Reform School for Bows.
superintendent Shallenberger of the bows
reform school made today one of pleasant
memories for the 225 boys in his charge
despite the fact that the diminutive bliz-
zard made outdoor sport impossible. This
afternoon the boys ate q dinner in which
the biggest and latest of turkeys and ali
the accompanying good things OCCUPIED
prominent parts, which will be followed
TINS evening by supper of tea cakes
fruits and other NICE tempting deIicacies
When not engaged in disposing of the edi-
bies today the boys INDUCED in chess.
checkers, backgammon and other indoor
games study and work being dispensed
with. Had the weather not been so I'M
| favorable, the boys would have been treat
ed to stereoptfcon show, but this will be
given at some more favorable time But
one boy was reported sick today and he
is expected to be able to eat his Thanks
giving dinner tomorrow.
At Various Local institutions
Despite the fact. as the good sisters ex-
planned, that their friends had not remem-
bered them so well this year, the seventy
little ones in St. Vincents Female Orphan
Asylum, 10th and G streets, observed
Thanksgiving day by eating at dinner many
good things obtainable. including. of course,
turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pies and
every other usual delicacy. There is a small
er number of children at the asylum at this
time than for several years, due to the
fact that the sisters in charge have been
fortunate in obtaining good homes for many
OF their little charges. The ages of the
children run from six to eleven years.
The l26 girls and boys at the Washington
City Orphan Asylum, 18th and S streets
sat down to table this afternoon
| fairly groaned with the weight of those
good things which delight Juvenile appe-
titles. At O'Clock the children will listen
to story which will be told them by Miss
Mabel ThurSton, and the remainder of the
day will be spent in games.
Warden Harris does not believe that the
inmates of the District Jail should be pro-
vided with turkey and other Thanksgiving
delicacies at government expense, and those
of his charges. whose friends failed to come
to their rescue partook today of the ordi-
nary Jail rations. Friends of the prisoners,
however were permitted to provide them
with such delicacies the Jail physician
thought proper, and most of the inmates
were so remembered. At the morning roll
call 325 prisoners answered. OF these there
were 81 white males and white females,
and 242 colored males and 30 colored fe-
males.
Intendent Stoutenburgh of the Washing
ton Asylum this morning had AGO inmates
to care for. OF these 227 were prisoners in
the work house, pa were inmates of the
poor house, and 10 were patients in the hos
pital. Mr.. Stoutenburgh observed the day
by providing his charges with dinner of
turkey and roast pork, and many of them
were remembered by friends. who brought
them baskets of delicacies.
