CHARITIES AND CORRECTION.
Session of the National Conference to be
Held in Denver June 1880

| heiu IN Denver, June SS-oO.
Until the present century the policy
of Europe, in dealing with crime ant
pauperism, was the best possible if til,
object had been to propagate and in
crease them both. The states Of the new
world necessarily copied many Of tn,
methods of the old. Unfortunately
along with much that was true ant
wise, they copied and perpetuated many
old blunders. But with the advance Of
modern thought, especially with the
enormous widening of the sphere OIL
scientific knowledge, have come new
and better ways of dealing with the de.
fective, the criminal and the pauper.
The national conference Of Charities
| and Correction, which meets annually
in one or other of the chief cities of the
nation, brings together representative
body Of the people throughout the land
whose business it is to deal with the
poor, the ignorant and the criminal, OF
who are devoted as good citizens to the
work of private charity, Its object is
the introduction of enlightened methods
of graphing with the evils and misfor-
tunes of life. It combines the best
! philanthropy of all creeds and all shades
VI PoiiSai OpinlOH, upon lue UTOhu
platform of humanity. 1t does not con-
iiict with any form of existing benevo-
lence, but it aims to place before the
country, by the aid of the press, such
details of practical information, with
the results of experimental altruism, as
cannot but be helpful to all.
The 18th session of this important
national organization will be held in
Denver, June 23d to 30th, 1899. The
preliminary programme has Just been
published and extensively circulated.
1t offers an attractive series of meetings;
its topics include many of tho important
social problems Of the day. II has stand
ing committees upon state boards of
charities, reformatory work, kinder
gartens and child.saving, care and
classification of the insane, commit
ment and detention of the insane,
charity organization in cities, the Indian
policy in its relations 10 crime and pau
pcrism, the colony plan for the feeble
minded, immigration and migration be-
tween states, defensive and preventive
measures against pauperism and crime,
and the cooperation of women in the
management of charitable and penal
institutions. Each of these committees
has charge of q general session of the
conference, and several of them will
also conduct special or sectional ses-
sions, in which they will discuss their
subjects in detail.
The membership of this conference is
ono Of its unique features. 1t has no
salarled officers and no selfish benefit to
offer to anyone, SO its doors are opened |
to all the world; whosoever will may |
come in, on footing of the most perfect |
equality. The fact that you are inter- |

TRYING TO float THE EfDER.
Hopes That the Big Atlantic Liner Will
Soon Be In Deem Water AGAIN.

LONDON, March 26.-All the preparntions
to get the North German LLOYD steamer
Elder off the Atherfeld ledge have been
completed. The principal holes in her
bottom have been temporarily patched
and to-day she is afloat IN the rocky bed
ON which she has long rested The salvers
are now anxiously awaiting sufficiently
high tide to allow of her being towed off
the ledge.
Captain Heinecke, who was in command
of the Elder when she ran on the ledge On
the night of January 3ist, has never aban-
doned hope that the vessel would ulti-
niately be saved, and it looks now as
though his hope was about to be fulfilled,
Should no untoward event occur, it Is
thought the vessel will soon again be afoat
in deep water.
