TOWNS SLUM PROBLEMS.
How a Woman's Efforts Cleaned Up

How a Woman's Efforts Cleaned Up
Evansville, Ind.
When Mrs. Albion Fellows Bacon be-
gan to explore the poorer districts OF
her town-Evansville. Ind.-she knew
that there were poor people and that
they did not enjoy luxuries. but she
supposed that. after all. they got ON
fairly well in their way. When she
entered tenement and was greeted
by a pail Of suds flung by a top floor
tenant over the railing into the hall be-
low she thought 1t very impolite OF
the tenant.
Investigation revealed the fact that
Evansville, as we'll as the great cities.
had its slum problems Landlords were
taking rent for quarters which meant
disease and death.
Just how one woman accomplished
the feat It would be difficult to explain.
but the fact remains on record that
Mrs. Bacon aroused not only Evans
VILE, but Indiana. Women's clubs
were enlisted in behalf Of the housing
work; minister's, teachers. politicians,
men and women Of influence every
where. were shown the need Of cleaner
tenements A great campaign all over
the state was started. Landlords In
many places fought hard. hut the bill
for better housing went through.
A study of the housecleaning of Ev-
nnsville would be worth while as a
primer for every town In the country
big enough to have slums.

A MUNICH Atty
Jersey City Sets an Example
Any Town Can Follow.
PLAN UT|LIzES SCHOOLS.

Proposed to Open as Many Of Thorn 10
Practicable During Winter For
Young Folks Dances to Keep Them
Off tho Streets.
Jersey City hatched new idea in
regard to municipal reform. The
problem of keeping girls off the street
at night has long confronted large cit
les. Jersey City. with Its large ele-
ment Of foreign population. thinks it
has solved the question.
The Jersey City idea Is this: Once a
week the community Of young people
round about the public school Of their
district are invited to attend dance
at the schoolhouse. The city educa-
tianal authorities play host, and young
people. some Of whom would other
wise be haunting cheap dance halls.
are invited to attend The floor Of the
school assembly hall Is swept and
waxed. and from until 1890 o'clock
the dance goes forward with good
music.
E. A. Ransom. secretary of the Soci.
ETY. For the Prevention Of Cruelty to

in his home when John Warren. attor-
uey for the Society For the Prevention
of Cruelty 10 Children. remarked that.

rem. and should be utilized for public
purposes other than the teaching Of

Mr.. Ransom thought so. too. ana
consequently the matter was put be-
fore the school board. which suggested
that a committee be formed OF persons
interested in such n movement Mr..
Warren and Mr.. Ransom organized the
school extension committee.
Though the scheme Is far from
complete" said Mr.. Warren. never
theless we have passed the expert
mental stage. Our plans are to open
the schools for mems civic, clubs two
nights week. for women and girls
clubs two nights q week, for public
lecture one night week and for a
dance one night week."
Mr.. Warren was asked II the scheme
of schoolhouse clubs had been tried
elsewhere.
"Yes," he said: ut has had marked
success in Rochester. for instance.
But as far as l know the idea Of mu-
nicipal dances is original. So far we
have only held dances in school 81.
but next winter we expect to extend
the custom to all the schools where
practicable throughout the city. This
can only be done with the aid Of the
board of education, which. may add,
is heartily in accord with our plans"

that hurt the worst. II he had stayed
and faced the music they would have
stood by him with good spirit. And
subsequent events proved that the boy
could have done so with safety.
In these days Of sorrow Willy Reed
was an Invaluable consoler. He was
such pleasant chap to look at and

"You must judge Of that when sou

to lie more than was necessary and
would have given half years income
for the nerve to confess the truth.
Instead of clearing his conscience he
was presently obliged to pile another
burden upon 1t. He received a letter
from Granville Bailey. who was In
London. and 1t was very mournful
reading. Granville had been deserted
by Swectzer He was almost penni-

did not ask for money. but Willy I'm
meGiately cabled him a generous sum
and wrote a cheerful letter. urging
him to return.
'I'll stake you to all rhs money you
need for your detenes,' wrote Willy.
Presently Mrs. Bai'es's illness took
a very serious turn. a caD.e message
was sent to Granville advising him
that his mothers state demanded his
return, and Willy secretly sent him
money for the voyage. Granville re-

for the building to give protection to

1t seems to solve very neatly the
problem Of constructing such public

Western Land Convention.

Denver.-The land convention to be
called by Governor Shafroth in accord
ance with the resolution passed by the
present Legislature may not meet un-
til October The first meeting of the
committee that is to have charge OF
the convention was held in the COVER
nor's office recently, when the ques-
ton as to the date of the convention
was raised.
1t was originally planned to hold it
in August or July, but the fact that
it is desired that all the congressman
from the Western states be in attend
ance may lead to postponment until
September or October. 1t is believed
by some that the extra session of Con-
gress may not adjourn until fall.
Il am sure that this convention is
going to be most important one"
declared Governor Shafroth in discuss
ing the plans for the big meeting
which is to be attended by representa-
.ives from every state in which there
IS more than 100000 acres of public
domain.
1.-The time has arrived when the
West must assert it's rights and fight
for fair play from the national govern
ment. The theory that the federal gov
srnment has the right to withdraw
from entry and hold for an indefinite
length of time any considerable por-
tion of the territory of Colorado or
any other Western state is of a COM
paratively recent growth. 1t has been
spreading of late, however, and de-
cided stand by the Western state is
needed to show the people of the coun-
try the rank injustice of such a pro-
ceeding," said Gov. Shafroth.

Washington.-In response to letter

school in Colorado to the state be car
ried out, Secretary Fisher telegraphed
to Gov. John F. Shafroth, as follows:
Have this day wired government
custodian to permit state custodian to
take possession Fort Lewis school
property. In this connection, permit me
to call your attention to the qualified
estate granted by the act of Congress
and the conditions upon which it is to
be held by the state of Colorado.
namely, as an institution of learning,
and that no right to mine or remove
coal or other mineral deposits under
the soil is conferred upon the state
or can be recognized without further
congressional legislation"
