A Scheme Whereby They Are Furnished
Homes and Fathers and Mothers"
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The State De-
partment will shortly publish q report
from United States Consul Thomas A.
Shearman, at Liverpool, giving a descrip-
tion of the cottage homes recently opened
for pauper children at Fazakerley. Consul
Shearman visited the settlement, and was
impressed with its completeness and inn
portance. The cottage homes are located
in West Derby, Union, consistingof of twenty
two townships mot including LIVERPOOL,
with population of 100000, and property
valuation of $3.50. 600, 600. The ratable value
of the Union for this year is fixed
by the guardians at s10.O00.O00. and on
this sum per cent. is levied,
support Of the poor. The wOrk-house
is located at Walton-on-the-H Hill. has &C
commodations for 5000 paupers, and is said
to be the finest and best conducted estab-
lishment of the kind in the kingdom. The
children's cottages are located several
miles from the w0rk-house. and consist of
eighteen cottages; suDerintendents resi-
dence. porter's lodge, a probationary house,
an infirmary. a school-house. swimming
bath. a PUBLIC hall, storehouse and a
buildings Of brick and stone.
The cottages are divided INTO boys and
girls homes, each one accommodating
thirty children. The girls families are
presided over by mothers" all widows,
who receive an annual salary OF 500 and
rations. If she have children, they form
part of the family. AL the work is
done by the children and the mother. ~
The inmates have no badge or uniform, but
are neatly clad in dresses such as the chill
dren of respectable working people wear.
Every arrangement is made for the health.
comfort and entertainment of the children.
and they are happy in their cozy homes. A
man and wife manage each family of boys
whose homes are similar to those of the
girls The man must have q trade and be
able to impart knowledge of it to the
boys, who are in this way taught some use
full occupation. The combined salaries OF
the father and mother of the boys
home is S225 and ratlons. Before child ID
assigned to a family he is detained in the
probationary house fourteen days, or until
it is found that he is tit to associate with
the other children. There are now 800 chill
dren in the homes, ranging from eighteen
months to fourteen years of age. The full
complement of GOO will soon be admitted
andiprOvisi0n made for enlarging the estab
ishment.
Consul Shearman says the institution de.
scribed is believed to be the only one OF
the kind in existence. at least on a scale sc
liberal and comprehensive. The scheme
thus far admirably executed. The founda

CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-Deputy Sheriff Ken
nedy, of this city, made an arrest in st. Jo-
seph, Mich, last night. which is believed
to have an important bearing in the Cronin
case. The man arrested is Martin Duane,
and it is believed that he is the man who
drove Cronin to his death on the night of
May 4. Mr. Hynes was seen at the Palmer
House. last evening, and acknowledged
that Duane had been arrested. II consider
il an important arrest said Mr. Hynes,

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-senator Mitchell.
of Oregon, who is one of the Oldest and
ablest lawyers in the upper branch of Con-
gress says there should be financial policy
established by the administration on the
basis of gold and silver. and that the silver
question is increasing in importance
throughout the country every year. In
der the present silver coinage, the Senator
says, the mints and the Treasury speculate
unjustly on the producers of silver. He
thinks foreign lead mixed with silver
ought to pay duty. as the mines of this
country need more protection than any OF
the other interests. He favors subsidies
for steamship lines to especially maintain
commercial relations with neighboring ma
tions. Senator Mitchell does not take the
gloomy view of the outlook for Congress
that many of the Republicans do. He
thinks that there Will be much important

Come Listen 10 the story of brave Lathrop and
How they fought. how they died,
When they marched against the redskins in
the autumn days, and then
How they fell, in their pride,
By Pocumtuck side.
''who viii go to DeeTfed meadows and bring
Said old Mosely to his men in array.
''Take the wagon and the horses and bring it
back again,
But be sure that no man stray,
All the day, on the way"
Then the flower of Essex started, with Lathrop
Wise and brave, bold and true.
He had fought the Pequots long ago, and now
to Mosely said:
"Be there many, be there few,
will bring the grain to you"
They gathered all the harvest. and they
marched on the way
Through the woods which blazed like
fire.
No soldier left the line of march to wander Or
Till the wagons were stalled in the mire,
And the men began to tire.
The wagons have all forded the brook as it
And then the rear guard strays
To pick the purple grapes that are hanging from
the boughs.

Brave Lothrop he lay dying, but as he fell he
cried,
Zach man to his tree" said he,
''Let no one yield an inch?' and SO the soldier
died;
And not man of all can see
Where the foe can be.
And Philip and his devils pour in their shot so
fast
From behind an before,
That every man is shot down and breathes his
last;
Every man lies dead in his gore,
To fight no,more, no more
Oh weep, ye maids of Essex, for the lads who
have died,
The flower of Essex they!
The Bloody brook still ripples by the black
mountain side.
But never shall they come to see the ocean
side.
And never shall the bridegroom return to his
bride,

Lemen Growing-profits Ahead.

For two principal reasons, lemon grow.
ing has not in the past held the position
it will hold in the future of this valley.
First, our citrus men did not know how
to handle the lemon after it was picked
and 30 failed to prepare it scientifically
for market; the finer acid qualities were
not developed, the fruit was frequently
lacking in juice and it would not keep.
This led to the second reason: Not be-
ing able to treat and dispose of the crop
in perfectly satisfactory manner, the
lemon received less careful culture than
the orange. While the orange grove
was literally fertilized the lemon grove
was left to draw what nourishment it
could from the natural soil, and, there
fore, failed to produce the large crops it
otherwise would, - and hence = and
hence.
A year or two since, G. w. Garcelon
sent few boxes of lemons to San Fran
cisco, and on their arrival was informed
that if he would allow the dealer to give
them foreign brand he would receive
$40 box, otherwise he would receive
but $3-the regular price of the Amer
ican lemon. Some time previous tolthis,
Mr.. Garcelon sent ten boxes to Denver
oho iONOlNOO P1OO-PLO DOs DOA--iOI Cllo
fruit. The secret, in both cases, lay in his
method of handling. This year, Mr.
Garcelon is treating not only his own
crop, but a large quantity purchased
from others. We have been shown some
of the fruit and would say that it deserves
most unqualified praise. Skin smooth,
thin, elastic, firm, pores hermetically
sealed; contents exceptionally juicy and
of very strong yet very smooth acid.
These lemons have been picked four
months and looked good, with equally
good handling, for double that number
more, and they were taken at random
from from four carloads in stock.
The trees come into full bearing sooner
than the orange, are hardy, and when
properly cared for bear a bountiful crop.
The lemon is necessity instead of a
luxury, high grade of the fruit will un-
failins ly command a high price, and Mr..
Garcelon's method will, we are con-
vinced, develop all the good of which
any lemon is capable. We predict that
the fame of Riverside lemons will yet
rival that of the Riverside orange

The Coroner held an inquest yesterday
morning on the body of John Knauff,
the unfortunate baker who was killed at
University station yesterday afternoon.
The station agent testified that he heard
the train approach, with the bell ringing.
He saw Knauff driving toward the track,
and at first supposed that he was intend
ing to drive up alongside. When he saw
the wagon continue right along, he
yelled out to the driver, but it was tco
lato. The engine gave whistle of warn
ing, and just as it did so struck the
wagon. A. E. Veeder, painter, VINO
witnessed the affair, told the same ste y
and Albert Lindley, coal merchant
who happened to be standing in the sta.

ated it. H. F. Haman, the engineer
testified that the train vas running

He had not been able to see the wagon
until he was almost upon it, by reason o.

Justices and Constab,es.

The press of Los Angeles still dwells
upon the "outrages" OF the Justices and
Constables of the outlying districts of the
