Chet Dean Writes the Journal That the Box
Of Relief, Sent 10 September, Had
Not Arriyed-Tracers are Out,

Chef Dean writes TO the JOURNAL
under date of.Noyember6, that he has
not yet received the box of clothing
and foodstuffs sent bin by Wellington
Deople 10 September. The mayor Of
Galveston has sent tracer after IL,
and Agent j. V. Williams NJ Wellui-
ton Is eDdeayGring TO locate IL. Mr..
Dean says that business at Galveston
is demoralized; that all men have
been laid off; that very few who need
relief have received any, nOtwith-
standing over a million collars have
been sent to the Galveston relief CON-
mittee. 1t is always a mistake to
send money t0 organized commit
tees" Those most deserving OF relief
seldom receive it, no matter what the
emergency. The millien dollars, sent
to Galveston was used to restore the
stronger institutions OF the town,
while the poor and needy were largely
overlooked. Mr.. Dean used the money
sent him by Wellington people 10

he takes u srCrs, ALL bucket OF wa

wi:a or!y lin coating OF
mud which easily dissolyes upon the

the mud is removed be takes sharp
knife and cuts the strips Of spst bam-

duces a hole in The wall large enough
for a man TO crawl through. and can

Anerica's Women Ministers.

There are to-day about 300 women
ministers in the United States. In
America the ministry is being more
used by women as profession than the
law. The great value of women min
listers in America is for scattered parts
that cannot possibly afford to support
a man. They can maintain woman
minister. The chief opposition to
women pastors comes from ministers
OF the poorer and least qualified class.
OF course the older and more conserva-
tive ministers, bishops and the like,
do not look with much pleasure on a
woman in the pulpit. But many con-
gregations in the United States are
ready for women ministers.-Chicago
