chIIdrsn's Industrial Farm.
In California, 20 miles from Santa
Rosa. is one OF the Army's greatest in:
stitutions--the Lytton Springs Chill
dren's Industrial farm of $50 acres.
Once II was a sanitarium and summer
retreat. People went there to get the
benefits of the mineral waters, the
balmly air. the glorious vistas below
and fern-carpeted canyons behind. On
1t there was big hotel and ten cot
tages, and these erstwhile abodes OF
the sick and weary are now the haunts
and homes of happy children.
About five years ago the Salvation
Army, working on the principle that
the country is the right place to bring
up children, founded the home. 1t
was the outgrowth of small home
maintained by the order in San Fran
cisco. Maj. c. w. Bourne and his wife
were installed as superintendent, and
the useful career Of marvelously use
full institution was begun. 1t is now
the home of about 200 happy. healthy
and most useful children. The boys
are learning to be skillful farmers and
dairymen and the girls to be model
housekeepers-and all Of them to be
good citizens. Much of the produce
of the farm is sold in San Francisco.
Rescue and Maternity Home.
or all its institutions. the Salvation
Army in Chicago is perhaps proudest
of the Rescue and Maternity Home.
or this the present matron, Mrs. En-
sign Smith, writes:
Our social operations and coloni-
zation schemes met the hearty APP
prevail of the socialistic minded. Our
children's homes and even slum posts
excited the admiration of philan-
thropists, but Just depict poor girl
strayed from the path of virtue and
rectitude, or one stepped in vileness,
and the majority of your listeners
would either ridicule or turn their Of
Tended moral nostrils away in disgust.
Whence shall the poor, fallen girl turn
when the whole world is against her?
1t was the practical answer to this
momentous question from the myriads
of submerged daughters that opened
the rescue home, and the western
metropolis was not one whit behind
her sister cities, for in 1895 our insti-
tuition was formally opened"
Five times the home was moved to
more commodious quarters. and its
work has increased steadily. Last
year 63 children were born there. The
total number Of girls received during
the year was 1875. About so of the
girls who have been in the home re-
turn regularly for the monthly meet
ings. Scores of them are now happily
married and settled down in good
homes and with loving husbands.
What sociologists find to praise most
in the Salvation Army's maternity
homes is the fact that every effort Is
made to induce the unfortunate young
mothers to keep their children. This
is admittedly the most potent factor
in their moral regeneration.
Surely" says Matron Smith. God
alone can comprehend the inestimable

NEW YORK. Dec. 1S.-The dead
lock in the National League of Pro-
fessional Baseball Clubs over the
election OF a president was unexpect-
eddy broken his afternoon by the
unanimous selection OF Thomas J.
Lynch. whose name has not been con-
sldered OF publicly mentioned for The
position. There is reason to believe
that the league presidents held Sc
cret conference which did not end IN.
iii two o'clock this morning. at which
the supporters of John NJ Ward, oil
New York. and Robert w. Brown, OF
Louisville. came TO an understanding.
1; was understood that each side, see
ing the other equally firm. instructed
John T. Brush, OF the New York club,
to select a man whose name had no,
been before the league as a candi-
date.
Brush consulted meme Of his col
leagues, but telegraphed To New Brl-
tain, Conn, for Thomas J. Lynch to
come 10 New York at once.
When fhe league met today three
ballots were taken, all of them re-
sul;ing In the same time: Foar for
Ward and four for Brown. Then. APP
parently by agreement. President ED-
bits, of Brooklyn club, read a letter
from Ward in which he withdrew
from the contest. At the same time

drew Browns name
Following the pre-arranged plan,
BTush then nominated Lynch, refer

The seven ether magnates quickly
seconded the nomination and the cleo
ton was made unanimous.
Reydler Secretary Treasurer.
Ebbitts then nominated John A.
Heydler for secretary treasurer, a po-
sition which he has filed continuous
" for many wears. There was a hitch,
but 1t was explained that Heydler
would not accept the appointment for
che year and after conference he
was nominated for three years and
unanimously elected.
Lynch's election is for one year.
After the NEE ting Lynch and Heyd-
Ter were formally introduced to the
newspaper men. Both made speeches.
Lynch is 81 years old and was fer
long time a resident of Cincinnati
before going to Connecticut.
To the reporters he said:
The hardest thing the president
OF the league has to do Is to protect
