Mrs ". j. GaDtDtuits:
Dear Madam: Yours inviting me to be
present at the dedication of the Children's s
Home i'll Belfast on Friday next was duly
received. I regret being unable to attend,
as business engagements made prior to the
receipt Of your letter will prevent my being
present. l wish to congratulate the society
on their good work, and the citizens of Bel
fast should feel proud in having Home
of the kind located there. We should all
feel an interest in the work and contribute
literally for the "little ones" that are so de-
pendent on 'homes" of that kind. Again
cOngratulating you on your success and
wishing the society prosperity, am
Yours with respect,

Dear Madam:
Your favor of recent date came duly to
hand. 1 appreciate the honor conferred,
and would be very much pleased to be pres
ent, but owing to an unexpected call to New
York on important business 1 shall be- un-
able to attend the dedication. can assure
you that sincerely regret this, inasmuch as
l take deep interest in your efforts to es-
tablish Home for the little waits that so
much need an assisting hand in the battle
OF life. The vast Importance of your work
can hardly be comprehended, and its great
results only measured at the Judgment.
cannot conceive of anything that appeals to
the better nature and tender feelings of our
hearts more than the mute appeal of the
little friendless, homeless girl, buffetted and
crushed by contact with the hard, cruel
world. OF the vast numbers of these little
ones we can have but little conception.
know of no other field that offers such great
inducements to the philanthropist, or that
will show more gratifying results. The ten
der feeling, the gentle nature, with which
the Creator has endowed the female sex,
and which are essentially susceptible to cul-
tlvatiOn in the young, renders the work of
moulding and fashioning their lives work
of pleasure to those who care to watch the
unfolding Of all that is beautiful in girlhood
and womanhood. Transforming the life of
one child from an existence in squalor, suf-
fering, and perhaps crime, to a life Of useful
life from dishonor and degradation to that
of the true womanly woman that the most
honorable man would be proud to call wife,
is certainly as great a work as ever mortals
engaged in. That your efforts will be crown
ed with success l have every reason to be-
lieve. God and Heaven and the better part
of earth are with you, and will lend you
aid in your labor Of love. Pardon the length
of this commune alton and consequent en-
croachment on your valuable time. My only
excuse is the deep interest l feel in this
work. Again exp essing my sincere regret
that L cannot comply with your request and
be present at the dedication, beg to remain

the amount of 81 600, of which $1,000 has
been paid towards the purchase of the

by the State fully pays for the Home The

which leaves about $3.50 available for fur

DETROIT, June ia special to The
Free Press from Muskegon says: The
first clash between the Independent Log
Owners IA recently organized company,
and the Muskegon Booming company,
has occurred. The latter company has
hitherto done all the business of sorting
and delivering the logs which came down
the Muskegon river but the log owners
this season organized the independent
concern, claiming the old company's
charges were too high. The river enters
Muskegon lake through two channels
and the new company recently proceeded
to dredge one OF them preparatory to
floating logs thereon. John Torrent of
the ola company obtained a preliminary
injunction restraining the log owners
from dredging the channel on the ground
that it Is an artificial channel, dredged
through his con- pany's lands.
Twenty men began hurrying some 200,-
0o0 feet of logs for the e. Ii. Stafford
company through this channel with a
boomstick. but the workmen rode

boomstick. Torrent at one time made as

capital Importance. But other Demon
strations of similar sort are expected
this week at Kiel. 1t is probable that
the Russian and French fleets will
concurrently start for and depart from
Kiel and will also afterward proceed to-
gether to Copenhagen to coal Those
two movements of the fleets will be one
demonstration, but counter demonstra-
tion by the German emperor is probable.
Reports received by diplomatists say that
Emperor William will make speech ex-
pressing his pleasure at seeing all the ma
tions OF Europe his guests and especially
two such friends as France and Russia,
who have all his sympathy and whose
friend he himself wishes to be. This
speech will be the elimination of the fes-
tivities and it Is dreaded by every one.
The kaiser at the present moment is
very inimioal to England said diplo-
matist, in speaking of the matter, and
French statesmen have seriously blum
dered since 1870. They ought to have been
able to turn the public opinion Of France
against England, for England is Frances
