GIRLS MDUsrRIAL soHooL.
The Facts in Reference to it's Man
agement and Needs.


We were surprised to see a savage
attack on the Industrial School for
Girls in last weeks Lincoln Republi-
can. Friend Walton evidently does
not understand the situation, or he
would look at the matter in a differ
ent light,
The state organization of the Won
ans Christian Temperance Union,
over a year since, concluded that
there was a demand, constantly grow
ing, for refuge for homeless girls,
to correspond, in degree, with the
state reform school for boys. The
matter had been agitated for years in
the Legislature, but no favorable &C
ton had been taken. In view of this
necessity, they decided to open such
an institution, and selected Beloit as
the point at which to make the be-
ginning. Our citizens, always ready
to respond to the calls Of the needy,
agreed to furnish house, rent free,
9Or one year, The ladies, through a
committee, solicited aid throughout
the state, and nearly every local IN
ion responded. A house was rented
and furnished, and Miss Marshal, of
Iowa, who had had large experience
In such undertakings, was placed In
charge, with Miss Wheeler, another
lady familiar with the work, as her
assistant: In a few months their
rooms were full, and the demands for
further admittance were constantly
being fled. The girls came from all
over the state, and were admitted on
the application, and by the recon-
.1endation, Of local unions and re-
sponsible parties.
As new quarters were demanded,
our people made further efforts, and
secured a still larger house for them
the H. T. Walker residence, one of
the finest in the city. The number
has increased, until now about twenty
five girls are in the school, and their
present quarters WILSON be crowded.
The truth of the matter is that the
institution has become an elephant
on the hands of the w. @. T. U. They
find themselves unable to meet the
demands upon them, and wish the state
to take the load. They will not, as
we understand it, ask the state for
assistance" after the manner Of the
institutions at Leavenworth and
other towns, but will ask the legisla-
ture to establish a stare institution
for the care of hayward and uncared
for girls, They have demonstrated
thoroughly the need for such an IN
dertaldng, have footed thebills for
year, and will now ask that it be
made a public charge, under the di-
rection Of the State Board Of Charities.
If MIR. Walton, or any of the other
cavilers throughout the stabe, could
have attended the entertainment Civ
en by these ladies and their rescued
children under their charge, In the
Opera House a few nights since, they
would readily recognise the great
good which is being accomplished by

How James Given Suffered to Save
Others Lives.

New ORLEANS, Dec. Stories of
many acts of heroism- on the part Of
the crew of the steamer, John b.
Hama, which was burned near PA
quemine yesterday. are being told to
day by survivors who were brought
here. One story makes James Given
the hero Of the occasion. Given was
one of the crew When the steamer
touched. the bank and bounded away
and Pilot Jolls left the wheel and
sprang overheard, Given quickly real
lied that the salvation of all on board
depended on the Hanna being
brought back to the bank. At this
time the pilot house was surrounded
by flames Nothing daunted, the
brave fellow sprang to the wheel.
brought the steamers head again to
the bank and in order. to keep her
there locked the wheel in the proper
position. While he was doing this
the fire swept over the pilot house
and he was imprisoned by the flames
which had already severely burned
him. It was high time to think Of
his own life, now that he had renl
ed possible the saving Of scores of
others. To escape It was necessary to
rush through the wall Of fire sur
rounding him. Given made a rush
for the side of the steamer, and al
though frightfully burned succeeded
IN reaching it. Although a moving
mass of fire he did not lose his pres
ence Of mind, but jumped into the
river and struggled to. the bank,
where he was pulled out badly burn
ed and exhausted from his efforts.
Given now lies at the hospital in this
city, with his eyes burned out and
with several other severe injuries, be-
heved to be fatal. No man ever per
formed a more heroic act than that of
Given and it is a matter of universal
regret that his humanity should have
cost him so dear.
