band of assistants, goes without saying.
but she and her helpers are thoroughly
imbued with the idea that theirs is
work among phi lanthropies, and they
feel amply repaid by the results that
are to be seen all around them. The
most important phase of the work IN the
school is that. which represents the
children of different classes working
harmoniously together. This has only
been accomplished by several years of
patient labor and much hard work on
the part of the principal and her ener-
getic assistants. But the result, the
spectacle of children belonging to the
sturdy, Woodworking, thrifty class
working side by side with those belong

very we'll worth working for. Then the

This is the general idea Of the school,
so now for some of the work specifically.
There are classes almost without num-
ber in plain sewing. That is, the chill

thimble and to run straight lines. They
are taken along and initiated by de-
grees into the mysteries of the art until
they are able to work always under the

Oh an elaborate scale. The tickets are
now being sold: p:ice 10 cents and the
event will take place on the evenings or

1t is to be hoped that sufficient money
will be raised from this entertainment to
extend the work in several of the de-
partments, notably the physical culture
and designing classes, which are just
now in need of money to enlarge on
their work.
A branch of the work which has not
yet been mentioned is the manual train
ing for boys, and with which G. E.
Flitner, of the city schools, has been
prominently identified for several years.
This does for certain class of boys
what they otherwise would not have
done for them. as many of them are
boys who do not have school advant-
ages, much less manual training.
Thus the good work goes on even to
two more of these schools, which will
be mentioned at another time.

The children in this school are taught
to do all kinds of plain sewing. partic-
ular attention being given to the max
ing of garments. The teachers cut the
garments to fit the children, and then
by showing and directing them it is
wonderful at what an early age they
know how to make some of their own
plain clothes. The garments include
skirts, aprons and other things made
out of washable goods, and when fin
ished they are disposed of to the chill
dren for whom they we're made for the
trifing amount of or 10 cents, or just
a sufficient consideration to make the
children feel that the garments were
not given to them. In cases of extreme

not observed. and if in great need Of

about twelve ladies who devote every

nized. and in 1s45 he was sent to the
Pennsylvania legislature. The BOOM
ing times which preceded the
crash Of '57 attracted him
to the West. and 1855 found
him resident sof st. Paul. His first
business here was in banking. and his
banking Office was in the Irvine block
at the Seven corners. When the fnan-
cial crash of '57 came and the effort
was made to relieve the pressure by
passing the famous five-million loan
bill, measure proposing to loan the
railroad companies the credit of the
state to the extent of S5,00o,00 he was
one of the few to see the mistake which
was being made. He fought the meas
ure bitterly but unayailingly. He was
not a man to be swayed by others, but,
once forming his opinion as to what
was right, nothing could swerve him
from what he regarded as his duty.
Though his fight against the fiye-million
loan bill was made almost single-haAded
he lived to see the sentiment that he
was right become absolutely unanimous
when the final day of reckoning came,
and the debt was paid after having once
been repudiated. The winter of 1861
he served in the legislature, retiring
from his banking business the same
year.
After two years service in the army
as commissary, he began his great life
work, which was the construction of a
railroad from St. Paul to Duluth. The
great idea which he was constantly urg-
ing was the rail connection between the
Great lakes and the great river,
and as illustrating that point he
Incorporated the company as the
Lake Superior & Mississippi railroad.
No terminal points were named, and it
was not until years after the completion
of the road and his retirement there
from that it was styled the st. Paul 81
Duluth. 1t was through his efforts that
a bonus of S25OOO was received from
the city, and it was through
his efforts that land grant
was secured at Washington and
the money raised for the construction
of the road. He was for many years
the president of that road. and since his
retirement from that position, some ten
or twelve years ago, he has not been in
active business. He had large property
interests in Duluth, the advance upon
which gave him fair competency for
life.
Strange as it may now appear. he met
with bitter opposition from some of the
citizens of st. Paul in his efforts to
build a road to the lake. This opposi-
tion was acIuated by counter business
interests, but to man less able and
persistent than Mr.. Banning it would
have proven fatal.
Though he had been an ardent Re-
publican, in 1872 he was supporter of
Horace Greeley, and headed the Demo
cratic ticket as candidate for governor.

and of which Miss Emery is principal,
is perhaps the one IN the city which
reaches out, and extends its work to

is easily accounted for by the fact that
in that parish there are more people
who have money to devote to charitable
and philanthrophic work, and also by the
size of the field which DR.. Smith has
undertaken to work. Miss Emery, who

SEYMOUR, Ind. Nov. 26.-As the re-

miles east of this city. Four years ago
Clinton Jordan, then twenty-one years

Last week they separated. and she re-

last night Jordan met his father-in-law
and accompanied him home, contrary to
the wishes of the latter, who feared
trouble. Jordan promised to behave,
but soon after his arrival at Fosters
home he began quarrel. Foster then
ordered him out of the house, when
Jordan fired at the old man, but missed
him, the ball striking Miss Cora Foster,
aged seventeen, in the head, killing her
instantly.

The knife with which the murderer's

Mrs. Jordan was only eighteen years
old. Jordan had an unsavory reputa'

"When we have accomplished for the
children of our poor what the work of
the Industrial schools aim to do we will
have solved in no small degree the
problem of caring for the poor without
pauperiZing them" This statement,
made by a worker on philanthropic
lines at conference of the workers in
associated charities recently held in our
midst means more perhaps than appears
on the surface, and strikes at the root
OF many social evils.
What is doing in this city along these
lines? Many do not know; many, n lever

not inquired. The work Is proceeding,
however, by bands of brave men and
women. and such picture as has
been seen by a representative of
the GLOBE on two successive
Saturday afternoons is good deal of
revelation. To take these children off
the streets on Saturday, when they are
out OF school (for many of them do at
tend the public schools), would in itself
be great blessing for the children, but
to take them in and give them some
thing to do. further, to teach them to do
the things for which when they grow
older they will thank the good women

young men drove up to the house of
Henry Stittgen, a farmer, in the town

point of a revolver, robbed him of
dollar, all he had. AS they drove away
he fired at them with a shotgun, and
they returned the fire. No one was
hurt, and he followed them to the city,
where they abandoned the horse. They
were soon located and arrested in bed
at the hotel. On them were found re-
volvers and knife stolen Thursday
night at New London. They confesse d
both crimes and gave their names as
Albert and Will Mas, sons of Post

claim this is their first offense. They
say they were held up and robbed of
