The new governors concluding
words were: II earnestly recon-

may do, we always definitely adhere
to the purpose to give the people a

Have Asked For Little Boy and Lit

Possibly the greatest and most lib

pie to the unfortunates of Europe,
who have and are still suffering from
the ruthless ravages of the Teutons,
is the adoption of the little children,
who have been left orphans.
And again Dawson comes to the
front in the adoption, by Mr.. and
Mrs. r. L. Saville, of a little girl
and little boy, between the ages
of three and seven years, with the
preference that one be of French
people, while the other of Belgian
descent.
Mr.. Saville, on yesterday, wrote
to the people in charge of such work
in New York city offering his home
to two such children, and no doubt
an immediate acceptance of his of
fer will be made.

81 200 per annum, provided fines
