The report of the Pathfnders' Circle
of the United Presbyterian Church of
Wheeling was as follows:
Our Circle was organized in the year
1890 with ten members; we now have
a membership of thirty. We call our
selves "The Pathfnders' Circle" and
have taken for our motto: And what
doth the Lord require of thee, but to do
Justly. walk humbly with thy God
One of the first works of our Circle
was to assist an aged lady in the Home
for the Aged and Friendless at Alien
helm. and for whom we have since
bought necessary articles Of clothing,
which she could not otherwise have Sc
cured. In '92 we furnished a room at
the City Hospital and have since kept
the room in repair.
When DR.. Moorehead, of the Henia
Theological Seminary, was giving Bib
licaI lessons at our church, we con-
tributed towards his expenses. We
have also made a contribution to the
Home for the Aged and Friendless OF
Wheeling.
Many homes have been gladdened
by receiving baskets of food, articles
of clothing, etc, from our Circle. At
Xmas time especially, we send out quite
number of baskets of food to the poor
and fruit and flowers to the sick.
ITO the Deacon's fund of our church
we have given s25. About two years
ago we made a beautiful quilt and sent
if TO a returned missionary OF our
church who was in our church Home
in Pittsburg
For nine weeks we contributed fifty
cents week toward the support Of an
Italian at the City Hospital.
We pledge ourselves SO per month
towards the support of the King
Daughters Day Nursery. This spring

realized s154.75, which we gave to the
worthy cause.
We have never attempted any great
or grand work, but feel that helping
the poor and friendless, and giving
food to the sick and hungry, is truly
the duty Of the Daughters of the King"
and on the great day of judgment there
will be no reward so great as to be
enabled to hear from the lips of our
King and Master, these words: "Inas-
much as We did it unto the least of
these, my brethren, We have done it
unto Me" EFFIE NJ HAMMOND,
Leader.

The following is the splendid paper
read by Mrs. Robert ]. Reed on the sub
ject of tie Kings Daughters Day
Nursery:
The first thought given TO the King
Daughters Day Nursery was at the
February meeting of the city union, at
which time the chairman appointed a
committee to confer as to the advis-
ability of organizing such an institu-
ton On this tenth day of April less
than two months afterward, the Nurs-
cry was opened TO the public, and has
been a success from the very start
eighty-fve children having been admit
ted during the forty-nine days the
Nursery has been in operation. Every
where one can hear but one opinion,
and that is The Kings Daughters of
Wheeling have worked quickly, wisely
and WE'LL"
The Nursery is conducted by Board
of Managers composed of representa-
tives from each Circle in the city
union but every Kings Daughter in
Wheeling feels that she is personally
interested in, and partly responsible
for, the success of this, the first insti-
tuition in the city to be organized and
controlled by the Kings Daughters
Each Circle is pledged to give a GER
tain amount of money every month
toward the support of the Nursery.
These pledges, together with an annual
membership fee of fifty cents, (Which
many persons other than the Kings
Daughters are glad to contribute), con-
stitute our very feeble financial back
ing, but remembering always the words
of the Master, Woman, great is thy
faith. be it unto thee ever as thou wilt,
we have faith, faith with works, and
we believe that the caring for these
little ones" In His name" will be
abundantly blessed by our Lord and
King.
This work of the Kings Daughters
in behalf of children is one that appeals
most strongly to women, and it may
be for this reason that, as one of cur
Kings Daughters said, THE Day
Nursery is the one charity in Wheeling
in which everybody seems to be inter-
ested," for it is most certainly Il fact
that those charities and organizations
in which women are the more promi-
nent figures are the very ones which
are most successful from every stand
point. Witness our own wonderful or
ganization, the Kings Daughters.
The object of the Day Nursery is
evident: a place where working wo-
men or those who are i'll may leave
their children, from tiny babies up to
the age of six years during the day with
every assurance that the little ones
will be made comfortable and happy
We have been most fortunate in our
selection of matron, and many weary
and discouraged mothers have express
ed their gratitude at being able to
place their children in the care of one
so kind, gentle and capable as our good
Grandma Lawrence.
The hours for the reception Of chill
dren are from g. 80 in the morning I'M
til the same hour in the evening, and
the fee is five cents day for each child.

Earnest efforts have been made to
break up the pernicious habit of street

In all the foregoing we have been
very successful. During the past win

been given by the committee, the pro-

ninety-fye $3.50 dollars, has been ex-

direction. Asking the prayers of the
good women of the Kings Daughters
Association upon our efforts, we re-
spectfully submit this our first public
report.

Illustrative Of the splendid and far
reaching benevolent work accomplish
ed in this city during the past year by
:he Kings Daughters, the following
report from the Fourth Street and Uni
.ed Presbyterian Churches will be OF
more than ordinary interest to obsery-
ant readers:
The Whatsoever Circle of the King
Daughters of Fourth Street VI. Z.
Church organized in 1889, has a NOM
bership of seventy. They have taken
into the Circle twenty-five new mem
bers this year, four have withdrawn
and one member died. We have had
nine regular monthly meetings, thir-
teen called meetings and three enter
tainments were given during the year.
Flowers are placed by the pulpit every
Sabbath. a different member each
month attending to the sending of them
to the sick or afflicted of our conSrega-
ton. with our card and colors attached.
Many sick rooms have been brighten
ed by realizing though they are absent
from our midst they are not forgotten.
We are pledged to give $500 to the
Rescue Home and Day Nursery month
ly. The cards placed by our Circle IN
public places through the city have
enabled great many strangers to find
employment and suitable boarding
places. We have expended $3.50. Cash
on hand $40. AS l have previously
stated in our city union meeting, our
Circle is divided up into committees so
each member has choice of the work
she finds herself best equipped to do.

months:
We have visited and helped seventy
families. fifteen with clothing and furn-
iture. and eight pairs of shoes were
purchased. A bolt of Canton flannel
was purchased and partly distributed.

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY
Annual Catch in North Carolina
Now is Only About 5000
Bushels.

In letter to the Labor Com.
missioner, Mr.. Theophilus
White, Chief oyster inspector
for the State, estimates that there
are three thousand persons or
more in the State engaged in
the oyster industry. Between
5000 and 5000 bushels are
caught annually and sold at
from Is 10 SO cents a hushel.
"The supply of oysters in the
sounds and rivers of North Caro-
lima" says Mr.. White "is almost
inexhaustable, and all the in
dustry needs to make a grand
success is a market sufficient to
induce buyers 10 come to the
State. And to do that, dredg>
ing must take the place, in part,

of taking oysters. Dredging

At this time of the year a cold

have used it quite extensively
and it has always given entire
satisfaction.-Oolagah, Ind. Ter.

This is the only remedy that
is known to be a certain pre-

CROKER ON PARKHURST.
Says He Has a Vicious Tongue
and Sets Dangerous Example.

At Lakewood Richmond Crok
er paid his respects to the re
turned Dr.. Parkhurst, in a con-
versation half in the nature of a
public interview. He said:
There is not a man in New
York whose tongue is more
vicious. whose example is more
dangerous, who has scattered
more that is bad all over the
greater city. He vilihes his fe'-
low men, he who poses as a
preacher of the gospel. He
sets up the example of falsehood
to the corruption of the young
and innocent. Is this the lesson
he wishes the people to te
brought up under? Are these the
instructions he wants to give to
fellow men, to children His
attacks are not worth serious
attention, except to call attention
to the damage he is doing by
the example he is setting.
"His dabbling in politics re-
suited in more corruption of peo-
pie previously innocent than any
other thing that has happened
in this country. Pretending to
be a force working for good, he
developed into force that work
ed out in overlooking measure
evil and injury to mortality be-
yond comp1 1ehension. The peo,
pie of common sense, of good
lite, the men who love decency,
who hold truth in full respect,
and who abhor hypocrisy, are
lone with men of the Parkhurst
.ype."

fenced to be electrocuted in the
week beginning January 10th.
1898. ~
When Thorn was brought
into court i'll Long Island City
he stepped as briskly, walking
between two officers, as he had
done on the days when he was
on trial. He preserved the
same calm. imperturbable ex-
preston of countenance that he
had worn at every crisis in the
working out of his fate during
the trial, and when, as prelim-
mary to the passing of the sen
tence of death, Judge Maddox
put the customary questions to
him, he responded promptly. col
lectedly and without outward
evidence of emotion.
Thorn listened to the sem
tence without moving a muscle,
and when the judge had finished
he reclined his head slightly for
ward as it bowling to the court.
The prisoners lawyers then
handed up an affidavit applying
for an appeal. Justice Maddox
took the affidavit and will pass
on it later. Thorn has been re>
