When the municipality had provided
comfortable quarters for that great
mass of the poor dependent upon lodg-
ing-houses for shelter, it was found
that there was still one class for whom
no provision had been made-viZ., the

means OF assuring themselves Of the
care OF their children during this pc

mere are accommodations for about
100 small families. In addition to the
ordinary bed and living rooms there
are reading, smoking, recreation and
olnlng rooms. Fol the children there
are a spacious nursery and a roof gar
Den. The nursery is in charge of a
specially trained nurse, who has sever
al others under her direction. Hot and
cold water baths and specially con
structed small kitchens for the prepa-
ration OF Infants food are distributed
throughout the building. With all
these comforts and conveniences the
cost has been kept to the lowest pos
slble level. A mother with one child
pays Is cents per week; with two chill
dren, "a cents, and with three children,
SO cents. A father with one child pays
93 cents per week; with two children,
$1.19, and with three children, s1.23.
The charges for board are: For adults,
per day, breakfast, 5 cents; dinner, 8
cents, and tea, 6 cents. For children,
per week, As cents for single child, 80
cents each for two in a family, and 33
cents each for three or more in a fam
lily. Although the "home" has been
open but a few months, the difference
in appearance between the children liv-
ing there and those of the immediate
neighborhood is already apparent. An
other advantage which is not to be ig-
nored is the fact that the low charges
act as an incentive to father and moth
er to support the children and keep
them with them rather than have them
become a charge Upon public or private
charity. It is believed that the fam
lily home will soon come to have a
permanent place in the institutions of
the cities of Great Britain. There is

ARCHIBALD

The funeral Of the late Michael Walsh
took plase yesterday morning from his
late residence on Pine street. The at
tendance was very large and In the
cOrtage We're many acquaintanceS from
all parts of the valley. The remains,
which lay in the parlor of the residence,
were surrounded by floral offerings.
tokens from friends who knew and
sympathiZed with the family in their
bereavement. At 1890 o'clock the re-
mains were taken to st. Thomts' church
where a high mass of requiem was
sung by the rector, Rev. II. J. Conner
ford. After the benedictiOn Father
ComerfOrd delivered an address filled
with consolation for those who mourn
the departed, and he spoke at length
on the upright and manly character Of
the deceased His life. he said. af
forded an example that might well be
followed. He lived as an honest and
God-fearing man should live and when
death called him he was prepared to
respond. He tried in an humble way
to follow the teachings of his great and
only master; he lived at peace with
himself and with the world: he fought
the good fight and kept the faith. and
sought to merit the reward that awaits
those who are faithful unto the end.
After the services the remains We're in
tered in the Catholic cemetery. The
pail bearers were Hon. NJ. NJ. Gilroy,
Martin Cawley, Thomas Malone. Daniel
Atkinson and Michael Nealon, of this
place, and Michael Lotus, Of Carbon
dale. The floral pieces, which We're
very beautiful, We're carried by Shomas
and Daniel Pace. of Green Ridge.
The funeral of the late Mrs. James
Hughes, of Salem street, was also held
yesterday morning. At o'clock the
remains were conveyed to st. Thomas
church where a high mass of requiem
was solemnized by Rev. DR.. Lucas.
After the mass DR.. Lucas delivered
an impressive sermon in which he made
proper reference to the deep religious
feeling, uprightness and generosity Of
the deceased and cOmfOrted her sOr-
rowing relatives. The remains were
Inferred in the Catholic cemetery.
The pail bearers We're James p. kear-
ney. Peter Gildea, John McAndrew.
Michael Mcdonnell and John McDon-
nell. The funeral was very large.
The high wind that prevailed early
yesterday morning did considerable
damage here. The Madonna" stained
glass window over the sacristy in ST.
Thomas church was so badly broken
that is was necessary to take 1t out
and send 1t to New York to be repaired,
and piece was also broken out Of one
of the large windows on the sOutherly
side. The fancy iron rail running
along the apex of the roof was blown
down and broken. In other parts of
the town there We're also many evi-
dences of the frOlic Of the winds but no
serious damage was done.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE.
The Storm Floods the silk Mill-Othcr
Damages Reported.


The storm early yesterday morning
did much damage in various parts OF
the city, the worst probably being at
the new silk mill. Here the copious rain
gathered In "a basin just above the mill
and formed a large pond covering near
ly four acres. From this pond the
water flowed into the basement of the
mill and wrought much damage. ThiS
trouble had been anticipated and
large pipe had meen laid from the base
ment to the river But no one had ex-
pected such a large quantity of water
would enter the structure. so that the
pipes We're not large enough. Notwith-
standing all the water that was con-
stantly passing off, the water rose rap
idly and when discovered there was
about two feet of water in the base
ment. The fires in all the boilers We're
extinguished and great deal of incOn-
venience occasioned. As soon as possi-
bic pumps We're put In operation and at
present the water is being pumped out
AS fast as II comes in. \ large force Of
men Were also put at work building a
dam. which will prevent more water
from coming in and guard against all
future floods. a large quantity of belt
ing Ina the basement of the mill was
badly damaged
While the rain did great deal of dam
age. the downfall was productive OF
some good, for Anthra cite park, which
has defed all attempts of man to flood
It, was completely covered and there
will probably be good skating there to-
day. The basin holds the water 50 that
there will now be no trouble of Hood
ing the park. Ii was feared at first that
the race course would be damaged: 1t
Is new thought that 1t will not amount
TO much.
l. At the Keystone colliery, the trestling
was blown down across the Delaware
and Hudson tracks, but no other dam
age was done. The traffic was not de-
layed for any length of time.
The river which up to yesterday had
been but a small channel and pools. is
now very high and II few feet more
would have completely flooded all the
cellars along its course.
The present condition Is somewhat of
relief from what we have had the last
few months.

novel experience Christmas day. that of
preaching the second funeral sermon
over the same body. Some fifteen years
ago. while residing at Breeseport, N. Y.
he was called upon to officiate at the
funeral of a supposed dead man. The
obseQuies proceeded until the grave
was reached, when the coffin was opened
for a farewell look by the friends. No
sooner was this done than the corpse
sat uo. the man not having been dead
but only in a cataleptic state. He re-
covered soon. and declared that he was
conscious during all the preparations
for burial and the funerl services, but
ws unable to move. He jokingly re-
marked to Rev. Phillips that the latter
gave him good send-off." Yes. bet
ter than ] will next time" was the re-
ply. On Wednesday last the minister
was summoned to Breeseport. the man
having died in dead earnest this time
The sensation of talking to mourners
over the same coffin for the second time
is peculiar and unSual one.
