THE CHiLDREN's HUBE.
Twenty first Annual Report Of the
Board of Managers.

The twenty first annual report of the
Home for Ffiendless and Destitute
Children, States that u children were
admitted to the in titution during the
year, and one readmittsd IL had
intempsrate fathers aud IL were children
of poor widows ii were taken out Of tbs
hcme on trial aud returned, and 9
have bsen indentured. Tie whole
number received into the home gince its
establishment is 745.
The health of the children has been
good, only Ia children dying in the past
81 years, which very small ratio is at.
tributed to the special care taken OF the
children and of their surroundings.
An infant department of the school has
bsen established during the year, and
kindergarten instruction for the smaller
children is suggested, though it is too
expensive feature for the managers TO
add.
The domestic government of the house-
hold is administered by Mrs. Isaac
Crouch and daughters. and their efforts
are referred to in terms highly compli-
mentary. Seven babes have been re.
oeived in the infant department of the
school. 1t has been decided to enlarge
the home, 80 the infants may be provided
for in the same building with the larger
children, but the work of building the
extension has been delayed, as it was
thought best not at present to incur the
expense necessary. -.54
The best thought OF the day seems to
prefer family to institutional life for chill
dren, and in accordance with thess views
it has been concluded to board some of
the children at low rates in the country,
retaining only those who can be com
fortably cared for in tine home. The CON-
5idefation of this proposition now rests
: tli tue Cnildren'a Aid Society OF Phila-
lei phis, with whom the managers are in
;Jrtesl ondence, and if favorsbiy acted
1pon IT ia thought that all children
who have q just claim to become bene-
doinries Of the home, uan be received The
receipt Of 1000 bequeathed by Samuel
Harlan, deceased, is acknowledged.
Without these permanent resources the
management would be unable to carry on
its work, as the subscriptions have fallen
to 81 ,769 so from 81, 766 81, the amount
received the first year. Grateful appre-
citation is expressed for the mediesl care
which the children receive gratuituously
from Drs. Mckay, Negeudank and Rlle.

DRIVEN TO HER DEATH.


special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
from Bedford, Pa. Friday, says
Ella L. klaber, the 17-year old step-daughter
of well known, but not wealthy citizen of
Mann's Choice, attempted her life yesterday
under circumstances replete with romance.
Miss Klaber is a very pretty brunette, who
worked in mill in Lancaster, more out of
independence than from necessity. On
February 9Th she eloped with George Ristine,
who is in business in Wilmington. Del, but
who lived with his parents at 1925 North
Thirteenth street, Philadelphia. The pair
went to live i'll Wilmington, Ristine appar-
emily making a good deal of money as a
wringer and bed spring manufacturer
Both wrote home frequently, saying they
were happy enough, and all went well until,
carly in March, Ristine failed in business and
took his wife to live with his parents in Phila
delphia. They remained there about three
weeks, when Isistine deserted her.
The BRIDE went home with a broken heart,
She tried to conceal her grief from her
mother and her friends, but they saw too
plainly that the flight of the man she still
loved was more than she could bear. Yes
terday she wrote note to her mother, telling
how her disgrace and distress weighed on
her so much that life WAS a burden. She
gave directions for the disposal Of her per-
sonal effects and for her interment. Retiring
to her room she placed Il revolver to her
breast and fired. She had intended that the
bullet should cleave her heart, but it deyiated
and passed through the left lung, lodging in
her shoulder blade. She will probably die.

Why" he continued, 'these soldiers even get
their whisky and tobacco, and | think many
preachers would like .. place where they
could get such comforts"
A ripple of laughter ran through the con-
ference, "Well," said the bishop, who had
himself hard work to refrain from showing
his fine set Of teeth, 'you may laugh, but l
know great many of the brethren who Ike
their tobacco, and am afraid too many like
their whisky"
Conference this time fairly shook with
laughter. When silence WAS restored the
bishop continued his appeal in behalf of
faithful worn out laborers in the Lords vine
