igbim girls SAVED FROM PERILS Catholic Mission Home in New York Proves Bulwark Against Evil Men. GIRLS GIVEN PROTECTION. WORK IN BEHALF OF FOREIGN GIRLS HAS BEEN CONDUCTED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS 8ILVER JUBILEE NOVEMBER a. New York, Oct. 31. Although the I f j. i 11 a lrtt a ' imaugrtLUi is wen titreu jur iuo nmo Of his arrival on Ellis island, it would be impossible for the United States officials to give the protection- that many need even after the government has exercised its supervision, which includes the investigation of the health', tnoral standing and financial assets of the would be-cltizen. The case of the female immigration who arrives alone and fails to meet at once the expected brother, sister or friend, brings up the question of proper housie and would present a problem to the authorities, were it not for. the homes established by the different religious denominations for the purpose of calling for this unchaperoned girl until a responsible guardian arrives. The immigrant officers gladly-shift the moral burden of safeguarding these girls to the representatives of the Lutheran, Catholic, Methodist Episcopal, Jewish and other churches whose representatives await each boatload at Ellis Island. The heads of the different mission houses work together in harmony and they uphold the hands of the officials in every effort that is made for the betterment of conditions surrounding immigration. In the days of old Castfe Garden the vicinity of Battery Park was fraught with danger to the newcomer. Sailors' boa. ding-houses of more or less ill repute lined the streets of the neighborhood and Into them many a girl was enticed and there robed of both money and virtue. The state board of immigration commissioners in charge from 1847 to 1890, endeavored to correct this by permitting only licensed hotels and j boarding houses to receive the girls, but as they were public places super--vision could not be maintained over the character of the other guests and j the results were not always the best. When, the tide of emigration from Ireland was at its height in 1883, Miss Charlotte O'Brien, a Protestant Irishwoman, noticed the bad conditions that prevailed and in order to be able to suggest a practical remedy, made the journey across the Atlantic as a steerage passenger under an assumed name. Arriving on this side she spent some time in the boarding houses whose runners besieged every incoming ship. Her experience was appalling and the outcome of her labor was an appeal to the Irish-Americans to establish a home where protection from imposition and crime could be assured until other and proper arrangements werej made. I First Mission Founded. Strange to say, the immediate re-( suits of the Protestant's lady's work was the founding of the Irish Catholic mission. The others that have followed as the need grew, are also monuments to her. The old Colonial house at No. 17 State street, once the home of the Van Rensselaer family was bought for this purpose by the Rev. J. J. Riordan, the first- director. . The premises are also historical in that they served as offices for a commissary department for the troops encamped in Battery park dur- ' Jng the civil war. . Located at the center of the curve made by State street in front of the park, its out-spreading roof, jutting balconiea and Dutch stoop with two flights of -steps leading to the sidewalk at both sides of the platform, bespeaks a welcome that is ratified by the golden cross that surmounts the main entrance. The interior is comfortable, although antiquated "Our platform is 'Cleanliness and Kindliness,' " says the Rev. M. J. Henry, Che present director. This, ' the oldest Institution of its sort, has existed twenty-five years. In that time more than 100,000 girls have received hospitality for a night, a week or a month as the case demanded, and for 12,000 of these positions have been secured. No distinction is ever made because of the race or creed of the applicant and no charge is ever asked for the benefits conferred, which is in acor dance with the wishes of Miss WE COULDN'T AFFORD to send 'you a j. uade of coal the first time ur subsequently, if we wanted to remain in business for the first bad lot would mean our last order.- We have the coal to make your fire for heating or cooking, bum the" way you want It, -most of heat, least of ash, nothing of slate or dirt. - . ; Only reason for asking your orders.

She Agreed to Pay a Year Until He

Boston, Oct. 31. Fiction has seldom known a stranger story than the tale that underlies the bill of equity filed with the Middlesex superior court in which Carl Demel, an Austrian nobleman and grand opera, singer, seeks to have Lillian Moore, a wealthy Somerville woman, pay him $1,500, which the Austrian claims the woman' owes as the result of an unique ante-nuptial pact. Demel. whose home is at Hamburg, N. Y., is at present staying at the Hotel Thorndyke, awaiting the hearing, while Miss Moore occupies sumptuous apartments at the Charlesgate, one of Boston's exclusive hostelrles. Demel is the son of the Baroness Cowrapek of Austria, who, because she married beneath her station, and out of the rangs of nobility, was not permitted to have the rank of succession descend to her children. Miss" Moore is a woman of wealth, and has an income of more than $10,000 a year, drawn from her shares in two estates. Not only has the bill of equity been O'Brien, that a "home" not a hotel should be established. The work is supported principally by a contribution of ' twenty-five cents a year given by the members of a society composed mostly of the Irish girls, of the country. Thus the spinsters' mite speaks. In 1890 the care of the Immigrant was transferred from the state to the federal government, and with the removal of the work of Inspection from Castle Garden to Ellis Island many bad influences that obtained in Manhattan are now impossible. Before this date it can hardly be said that there was a real inspector, as the word is now understood. It was then a sanitary question and now it Is an economic one. But the moral part played by the different mission houses is the same. During the past year the immigrants admitted at the port of New York numbered 585,970, or 418,786 less than in the preceding year. Within the same period 23,000 landed from Ireland, 2,945 less than came over the year before, showing only a slight decrease and that there is still much to do for the unprotected "greenhorn." On November 8, at Carnegie hall a civic celebration of the silver jubilee of the . oldest home on Battery park will take place. At this service Mgrs. M. J. Lavelle, V. G., will speak, and at the civic commemoration United States Commissioner of Immigration Robert Watchorn, Morgan J. O'Brien and others will speak on immigration and the present attitude of the government toward it. LIKING FOB PIES BREAKS AFFINITY TRADE Swap Was a Success Until a Chance Remark. Norwich, N. Y., Oct 31. Joseph Crandall and Oscar Scott discovered last winter that there had been a matrimonial misdeal, and each coveted the other's wife. In June a trade was arranged, and Scott and Mrs. Crandall left for a Pennsylvania town. The property of the two families was divided evenly before the readjustment, and Mrs. Crandall received as a bonus a bob-tailed horse, a wagon, and some money. Crandall and Mrs. Scott sent the other pair away with their blessings, and the incident was gradually forgotten until a week ago it leaked out that all was not harmonious at the Crandall home. A reference to the ..dnd of pies Hetty used to make had made the former Mrs. Scott wroth, so she left. Where she went was not known, but Mrs. Crandall arrived in town yesterday, driving the bob tailed nag and was received- with open arms by her affinity cured husband. She did not brinz back the money which she had received in the first trade, for she found to her surprise when she called at the bank for it that the money had been deposited in her affinity's name, and not in her own. SMALL BUSH SAVES WOMANJROM DEATH Prevents Her From Falling in Gorge. San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 81. While Mrs. L. Freeman, with her husband was coming down White's Hill, near San Anselmo. in their automobile the machine got beyond Freeman's control. The car dashed into another machine, caromed off and ran into a telegraph pole and was smashed into small pieces. Mrs. Freeman was thrown straight toward the gorge, but was saved by a shrub. Unconscious and seemingly gradually slipping to the sharp jagged rocks in the deep gorge below, she lay slightly held by the brush. BANK OPENS. Philippine Government Opens" Business. Manila. Oct. 31.

Tenor $3,000 Was Ready to Wed

brought against the woman, but Demel also names several prominent men of this section as co-defendants, the latter being trustees under the wills from which Miss Moore derives her Income. The fair defendant is about forty years old, while Demel is seven years her junior. - It seems that several years ago Miss Moore was traveling on the continent. Demel at that time was studying music in Florence, preparing for the operatic stage. He is tall and handsome, and is said to possess a-tenor voice of rare power and sweetness. The couple fell in love with each other. Demel claims that he entered into an ante-nuptial pact with Miss Moore, in which she agreed to pay him $3,000 annually until his death, or until he married some other woman. This money was to be used by him to study under the best masters of Europe, to prepare himself for a debut as an operatic tenor, and when the time was ripe he was to marry Miss Moore. Failure to make the last payment caused the singer to file the suit. IS ALMOST DONE Record Made for Construction Of Battleships on the North Dakota. IS LAUNCHED NEXT MONTH. Washington, D. C, Oct. 31. Records for the construction of battleships in this country have been broken in the case of the North Dakota, which will be launched in less than eleven months from the date of the laying of her keel. The navy department has been notified by President Bowles of the Fore River Shipbuilding Company that the greater than Dreadnought vessel will be ready for launching November 10. The keel of the ship was laid at Quincy, Mass.. December 1C last the day on which the Atlantic fleet began its world cruise and she will be about 60 per cent completed when launched next month. Miss Mary Brent, of Fargo, N. Dak., has been selected as sponser of the North Dakota and will perform the ceremony of christening. The North Dakota will be the, largest warship ever launched in the United States. She is 510 feet in length, has a beam of nearly 80 feet, a displacement of 20,000 tons and a speed of twenty knots. The Delaware, her sister ship, which is being constructed by the Newport News Shipbuilding Company, will be ready for launching in the early spring. The Delaware's builders hope to have her ready for launching by February 22, so as to make the event coincide with the return of the Atlantic fleet, when the president will go to Hampton Roads for the review. FALLS DEAD FROM ANGER IN COURT Fit of Emotion Brings on Fatal Attack to Woman. St. Louis, Mo., Oct 31. Forgetting, in her anger at a neighbor, her doctor's verdict that great emotion would prove fatal to her, Mrs. Blanche McCarthy, of No. 171G North Tenth street, dropped dead of heart failure in the Dayton street police court this morning while attempting to obtain a police summons against the women who had aroused her ire. "She called my children names," screamed Mrs. McCarthy, and then fell to the floor dead. Mrs. McCarthy asked for a warrant against her neighbor, Mrs. Minnie West, on a charge of disturbing her peace. PATENT LAW DISLIKED. New English Statute Hits American Industries. Boston, Oct. 31. American manufacturers are seriously disturbed over the law concerning patents which has now gone into effect in Great Britain. There is a strong belief that it will prove very disadvantageous to our manufacturing interests. The grave importance of the change in the law may be judged by the estimate, quoted to have been made by the head of a prominent shipbuilding firm, that $125,000,000 will be invested in Great Britain for the manufacture of articles heretofore made elsewhere. It is alleged that this law has been a blow already to certain branches of American trade, especially the manufacturers of typewriters, electrical machinery, cash registers and of minor inventions. Th Puzzle of Pest. Peat is a puzzle. It can be dug on the surface, yet we sink hundreds of fathoms into the earth in order to procure coal Instead of It. Analysis shows it to have all the constituents of coaL yet used in the same way It yields entirely different results. It Is among the oldest of all sources of artificial heat, yet in this twentieth century no one really knows how to burn it to substantial advantage. Much Ingenuity and immense sums of money have been exptaded in endeavors to utilize it, yet to this day a solution of the problem which would be capable of general application remains among the golden opportunities which are still open to the clever inventor.

Kansas Teacher Draws Pay, But Stands Before Empty Seats

Topeka, Oct. 31. There is a teacher out in Trego county that goes to school every morning and goes through all of the routine of teaching, but has no pupils. In July this teacher signed a contract with the school board to teach the school for five months for $40 a month. At that time there were about fifteen children to attend the school. The school began October 5, but when the teacher went to the building not a child came. In the three months from the time she signed the contract every cvild had moved from the district, or the parents had arranged to send them to city schools. Ever since the teacher has been going to school each morning. At 9 o'clock she rings the bells, but no children romp Into the room. At noon QUARREL OVER DEITY; TWO MEN ARE DEAD Men in Taft, Idaho, Disagree On Scriptures. Wallace, Idaho. Ost. 31. As the reBult of a quarrel as to whether there is a deity and as to whether the statements of the Bible are based on mythology, Peter Rukavana and George Melick are both dead at Taft, a settlement near WaMace. in the heat of the discussion Melick drew a- revolver and shot Rukavana in the mouth killing him instantly. Melick escaped, but while trying to gain the shelter of the hills, fell over an embankment and landed on his head. He received injuries from which he died yesterday morning. Watched Fifteen Years. "For fifteen years I have watched the working of Bucklen's Arnica Salve; and it has never failed to cure any sore, bo'l, ulcer or burn to which It was applied.

STREET. school is dismissed. In the afternoon the same formality is carried out, but no children appear. In the meantime the teacher has all the time for reading or studying. The school board is required to furnish heat and janitor service for the building. The school board has asked if there wasn't a way to close the school and stop the payment of this money, for the teacher and for coal and janitor service, but E. T. Fairchlld, state superintendent, has ruled there is no way except by a compromise with the teacher. The young woman has an Ironclad contract to teach the school. By going to the building every day she) performs her part and shows that she is willing to teach. That there are no children .to teach is not her fault and she draws pay just the same.
