THE HUNGRY FED.
Charity of the Sisters of
St. Mary.
Nearly Three Hundred Men Are
Daily Given Their Breakfasts
at the Hospital.

About 300 men are daily given their
breakfasts by the sisters of st. Mary'S
Hospital An early visitor to the hosp-
tai will find scores Of men leaning against
the wooden railing near the staircase. As
the front stairway Is more closely ap-
preached a double line of hungry men can
be seen and when the front area is reached
the full number becomes apparent
The front Of the column of those asking
charity is made up of old men. There are
about forty of them, who form a solid
phalanx, closing the ranks against any in
truder with the impotence bred of hunger,
Between this bearded gateway and the
kitchen there is an industrial hustle. for
about a dozen fortunate pauDers are given
three meals and place to sleep In return
for doing the chores about the institution
IL is a part of their work to hand out the
breakfasts to the remnants of an industrial
army which has applied for charity.
Two hundred and eighty pints of coffee
were served out yesterday morning and
one hundred and forty pounds Of bread.
Breakfast was passed by walters tbrou
a shattered aperture from the kitchen.
The crowd was composed of men of all
ages from IS to 20, and of nearly every Ia.
tionality under the sun. The majority
were fairly well dressed and seemed to be
VOL kingmen, not ira mps.
Others of the party were broken down
with the debility of misspent life, and
could not work even if they had chance,
while many plainly showed by pale face
and tottering imb that their sun had set
even at MONDAY. The lame, the halt, the
weak and the semi-blInd here had sug-
gestive representation. They were hungry
and were fed for divine charity's sake.
Half an hour after the first tin of coffee
passed to the first eager hand $50 men mad
had their hunger appeased ana began to
file down the stairway. While breakfast
was being supplied sister stood by to see
that things were orderly and properly
executed.

WILL BE DISMISSED.
The Finance Committee and Janitor
Hughes.

Hughes.
Janitor Barney Hughes of Judge Camp
BELLS police court is finding that it does
not take long to get out of job. BE was
before the Mayor Friday and was sus-
pended, while an interview with the
Finance Committee of the Board of Super
visors yesterday resulted In his dismissal
being recommended, and full meeting of
the board on Monday will probably end
the chapter.
When Hughes appeared before the COM
mittee he denied that he had been securing
the release of DRINKS for the purpose Of
getting their money. but admitted that be
had made use of his official position on one
or two occasions to intercede for friends,
whose release he had accomplished. and
VINO, out OF their DOundless gratitude, had
substantially rewarded him. Butthis was
regarded with jealous eye by the men,
bers of the committee, and they decided to
have a janitor whose circle OF friends
would be more limited, and who would
not be called upon to take up labor in
their behalf. after they had so INDUCED
themselves as TO be IN need OF quarters at
the prison for the night.
Chairman James had short passage at
words with A. NJ. Ebbets, who represented
the contractors who are furnishing the city
with supplies, and who are becoming fear
full that their bills will not be promptly
paid.
Ebbets' presence was the result of the
meeting of contractors at the Cham Der Of
Commerce yesterday. which had been in
formed by an expert that the city was a
hopeless bankrupt, and that until its
financial standing was improved it was
unwise to become its creditor.
Supervisor James informed the con-
tractor in no uncertain terms that all the
city's bills would be paid, aud if the mer-
chants who have contracts to furnish sup
plies are not satisfied there were other
merchants who would be guile willing to
take the risks, and the representa- tive Of
the contractors retired il badly discom-
flied condition.

CRAZED BY ILLNESS.
Mrs. Margaret Schinkei Cuts Her
Throat With a Butchers Knife.

Mrs. Margaret Schinkel. the wife of a
grocer who lives at Potrero avenue and
Twentieth street, committed suicide early
yesterday morning by cutting her throat
with carving-knlfe. 1t is supposed that
she was suffering from alteration of the
mind, caused by Illness.
Mrs. Schinkel retired with her husband
at the usual hour Friday evening. He

moments his son entered. pale and trsm-
bling with agitation. "Go liz to the Kitchen"
the young man exclaimed. land see what

In the kitchen Schinkel saw sight that
thrilled him with horror. His wife lay
dying on the floor. There was great
gash in her throat and bloody butchers
knife in her relaxing fingers. Death came
in few seconds and the body was sent to
the Morgue. Mrs. Schinkel was native of
Germang 90 years old.

Heinrich Heine. who had a particularly
nice and discriminating taste in ghosts,a

the darkly woven fancies Of German super
stition. frankly admitted that to see his
own face by moonlight in mirror thrilled
him with undefinable horror. Most of us
who are blessed, or burdened, with imag-
nations have shared at moments in this
curious fear of that smooth. shining sheet
of glass which seems to hold within itself
some power mysterious and malign. By
daytime it is common place enough and
lends itself with facle ease TO the cheerful
and homely nature of its surroundings. But

the white, lnsinuating moon beams, the
mirror assumes q distinctive and uncanny

Then IT is that our own eyes meet US with
an unnatural stare and a piercing intelli-

us from their depths with furtive, startled

something in the room, from which the
merciful dizziness Of mortality has hitherto
saved US, may at any instant take sudden
shape and be seen. not in its own form,
but reflected in the treacherous glass.

For Good Government.

Herbert Welsh in an article on anational
league for good city government says:
The following is a summary of the es-
sential suggestions set forth by the recent
conference for good city government held
at Philadelphia: The abolition of the
spoils system; the exclusion OF national
issues from city affairs, and hence the
Gripping Of the party machine; and the
creation of single municipal party. But.
of course, these results cannot be obtained
without a complete revolution In the at

Blue and Gray


The last few moments the Hartford was
under fire of the forts, batteries aud gun
boats, was the warmest work the old flag
ship had ever encountered. Every man
on her broad deck appeared to be in mo
ton, and so intent upon his particular line
of duty that scarcely word was spoken.
The carefully trained guns seemed imbued
with life as they sped In and out of the
spacious ports. The hurried run of pow
der-boys and shellmen from t he magazines
at the stairways and fire matches, with
supplies for their guns. gave an air of ap-
parent confusion on the deck. The roar
of the heavy guns was so great that it was
impossible to distinguish the tones of
human voices. Occasionally the peculiar
scream Of shot passing in close proximity
caught the attention OF the men, while
the bursting of shell and quick snap
ping crash of flying timber hummed
through the air. The cut, frayed rigging
swayed wildly TO and fro from alOft, and
the men, with faces smeared and be-
grimed with powder, toiled steadily on.

fearfully wounded. turned and writhed In
the cot used for lowering the wounded to
the surgeons quarters. He fell distance
of thirty feet and his sufferings were at an
end. Bulwarks, masts, ropes. guns and
carriages were all moro or less smeared
with blood and pieces of the human body,
over which there was no time to think,
ponder or even grow pale. Captain Dray-

quarterback, close observers of all that
was passing. and whether fighting or con-

CAN FILE AGAIN.

The local land officers have been
reversed in a decision that is likely
to cause them considerable addi-
tiona! work though adding at the
same time to the receipts of the
office, On the 25th Of June last
Samuel Weis filed an application to
amend his homestead entry, setting
forth that he was unable to find
water upon his land and could no
longer live thereon. The applica-
ton wal rejected for the reason
that it did not come within the
provisions of the law permitting
amendments. Weis took an appeal
and the honorable commissioner
of the general land Office by letter
of July 18th holds the entryman
cannot be permitted to amend, but
is at liberty to make a new home
stead entry upon payment OF the
usual fees and commissions. The
original entry is, of course, cancel
led. As other settlers are situated
much as was Weis, it is not i'm
probable that it will result in many
new filings. Aberdeen News.

DEDICATION.
81. Joseph's Church Dedicated
with Solemn and Impress
sive Ceremonies,
flnest Church in this Part of
the State-A Gala Day for
the Catholics Of Gren-
vile Township.

On Wednesday July 25th occur
red an event that will remain in the
memories of a large share of the in
habltants of Granville township, this
county. 1t was the dedication of St.
Joseph's church to the service of God.
This edihce is one hat any city
might be proud of. Mammoth in
proportion, beautiful in design and
finish and handsomely decorated, it
Is an achievement without a parallel
In this new country.
The dedicating ceremonies were
conducted by Rt. Rev. Bishop NJ.
Marty, d. d., of Sioux Falls, assist
ed during the ceremonies and on his
throne by the Very Rev. Fathers
Majer, of st. Paul and Mensing, of
Webster.
After the dedication solemn high
mass was sung by Rev. Pacholski, of
Minneapolis, celebrant; Rev. Browne,
of Milbank, deacon; Rev. Reiland, of
Aberdeen, as sub-deacon, Rev.
Weiss, of Nutley, Rev. Jayeski, of
St. Paul and Rev. Woitowicz, pastor
of St. Joseph's as master of ceremon-
les and thurifer. Sermons were de-
livered by Father Majer, in Polish
and by Dean Mensing in German.
This extensive program occupied
the whole forenoon and after a re-
cess for rest and refreshment the
days ceremonies were taken up
again at 2:3O P. m, about sixty boys
and girls received the sacrament of
confirmation, administered by Rt.
Rev. NJ. Marty, after which sermons
were delivered by the Bishop, in En-
glish, and father Jayeski in Polish.
Considering the poor health of the
Bishop, it was a special favor that he
had made a long journey in such an
unpleasat heat, as prevailed of late,
still it ought to be considered that
the Polish people, of Granville, de-
serve a great honor, for they have
accomplished so much and in spite
of limited mean and poor prospects
as to crops.
Notwithstanding the high wind
and excessive heat of the day a large
crowd was in attendance, there being
many from this city, Waubay and
other points, filling the great church
to nearly its capacity. The societies
of St. Joseph and St. Stanilaus were
also in attendance and participated
in the ceremonies.
To Dean Mensing, who is an old
friend of St. Joseph's, and who feels
an absorbing interest in that
church's future, We are much in,
debted for the foregoing.
