loar for his cripples' home absolutely free
Of charge.
The home is ideally situate for Its new
purpose. 1t stands near Alton, on the
Hampshire Downs, one of the healthiest
spots in England, and is only a few miles
from Aldershot, the great military camp.
The elevation is about 500 feet above
sea level and there is nothing to arrest
the soft breezes from the English chan
mel. The grounds. which are about sew
enty acres in extent, lie along the side of
a hill. At the top is the governors house
and the administration buildings which
overlook the whole. A little lower down
are the nurses quarters and nesting un-
der the shelter of the hill is the home
itself.
Arrangement Entirely Unique.
The arrangement is probably unique
and is made possible by the
space which was at the architects dis
posal. There are twenty wards, each con-
tanning twelve beds, and each ward stands
by itself. They are arranged in a sCmi-
circle and running round the inside Of
the circle Is a covered way, communicate
ing with each ward. At the outer end
of each ward there is a sun parlor. The
wards, of course, are only one story high.
They are built of pitch pine, on brick
supports, rising out of a concrete floor,
and there is a free circulation of air
over and under and on all sides of them.
All the sanitary arrangements are away
from the wards themselves. tuate as
they are, there is, of course, a maximum
Of sunlight.
In addition to the wards there is a
school for older boys. The majority of
| fba naffanfG will ha Lass than 10 wars
old, but about fifty boys from 1S to IS
will be taken, and while they are being
! cured of their infirmities they will be
taught trades. The smaller patients will
also receive the ordinary schooling while
they are inmates Of the home.
The whole institution Is now In full
running order and is in charge of DIR.
II. j. Gauvain, who showed me round the
wards. Apart altogether from his quail
ifications as a medical man. no better
man could have been selected for the post
than DR.. Gauvain. He is a genuine lover
of children, and, although the home had
only been open three weeks at the time
of my visit, he knew every one OF the
hundred little patients by name. They
all knew him, too, and his coming was
the signal for a romp, for the little Grip
pies are wonderfully like other children.
They all knew Sir William TreloaT, too,
and welcomed him with a happy smile,
although they regarded him with greater
awe than their own doctor.
All Applications Sifted.
"We have accommodations for about 800
inmates at present" said DR.. GauvaIn,
but our capacity for expansion is limited
only by the amount of money we get.
So far we have only received about 100
patients because we are sitting all the
applications very carefully. We have de-
cided that we will not take in any case
that we cannot see a reasonable hope OF
curing. That may sound rather cruel,
but 1t is a real kindness. An incurable
case occupying a bed would only shut
out a child that might be made whole.
I'VE are here TO cure, not only to patch
up and relieve. IL does not matter IL the
treatment takes ten years; we will not let
the child ga until II is quite whole. The

CRIPPLES' HOSPITAL
Children's Lord Mayor Of Londor
Reaches LIES Ambition.
QUEEN ALEXANDRA LENDS HAND
Helps to Organize Band of Children
to Aid in Collecting for the
Observation-Disclosures Gives
Building.

LONDON, Jan. 2.-(Specia~l. )-Hundreds Of
Sir William Purdie Treloar. who has been
called the children's Lord Mayor of Lon
don, for the great work which has just
been completed by the opening at Alton,
Hampshire, of the Lord Mayor Treloar
Cripples' Home and college. The ~institu-
ton. which has now become a permanent
feature of England's relief work, is the
result of a year of strenuous effort by a
man who has devoted the greater part of
his life to ameliorating the lot Of London's
crippled children.
Sir William Treloar has long been a prom
inent figure in public life in the old city Of
London. He is a great merchant and he
has been a member Of the city corporation
for years. Two years ago he was chosen
Lord Mayor of London, the highest honor
that can come to a citizen of the ancient
city, and he determined to devote his year
of office and the great influence which the
office gave him to establishing an institu-
ton which should do what no institution
did-really cure the little cripples and re-
store them to the world, able TO support
themselves and free from all disabilities.
Record r. BeEgaF.
Il have always been a pretty good beg
gar where the children were concerned -
Sir William said to me at the opening cere-
mony a few days ago. but 1 determined
when 1 became Lord Mayor that 1 would
beg as no one had ever begged before, and
that / would leave a record behind me in
the way Of begging that would not soon be
forgotten. / surpassed even my own ex-
pectatiOns. for in less than a year 1 man
aged TO beg a hospital and seventy acres
OF ground from Parliament, and / got $3.50,
600 from the public
Before telling about Sir Williams achieve
ment it may be we'll to say something about
the man himself and about his lifelong in
terest in the crippled children. Like SO
many Of the men, from the time OF Dick
Wilmington to now who have ruled over
the d~estinies OF the largest city In the
world, Sir William was not born in Lon
don. He is a Cornishman and no one who
looks at him could doubt for a moment
that he came of sturdy country stock, He
Is more than six feet tall and although he
is nearly 20 years old he is as straight as
he was when he came TO London as a boy
to seek his fortune. He is said to be the
handsomest man who has presided at the
Mansion House %banquets within the MEM
DRY OF the present generation

BILL TO SIMPLIFY CONTROL
PolIce 20 BE Managed by The
city Authorities Instead of
by Parliament, as ut
Present..
rom a staff Correspondent

NOON, Jan. 2-(SpeciaL )-Local gov
eminent here is to be drastically reformed
and -reorganized, IL the present liberal gov
eminent has its way, and as a'matter Of
fact, although the scheme has been put
forward by the London liberal members or
Parliament, there is little opposition to
It from the conservative side. so that It is
likely TO be treated by Parliament, when
II comes before it. as a non-controversial
measure. London is in heed of
and reorganization for greater chaos in
the name of government does not exist
IN the world. TIL county Of
London is all that I propose to consider
here. although Greater London" as it Is
called. includes a large number of indie
pendent boroughs and districts which are
c~o-termlnous with 1t, and are just as much
a part of II as the portion within the bound
aries of the county.
Vast Extent of City.
The county OF London measures sixteen
miles from east to west and about twelve
miles from north to south. It's population
is 4T5S.OOO. To govern this mass OF people
there are no fewer than zoe separate au-
thorities and none Of them has control OF
the police. This is vested in a commits
sioner appointed by the national govern
ment.
The greatest OF all the governing bodies
IA. OF course, the London county council,
which exercises a general supervision over
the whole OF the area, but there are many
things which It cannot touch at present
Then there is the court Of common eoun-
ell of the old city of London, the council
~ the city OF Westminster, and twenty
eight metropolitan borough councils The
county council and the borough councils
are doing much the same work in many re-
snects and their officials are always over
tanning each other. The poor law Is ad'
ministered by thirty-one boards Of guard
fans. and in the old city, In addition TO th'
common council, there are III vestries ane
ma boards OF overseers whose duties woule
ha nerformed much better by the centra
authority. The metropolitan water board
governs the water supply OF the who'll

New Era Ore Helps District.

! The strike that was reported in the
properties of the New Era G. M Co. j,
is destined to shove the Freeland min
district to the front as were the con-
ditions years ago. At distance in
the New Era tunnel of 800 #. from
the portal, Manager James Cousins
drove cross cut a distance of eighty
feet to the Oldbury claim where he en-
countered a thirty inch vein of ore.
He has followed it distance of over
100 feet and it is growing larger and
richer all the time. Where it was first
struck rs ton shipment netted him
over $500. Later on he made another
shipment that netted him between $33
and $34 per ton. He came down yester-
day and had the average assayed and
it showed values amounting to about
$50 per ton. This is no small streak
but large vein of this high medium
grade of ore. 1t is easily mined and
hence the workmen can get out large
daily output per capita when develop
ment work has been done. The stulls
have been put in for the beginning of
an upraise and stopeing near the breast
of the vein. The lateral will be driven
right along and it is expected that
twenty five ton carload will be shipped
ich week from simply the development
work. When the property is properly
opened up the output will be an i'm
mense one and only restricted by the
facilities to handle larg- quantities.
Mr. Cousins has an indefinite lease on
the entire II claims besides being man
ager for the company. He will push
the work with his customary industry
and diligence, which means that the
company will get large returns. The
holdings of the New Era company are
located in district that has produced
many millions dollars worth of ore and
there are many millions more to be
extracted. A new impetus will be
be given to mining in that section
through this strike, while there are
other good strikes in anticipation on
several other properties. Mr.. H. G.
Mills Of Milwaukee is president of
the company and Mr.. F. Shaw Of Chi
cago is vice-president.

Second Lyceum Number.

Those who had the pleasure OF attend
ing the first of the series of Lyceum en-
tertainments given by the New Zealand
ers, had rich treat. The second of the
course will be given Monday evening,
Jan 10, and will be even more interest
ing than the first. 1t will be musical
entertainment given by the Central
Grand Concert Company. The members
of this company are all accomplished
and proficient musicians of the highest
order, and will give the people the finest
musical entertainment ever rendered in
this city. The individual members are
notable artists in their specialties. As a
violinist, MaximilIian Dick is second to
none, and wherever he appears he is
greeted with salyos of applause a an
appreciation of his superior musical
ability. He has had the highest honors
conferred upon him in the great musical
centers Of Europe, among which was the
appointment as concert meister of the
Philharmonic Orchestra of Leipsic-
distinction which no other American
enjoys.
Miss Edith Adams as violoncelist is a
musical genius. She was a student in
Berlin of Robert Housmann, at the
Royal High School. Subsequently she
was the protege of the master musician,
the great Heinrich kiefer of Munich
Such was his admiration for Miss Adams
talent that she was given place in his
home and made as one of the family.
The other members of the company
are talented in their lines and have
made a iirst-class reputation. They are
Miss Margery Knowles, contralto. and
Mr.. Adolph knauer, pianist. While per
haps they are not so popularity known
as the other two, yet the fact that they
are associated with them gives assurance
of them being thorough artists in their
line. Each member of the company is a
soloist and while solos will be rendered
the special features of the entertain
ment will be the concerted numbers by
all the members. This one number of
the course will be worth the price of the
entire course. 1t is seldom city of this
size is favored with such course and
our people should give it the most liberal
patronage. The tickets will be on sale
at Deis' book store on and after Jan. 1st.
