A veritable "old maids paradise" is
located in Scituate. That ancient
South Shore town bears the distinction
of possessing fund of which the pro-
ceeds are devoted to the care of de-
pendent maiden women.
So - far as the Scituate Selectmen
know there is not life fund under
the supervision of town anywhere in
the state. More than a quarter of a
century ago Miss Eliza jenkins decid-
ed that women approaching the sere
and yellow leaf of life, who had. like
herself, remained single from cl-oice
or otherwise, should be provided for
when they became dependent wholly
upon themselves. The idea of an old
folks home in Scituate was at that
time entirely out of the question. Miss
Jenkins straightway did the next best
thing and left fund of $4,000, the
interest of which is yearly distributed
among the worthy maidens of the
town.
The jenkins fund has always been
in charge of the Selectmen. In the last
few years they have placed about 500

The program at the Peoples Sunday
Alliance last Sunday afternoon at 26th
and Clarkson, was the commemoration
of the birth of the late Fredrick Doug
las. A large audience was present to
have their memories refreshcned of the
great things accomplished by this noble
hero. The meeting was called to order
by President A. j. Fitzpatrick, who af-
ter few brief and commendable re-
marks on the Immortal Douglas, an
nounced the numbers on the program.
Music was furnished by the Azalia
Hackley Choral club The invocation
by Rev. j. E. Williams was followed by
papers by Mrs. Ida DePriest and H. w.
Wade. The principle address was made
by G. A Franklin, who revealed the
great work of this notable man. Mr..
Franklin is quite an interesting talker
and never fails to probe out the best of
any topic. The tAlliance is recogniz-
ed as a great forum for the colored peo-
pie of Denver, and on account of the
volums of good being accomplished by
this organization it is fast advancing in
popularity.

AID FOR DEPENDENT WOMEN

each in the hands OF half a dozen per-
sons. This odd fund has benefited per-
sons in Scituate for so many years that
the townspeople have come to regard
it as very common institution: it is
available only for native born women,
and this is about the only restriction
its donor made.
Many a person has been helped in
the last twenty-five years to pay off
mortgage, buy fuel for the winter
months or purchase seeds for the
spring planting through this fund. The
Selectmen know pretty nearly every
one in the town, and it is comparative
ly easy for them to discriminate be-
tween the worthy and unworthy.
Soon after Miss Jenkins thoughtfully
provided for the "old maids" another
maiden woman, Miss Lucy Thomas.

for widows. She left $1,000, also un-

native born widows. Interest has been

New Hampshire people have not yet
forgotten the reign of terror which
the Inauguration of Gov. Goodell, fif-
teen years ago, gave to the liquor deal
ers of the state.
New Hampshires temperance gov
ernor began his administration by
public proclamation, warning the
liquor dealers of his intention to en-
force the laws against the illegal sale
of intoxicants. Then he discovered
that, while New Hampshire was pro-
hibition state, there were no legal
tools at hand, in the shape of admin
istrative laws. by which the governor
could prohibit; but the rumsellers
did not know this, as the ex-governor

following is from letter dated Jan

perhaps straiten you to send 10
