NINE BABES DOWN
WITH THE MEASLES
Bedding, Food and Help
Are Badly Needed at
Orphans Home

With Billy Sunday pounding the
town on the back, stricken Italy
standing at the worlds door, and
need for help coming from every
quarter at home and abroad, addi-
--tionai appeals are apt to find a
chilly reception, but here 10 one
that cannot be overlooked:
Out at the Orphans Home OF
Spokane, E1o Liberty avenue, nine
children of the 80 there are In bed
with measles.
That 10 bad enough In itself, but
the home has not sufficient bedding
to make the changes required for
care Of the sick. The little ones
can only be made more comforta
BILE and their chances Of recovery
strengthened by snatching off the
bedcIothing and washing II when
It is possible to deprive the patient
for a short time.
Under unavoidable conditions
these little sick ores are all crowd
ed In one small room In order to
prevent the spread Of the disease
as much as possible.
The sick also need nourishine
food, soupbones or anything out Of
which good, substantial broth may
be made for the sufferers.
And the management needs help
In taking care Of them. II someone
who can spare the time will voIun
teer to help, whoever 1t Is will earn
a debt Of everlasting gratitude and
will also have done an Immense
amount Of practical good. The
babies are lying there In their
fever a. patiently as possible, for
they realize what the circumstances
are and are trying to make the
best Of Il. SIS
Sheets and pillow cases are what
ls. needed most In the line Of bed
ding. II you can spare anything
Of the sort call up Main S203 or
send Il to the home. Mrs. L. NJ
Dey is the superintendent, but
there will be- somebody there II she
10 out. The force consists Of a
statron, COOK and assistant. You
can imagine what they have to dc
with so little ones to care for and
nine Of them sick In bed-to say
nothing Of. having the least to dc
with.
At the home now there are two
girls, age rs and IA, and boy Of
IL, who are awaiting adoption into
good families. Anyone interested
can secure all necessary informa'
ton from Mrs. Dey.
But the babies with the measles
are the big issue at the home now
and II you can help them any, you
viii never have another occasion
TO-, do so where help is so much
needed.

they leave the BILLY" Sunday tab

possible will be worked on the pub
lie.
This is the determination reach
ed by a committee composed OF
Mayor Moore, Chief Of Police Rice,

ciated Charities and Rev. w. l..
Bull, which met this morning in the
mayors office. Mayor Moore will

Of feeding the homeless men dur
ing the time they will be unable
to get employment The plan was
submitted to the committee by
Chief Rice and it was readily adopt
ed, being the best that had been
laid before them.
BY 1880 o'clock today $144.S5
had already been subscribed to the
fund. This amount is composed of
donations made as follows Rev,
Bull $50; Senator George Turner,
$50; Mrs. DR.. Hughes, IS; j. A.
McComb. $40; James Miner, S25;

gency fund, no hand outs" should
be given out by any of the people
of the city. When a housewife Is
asked for something to eat by a

send him to the relief committee,
of which Mr.. Hollway and myself
will be in charge" stated Chief
There will never be any more
tickets issued for meals than there
is money to pay for from this fund,
and the number of tickets that will
be issued to each man per day will
depend to great extent upon the
mans worthiness. Not only will
the whole bunch of men be in
spected by Mr.. Hollway and his
assistants as q means of determin-
ing mans standing, but an Of

stationed at the Sunday taber-

from among the deserving.
I'VE do not want donations of

cause we have no facilities for

SLUGGISH. TORPID MARKET.
Spectators in. Waiting Mood-u. s.
Steel Steady and Quiet.

New York. July 23.-The sluggish
and torpid state of the stock market
today was significant of waiting
mood on the part of the speculation.
The event waited with most interest
at present undoubtedly is the meet
ing of the United States Steel direc-
tors on next Tuesday to act on the
quarterly dividend. Speculative opin-
on has about reconciled itself to the
view that there will be no change IN
the dividend rate at that time. There
was less fear today that this would be
attended by active selling of the
stock and a decline in the quotation.
United States Steel was steady and
quiet today, and conveyed the assur-
ance by it's action that the peg had
been inserted again at above 10, which
had been withdrawn successfully at
~ and at II on the downward course
from the maximum price at 70, which
was touched last Saturday. A hope
full feeling was impaired to specula-
tive holdings of the United States
Steel also by the action of Amalga-
mated Copper. The rise in this stock,
which is paying dividend at the rate
of per cent, to above "a caused it
to be cited as evidence of what could
be done with the price of an indus
trial security paying 2 per cent. and
with prospects. The recent IL per
cent. quarterly dividend on Amalga :
mated Copper had been preceded by
rumors of an intended increase. The
immediate influence in the rise Of
Amalgamated Copper today was the
active market at advancing prices for
copper warrants in the London mar
ket. This gives rise to hopes that the
accumulation of copper stocks in sec
ond hands in Europe may be in pro-
cess " lusOrpti. n The exports of
copper from the United States, how
ever, fell during the past week to less
than half of the total for the preced-
ing week. The rise in the price of
warrants in London was accompanied
by the marking up of the bid price at
the metal exchange in New York.
There were reports that one of the
large producers was taking no more
orders for delivery beyond October, in
the confidence that prices will be
higher by that time. Crop news was
mainly favorable with the exception
of some reports of hot winds that
might cause deterioration in the corn
crop. This did not prevent a rise in
Rock Island. classed as one of the
principal corn carriers. The strength
of occasional stocks in the list and,
even more, the renewed support ac-
corded United States Steel was eff
fective in holding the general market,
in spite of the semi stagnation Oh the
