Early depression.
Chicago, March 29.-May wheat opened 80
Ac lower to shade higher. at IAQH12c:
The early depression was due in the main to
selling by the local crowd and the expectation
that with the opening of lake navigation
freight rates might ease somewhat: Ihere
was some fair early business, but because or
the short session to-day the opening was not
marked by any very prominent business.
Corn strength on the cold weather west in

and May sold to 715sc. The wheat people,
however, were not inclined to attach much

MUMFORD'S RESCUE WORK.
Twelve Children From Savannah
Now Under His Care.

Twelve Children From savannah
Now Under His Care.
The work of rescuing lost children by
the Georgia Industrial Home near Ma
con, is attracting wide attention. The
home is admirably located, on a farm
of 200 acres. and the children are taught
habits of industry. honesty cleanliness,
system, order and the virtues of life.
The home was founded and organ
lied for the especial purpose of en-
phasizing the degradation and misery
of the little street waif and outcast-
the child without hope. Mr.. Mumford,
the founder of this commendable char
ity, is devoting his entire life to the
rescue of these destitute and innocent
child sufferers. He calls them
the orphans of living parents, and by
his earnest enthusiasm in their behalf
he has aroused the interest of many
people in Georgia. Last year a number
of Savannahiaps gave him money to
build a Savannah cottage at the home
and it is said to be the best construct
ed house on the place.
There are now in the home twelve
children from Savannah and Mr.. Num-
ford, who is now in the city, has with
him a fine photograph of these chill
dren and their handsome appearance
tell of their care and training. He
says it costs the institution $50 per an
mum to care for a child and that over
500 is needed to care for the twelve
children from Savannah for one year
and that many others from this city
are seeking admission and that more
room is needed there
Mr.. Mumford's home is highly en-
dorsed by every lover of humanity who
knows of it. The Grand Commandery
of Georgia was the first state fraternal
organization to vote the home a sum of
money, 500, and that was three years
ago. at Augusta, and every year this
noble order has given this amount TO
help save Georgia's castaWay children.
Mr. Mumford's move is highly in
dorsed by many friends in this city.
He will be in Savannah to-day and to-
morrow. and is stopping al the Pulas-
XII Hotel. Donations sent there to him
or handed to Maj Karow, Mr. George
j. Baldwin or Mr.. w. B. Stubs will
reach him and be thankfully received.
The home is regularly chartered, has
a board of directors. but has no ar
ganized support, no UNCONVENTIONAL or
state aid and is solely dependent on
voluntary charity through the efforts
of its founder. He has in his hands a
great undertaking.
