THE HOME ron RAaIEs.
An Institution That is Doing Much Good--
Some of Its Needs.

Twenty happy, rosy children are at
present inmates of st. Michael's Home
for Babies, No. 207 Washington street,
with two sick babies in the infirmary.
The value of this institution can hardly
be overestimated, providing as it does
for the care of young children, whose
mothers are obliged to earn their own
living. The charges for board are moder-
ate, and in return the children receive
the best attention, good wholesome food,
constant oversight, and the best OF
medical treatment and nursing, when
sick.
While the aim Of the home is to aid
self.supporting mothers, those who are
destitute are not turned away. One
particularly sad case is that Of three
boys, all brothers, for whom clothing is
greatly needed. Any donations would
be thankfully received. Other things
much wanted are crib sheets and pillow
cases, long sheets and pillow cases, two
clothes baskets, bedroom towels, four
iron cribs, four iron bedsteads, mat
tresses, spade for garden, six bedroom
chairs, children's nightgowns and dona-
tions of fruit and food.

THE CoMMoNWEALERs.


A Letter in yindication of Their Princi-
pies and the Ends They Aim to Accom-
plish.
Editor Gazette and journal; As one we'll
acquainted with individuals in Coxey's
Army of the Commonweal, i wish to
express my regret that you had not made
yourself more familiar with the principles
of individual life and united action of this
band of earnest men before allowing in
your columns the notice in Fridays issue.
As to events which took place in Phila-
DELPHI You necessarily were dependent
upon reports gathered from other sources,
and without personal acquaintance or
question you permitted the appearance of
report, the spirit of which can be and is
contradicted by investigation. Facts are
so easily coloTed by the addition or omis-
sion of word or phrase here and there,
and the impression left upon the mind of
the reader of your report taken from the
Times was decidedly prejudicial to
worthy cause as we'll as an enthusiastic
sympathizer,
Have you permitted yourself to become
acquainted with the principles of these
Apostles of Good Roads,? They advocate
that by securing the services of the great
army of the unemployed all over our vast
republic, paying them moderate but living
wages for the building up of substantial
roads everywhere, our government can
pun SlISNtdtlbli biiC iOtuSd Ndpttal W.
revivify business from Maine to Florida,
from California to the Atlantic coast
thus overcoming tho rapidly increasing
spirit of discomfort and restlessness and
avertng the war of classes which now
seems so imminent. Therefore is their
mission one of peace.
Our daughter symbolized Peace for
them in Philadelphia. She marched with
those few earnest men about l6 squares, to
cheer them and place before the public
tangible embodiment of their grand aim,
and that 1OdS all.
1t was an act, it seems to me, worthy of
the highest commentator. Who among
the daughters of your readers would
identify herself with the hungry and
dusty mot "dirty'D Commonwealth for
the sake of humanity?
The honor of all thinking, reasoning
minds who love truth and right more
than popularity, is and will ever be &C
corded to her.
Christ, who went about teaching and
speaking in parallels and permitting his
followers to receive supplies, said Blessed
are we when men shall revile you and per-
secute you, and shall say all manner Of
evil against you falsely for my sake"
"lnasmuch as We have done it unto one
of the least of these, my brethren, We have
done it unto me.

Ladies in their attempts to battle old
Time are bound to receive some wounds in
the encounter. These, however. they can
conceal, as far as the complexion is CON-
cerned, by a timely and regular resort to
the use Of "Glenn's sulphur Soap" With
out obstructing the pores, or in any way
injuring the health OF the skin, it removes
from the surface pimples redness and the
various disfgurements caused by increas-
ing age or exposure to the sun. Beware Of
counterfeits. Sold by all druggists. Time
touches the hair as well as the complexion.
But the ungallant old fellow can be deied
here, too with Hills instantaneous Hair
Dye which renews the tint of youth on
the grizzled brow of age. 1t is the cheap
est and safest dye In use.

MAKING SNOW NAILS.

Wilmington During the Hot Meather.

Wilmington During the Hot Weather.
There are two establishments in this
city where genuine snow balls are made
out of pulverized ice and sold to the
irrepressible small boy at pecuniary
consideration of one cent per ball.
During the past few months the estab.
lishments making these luxurles have
been reaping quite harvest.
1t is no uncommon thing nowadays,
when the Thermometer is climbing up
toward the century mark, to see group
of urchins gathered on the street corner
in the western part Of the city having q
saow ball war all to themselves. While
Inc average citizen mops the perspira-
Dion from his fevered brow and COM
plains of the suffocating weather, the
small boy in his high glee. With an
armfull of snow balls ut one cent apiece
he belabors his comrades whenever he
gets an opportunity and some times the
police arc called upon to interfere with
his snow balling. But as general rule
no one cares to interfere with the enter
prlsing youth and his snow -balling in
the midst of summer is no longer u
novelty.
