Home. But No ChfIdren.

There are no children at the Home for the Friendless recently established in Tyler City. There is no immediate prospect of any being received. The Catholic clergy do not wish any Catholic children sent there, and have transferred all Catholic children al the almshouse to the St. Francis Orphan Asylum. The town will be taxed from $1.5C to $2 per week for every child sent there from this town, so the town authorities are opposed to having any children go there. So perhaps the home may not afford shelter to any friendIsss children.
