The Herald of Charity.

The Associated Charities have published a
very neat paper called the Herald of Charity
in order that their work and its scope may be-
come more familiar to our citizens. 1t con-
tains the names of the visitors and the location
of the different districts Special attention is
called to the law passed last winter concerning
the care Of abused and neglected children.
Before this law was passed it was impossible to
take. children from drunken and brutal par
ents Children can now be taken from parents
unfit to rear them, and placed in homes where
they may have proper influences. Such chill
dren formerly had to be arrested upon COM
plant of vagabondage, and committed to the
poor house before anything could be done for
them. The overseers in such cases could bind
them out, and by this course homes in our
asylums or private families could be procured
for them, but this method was very trouble
some and affixed stigma upon the child, as 1t
was necessary to make it public pauper be-
fore relief could be afforded.
A case came before tho Marshal yesterday
that should have been brought at once by the
persons to whom the child applied. to the AS
ISOLATED Charities. Nellie A. Mcdonald, q
child about IL years of age, was brought to the
station on a complaint of systematic and I'M

THE GREENBACKERs.
Waiting for a Candidate.

The Greenback Club held its weekly meet
Ing last evening in the composing room" of
the Morning News, score or more being
present. Remarks were made by Messrs. Dill,
Springer and others upon the question of NOM
nations 1t seemed to be the sense of the
meeting that efforts should be made to corral
the ultra prohibition vote by the nomination of
some man for Mayor Of undoubted temperance
principles. 1t was deemed best, however, not
to announce nomination until some coDclu-
sion as to probable action of other parties had
been reached. In pursuance Of this policy,
committee of three, consisting Of R. M.
Springer, John S. Fitz and Peter Gordon, was
appointed, whose duty it shall be to watch,
and when in their opinion the time is most OPP
perfume for the purpose call upon the president
to announce special meeting of the club for
the nom ination of candidates. Upon the mat
ter of suitable room for future meetings, it was
voted that the place used last evening, with
the addition of rough board seats, would be
well enough, and small sum was contributed
by those present for this purpose. The meeting
then adjourned until Thursday night of next
week, unless sooner summoned by the commit
tee above mentioned.

The seventh annual report Of the managers
and other officers Of the Industrial School at

school and work rooms have generally been
most willingly and faithfully performed.
During the year two of the girls have died of
pulmonary consumption; but no other severe
sickness has prevailed at the school during the
year, with the exception of a number of cases
of scarlet fever, which were successfully treat
ed without fatal result.
The great requirement of the institution is
for new school building to relieve present
positive needs, and render more efficient and
widespread the benefcent work to be done.
At the last session of the Legislature re-
solve was reported for the appropriation of
$4,000 for the erection of new building, and
to be paid when like sum should be raised by
private donation. A benevolent lady OF South
China has already given $1,000, and offers OF
aid from others have been received.
During the past year seventeen girls have
been committed to the school, making the en-
tire number received since organization, 100.
