph pole near
THE News corner, went into his office,
where he remained perhaps five min
utes. On going out 10 get his horse he
found, TO his amazement, that the crea-
ture had taken legs and walked away.
His first impression was that the strap
had become united, and knowing that
the horse would go directly home il
turned loose, he went there, but no
horse was to be seen and Il then began
to dawn upon Macs mind that some
thing was wrong. a cOlOred boy claims
TO have seen man mount horse ans
