Pioneer Press: The Boston Herald
implores the the friends Of Parnell TO
lei up a little On poor Sir Richard
Webster, and declares ''tbere is no
particular advantage to be derived from
kicking dead lon.' Since when has
Richard Webster arrived at the allie
eorical dignity Of lion, dead or alive?
Journal: A. bill TO abolish the police
commission was introduced in the house
Saturday by Mr. Smith, of Hennepin.
It would be a great joke on the Repnb-
licans of Minneapolis, and an expensive
one no doubt, if that bill should pass.
The probabilities are, however, that
what will be done will be the reduction
OF the commission to two mem bers
without salary to act with the mayor.
There would be no inconsistency in that.
Globe: William .. Bradley, OF Ken
lucky, has made record for himself by
declining an office. He was appointed
to the Corean mission, which he refuses
to accept, and thus gains the distinction
of being the only Republican Office
seeker who wouldn' t have an office when
1t came around to him. And yet, under
all the circumstances, 1t is not strange
that he backed out in this instance.
Corea is the worlds jumping-of place,
aud an appointment to that mission
was a severe letting down to man
who was an active candidate for the
vice presidency, and Was afterwards on
a hot hunt for place in the Harrison
cabinet. The next time Bradley be-
comes a candidate for Office he will
probably move over into Indiana.

new period of state forming activity.
Spain had ceded Florida to the United
States under the treaty of February p,
1919, and twenty years afterward. in
1888, It's people sought admission as a
state. But a contest arose over the pro.
Dosal to divide the territory, for she pur
pose of ultimate admission, into East
and West Florida. The wariness which
had for many years existed regarding
the admission Of great preponderance
of either Northern OF Southern states
prolonged this dispute and meanwhile
the great Northwest had begun 10 grow
rapidly The consequence was double
admission, the frstin the hisotry OF the
country-though now outdone by the
recent quadruple admissloDs--the ter
ritories protiting by 1t being Iowa and
Florida. There was something very
significant in the extreme south Of
the then populated regions being
brought in together as if to offset each
other. 1t happened, however, That the
admission of Iowa was not consnnl-
mated till 1916; and meanwhile Texas
came in ahead of her. The act Of March
3, 1916, followed the usual formula, ex-
cept for including two states instead Of
oAe.
''That the states Of Iowa and
Florida be and the same are hereby de.
clared to he states of the United States
Of America, and are hereby admitted
into the Union GA an equal footing with
the original states in all respects what
ever.''

fornia followed in 1850. Another inter.
val Of eight years then occurred without
the addition of a state, succeeded by a
period OF nine years, during which no
fewer than six states were admitted.
These were Minnesota, inl858; Oregon,
in 1859; Kansas, in 1851; Nevada, in

AIDING THE NEwSBOYS.
Opening of the New Reading Rooms at
the Comfortable Club House.

The new reading rooms provided by the
ladies of the Newsboys and Children's Aid
society for the comfort and convenience of
their charges were opened last night. The
quarters are in the old Metzerott house, 517
18th street northwest standing some distance
back from the street. Last night its usually
gloomy windows we're brightly lighted, and
within was warmth, gaiety, and happiness.
The ladies of the society were warming the
old-new rooms in honor of the Inauguration,
receiving their many friends, and telling them
about their work and plans. The evening pro-
gram was somewhat informal Dr. Gaullaudet of
the Deaf Mute college, presided, and speeches
of a congratulatory tone were made by Rev.
Drs. Childs, Shipper, and Hamlin. and Prof.
Atwater. Mr.. c. w. johnson, chief clerk of the
Senate, gave the assembly the benefit of some
former experiences as a newsboy, and read an
original poem entitled, 1.-The Newsboys," to
the great delight of his hearers. Miss Isabel
Kent, accompanied by Mrs. Pearson, sung two
solos after the speeches, and then the
company began to talk among themselves about
charity, news, newsboys, waits. weather and
various other topics. Refreshments followed
later, and gave zestful close to the evenings
entertainment.
THE NEW ROOMS
are very centrally located, and will no doubt
attract large numbers of boys. The society has
employed an agent, who will be in charge of
the Club house" daily, and will probably find
all of his time occupied in providing for the
little fellows, furnishing them with amuse-
ments, listening to their complaints, and ex-
tending to them helping hand in many ways.
In connection with the reading rooms will be
an employment bureau for both boys and girls,
the success of which is almost assured by the
fact that over $50 boys and girls have already
been helped by the society to good places in
city business houses and on farms. There is
also an industrial class sustained by the society
at Howard university

The SufleHing Poor.

MANY FAMILIES IN NEED OF FOOD AND FUEL
WHAT THE POLICE SAY.
Owing to the open winter, there has not been
as much suffering among the poor people of
the District as during previous winters, and the
calls on the police for assistance have not been
so numerous as heretofore. There are some
needy persons in the District too proud to ask
for assistance, and when these can be found
they are helped. During this winter most of
the applications have been for money to pay
house rent. This is something unusual, as
heretofore nearly all applications were for food
and fuel. This Is the first time in many win
tiers that SO large a number of respectable per-
sons have applied for assistance to pay their
rent. Owing to the limited amount of means
at their disposal the police are unable to pro-
vide money for house rent, a month or two
OF severe weather would more than exhaust
the poor fund. In South Washington the po-
lice are overrun with applicants, both white
and colored. As in other sections of the city,
some OF the applicants call through force of
habit, simply because they have been furnished
food and fuel heretofore; but the officers are
more particular than heretofore in giving aims
and many applicants are consequently refused.
Lieut. Vernon says that there is great deal of
SUFFERING IN SOUTH WASHINGTON.
The donations by the pupils of the public
schools did considerable good and relieved
many families during the holidays. Lieut..
Vernon says that there are forty or fifty white
families in that section who are really in need
of food and fuel. and more than that number
of colored families. The records kept by the
officers show that there is a certain class of
persons who call every year. There are also
several cases of restitution and suffering in the
county. Saturday night resident of Hamil-
ton road, who is a carpenter, called on Police
man Mari and told him that his wife and chill
dren were starving. 1t was late in the even
ing and the officer did not go to the sufferers
house. but Sunday morning the policeman's
wife sent the family large basket of cooked
provisions. enough to keep them from starving
for a couple of DAYS. As already stated, the
head of the family is carpenter. He says
that since November he has not been able to
obtain work, which is the reason for his pres

The Murder of Nancy Mills.

THE VERDICT OF THE CoRoNER's JURY HOLDS
SAMUEL CROSS RESPONSIBLE FOR HER DEATH.
At the coroner's inquest yesterday over the
body of Nancy Mills, who was murdered near
Bailey's Cross Roads, Va, as stated in yester-
days STAR, the jury heard the testimony of
William Wade and Eliza Wade, which was to
the effect that they saw the murdered woman
in company with the accused On the evening of
her disappearance, and that when Cross re-
turned for his horse and wagon he had with
him bag. and his trousers were soiled at the
knees. The jury returned a verdict that the
said Nancy Mills came to her death on January
II. 1889, at the hands of Stephen Cross by an
instrument severing the jugular VEIN" 1t is
reported that Cross has confessed to his crime
