OLD LADIES' Home.
Annual Meeting of the Trustees Of
the Institution.
1t Now Has Seventeen Inmates-The Re-
cont Visit of Its Founder, Mrs.
Margaret z. Crocker.

The Trustees of the Marguerite Home
for Old Ladies held their annual meeting
yesterday. A large amount of business
was transacted directly concerning the
home, and which is not Of general inter-
est to the public.
The old Board of Trustees-Messrs.
Frank Miller, l.. Mebius, Charles Nc
Creary, c. f. Dillman and DR.. G. l.. Sim
mons-were reelected. The immediate
management of the home is under the
direction of board consisting of Mes
danes Miller, Mebius, McCreary, Dill
man, Simmons and circuit.
Mrs. Fanny Stafford, Matron of the
home, submitted her annual report,
which contained a number of suggestions
regarding improvements, etc.
There has been one death during the
year, that of Mrs Elvira Baldwin, aged
50 years, who was admitted to the home
in November, 1890. Two persons have
been admitted during the year, making
seventeen i'll all who are now enjoying
the comforts and blessings of the home.
The following reference is made in the
report to Mrs. NJ. L. Croker, the good
lady who established the home and so
literally endowed it:
Many times during the year have we had
renewed evidence OF the thoughtful kindness
and continued interest OF our esteemed bene-
factress, Mrs. Margaret 4. Croker. Just prior
to the date of my last report. Mrs. Croker
had made provision for supplying certain
needs. During the year the Railways stairs
anu dining room have been handsomely re-
carpeted by her. Twice have we been the re-
clpients from her OF donations of books MAX
ing library which the family greatly enjoys
ana fully appreciates. On Sunday, december
18th, Mrs. Crocker honored us by her pres
ence at dinner. The occasion was entirely
informal Mrs. Croker being the only guest,
but her presence, her graciousness of manner
and kindly expressed interest made it an
event which Will always be remembered with
pleasure by the family. The conversation par
took largely of a reminiscent character, and
the early experiences of Mrs. Croker in Cali
fornia were delightfully."- recounted by her,
while accounts of her travels were listened to
with deepest interest. Mrs. CrocGers removal
from Sacramento is nowhere more regretted
than i'll the Marguerite Home, where her true,
worth and character are so well known and
appreciated.
All the rooms at the Home are now oc-
cupled, and the trustees are considering
the matter of erecting an addition to the
building to meet future demands.

Found Shoeless and Apparently Asleep
in Private House.
On Wednesday night, couple of hours
after Mrs. J. A. Barrett and her daughter
had returned from a lecture TO their home
at Twelfth and G streets, a noise was
heard in the kitchen and Mrs. Barrett. on
going into the room, discovered man
lying on the floor apparently asleep.
She fastened outside to arouse the
neighbors and happened to meet officer
Lowell, who was in that vicinity at the
time. The officer found the man shoes
on the sidewalk, and after breaking in
the back door. aroused the mysterious
sleeper and took him to the Police
Station. He appeared to be drunk and
gave the name of John Howard.
When questioned yesterday he said he
was utterly at a loss to account for his be-
ing found in the room. He stated that he
was railroad man and had become in
toxicated that evening, but it was mys-
terry to him how he ever entered the
house.
The officers believe he is innocent. bat
admit that there is some mystery sur
rounding the case.

SHE MARRIED HIM.
A Shamefaced Groom Was About to Leave
His Intended Bride to Her Fate.

A Shame efaced Groom Was About to Leave
His Intended Bride to Her Fate.
In the old Colonial day, when a
we'll to do woman owned one silk
dress, wore it for lifetime and then
bequeathed it still in good condition
to her children. the buying of that
precious galln 1t was a serious mat
ter indeed. AT sixteen, if her father
could afford to buy it for her, girl
was considered of age to possess the
coveted gown and sweep proudly
forth in it to full young ladyhood.
Often a country girl would travel
many miles with father or brother
to select the fabric in the nearest
large town. Often, too, the purchase
was deferred until she was about to
marry, and she went instead with
the young man of her choice and
the couple bought at the same time
their household furniture and the
wedding dress of the bride
It is pleasant to think of the min
gled delight and anxiety Of such
pair of old time lovers out shopping
together; but there is one instance
at least on record where the expedi-
ton ended in disaster
A young man and maiden from
old Newbury had ridden to Boston, a
journey of forty miles, on horseback,
the prospective bride mounted be-
hind her betrothed upon pillion.
They had relatives in the city with
whom they staid over night, and
were thus enabled to make their pur-
chases at their leisure, with careful
consideration for each.
At length everything was bought
or bargained for, and the bundles
securely tied up and arranged for the
return journey, but when the mo-
ment arrived for the bride to re-
mount upon the pillion she found
some difficulty in accomplishing the
feat, and to make it easier for her
the horse was brought close to the
side of large hogshead, standing in
what is now Dock square, Boston.
With the aid of box she mounted
to the top and was about to step
thence to the horses back, when the
heading gave way beneath her feet
and she was precipitated with a
splash and shrek into the contents
of the hogshead, which was filled to
the brim with good West India molas-
sesl
Blinded, sticky and sputtering, the
unfortunate young woman cried for
help and struggled vainly to scram
BILE out of her sugary prison. She
could do nothing unassisted, and

1t Lacked Life.

Almost every little community
contains at least one person, usually
woman, who appears to take a
morbid pleasure in attending fune
rails. She goes whether or not she
was intimate or even acquainted
with the deceased person It is
enough for her that there is to be a
funeral
Such a woman lives in a little Con
necticut town. She is known to all
her neighbors as Aunt Hetty In
most respects she is like good many
other harmless and well meaning
people, but those who know her well
say that she counts that week as lost
in which there has been no funeral
to attend
She had just returned from one the
other day looking rather downcast,
when a neighbor met her
Been to the funeral, Aunt Hetty?''
Eyes, went.
"She wasn't particular friend of
yours, was she?'

life"
