 Nashville, Tenn, March 23 1898. We quote the following from a letter written by Rev. J. w. Turner, Ph. D., pas tor of the First Methodist Episcopal church, Evansville, Ind: GOT. Eastman has been connected with the Childrens Home society in our district for some time past, and I know him to be worthy of any trust.
 Respectfully yours, J. w. TURNER We close this communication by setting forth the objects of this society: (a) To exalt the family home divine institution-the sacred rights of mother hood, and the natural rights of every child to be brought up well and fitted for Ameri- can citizenship.

Keen WeIl Informed

This was read to the Pastors union of Birmingham, and they voted to cooperate with him in founding the Industrial School" and his other work. By their re- quest, and Governor Johpson's, he appeared before the Commercial club and they ap- pointed committee to look up site and otherwise assist him. The school will be under the management of seven trustees, who will incorporate the society and hold all property of the Limited States Chill dren's Home Society," and cooperate with the board of superintendents, which is now composed of three, the subject of this sketch being the senior in rank.

JOHN WATERS
DOLL PARTY.
To Be a MidWinter Carnival
For the Young Men.
An Absolute Novelty in Enter
tainment Proposed.
KING CASINO RULES.
All Guests in Fancy Dress, and
KING CASINO RULES
All Guests in Fancy Dress, and
a Vaudeville Show
In Imitation of Eastern Con-
cert Halls May Be Given.

With proper ceremony and great ec1at
the Hot FoOts, the "Hagenbachs" and
others viii be invited by Mr.. John Wa
ters to smoke the pipe of peace and to
bury the Ratchet at the doll party to
be given by him early in December.
The party will be the greatest novelty
of the age. Nothing has ever been at
tempted that can be compared to it.
1t will be held in WethereIl's haIl in the
Masonic building. All those who attend
must be dressed as male or female dolls
and must each carry a doll of some
description. The pipe of peace will
be huge variety of the Kansas meer-
,schaum style and will be in the lobby,
it is rumored, and that instead of a
pass word to use in gaining admission
each one must at least hit the pipe
for one good cloud of smoke. He must
say ugh! uni" and "gud." Then the
whole party will form in grand process
sion and bury the Ratchet with due cere-
mony and with the burying there will
be music by the entire congregation.
1t has been limited that the hall will
be made to represent concert hall with
myriads OF small tables and that an
amateur vaudeville performance will be
given on a stage. The whole affair is
to be thoroughly Bohemian and those
present will have good time while
the performance is going on. Talking
and smoking will be permitted through
out the entire performance and the
Spectators Will De " JOIN All
the chorus whenever "a Hot Time" or
"Get Your Moneys WORTH is played
by the orchestra.
There will be stringent rules as to the
manner of dress and of treating the
performers. 1t will be against the rules
for anyone in the audience to throw
chairs or lemonade mugs at the per-
formers.
king Casino will be the presiding
genius of this midwinter carnival and
his orders go"
The dolls that are brought may be
auctiOned off for the benefit of the
Orphans Home and prizes may be
given for the most unique costume.
James E. Larimer has announced that
he will attend and that a. mandate will
be issued for all true blue Hot FOots to
do likewise.
The whole affair is somewhat shroud-
ed in mystery, but the imaginative
brains that are working on the scheme,
under the direction of Mr.. Waters, will
develop many noval features before the
time of the party.

High Time That This skuIduggery Be

Mr.. J. w. GIeed has commenced in
junction proceedings against those who
would reopen the doll contest. The court
granted Mr.. Gleed'S petition, and made
the following order:
The United States of American and

Vale, Greeting:
1t having manifestly appeared to this
court that you and each of you have

that is to say, one John Waters, to cor
rupt the ballot box, to thwart the viii
of the people, to violate the constitu-
ton, impair the obligation of contracts,
and subvert the commonwealth, con-
trary to the peace and dignity of the
diocese of Kansas, and that in purSu-
ance of such conspiracy you have per-
mitted the said John Waters to partic-
ipate in the counting of the ballot, and
that you have and are now hitherto
and heretofore, been shall and will
threaten and intend, to permit, allow,
suffer and consent that the contest shall
be reopened and that the said John
Waters shall burn, scratch, erase, de-
strOy, chew, eat and swallow, any and
all ballots cast for any and all other
persons other than, tOwit, him, the said
John Waters.
Now, therefore, in consideration there

MIR. JETMORE CONFIDENT.
On Arranging His Evidence in the
Collins Murder Case.

County Attorney Jetmore is engaged
today in rounding up the witnesses for
the prosecution in the Collins case. The
tr1al"W1u commence next Monday ana
the attorneys are working nov to CLASH
fy the evidence so as to facilitate the
progress of the trial.
Attorney JetmOre has never before
talked to many of the witnesses in the
case. He understood in a general way
what their stories are, but he had never
discussed the evidence with them to find
out for himself all they really know. He
seemed greatly pleased with the result
of his research.
Il am now satisfied. said he. "Our
case is stronger than I anticipated. We
did not know just what the witnesses
would say and I ind that their evidence
is stronger than anticipated. There is
nothing especially new that has de-
veloped but the testimony is more con-
vincing and stronger than I thought
it would be-"
The case is set down for hearing at 9
o'clock Monday morning but it is doubt
full if the work of empanelling a jury
will be commenced before noon. There
is a great deal of work of a routine
character which the district court must
dispose of on Monday and that will be
done before the Collins case is reached.
County Attorney Jetmore thinks that
a jury can be secured before the time
for the court to adjourn on Monday
but that is doubtful. There are 6S jury
men on the panel. The attorneys think
that they will be able to secure the
jury from that number but if for any
reason the panel should be exhausted
it would be necessary to send out for
others and that would make a delay.
The attorneys for the prosecution
think that there will be little trouble
in securing a jury but both sides will
save every possible point and take ad-
vantage of every objection to the men
who will be called to determine the
guilt or innocence of John Collins.
The witnesses for the defense have
not yet been summoned. The list was
given to Sheriff Cook but for some I'M
known reason was withdrawn. It in

SACRIFICE WAS USELESS.
Little Florence Foster Dies Under
ChIoroform While Skin is
Being Grated.

Florence Foster, the 1-year-old daugh-
ter of Mrs. LeOla Foster, died under the
influence of chloroform while skim
grating operation was being performed
at the Stormont hospital yesterday after
noon. The child had been i'll for several
months, but before the operation appear
ed to be in condition to readily stand the
anesrhesia.
Last July the child was horribly burned
about the face, neck and arms by a gaso-
line explosion, and one of her arms re
fused to heal 1t was decided to graft
new skin on the limb, and the child was
taken from her home last Sunday to be
prepared for the operation. As much
skin as possible was to be taken from
the childs lower limbs, and the rest was
to be supplied by her mother. Consider
able of the chiIds healthy skin had been
grated on the arm and Mrs. Foster was
preparing her arms for the further sup
ply of epidermis, when the little girl sud
denly commenced to weaken. She was
removed from the table to one of the
wards and every effort made to 'resuscitate
her. but without effect. She died few
minutes after being removed from the
operating room
Mrs. Foster lives at 1910 Topeka avenue
and the funeral will take place from the
residence.

the building had not much difficulty in
getting out, but it is feared that many
on the fifth floor persisted. Night Watch
man Buckley aroused many of the peo-
pie on this floor. He ran along the cor
ridOrs kicking at doors and shouting to
people to get out for their lives. He
thought the fire broke out on the fifth
floor. When people poured out into the
hall in response to Buckley's alarm it
was filled with smoke and flames. Be
wildered guests CROPPED their way to
the elevator which had come up to the
top floor. The cage was soon filled
and shot down leaving a number of
people behind. By this time the elevator
shaft was on fire and the elevator made
no more trips. Those left behind rushed
