Maine Appropriations for Privately
MANAGED Charitable institutions


The State Board of Charities and
Corrections made Saturday at the re-
quest of the Public Charities Asso-
citation of Philadelphia, an analysis of
the appropriations made by the State
of Maine for privately managed insti-
tutions of charitable nature. Penn
sylvania, like Maine. is one of the
states making appropriations of this
kind, hence the appeal to this new de-
partment in Maine for informat ton as
to what is being done here. The APP
priations made by Maine have been
analysed as follows: Institutions for
detectives, VIZ: Deaf and Dumb 5000;
blindfi $4,000; general hospitals, $54,-
$50; special hospitals (eye and earl,
$500; tuberculous hospitals and agen-
cies, $23, 100; homes for adults $1,000:
rescue homes, $1,000; children's homes,
$16,250; placing out or home finding
agencies for children, $500. Total in
aid of privately managed charitable
institutions, s139,400.
This constitutes a little more than
one-fifth of the total State appropria-
ton for charitable purposes, aside
from the appropriation of S77,500 for
the support Of State paupers. The to-
tai amount appropriated for 1914 for
State charitable institutions is $780,

Congo Reforms
By Belgians.

Brussels, March 29.-Reforms in the
Congo which were urged by King AL
bert in his address to Parliament are
being put into effect gradually and
the prediction is made that the colony
in Africa soon will cease to be re-
garded as a burden to Belgium, or as
a source of criticism from the powers,
as was the case under the late King
Leopold.
The large deficits recorded each year
since the Congo was incorporated into
Belgium have made financial help one
of the first needs. The government
plans to grant this by Endorsement of
all of the past and future debts of the
Congo.
1t is also proposed to grant the col.
ony greater administrative an
tonomy.
The colonial government is to be
transferred to Bona or to an even
more central point so as to enable the
governor to receive the various dis
trict presidents and to permit him to
frame adequate laws, inspired by real
necessities of each district. 1t will
also make possible the institution of
a regular yearly budget which does not
now exist.
Another reform is the reorganization
of judicial power modifying it so as to
give certain colonial agents, police
power such as exists in certain British
colonies. This will secure for the
white people a greater prestige in
dealing with the natives.

meant to be a compliment to him,

Desert Mining Queen" just Sis, 900.
Budd stands in his socks 6 feet -
stalwart of limb, with black hair on
his head and face. 'Twasn't long be-
fore Mr.. Budd was ordering the fore
man around at Mrs. Morgan's, mine.
And soon he did not work at all.
In fact, he never pretended even to
dress, but strolled about the desert
in his pajamas- it was too, hot
to wear clothes.
And all the time there was talk.
Mrs. Budd, wife of the "Pajama
Man." hearing talk, hied herself to the
desert and took certain motion pic
lures and returned with them to Los
Angeles.
Then there was court trial with
Mrs. Budd demanding $4,000 from
Mrs. Morgan as heart balm.
Mrs. Budd was awarded the $15,-
900, which is said to be the largest
judgment ever allotted for an affair
of love in this state. Mrs. Morgan now
says she hasn't the money. The case
is on appeal.
And what became of the "Pajama
Man?
Oh, Mrs. Budd is now suing him for
divorce.

the Commercial Tribune of Detroit
and the editor published it.
1T attracted so much attention
in England that Queen Victoria ap-
pointed a commission to verify the
incident. The commission traced
it down, located the church at

THE DAY OF PEACE,
(By Thomas Speed Mosby)

EASSNJp
IT'S coming yet though Sdimly seen
Beyond the clouds where cannon roar
day shall know no fno<eTrapine' ~
And wars rude note be heard, no more.
For love hath lit her beacon bright. , -
And Learning that doth still expand
Shall in the future spread her light
To Vanqush yet the mailed hand.
In that fair golden, distant time
1t may be far it may be near
Eternal peace shall bless each Cline
Nor more sh all fall the needless tear
The soldier shall not need to die
And sink to nameless, bloody grave
Nor ever more to arms shall fly,
Beloved fartherand to save
To all the lesson shall be pressed
That he who would his country give
The gift that is esteemed the best
Should for her strive to rightly live
Whate'er the of nations war,
The brave the good, the true that fall
Will all the gains of victory mar
The blood of man outweighs them all!
For ev'ry triumph wrought in strife
Of sabre clash and battle din
The cost is paid in human life,
For death is still the wage of sin.
The widows wall the orphans cry
The aftermath of bloody days.
Though wave the victor's plume on high
Shall stife every power to praise.
The world is buded out Of peace;
The grandest trumphs ever won
Are wrought when armies give surcease,
And war its bloody course has run.
Times sweetest offspring and the best
Will be the day when men shall know
That wars red fever is at rest
And its fierce flames no longer glow
