CAMPBELL IS RETICENT.

Saturday.

Saturday.
Frank Campbell who was found uncon-
scious in the hallway of 430 Wabasha street
shortly before midnight Saturday evening,
was yesterday so far recovered from his in
juries to be able to be up and about his
home, 525 Marion street. Campbell refused to
see a reporter for the G o b last evening,
but his wife stated that he had declined
to make any explanation to her as to how he
came by his wounds, though he had intimated
that he had been slugged. To his eight-year-
old son Campbell stated he had been struck
with a slungshot and spoke Of having rough
ly handled his assailant Mrs. Campbell is
of the opinion that her husband was injured
in fight.
Inquiry at the block yesterday elicitated
information from Mrs. G. A. Rysdale, the
landiady, which would seem to show that
Campbell simply fell down stairs while under
the influence of liquor. Mrs. Rysdale says
that she saw him in the third floor hallway
and noticed that he was very much under
the influence of liquor A moment later she
heard him fall she says, and going to the
staircase, saw him lying unconscious on the
floor. She then called the police. who re-
moved Campbell to his home. According to
Mrs. Rysdale, Mrs. Campbell had been visit
ing Mrs. MacNamara, who has rooms on
the third floor of the building, Saturday night
and expected her husband to call for her.
When it grew late and he failed to come, the
wife left it is said, and Campbell came look
ing for her later, and, not finding her, fell
while going out of the building.

through some responsible agency. many are
the children of unmarried mothers who dare
not keep living testimony of their shame.
These are all average children, and are well
enough fitted for average homes.
The speaker then described the vari-
Gus methods favored by the different
states, and the change in public opinion
in regard to institutions for children.
The marked change in favor of placing
out homeless children in families as
soon as possible instead of bringing
them up in orphan. asylums, he as
cribed to three causes. The general ten
dency of the times toward freedom. 1t
was not in accordance with the spirit
of liberty to have the subjects Of char
ity in aSylums under the necessary deS-
potism Of institution life. Another rea-
son was that family life is so much bet
ter than it formerly was There were
times when few families were really fit
places for homeless children, and when
'dt Wasoa mercy to such a child to pro-
otect him in an asylum from the igno-
ifance, the brutality and the vice of the
average family life. But today family
affe was safer than institution life. An
other reason was the financial reason.
When a child is once placed out in
good home he ceases to be an expense,
whereas to bring up child in an asy-
lGm means to keep him at the expense
at least five years on an average be-
fore he is able to earn his own living
outside. This meant that it costs at least
ten times as much to bring up child
in an asylum as it does to place him in
good family and see that he is we'll
taken care of. If ten times as much is
spent on one homeless child as is nee
eSSary, the result is that nine other
homeless children must be left out in
the cold. This argument is irresistible,
and most orphan asylums are now plac-
ing out children much faster than for
merly and many of the best orphan
asylums have become virtually placing
out societies with temporary homes.
The most hopeful charity was that
which cares for homeless children. One
dollar spent in preventing child be-
coming a criminal, pauper or tramp
was worth a dozen dollars spent in try
ing to reform an adult criminal, tramp,
or pauper. And the true method to save
a child was to put him in good home.
The Lone Woman Traveller.
A recent issue of Fashions" an IL
1ustrated monthly journal for women,
has an interesting article on women
travelling alone, in which, after re-
ferring to the block signal system, and
other safety devices for which the New
York Central is celebrated, this state
ment is made:
'If the lone woman happens to be
going to New York city, she need have
no dread Of landing alone in the con-
fusion of a big strange place, if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one Of the
red-capped attendants-free service.
who will carry her bag, answer her
questions and show her to cab, car or
elevated train.
Another thing, she lands right in the
heart of the city, within step of
dozen or more Of it's leading hotels
and she should bear In mind that
this is the only railroad depot in all
New York city.
The New York Central might aptly
be called the lone woman's route"

Capabilities of Carrier Pigeons.

Two interesting questions present
themselves concerning the length of
time during which the pigeon can rec
ollect tho place OF his home and the
distance from which he is able to find
his way back to it. Some birds have
found their way home after five years.

that good birds can be depended upon
for six months.
When pigeons were &c be sent back
and forth, it has been usual to keep
two sets, with their respective homes
ct either end of the course; and when
they have reached their home, to carry
them back to the places from which
they are to dispatched. They become
intno course OF time familiar with their
new home and its choice dishes. When
set at liberty they start of at once for
Paris, without forgetting the good
things they enjoyed at st. Denis.
When they are to be sent back, they
are made to fast little while, aud are
then let loose at about feeding time at
st. Denis. They go thither. and.
when they have their own way, time
their going so as to be there at the
exact moment OF feeding. Birds have
thus been taught to fly back and forth
regularly between places thirty miles
apart.

Dust Test for Firearms

One little known process to which
small arms manufactured for the
United States arc subjected is the
dust test, intended to subject the
piece to the same busting it would
receive if carried by the soldier in a
march across the alkali deserts Of
Arizona or Utah, or the sage brush
prairies of Montana or Wyoming.
Troops are frequently compelled to
tramp for hours through such clouds
of dust that the heads of the lead
er5 of a six-mule team can be but
vaguely seen from the wagon, and
the dust is SO fine and penetrating
that the soldiers guns and every
garment soon become coated with it.
The artificial production of SINH
lar experience for an arm that might
be adopted for military service Is
manifestly a very pertinent tlial.
This is accomplished By pacing the
rifle on shelf within closed box.
so that the breach mechanism.
which is closed. shall be opposite the
mouth of the bellows; fine sand Is
then permitted to fall slowly across

is then removed and wiped carefully
with the bare hand, also blown into
and cleaned. just as a soldier who
suddenly goes into action woult do

Widows Of Revolutionary Soldiers.

Seven women are still drawing pen
sions as the widows OF men who saw
active service in the war of the Revo
luton; women whose husbands served
under Washington moro than 100
years ago.
The eldest of these surviving widows
OF the Revelation is living at Los
Angeles, Cal. She is Mrs. Lovey
Adrich, nov in the ninety eighth
year of her age. Her husband was
Private Caleb Aldrich, who was born
in the year 1863. and served as a SOL
dier boy in the New England cam
palgns of the war. Mrs. Nancy Jones,
of Jonesborough, Tenn, whose bus
band was Darling Jones. a private in
one of the North Carolina regiments,
IS the youngest of the Revolutionary
widows. being now about eighty.three
years of age. The other five are Nancy

and is the widow of Sergeant William
Cloud, of Captain Christians Virginia

vate Noah Damon, OF Massachusetts

Elk Mills, Tenn, and whose frst hus-
bond was Robert Glascock. ffer in
one OF the Virginia regiments, and
Rebecca Mayo, living at Newbern,
Va, widow of. Stephen Mayo. SOL
der from Virginia.
That these women can be the
widows of Revolutionary soldiers is
readily understood in view of the fact
that their husbands were we'll on in
years when they married. As. for ex-
lmple,- when Esther Sumner married
Noah Damon in the year 1S35-fifty-
40 years after the close of the war
he was but twentY-one, while he was
ieventy-six.
The last Revolutionary widow pen.
Toner who had married prior to the
lose of the war. and had therefore

Daniel F. Brakeman. She died about
wenty-seren years ago. only year or
