New York. Nov 16.-In pursuit of .neir deslre to assist the poor and up- liIt the depraved Robert Hunter and ms Wife, the daughter of the multi millionaire. Anson Phelps Stokes. have Iofsaken their country residence in Noroton. Conn, and their mansion in Maulson avenue, for small brick house In Grove street on the lower west side. Both have devoted several years to work in the slums and were married two years ago while Mir Hun ter formerly of Chicago, was in charge or the university settlement.
 The decision to settle i'll Grove street was made after long study of the condition in the low1y quarters of the city,
 Both MT Hunter and his wife have intimate knowledge of the east side and for long time they were inclin- ed to make their home there. But their investigations led them west of Washington square, and in and around Minetta lane they found the greatest demand for the work they had in mind. For more than two generations this section has be1el looked upon as one. of the blots on the city. The place never is without palfOlman. one being detailed eS- pecially for duty in the street. little more than 300 yards in length.
 Formerly the lane was the center of the fred light district,'' but since the movement uptown the red lights have disappeared, and in their stead have come filthy houses Tn the last couple of years tenement houses of the accepted east side model have haOJ1n fT thn N11 Fos, ed brick structures. and this has made more pressing the demand for ju- dicious settlement work.

Fall River Hills Are Not Making Much
 Headway.

Fall River. Mass, Nov 16.-There was no practical change in the mili situation this morning. The mills gen. orally started up short handed, as on Monday and Tuesday, and number of them continued to run during the forenoon The manufacturers claim to have made slight gains over the first two days of the week, but these claims are not admitted by the labor leaders. The weather continues mild, a factor which will doubtless have q strong influence in inducing many to remain away from the mills at pres- ent

Lppincott Company
Mr. Thorpe has written well rounded biog-
raphy OF the widely known physician. university
chief and public minded citizen to whom Phila-
delphia owes so much. William Pepper was a
man of high aims and varied activities His life
had in it many elements of interest to his fellow
men, and none of these are neglected by his
biographer. Dr. Pepper first attracted atten-
ton at twenty-seven, when he became lecturer
in clinical medicine at the University Of Penn
sylvania. He was a graceful speaker and al
ready gave evidence of the faculty for diagnosis
that later gained him national reputation. AT
twenty-seven too, he gave the first hint Of the
many innovations and reforms that he was
eventually to bring about at the university.
The need Of hospital in connection with the
medical department was urgent. and the young
lecturer championed its establishment with all
the power at his command.
He was, indeed, the moving spirit IN the enter
prise, which finally successful despite APP
parently insurmountabe difficulties. Six years
later he became professor Of clinical medicine,
and in his thirty-seventh year nominated TO
the provostship of the university. This the
crux Of his career. and Mr. Thorpe properly de-
votes much space to showing how he built upon
the good foundation laid by his predecessor
professor Stllle. Mhen Ir. Pepper was CHOSEN
provost the University of Pennsylvania was
mainly splendid medical school; before he

equipped modern university To the task in
Volved in the transformation he not only
brought a high degree Of ability; he contributed
generously from the income gained by his pro-
fessional services. which were in constant de-
mand: he knew how to elicit the cooperation OF
the wealthy; above all, he toiled INCREASINGLY
After resigning the provostship he threw him
self with energy into the civic projects with
which he had already become identified. The
crown Of his career Mr.. Thorpe holds to be
Public Library, the Commercial Museums and
the Free Museum of Science and Art. The i'm
provement OF the city's water supply was an
other project furthered by him, and TO his
credit his biographer also puts IAN entire change
in the attitude of the public mind toward educa-
ton and the ideals Of life" He literally sacri-

collapse, IL 1895 he continued his habits of con-
slant application Mr.. Thorpe speaks of his
state Of mind n disease, and records a re-
Election by DR.. Pepper himself: II did it DELHI
erately, and am not sorry, but must pay the
price" The price almost continuous suf-
fering from disease and sleeplessness I'm the last
