men and maidens, chaperoned by their
elders. gathered at the opera house on
Wednesday evening and INDUCED in
dancing. Tie: hall had been Hastily
arranged. the floor was in good shape
and the music perfect. Everyone en-
joyed themselves thoroly with the pos
sible exception of few anxious moth

OF waters against the windows, won
dered what the babes at home were

Carl Browne, who was Coxey's lieu
tenant in his famous march to Wash
ington. and was one of the men arrest
ed on the capitol grounds for getting
on the grass, was in the city a couple
OF days this week on his way to Den
yer. He is travelling in his famous
log cabin wagon and is accompanied
by his wife who is Coxey's daughter.
Mr.. Browne is travelling over the
country addressing the people on ev-
cry opportunity with view to arons-
ing them to the fact that they are the
American soverigns with the supreme
power and that all that is necessary
for them to do is to exercise the power
which the ballot gives them. His work
exposes him to frequent ridicule, but
that hurts no one, and in every place
no hn n 1;%%1
will eventually bear fruit.
The ball club went to Dodge, We'd
nesday, and crossed bats with the club,
of that city, the result being % to @
in favor of Dodge. When Dodge went
to bat for the last half of the ninth in
ming the score, the score stood % to
II in favor of Kinsley. In this inning
the rOoters took up the game and rat
tied the umpire, causing him to err in
fovor of his home team and generally
spoiled what up to that time was a
very good game. The Dodge boys
will play here ON the Goth, at the old
settlers picnic, and we hope for the
credit of the town and county that they
will be treated with every courtesy.
The reputation of the town is worth
much more than any game of ball.
The pleasure of witnessing exhibition
of shis kind has been greatly spoiled
by outsiders who indulge in unseemly
and discourteous remarks en- the game
with view to showing preference for
one side or the other. Show the boys
a gentleman's game on the 10Th re-
gardless of the question of winning.

something to do with the county tick

ents thus relieved of the burden of support
That the babies suffer from this loss Of natural
protection is evidenced by the pitifrIl sadness
noticeable in the pathetic melancholy of each
little pinched face. This look is especially
marked now that sickness has added 10 the
hardness OF their lot.
Only few days ago 4 kind hearted woman of
my acquaintance visited the asylum in search Of
healthy baby for adoption, and after half an
hours stay in the wards. left the building with
tears in her eyes and walked straight 10 the Office
OF DIR. Somers, head OF the medical faculty Of
the institution The story she gave the physi-
clan so heartbreaking that he promptly ap-
pointed her on the list of lady visitors urging
that she make thorough investigation into the
conduct OF the management, and report the case
TO him for remedy, as DIR. Somers expected
to leave town the following DAY on his vaca-
tion, and there but Saturday evening in
which to carry out the plan and make a writ
ten report Thus the good intentions of the
complainant and would-be reformer were frls-
trated for the time. Being a woman Of re-
source and determination, however, she does not
intend TO let the matter rest until official no.
tice is taken and a reform instituted
The most remarkable part of the case is that
the Founding Hospital is under the manage
ment Of the Board Of Chidren's Guardians, with
to the wards Is not restricted to time or cir
cumstances. 1t is no exaggeration to assert that
the condition OF the forty little waits under its
roof affords evidence of literal starvation Should
camera be turned upon the interior OF the
hospital ward the scene depicted would rival the
most heartrending pictures OF the Cuban recon-
centradoes. No wonder that the wailing Of these
infants should destroy the peace OF respectabls
neighborhood- 1t is enough to thrill the heart
Of Christendom, and turn the tide Of weIEmeans
charity into purely local channels.

The Founding Asylum.
To the Editor of the Times:


When last winter residents OF the neighbor-
hood of the Children's Founding Asylum, To-
Gated on Fifteenth Street, between and S
Streets, made public complaint of the continu-
Gus crying of the babies, there was a great
hullabaloo of criticism and conflicting views as
to the propriety of removing the institution to
some less sensitive neighborhood. After much
ado, the matter was dropped, and the subject
forgotten. Strange to say, no one sought to
discover the real cause of the crying, or take
advantage OF the opportunity for investigation
to bring about a remedy. Doubtless. this was
due to the fact that no one dreamed there was
any local cause for complaint under so plau-
sible existing conditions as the management PEE
sented. Had they taken the trouble to look per-
sonally into the matter much necessity for reform
would have been apparent, since even casual Wis
itor to the wards could not fail to be impressed
with this fact.
In the first place, the Founding Asylum has
at present writing less than forty infants.
ranging in age from the weakling OF days to the
child of seven years, not one of whom but is
in need of constant attention, owing to a re-
cent epidemic OF scarlet fever. For the care of
this large number of invalids the asylum boasts
but ten nurses in all, allowing but a detail
of two for night work. 1t will readily be seen
that it would be impossibility to secure
proper attention under the circumstances, even
allowing that each one of the attendants de-
voted every moment OF her time to minister
ing to the little ones. The situation speaks for
itself, and every mothers heart cannot but bleed
for the helpless little sufferers, whom an un-
happy fate has placed in a position Of CON-
plete dependence upon the humanity OF strang
ers. All not foundlings- Some have been
placed there through the DEGREES OF poverty by
parents who would rather forswear all right
and title to their children than see them suf-
fer day by day In hopeless destitution and want
Yet all alike dead to the maternal love that
bore them, since the law OF adoption requires
complete renunciation, and even knowledge OF the
childs future whereabouts on the part OF par
