A TEMPERANCE SETTLEMENT.
What Lady Somerset Is Doing for the
Women Drunkards.

Recently it was announced that
Lady Henry Somerset had retired
from public life, to devote herself to
rescue work among erring and inebri-
ate women in the settlement at Dux-
hurst, England. 1t is now a decade
since the Duxhurst home was started,
the pioneer establishment of its kind.
1t has grown and developed, proving
the wisdom Of its promoters, who held
that the needs of the individual must
be recognized by special care and sep
arate housing provisions; that the
personal, friendly example, which Is
the salient feature of Christ's minis
try, must be the guiding principle;
and that the crushed, weak and tempt
ed can only be helped as they are led.
1t is in the spirit of this conviction
that she has now gone to Duxhurst,
there to spend the remainder of her
good and useful life. On August she
reached the vantage point of 55 years.
She has been the guiding spirit OF
DuxhurSt from the beginning. 1t was
she who conceived and brought into
existence the attractive cottage colony
on the sunny and sweet-scented slopes
of Surrey, which has been an object
lesson in correct treatment for women
who are slaves of the drink habit and
which has served to bring about need
ed and better legislation for the wom-
en- drunkards of Great Britain and
other countries.
1t is easily seen that the most i'm
portant feature of the Duxhurst col
ony is the novel and wise arrange
bent for the recognition of the indi-
vidual. BY assigning the women to
cottages of six occupants in charge
of a nurse sister, the harm Of contact
with others similarly afflicted is great
ly decreased A healthy home atmos-
phere is created and each individual
can be more readily reached with
helpful influences. The cottages are
simply furnished with just such equip
ment as every self-respecting laborer
ought to have at home-clean, dainty,

part in the various industries which
as the care Of poultry, beekeeping,
dairy work, flower-culture, jam-mak-
Jig and certain amount of laundry
and needle-work. Pleasant outdoor
exercise and occupation is found to
be the best restorative for weakened
nerves and wills. The indoor occupa-
lions include Discriminating by which
a good supply of baskets is produced
for home use and for sale; seed-sort-
ing, which provides a profitable win
ter occupation. Much attention is
given to weaving and knitting, the
products being ress-materials, hucka-
back towels, tablecloths, etc, all of
which find market and help to sup
port the enterprise.
1t is required that each patient shall
have a guarantee of five shillings
($1.25) a week before entering; but
If she is able to earn enough to pay
her expenses through the week, any
thing over that is placed to her credit
and at the end of her stay in the home
is handed back to her in the form of
wages. The cost of maintenance con-
siderably exceeds the receipts from
the patients, reaching as high as $780,
600 in single year, while the income
is about $4,000. Nearly $4,000 pounds,
or about $4,000, is the investment
at DuXhurst, the last remaining sum
having been collected as a surprise
gift fund for Lady Henry Somerset,
on her birthday, by the British Won
ems Temperance association
Lady Henry Somerset, says the
Christian Herald, goes about at Dux-
hurst from cottage to cottage, visiting
with and speaking loving words of
personal spiritual help and encour-
agement to the inmates, who regard
her as a veritable angel of mercy.
She lives in a centrally located little
cottage, simply furnished like the
rest; and her usual attire is that Of
the nurse, full skirt, apron, cap and
kerchief.

Living for the Children.

Froebel's sentiment Come, let US
live for our children" rests on sound
philosophic basis. To live for them is
to call out the noblest impulses OF
parenthood. And we cannot live for
them in the truset sense until We be-
come familiar with their needs. 1t is
in the endeavor to meet those needs
in the largest way possible that we
find our own characters richly recon.
pensed in strong and well-developed
parenthood. We practically become
what we are by what We have done or
left undone, what we are willing or
unwilling to do for odr children The
principle is universal, and should find
its extension and application among
children at all times and in all places.

Times Have Chanued,

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, said in
recent interview: Fifteen or 20
years ago the common meeting place
of a labor union would be a saloon or
the room adjoining saloon, but we
changed all that. I would not say
that it is now never done, but the
whole influence of the federation is
given against it. 1t was not good

Columbia.

Miss Hilda Spong scored easily last
evening in the leading role of Moths, B"
Henry Hamilton's adaptation from the IA
nous novel by "Ouda," and harlotte Wal
ker was no whit less successful in an en-
tirely dissimilar part, these two excellent
bits of work, together with an exceedingly
smooth presentation of the play as a
whole, going to make up one of the most
enjoyable evenings yet afforded by the
Columbia stock company. Moths" while
a tri1e draggy in the first and second acts,
climbs to a sincerely dramatic climax in
the third, with logically sustained interest
in the fourth, or closing, act. AS Vera
Miss Spong depicted with artistic fidelity
the pure, modest and virginia. character of
the home-bred girl thrown, without warn
ing into the whirlpool of an exceptionally
corrupt section of society. Her work was
restrained, true and entirely convincing
and reached the possibilities of every dra-
matte and emotional opportunity
Miss Walkers work in the role of a
rich American girl of the broad and breezy
west was one of the best if not extraor-
dinarily pretentious bits that she has done
here this season. Walter Howe as Lord
Jura played that difficult role with life,
fire and intelligence, his work in the cul-
minating act being particularly worthy of
commentator. Guy Coombs as Raphael
de Correze and Herbert Mckenzie as the
Duke of Null were excellent. The Prince
Zomoff of Guy Nichols was a bit overdone
in heavy villany, but was acceptable other
wise.

1t was reported by Robert Wilson of the
agricultural committee that all of the

Mr.. Wilson also announced that owing
to the late summer all crops, with the
exception Of onions and potatoes, would
be of inferior yield.

bility of draining all the marshes near

OF stopping boys from using firearms on
the public roads, this having become a
common occurrence, and one to which Is
attached considerable danger.
During the meeting the subject OF taxes
was discussed at some length. 1t was stated
that teh taxable property OF the county
had increased during the past year $4S1 600,
of which $4,000 was from the Bethesda
district. The association will endeavor to
to the district in the shape OF road i'm
provements. 1t was the general opinion
that In the past not enough money had been
spent In Improvements in the district when
the large proportion of taxes it pays is

THE TIL TIE R.
National Theater.

In The Fortune Teller" last evening
at the National Theater the Aborn Opera
Company scored again in a season OF ex-
ceptional musical treats. Every one
knows the musical charm of this opera
OF Victor Herberts, and it is cafe to
say that no effect which the composer
contemplated in voice, situation and eli
max was missed by the company The
hnales of each act and the stirring en-
sembles were given with a fullness Of
tone and exceptionally good tempo,
which contributes always so much to
properly interpret this favorite music.
Altogether the performance was so nota-
bic in freshness, spontaneity of humor
and smoothness that it Is hard for the
auditor to realize that it is not the care
full work of a seasons production rather
than the Offering of a weeks lrepara-
ton.

evening in the delightful Gypsy Sweet

OF tone and good color, and the song
brought him repeated recalls.
NO funnier trio of laughmakers are
trlangled In any comic opera than Fresco,

COLLINS HOLDS HIS JOB.
capturer of Speeding Automobiles
Will Not Resign Yet.

The report from Glen Echo to the effect
that Marshal Collins would resign because
OF the action Of the town board ordering
him not to carry his revolver beyond the
town limits seems to have been erroneous,
as the automobile chaser was working yes-
terday and succeeded in capturing an al
legged speed violator.
The arrest was made on the strength of
warrant issued for Mr.. John A. Lutz, who,
1t Is stated, lives at 1915 Calvert street
northwest 1t Is averred that on Saturday.
while the marshal was off duty, Mr.. Lutz
went through the town at speed of thirty
tve miles an hour, but failed to see James
OBrien, president of the Glen Echo Law
and Order League, who took up the job of
marshal and applied for a warrant for
Lutz's arrest. Mr. Lutz did not know of
this and was quietly rolling along the Con-
duit road yesterday when Marshal Collins
served the warrant Mayor Garrett Who
was holding court, demanded $50 collateral,
which was furnished.
The case of John H. Poole, who was ar
rested last Wednesday for disorderly con-
duct. was also tried, and the offender was
fined IS.
