communion of the Saints
The Bishop held that the mediator
snip OF atonemcnt and the mediator
SNIP OF iptercesson are totally differ
ent from one another.
Christ alone can be considered one
mediator by atonement and IL Ia to Him
alone that we may pray In that ca
pactty. The Saints, he concluded, are
asked by devout Catholics to intercct.c
Tor us by intercession and by that alone.
This, he thought, sufficient answer
to refute entirely the claim that Catho-

The Corporation OF Phoenix Sends
Greeting
1ayor Rosson OF That City Sends Word to
Mayor RAIDER and to the Merchants
Association

Mayor RAIDER yesterday received the fol.
lowing official letter, signed by r. l.. Ros-
son, mayor Of Phoenix, and attested to by
I. A. Jobs, the recorder of that citv:
Dear Sir-On behalf of the common
council and citizens of Phoenix, permit me
to extend to you. your council and the citi-
2ens of Los Angeles, most cordial invita-
ton TO attend the Phoenix carnival festivi-
ties, projected for February 10, 20, 21 and
%, 1896. Our municipal gates are thrown
wide open and the freedom of Arizona's 3
capital is hereby extended to you all as
fully and cordially as words. our city char
ter and our hearts can offer such cour-
tesy.
Max Meyberg. chairman of the Mer-
chants association, has received from
Mayor Rosson of Phoenix the following
letter:
sit is with as much pleasure as pride
that our city council and citizens generally
have learned, through Director-General
Hatch, of your intended visit TO Phoenix
during our carnival holidays, February
10Th, Goth, 2lst and 22d.
'On behalf of our municipal government
and all our citizens, permit me to extend
to yourself and your association, as well as
TO all the good people of Los Angeles,
casion, but at any and all times when you
may see fit to honor us with your pres
ence.''
To which Mr.. Meyberg has replied as
follows:
Your letter of February 9TH, exte nding to
the citizens of Los Angeles the hospitality
of your city, has been received. Allow me,
in behalf of our merchants und citizens, to
thank you for the expression of good feel
ing toward us.
Los Angeles, the metropolis of Southern
California, feels proud of being greeted
through you by the people of Phoenix, and
to express to you through our visit to your
city will lead to a lasting one. Arizona and
California belong together. Sincere and
honorable men will succeed in stemming
the tide of selfishness of this century by
just such pleasant visits to each other, de-
void of self-interest, and purely as an ex-
preston of goodwill. This beautiful world
of ours can be made paradise by the
mipgling of men as friends, not enemies.

trouble, but after the advent of the Flor.
ence home this institution was merged into
an asylum for friendless, deserted or or
phan children.
1t is maintained by the Boys and Girls
Aid society, is incorporated, non-sectariau
and for some time has received more or
less state aid. Besides this, the Congrega-
tional and Baptist churches have, through
their sewing societies, rendered very much
appreciated service. Mrs. Watson is the
superintendent. Her main work is 10 dis
cover and pick out of the mire children
whom it is thought possible to save.
The intention is to provide a shelter and
education for children, one or both of
whose parents are perhaps living, which
would necessarily close the doors of Or
phan or founding homes against them,
though they do not intend to receive dis
eased or vicious children.
The little ones are taught to be clean and
well behaved at the homo and sent to the
San Pedro-street public school or the
kindergarten. The older girls are taught
10 cook, to sew, TO scrub, and to be gener-
ally self-respecting and self-supporting.
Whenever homes for the little ones, or
positions as house girls for the older ones
are found, the best qualified inmate is
Immediately given the place. The matron
keeps posted as to the satisfaction given,
and il there is any trouble, the girl or boy
is taken back, further trained and started
out afresh.
SHOWN THE FAMILY
$50 much for the way we get them and
what we do with them. Here is our fam.
ily," and the matron opened door into a
play room half full of towheads, black
browed MeXicans and even curly-pated
little Africans. They seemed to be having
as good time as if they hadn't been
picked up on Alameda street, ill-treated
by drunken fathers, and abandoned by
heartless mothers.
'Who is the chap with the swapping
black eyes? Where did he come from?"
CARL AND CAEMELITA
"Carl, oh, he and Carmelita, his 3.year-
old sister behind him, are of pure Spanish
blood. The father was drunken, low
down creature, and the mother an aban-
doned woman. These children were found
in room on Upper Main street, destitute
of any article of furniture, unless it were
the bundle of rags in the corner. They
were hungry, ragged and dirty. There
was an old man in the room, but Mrs.
Watson led them out bareheaded, Just as
they were, and quickly had them up bere
to the home.
Some time after the grandfather ap-
peared, wanted them back, and promised
to look after them decently. Finally they

donment cannot be made out, and it is de-
sirabe to rescue them from some filthy
hole.
"You sec, If we train and educate them
and find good home to put them in, it
isn't highly desirable that a drunken father
or mother should turn up and claim the
child at any moment.
"Sometimes very young babies are
brought, but we do not take them. In
deed, there is no provision. We either
have to keep them outside until they are
fourteen months or so old, or send them to
the hospital.
A CHARGE OF FOUR MONTHS
zone baby only four hours old was
brought by the nurse only a day or two
ago. AS a rule we do not take girls over
ID, though now and then when we find
girl whom we think can be saved from an
evil life we take and train her until we can
send her out to service. So many of them
are shiftless, dirty, and don't want to do
anything at all. We try to show them the
necessity of cleanliness and self respect,
and that there is something for them in
the world yet if they will only find it. The
main idea is to get them to be self sup
porting. We seldom take boys over S
years of age.
"Our object is more prevention than
cure Several of our bast and prettiest
children have been adopted into the homes
OF the wealthy here in Southern California.
THE PAY INMATES
"There are few children whose par
ents, or rather whose mothers, pay small
sum for their maintenance, though the
highest charge we ever make is s6 a
month.
"The homo has been so far go little
known that we have not probably received
all the aid we might have had. The pastor
of the Baptist church, though he has been
for long time working and calling in this
negnborhood, only learned of our exist
ence q short time ago, and then it was
through one Of the teachers at the kinder
garten.
I'VE have one very good FRIEND" said
the matron. "He is the man who brings
us all his unsaleable fruit Very often the
apples are as sound ss can be, with only a
little speck on one side, and the oranges
and other fruit, wish you could just see
them; and he's not a rich man, either.
There are not many people who would be
| taking all that trouble, and he buying all
his fruit from different orchards and not
raising it at ALL"
For long while the home was only a
small cottage, but recently the one story
was raised and another built under, until
now it is really quito convenient A matron
and a cook are the only employees, the older
girls helping with the sweeping, scrubbipg
and making of beds
TIE GOOD DONE
If it is true that an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure, it Is homes of this
character that do the greatest amount of
actual coed in the world. To drag these
worse than fatherless and motheress little
creatures out of the gutter is n work to en-
list the sympathy and gain the encourage
ment of everyone, for it may happen that
offspring of misfortune and vice as they
are, nurtured in purer atmosphere and
| under better conditions, they may mature
| into healthy, happy human beings.

Out on Twenty-third and Glowner street
is childrens home that few people know
about and fewer still have ever visited. In
deed it requires considerable searching of
telephone books and directories, not to
mention the cross-questioniug of divers
corner grocerymen, to find it at all. The
house stands modestly back from the road,
and but for two little maids who them
selves wanted to find the place, it is mat

Once inside, however, the appearance of
"the family having just moved ont" is
quickly dispelled by the shufiting of little

missed by Johnny Mcfarland getting him

permitting himself to be taken while the
other looked on.

Romy has father and mother, though

recent experience with a couple of coIored
children, I have almost decided that |
would prefer to draw the line. We took a

very often women deserted by their hus-

is dead and the father is sent to prison.
