There is a charitable movement being
carried on by several young society la
dies of this city for the purpose of es-
tablishing a fund for the relief of the de
formed and crippled unfortunates Of the
Children's hospital, deformed by nature
or accident, and whose only hope in this
world is derived from the sympathy and
charity of others. Besides being de-
formed and crippled, many of these I'M
fortunate children are so poor as to pre-.
vent them from having such mechanical
appliances IS would, in a general meas
ure, relieve their sufferings and contrib
ute largely to their permanent recovery.
These appliances the fund of the Chill
dren's hospital is not sufficient to supply.
These ladies propose to establish, with
the aid of such persons as are willing to
assist, a fund to be called the ''crutch
and splint fund" of the Children's hos
pital.
They propose to buy crutches, splints
and the mechanical devices necessary for
the nse-of these children, who are
doomed to go through life crippled and

A few days ago the friends of n prom
inent society woman were startled by
the report hat she was dangerously i'll.
In speaking of her illness to a particular
friend of the lady the cause of it
was brought u She is allowed by
her husband SO much a month for
dresses. During the last social season
she bought so many handsome ball cos
tunes that her allowance only seemed a
drop in the bucket toward paying for
them. Her costumes attracted so much
attention that her vanity was excited,
and she ~endeavored, with each succeed
ing dress, to surpass the last. This she
succeeded in doing. Every action must
have a corresponding reaction. Her
pleasure, caused by being the best dressed
woman in Louisville, has given place to
her sorrow. caused by her having the
largest millinery bills of any woman in
Louisville.
The bills were sent to her, amounting
10 81, 200. She Immediately retired to
her bed. Doctors were sent for, but for
"A week she continued to grow worse.
Her husband became alarmed, and told
her that if she would just get well he
would do anything for her. She said
she could not. At last, in despair, she
told him if he would just pay her bill
and forgive her she would try and get
well, He promised. He paid the bill
From that m she began to recu-
perate, and in a few days was almost en-
tirely we'll. She then confessed to her
husband, who forgave her. She has
promised to live within her allowance,
which he has increased. So they are

There lives at the big penitentiary on
Church street a family Ct dogs which are
as interesting as any dogs in the state.
Some Of them belong to the officials con
nected with the prison and some belong
to the prison itself, but they all live and
eat together in perfect harmony. The
most prominent, perhaps, Is the large
Newfoundland, Nellie, the property Of
F. II. Grass. She possesses almost hui
man Intelligence, and there seems hardly
limit to her capacity for learning. She
will GO errands, steal a hat off the head
of the wearsr or preach to you. She IL
the mother % four curly, clumsy little
babies, whose frOlicsOme gambols she
watches with grave dignity.
Nellie loves her babies very much; in
fact she loves any kind Of a child, and
will play with one by the hour. Her
master has a little four-year-old girl, and
when Nellie is there to see her they al
ways have a big rump. One of their
games is hide and seek. The little girl
goes and hides while Nellie is held with
here eyes covered. When the time to
looking arrives Nellie scours
the whole ,,dace aud never fails TO find
the little toe. When found she gently
takes her by the arm and leads her to her
mother.
Another interesting dog living at the
prison is the great Danish mastiff
Dante" He is a glorious old fellow,
just such u dog as was the friend of
Little Lord Fauntleroy, and looks fero-
Cious enough to eat up a man; but he
wouldn't, for he is sweet tempered and
amiable. He does not get a chance to
see many people except the convicts, but
he il very fond Of children, and when
they come into the prison yard he fol
lows them around, and will not leave
them as long as they stay in the yard.
There is also a fine greyhound, sew
eral hunting dogs and u saucy little
spaniel that takes liberties with the big
fellows. On pretty days they will have
a romp. and it is a funny thing to see
the greyhound jump clean over the whole
crowd when they run him too close
