An Experiment With Women lnebri-
ates. ~. ~
1T is said that the, lame horses of
q herd are the ones that first at
tract attention. 1t is also true
that the faulty person in g society
is criticised and often made a
gauge for that society. One noble
woman in England has learned 81
far better way; instead of critics.
ing persons faults she looks for
a way to lift them out of their
sinfulness. What other ''lady Of
rank" would think OF trying to
help the inmates of London pris-
ons as has Lady Henry Somerset,
who established the Duxhurst In
dustrial Farm Colony and kept it
in successful operation since 1896,
at an expense of $4,000 a year.
Prison education did not tend
to elevate her fallen sisters and a
site was chosen among the green
hills, $50 acres of land set aside
and the lovely Princess, Duchess
Of Teck, laid the corner stone for
an experimental home. How has
it worked? 1t has not been all
that was hoped, for it has not yet
become self suffering, yet many
who would have found q drunk
ards reward have been turned to-
ward Zion.
\ scheme deserving of wide
emulation has been presented to
the world, the hospital and home
versus prison and reformatory.
Above all stands abiding faith in
God. The first year 5000 appi-
cants were turned away, and Is
per cent Of all the inmates who
have entered have been reclaimed.
Judge Clifford, of Chicago, has
decided that the city ordinance
prohibiting the location OF saloons
on boulevards, except within GER
tain limits, is valid. This applies
to hotels located on the prominent
boulevards and is the heaviest blow
ever dealt the liquor dealers in
Chicago.
Missouri has engaged Miss
Louise Hollister for two or more
months work in the interest of the
Young Womans Branch. Miss
Hollister is the efficient Y. secre
tary of Minnesota, and her going
into Missouri will give Mrs. Bur.
GER more time TO devote to the
work at large.
Miss Hollister begun her work
in 81 local Y. in Duluth and now
stands at the head Of the work il
our State. This we prophesy i
her her first step toward q nationa
worker.
The Voice, a japanese paper
whose editor bitterly opposed tht
work of Miss Clara Parrish in tina
country, now quotes at length thu
article in the Paris Benco72 relating
to her royal welcome home, ane
says of her future work: ''Hel
temperance tour around the worl(
which she has so successfully con
eluded is guarantee that what
ever that work may be it will b.
we'll done. Miss Parrish has tn,
warmest congratulations of th'
Voics and it's sincerest wishes fo1
her future success"
Will any Of our Princeton "
ever reach the goal set for them b,
these their sisters?
