built at Atlanta, Ga, and now there are
twenty-elght scattered through seven
teen different States. In these homes,
negro girls are thoroughly educated and
trained to be home makers, housekeepers
and missionaries among their w people.
Mrs. Wells related some of the things
done by the graduates of these institu-
tions, who had gone back to their homes,
founded Sunday Schools and preached
the Gospel to their less fortunate bro
theirs and sisters. She touched on the
necessity of training women especially,
for missionary work. She said that they
should be trained particularly IN Bible
teaching, the care of the sick room, how
best to offer aid and consolation to the
dying.
THE FRONTIER CLERGY.
Next, she took up the frontier clergy
and urged the necessity of sending more
supplies to these posts, as many OF the
ministers out there are without decent
clothes to their backs or proper food on
their tables. She related some instances
of The lack of comforts that have come
under her own observation, showing
that the ministers on the frontier are in
a pretty bad way. She touched on the
work of Miss Budy in the Italian quarter
of New York, and dwelr at some length
upon the thirteen missionary homes that
are located In the largest cities Of the
country. She then spoke of the United
States as a country; OF it's varied climate.
aed it's adaptability TO all classes OF
foreigners. She reviewed ''the evils
which threaten the country
through Mormonism, Remanism,
Anarcb1sm and Socialism. and in closing
she explained that the society is a wom-
ans society, managed by women, and
that men could have no hand in IL. except
to sustain it by their contributions.

Among the Poor-CitY
and Frontier.

The conference Of the Women's Home
Missionary Society was held at Hedding
Church at 3:15 P. M. Mrs. w. e. Drake,
President of the society. presided, and
opened the meeting with a brief state
ment of the objects of the society, calling
especial attention to the city mission
work done by it. She introduced DR..
Muller, secretary of the Home Missio nary
Society, who spoke Of the work dom in
Newark by the women. He said that a
year ago, he called upon the ladies TO aid
him in his city missionary work, and
that three ladies answered his call.
These visit the POOR attend the sick.
and administer to the wants ofthe dying,
giving them spiritual advice as well as
material Eaid. They also distribute
seven hundred garments aud countless
shoes. besides making eight hundred
visits within the past year. The other
ladies, the Speaker continued, who have
done excellent work In this field are Mrs.
Clover. who has made six hundred visits,
and Mrs. Darne1, whose work is in the
tannery districts of Newark. Mrs. OAR

work in this district, which is the tough

TO FIGHT CATHOLICISM.
Mr.. Darby, of Washington, D. c., was
the next speaker. His speech was linn
tied to five minutes. no preparation hav-
ing been made for him as it was not
known that he was ia town until a few
minutes before he was introduced to the
audience. He also spoke of the city mis-
sionary work and dwelt especially on the
power which the Catholic Church has
gained in all big cities. He said that the
only way to diminish this power was to
enlarge the hospital work and the
worK of the d~eaconesses among the
poor, ind that. in order to do this, train
ing schools must be established where the
ladies' may be instructed 10 every kind of
work among the sick and the poor. Such
an institution is being established In
Washington, and he urged the necessity
OF founding them in other parts OF the
country. Ia closing, he said that in order
to be successful in city missionary work
all work should be done without regard
TO denomination.

THE %SUgeUIBNT SIIAD.
A Cordial Wei ms Awaits Its Annual
Arrival in the Delaware

A Cordial WeIc ONE Awaits Its Annual
Arrival in the Delaware.
The s%uccuient shad, whose annual pill
grlmage up the Delaware Will soon COM
nience, are to be accorded. says the True
Amcricdil, a particularly taking" re-
ceptiou Lhis year, unless all signs fail.
At the hundreds OF fishing landings along
both shores from the capes To far above
this city the "gillers" have erected their
net racks, while the hunks in the cabins
at each sheltered cove where shore nets
are still drawn, have been made up anew,
and all is in readiness except the inny
skirmish line OF the shad army itself.
The number of shad fishermen Is iu-
creasing largely with each successive
season, SO That while perhaps more shad
are caught in the aggregate, the business
is not so profitable as 1t once was. The
efforts OF, the Government to keep up the
supply of these fish by putting millions
of the young into the Delaware annually.
have undoubtedly prevented the extinc-
zion OF the species, since it is claimed that
the shad always returns to the spawn in
the stream where it was Matched.
While the bay fishermen will probably
dip the nets az soon as a few warm days
shall have tempered the waters slightly,
their river brethren-at least those above
brackish water--wjn await more favora-
BILE circumstances. A noteworthy peca-
llarity OF the shad's pp-river migration is
the fact that the fish Will not come above
the salt or brackish water until all the
snow water has left the river. The melt
ed snow seems never to reach the temper
ature of the ordinary river water, and
rather than swim in it the shad l1nger
on the warmer bay.
To The uniEitiated the big net at Glou-
cester seems to be he chief source or
supply. but a trip on any part OF the
Delaware at night. a few weeks hence,
would rapidly disclose the fact that an
army of lesser fishermen are nightly at
WORK. Hundreds of twinkling lights
float along on the dark surface OF the
river, showing that the gill METERS are
busily at work. These are the men who
catch most of the shad, since their num-
bers ale legion; and night and day, at all
stages of the tide. their entapgling mesh
es are in the water. Years ago,
the river banks a~bounded with
beautiful stretches of gravel shore.
which afforded excellent sites
for the draw Of the nets.
Gradually, however, these spots have
been used for the building of wharves, or
in some way rendered useless to the
fishermen, and now comparatively rev
shore nets remain in the Delaware. The
OILERS, with their easily handled portable
nets, have constantly Increased in num-
bers, and now they almost monopolize
the business. This is regarded favor
ably, since the gill net does not take any
thing but The. larger shad, while the
shore net drags to the beach everything
within its sWsep, mi thousands of young
shad are annually destroyed in this way,
being sometimes sold among the herring.
The fishing win soon begin in earnest, to
end on June Is, and then only because
the sharp-eyed wardens nave a disagree
able habit Of taking any nets they may
find in the water.
