sending some. to Jerusalem. Smyrna. Bey-
reut, Constantin0ple and Aleppo, at which
places there are foreign orphanages ready to
receive them. Then, thanks to the "Con-
gregationalist" fund and to the Armenian
Relief" funds and German aid we have been
able to provide for a number here. In all
there will be $50. 1t seems goodlv num-
ber, doesn't it? And yet it is but touching
the edge of the villages. l never can look
at the snow. covered mountains without re-
membering the ruined villages, the despair
ing villagers who know not where to look
for food for their own children, and the lit
tie orphans who sit down in their misery
with hungry, waiting looks. waiting for
they hardly know what; but they know that
some of their playmates have been taken off
to that paradise in Marash where, as one
little fellow said, ''they actually have beds!
and clothes! and just all they want to eat.r
Always they seem waiting, waiting, until
Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Cry of the
Children" seems to burn itself into my brain: {:
do you hear the children weeping, o my broth
ers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years?
They look up with their pale and sunken faces,
And their look is dread to see,
For they mind you of their angels in high places
With eyes turned on Deity.
How long, they say how long, o cruel nation
Will you stand, to move the world on child's
heart?
Our blood splashes upward o gold heaper,
And your purple shows your path;
But the child's sob in the silence curses deeper
Than the strong man in his wrath"
o, for another Mrs. Browning to speak for
these children. And yet $25 will support
child-education included-for year. (We
hear $l2 has been spoken of as the necessa-
ry amount, but it cannot be done for that in
Marash.) Why cannot churches and @. K.
societies be urged to take up this work?
Each church in the U. S. could adopt one
orphan surely! And when they are grown
and christianized and educated in some trade
they could go back to their villages to be
the means of enlightenment to thousands of
others During the winter vacation 1t was
my privilege to make (or oversee the max
ing of hundred suits of clothes for the
children who should come down from the
mountains. Some little girls were beautie
over whom artists would rave--half dressed
shiyering children. And some were sturdy
boys with determined faces that made me
think of Tell. Most seemed dazed. as IL
fairy land had come true. Yet they live in
the most frugal manner. Can't you set
something going in your church? o, our

ROBBED A SCHOOL.
The Job Looks Like a JuVanile
Adventure.
TIE POLICE Az IN A lI'AN9AsT.
Entrance to the DUPONT School on
the kennett Pike Effected
Friday Night and SEQ
I; Worth OF Property
Stolen.

The Police Department has been work.
Ing on a robbery since Saturday morning
which In joint of carelessness and juvenile
methods outrivals any BURGLARY ever com,
mltted in or near this city. Some time
during Friday night the DUPONT school
on the kennett Pike a mile beyond the
city limits, was broken into and $50
worth OF property carried off, black boards
and books disfigured with vulgar remarks
and obscene drawings. 1t is for these
burglars, whoever they may be that the
police have thus fur searched in vain.
When the school was closed at s clock,
FRIDAY afternoon everything was i'll order,
but when the janlIor entered the building
Saturday morning he found books and
States scattered over the floor, window
sills covered with dirt, black boards bear
Ing obscene pictures and remarks too
filthy to be repeated. At first he believed
the work to be that of boys but investiga-
tion revealed the loss OF four unabridged
dictionaries money from teachers desks
after locks had been picked pocket knives,
umbrellas and pieces of wearing apparel,
he concluded that the work was done by
boys and Is of the same mind to-day. But
the police are Inclined to believe different
ly, While they admit that tho pranks
may be those of boys they cannot under
stand why boys would want to steal
dictionaries and school books.
As disposition could be made of them
only under suspicion and as no ono in
the vicinity knows of strange books, the
version OF the public department that tho
work was committed by men is given the
more credence. But with the abundance
OF testimony in the handwriting on the
boards and in the books the authorities
believe it will be but short time before
the guilty parties will be apprehended
nnd whether they prove men or boys will
have no significance as they will be p rose
cnted to the full extent OF the law.
There are six rooms in the school and
every one was visited by the thieves. In
the room of Prof. Spade the burglars ovi.
IDENTIFY spent most OF their time. rs on
every board appeared indecent pictures
and sentences Everything was topsy
tnrvy. In the rooms of Misses Lena Nc
liaughlin, Mae Hershey, Emma Hamilton
and Anna Beeeher u like condition Of af-
fairs existed. The teachers books con.
talned vulgar remarks and as conse-
quence many of them will have to be de-
stroyed, which will increase the loss to
much larger amount.
This Is the second time the school has
been robbed
