THE NEwsRoYs' CLUB.

Perhaps there is not more commend
able institution in the city, and none
more far-reaching in its aims and scope,
than the Newsboys' club. 1t was first
proposed by Mrs. John White, a devoted
the need of boys whose work took them
at all hours of the day and night upon
the streets. 1t was Mrs. White who saw
the need of a refuge home for women
and helped inaugurate movement
which resulted in the establishment Of
the Mercy Home.
Something over two years ago Mrs.
White, Mrs Florence Randolph, Judge
Houghton and others called the boys to-
gether With view to organizing a club,
meeting for the first time in the Pente-
costal mission rooms on Second avenue,
where short talks and music was the
order of the evening
For the want of finances the project
would have perhaps fallen through, when
Judge Feagin gave a helping hand by
paying three months rent in advance
and opening a room in the city hall on
Fourth avenue, in which, as he said, Ito
build character" And this is what is

kindly administration of the directors,
for the Newsboys' club has a charter
and is a live and growing institution,
Differed by members from its ranks.
Mrs. w. II. Jeffries has given heart and
time in instructing them Sunday after
moons in the ways of righteousness, be-
lievng that no citizenship can stand that
is not founded upon the truth of God.
From time to time the boys have had

them by outside friends, among them
Jacob Riis of New York and Miss Rena
Mosier; and they have had musicals,
stereopticons, etc.
Recently Miss Charlie II. Garner OF
Columbus, Miss who Is an organizer in
the Loyal Temperance Legion work, gave
several instructive talks and practical
demonstrations at the club. The sub
ject took strong hold on the boys and
many Of them proved their convictions
by signing the temperance pledge, This
fact alone lays a responsibility on every
Christian man and woman in the com
munity If Christians Especially moth
ers) do not stand by the boys, the open
places of niquity are ready TO entice
them.
For want of funds the rooms are open
only from until 10 a. M, and from 1890
until $3.50 p. m. 1t is the ultimate aim
of the promoters of this institution to
have larger headquarters with class
rooms and a swimming pool, and to keep
open night and day. Friends wishing
to forward these plans will communi-
cate with Judge Feagin or Mrs. Jeffries.
Miss Garner has made many practical
suggestions, among them that butter
milk counter be opened at the club for
the boys at noon through the summer
months She relates many beautiful tes-
tmonals from the boys gathered since
her acquaintance with them here, and
believes that whoever will invest heart
and means in these boys will reap a
reward of splendid citizenship. She be-
lieves that it will be an encouragement
to the boys to have interested friends
drop in and see them, and is sure that
whoever visits the club will receive in
spiration for the practical solution of
many civic and educational problems.

Asheville \. c., June 16.-(speeial)-
! am nothing of an Anglo-maniae, but
1 always give a gasp of delight when
ever I see anything as English looking
as this picturesque hotel The MINOR,
which dawned upon me today in Abe
marie park. I have been quite con-
WINGED in recent years that much energy
has been wasted in summer hotels, and
that real happiness was to be found only
in big country house.
The present tendency toward country
life. and particularly one summer spent
in a country house where your hostess
will let you live your life all day IN her
garden until the butler tells you, half
alphabetically, that dinner is served will
make any one n convert to living in the
country. On the other hand, when after
train journey with a little drive at the
end you come upon a rambling, quaint
Ideal looking English inn, you look about
your surroundings with a eontentment
born of bodily comfort and wonder what
ever possessed you to say seornful things
of summer hotels.
Despite the pronounced tendency that
has seized Americans to spend more time
in the country, the managers of hotels
are in no ways alarmed. There will al
ways be a large and fashionable contin-
gent to be found in the luxurious hotels
and at this season the tide of summer
travel from the south is toward the
North Carolina resorts. In the more
sumptuous hotels the very acme Of lux
ury is reached; the cuisine IS perfect,
and when the charms of climate and
mountain and river are so ideally blend
ed as they are in western North Caro-
lima, the most blase summer Traveller can
not fail to be contented.
The summer hotels, at least those
which have the wealthiest patronage,
are in point of equipment the equal of
many of the luxurious hotels in the
cities, and the guests are in every way
as comfortable as in the well appointed
hotels in town The modern summer
hotel is so arranged that private suites,
including perfectly appointed bath rooms,
may be had, a delightful change from
some Of the older and famous hotels,
where such a luxury as tiled bath
room was unheard of, and where much
discomfort of various kinds was UNDER
gone. Americans, that is, the wealthy
and leisure classes, demand luxury. They

DECEPTIVE THERMOMETER.
Cold Is Not Altogether a Matter of
 Degree Reading.
Chicago Tribune


 Chicago Tribune.
 When one learns that four deaths and much suffering resulted from the sudden fall in the temperature of Tues day, when the lowest point recorded by the thermometer was a few degrees above zero, he naturally imagines that the arctic explorer who faces the low temperatures of the polar regions must be exposed to conditions almost be- yond human endurance. Zero weather seems comparatively mild when one learns that at Werchojansk, Siberia, the temperature was 90 degrees on Jan. 15. 1885. and that this place, which is the coldest spot in the world, frequent ly undergoes a mean temperature dur ing January of 56 degrees below zero.
 But the low temperatures of the polar regions do not result in such great suf- fering among explorers as one may imagine. A temperature of zero, ac- companied with high humidity and a fierce gale. may result more fatally in the temperate zone than a temperature of 50 or so degrees below zero where the high humidity and wind are absent. The arctic explorer does not fear the extreme cold so much as he does the long period of darkness. the restricted and limited diet, and the diseases re- sulting from insufficient nourishment.
 In his Three Years of Arctic Ser vice. Lieutenant Greedy speaks of the comparative ease with which frost bites may be axoided in extremely low temperatures by using simple and we'll known precautions. His observations on this point would seem to be con-
