A Separate County Institution for
Orphans.


The subject of founding home for such
children as are now cared for at County
Poor Houses was yesterday discussed in
the Senate Senator GarriguS, of Howard, eX-
planned that he would favor the bill, for the
reason that separate home for orphan
children, without any legislative provision,
had been tried in Kokomo and proven
eminently successful. Judge Overman,
continued Senator Garrigus, after mature
Investigation, concluded TO use his influence
to have the orphan children of Upton

mo-" Senator Bell, of Allen, gave his
reasons for supporting the measure with
such spirit and feeling as to secure the

pressed Ireland. The Senator alluded TO
the cold and cruel charity of the average
Poor House. He characterized them as re-
ceptacles for the fostering refuse OF society.
He pictured the stigma and humiliation
that must always attach to a girl reared in
such place. He thought it criminal to
consign orphans to such cOrrupting in
fiuences. ''In my County," he said There
is demand for such an institution. \
venerable lady in the city OF Fort Wayne,
who is herself poor, solicits charity to sus-
tain no less than thirty little girls, to save
them from the immoral contamination
escaped by no young person thrown upon
the County. Before the meeting OF this
body she came to my house, through a
l..
love of God. to favor the passage of such an
enactment" To the bill proper lhere was
scarcely any opposition, but few of the
Senator'S objected to some of the details.
Judging by the spirit of the Senate the
proposition will no doubt become law.
