4 MORNING ATT TTHE LOCAL
 GIRLS INDUSTRIAL HOME
BY MYRTLE MILES.

Not far from the car line that passes through Powderly, away from the dis fractions and noise of the city is the Girls Industrial Home, one of the worthiest charities if one of the newest in Blrming- ham.
 A gentle, fair-haired woman whose heart is big and roomy enough to hold all the sorrows of this busy city, called for me a few mornings ago and we went together to see the girls who have called this place home for the past two months.
 It was cold, raw day and we pains takingly sought the dry places along the sidewalks after leaving the car, long ing arose for the cheer of a cosy, warm fire. When my cicerone announced, Here it is," any kind of a refuge would have been most grateful but the neat trim brick building extended a welcome ln- deed. There are houses all about so it is not a lonely spot and the building which is the home has a most inviting exterior. It is not a new house. but has been remodeled and refreshed so that there is small evidence of former use re- mainng. A ring at the bell brought the matron a sweet, cheery little woman whose very presence is a brisk mental tonic for the weak, dependent girls whose guide mental and moral she is expected to be. Mrs. Carr is one of the most

opportunity to redeem herself if she were not eternally branded and cast out. So much may be done for these. It Is the universal case that any girl who has made one false step would be grateful for the chance to reform were the hand of public censure not pushing her eternally back into the degradation which she has left. The third class is the home for those who have been found incorrigible."
 The place at West End is primarily home of the first order. the object be- ing preventive rescue. but it was found that it will be needed for the other classes as well, so that all phases Of the work is undertaken. Tell me a girls story" said Mrs. Carr, and I can instantly tell you exactly in what class she should be placed"
 The furnishings of the home. while not yet complete, are sensible, comfortable and even attractive. Rugs and mattings on the floors give an air of coziness, and some of the windows are daintily cur tained. There has been great interest taken in the work of beautifying the place by the women who have its success at heart and they have given bountifully. When the little woman who was my com panion on the visit offered sideboard, bed, a tailored suit and several chairs, I began to feel nervous lest she give away her entire household effects, and probably showed 1t, for Mrs. Carr laugh ingly told of one husband who announced the other day that he was going to send the sheriff out to watch his personal be- longings during his absence in town, as each evening when he returns something is missing. The keenest interest is taken in the work and the better it is understood by the benevolent people of the community the greater the power for good will be-

There is still one man in Paris who can boast of having had his ears pulled and his cheeks pinched as a boy by Napoleon l., and that is Jean Pierre Schamel, an in- mate of a poor house at Ivry. He is now nearly 102 years of age and his father held the all-important post of concierge of the Chateau of Versailles during the reign of Napoleon.
 Jean Pierre was born at the chateau early in 1897. and when he was or 6 years old he remembers often seeing the Emperor in the park. Jean Pierre had a fancy for climbing trees, and one day he happened to have torn his brooches, when the Emperor caught him and gently pulled his ears. Whenever Napoleon saw him in the gardens afterwards he used to pinch his cheek, and ask him if he had climbed any trees that day. Jean Pierre Schamel remembers those pinches with pride. At the age of IA he was appren- ticed to a tailor at Versailles, and after his military service he set up as a theatri- cal costumer. This brought him into con- tact with nearly all the most famous ac- tors and actresses of the last three quar- ters of a century, and the anecdotes he can tell about them would almost fill an encyclopedia. He had heart disease, and was pronounced incurable by doctors 40 years ago. but says that he never felt any the worse for it. He likes morphine and coffee, and says that little of each every day is what he considers the elixir of life. but he does not believe in strong liquors.
 It has been announced that a woman writer had put forward her candidature for one of the vacant seats in the acad- emy. An inquiry into the report shows that a woman had really called at the in stitute and asked for information as to the formalities which would-be candi- dates for immortality had to observe. The visit took place a few days ago, since when no candidate has been presented. It is recalled that in 1893 Mme. Pauline Savary, the author of a large number of review articels. put herself forward as a candidate for the chair occupied by Ern- est Renan. Her letter was read to the Immortals, who passed a resolution to the effect that the academy considered that its traditions did not permit it to exam inc the candidature. From which it would l appear that women are not to gain im-
 mortality as represented by seat in the l academy.

A PAINTING IN LITIGATION
By PAUL VILLlERS.

Paris, January 16.-Admiral Germinet was so popular with his officers of the Mediterranean squadron that when he re- ceived his conge for having declared in an interview that France had a shortage of ammunition, it was natural they should desire to offer him souvenir of their re- gard. A number of officers took the initi- ative in inviting their colleagues to sub scribe to a sword of honor to be presented to the admiral. One of the officers. in a letter which he sent to Paris, mentioned the proposed presentation. The result of his communication was that a telegram in cypher was sent to Rear Admiral Dar- ble, who is in temporary command of the squadron ordering him to inquire into the proposed subscription. The officers are prohibited by M Picard, the minister of marine from collecting subscriptions for the presentation to their late chief.
 
 The 10 landscapes of Frederick Humbert, husband of La Grande Therese," which were recently exhibited in the Georges Petit Gallery, are now a subject of liti- gation. Frederick Humbert, who desires to live by his brush, sold his pictures for $400. But when a wealthy collector ar- rived at the gallery to remove the can vases he found that a former creditor was in possession. The question of possession Is to be submitted to a referee
 Has a popular singer a right to his own voice? The court of appeals has been called upon to answer this question in singular circumstances the response af- fecting the manufacturers of phono- graphs. The famous tenor, Van Dyck, entered into an arrangement with a Ger man company whereby the latter was au- thorized to record his voice while singing in the opera '"rannhauser." A French company reproduced these records. The Seine commercial court decided in the negative. A judgment was appealed against, and the court of appeals has found that the singer has a right to his own voice, and that he only partially dis posed of his right when he sang specially for a maker of phonographs or grama- phones.

zELAYA FURNISHES THE
REASON.

1t is very clear that there is only one
way to deal with Zelaya, former-and
present-President Of Nicaragua. And
that is the way advocated by Senator
Rayner. He should be captured, and
put on trial for murder. And if he can
make no better defense in cours than
he has in print, he should be stood
against a thick brick wall, and per-
forated.
Zelaya declares he still is president of
Nicaragua. And that probably is true.
The laws Of his land do not provide for
such a succession as that which re-
leased him and installed Madriz. Ze-
laya himself insists that he can return
to the office whenever he wants to do
so. The man evidently thinks he has
simply put on a SUBJ, and that he can
go back to regular cases as soon as the
storm Of unpopularity blows over.
He win make trouble as long as his
status is not definitely settled. And
there can be no way of settling it quite
so sure as TO make a good tyrant Of
him, just as General Miles made good
Indians.
Give him a first-class funeral-com-
mensurate with his infamy.

BRING Them INTO The CITY.

Gentlemen interested IN the growth of
the city are overlooking something
when they delay organizing for the an
nexation Of the regions to the south Of
the present corporation limits. There
is big and populous territory all the
way from Liberty park to Bingham
Junction, and all ought to be annexed.
We believe the people in those districts.
with few exceptions, would vote to come
into the city. The city has a right to
the benefit Of their numbers, and Of
their help in the future advancement
Of Salt Lake.
But it win take a little organization,
a little labor Of preparing and circulate
ing petitions, a little conference with
the friends Of the larger Salt Lake.
And up to date no move Of this kind is
being made.
We believe the thing is important
enough to demand the attention Of the
Commercial club, and of the Real Es-
tate association-and Of every other
friend of the city.
Those thousands can be had. Let the
friends Of Greater Salt Lake go and
bring them in.

WANT MORE POLICEMEN.

Chief Barlow is asking the city for
twenty more policemen. And it is pref
ty clear that they are needed. There
are seventy-eight men now on the pay
roll, but only half Of them are walking
beat. The rest are either detectives or
office men. It reminds one a little Of
that Cuban army which General Shat
ter found when he landed at Baquari.
Four out Of five in the patriot army
were officers. The fifth was a soldier.
We don't Just understand that Chief
Barlow proposes to dismiss twenty men
when ne gets permission Of the council
to hire the new force. He says he needs
the new men asked for, and there GER
tainly seems to be work for twenty
good policemen.
But wouldn't it be a good thing to
make patrolmen out of about thirty of
the thirty-two who now draw pay
without the ignominy Of walking beat?
Considering that there is little detec-
tive work done in the department, why
not take the twenty off the top Of the
payroll and put them at the bottom,
with promises of promotion when they
detect something, or catch some bur-
glar, or do something else along the line
Of usual police duties?

MISTAKES FROM MEMPHIS.

That is a pretty story which is tele-
graphed from Memphis-the one about
Colonel James Gordon, who has recent
ly been appointed United States SEN
ator from Mississippi.
The Memphis dispatch makes Gordon
a resident Of Oklahoma. His home, of
course, is in the state from which he
will serve as senator-Mississipp His
town is Ol1oIona.
Gentlemen Of great age win remember
that the late William Herman there
published a paper called The Ol1olona
States in the Garfield campaign, and
fred the northern heart with rebel SEN
timents for so much per fire.
Also, Memphis tells a waiting world
that Colonel Gordon surrendered him
self to General Dick, then in command
Of the army forces Of New York" and
so proved that he was not guilty Of any
part IN the conspiracy for the murder
OF President Lincoln. General Dick
must mean Governor Dix-the man who
said: IF any man pulls down the
American flag, shoot him on the spot!"
Outside Of that, the Memphis dispatch
is all right

He WAS THEIR FRIEND.

They might all say what they liked
about Caesar. Mark Antony laid his
defense. his eulogy, on the deep and
solid foundation: HE was my friend,
faithful and just TO me-" So the world
may pronounce its own opinion Of Lit
tie Tim surnamed Sullivan, who has
died, and is buried but New York's
east side. the place where Little Tim
ruled, will answer sufficiently: He was
me friend" And that VIII make acquit-
lance, no matter what the charge may
be.
Little Tim Sullivan was a curious
character. Irish to the marrow Of his
bones, he had all the shrewdness and
ali the FEASIBILITY OF his race. Also,
he had its courage, and its warm heart,
and the viii to fight the strong, and
feed the poor.
He grew rich, and with his increasing
fortune came an increasing largess
for the less comfortable people about
him. And there was a perfect catho-
icity in his benefactions. He asked no
questions as to race or religion in the
Thanksgiving feasts lie sent to their
homes. He barred no one on those
steamboat excursions into the clearer
and purer air. He had blessings for the
Jew and the Italian and the Greek. And
if he cared a little more carefully for
the children Of the Emerald Isle, it was
never at the expense Of their fellow
American citizens OF other race.
Hypercritical people assume to SET
down Little Tim Sullivan as a type OF
the man TO be discouraged. But he
probably did more good than bad. The
tens Of thousands Of east side residents
are happier because Of him. He has
fed them when hungry and clothed
them when naked. He has provided
them with work, and encouraged indus
Try, and thrift, and loyalty Of some
sort.
And never cen he be DETAINED in the
region which knew him in life, because
he was the friend OF the masses-faith-
ful and just 10 those about him, to the
last.
