SAM GIN wAH FAILS TO
SUPPORT HIS FAMILY
Chinese Wife Applies to CharitAbls
Society for Assistance in I'm
proving His Conduct.


Sam Gin Wah, Chinaman who has for
many years been conducting a ucrative
laundry business on Jessie street, near
Sixth, has proved himself unable TO bear
prosperity and is now in danger Of prose-
cution by Secretary White Of the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children
for abusing his wife and family.
Mrs. Gin Wah states that her husband
will not furnish sufficient money for food
and clothing, but is constantly away from
home on drinking spree, which has al
ready lasted several years and which
seems likely to continue unless forci0la
measures are taken to put a stop to it.
Sans five little children have to stay In
the house because hey have no clothes
which are suitable for street wear, and
their education is consequently sadly neg
lected.
Their mother says that she does not
care If Sam drinks himself to death, for
very likely the gods have ordained that
such shall be his end, but she asks that
he be compelled to support the family.
She thinks that her husband will listen
favorably and respectfully to the advice
Of a Police Judge.

Owing to the late conaagration 1t was
necessary for the School Savings Bank
to suspend business for short time.
But its doors were reopened Monday
morning and the business done shows
that its financial supporters have the
greatest faith in the reliability Of the
institution. Tho this system OF bank
ing has been in operation only one year,
yet the pupils Of the school have over
81 900 deposited to their account. This
record speaks well for the saving habits
Of our younger ones, and seems to testi-
fy to the fact that there are those In
our midst who are laying the foundation
of a fortune which in after life will ele-
vate them to that sphere OF eminence
which is now occupied by the financiers
of our nation.
Hitherto we have restrained from
doing any roasting" in this column,
but as others are doing it in manner
somewhat at variance with our well
founded convictions on the subject, we
will remark as timely suggestion, that

Of the high school and the members
that constitute that other branch Of our
educational nstitution--the preparatory
department. The beneficial results
obtained from this social intermingline
are being manifested in the literary
work of the schools.
The next notable event on the cata
logue of literary projects is the mock
trial to be conducted under the auspices
of the joint literary societies on Friday
March 18th. One OF the masculine mem
bers of the high school has been charged

seeks satisfaction through the strong
arm OF the law. Those who attend are
assured of an enjoyable entertainment
for the afternoon.
AT this writing it seems evident thai
an appeal will have to be made to the
court to grant an injunction prohibiting
some of the juniors from signing names
other than their own to their cores
pondence.
The text books have now arrived, anG
have been distributed among the sever
al rooms.
The Seniors will begin an eight week,
course in political economy this week.
The officers of the literary societies
assumed their respective Offices at the
last meeting. Owing to the inclemency
Of the weather the serving of refresh
