One ofthe Most Significant Institutions
I'm the World

One ofthe Most Significant Institutions
in the World.
One Of the best and most convincing re-
suits of the unselfish activity OF women
that can be found in the whole wide range
OF woman's activity is the work done at
Hull House, Chicago. This is an old resi-
dence that, as the city has grown, has be-
come surrounded by the densest popula-
tion, the greater proportion of whom are
foreigners who have not yet adapted them
selves to American Italians, Ger
mans, Jews and all the medley that dwells
in the most crowded tenements. In Hull
House, some years ago little band OF de-
voted women set up their residence in or
der to try to improve the condition of
their neighbors, and it has grown to be
one of the most notable institutions in
the Christian world. 1t nurses babies for
poor women while they have to work, it
teaches foreigners the literature OF their
own tongue, it keeps relentless landlords
from committing cruelties to poor ten
ants, it finds homes for deserted children,
it enters the law courts in defence of many
an oppressed woman, it has distinguished
lecturers and attentive listeners to them
even on abstruse subjects-so that in every
practical way, from ministration to the I
most rudimentary wants of the poor, to I
stimulating their most ambitious intel
lectual efforts, this mutifarious work is
carried on. There are classes almost in
Vulnerable; there are art exhibits that
would do credit to the weathiest portion
of the city; there are social entertainments
lin fact, there is hardly want physical,
mental or moral, that Hull House does
not manage in some way to supply. A
detailed and exceedingly interesting ac-
count of the growth and management of
this great institution is published by Miss
Jane Addams, one of the founders OF it, in
the October number OF "The Forum" Miss
Adcams claims that this work, which she
calls can Effort toward Social Democra-
ey," is not charity work-indeed, is not
even philanthropic; but that it is simply j
the outgrowth Of what ought to be the
natural desire OF all persons to give prae-
tical aid to the best tendencies in the lives
OF their neighbors, and she asserts that ,
quite as much good is received by those
who do this excellent service as by those q
who are the recipients OF il.

I
Among all civilized people it has
become an unwritten law that all ami
mosities should cease in the presence Of
death, and he, who disregards this and
continues his warfare against a person
after that person has been laid to rest
in the silent grave and is unable to
defend himself, is regarded as little bet
ter than those savages. who mutilate
and rob the bodies OF the dead upon
the field OF battle.
As a member of the newspaper fra
terniiy of this state, we regret that one
OF our number should so far dis
regard the plain decencies Of life as to
write such an editorial as appeared in
the Watchman last week, upon the late
Hiram Atkins. Let the good that he
has done live after him and the evil be
inferred with his bones.
Were it necessary to condemn any
thing in his past career, il would be wise
TO heed the words of the Great Teach
er: .'I.et him, who is without sin
among you, cast the first stone" We
do not wonder that the press is quick
to condemn it, The St. Albaus Mes
senger says;

Tine Most Important Fact about Uhol-

Tine Most Important Fact about Chol-
era.
The most important fact about cholera.
fact to bear in mind and to emphasize, is
that it is a disease that is never generated
on this continent and can come here only
by importation. 1t has never travelled
faster than it could be conveyed by sea or
land, and it has always followed the track
OF human migration or of commerce. Af-
ter every visitation in America or in Eu-
rope, it has been completely stamped out
in both these continents. When it has
come again, it has always been brought
from its home and breeding place-Asia.
II quarantine is a sue -essful method of
prevention by communities and by con-
tinents, as it has been proved to be over
and over again, the same method IS appii-
cable Ito great degree) to personal pre-
vention of the disease when II has invaded
community. Cholera is not communi-
Gated directly from one person to another,
even under circumstances OF the greatest
intimacy; yet it is spread only by patients
afflicted with the disease. BY means of
one infected person in whom the disease
has manifested itself by only an apparent
ly Insignificant diarrhea, cholera can be
conveyed to whole locality. This person
may travel without further development
of the disorder, but he may leave behind
him matter which may give rise to the
most deadly epidemic. 1t is thus no long
er inexplicable how the cholera in its wan
derings takes no defined course. but
spreads indifferently, now from west to
east, now from east to west; now with the
wind and now against it; in cold weather
as in warm weather; how it always fol-
lows the routes of travel; how it does not
60 from place to place in a shorter time
than is required for men to travel the
same distance, and how, since the build
ing Of railways, it has been able to spread
more quickly than before. Sometimes it
has made great leaps. In the localities
visited by the disease, the houses and
streets in which those infected reside are
OF course, the places OF the greatest dan
ger. II has happened that a single house
OF street has for long time been the only
infected locality. But while those build-
ings or neighborhoods first visited by the
cholera are being depopulated, the infec-
tion sooner or later is easily communi-
Gated 10 other houses and streets, partly
uy means Of common priyies and partly
ey other ways, surely by water if BY any
means the water supply has been Affected.

Over the Dam They Wont.

There was an interesting and ex-
citing episode at the Potomac Cement
Works below Shepherdstown on
Tuesday. Five colored men who
were in scow got little too close
TO the dam near one of the big breaks
and the swift current carried them
over. All escaped with their lives
aud only one got a ducking. Just rs
the bow of the boat was going over
the dam Lee Campbell jumped of the
stern. The boat went through like
flash and the current carried him less
swiftly behind it. The spectators
thought that he would surely be
drowned, for he was under water
nearly half the time, bobbing up and
down like a cork and wildly paving
the water as he would sink or swim
He was finally rescued near the fish
pot wall bv some men In small boat,
and the crew OF the scow managed to
bring their craft TO the shore below
the mill
1t il said that John Brown got re-
ligion just before the boat wept over
the dam. John prayed like a good
fellow, but he suffered so much
worse than usual that it is miraculous
that the Lord understood his calls for
mercy.
