side Home for Aged Women have pub

objects Of the home and the new plan
under which it will be conducted. The
home in its new form is a monument
to the generosity of Mr.. and Mrs. Jona-
than Thomas of Topeka whose liberal
ity has made the reconstruction Of the
home possible.
The board of directors give the fol-
lowing concise statement of the pur-
poses for which the home was founded
and the plan under which it will now
be conducted:

friends for assistance in furnishing, and
the charitable people for money to sus

accepted need. In the expiring sos

friends of the institution resolved to
furnish it a permanent home.
The lots southeast corner of Hun

and paid for and building OF then am

dissipated the finances of few of the
subscribers and the interior of the
building partially failed completion and

extent of fully $4,000. Discouraged, but
not daunted, the women of the associ-

STRIKE THREATENED
Among the Employees of the Govern
ment at Rome.

Rome, Dec. 19-The clerks in the
ministry of public works engaged in a
demonstration today which threatened
to develop into riot or a strike. and
required TIE Intervention of the min
lister and under secretary before the
clerks were pacified. The disturbance
was due to the fact a bill affecting the
interests of the clerks in the ministry
of public works was not discussed in
the chamber of deputies, and the agi-
tation among those clerks began
spreading among the clerks employed
in other ministries. 1t was pointed out
to the clerks that the bill was not dis
cussed because the government could
not keep the deputies in Rome Par1ia-
ment only opened about three weeks
ago but the deputies insist that they
must have their Christmas HOLIDAYS.
