Plan at DObbs Ferrg.

The cottage colony OF the New-York Juvenile
Asylum at Dobbs Ferry held two hundred orphans
last night who had moved from the cheerless stone
buildings 176th-st. and Amsterdam-ave. which
the asylum has occupied for more than half a
century. Fifteen small cottages OPEN

the funds warrant the erection of more cottages
the capacity of the institution has been reduced from
thousand to three hundred. All the children to
benefit by the cottage colony tenement
house waits, many of whom have never trees
and grass growing in Central Park.
The cottages surrounded by nearly three
hundred acres of woodland and field. To the west
the land slopes sharply away to the Hudson. and
falls precipitately away on the other side to the
SawmiIl River Valley. The directors OF the asylum
determined to try the cottage settlement scheme
largely because of the Investigations made by john
Seeley Ward, 1r., of the directors, who made
an extensive study Of the system worked out in
area, incIosing q kte-shaped plot nearly a mile
long The cottages already buff are at the north
ern end of the kite. while little church stands at
the southern point. The cottages all follow the
same general plan, but enough diversified not

accommodate five hundred children mas been built,
and also 4 power house to furnish electric light
ing and heat for the entire settlement. There Is
an athletic field 400 by coo feet and 4 small farm
of twenty-five acres has been laid out, where ex-
perts will instruct the boys in intensive agricult-

be confined in any prison, Jail or other place OF
Incarceration for the violation of any laws OF
the government of the United States of America,
1t is hereby ordered that all contracts which
shall hereafter be entered into by officers OF

Union. the territories Of the United States
contiguous thereto shall, unless otherwise pro-
vided by law, contain stipulation forbldding. in

posed by courts Of the several States, territories
