In view Of the fact that so many young
people I'm this city Of both sexes get into
trouble by having no place in which to

two public school teachers in another city.
These ladies began with the sole object of
helping the boys and girls to develop into
noble manhood and wOmanhood, and to
brighten the lives of their parents especial
ly the mothers. The first step taken by
these ladies in the line of keeping boys
from the streets at night. They secured
permission to use a school building and
opened a boys club and afterward a girls
club. The boys meet Monday, Wednesday
and Friday evenings. They are provided
with books magazines and games. and are
subdivided into classes for basket making
Venetian iron work. physical exercise mill
tary drill and manual training
The girls receive practical instruction in
various branches of housework For this
purpose a number Of ladies offered the use
of their homes for instruction. The girls
are divided into four groups, of six each
making twenty-four girls in the class.
There are four teachers and four DEPART

Mortality In the Seminole War.

1 rom tnt tAlcdSO
The only experience the United States
army has ever had in tropical warfare was
in Florida from 1S}J to 1S42-the seven
years war with the Seminole Indians
While the conditions there were much more
favorable than they are in Cuba. the NOR
tally from disease was enormous in COM
paris"n to the number of men employed
The records show that there were altogeth-
er 100 troops engaged during the seven
years fighting against total Of about
3'sn Indians. Of whom Jg4 We're men
/ :;.,1 women and gg3 children The war
was carried on in a manner very similar to
that between the Spaniards and the Gu
bans The Indians would never consent to
= stand-up night unless they had a great
advantage, hut lay in ambush and attacked
the soldiers in the dark whenever they
could do 50 without exposing their own
lives They lived on the country. the na-
tive fruits, roots. vegetables and game
while the soldiers were required To carry
supplies with them and were thus ha ndi-
capped and retarded in their movements.
IL took seven years 10 subduc the savages
and there was no peace until they were
practically exterminated. At the end of
seven years the fightin; men were reduced
10 about three hundred and tfey Were hid
den in the everglades
During these seven years out of the i0O
troops employed .-.}1 died-twenty-three
sailors and forty-two marines-the re-
mainder being officers and soldiers of the
regular army OF this number only fifty
eight were killed in battle. PA died of
wounds, and 80 Of malariaI diseases
As result Of the Indian war there are
now on the pension rolls GffI persons nf
whom 2'fI3 are survivors and 2sS widows.
They receive an average of $500 eco year
in pensions. and since 1893 have been paid
