Local Trustees APP
pointed for the So
Ciety.
The Work Done the Past Year
NY the Upper Peninsula Home Asso-
ion-ChrOniciings OF Various
Metropolitan Haps.

The following gentlemen have been APP
pointed as trustees of the Upper Peninsu-
la Chidren's Home for our local towns;
Calumet, John Duncan; Lake Linden,
Charles Smith; Hancock, l.. II. Richard
son, and Houghton, James Pryor. and
as each of the towns of the Upper PENN
sula has a representative on the board
it would look as il this really were an
Upper Peninsula institution and, as such,
is entitled to the support of the residents
OF the Upper Peninsula in preference to
any outside institutions.
The Home has only been running a
year, since which time it has sheltered
twenty. one children, nine being English,
four Firms. three Swedes, two Irish, one
Pole and one German; homes have been
found for thirteen which leaves eight in
the home; the ages of the twenty-one
children receiyed ranged from weeks to
II years.
The amount received, all from volun-
tary contributions, during the year was
$3.317, the whole of which has been ex-
pended with the exception of $34.2S.
There has been considerable friction
from the fact that the State society has
sent it's collector up into the Upper Pen
insula, thus taking money that should
properly belong to the Upper Peninsula
Home. 1t Is stated that the only work
the State society ever did in the Upper
Peninsula was TO take care OF one child
from st. Ignace, While on this subject
It may be stated that the News commun
icated with DR.. Barlow. the manager OF
the home in the Lower 2, ninsula, as to
the improperly oil his sending a collector
here, and in reply received letter which
has been forwarded to Mr. Hotzhausen.
1t would look as il there were plenty of
field in the Upper Peninsula for the work
of such an institution az the Chldren's
Home and it is to be hoped therefore
that hereafter our people will give il all
their support as IT richly deserves.
