State Public School for Dependent and
Neglected Children.
10 THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:
We desire to call your attention to
the State Pus..o School for Neglected
and Dependent Children at Sparta,
Wis., and urge your assistance in find
ing homes for children sent to that
institution.
There are many people who would
like to adopt or receive on indenture
such children but do not know how
to proceed and III fact many do not
know that snch an institution exists.
The school is intended simply rs a
clearing house. The children sent
there through misfortune or neglect
are kept only long enough to find suit
able homes for them to enter. They
may be adopted or they may be in
dentured until they are q years Of
age, after a reasonable trial. should it
appear that the conditions are favor
able TO the best interest OF both child
and family.
There are now about $50 children
to be placed in desirable homes to en-
ter. Among them are 70 boys from
three to eigt yaers OF age, who ore e
specially desirable for adoption.
Any person desiring to take a child
on trial should communicate with the
superintendent Of the State Public
School at Sparta, Wis, who will send
an agent TO the person applying or
or will furnish any desired information
concerning the children, rules, ,etc.
Any assistance you can grant in
this great work Of charity viii be APP
preciated by
Yours sincerely,
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL.

Philadelphia, Dec. PA sensation
was created in this city Thursday By
the announcement Of the suspension of
the Chestnut Street national bank, re-
garded as one of the strongest financial
institutions in the city. The suspension
carried with it the closing of the Chest
nut Street Trust d Savings Fund com
pany, doing business under the state
banking laws. William NJ Singerly,
publisher of the Philadelphia Record,
is president of both companies, and the
same men. with one exception, act as
officers and directors. The first infor-
nation the public received that the
banks were in trouble was in the form
of a notice posted on the door of the
building occupied jointly by the two
concerns, signed by National Bank Ex-
aminer William NJ. Hart, 10 the effect
that the Chestnut Street national bank
had closed its doors pending an investi-
cation of its affairs.
No Figures Available.
No statement of assets and liabilities
is available, but it is stated that the de-
posits of the Chest nut Street bank
amounted to S1,700,00O. and of the
Trust company S1,300,000. President
Singerly gave out brief statement, in
which he said: I'VE are working to Sc
cure the Indebtedness of the two banks
so that they can go into voluntary
liquidation. and thus avoid receiver
ship" In this connection Deputy
Comptroller of the Treasury George NJ.

adeiphia men of great financial ability.

The Baptist Sunday school had a
Christmas tree for their young people
on Christmas eve. The tree was
prettily immed and bore its usual
load The entertainment consisted of
recitations furnished by the different
classes, singing by a choir of young
voices, and guitar and mandolin
duet. The rousing Christmas chorus
es were well rendered and showed
careful preparation. At the close OF
the exercises Santa Claus appeared
with flowing white hair and beard,
wrapped in rich fur and iingiing his
bells and playing his pranks. The
distribution Of presents followed, and
the happiness beaming from the child
ren's faces was reflected in the faces
Of The elders watching them.

represented at the Masonic Semi-Cen-

was reasonable to expect a reduction
in insurance rates when our water
works system was completed but. in
stead, rates have been raised on some

nized in more reasonable rates on

Some people have an idea they
can save a few cents by sending away
for goods. Perhaps they can Jay up a
few pennies for awhile by that method
of trading, but they will be losers IN The
end. Live and let live is as true as the

chants don't keep up your town, they
don't put cent into it, they have no
interest in it; they are only after your
coin. The sensible person will tie to

1t can be truth fully said Of the whole
province Of MatanZ;.s that it resembles
nothing SO much as . great ash heap.
And the same is true Of the three other
western provinces, says the Review of
Reviews. But there was Il radius Of
five miles around the city Of Matan-
Zas that had not been destroyed in
january. This has been pointed out
as the zone Of cultivation, where some
day, some remote manaua, the land
would be allotted to the pacificos, and

property, and even the growing crops,

tary governor. The last time stood
on the summit of Montserrat there were
three great fires burning to the right
and to the left of me, and before me.
Everything was Oh fire except the sea,
which cannot be made to burn, even
by royal decree. And for a week Matan-
zas, usually so bright and clear, was as
smoky and sooty as birmingham.
Here in MatanZas, as elsewhere at
every station Of RECOMMENDATION, no.
ticed that the people are without any
organization whatever and they seem
to lee lacking absolutely in the Anglo
Saxon faculty Of combination, by which
they might possibly make their wants
and their grievances heard. They have
10 committees and no selectmen. Each
family starves alone. Not but that
they are very kindly and charitable
the one to the other. They are help
full TO one another to q surprising de-
gree, but they do not organize for self
preservation and do not seem to I'M
dcrstaud the suggestion when it is made

tho suiIerin&ss and the misery they had
undergone and the prospect of impcnd-

FAVORABLE TO HEALTH.
Athletic SPORTS IEdElged In to Rca-
scnabIc Extent.

Athletic SEcrts 1EdE ged In to n Rca.
scnabIc Extent.
Many of the athletic sports, if pur-
sued for sport or as a recreation, are
valuable remedial helps and aid to-
ward physical improvement, says the
North American Review. Unfortunate
ly, the spirit of emulation in athletics,
which in some communities has grown
into intense rivalry, is likely to lead 70
excuses in training and practice for
contests, which unless checked and
brought down to a rational basis may
do more harm than good, Many young
,nen seem to think that because the
practice of athletics is favorable to
health the more they can get Of this
practice the better. This is an err
-oneeus impression for it is as possible
to overwork in athletics as it is in bust
ness and great many young people do
themselves injury by their excessive
zeal in the practice of competitive ex-
crcise.
En- this line of physical activity, as in
any other, there is limit to human
capability and it is possible to develop
the muscular and nervous systems to
the detriment of the heart and lungs
or Of the digestive system. But the con-
ditions under which athletics are usual
" practiced are SO favorable to the
maintenance of health and vigor that
few persons who were sound at the time
Of commencing their athletic efforts
have injured themselves by the prac-
tice Of these vigorous exercises. 1t is
true that certain number of young
men who were distinguished for their
supremacy in certain athletic events
have died young, But the number of
young men who are now practicing
athletic exercises in this country and
appearing in public contests is very
large, as many as 600 or 700 entries be-
ing recorded in some Of the great city
meetings. ... ~

THE RECORD OF '97

So far the year 1897 has wit
messed an eventful series of cir
cumstances. One looking abroad
at present beholds an interesting
state of affairs. Most terrible of
all is the famine in India in which
five millions of people have starv-
ed to death and there is pros
pect of the number of deaths
reaching the enormous sum of
ten millions.
In Europe we have the specta-
Gle of actual war between Greeks
and Turks, which promises to in
volve all Europe. At our own
doors we see the desolating war
in Cuba, and in our own country
there are floods and cyclones
which have resulted in much loss
of life and rendered 10000 people
homeless. Meanwhile let us pray
for peace and serve whom we can.
