SOCIAL LIFE ron THE rooR.

The new University Settlement %societ,
just organized in New York for the
purpose of interesting c~ollege-bred mel
in an effort to improve the condition o.
the people in crowded city districts il
more than a passing fad. Such men at
Carl Schurz, Seth Low, DIR. Arthur
| Brooks, Oswald Ottendorfer, ex-Secre'
tary Fairchild, and a score of Others
equally prominent, do not lightly enlist
in an ill-considered and impractical en-
terprise. The society will establish
itself on the foundation laid for it by a
band of earnest women a few years age
and will invite not only college men, but
others to join it in promoting centers OF
social, literary, artistic and musical en-
tertainment in the most populous
neighborhoods Of the city. The society
will establish and maintain in the ten
ement house districts places of residence
for college men and others DESTROYS Of
aiding in the work, with rooms where
the people Of the neighborhood may
meet for social and educational pur-
poses"
The New York Press says, "The en-
couraging feature of it all is the com
parative disappearance Of the old notion
of the co~ndescenslon Of the rich toward
the poor, the old p~atronizing tone and
style of dong things for the masses.
There is an increasing tendency to adj
nit that the humblest and poorest peo-
pie, as the less fortunate brothers and
sisters Of the rest Of mankind, have
moral rights to opportunities for cul-
ture and pleasure far in excess of the
pittance of rights which the skeleton OF
law authorizes for them. These tene-
ment house reform and peoples palace
enterprises are the according of rights,
not the doing of favors to the masses.
They are no more than the duty of
every person who can contribute either
a dollar or an idea to their furtherance."
DR.. Rainsford, of st. Georges church,
on Stuyvesant square, uttered an idea
a few weeks ago which covered a great
deal more of the ground than he applied
i, to, when he said he did not believe in
cutting off the masses with mission
chapels in which a weak, scared little
priest and a hoarse, ill-drilled choir con-
Quoted services with a little old organ
out of tune in a dingy little room with
plain walls and dirty windows. The
masses ought to have the most beauti-
full churches, inside and outside, in
town, the finest music, the most artistic
frescoes and stained glass windows, and
the surpliced choirs following gilded
crosses ought to go through the worst
streets in town singing as the brave and
uncouth Salvation army people do, only
a great deal better. That Is the idea
that should move college-bred mon to
Join in this and other efforts to give the
most numerous element of the popula
ton the best opportunities for enjoy
ment and culture.
The men engaged in the work are all
imbued with DR.. Rainsford's ideas and
will carry them out as far as their re-
sources will permit. It is a noble In
dertaking, worthy Of tho humanitarian
spirit of the nineteenth century.

LOCAL ETCHINGS.

Always having a profound respect and a

to that effect. Instead, I find Miss Buzzell

with nothing gruesome in her appearance.
She did not wear a sanctified air or SIT with
folded hands. asked her regarding her
work among the Chinese and she cheerfully
answered my questions.
Three years ago Miss Buzzell graduated
from a missionary school in Chicago. Hell
parents are at present doing missionary
work in the state of Nebraska.
How could you reach the Chinese in an
Ineligible way if you did not speak thei,
language?"

speak a word of English, and | was
obliged to learn their tongue to make mysel,

one, as they have so many different intiec-
tions for the same word. There was II,
grammar in the Chinese language so l didn'
have that to contend with

The arrest of an amateur detective in
Butte for annoying Mrs. w. J. Penrose
calls to mind the fact that Helena is full of
them. You pass them on every street cor
ner, touch elbows with them at the bars.
They go about with their hats pulled down
over their wrinkled foreheads. look at every
passer by through half-closed eyelids or out
of the corners of their eyes. just az a de-
tective is supposed to do in the yellow
backed novels. The murderers of William
]. Penrose, if there are any of them around,
could spot these sleuth hounds two blocks
off. 1t is pretty much the same as if they
carried the following banner inscribed: II
am looking for the murderer of William
j. Penrose, n you want to give me plenty
of room.'' Each one has an idea that he
is the possessor of the tru and only solu-
ton of the mystery, and he is certain to
earn that $4,000 reward. The spectacle of
two mysterious looking gentlemen shad-
owing each other from opposite sides of the
street is no unusual one these nights. They
are both on the same business, but do not
know each other. These man chasers are
getting so thick that it might be a relief to
inoffensive strangers if the Vidocqs s.would
run each other in and give the community

are held in this penitentiary. all the hang
ings in Ohio taking place in the annex to
the Columbus Penitentiary.
MANY a murderer's life has been saved
by a sentimental sheriff, said Mr.. Gates.
Before the law passed in our State provid-
ing that all executions take place at the peni-
tentiary the Sheriffs whose duty 1t was to
hang murderers greatly disliked the job.
They would throw every possible obstacle in
the way, and through their personal efforts
many death sentences were commuted.
Occasionally, when there was no escape
from the duty, the job was terribly bum
gled. / remember that several years ago
Sheriff John Gay, of Knox county. had to
hang a man. The Sheriff felt thousand
times worse than the criminal, and if re-
member Alright, tainted before the execution
was over. Yes, he hanged the man finally.
Then there is another thing, when the exc
cutions are held in one place the mechan-
ism Of the gallows is kept in better working
order, the officials know their business and
don't get ratified, and the whole thing passes
off smoothly without any unpleasant bitches.
The law Is an undoubted success in Ohio"
