TRUE PHILANTHROPY.

The experiment of a big hotel for poor men in New York ¢ity, inaugurated last week by the millionaire, Mr. D. O. Mills, will be watched with considerable interest. It 18 a large, well constructed building in Bleecker street with broad marble corriders, spacious sitting rooms, &ading rooms, library, bath rooms®and 1500 neat, cozy little sleeping rooms, .eaeh of which has'a single beds:iea,d, a strip of carpet and an electric’light burner. It has all the appliances| of the newest and most convenient kind, and the large kitchen and restaurant are complete in all their arrangements. Here any well behaved man lean obtamn a Toom at 20 cents a night and meals at guch low prices that the cost of living need not exceed 50 cents a day. Mr. Mills wishes 1t to be distinctly understood that it is not a charitable concern, but rather an effort io give poor men, earning small wages, an opportunity to live in the city aloof from the squalid | and - gen‘érally vicious surroundings which their limited meéeans haye compelled them to endure. 'He has plahned the building from a ‘business standpoint,iso that it shall be selfssupporting. ‘ ; This 1, indeed, practical philan‘thropy. and will go" far towards ‘ameliorating the condition of the poor in.the great city, - The late A. 'L. .Stewart had something of the same idea when he built the Park avenue hotel for working girls, /but "he made it more of a prison and institution than a home. Mr. Mills adgpts a very different course. He allows the guests of his hotel all reasonable liberty and latitude. asking ' only that they shall be well behaved, Their sense of independence 18 not offended, for they pay for what they get at the regular rates of the establishment. He has put into practice the methods of &’ thorough business man. Under the influence of such healthful surroundings poor men in the great city cannot but be signally benefited. He'has not forgotten those with families, for 40 model apartment houses are to be erected adjoining the hotel. Jf the experiment proyes a success, Mr. Mills proposes to repeat it in yarious parts of the city on the same scale. There has been a 2 great deal of preaching, writing and consultation as to some general plan for ameliorating the condition of [the poor. but this is the first genuiue practical step taken in that direction in New York. All honor to such philanthrophy.— Albany Times Union. : :

A Daring Hold Up

Last Thursaay morning, John Stew art, a farmer residiny near Brimfield, was stopped; while on|/his way home from Wolcottville, where he had marketed a load of grain for Mr Hossler, the administrator of the Adam Hoffman estate,, He had just reached the lonely and :dismal part of the road along the old canal ditch, when his‘team was stopped by two men, while a third approached the wagon and commanded him to get out and give up his money. Mr. Stewart did neither, but gave the whip yigorously to his team, whi%% bounded away, leaving two of the robbers behind. The third oneclung to the horses and was thrown down and dragged on the ground several rods and finally the wagon passed over him Mr, Stewart droye to Brimfield and notitied parties of the oceurrence, and a posse was soon in psearch of the robbers. A message was sént to Huntertown for the bloodhounds, asking them to bring dogs at ooce. They arrived after midnight and were put upon the tracks about 1:30 Thursday morning and followed the trail in various meandeérings through fields.and woods to the Lake Shore railroad tracks, a short distance east of Brimfield, where, it is thought, the scoundrels took passage on a west bound freight train that passed there about 2:30 or later. THe thing is that the parties knew, Mr. Stewart and perhaps saw him going to Woleottville with the produce. and that he would be liable to have the proceeds of the sale in' his pockel. on his return. It is laid at the door of local talent, and if they took the freight train, as indicated by the hounds, it was to confuse those in search and disarm suspicion. -

A-unique meeting of ministers of the Evangelical church has been in progs ress this week at Oakwood Park on the ’shore of Lake Wawasee. Abouttwen'ty expounders of the gospel have been in attendance, and while piety has not been thrown to the winds—far from that—things spiritual - and- the study and consideration of the methods of spreading the goglgel have been sec ondary matters. Their object has been to fix up and beautify the park by work ‘of their own hands, ' Any repairs that were needed or impi‘ovement that could be suggested was promptly attended to by the minigterial carpenters and landscape gardeners, It is said that the result of their week’s labor has made a very noticeable -change in the appearance ot the park. —Elkhart Review, ; ~ Place in ¥onur Scrapbook. | A son has been born 1o ex-President Cleveland, ‘What a concatenation of circumstances it would be if this pew son and the new daughter of ex President Harrison should wed and the two should finally enter the White House!

‘ Bad Accident. The eldest son of John Bauhouse, living north of Avilla, was putting a douple-barreled shotgun 1n shape to go hunting yesterdasy and laid the gun across the cook stove, the end of the gun pointing toward his right arm. The gun was loaded and in some way was discharged, the contents entering the arm above the elbow, shattering the limb so badly that it will be necessary to anutate it near the shoulder. —Kendallville Sun. ‘l'he boy died on Tuesday morning from: the loss of bloed. e : Bank Robbery at Shipshewana. -1,28 t pnight at Shipshewana robbers broke opep the safe in Davis’ bank, and it is said secured about $6OOO in currency.

THE RATHBONE SISTERS.

Large Attendance and Much Enthusiasm, Good Addresses and Profitable Discussion—Temples in Prosperous Qondltion—Adjourned to Mcet in Kendallville on June Ist, 1898,

‘T'ne Rathbone Sisters of District No. 1, of the Grand Domain of Indiana, met in fourth annual conyention in the beautiful little city of Ligonier on Oct. 27, 1897, and it is with pleasure that we, a 8 press committee of -that convention, essay to record for the benefit of members of the order, as weli as all others interested; -the principal proceedings of the meeting and to favorably comment on the great good sought to be accomplished, and which, in the minds of all members present, vas the result of its wise deliberations and discreet and harmonious counsels. |

The convention opened in ritualistic form at 9:30 a. m., Mrs. Matilda J. Robers, M. E. C. of Ligonier Temple, No. 129, presiding, with all the other officers of the temple at their proper stations. Mrs. Lizzie Collins of Warsaw, D. D. G. C., then assumed charge of the convention, selecting her officers for the day. The grand officers were then escorted into the temple by a committee appointed for that purpose. The rollcall of temples concluded the proceedings of the forenoom’s closed session. ‘after which the Knights- of Pythias and their wiyes were admitted, while sweet orchestral strains winged their melody as a most fitting welcome. A son of greeting to the Knights was then rendered by Mrs. Lou J. Dunning and her effort was a most impressive index of her accomplishment as a vocalist and of her promising achievements in this field of culture. Mrs. Lizzie Collins, D. D. G. C., then most fittingly extended kind words of greeting, pregnant with lofty and ennobling sentiments of fraternal love and duty. After the appointment of committees by the District Deputy, a very interesting and pathetic address of welcome was made by Mrs. Matilda J. Roberts, M. E. C. of Ligonier Temple, No. 129, followed by a response by Mrs. Lola Calvert, Grand Chief of Indiana, Her effort was an able one, broad in its scape, elegant in-its diction and regplendent with gems of noble thought and superb sentiment. She dilated on the grand opportunities of woman to accomplish good. her exalted mission in this field of work and her growing aptness to become perceptive of her duties and to practically exemplify them 1n the affairs of life. She thought the patchwork of woman in her efforts to better and exalt humanity would only appear in its supreme glory when illumined and made blessed by.the divine light from above. The address by J. E. McDonald, G, P,, on ‘“The Auxiliary Lodge and Its Relations to Pythianism,”’ was next n the program, and the able manuner ﬁx which he handled the subject showed that the committee had made no mistake in its selections. He contended that the time is now here wken the progress of Pythianism de'f)‘ﬁnded, in no small degree, on the co dperation of the Aucxiliary; that the denial of ‘their right to become Pythian Sisters 'was without justification, and that, as a strengthening factor in the order, Knights should be excluded from hon~ orary membership. Hiss address was greeted with much applause, although it was eyident his last proposition failed to harmonize with the views of a number present. Much amusement was created when he disclaimed any qualifications to become a Rathbone lsister. - i

After report of temples and reception- of Grand Temple officers, the convention adjourned to 1. p. m. - The afternoon session was taken up with talks' pertaining to the good of the order, the interpretation and discussion of its laws and ritualistic work, and the reports of committees, during which it was eyident that great interest was being manifested by the members, Among those whose remarks produced much food for thought was Mrs. Lola Calvert, G. C, who, presided during the “Helptul Hour,”’ and Mrs. Fannie Tompkins, G. C., of Michigan, who spoke on the model M. E. C., advising temples to consider-character as well as knowledge of parliamentary law in their selection for this position. She was warmly applauded. . The conyention adopted the following reports of committees: ‘Time of convention changed to first Weédnesday in June; a 10 cent per capita tax to be paid by each temple fo ajd in defraying expense of conyentjon; all visiting members as well as delegates to yote. iaa

Under the head of ¢‘Love’s Discip line,”’ all werg requested to giye. reasons why they erréßathbone ‘Sisters, and to say what benefit they had received personally therefrom. Much enthusiam was manifested, and it was quite patent that the precepts and puorposes of the order were adequately comprehended. . - ~ «Closing with **Nearer, My God, to Thee,’’ the convention adjourned to 7 o’clock. P

During th'e eyening session the secret work was exemplified, Ligonier Degree staff asgisting. The work, was performed very beautifully and ‘impressively, and brought forth much favorable comment, ot

An interesting feature of the evenin; was the bestowing of souvenirs upo: the Grand officers and District Deput; for their kind and earnest effort in be half of the order and their graciou: demeanor while mingling with & th members during the conyention. Mos fitting responses were made.: After remarks on-‘“‘Good of the Or der’’ by visiting Knights and Sisters the convention closed in ritualistic form to meet at Kendallyille' the firs Wednesday in June, 1898. Nearly one hundred visitors from varions te;ppées were present, beside; thirtysfive delegafes.” Twenty-one temples responded Jo r llpgl. There were present four ra%? officers and fifteen M. E. C.’s. The reports of temples by delegates showed them ta be in a very flourishing condition, and serves as very encouraging evidence of thl])e {)rogr'es; of the grder ip Distriot ; o.' . 5 Well can it be spid that this meeting was a splendid success, not only in point of attendance, but in the enthu: siasm manifested and the re-inspiration we as members have- all receiyed to look onward and upward in the divine light of Purity, Love, Equality and Fidelity: that as Rathbone Sisters we cannot but realize that -our sacred ‘cause received a most powerful stimulant, and that our hearts now drink in more eagerly than ever before the potent waters that well from the eters nal‘prinoigles of our order; Lthat wg feel more t gn eyer the enchanted inspiration which crowns us with the gem of solace and hope, and gpides us to strive and struggle in the high realm of the "brotgar_h()o‘d of man and the Fatherhood of God; that as

we plunge onward—ever onward to the great Goal beyond-—golden rays of the noonday suns of Love and Fidelit will paint for us in brighter and -stiﬁ, brighter hues our glorious mission and uelimited possibilities. In conclusion, let it be said that too much praise cannot be bestowed upon members of Ligonier Temple, No. 129, for the courteous reception and splenl did hospitality rendered; and for their 'very successful effort in preparing for {the proper care of so large an attend ance. The visiting members and delegates will ever have a warm spot in their hearts for these dear Sisters who were 80 solicitous for the eonvenience and comfort of us all on this happy occasion. : Nora Woobp.

The Elkhart K. of P, Meeting.

" The district meeting at Elkhart of | the Knights of Pythias of:the second district was a most gratifying success in every detail. The lodges of the district were all represented and at least 500 visiting Knights were in the city. . The afternoon meeting was at Bucklin’s opera house and was well attended, and the exemplification of the work in the different ranks by George W. Powell, G. 1., of Indianapolis, was given close attention. After this the South Bend team worked the Third. rank in most credit:ble style, showing that the boys at the Bend are up and a-~domng in Pythian work., In the evening the parade was a gorgeous: affair, at least 700 Knights being in] line, headed by three ‘fine ' bands. Fireworks lit up the streets, wkich were beautifully and apprepriately decorated, and the whole thing put one in mind of an enthusiastic rally in a red-hot political campaigu. At 8 o’clock Bucklin’s" opera house was -crowded to hear the address of Hon. James E. Watson, P. G. C., who was ‘the speaker of the evening. It was a ‘brilliant oration, and all who heard it pronounced it a masterpiece. Hon, B. F. Shiyelv of South Bend, who was also present, also responded to a calk and made a splendid address. The evening entertainment was an intels lecttral treat seldom enjoyed. ‘The banquet in the eyening was a well arranfed affair, at least 450 Knights and their ladies being seated at the tables at one time. The supper was elegant and most splendidly serv: ed. Atll o’clock a light lunch was served—ice cream, cake and fruit—after which many repaired tothe lodge hall where dancing was carried on till a late hour. . : o

. The Grand Lodge officers present were: Union B. Hunt, G. C.; Frank Bowers. G. K. of R. & S.; George W. Powell, G. L., and J. E. McDonald, G. P. The success of the meeting was mainly due to the untiring efforts of Merrill E. Wilgon, D. G C., who was loyally assisted by all of the members of the Elkhart lodge. .They are all to be congratulated upon their splendid achievement.

New Trains Go Through,

Yesterday the Lake Shore put 1n use the new equipment for their limited trains Nos. 19 and 22. It takes four complete trains to give the service, ‘each of which cost $250,000—a total of $1,000,000., This outfit is to make the regular runs of the limited trains and* the Chicago Record, in speaking of the change, says that ‘*more expengiye trains will enter and leave Chicago %than any other city in the world.”” One ‘of the trains of the ‘'million dollar ‘equipment” passed through here last night at 9 o’clock. It consists of seven cars—a buffet smoking car, dining car, drawing car, three sleepers and a compartment observation _car. The electric lights are fed from a dynamo which is placed in the baggage compartment of the smoker. This buffet is a little club house 1n itself, for it contains & main smoking room, a pri: vate smoking room, a buffet, barber shop, bathroom and a bookcase full of books, The dining car is divided into three compartments, one of them haying six tables for private dining par ties. The sleepers are the tinest in the world, being even more elaborate than the splendid trains shown at Chicago during the World’s Fair by the Wagner Palace Car company. Many new safety devices are used and the trains, while they will be run at a high rate of ?eed, will .be the safest on the road. Through passengers for New York ‘will be able to board the train at 'Elkhart, the only stop between Chicago and Toledo. The Political Crazy Quilt, President McKinley last week appointed Charles B. Harris of Goshen as consul to Nagasakl, Japan, in the place of James S. Dodge, declined. Thig was the fourth appointment for the place, and Mr. Harris, it is stated, was recommended by Congressman Royse and Senator Fairbanks. This brings to mind the fact that Mr. Harris ‘was a candidate for joint representative a year sgo, and the warm friends of Senator Fairbanks worked day and: night to defeat Mr. Harris because he: refused to pledge himself in advance of the nomination as to how he, would vote for United States senator. Upon this issue Dr. Knepper of Ligonier was nominated. Now the scene changes and some of the men who performed the aboye political work asked for office and were denied, while Mr. Harris comes to the front. We can’t explain the political crazy quilt, but this case is not an isolated.one.—Waterloo Press. : 8
