AN lNVlNCIBLE ARGUMENT
In Favor of Children's Home for this

In Favor of IA Children's Home for this
County.
Editor Wellington Enterprises re-
ceived the following facts from friend:
Seventy years ago, young girl, Mar
garet -, was abandoned on the street
of small village Oh the upper Hudson.
She became the mother Of line Of ami
mails and paupers, and her progeny has
given an immense amount OF trOu-
BILE. Its records show POO Of her descend
ents who have been criminals. In ne
generation Of her unhappy line, there
were twenty children. OF these, three
died in infancy. OF the seventeen, nine
served in the state prison for high crime
an aggregate term of fifty years, while
the others were frequent inmates of jails,
alms-hOuses, and penitentiaries. OF the
900 descendants through six generations
from this wretcned girl, great number
have been idiots, imbeciles, dFunk0rds,
lunatics, paupers, and prostitutes, and
POO of the more vigorous have been on re-
! cord as criminals, This neglected little
child has cost county authorilits in the
effects she has transmitted, hundreds Of
thOusahdsIof dollars, in the care Of Grim
iDals and paupers, besides the untold
damage she has done property and public
morals. Who can imagine what might
have been the difference in results, if
some loving hand had been reached out
to lift up this unfortunate child, and
place her where she would have been
trained, mentally and morally"
In the face of the fact that there are
from seventy-fve to 100 children almost
equally neglected in this county to-day,
who can think a children's home is not
needed? F. C. Eldridge, Elyria.

REWARD FOR MILES.
He Will Be Made a Lieutenant Gen.
eraI if Successful

Chicago, May ia special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
Promotion to the grade of lieutenant
Miles for a successful campaign in Gu
which was revived for Gen. SchOfield
shortly before retirement, has seldom
been conferred on officer in time of
peace Measures have been pending,
however, in both houses of congress to
revive it for Gen. Miles in recognition
of his distinguished services during the
civil war and the many campaigns
against the Indians.
Since the outbreak of the war with
SPAIN the advocates in congress of the
revival of the grade have urged it very
strongly on the ground that an army of
200, 900 men actively engaged in war
should be under the command of an Of
ficer higher in rank than a major gen.
eral
Every effort that has been made to
bring the matter forward in congress
has met some opposition and the advo-
Gates of the plan have practically de-
cided to let it rest for the present, with
the understanding that the grade shall
be revived for General Miles while he is
serving at the head of the army in Gu
ba.
Gen. Miles will go to Cuba as a ma
jor general, but on the achievement of
a single victory over the Spaniards he
need not be surprised to learn that he
has received the thanks of congress and
has been promoted to be a lieutenant
general.

John Madden will be nominated as can

favor of H. S. Martin, the Democratic
candidate.
In this way complete fusion in the
Fourth district will be accomplished Mr..
Madden will take the nomination before
the convention, but when he withdraws
will ask all his supporters to throw their
strength to H. S. Martin, the Democratic
nominee in that district.
The Democrats have asked for the
Fourth district congressman, and or
more places on the state ticket, but it is
understood they will be satisfied with con-
gressman. Mr.. Maddens action will make
fusion certain in the campaign this year.

REGULARS FOR MERRITT.
He is to Have 5000 for the Philip.
pines.

New York, May ia special to the
Times from Washington says:
The attention of Adjutant General
Corbin has been called to a dispatch
from New York stating that General
Merritt refused to go the Philippines
with less than 5000 regulars, and that
he said he would not leave with a lot of
recruits only. THAT can't be true" said
the adjutant general, General Merritt
never said he refused to go where his
orders carried him. He is not that sort
OF a man. However, you may say that
the department is now arranging to
give Gen. Merritt the regulars he wants
Before he sails for Manila he will have
a strong force of seasoned soldiers to
take with him."
General Corbin declined to say where
the regiment to accompany the Manila
expedition will come from, but as prac-
tlcally the entire regular army, with the
exception of a few companies, scattered
through the Indian country which il
would be unwise to withdraw from
there, is modified at Tampa, it is con-
s1dered certain that some of the troops
now at the Florida port will be sent
across the continent to San Francisco
for General Merritt's command.
