jet a Home for Children.

Of One of Americas Most
Noble PhiIanthrOpiStS,

The colored people Of Wichita have made
benevolence Within the last few a2va

citizens giving 10 them the right 20 volun-
tarily associate themselves together for
the purpose Of forming a private corpora
ton under the laws of Kansas, with the
intention of starting a home that colored
destitute and homeless children can be ad-
mltted to. The name of the institution
that the corporation is chartered under is
The Helen Gould Home of Wichita
The home will take children Of either
color, support and care for them and viii
try to find homes and employment for the
children when Of proper age.
It is the purpose Of the officers to con-
duct the home as a benevolent institution,
depending solely upon charity and appro-
priations when the same may be had The
officers and directors Of the new home are
composed OF representative colored men,
who are all well known in the city. such
as ]. c. Parish, president; S. w. Lee,
vice president; Newton Thompson, trea-
surer; w. c. Neeley, secretary; r ;.
Johnston, assistant secretary; Ben wilson,
Dudley johnson. George johnson and II.
II. Neeley, superintendent, all Of Wichita.
The amount Of stock is designated as
Nothing
The idea Of a home originated some
time ago, when it was first brought into
prominence by the fact becoming known
that children Of colored people were barred
from entering the Children's home, an in
stitution existing in this city now and re-
ceiving a monthly allowance from the
county commissioners and city as well.
The colored people do not bar either
color and will take any and al who are
committed to their care. a small, six-room
cottage was secured about a month 40,
al 1447 South River street, and comfort
ably fitted up. Mrs. II. H Neeley has
been secured as matron and three little
colored children are now Inmates OF the
home. Another little white boy is ex-
pected TO be taken in the home this week
The directors have given the name Sc
lected for the association in honor of the
charitable and Christian character of Miss
Helen Gould, whom they all decided had
become the foremost lady in the land as
a philanthropic person identified with
many Of the great charities which have
done so much for the poor and destitute
children in New York. besides having been
recognized by the national congress for
her untiring efforts in successfully carry
ing out plans for the relief Of the sick and
wounded soldiers during the late war be-
tween this country and Spain. II was by
a unanimous vote Of the board of d.rec-
tors that the name should be selected first
and then to send word to Miss Could Of
their action.
Secretary Neeley viii forward a copy of
the charter TO Miss Gould today with
copy of the minutes of the meeting show
ing to her the action Of the board, and
asking Miss Could to accept the h-nar
and esteem Of the colored people Of Wich-
lta, in which her name is so highly held.

NO NEWS FROM GENERAL OTIS
SITUATION IRRITATING OWING TO
INDEFINITE INFORMATION.
Extra Precautions Have Been Taken
to Dispatch Reinforccments to
Otis Command.

Washington. January 2.-Nothing more
has been heard at the war department from
General Otis at Manila since his cablegram
OF yesterday was received The situation
is Irritating in the fact that according ia
the experience OF the last few days it is
not to be expected that anything more
can be heard from Iloilo for day or two
at the least, except in the very improbable
event that the American force has been
repulsea in their efforts to make a landing
and has been obliged to return straight
to Manila. 1t is surmieed from the reports
that General Miller ~ proceeding with
more tact and with less roughness in his
dealings with the Insurgents than appears
from first inspection OF the reports.
His purpose apparently was to avoid such
formal recognition of the insurgents as
might tend to embarrass the United States
government hereafter, but at the SAME
time not to deal harshly with them If
they can be brought to see the rectitu,ie az
his lldentlons Therefore, the officials
are of the opinion that there will be no
actual hostilitses between the forces ar
rayed against the American army, but AT
the worst the American army will retire ~
