There was much cause for its friends
to question the necessity Of a Day
Home in this city But faith, wait
ing, working, struggling will accom-
plish much in any undertaking. The
promoters of the home as we'll as the |
friends who have contributed to it's
success have a right to feel thankful
that it has during it's short existence
and with it's limited means and IA
cilities accomplished so much good
and has begun to fill a need that over
tops every need in this city The
homes hard struggle for life and for
fair chance to show its wonderful
power to influence children for better
is yet in the present.
The Home opened last December at
G1S Fourth avenue South The last
of May only two children were in at
tendance; the first of July 2S children
were enrolled: the latter part of Aug
ust above so had been enrolled. After
the middle of July the attendance fell
off owing to sickness, the leaving of
the city by parents, and the objection
of some parents to their children be-
ing required to do work during hours,
The attendance now is steadily on
the increase. There are applications
in for children to board by the week
and several to stay in the home by the
day
The Home would be crowded to its
utmost capacity were we able to take
children for a smaller price. The chill
dren who come by the day pay five
cents a day and those who stay by the
week pay 125 a week We have chill
dren who pay less and some who pay
nothing. We have sometimes been
able to get persons to pay for children
whose parents could not pay for them.
Yet there are cOlored men of means
who could be a father to these chill
dren and a blessing to children yet
unborn. If these men would help
these noble-hearted women with their
money and influence to firmly estab-
fish in Nashville a home for children
in which is put a sufficient number of
pure-hearted intelligent Christian
women with the mother instinct to
teach them the hearthstone lessons
that every child should receive at its
mothers knee, and who would seek to
lay as a firm foundation on which to
build character the basic principles Of
right living.
The poor colored woman who has
to toll day after day, late into the
night, whether wife or widow, to sup
port her children deserves help in the
moral and Christian training of them
One struggling mother aptly put the
situation of thousands of colored moth
ers when she said. "I have kent two
houses for years-the 'whitefolks' in
the day and mine at night. Night aft
ar night have I FASTENED home after S
o'clock fearing harm had come to nv
children during the day At night
would have to clean house, make their
clothes. do their washing, and leave
home for my work the next morning
at O'clock, winter and summer.
eff there had just been a home like
this one, would not have had all
this worry, and my children would
have been better trained"

Powder Explosion Across the Bay
Causes People to Believe Town
Was Visited by Earthquake.
Thousands of People Become Panic
Stricken and Stampede, a Num-
Der Being Tramped Upon and
Injured by the Frightened
Crowd.

San FranciscO.-An explosion which
occurred Saturday morning in the Du-
pont powder works at Sobranto on the
bay shore north of Berkeley, caused
panic and the injury of a number
of people in this city. When the ex-
plosion was heard by the thousand en-
ployes of the California Fruit Cannery
association, who were at work in the
big establishment of the company at
the foot of Van Ness avenue, they
thought it was caused by an earth
quake and made a mad rush to escape
to the streets. During the stampede
number of persons were thrown
down and trampled upon So far as
is known no one was killed, but many
were badly hurt. Several ambulances
were at once sent to the scene and
all the aid possible was extended to
the injured.
The main crush occurred in the
main hallway of the building into
which nearly all of the 500 women en-
ployeS rushed. Those below somehow
slammed the heavy doors leading to
the street and the hundreds of women
who threw themselves headlong down
the stairs were crushed again the
barred and bolted exit. Not until
Lieutenant Wright arrived with i
squadron of patrolmen were the doors
opened and the women allowed to
reach the street
