The Latest Philanthropic Enterprise in
London.

bIOOhlyu LdSle.
One of the latest philanthropic enter
prises in the interest of the London
working girl is a hotel that has just
been started by Lord Radstock, who
has for number of years been identi-
fed with important philanthropic move
ments in England. Like other hotels
of this character, this one is designed
to be self-supporting, and is said to
mark the initial step in a big scheme.
A commodious one-story building is
utilized for the hotel and the price is
6 pence night Board can be obtained
for shillings 6 pence week, but an
extra shilling insures a bountiful sup
ply Of good food, which may be OBJ
tanned in the restaurant at any time
desired, from Z am, to $3.50 pm.
An immense marble-lined skating
rink is one of the features of the hotel
Swings and gymnastic apparatus will
be put up and the girls are to be pro-
vided with roller skates.
Bright, we'll furnished sitting rooms
and class rooms, a work-room for sew
ing, a boot room and laundry fitted
with all the modern appliances are at
the service Of the girls. The bedrooms
are light, airy and comfortable, and hot
and cold water baths are free.
Rules in this hotel are said to be
few and not irksome and the only re-
striction with regard to visitors is that
those Of the masculine persuasion must
be entertained in the hall.

SWIFT TELLS A. F. OIL. /
ABOUT MILL BOYCOTT
BY w, w. Jermane.

Washington, March 17.-The execu-
tive council Of the American Federation
of Labor had the Minneapolis -four mill
boycott. up for consideration for a
short time late yesterday afternoon,
when John Swift Of Minneapolis an.
peared before the council to exp lain his
attitude and to defend himself from
charges that he declared the boycott
was unwarranted.
Mr.. Swift declared he wanted to set
himself right before the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor and that what he had
said was simply as an individual and
not as member or an officer Of the
federation or any branch Of it.
Beyond hearing Mr.. Swift's state
ment, there was no disposition of the
case which has agitated Minneapolis
labor circles. It is expected that the
legislative council will give the case
full consideration today and possibly
decision may be announced tonight.

WEARING OF THE GREEN
EVERYBODY CELEBRATES THE
DAY OF ST. PATRICK-ENTER-
TAINMENTS TONIGHT.

st. Patrick IS Day is made the occa-
sion for much social pleasure by many
to whom the day has neither national
nor religious significance. The verdant
decorations associated with the st.
Patrick idea also belong to sthe vernal
season now just beginning, and the fes-,
Invites may be considered as an un-
conscious celebration over the return Of
spring. T. t., $780,.
Every hostess of the day has. used
the shamrock motive and coloring as
the keynote Of her decorative scheme,
and some of the novelties provided for
souvenirs and for bonbons are among
the most attractive and clever Of the
year. The shamrock and the futtering
bit of green ribbon have been a con-
spicuous feature on the streets. The
number of small social affairs has been
large and several dancing parties will
celebrate the closing of che day.
The principal entertainment will be
that of tho Church Of the immaculate
Conception at the Auditorium. Its
financial success is assured, but Father
Cullen wants to fill the great hall for
the sake Of bringing the Irish element
fully into accord and sympathy with
the spirit represented by the building
Of the Auditorium.
The program will be a popular one,
L. Kelly of st. Paul, readings from
R.. C: Bowman, Eugene Field and Rich
ard Harding Davis by Hugh O'Connell,
and music by the Apollo Mandolin
club, the Arion male quartet, Mrs. w.
n. Porteous, Miss Frances Vincent,
Miss Dellene, Miss Augustine, J. Austin
Williams and Charles Laird.
Enterta ailments will also be given by
St. Stephen s., St. Charles and Assem-
sion parishes, and number of Irish Or
CARNATIONS.
The children Of St. Stephens parish
were entertained last night with fine
program Of instrumental and vocal
music. Tonight their elders will be en-
tertained by practically the same per-
formers. .@n -. -,

GROWING BASKET WILLOW
New Enterprise for Inmates Of Wis
consin State Institutions.
Milwaukee Free Press

j.
''The state board Of control has or
dered several state institutions to grow
willow to be used for baskets, and the
first experiment has proved successful, -
said Gustav Kuestermann Of Green Bay.
There is no reason why the state in
mates cannot grow enough willow for
all the baskets that can be made at the
state. workshop for the blind on Vilet
street. That institution is yet in it's
infancy, and all willow has been bought
at high prices. It is brought here from
season it grows three or four feet. and
after that it will grow, six feet high in
ing it and caring for it is almost moth
ing: The only work is in the cutting.
It is planted in long rows, and should
be as profitable as anything that can
be planted upon the ground. When
enough Of the willow is raised for the
use. of the blind they will be able to
make much more, or the cost Of running
the workshop will be less. It costs Z
cost only a fraction Of that when
grown at home.''

MORROW ACQUITTED
Jury In Municipal Court Finds Him No
Guilty.

A jury in municipal court has found
Thomas Morrow, a special officer charged
with embezzlement, not guilty. The evi-

SO from a man named Case who lived
on the beat where he was employed by
John Harmon, but Morrow claimed that
he previously resigned from lannon's
employ and had told Case that he was
conducting the beat on his own respon-
sibility. The jury believed this and as
Case said that the money paid to Morrow
was not intended to be paid to Harmon,
there appeared to be no conversion Of an
others property.
Morrow is now conducting the beat on
his own behalf and has secured the pat
ronage Of several residents.
