The Need of woman,s MANAGEMENT.


The need of women in the management
of public homes and charities is empha-
sized by horrible disclosure Just made
by the ceroner's investigation of the San
Francisco Founding asylum, where 33 ba-
bies have died within the last six weeks.
The place has been closed. The coroner de-
clared that the 33 children died from lack
of nutrition and from inanition and penn
phigus. The nurses and attendants occu-
pied the sunny rooms up stairs, and kept
the infants in dark, damp apartments. Be-
fore the coroner it was proved that the
dead babies had been kept on the premises
four days. The official undertaken of the
institution testified that when the children
died the attendant put their bodies in a box
under the doorsteps and kept them there
until he came to take them away. He had
found three bodies cast out indiscriminate-
ly into the box at one time. He removed
them without notifying the people at the
asylum.
These facts are given by the newspapers
without comment. But they ought to
arouse women all over the country to their
political duties. We venture the opinion
that there is not single public charity
hospital or asylum from the management
of which women are excluded that is not
suffering more or less for want of women 8
participation in its government. With
women as superintendents such fragrant
abuses as the above would be simply i'm

A Remarkable Cure.

One of the most remarkable cures ever
known in Maine occurred not long ago in
Portland. Three or four years ago lady
in that city was afflicted with what was
supposed to be sciatic rheumatism. She
lost the use of one foot and ankle, then of
the arm on that side. Instead of growing
better the disease continually increased un-
til the whole Of one side of her body was
practically helpless. The doctors were not
agreed, some calling it rheumatism, others
paralysis, fall received a few years before
being by several supposed to be the cause.
But all treatment was unavailing. The
disease, whatever it was, continued it's slow
but dreadful progress until the lady was
entirely helpless, unable to move hand or
foot.
1t was at this time that the miracle oc-
CURED. One day during the temporary
absence of her attendant in another room,
the invalid slipped from her chair, and be-
ing unable to support herself any fell to the
floor. The family were much frightened,
but were reassured on finding that no seri-
GUS harm had been done, but the wonder
came day or two later when the helpless
invalid began to astonish her friends by
moving her hands and doing things she had
been unable to accomplish for months. The
recovery was as steady but much more
rapid than the decline, until now she is
fully restored 20 her old time health and
skill. Whether the fall Jared from the
brain clot of blood that was holding her
in prison or what the cause. it is evident
that the fall was what freed her from her
inirmities. Journal

1HE ELEc1RIe HEGRsE
Changing Goags and Breakneek Speed IN
Route to the CametArx


Route to the Cemetery.
The San Francisco and San Mateo Elec-
tric Railway company has put on funeral
car and proposes 10 carry the dead from
any point along its line to any Of the four
cemeteries for $40, or 81 less than the South
ern Pacific rates.
The funeral ear created q sensation along
the entire route, the first patrons Of the
new venture being the Knights Of Pythias.
No. 80, the new electric hearse, was side
tracked at the corner Of Fifth and Harrison
streets a few minutes before noon. The
preliminary trip from the carhouse TO this
place attracted great deal Of attention.
At the corner of Fifth and Harrison
streets IL took only a few minutes TO col
lect large crowd Of Sunday sightseers, and
by the time the undertaker's hearse arrived
bearing the remains of Napoleon Bons-
parte Lazard, the deceased Pythian, fully
800 or 900 men, women and children blocked
the street. They surged curiously around
car No. 50 as It stood there waiting for its
silent passenger. When the hearse was
driven up, the crowd drew back re-
spectfully and left little lane for It's pas
sage up to the big sliding door in the side
of the car. The six pallbearers who 40
companied the hearse quickly lifted up the
coffin containing the body and slid 1t gently
in through the open door.
Then, with uncovered heads, they climbed
in after 1t and closed the funereal draped
door. The conductor rang the bell twice,
the motorman changed his gong with
noise that seemed somehow strangely out
of place, turned on the electric current, and
the dead man started on his last journey.
Meanwhile the mourners, members of the
Pythian order, had arrived in carriages fol-
lowing the hearse. They boarded an ordi-
nary electric car that was also in waiting,
and a moment later the crowd drew back
at the sound of the gong and the car fol-
lowed No. 80 and it's lifeless burden.
1t was hard to realize that the two cars
rolling rapidly along the street lined with
gaping spectators were funeral train-the
shouts of the children along the route, the
sharp changing Of the gongs, and partic-
ularly the speed Of the two cars, were so
totally dissimilar to the accustomed SOL
emnity of such parades, People hurried to
the windows of the houses along the line,
and few even waved handkerchiefs, as If
it were a gala occasion of some sort. At
Thirtieth street a short stop was made to
wait for returning car to pass, and in a
minute another curious throng was push
ing and jostling around the funeral car
with the morbid eagerness that crowd al
ways possesses to get glimpse of coffin.
After leaving Thirtieth street the line gets
out into the open country, and with the dis
appearance of the crowds of spectators the
changing of the gong ceased. Still the
speed with which the two cars rolled along
toward the cemeteries gave an undefnable
sensation that there was something out of
place.-San Francisco Chronicle.

he was known to be little sensitive. One

The minister answered solemnly:
"To tell the truth, my friend, the acct
dent was caused by my poking my nose
into other peoples business. - Boston
