A WOMAN LAW!MAKER.

Mrs. Albion Fellows Bacon is the
author of a housing bill that is revolu-
tionTzing tenement conditions in Indiana
She is a little slip of a woman, the
mother of four children, and lives quiet
ly at Evansville Some years ago she
came to the conclusion that in many
small cities the tenement conditions were
Just as impossible as in New York. This
and that four walls never make a home,
she discovered by friendly visits in her
native town The slum conditions of
the smaller cities were, she found, de
p1orable With her charity began at
home. Evansville was a fertile field.
She interested her toWnspeople by per-
sonal appeal, and with the Monday
Night Club at her elbow, engineered a
city ordinance to do away with slum
conditions in Evansville With alacrity
the city council pigeon-holed it. Mrs.
Bacon rescued it and it was finally made
part of the city building law. Then she
began to write letters to every one who
could help from the one hundred and
fifty state secretaries Of charities to ia
cob Riit. At last her labor lowered, and
her bill to alleviate tenement conditions
was presented in the legislature It was
about to be shelved when Mrs. Bacon
appeared and made such an eloquent
plea for it that it passed. One Of her
sentences became a battle cry. 1--WE pro-
tect men in mines and in railroads and
in factory, but we do not protect them
in their homes" Mrs. Bacon's bill seems
a model bill. It is proving that small
cities can eliminate their human pest
holes Indiana is now an example to
every other State in the Union.

SYMPATHY.

The tenderest sympathy is felt for
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Rankin in the death
of their dear little son Carl, a sweet and
most lovable child. Both pathetic and
touching are the affections of child,
and little Carl was a sufferer, unable to
enjoy the sports of other children. The
precious child is now free from pain
and suffering. Funeral services were
held at the family home on Spring
street Wednesday morning.
