COLLEGE WORK.
a Transplanted English Experiment
in Social Development.

Denver, May 22.-Miss Helena S. Dud-
ley, the head worker of DeniSon house,
Boston, one of the three college settle
ments existing in the United States, has
arrived in Denver, where she will spend
her vacation. Miss Dudley is exceed
ingly reticent about herself personally,
but it is she who opened up the depart
ment of chemistry and biology in the
great Packer institute in Brooklyn, N.
Y, and it was she who lived for over a
year in the district of the negroes and
Polish Jews in Philadelphia.
Miss Dudley related the chief features
of the settlement work in her expert
ence of four years at Denison house in
substance as follows:
I'VE bring employers and employees
together once a fortnight. when social
science conferences are held single tax
and other kindred topics being discuss

reason it all out his own way with en-
Uttered feeling, but hears his employ

mutual satisfaction, at least more lib
eral than it otherwise could have been
If they had not come together.
We have mothers meetings, friendly
visiting, and social afternoons for the
women, whom we try to bring out of
their narrOWnesS of views and sur
roundings, but the younger generations
are the especial objects of our attention
We teach them to look proudly and
hOnorably upon labor, and then to seek
to excel in some branch of it, so that
they may become disappearing and
intelligent fathers, wives and mothers.
Upon the kindergarten we depend
more than upon anything else for the
future uplifting of this class of people
We mold the child and the man and
woman grows in that mold
I'VE have six weeks summer school
of three hours a day duration every va
cation. That leaves a short vaca ton

which they are not taught in the winter

HUMANITY AND NEED.
Jane Adams on "The Relation of
Churches to the Poor"

Chicago, May PA meeting organized
by the Englewood district committee of
the Bureau of Associated Charities was
held in the Normal Park Presbyterian
church, Sixty-ninth street and Yale ave-
nue., last night. Neither creed nor dogma
was advanced and broad humanity and
aid of those in need were advanced.
Jane Adams of Hull House was the
principal speaker of the evening. Her
topic was The Relation of Churches to
the Poor" Miss Adams advocated the
bringing together of well-to-do people
and those who were not so we'll blessed

City Council of Akron Considering a

Akron. May 22.-The city council is
considering a unique ordinance, which
was presented by the local branch Of
the Ohio Liquor league. 1t prohibits
boys under 81 and girls under Is from
entering saloons except on legitimate
business and also applies in the same
manner to habitual drunkards.
Liquor dealers say that they do not
want the trade of these persons, but
are often deceived, especially in the
matter of the age of the young men.

BRADSTREET'S
New York, May 22.-Bradstreet's says
The slight improvement in trade is
in the tendency of business to increase
at few points in the northwest on
the Pacific coast and south Atlantic
and Gulf states.
There is increased buying at Balti-
more, Atlanta, Birmingham and New
Orleans where trade has revived on the
announcement that northern Louisiana,
Mississippi and the flooded districts are
being placed under cultivation and that
the damage done is less than expected.
There are increased sales at MilWau-
kee, Omaha, Chicago and st. Louis, and
exports of general merchandise and
lumber from San Francisco have in
creased.
Advices from California are that lack
of seasOnable rains and long dry per
fods have injured the wheat and fruit
Larger eastern centers report the move
ment of merchandise slow and trade
dull The seaon is so far advanced
that no general rain is looked for till
after fall buying sets in.
The usual industrial disturbances
have marked building and other indus
tries, notably clothing, mining, iron
and steel. Manufacturers of wOolens
are well stocked with raw material. but
owing to slowness of orders prices are
easier Makers OF cotton goods are at
a disadvantage, owing to the relatively
high price Of cotton and increase in the
production of products. There is no
gain in demand for iron and steel. prices
for which continue low. The report
that the steel rail- wire and billet max
ers are trying to form a pool to advance
prices, is not confirmed.

LOANSAREINCREASING

New York, May 22.-R.G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says:
UnmistakabIe evidence of improve
ment comes in the general increase Of
commercial loans, mostly for eastern
merchants or companies, though some
well known houses of the middle west
appear with considerable rediscounts
from the south.
The distinct change gives proof that
the new business has been larger than
many have supposed. Receipts Of mon
ey from the interior exceed shipments
81 500, OOO mostly from the middle west.
Exports of gold have no influence and
only signify the willingness of Russia
to pay a price for the gold needed.
The iron industry has quite an in
crease in new business, though not in
all branches. Part was due to the rup-
ture of the steel beams pool and the fall
in price from 1.55 to 1.25 nOminally
quoted and some good structural con-
tracts were at once secured. Part is
due to a better demand for plates and
for pipe, of which one large contract
for Indiana fields was placed, and part
to growing needs for cars and vessels.
There is also some increase in rods
though the season for wire and nails
IS nearing an end, because of an un-
expected pool of rod mills. Low south

spite of large arrivals. though lead was

Coke is also a shade lower.
Sales of wool decrease, though still

bic demand for months ahead having

DIDN'T LIKE THE WAGES.
Dissatisfied LabOrers started an I'm
supported story.

There was rumor yesterday of trouble
among the laborers at the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western wharves. 1t was said
that a cut in wages had been ordered and
the greater part of the laborers had quit
work.
Agent Harris OF the Plant system was
seen about the matter. He said he had
been working a full force of men all day,
and there was no trouble. He explained
the origin of the rumor as he suspected It,
Some twenty-five or thirty inexperienced
dock laborers we're at the wharves early
in the morning and wanted work. It Is
no unusual thing for men to be around
hunting Jobs; nearly every day finds a
number of them on hand They were told
Yesterday that they could so TO work at
81 rs a day. The best hands get $780, but
these were inexperienced, Mr.. Harris said
They refused 10 work for the wages Of
fered and left the wharves. This, Mr.
Harris said, was probably the way the
rumor started.
