ration. CRYING for redress Some may ques-
tion whether the direct influence on Its
neIghborhood OF a settlement may not De az
a glass Of pure water thrown into the turbid
Thames and leave as little impress, but all
must admit that the settlement affords an
unequalled opportunity to get at facts first
hand.
Life is here met and studied without the
handicars which come from wealth and
culture, position and ambition. Indefinite
knowledge is definite ignorance. The settle
ment stands then secondly for definite
knowledge upon which to base needed re-
form. Wo all know something is
wrong with our social fabric
Hero conditions can be studied
before attempting to apply remedies; knowl-
edge Of the tenemens and the laws govern
Ing them, how they are carried out, and
what new ones are needed; what the Board
OF Health is doing and what it ought to do;
the conditions OF the school; relations between
labor and capital from the labor side; wages
and wants, etc, ad infnitum. Watson Glider
claims frankly that the testimony of real
value before the tenement house commission
was furnished by settlement workers, and
this was because they knew what they were
talking about through personal experience
Indeed. 1t is not too much to claim, II
the promise of the present be fulfilled in the
future, herein lies the most definite hope
Tor the success OF that grand movement to-
ward social reconstruction, in the midst Of
which we live.
And lastly, the settlement ministers to the
need Of the rich to get away from self, and
Of the poor to find expression of self.
The worker in the settlement finds how
narrow is our so-caled culture, and that
the only true culture Is to look at life
through the different eyes Of all sorts and
conditions Of men. AS Miss Adams of Hull
house wisely urges: ITO shut ones self
away from that half of the race life is to
shut ones self away from the most vital
part Of II; 1t is to live out but half the hu-
manity which we have been born heir to,
and to use but half our faculties"
The settlement is not charity, but a step
| toward social reform. The movement is not
based on the patronage Of the rich, but 1t
| does claim the rich who desire a share in
| bringing about that new social order, THAT
order where the labor Of the world being
more equally distributed may be changed for
every man into healthful work"

ST JAMES ORPHANAGE.

One Of the greatest needs of Omaha prior
to 1879 was a home for orphans, and it was
to supply this need that the Sisters OF Mercy
opened the st. James Orphanage at st. Mary's
convent Bishop OConnor built home for
them in 1881. In 1888 the orphans were
transferred to the new convent aI Fifteenth
and CASTELAR, streets, where they remained
until 1891, when the building at Benson now
occupied was opened for use. The institutions
of Omaha are not as a rule well equipped,
but the Orphanage is an exception to the
rule 1t is a brick building with stone fac
ings, three stories high, well arranged and
fitted for its purpose, with a capacity for
caring for 400. 1t is heated by steam and
cost $50, ,OOO There 100 waits of various
sizes and ages, from babies to those In their
teens find a home. Mother Michael with
fourteen sisters, is in charge, and the chill
dren have all the comforts and advantages
possible in such a home. The Orphanage is
non-sec. arian, so far as admission is con-
cerned--to be an orphan is the only passport.

In 1878 Mrs. Slaughter, for years matron
Of the Home for the Friendless, organized a
branch of the Womens Christian Temper
ham theater was used as headquarters and
from that the union took its name. Very
earnest and enthusiastic have been the wo-
men of this society and much good has been
accomplished by their labors Up to year
ago there were five unions in the city; all
but one were then consolidated as the Omaha
Womens Christian Temperance union. The
Watson B. Smith union is located on Walnut
Hill For some time the Womans Christian
Temperance union has been devoting itself to
preventive and educational work. Its pres
ent activities comprise coffee room at Cass
and Eleventh streets, share in the work at
the Twelfth street Rest" the management
of automatic drinking fountains, lectures,
mothers meetings, Demorest contests, etc.
1t is aggressively, uncompromisngly opposed
to evil in all forms, and as such is power
full influence in the city.

The next general philanthropic organiza-
tion in the city was that of the Women s
Christian association, which dates from 1883
and has been actively engaged in the work
of helping women and children ever since.
The Burt Street Home for Old Ladies and
the adjoining cottage where children may be
cared for are two Of its most important
branches of work, while down town the board
ing home for young women has long been a
prominent feature A temporary lodging
house is one of the most practical things
under its charge and has been of untold
blessing to many out Of work and out of
money. Last year the association took up
the work of the Travellers Aid, but owing to
the hard times was obliged to suspend it.
At present about twelve old ladies and sew
era children have permanent homes at the
Burt street home and as many more find
temporary shelter at the lodging house on
Douglas street.

CITY MISSIONS.

The oldest existing charitable organization
in Omaha is the City Mission, whose two
decades of existence make 1t comparatively
venerable. Started in a small way as a
monday prayer meeting, 1t has gone steadily
forward, doing untold good in a quiet, un-
ostentatious manner. Its first institution
was the sewing school, still carried on in
the rooms of the Tenth Street Mission,
where many a girl has learned the use Of
needle under the instruction Of some Of
Omahas best known women, and today the
neat appearance OF many a woman and her
family is due to the skill there acquired.
Two years ago a mothers meeting was
opened under the direction of Mrs. Jardine,
whose life has been devoted to the uplifting
of humanity in such practical ways. Last
winter a laundry was started for the pur-
pose of furnishing employment to needy
women.

HOME FOR THE AGED.

The Nebraska Home for the Aged was
incorporated in 1891, and has at present seven
inmates, one man and six women, from 60 to
81 years Of age. Mrs. f. NJ. Covel of this
city is president of the association. Any
aged person may, by the payment Of $500,
be cared for during the remainder of his life
but far as possible all applicants are re-
ceved. The widow of Chief Justice CAN'T
OF the Nebraska supreme court died there
not long ago. AS for all other charitable or
ganizations in the city here is much need OF
better support for this institution to enable
1t to carry on it's work.

SOUTH TWELFTH STREET REST AND

Last fall the Young Women's Christian as

branch monday rest in the wholesale district,
and a house was fitted up at 513 South
Twelfth street. This has been very success

meetings, and much city missionary work In
the vicinity is done in the interests OF this
work, in addition to the MONDAY rest

The year 1898 is noteworthy as the date of
organization Of several philanthropic associ-
ations in Omaha. The Young Women's Chris
tian association is undoubtedly the most i'm
portant, as it is certainly the most truly
philanthropic. 1t is simply an association of
many for the common good, and it fills a
place which no other society does 1t has
monday rest, and pleasant rooms in The Bee
building, in which entertainments and recep-
tions are held, and where classes in various
branches meet nightly during the winter.
With its membership OF more than 600 it is
the largest woman's society in the city. Its
various committees are actively engaged in
carrying on the work in different lines, from
devotional meetings to physical culture, from
care Of the sick to finding employment and
boarding places for the we'll. Mrs. George
Tilden is the president, Miss Mamie Taylor
general secretary. This association is not
charitable organization; it is absolutely
unsectarian, and its spirit Is that of the
common sisterhood Of women.

THE CRECFIE.

The need Of a creche or day nursery had
long been apparent when in the fall of 1887
the Omaha Charity association was organized
and steps taken to erect a building fer this
purpose. This was finished and opened in
February, 1889, and is familiar to everybody,
located as it is just opposite the new public
library. 1t has been a wonderful help to the
poor women OF the city who were unwilling
to part from their children, yet could not re-
main at home all day 1t is also a boarding
house for motherless children. About twenty
five little ones are cared for every day.

the Sisters OF St Monica, an order Of widows,
and although the w0ttshas been necessarily
limited, much good has been done, especially
in the line OF preventive work, TO which
especial attention hHa been given Owing to
the departure Of the sisters next month, this
work is TO be suspended for a few months.

CONVENT OF THki GOOD SHEPHERD.

In the fall OF 1893, Nother Raphael, wltrl
four sisters OF the Good Shepherd came to
Omaha to establish y home for the reclama-
tien Of fallen women. Owing to the gen.
erosity Of Mr.. John Rush they were given
the use Of a commodious building, which
will accommodate rs women and girls, and
which already shelters co. The inmates are
instructed in various ines and no effort is
spared to lead them into the paths Of right
living. Since the opening OF these institutions
the need has been SO clearly demonstrated
that they cannot fail OF support.

To devote an issue Of The Bee to the in
terests Of Omaha women and omit therefrom
the record Of their philanthropic and chari-
table work would be like leaving Miss OFFER
rail- out Of "Trilby." Just when, in the pro-
gress Of the ages. the fence was built be-
tween women and men, with philanthropy
on the one side and. politics on the otbsr, no
one knows. It is, however. an almost iron
clad rule that church work is in the hands
OF the sisters and the management thereof
in the stronger, II more clumsy hands of the
brothers. To visit the sick and to care for
the widow and the fatherless is naturally the
woman's part but in this brief summary we
cnnnot even glance at what might be
termed the lioness' share Of the work done
by and through the various church organiza-
tions of the city
