THE DAY NURSERY.
A Healthy and Happy Lot of Children
Cared for In Good shane.

The work of the Day Nursery has largely de-
veioped since the society moved into its new
quarters at Madison and Williamson streets.
The institution has been carried on at the new
building since about April first, and from nine
the society has now twenty-one children under
its protecting care. The building is neat two
story structure. containing twelve large rooms,
and large play ground up stairs for the little
children, and would accommodate comfortably
th!rty-fve.
Mrs. L. T. Morrow, the matron, Ia very busy
woman. She has over a score of beings 10 look
after, and succeeds in performing her duties
we'll, especially in view OF the fact that she has
but one assistant. Thirteen OF the children are
under years OF age, four are still using the bot
tie and four are sent daily to the public school.
What little time the matron can spare she uses
in teaching her charges certain branches OF
kindergarten work. and when she has more as
slstsnce win have q regular kindergarten in
connection with the nursery.
All the children are reported now as being In
q happy and healthy condition. although q
number suffered from la grippe during the past
season Of bad weather. The societys work is
scarcely that OF day nursery all Of the chill
dren a; the home are there permanently. In
order to secure admission to the nursery per
nit must be secured from q member of the
board. Ii costs about $50 per month 20 carry on
the work. The institution is beyond doubt a
very worthy one and is entitled 10 every public
consideration.

A New Departure.

Seattle has indeed entered upon new era in
the matter of building, and one which
will make her great city. Until recently the
two classes of Landlords and tenants have been
very large In Seattle, but within the last year ii
has come to lie understood that the interest of
every head OF & family demands that be
have home OF his own. To meet this general
demand many meritorious plans have been
brought 20 pubic notice. Among the number,
special attention may be claimed by the plans
OF the Green Lake Home Building Company,
now managing the property in the Green Lake
suburb.
II offers every sort of inducement that an
owner of land could offer to a home-seeker.
This company will use in buildings and I'm
movements at Green lake all proceeds Of lots
sold for number OF years. IL offers limited
number of lots free TO house builders. II offers
to guarantee loans for lot purchasers who de-
sire 10 borrow money on their lots to build
with; IL offers lots under contract TO builders,
giving two years time, without In
tereSt, at which time the lot install
ments viii commence. still giving annie
time 10 pay the original price of the lots
The company also makes the following offer,
which is remarkable. Ii offers clear
deed for lots 10 builder without the pay
meui Of dollar down, and allows him
70 put first mortgage on the lost and house for
the money TO build, and take a second mortgage
for the price of the lots, on which no payment
will fall due for two years, giving the
builder time TO pay of the cost OF his
house before paying for the lots. This viii
enab c a man with almost no money to get q
home, where he pleases, when he pleases aud
built by himself, to suit himself Three years
of rent paying would put most men in a CON-
Portable home If they adopted this plan.
The new building plan has also wrought a
revolution in the real estate business. The
agent who sells wild lots from a map Aourishes
no more. No property will sell now till ii is
cleared and has cleared streets snd sidewalks
car service, etc, in fact, not until ii is in
dition for immediste use. This Green Lake
property meets all these conditions and more.

HOOPER IN LUCK.
Acquitted OF Selling Morphine without
Labelling IL on a Technicality.


Labelling II on Technically.
James o. Hooper, who sold the fatal poison
which cost the life OF Wallace Kerr four weeks
ego. was on trial IN Judge Hnmes' court yester-
day, charged with selling poison without put
ting label on the package, but got of on legal
technicality.
The Jury had been empaneled and the trial
began. Robert 5. Coe, the first witness. told
how his room mate. W allace Kerr, was sick with
Ia grippe and sent him to the drug store to get
TWENTY grains OF sulfonal. He went TO Hoop
er's drug store, got what he supposed was sui
fonal and gave IL to Kerr. Next morning Kerr
was unconscious and could not be revived, but
died several hours later.
DR.. p. b. NJ. Miller said he was called on the
morning of April Is To attend Kerr and found
him suffering from the effects of morphine
poisoning but 10 was too late to administer an
emetic and the only hope was In artificial res
piration, but nothing would restore Kerr to
Consciousness. DR.. Miller said he examined
some OF the medicine left in the spoon and an
siyred It and found IL to be sulphate OF NOR
pbine.
II was also shown that no label whatever had
been put on the paper In which the drug was
wrapped.
When the state had closed Its case. James VI.
Epler. one OF Hooper's attorneys moved that the
jury be directed 10 return a verdict for the de-
iendant, because the section of the code t954)
unueF wnicn the Information was drawn nad
been repealed by q subsequent act, so far as
morphine Is concerned that that section only
applies 20 the sale of arsenic, corrosive subli-
mate, strychnine and several other active poi
sons, but not 10 morphine, which has been pro-
yided for In another law to partial extent
The question was argued BY Mr.. Epler and
Prosecuting Attorney Miller, after which Judge
Humes granted the motion aud ordered YER
diet OF scquittal, holding that under the law in
Its present condition he did not think Hooper
could DC held under the section upon which
the Information was based.
The other section under which Hooper could
have been held only provides for dne OF $40.
and that is why he Was held under section s54.
HIS other case, ceiling poison without register
Ing the name OF the seller, will be called for
Trial today or tomorrow
