DAY NURSERY REPORT
Upon the Work of the Past Year ut the
Annual Meeting.


The annual meeting of the Day Nursery
was held to-day at l2 o'clock. One of the
most prosperous and fruitful years yet
recorded has been closed and glance at
what the Day Nursery system has been
doing will be of interest and importance
To every one Interested in this beneficial
work.
The report of the secretary, Mrs. Met
calf, shows vast amount OF good work
done this year. The initial object of the
organization is to help others TO a sou-
tion OF the problem OF how to help them
selves. For eight years the society has
been engaged in the work of educating
and caring for the young children Of
parents whose bitter struggles with pow
erty have placed al insuperable barrier
IN the way OF their offsDrings' progress.
There are two branches Of the nursery
one at Grace Memorial Home and one at
the Ship street home.
The work undertaken by the nursery is
both instructive aud parental in char
acter. The nursery is patrOnizsd almost
exclusively by children Of mill workers
and those engaged in similar occupa-
tions. The parents are practically power
less to superintend the education OF
their children, much less To incur
the expense ordinarily involved in he
Kindergarten s,stem. The day nursery
was founded 10 meet this want. Tue
children are taken into the home, cared
for aud educated with precisely the same
hdellty that would be observed by high
priced goyerness. All nationaiities are
represented among the children in the
nursery. The people oil Providence have
taken AN immense interest III the work
aud large contributions ot-clotAing- aud
money. AS well AS truly appreciated sym
pathy.

diture for the year of S2,yl9.96; receipts

FRUITLESS MISSION.
Mgr sstoiii Failed to Pledge the Amer
lean Arch hbishops.

lean ArcuDisnOPs.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. l2--It is learned here
that there is much CONSERVATION at the
Office Of the Cardinal Secretary Of State
on account OF the failure OF Mgr. Satollis
mission TO the United States.
Since the publication Of Pope Leo's
Enciycical OF new things no such commo-
ton has appeared in ecclesiastic circles.
Mgr. Sa olli has failed to accomplish
what Mrg. Ireland assured Cardinal
Rampolla there would be no difficulty in
accomplishing.
During Mgr. Ireland's sojourn in Rome
last summer he completely captured the
Vatican. lie assured the cardinal secre-
tary that there was "A glorious future IN
store Tor the church In America IL certain
obstacles were removed and pointed out
erlnss OF priests aud bishops apd, above
all, the condemnation Of the public
schools by the American hierarchy.
Remove these" said the great Arch
bishop or ST. Paul. "and all America will
within fe% years be Catholic" Mgr.
Ireland suggested the following plans for
the removal of these obstacles To Catho-
lie pr gress First. the esta blishment of
an apostolic delegate ia the United States
on the matter OF education. He came To
America, represented the Holy Father at
the opening OF the Chicago exhibition,
and when the conference OF the arch
bishops Of the United STATES was held
Nov. IL at New York. Mgr. Satolli ap-
peared and was introduced TO the assem-
bled archbishops by Cardinal Gibbons.
When the archbishops came TO consi der
Mgr. Satoil's basis OF settlement of the
school question all. with the exception oil
Mgr. IFei+ae, refused TO sign IT,
There is just now much speculation In
ecclesiastical circles AS to the future
movements of Mgr Satolli The chances
are that he will return To Rome to be
present at the Pope's jubilee next Feb
ruary, and will not be sent back to the
United States in any capacity.

ONE WOMAN In POLITICS
Mrs. Lease, the Famous Peoples
Party Orator.
SHE MAY BE A KANSAS SENATOR
She is Known as the "ksnsas Cyclone"
and is One of the Most Indefatigabie
Campaign Workers - Her Loyalty to
the Farmers Alliance.

One of the most conspicuous figures In
the late National campaign in which the
Third Party, 30 called, became a promi-
nent factor In the West and South, was
Mrs. Mary Il. Lease, the Populist orator,
OF Kansas, who is known as the Kansas
Cyclone"
For some years Mrs. Leases ability as
an orator has been known In Kansas and
adjoining States, but during the last
campaign her fame was spread in the
South, where she made bold and aggres-
sive stumping tour, In connection with
Gen. Weaver, the Peoples party candi-
date for President.
At the opening OF the Presidential can
vass OF 1888 Senator Ingalls,, in one of his
Characteristic speeches delivered at Abb
lene, Kan, stated that "woman has no
place in politics" 1t was this sentence
that inspired Mrs. Lease to affiliate her
self with the new party. She is one OF
the most remarkable of women, and, "a
she herself says, is the best advertised
lady in America. One OF her friends at
that time asked her why she joined the
Populist party. She answered: "Be-
cause ] can not find place elsewhere"
The large vote brought out by the Peo-
pies party in that campaign was ex-
Oy btudtOT ppGHkef
Reed, and others as being due in great
measure TO the women of the country
and their influence on the voting
population. This explanation applied
with special force In the case of "the
Kansas revolt" as 1t was termed. The
Farmers Alliance of that State was
largely controlled by women during that
campaign, and the farmers wives sur
passed their husbands in the work OF Or
ganizing against the Republican party.
The most conspicuous figure in the
campaign against the old parties was Mrs.
Lease. She is one of the few female law
yers of prominence in Kansas and her
sympathies were early enlisted in behalf
of the oppressed farmers by that epigram-
matte remark of the brilliant Ingalls, re-
ferred to. Mrs. Lease visited every local
ity in the State, and developed into one
of the most attractive and convincing
speakers engaged in the contest. Her
services were in constant demand, and at
every prominent meeting Of the Alliance
party she was the Minerva Of the occa.
