Mrs. Hendricks Timely and Petinent
Statement Mothers Club Has a
Wide Circle Of Influence.

The growing movement for cleaning out
the Tenderloin is not confined to members
of the Providence Mothers Club. A re-
porter OF the News had yesterday an in
terview with Mrs Helen NJ. G. Hendrick
of 20 Stewart street, member of the
school committee and widow OF the late
Joseph Harvey Kendrick, who died few
months ago. Mrs. Kendrick, who has
been for many years prominently iden-
titled with the civic life of Providence.
gives the News her hearty approval and
strong endorsement In it's crusade against
organized vice.
In this opinion Mrs. Kendrick says she
expresses what would have been the SEN
timents OF her husband, whose high per-
sonal character and long and excellent
service i'm municipal affairs are matters
with which everybody Is familiar.
Her statement is as follows:
MRS HENDRICKS STATEMENT.
I'm Mr.. John w AngelRs remarks in
the common council when the resolutions
were passed on the death OF my husband.
he said that in forty-five years OF inti-
mate personal acquaintance I'm both public
and private life. he had never heard an
impure word or an unkind personal re-
mark from his llps.
knowing the exquisite refinement ana
integrity OF Joseph Harvey Kendrick, as
only his wife can know IL. for his sake
j am happy 10 add my small testimony In
favor of anything that can help to make
this world a better place in which to live.
Realizing that unless the heart is pure
the life cannot be. and knowing that leg
islation cannot reform people, still IL is
true that public evils can be lessened by
right laws. judiciously enforced and much
can be done TO increase the respect OF the
rising generation for whatsoever things
are excellent.
God speed anything that will help TO
decrease the' number OF pitfalls in Provi-
dence."

can Ice Co, which corporation last win

VICE PRACTICALLY LICENSED.
The Rev. Ernest G. Wesley. pastor of
Park street church, said:
THE present system is practically IL
cense except that the city does not get
the fees Whether by legal license or
neglect OF duty by the police IL is prac-
tically license. II man had a daughter
who wanted to live life OF shame and
agreed to give him $1,000 a year out of
what she made In that business, would
he tell her to go ahead? OF course he
wouldn't. He would protect her from the
result OF her own foolishness.
The community should do the same
thing. We have a law that no girl under
a certain age shall dispose of her prop
erty or otherwise exercise the functions
OF an adult. She is the ward of the state.
Then the state should have authority
over her in this matter just as IL has in
business matters.

INFLUENCE OF MOTHERS CLUB.
The influence of the Providence Moth
er's Club, which Is about to take up this
question is not in any sense measured
by its numerical strength.
Tho the membership numbers less
than fifty, several public meetings were
held last winter which drew out audi
ences numbering many times nifty.
These meetings were of an educational
nature and subjects were chosen which
would naturally draw out a large at
tendance of mothers, as well as fathers,
friends and teachers.
The subjects chosen were treated by
prominent educators OF Providence and
elsewhere. Aside from these educational
meetings, there were other public gath
erings devoted to the discussion of va
rious questions relating always TO the
home.
A large reception was given under the
auspices of the club, when parents and
teachers met upon a common ground
and talked of themes of common inter-
est.
the winter, subjects relating to the hy-
giene of the home. domestic economy,
the nutritive values of food, etc. are
discussed by women. who are recognized
authorities in their particular lines OF
thought.
In every instance these meetings were
largely attended. and the circle of influ-
ence was thus widened.

CREDITABLE APPOINTMENT.
From the Philadelphia Times OF yesterday.


The appointment OF Isaac johnson as
President Judge of the Delaware County
Courts, to fill the vacancy occasioned b.!
THE death OF Judge Clayton, will be very
generally approved by the people Of all
parties in that county. IL is creditable
alike to the bar and to Judge johnson,
that his appointment was made with en-
tire harmony, and there is little reason
to doubt that he will be nominated and
elected without serious contest.
Judge johnson is self-made man, and
has won his way to distinction at the bar
unaiIed by fortune or fortuitous circum-
stances. His education was limited to
the public schools, and he studied law
while filling the position OF Prothonotary
Of the courts, where he served for q
number Of years.
He was among the aggressive Repub
lican opponents of Judge Clayton in lS94
when Clayton was elected for thirc
term, and it is reasonable to assume thai
under his administration OF the highes
judicial trust OF the county, some Of tn,

tration in the past will not be known il

schemes to Illustrate the Union Repub

forever. If Professor Browne and his
staff Of political advisors will meet al

diagnosis Of the case pending between
these two factions, whether cErable OF
incurable. Ii not it will be chronic with
the Anti-Addicks Republicans and be-
come destructive agent to rebel against
Union Republicans and the workingman

his care. Union Republicans will be OIL

CITY COUNCIL RESPONSIBLE.

From Every Evening Of yesterday.
Alread there is trouble over the col
lection OF garbage, the control Of which
was recently assumed by the City Coun-
Gil, in defiance of sound public senti-
lnent that favored leaving the entire
matter in the hands of the Board of
Health. But City Council insisted upon
assuming control, and SO the change was
made.
Now tue members Of Council! want the
Board of Health to attend to all COM
plants OF non-removal OF garbage which
the Board OF Health very properly re-
fuses to do. The Council, in plain terms
seeks to evade the full responsibility of
its action, and wants to put upon the
Board OF Health the unpleasant duty ot
standing between the people and the con-
tractors who fail to serve them in satis'
factory manner.
But the people should not permit the
mem oers Of Council to shirk the slightest
portion t,f their responsibility. Instead
OF making complaint to the Board o.
Health when their garbage ia not prompt
ly taken away, let them lay their com
plants directly before the members o
Lily Council. Each sufferer should &c
in person to the member of Council from
his ward, aud insist upon the Conncil
man seeing to it that the garbage con
tractors render satisfactory service. Th'
Council alone is responsible.

SUSPICION OF DEMOCRATS.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
No Democrat is free from the suspicion
OF his assoc ates. The latest instance is
the newly el4cted county chairman, "A.
N. Brown, who has been charged with
disloyalty to Bryan and the party. 1t
became nee ssary for Mr.. Brown, In
order to set himself right and to remove
the stigma of suspicion, to write to
county paper, and this is his new oath
OF allegiance:
mo one more than recognize that he
(Bryan) is the greatest living American
statesman, and the ablest advocate OF
pure Democracy in America"
This proved satisfactory and brought
the answer. Mr.. Brown, having thus
purged himself, is now entitled to clean
bill Of health. But there are others.
The urnal, from which we have quoted,
gives expression to the prevailing doubt.
After pattiug Mr.. Brown on the back, II
continues:
''If some other members Of our party
rieht here at home and who have held
high offices would speak in as unequivo
cal terms as our chairman has, We
could cnt down Republican malorl'
ties. Nc.
VINO are the others? Why, the woods
is full Of them.
