Miss Frances Day mas done more
for the poor children Of the state of
New Jersey than all the charitable So
cieties put together. She is the state
superintendent of the New Jersey
board of ehildren's guardians. This
BOARD looks out for the pauper children
Of the commonwealth When Miss Day
was appointed she found the unfortu-
nate little ones herded In the county
and city poorhouses. They were neg
lected and III educated. Miss Day
does not think an institution is the
best place for a child. and so she set
to work to find homes for wards Of the
state. That was twenty years ago
Now she has worked a revolution.
When a destitute child has relatives
she looks these up and usually induces
them to give the waif a home. If there
are no relatives. she finds some lonely
welcome and places It there. If the
child Is still on her hands after all
these means have been tried. she finds
some worthy person who will take It
to board at the expense Of the state.
SO this little woman IN a quiet and IN
obtrusive way has gone on bettering
the conditions Of New Jerseys home
less children. So everywhere noble
hearted women are giving their time
and lives to making the conditions
about them better.

Dubuque. Oct 7.-One of the latest
developments under the Hepburn rail-
road law is the opinion which the at
torney for the Hartman lines has
handed down in reference to allowing
travel on the railroads on free trans
portation OF at half fare rates. The at
torney's opinion will be made the sub
iect of discussion at the meeting of
the Transcontinenta Passenger asso-
citation when it meets in Chicago.
AT a recent conference between the
head of the legal department of the
Hartman line and Mr.. Hartman the
subject was up for discussion and the
chief counsel was asked for an opinion
on the matter. Notice of that opinion
has just been received In it the attor-
ney holds that Salvation Army officers
and workers are not ministers of re-
ligion under the Hepburn law and
therefore they are not entitled to free
transportation or half fare rates. The
opinion holds that within the meaning
of the statute ministers are only those
who have been regularly ordained by
the various recognized denominations
Another phase of the question is
brought out by the chief counsel, who
gives it as his opinion that the army
officers and workers can not come I'M
der the charity clause of the Hepburn
act because there can be no assurance
that they are engaged in ellemosynary
or charitable work when travelling.
