PLAN NEW HOME.
An Addition to the Dependent Lutheran
Children Home TO Cost S13, 900.

Children Home TO Cost S13 900.
A $4,000 brick building for the
Lutheran Home Cor Dependent children
in this city will probably be erected
next summer. Tbs project was dis
cussed at the twelfth annual meeting
of the Kinderfreund society at Imman-
uel lutheran church. Garfield Avenue
and Twelfth Street, last Sunday night.
A deficit of 81 ,O53.53 in the funds of
the society was shown by the report of
Treasurer Richard Schmidt, the dis
bursements of the past year having
exceeded the receipts by $l,l79.25, but
it is thought that an appeal to the
1890 members of the society will result
not only In the liquidation of the debt,
but in the raising of sufficient funds to
build the new home.
THE present building is inadequate
for the needs of the home," said the
Rev. G. Eissfeldt, superintendent of
tuition and the work that it is doing
warrants the erection of modern
building that shall meet the needs of
the institution and result in still
greater increase in the number of
children cared for and placed in homes. :"
The new home will be erected on the
present site and will be equipped to
care for IA much larger number of
children than are now in the home. A
two-story building, 66x42 feet is
planned The Kinderfreund looks
ahead to the time when the home will
care for Mt least twice the number of
children now under its supervision.
An assistant superintendent will be
appointed during the year, as the num-
Der of children coming to the home
and the number of applications for
children have made it impossible for
Supt. Eissfeldt to give as much atten-
ton as necessary to all cases.
Six directors were chosen, They are
the Rev. b. p. Nommensen, the Rev. IL.
Giescheu. win Ricl<meyer, II. II.
Uhrens, Francis Ruenzel and w. f,
Piepenbrink.
The annual report of the superinten-
dent showed that eighty-two children
were taken into the home during the
wear, OF which forty-seven were girls
and thirty-fiye Were boys. Twenty-Five
of this number were taken only temp
orarily, aud forty-fv were babies nm
der year. Fourty-four were placed
in homes and seventeen were replaced.
Forty-eight applications for children
were received. The total number of
children cared for in the home was 1877
of whom forty-hve were in the home
on September |, 1908.

John D. Wehrie. Pub.


The department of commerce and
labor has just issued a publication en-
titlod Statistical Record of the Prog
ress Of the United States, 1S00-1907,"
which furnishes great deal of timely
and highly suggestive information. Il
is shown in this work how the country
has advanced in material things. and
an especially interesting part of the
exhibit is that which relates to the
financial progress since 1897. 1t APP
pears that on July 1, 1907, there was
in circulation in the United States the
sum of s2,773 900, 900, against $2.7S6,-
100000 in July, 1906, and $3.50. 100000
in 1897. In total bank deposits the
showing was s13,OOO,OOO,OOO in 1907,
against $1,000, 100000 in 1897. This is
a presentation which proves how the
circulation and the bank deposits have
kept pace with the growing needs of
business and have illustrated the gen.
eral prosperity of the country, says
the Troy IN. " Times. And the
progress is likely to be accelerated by
the steps recently taken to afford
needed financial facilities.

MORE MINERS DIE.
About $50 Are This Time Buried in
the Hills of Pennsylvania
by an Explosion.

Jacobs Creek, Pa.-An explosion OF
gas in the Darr mine of the Pittsburg
Coal company, located here, Thursday
entombed between 200 and $50 miners
and there is scarcely a ray of hope
that single one of them will be
taken from the mines alive Partially
wrecked buildings in the vicinity of
the mine and the condition of the few
bodies found early in the rescue work
indicate an explosion of such terrific
force that it seems impossible that
any one could have survived it. All
of the Is bodies taken out up to this
time are terribly mutilated and three
of them are headless
This is the third mine disaster
since the first of the month in the
veins of bituminous coal underlying
Western Pennsylvania and West Vir-
ginia for the Naomi mine near Fay
cite City and the two mines at Mo-
nongha, w. Va, in which the earlier
explosion happened are in the same
belt as the local workings. Thurs
days catastrophe swells the number
of victims of deadly mine gas for the
10 days to between $50 and 600.

counter on Floor of the House.

Neutrality-suspicious. Sharp Williams,
of Mississippi, leader of the minority,

mond, of Missouri, engaged in a fist
fight over the passing of the lie on the
floor of the house of representatives
Thursday afternoon Immediately af-
ter adjournment at 2:21 p. m. Mr.
Williams struck the first blow and
Mr.. DeArmond retaliated vigorously
with clenched fists. When the COM
batants were separated blood was
flowing down Mr.. Williams face from
small cash in the left cheek and
his forehead was red and abrazed.
Mr.. DeArmond bore no mark of the
fray. The encounter was witnessed
by more than 100 members of the
house and by as many more persons
in the galleries, among them a score
of women.

Hit Him Again. He's Got No Friends.
COOLEY, OLD YEAR.
BY Clifford Kane Stout.

Good-by, Old Year. your mission ends
With midnight chimes and all is done;
The records writ with Joy or less,
The deeds fulfilled and guerdons won
Are hung as trophies round thy rime,
And thou are named with olden time
Forevermore ;oh, fateful past,
That saw so much no law can change,
Beginning and the end of things
That were to be. the new and strange,
The old and worn and bloom and blight,
Passed to the dark or born to light
And, oh, for some happy year;
Sweet wedding bells rang joyously;
Old friends c'asped hands and strangers
met.
And sunshine fell so slad and free
On buoyant youth. and smiles were fair,
And laughter bantered pain and care.
Some tears must fall in every year;
Your portion came when grief had set
A badge of mourning on the hearts
OF some whose love could not forget,
And hopefully, without dismay,
They covered friends of yesterday.
Good-by, Old Year; we regret the New;
When we recall your gifts and cost
May then double portion show
Thy favors won Ger which was lost.
Good-byi A hand at parting; then
A benediction and amen.

Prosperity and West Point.

The present shortage of 20 or more
in the authorized strength of the
cadet corps at West Point is not ex-

cent years an increasing number of
appointees who have failed to report

HAVE YOU HATED YOURSELF?
Now Is the Time to Turn Over the
New Leaf.

How have you hated yourself dur
ing the past year for doing the mean,
contemplate, questionable thing! Yet
you have tried to console yourself
with the great good you could do with
the money you made by it. 1t is
astonishing how men will play with
the poison of dishonesty, which is so
insidious at first, which intoxicates
and stimulates one. but paralyzes and
kills later, says DR.. Marden in Success.
If every youth were only taught that
to be successful a man must be great
er than his occupation; that his char
acter must not be for sale at any
price; that he will always be rich so
long as he retains it, and just in pro-
portion to its strength and integrity,
and weak and unhappy and a failure
no matter how much money he may
have, just in proportion to the weak
ness of his character; if he only
started out with the conviction that
only one real failure is possible, and
that is the loss of self respect, the
barter of ones character, either for
pleasure or for money; if the youth
were only taught that he cannot afford
to deceive even a little bit in the
quality of goods he is selling, or in
the quality of the service he is giving,

civilization

Liberia has lately lost nominal con.
troll of part of the territory over which
the congress of the black republic was
supposed to exercise sovereignty. A
new treaty with France has been ne
.gotiated, delimiting the boundaries of
ghe republics country to the advan
tage of France. The French insist
that in view of the ignorance of the
natives in the interior of the existence
of any Independent government on the
coast, it is not encroachment on an in
dependent power for the French to
push their boundaries seward. As
Liberia is an Independent power, the
protection of its territory is a matter
for its government, and not for out,
siders. American friends of the coun.
try may regret that the experiment of
setting up negro republic has not
been more successful. but they must
face the facts.
