Will S. Ketcham died at the family residence Thirteenth and Lafayette streets on Monday evening at 9:30 of typhoid fever after an illness of five weeks.

His class mates of the class of 70-74 of the High school have always remembered him with pleasure though their paths during the past years have diverged. He leaves, a wife and one child. The funeral occurred on Wednesday.
The second annual report of the Rose Orphan's Home has just been issued from the press of Moore & Langen, and is an interesting little pamphlet. Full details are given on the health of the children, the character of their food, their clothing, industrial training, religious and moral training, recreation, school work, etc. Complete statistics are also given, showing among other things that since the home was opened September 3d, 1S84,185 children have been received, of which number 74 were girls and 111 boys. During the five years since the opening there has been very little sickness, and the one death that has occurred is ample evidence of the most careful sanitary precaution. That superintendent L. P. Alden has succeeded in bis moral training is shown by tho fact that only one boy has run away in the five years. Indeed the report shows the institution to have been most wisely managed in all particulars and the showing must be highly gratifying to both Mr. Alden and the board of managers.
Myers Bros, have hit upon a magnanimous method of making Christmas day time of rejoicing to one hundred poor families in the city. They have purchased 100 turkeys which they propsse to give away on Christmas to the deserving poor. The turkeys are now being fattened at Hollingsworth's poultry house, on west Msin street. The Ladies Aid Society will supply the names of seventy families and the Society of Orgadixed Charity twenty-five. Each family will be gives an order for one turkey and this they will present on Christmas morningjat the store and receive a turkey. The example of the firm is worthy of emulation by others of our merchants. Dry goods, clothing, boot and shoe, and grocery merchants could do something in this line at much less expense Myers Bros, will incur. The offering would scarcely be felt and how msuy hearts would be made glad on that one day of good cheer. There are many homes that know no Christmas—have not known any for yean because of poverty, and such it will be the aim of the societies to secure for Myera Brew.* donation.

The trustees of the Central Christian church have decided not to sell the present site of the church and build elsewhere, but to improve the old structure at a cost of about $6,000. The side and rear walls will be torn out, the building extended, and a gallery added. An architect is at work on plans, and there will be a meeting soon to consider his proposition. The improvements will add very materially to the accommodations and beauty of the edifice. The Evangelical Reform church are contemplating the erection of a handsome place of worship. The south Fourth street parish and the north Fourteenth street parish will unite "and a'location be chosen that will be convenient to both. The trustees were anxious to se sure the Christian church but being disjppointed in that will look elsewhere. The new building will cost about
