down the street, and Pat made a fatal
mistake. Instead Of attending to his
own business he tried TO work and
watch the reckless driver at the same

neither. What ne did do was to loosen

by lusty yell from above.

other Items and Brief Mentions.

Work on the new addition to st. AL
phonsus Orphanage on South Market
street will soon be completed and arrange
ments are being made TO formally open
the building the first of next month.
The orphanage is being divided into
three large departments and after the i'm
provements are finished at least thirty
children can be cared for at time. 1t
will contain a chapel, where services will
be conducted for the sisters in charge and
for the little ones. There will also be
sleeping apartments and a dining room
and kitchen. The old building, which is
now occupied by the sisters and orphans,
will be used entirely as the orphanage and
the sisters will reside in the new part of
the building
In the other section of the addition,
which will be devoted to kindergarten
work, there will be ample room to accom-
modate over eighty children. Thirteen
sisters will have charge of the kinder
garten and the children will be instructed
in various branches. Both the English
and German languages will be taught.
instructions will be given from a. m. to
1870 a. m, and from 1870 p. IN. to $50 p.
m, and only children from to years of
age will be admitted. With a complete
and modern equipment, much will no
doubt be accomplished in the work OF the
kindergarten and with twenty-five rooms
in both the old and new sections of the
building. it will be readily seen that the
occupants will have plenty of room. The
cost of the improvements is about eleven
thousand dollars.
Bishop Donahue and other prominent
clergymen will be present at the opening
of the institution.
