SHELTER AND FOOD DEPOT
10 BE Established by the Salvation
ARMY.

10 lie Established by the Salvation
Army,
Captain Mckenzie of the Salvation Army
VIII commence tomorrow his canvass for
the establishment in this city of shelter
and food depot.
The main object of this project" said
Captain Mckenzie to reporter for The
Pest yesterday is TO provide o plan for
securing employment for the unemployed.
There are lot of people who are willing
TO work II they are but offered an oppor-
tunity.
We propose 10 rent a building some
where In the outskirts with plenty OF yard
room for the establishment OF wood yard
We viii provide there comfortable sleep
ing apartments, Il dining department and
a repository for receiving all the second
hand clothing that may be contributed as
part of the maintenance of the institu-
ton. There viii be a we'll appointed bath
room and our plan is to give bath bed
and breakfast to the deserving unemployed
all for the small sum of Is cents, and if
those who apply have not the 10 cents
they can partake OF these accommodations
and give us the equivalent value of the 10
cents by work in the wood yard. In this
way We expect TO get our wood cut into
stove wood. when we will sell it and in
ms way provide a means OF sustenance
for the institution.
No one Will be entertained for nothing.
as we do not propose in this way to en-
courage idieness, ami no one Will
be permitted TO loiter about the place. All
who are not able to pay but are able TO
work vii! be made TO work. We do not
propose running hospital for manned,
sick or wounded, nor an asylum for Grip
nled beggars unless they are able to work.
Our primary object is to furnish employ
ment and cheap shelter and board for
the deserving unemployed. We want 10
encourage industry rather than idleness
and all who come to us will either earn or
pay for what they eat.
There are eighty-nine institutions of
this sort now prospecting in the United
States, and Houston is quite large and i'm
portent enough to inaugurate such an in
stltution, which when once started can
be made self-sustaining
OF course, to start it we will have TO
ask for contributions, either in kind or
money. We Will likely inaugurate ticket
system by which those who contribute Will
be supplied with a lot of tickets. which
they may use when solicited for aims by
that character of people of whose inpo.-
tuning we hope to relieve the public"

Ride ON n strange Horse.

Had yesterday been day Of contest for
galiantry and good work among members

Officers Lee and Keegans would have

their efforts that young girl, whose name

might have been a horrible DEATH or, at
least, dangerous injury.
a crowd OF boys and girls were playing
yesterday afternoon along Chartres street,
near the school house, when dare was
given one Of the larger girls to mount aud
ride saddle horse tied in front OF Bow
mans meat market. In frolicsome spirit
the girl in question accepted the PROPOSE
ton and, With, the assistance of one Of her
friends landed safely In the saddle Then
came the ride. The animal started in a
brisk trot toward Congress avenue, in
cressiDg his gait as he turned toward Main
street. The avenue was clear, the weather
crisp enough to give the animal spirit
Headed down town he ran at FULL speed
with the girl hanging ON for dear lie,
crying at the top OF her voice for some one
to catch the runaway horse Her cries
only seemed to accelerate the animal S
movement. and he dashed across IaBranch
street at frightful rate. Mounted Off
GERS Lee and keegans were on their way
to ride through the Second ward when
they heard the cries, and, putting spurs
To their mounts, began a race after the
runaway.
Cow ponies or horses. which they rode,
had been trained by continuous service and
without much urging sounded clatter on
