FOR MAYNARD GIRLS.
New Charity Under Auspices of the
Order of st. Mary.

New Charity Under Auspices of the
Order of st. Mary.
Washington will doubtless have a new
institution In q short while for the benefit
of erring girls and their babes and for girls
who are being reared among vicious or un-
propitious surroundings.
The project for such haven of mercy
has been outlined by the members of the
Order of st. Mary of the Episcopal Church.
The House of Mercy is conducted nder the
auspices of the same order.
1t is proposed to provide home for babes
of maynard girls until they are three years
of age. At the expiration of that time the
readoption of the child by the mother is
optional with the latter. The mother may
remain at the home short while and is
ever under the sympatbzing and ennobiing
influence of the ladies in charge.
Young girls of from eight TO eighteen
years, who have notwanderedfrom virtues
path, but whose surroundings have ten
dency toward evil, will also be taken into
the home.
Mrs. Samuel Donelson of No. 1TO6 NJ
street northwest has been delegated TO
receive subscriptions for the enterprise.

SAVED BY THE KING.
Story OF a Mutiny on an American
Trading Schooner.


san Francisco. Jan. 24.-Particuars of
the mutiny off the Andrew Islands on board
the American trading schooner Maria, Capt
Brown, have just been received in this
city. Capt. Brown, Mate Hermann Hohl
mann and a passenger were murdered in
cold blood by the crew and Mrs. Brown
and her son nearly killed by blows from
an ak.
After killing the captain, mate, and the
passenger late at night the schooner was
headed for the Andrew Islands and Mrs.
Brown and her boy were kept close pris
ouers, 1t being the intention of the mu-
tineers to put them ashore on an isolated
coral reef near Andrew Island.
Before the island was reached the Chi
Dese cooks, native sailors and boatswain
got to fighting among themselves and
knives We're drawn. Two half-breeds were
killed Instantly and another died of
wounds received. All the mutinecrs were
more or less wounded.
Provisions gave out, and when cruising
off the Andrew Islands the schooner was
ma ned solely by the boatswain, two Chi
nese and a half-breed.
The schooner was steered into port and
the king Of The islands gave the murderers
food enough to last them several weeks.
Before the vessel sailed again, however,
the king became suspicious, boarded the
craft, rescued Mrs. Brown and her boy,
the former more dead tina alive, andtook
the mutineers prisoners.
The Spanish gunboat Valesci put In at
Andrew Islands and took the murderers to
Manila for trial.

he represents would be willing to furnish
Hyattsville, a. a corporation, with water;
and If willing. at what rate per 900 gal

FORCE NOT ENLARGED.

1t is believed the collection OF mail from
houses could be made without the enlarge
ment of the carrier forces. Another
feature favoring this system is said to be
Its safety. for not only is matter deposited
In a safe place. but is dropped within the
doors of the houses.
The renewal of the test by Postmaster
General Wilson does not give it as yet to
Washington, but it is expected as soon as
the officials further demonstrate its prac-
ticability it will be extended to all free
delivery cities.
At present the arrangement Is confined
to the following cities: Portland, Me-;
st. Adams, Vt; Boston, Mass Buffalo and
Syracuse, y. Y; East Orange, n. J.; Spring
field, Mass; Allegheny, Pa; Wheeling,
W. Va; Atlanta, Ca; Charleston, W. Va;
Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Mich; Indian
apolis, Ind; Joliet, H.; Minneapolis, Mimi;
New Orleans, La; Richmond, Va; st. Louis,
Mo-; st. Paul, Mimi; San Francisco, Cal;
Springfield, ILL.,; Tacoma, WASH; Toledo,
Ohio, and Vicksburg, Miss.
One point brought out in the order Is
that househ olders are required to pur-
chase their own boxes and another is
that only boxes recommended by the De-
partment will be collected from. 1t is
not proposed to abolish the street boxes,
but to gradually introduce the new de-
vice until it will be generally adopted. One
of the boxes recommended is made 10 be
placed in the walls of houses and st is be-
lieved before many years builders Will
recognize the merit of the system and
the mail box will be a necessary part
of the structure.

Postmaster General Wilson yesterday is
sued an order reviving the tests OF the house
toulouse collection OF mails.
The idea, which originated with Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker, received several
practical tests and was being tried in sew
erai cities, when change in administration
brought to the Postofficc Department Mr..
Bissell, who, in May, / 1913, issued an order
abolishing the arrangement. During Mr..
Wanamaker's administration the Depart
ment gave notice TO inv cntors to send de-
vices for house-tO house collection, and in
response over 200 inventions were SUBJ
mittcd for inspection. These consisted of
all sorts and kinds calculated to aid the peo-
pie OF the United States in mailing their
letters.
The inventions were referred to COM
mission consisting OF J. b. Harlow, post
master at st. Louis, as chairman; c. Van
Colt, postmaster at New York; Henry Sher-
wood, postmaster at Washington; Thomas
n. Hart, postmaster at Boston, and Super
Dtendcnt of Delivery James E. Bell OF
this city. Out of the 200 received the
committee recommended six devices as
worthy Of a test.
THE TEST MADE HERE.
Washington and st. Louis were the
cities selected for the scene of operations
and months effort given to a practical
demonstration of the plan. The device
receiving the greatest attention was for a
door slot, with wiDd and water tight
automatic covering. 1t was attached to
the inside of n door, and through slot
the carrier delivered the mail. The occu-
pant of the house could deposit his mail
from the inside, ard an automatic signal
rose on the outside 10 tell the collector
that the box contained something for him.
Sowell was the system received tina house
holdersi In general praised it, and Postmaster
General Wilson in his order OF yesterday
concludes with the following: Practical
tests were thorough and satisfactory"
In defense of the new system the Post
office Department claims tina t this collection
OF mail from house doors could be performed
without loss OF time to the carrier, and hence
without expense to the Department IL the
time consumed by carriers waiting for per-
sons TO come to doors could be gained by
the use OF the collection and deliverybox.
Tine test in this city was made among
several residences on New York avenue
and occupied one month. The Department
claims that one hour ca ch day was saved to
the carriers. In st. Louis, where the test
was made severe, il was found no time had
been lost.
