would take the whipping, but they
were taken back to Jail, and ne
more was thought of the whipping
by the officials.
Friday evening the negroes sent

out on the western prairie where the

ca. Hope hall is the Idea OF Mrs
Maud Booth, the good angel OF the
Volunteers. 1t is home for ex-con-
victs. to put the matter very b ntly.
For long time Mrs Booth conslu red
the question of doing something tangi-
bic to aid the men who are turned out
OF the prisons OF the country, home
less and in many cases hopeless. With
the prison taint upon them It Ia some
times almost impossible for them to
keep straight" They must live, and
living Is none too easy even for q man
who has never done time" and whose
record cen be traced back by his en-
ployers to its beginnings. Cast thus
upon an unfrlendly world. II Is small
wonder that SO many conyicts have
records OF two, three or more convic-
tions-that they drift back into the
unlawful ways which end only within
| the stone walls OF prison. 1t was
/ these facts which besot the mind OF
Mrs. Booth when she sought some
method OF assisting these men whose
ranks are Ing constantly augmented.
and she determined that the establish
ment of permanent homes where the
released convicts could live until they
had obtained foothold in life again
was the best plan. The home located
on Austin boulevard is the third Hope
hall" to be established by the Volun-
tcers in furthcranco of this plan, the
first one being in New York city, whore
its exact location is kept secret-that
is, the Volunteers do not mark 1t with
signs as they do all OF their other
establishments nor have they permit
ted the New York newspar org to ad-
ycrtlse its location. Indeed, the ad-
dress OF the Chicago Hope hall was
a jealousy guarded secret for a long
time, Mrs. Booth having declared posi-
lively that no one save those directly
Interested would know where the homo
was to be established, nor would it's
location be made known by any s.gns
after it was in working order.-Phila-

The Chicago authorities are
drawing the net around the million
aire packers, who have been steal
ing water from that city. Several
new pipes were rccentlyunearthed
running into the boiler house OF
Swift & Co. These men evidently
think it no wrong to steal from
the city. 1t is Il notable fact that
the Chicago American is the only
paper in the Windy city that has
published the news of the finding
of pipes. Evidently the rest OF
the press is subsidized by the pack
ers. Hearst's Chicago American
has made name for itself as Il
fighter for the rights of the peo-
pie.
