HE Examiner will have no oppOr-
Ntunity to seek out Of the Nebraska
troops such cheap and shameful
notoriety as was sought TO be
gained out of the Oregon volun-
teers. Congressman II. J. Starke of
Nebraska and T. H. Barry of the same
State have arrived IN the city to await
the coming of the Nebraska troops
from the Philippines. The distin-
guished visitors viii be Joined to-day
by the Governor of Nebraska, who will
head the welcoming delegation and give
TO the returning soldiers an official
greeting and congratulations. The Ne
braska officers are proud Of the record
OF their State volunteers in the Philip
pines and careful preparations have
been made to make the soldiers feel
that their valor is hOnOred by those
that know them in their homes
First of all. the visitors will see that
every Nebraska trooper that needs
clothing of any sort will be amply and
quickly provided for without the i'm
pertinent and uncalled for suggestion
or Interference of the local yellow jour
nal. The soldiers Will have all they
need. if they need any, owing to the
forethought and provision of the State
authorities of Nebraska. One lesson of
indecent greed for nOtoriety. such as
the Examiner showed in reference to
the Oregon troops, was enough for the
returning volunteers.
The soldiers Of Nebraska are expected
10 arrive in the city next Saturday.
They will be welcomed by the high rep
resentatives of their own State and un-
ouestionabIy receive the honors that
were shown by the people Of San Fran
cisco to the soldiers Of Oregon. Con-
gressman Starke and Adjutant General
Barry have thought very little of pleas
ure since their arrival here. Their pur-
pose in coming was TO prepare well
come to the troops of their State, and
this the visitors set about doing at
once
During the day the visitors were the
guests Of Congressman Julius Kahn.
They were introduced to prominent
Federal officials at this port and TO the
members of the State HarbOr Commls-
sion Assurances were given that the
Government tug is at the service OF the
Nebraska representatives whenever 1t
is needed. It VIII probably not be called
into reuuisition until it steams down
the bay to welcome the returning SOL
diers. Every courtesy to the home
coming volunteers will be shown by the
harbor and Federal authorities.
Congressman Starke and Adjutant
General Barry will visit the Presidio to-
dav to look after the sick and wounded
soldiers of Nebraska that have already
returned from the war. Nothing that
may be done to make these men COM
Portable or to relieve their sufferings
will be neglected. More than this, Con-
gressman Starke and Adjutant General
Barry are determined that the return
ing soldiers of Nebraska shall not be
treated as mendicants. If they need
any undertaking, uniforms or over

HOME FOR ABANDONED
BABES OF THE CITY
Interesting Statistics of the San
Francisco Founding Asylum
for Twelve Months

The annual report of the San Francisco
Lying-tn Hospital and Founding Asylum
for the fiscal year just ended is an inter
esting commentary on the waywardness
of a great city we'll as remarkable
tribute to the work of a notable charity.
During the period covered by the report
forty-eight infants, most of them only a
few daVs old, were received in the reCep-
tacle for babes placed outside the asylum
quarters at 9l3 Golden Gate avenue. The
unfortunate mothers who have thus con-
signed their little ones to the mercy and
charity of the world do not. know per-
haps that the asylum authorities have
an electrical appliance by which bell
is rung as soon as a baby is placed in the
basket at the door. The furtive mother
who places her babe in the crib as it
is called almost Immediately arouses the
vigilant attendants of the founding home
thereby.
During the year eight children were
born in the asylum, two were taken away
by the mothers, five died twenty-three
were adopted, four are in other homes
and twenty-five are in the house at
present.
In connection with the home there is
a training school for nursery maids now.
These girls are paid IS month for their
services and are taught by a deliberate
course of instruction how to care for
young children. After following course
sented with diplomas certifying that they
are competent in their work. The COM
mencement exercises of the first class OF
trained maids will be held at the Florence
Crttenton Home in the first week of Au-
gust.
The home now has seven rooms for
the use of mothers and the arrangement
of wards for the children provides all
hygienic needs required to protect and en-
courage infant life.
The present officers, who were recently
elected, are as follows: Charles R. Pat

nor Of Nebraska and his associates act.
The exact form the welcome of the
Nebraska veterans viii assume has
not, as yet, been definitely settled
upon, nor will the arrangements be
fully completed until after consulta-
ton is had with the Governor, when
he arrives in this city this evening.
But according to the rough outline
of the programme, as given last night
by Cadet Taylor, who has also come
from Omaha to welcome the boys who
have sacrificed so much for the honor
of their country and their State,
royal treat Will be given. They will
land and be mustered out in this city.
Then they will be taken in charge by
their own people and sent to their
homes. But they Will not go directly
there. unless they so elect. If they
wish it, they will be given a little trip
y
rious points Of interest and pleasure
along their route home and be afforded
an opportunity to enjoy themselves
generally Possibly they will go as far
north as Portland. The entire expense
of the trip will cheerfully be borne by
the people of the State to which they
have brought so much honor and re
nown. Of course this programme is
everything else depends entirely upon
the wishes of the boys themselves.
Mr.. Taylor said the first idea was to
take the regiment to Omaha in body
and, after entertaining it there for
few days. to send the different COM
panies home to the localities where
they were first organized. But this
plan raised so much protest from the
people of those localities who wished
to be the first to welcome back the
heroes they had sent forth to the wars,
that it was finally abandoned. Now the
idea is to send each company directly
home as soon as the contemplated
pleasure jaunt is finished.
Mr.. Taylor is president of the Thurs
ton Rifles, an organization that was
formed to care for the armOry and look
after the interests OF It's absent oCCu-
pants.
The original Thurston Rifles are now
Company L of the Nebraska Regiment
and in their ante-bellum days they
were the champion drill corps Of the
entire United States.
From the reports we at home have
had of them they have certainly lost
none of the excellence of their former
record.
Among the returning troops are two
whom Mr.. Taylor will welcome with
special pride and affection.
They are his sons, Major Wallace Z.
Tavlor and Herbert B. Taylor, first
sergeant of Company l..

PpNsToN SHARKS AND Pensions

But fer pension sharks and po,iti-
clans the rational treasury would moi
be bied so unmercifuily by the pension
