! Salt Lake, Nov. SO.-Through the gem
crosby OF a Salt Lake woman, this city
is to have another splendid public in
stitution, the Judge Memorial Home for
Miners.

Mrs Mary Judge upon a site belonging
to the Catholic church in this city, 20
be decided upon later.
The erecting of the home will be il
charge of Bishop Seaman, to whom Mrs.
Judge leaves the entire MATES.

Mrs. Judges Letter.
In a letter to Bishop Seaman, Mrs.
Judge announces her purpose as follows:
salt Lake City, Nov. 81, 1901.
"Rt. Rev. Lawrence Scanlan Roman
Catholic Bishop of Salt Lake.-Dear
Bishop Scanlan:-As a memorial to my
deceased husband, I desire to establish
a home for aged and infirm miners, and
a hospital where the unfortunates may
receive proper medical and surgical
treatment to be conducted under your
management and control.
You may proceed with the necessary
arrangements to that end and draw on
me for all expenditures in connection
Herewith. Sincerely yours.
MARY JUDGE"
1T is a noble thought" said Bishop
Seaman, commenting on Mrs. Judges
letter, "ant will be another manifesto
ton of Mrs. Judges charity and hui
manity.
81 am inclined to believe that Provi-
dence has much to do with the distri-
button of wealth and often sees to it
that wealth is placed in the hands Of
those who will use it for the benefit
of mankind.
This home will be a great blessing
to the old miners, to whom the people
of the country owe so much.
Miners Create Wealth.
1T is really the miners who have
created the bulk of the wealth of this
region and too often they grow old in
poverty while others enjoy the wealth
made possible by them.
TT is fitting, too, that Mrs. Judge
should be one to take action in the di-
rection of giving comfort to the aged
and infirm miners, since her wealth
came from the mines.
1.-The home will do great good here,
and the more I think of it the grander
does Mrs. Judges idea appear to me.
II know nothing more of the matter
further than what appears in Mrs.
Judges note," continued Bishop Seaman,
land while in that she gives me carte
blanche in the work of establishing the
home, yet shall want to see her before
any definite steps are taken.
shall want IN 6iScNSS the question
Of approximate cost, plans and many
other details before taking any action,
and shall try to see Mrs. Judge to-
morrow.
Broadcast Management.
MRS. Judge requests that the insti-
tuition shall be conducted under my
management, and while it continues I'M
der my direction I shall endeavor to
run it along the lines of the broadcast
Christian charity. pr.
Christ loved the poor and unfOrtun-
ate, and in the management of this home
there will be nothing of creed, or race,
or anything aside from the good of poor
or suffering humanity.
There will be but two questions
asked Are you a human being?' and
Are you in need?' shall strive to carry
out to the utmost Mrs. Judges evident
desire to give comfort and happiness to-
that class who have done SO much for
this country.
1--WE are all really enjoying to a degree
the fruit of their labor and their sacri-
fees and their hardships, and it is fitting
that those Of us who are able should
strive to do something for them.
II believe the thought in Mrs. Judges
mind is that she should try to make the
best use of it, and those of us who know
of her many noble deeds Of charity are
not doubling that Providence is guiding
her Alright"
Mrs. Judge Talks.
Mrs. Judge was seen at her home last
evening, and when asked for more de-
tails OF the plan, she said that Bishop
Seaman and Father Kelly would select
the site and arrange all the details, and
she was sure they would arrange the
matter most satisfactorily.
The church has several sites in the
city and there will be no difficulty in
finding a good location.
The home is to be established pri-
marily for aged miners. but in addition
thereto a hospital for sick miners will
be feature of the institution.
Mrs. Judge is ready to have the work
commence at any time. but at present she
