WERE NOT TO BLAME.
Soldiers Home Authorities
Regret Death of Mr.. Mum,
He Appeared to be in Good circumstances and
Said He Would Later Make Himself Eli
gbIe 10 Enter the Home.

President A. B. stronach and superin-
tendent Brooks regretted very much to read
in yesterdays News and Observer Of the
death by suicide of Mr.. D. A, Mum, a
Confederate veteran at his home in High
Point. In his letter addressed to his SON
in-law found after his death, Mr.. Mum
said:
ITO my children, T. L. Mann and
l.. j. Parsons. Having been disap-
pointed in everything on earth l now
commend my soul to God. | have
tried to get work and failed 1 went
to the Soldiers Home and failed to
get in and came back to High Point TO
try for a job. When l offered to pay
my hotel bin this morning l found
that my pocket book containing
about $50 had been taken from my
pocket. 1 cannot get work, to beg l

live on the charity of my children.
sold my watch for $3.50 to get money
to pay my hotel BILL l owe no man
cent as far as l know Of I am now
about to take a fatal dose of lauda-
mum. l guess l am somewhat dement,
cd. May God have mercy on my soul
and may He protect and preserve my
children and guide them into the
Heaven of eternal rest.
"Affectionately,
I'D. A. Num-
May Goth. 1903"
Asked as to the statement Il went to
the Soldiers Home and failed to get in, :"
Mr.. Stronach said:
''As soon as l read of the distressing
death of Mr.. Mum l communicated with
superintendent Brooks and he said that
a very nice and intelligent booking gentle
man, an old soldier of that name, visited
the Soldiers Home last week and desired
to become an inmate. 1t was explained to
him that, whise he could stay awhile and
mingle with his old comrades, he could not
be admitted because he was drawing a
pension. The law is very strict, provid-
ing that no veteran can draw pension
and at the same time receive the care of
the Home. He understood it fully and af-
ter staying awhile at the Home, said he
to surrender his pension and
make applications for admission to the
Home. At his request Superintendent
Brooks furnished him with blank appli-
cation, which he took home with him. He
was not only an intelligent looking man,
but seemed to be well supplied with
money"
This statement is printed here to show
the spirit that governs the Home and the
avs under which it must live OF course
the laws are modified temporarily when
ever humanity calls for it. and Mr. Mum
could have remained until he could have
been regularly and legally admitted if he
had desired. The Homo is capable of ac-
comfortably 100 soldiers.
There are now 1913 present in the Home.
The appropriate is only S1OS per year for
100 veterans, and its only with close econ
omy in this day of high-priced living that
the authorities are able to live within their
income.

BAD GIRL SENT AWAY.
Bridgitta COIOnna, Cherry Hill Leader
May BE Reformed, Judge Thinks.

Brigitta Colonna, the Italian girl Of IS
James street, whose arrest on Tuesday
night brought to light the fact that some
of the girls of the Cherry Hill neighborhood
carry revolvers and form a sort OF women q
auxiliary to the Monk Eastmans and other
male gangs OF the quarter, was sent yes
terday, by Justice Olmsted in the Children's
Court, to the House of Refuge.
Justice Olmsted asked Mrs. Sage, the
wardens wife, to keep an eye on the girl.
as her conduct had been such in the Gerry
society rooms and in the court as to make
the Court think that there was much hope
of reforming her. Since her arrest she has
been very quiet and, in an unostentatious
way, has been noticed from time to time
behaving kindly to the younger children
who were waiting arraignment.
~She seems to have a warm heart said
Justice Olmsted, in sentencing her, and
I think that removal from her environ
ment in James street will be beneficial.
Her associates have taught her many foul
expressions, and when her mother has
rebuked her with improper language she
has replied in kind. She has been allowed
TO do about as she pleased, except when her
mother fitfully made efforts to curb her.
The girl was the belle of the quarter and
was pretty even in spite of her poor clothing.
She IL Is years old. In James and neighbour
ing streets where children swarm the dis
position OF her case was the young peoples
topic of discussion. She's heroine there,
lust as the Monk EastmanS are heroes to
the young girls and men Of the neighbor-
hood
