THE SOCIAL SETTLEMENT.
Summer Glasses Are Being Conduct
ed for Girls.

Forty-five young girls are students at
the Industrial school in the Social Set
Element building at the corner of
Fourth and Jackson streets. Mrs. r.
F. GLASGOW is superintendent of the
school, which is a branch of the settle
ment work which has been in progress
several years. She is assisted by Mrs.
A. L. Sheldon, Miss Loretta Fox, Miss
Kate Welch and Miss Addie Skinner.
boys classes. which were interrupted
by the flood and the relief work, will be
resumed soon as the boys can be
brought together. Many of them lived
in North Topeka and there is some diff
ficulty in locating them now. Miss
Mabel Hills, who is a teacher of do
nestle science in the public schools of
PittSburg, Pa, and who is spending the
vacation with her parents, Mr. and Mrs
Howard Hills, on Topeka avenue, has
offered her services for a class in do
made for it. At present the settlement
building is entirely occupied by flood
victims except the one room where the
free kindergarten is held, but if other
quarters can be found for these people
the rooms will be fitted for a domestic
science training school and classes will
be received by Miss Hills. The settle
ment work is greatly hampered by lack
of funds. J. w Gleed donated the
money to start the free kindergarten
and baby shelter which has proved such
a blessing to many working mothers,
and Mrs. George Huron, Mrs Phil c.
kindergarten alumni, young women who
took the kindergarten training course in
the Bowman Memorial school, are aid
ing in the work.

HE MET THE POPE.
Rev. John Maher, of SaIina, Granted
an Audience in 1897.

Salina, Kan, July 1O.-One of the few
kansans who have had the privilege of
an audience with Pope Leo XIII is Rev.
John Maher, pastor of the Sacred Heart
Catholic church of this city. Father
Maher was a member of the American
pilgrimage to Rome in August 1897, and
while there his party was granted an
audience with the pope, who at that
time was 81 years of age and apparent
ly very fraiI.
In order to be presented to the pope
one must secure a ticket, which is Civ
en- on the presentation of letters of rec
ommendation from a bishop, an official
of high standing in the church, or the
American ambassador, or consul at
Rome. To the priests the pope always
speaks in Latin and it was in this
language that the venerable pontiff on
meeting Father Maher delivered to him
a lesson in obedience. Pope Leo also
spoke of religious interests and the pros
poets of the church in America.
Father Maher had an interesting con-
versation with the head of the church,
who at all times expressed his love for
America. He told the priest that he
liked the American republic for the
reason that all have the liberty to wor-
ship and profess as they see fit To
meet Pope Leo is an event in the life
of the bishop, priest or layman. In
speaking of the pontiff, the priest said
today;
He had the most penetrating eye L
ever saw. 1 shall never forget when l
first saw them. He can read man
through at a glance. Even then the
pope was very frail and looked like
marble statue. He had marvellous
voice, and to hear and not see him
person could easily believe 1t was the
voice of a young man."

"TROUBLE CAR" TRIPS.
Vinewood Line Being Made Ready
for Opening of Traffic.

The Topeka City Railway has not yet
organized regular car service on the
new Vinewood line. Trips are made.
however. by what L E. Myers, vices
president of the company, calls a
trouble" car. The first trip of these
cars was made over the line last night
and another this morning.
Mr. Myers said today: I'VE can let
no one ride upon the cars that we are
now sending over the line. They are
what we call trouble cars. The line
is not vet in condition for safe travel.
In one place we still have a temporary
trestle and in other places along the
line limbs of trees. wires and other
things obstruct the progress of the
cars. The purpose of these cars which
we are now running is to locate these
places in order that the line can be
cleared of all such Instructions before
the regular cars are started. The pub
lie will be notified beforehand when
we are ready to 1naugurate the regu-
lar service"

HAVE RELIEF PLAN.
Armourdale Committee Given Assur-
ance by Kansas City,

Kansas City, July lO-The Joint relief
committee of the two Kansas Citys met
yesterday afternoon in Convention hall
to talk over the situation in Armour
dale. James Lillis and e. A. Harris
of the ArmOurdale committee of ten"
were at the meeting and after a long
session the joint committee gave to
them written statement as follows
our agreement as to the plan of pro-
cedure Tor future work in ArmOurdale
Is that your committee OF ten should
take hold of and obtain and put in
writing all information necessary and
pertaining to each application for re-
lief to enable the joint committee to
furnish the exact relief necessary in
each case for the relief of the citizens
of ArmOurdale. If in your judgment
1t Is best to continue DIR. Miner as the
choice and head of the committee for
powered to procure all necessary cleri-
cal aid within reason to prosecute such
work"
This means that the committee of ten
headed by Mr.. Lillis will supervise all
relief given in Armourdale
The netting started out in a rather
stormy fashion. Mr.. Lillis told the COM
mittee bluntly that unless his committee
was recognized and consulted he would
GO to court and apply for receiver to
handle the entire relief fund. A. +.
Meyer. chairman of the Kansas City re-
lief committee, who presided at the
meeting. told Mr.. Lillis that he and his
committee represented only 200 out of
$4,000 people in Armourdale and that he
and his committee were trying only to
embarrass the committee and hinder it
in it's work. Mr.. Lillis then teal
" reached for his hat and he and Mr..
Harris started to leave, but the COM
mittee feared more trouble in Armour
dale and they were asked to stay with
the result that they agreed to work with

SOME SEEK HONOR.
This Man Had 1t Pinned Firmly to
His Coat

There is likely to be a general ex-
odus of Chicago clubmen to Topeka if
they ever hear the story of how one of
their number, L. E. Myers, the new
president of the Topeka Railway com
pany, had greatness thrust upon him
In this town. Mr.. Myers was here dur
ing the flood and was one of the men
engaged in the building of the cable
from the Rock Island passenger station
across the Melan bridge by which so
many of the North side people were
rescued. But he was a stranger in
town. He was greatly annoyed by the
tin soldiers" and others on guard to
keep the rubbernecks from the scene
of activity and who were constantly
stopping him and questioning his right
to be on the north side of Second street.
so he applied to the chief of police for
a star or some other insignia of his Off
cial position. Now it happened that all
the badges for policemen and special
policemen We're in use. but Mr.. Myers
insisted upon being fixed out with some
mark of his high calling and at last
the thing was accomplished. When he
reappeared at the foot of Kansas ave-
nue. and was stopped by a petty official
he exclaimed, Finland me, villainl"
and proudly displayed the badge of the
assistant city dog catcher

FOR FLOOD FUND.
Percentage of Baseball Receipts for
Relief Work


According to a dispatch from TT. Scott
Gus Alberts has announced that the first
game played in Topeka by the professional
ferers. Twenty per cent of the gross re-
ceipts viii be turned over to the flood
fund This ought to bring out a dig
crowd, as the first game VIII be played
on Sunday, July 49, according to the pres
ent arrangements.
1t is not certain that Topeka will get
the franchise. Frank Kelley of the City
railway said this morning. Yes, the
franchise is bought. Mr.. Alberts so noti-
fed us. and I suppose he knows what he
is talking about. He was going to come
to Topeka Thursday to consult with us
about the location of the baseball park.
but did not arrive. and ] suppose was de-
tanned for some reason. Mr.. Alberts called
me up by telephone in regard to making
arrangements for a park here, but / told
him I could not make any ARA ngement by
telephone and he would have to come TO
Topeka"
The location of the baseball park has net
been selected, but it Will in all probability
be at Ninewood park or some where on the
cars make as good time as 1t is expected
they will, it will not take much longer to
make the trip to Vinewood park than 1t
now takes to go out to the Washburn
Athletic park.
One thing is sure. and that is that the
Nevada team will have to be reconstructed
if it expects to make a successful debut in
Topeka. Topeka must have a good ball
team if it has any. Page, the fast shorts
stop of the T. B. c., ought TO be given a
place on the team.
