The Mary Cecil Kindergarten

Mr.. Howard Gratz, editor of the
Lexington Gazette, has established
two monuments to the memory of
his parents, which are far better
than bronze or marble. To die 10
sad; to be forgotten, sadder still;
and nothing so perpetuates the
recollection of good men and
women as that which calls for the
continuance of their good deeds at
the hands of worthy successors.
Gratz Park has woD its high
reputation as a pleasure ground.
Here when the present owner was
a lad, he played, with a hundred
others, while the mother enjoyed
their sport. And taking a few
lessons in surgery from DR.. Dudley,
that mother was wont to bind up
the cut fingers, gashed heads and
sprained ankles Of the headlong
clan. When apples were ripe on
the farm, she had bushels of them
gathered and brought to the park,
where they were strewed over the
grass, more than enough for even
those greedy youngsters.
Mary Cecil Gratz was not only
one Of the most beautiful women
of her day, but was ever active in
good work. She was one of the
founders of the Orphans Home.
In honor of her virtues her son has
established a free kindergarten at
the Industrial School building on
N. Upper Street. He employs as
teacher, Miss Mary Hamilton,
whose worth and ability are we'll
known in the community. Tho
children who gather there are fast
learning something besides squalor
and misery. Realizing that the
only path to the young animals
affections is through its stomach,
their benefactor gives them stick
of candy every morning. This
ensures sweet beginning, and the
rest is easy. A charity so noble
deserves and will doubtless obtain,
recognition for generations to come.

should soften at the thought of

Unless you really do not want
to buy, it is hardly fair to have
the tired arms tumble down piece
after piece till the counter is piled
mountain high. The girl is paid
to get tired. Oh, yes; but if it
were your own girl, would you
not have mercy?
Sometimes you are in good
faith yet fail to be pleased with
the stock. All right. These
hints are not for legitimate con-

that sick husband, or tretful
babe, or private grief. You do
not realize that day off means
docked wages, for business knows
no mercy; and dollars and cents
have no sympathy. The clerk
must stand to his post, else those
pushing from behind may crowd
into his place. Nothing is easier
than to supply vacancies.
There is too much shopping
done from carriage windows.
Avoid calling out the busy clerks,
but go inside, or send some friend
who will serve you.
Do your shopping before five
o'clock, especially in warm
weather. True. the nap at home
in your cool corner is hardly 60
ing before that hour, and then
you must have your breezy drive,
fetching up at SIX o'clock to buy
something. This is just right for
you; but how about the pale book
keeper back in her little dark,
hot pen, obliged to wait till you
are gone to record the charges, or
the cash, for both must go down?
How about the clerks who, hav-
ing stood idle since dinner, must
now fold up and put away and
cover with dust spreads every
counter in the store, when tho
hour has come to close doors and
go home.
Our readers are all devoted to
good words and works. Do not,
then, forget the bloodless battles
that are daily and hourly fought
behind the counters.

"MADAMEs" MUST MOVE.
Business Men Are Driving Them
From First Street South.

The First street houses of ill-fame
must go. For some time there has been
in existence an organization of business
men, whose object is to clear out tho
houses of vice on First street south.
These are the men who are taking steps
to have the houses removed. not the
projectors Of the new union depot. This
organization is composed of business
men and property owners who have
been immeaSuracly damaged by the
presence on First street of the houses
of ill-fame. They are deter
mined to suffer their encroach-
ments no longer. Several blocks Of
valuable business property have been
blighted. Now it is proposed to cure
the blight. The men back of this move
ment are not foolish Ell ugh to imagine
that they can suppress the social evil.
They merely desire that its home be
made where it will not interfere with
legitimate business. They are setting
about it in buSinesS-like way.
AS before stated, these business men
have an organization. They have plenty
of money. A lawyer has been secured
to attend to their interests. They will
begin proceedings not against the
''madameS," but against the people who
own fhe property. There is law against
the renting of property to be used for
immoral purposes. That law will be
enforced until the property owners con-
clude to find other tenants. The first
move has been made by securing the
agreement Of the Minneapolis Union
Railway company to GUST the tenants
from its property. This company owns
nearly all of the river side of First street.
The cOmpany's agent has been in
structed to collect no more rents from
the frail sisterhood and to give them Or
ders to quit.
The case of the North Star Wooden
Mill company illustrates the damaging
effect of the presence of the houses
where they are. The retail department
of the company had to be moved up
town because customers couldn't visit
the Old store without subiecting them
selves to insult on the way thither.
Now comes the question, where will
"the houses" go? Some of them may go
to Main street southeast. But there
isn't much room there, and the East
siders will object. On the whole, Sec
ond street, north of the railroad tracks,
seems to be the most out of the way
place for the confinement of the evil.

MISS WILLARD REJECTED.
She viii Not Attend the Ecumen-
icaI Council as a Delegate.

The name of Miss Willard has been
rejected by the commission of bishops
and divlnes who elect delegates to the
ecumenical convention to be held in the
city of Washington next October. The
incid ent has occasioned some excite
ment and indignation on the part of a
large number Of ladies protesting the
Methodist faith. Among such the i'm
preston prevails that Miss Willard was
denied the privilege of representing her
section at the council because she is
woman. 1t is reported that not a
few of the female members Of the
church desire to hold meeting in the
city of New York for the purpose of
protesting against the action of the COM
mission in this respect. 1t would ap-
pear, however, that there is little
ground for the belief that Miss Willard
has in any way been ''snubbed."
Bishop Fitzgerald has explained, for
publication, the methods in vogue in Sc
Iecting delegates. He, says in sub
stance, that the commission consists of
thirteen members, three OF which are
bishops, five are ministers and the re-
mainder laymen. This body determines
who shall or shall not be delegates to
the ecumenical councils. The gen.
eral conferences are made up of
different annual conferences, and
are divided as evenly as possible.
''Some of them contained five annual
conferences, and others as high as
eight. Each annual conference nOmi-
mated four of its number, two ministers
and two laymen. These names were
sent to the commission, which is to select
seven from the lot to represent the gen.
eral conference at the ecumenical gath
ering. The conferences represented
were from all over the world, and each
had its proper number of delegates"
Miss Wizards section is known as the
Rock river conference. 1t comprises a
large district of country, embracing the
states of Wisconsin and Michigan and
the northern part of Illinois. 1t has
five annual conferences, and as each
Is entitled to four nominees there
were twenty names submitted to the
commission, from which it could select
but seven. Among the thirteen whose
names were rejected was Miss Wizards.
Bishop Fitzgerald regrets the useless
agitation that has, he thinks, without
the assistance of Miss Willard, grown
out of the affair, and has expressed his
appreciation of the lady's character in
the highest of terms. The discussion
of the action of the commission proba-
bly, arises from lack of a thorough I'M
derstanding of the manner of selecting
delegates to the ecumenical council.

states that the owners shall pay for

Lumber Prices.

The Lumberman says the first of the

ing taken toward getting out unifor m

and neglect rather than opposition, as
stock taking has advanced far enough
to indicate light stocks. the inventories.
it is said, showing less profit on the
years business than should be the case
in many instances. Lists have been is
sued showing some advances, but no
attempts at uniformity has been made,
though the tendency is upward. The
last two weeks have been dull in coop
erage circles. The call for barrels has
been very light, owing to the steady
-four production, which gave the East
ern market little supply stock ahead
of the demands. Minneapolis coopers
are limiting their output as much as
possible,
