THE nRFxrI. HOME

Mary J. Drcxel Home and Mother
House Of Deaconesses, a magnificent
structure erected on the grounds of the
German hospital, presented by John d.
Lankenau as a memorial to his wife, the
daughter of the late Francis M. Drexel.
Is now ready for occupants.
The institution had its origin from the
fact that some Of the aged inmates Of the
German hospital when discharged, hav-
ing no homes to 60 to, and hav-
ing become accustomed to look on the
hospital as home. begged that they
might be permitted to remain. For some
years a number Of Lutheran deaconesses
including their superior, all from Ger
many, were in attendance upon the sick
in the hospital. They were SO efficient
that the trustees sent to Germany FOR
more. They were unsuccessful in secur-
ing the sisters, inasmuch as they were
being sent 70 Egypt, Asia Minor and the
Holy Land, where mother houses had
been established for years. The trustees
determined TO establish a amother house Of
their own. Dir. Lankenau then built the
editice and presented it 70 the trustees.
A mother house being necessarily q re-
Lgious institution, tho east wing is given
to the sisters and the west wing to the
aged.
The new building was began in Sep
tcmber, 1886, and the corner stone laid
in November, 1887. The structure fronts
25O feet on Girard avenue. Between the
two wings is an open court 100 by nc
feet. The main entrance is in the center
of the Girard avenue front. The ma
terial used is brick and stone Of a light
tint. The wings are three stories high
and each wing contains sixty rooms.

the "Black Napoleon" not long ago
seized a United States vessel, the Hay
tian Republic, on the plea that she was
blockade runner. This led to orders from
the United States navy department for
Admiral Luce to proceed to Hayti and
retake the seized vessel, but whether the
orders will be carried out depends upon
future developments in the case. The
United States corvette GalenR was at
once prepared to sail.
The Galena Is in first rate order, and
made her preparations at the BROOKLYN
navy yard, New York. The Galena car
ries pennant In the shape Of a small
white flag with red ball in the center.
1t is the gunnery pennant, carried by
the ship which has shown the best
craftsmanship in great gun battery
practice in the North Atlantic squadron.
The crew Of the corvette have won the
trophy four times out Of five. Another
notable feature of the Galena Is a won
derful goat which always cruises with
the ship. Whenever the marines or the
sailors go ashore Billy goes with them.
In case a landing should be made at
Port-au-Prince the goat will doubtless
enter the city with his comrades.
II is expected that other war ships will
follow the Galena-the Richmond and
the Yantic. Others may go Later on.
The Haytians are now in the midst Of
revolution, and it is essential that Amer
lean interests should be looked after.
The fleet that is expected to 20 TO Hayti
is considered sufficient to cope with the
Haytian navy. If the intention Is car
ried out and the Haytian Republic recov-
cred, it is supposed that this will cause
the overthrow of Gen. Legitime.

and superseding the senate, which should
be abolished. From this remaining body
Of presidential advisers, who should hold
office during life or good behavior, let
future presidents be chosen also by lot,
each successful state being excluded
from other drawings until all have been
represented.
Wo would have no vice president to
preside over q defunct senate; we would
lead no man into temptation nor subject
him to suspicious Of foul practices for
the purpose OF promotion. We would
have no interregnum, for at the death Of
a president his place would be immedi-
ately supplied by lot. We would thus
place our future presidents in q high
school Of governmental science, SO that
when they came into Office they would
know something Of their duties and be
aided by q body of able counselors rep
resenting not simply one or two, but
every section Of this great Union.
No one mans shoulders are Atlanteafr
enough to bear the weight of govern
ment In q country 30 extensive and with
such diversified interests as ours. He
must have the assistance and approval of
able advisers. Let the people of the
states choose them, so that each individ-
ual state may be supported by column
of its own strength, erected by its own
hands and from timber of its own growth.
With such a body, superior to the
house Of lords, because elective, we
would have government conducted bv
the states, impartial, just and beyond
the reach of sectional prejudice-1n aris-
tocratic democracy which, in the estima-
ton Of the writer, would indeed be ''the
best government in the world"

Directly west of the now populous
state of Minnesota, with its two great
cities, St. Paul and Minneapolis, lies the
immense territory of Dakota. For many
years Dakota was an unknown wilder
ness, principally remarkable for breed
ing billiards, which would swoop down
on the rest of the United States, stopping
railroad trains, breaking down telegraph
wires and generally interrupting com
munications. But the time has passed
when any territory In the United States
south of the Canada line can remain un-
opened The Iron horse" pushed for
ward into Dakota; towns sprang up
along the lines of her railroads; her vast
fields were soon yellow with the waving
grain. Today 60O,000 people live within
her limits, and she produces more wheat
than any state in the Union.

Glance at this map showing q number
of states whose area could be laid out on
Dakota. Indiana, whose area is marked
out in the upper left hand corner, Is no
mall territory in itself. Maine and
South Carolina, also marked out on
the map, are both large states. The
others laid down are smaller, including
little Rhode Island and Delaware, but it
is evident from the example that there is
territory enough in Dakota TO carve out
four states of an average area. Indeed,
1t will be seen from map No. 2 that the
area Of Ohio takes up just one-fourth of
Dakota's area.
The territory is at present nearly di-
vided into two parts by reason Of its rail
roads. North and south Dakota are
reached by two different routes-the one
by the Northwestern railway system,
the other by the Northern Pacific and

A BRIGHT JOURNALISTIC.
nzazaie l. Hstehett and Her Novel Pofiti-
cal IdeaM.


Miss Mamie L. Hatchett, of Hender-
son, n. c., has conceived OF a plan to
avoid the turmoil and excitement Of the
periodic election Of president Of the
United States. Miss Hatchett believes
In the wisdom Of the trainers Of the
United States government in placing the
machinery FOR selecting the president In
the hands Of the state, rather than de
Gliding the question by popular majority.
The lady thus states her plan:
Now, as a remedy for all these evils,
to take the affairs Of government out Of
the hands Of politicians, parties and sec
tionalists; to restore power where it
rightfully belongs-to the states and
their people; to prevent corrupt bar
gains with caucus nominees; to secure
to each state in its turn the privilege Of
furnishing an occupant for the presi-
Dental chair; to educate our future
presidents for the proper performance of
their duties, thus applying civil service
reform to the highest as well as to the
subordinate offices; to abolish general
elections for president and to establish a
more Just and perfect Union, the follow
ing plan is suggested:
Let each state choose one of its own
citizens, that one esteemed by the ma
jority Of Its people the best and most
capable. Let all the men 80 elected meet

Manitoba systems. The main stems of
railroad in the territory, with their
branches, now aggregate over 4,500
miles, and one of the most pleasing feat
ures Of Dakota statistics Is that they
have 5000 public schools, or nearly a
school TO every mile of railroad. The
state has produced $4,000, 900 bushels of
wheat and 30,000000 bushels of corn.
Her banks have $4,000, 900 Of capital
and her newspapers "a sure sign that the
country is being settled by people Of in
telligence) number 352.
One feature helpful to the development
of the territory is the arteries Of travel
running through it. Besides two sys-
TENS of railroads running clear across
north Dakota the Missouri river runs
through the territory diagonally. Indeed
there are 200 miles of navigable rivers.
When these avenues by which to get her
products to market it is not to be won

The mineral resources Of the territory
are in keeping with the agricultural.
There are large coal fields, and along the
Northern Pacific railroad a number Of
mines have been opened. This is re-
quisite for getting out large quantities,
but the farmers in many places arc for
tunate enough to find all tho coal they
need in the outcroppings Of the veins
Then there is gold in abundance. At the
Black Hills are the famous gold mines
with the largest gold stamp mills in the
world. Water is plentifully supplied by
artesian wells, and comes with such
force as to be used in some places to run
machinery. An interesting feature Of
Dakota is region known as the great
bone yard of the continent, from which
scientists have extracted the fossil re-
mains of more than fifty animals belong
ing to species now extinct.
In north Dakota two towns-they will
doubtless soon be cities-aro quarreling
for the capital, Grand Forks and Fargo
A Fargo paper keeps in its columns a
standing list Of the towns claims to be
the capital. Among the items mentioned
are 5000 people, electric lighting, safety
deposit vaults, a literary club, kinder
garten school and an opera house. The
mention of the kindergarten school illus
trates the degree to which rivalry in
western towns may attain, but the opera
house smacks of a refinement only to be
found in the cities Of the eastern coast.

One Of the longest inter-town fights
ever known in Maine was that over the
construction Of the bridge across the So
basticook river, at Peltoma Point, be-
tween the towns Of Pittsheld and De-
troit. The movement for the building
Of the bridge began in 184S. The former
town wanted it, the latter town opposed
1t. The fight went on, year after year.
Every board Of county commissioners
was drawn into it. Not until 1888, when
the bridge was built, was the war ended.
