ONE YEAK OF B.ESOUE WORK.
,
Wlmt Has 110211 Done , by the Merciful
hnvlnr MU&IOII.
e The associates of the Mission of Our
Merciful Saviour held their annual meeting
last week , at which time the officers were reelected -
elected , viz : Mrs. Worthlngton , president ;
Mrs. C. II. Gardner , vice president ; Mrs.
, J. W. Van Nostrand , secretary ; Mrs. Henry
! C. Yates , treasurer.
The reports were somewhat encouraging , as
generous donations from ono Interested friend
had cleared the debt which weighed sp
heavily last summer. Mother Caroline's re
, port was exceedingly interesting , especially
the accounts of individual cases where help
and comfort had been given by the sisters.
The totaj number -received Into the home
during the year was fifty-nine , and of these
but ono is known to have returned to her
former life. Owing to the limited accommo
dations * but a few can bo cared for at a
; time and for this reason the Influence can
! not be so personal ns If their stay were more
extended.
Probably the best work done by the mis
sion Is along preventive lines. A number of
young girls Just on the verge of ruin have
been restrained and led Into paths of peace
saved from Joining the ranks of the fallen.
Slstei Sarah Is an Indefatigable laborer In
this branch of the work , and In addition to
regular work In Sunday school and nt the
mission , makes many visits with most
beneficent results. Doth she and Mother
Caroline are unwearying In their ready re
sponse .to calls to any part of the city
where they can help or save those In trouble
It Is -pity' that rwork so needed and
who30 record Is to excellent should bo con
tinually crippled for funds. It Is not de
nominational except In control. Girls of all
classes and faith are among the Inmates
the need Is the only passport required. Any
one Interested In the work Is always welcome
to visit the mission at 2508 Davenport strocl
i and help of any kind for carrying on UK
work will lie gladly received. Ilev. Johr
Williams Is treasurer of the board of control

ATomcn Whu Knuw How to Keep
Their O n Counicl nnil ( letDown
Down to llustiicus.
NEW YORK , Nov. 14. ( Special. )
Prompted by a spirit of ridicule or a desire
to know that which Is strenuously with
held , much Interest has been manifested and
many articles written upon the Clvltas club
of Brooklyn.
The girls who constitute this club were
daughters of conservative parents and wished
to avoid , rather than to seek , notoriety , bo
llcvlng that the ends they have hoped to ac
complish might be better secured by moving
In a quiet manner , rather than by proclaim
ing their purpose abroad with a flourish of
trumpets. So they calmly went on In their
well bred way , refusing to talk of their
alms and declining all Invitations to have
their photographs appear In the papers.
The result of this policy has been that the
Clvltas club stands today firmly grounded ,
a body of 175 young women strong , whose
example has been emulated or the desire to
do so evinced by the women of other cities.
Letters from many quarters asking for in
formation are constantly received from those
desirous of organizing In a like manner.
And It Is In tesponso to these letters to
show the purpose In organizing the club and
the methods adopted that tills article Is
now written.
THE CLUB'S BEGINNING" .
Last fall a great political wave swept over
Brooklyn. A political meeting was called
by the Woman's Health Protective associa
tion , at which 600 representative women were
ptcsent.
A strong desire was expressed to see their
city purified nnd their own Influence was
voted on the side of good government. Some
of the daughters of the women were present
and It was the casual remark of one of these
girls that led to the forming of the Clvltas
club. "Interested ? " she afterward replied ,
In answer to a question put to her , "I should
say that I * was , I wanted to get up nnd
make a speech myself. " This remark was
overheard by a woman who had long be-
lltved that the society girl possessed a latent
power of development ; that backed by her
position , Influence , cultivation , wealth and
beauty that power should bo limitless , and
she determined to give her n chance. She
sent out printed Invitations to a number of
girls In Brooklyn Inviting them to a "parlor
talk" In her own drawing room , the subject
being "How Girls In Society Can Exert an
Influence for the Moral Uplifting of Their
City. " Speeches were made by several ol
the older women , In which the girls were ap
pealed lo to use their power , politically and
morally , for the good of the city.
PURPOSES OF THE MOVEMENT.
The Idea was not for women to go Into
politics , but to Inform themselves Intelligently
on matters that so nearly affected them.
It was an appeal for them to live for
something beside pleasure an earnest cflor
to Incite them toward development am
growth along lines entirely new. The glr
who said that she would like to make a
speech rose to her feet and with glowing
checks offered her maiden effort. She
thanked the women for the interest shown
and said that she , for one , was ready to re
spond. Her courage inspired others and a
club was organized , the hostess appointing
the young lady who had spoken as prcslden
and others as vice president , treasurer am
secretary , and the possibilities of the club
were considered. " The name Clvltas wa
adopted , nnd the ultimate object of the club
was to be' the good of the city. It wa
agreed that the first year would be purely
educational and that once a month the clu
should have a prominent man address then
In some form of municipal life ; .that meet
Ings should bo held every alternate tw
weeks , nt which papers should be read
written by the girls themselves , either upon
borne municipal topic or a question of the
day. The Invitations sent out were as fol
lows :
"You are cordially Invited to become'
member of the Clvltas club. The object ol
the club will be to awaken an Interest In
matters pertaining to our municipal welfare
and to foster all movements within the circle
of Us influence which have for their end the
Improvement of any phase of city life. "
The subjects selected for study were
Education In our city , art advantages of oui
city , the newspapers of Brooklyn , the amuse
ments of Brooklyn , the government and
courts of Brooklyn , the philanthropic
societies and hospitals of Brooklyn , the
prisons and reformatories of Brooklyn , etc.
DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY.
f It was not an easy matter to organize sue
cessfully. Like all novel movements , the
club had to combat opposition , taking a torn
. that Is hardest to bear , ridicule , and tin
movompnt would have come to naught hui
for the earnestness of the senior director , UK
woman who had originated the Idea. No
only were the Jests of brothers nnd thi
satire of club men to bo borne , but In man ]
cases the girls themselves had to bo "talkec
, over. "
, The officers said that they would be sat
Isfled If they started with fifty members , bu
to their astonishment the enrollment at tin
first meeting showed 129 names. Of thi
owners of these names , the Sun , In a , wlttj
; article , said that 100 of them were pretty , am
added that the prettier the girl the less shi
knew about politics. Exception was taken t (
the fact that she went to the meeting In he
own carriage and were fine frocks , but sh
ought net to have been blamed for that
She didn't possess anything else ! It wa
thought best to limit the membership to 175
as a body of that number would have grcate.
. union , therefore greater flexibility and power
Ten members , appointed each , time by twi
directors , receive and "usher nt the meet
Ings , appearing without hats , and acting a
hostesses. This Elves to the club a socla
atmosphere , and Is the means of brlng'ln
together different members hitherto not ac
qualntcd ,
Among the distinguished men who ad
dressed the club were Hon. St. Clalr Me
Kehvay , editor of the Brooklyn Eagle , Mi
Norman L. Sllke , a popular young club ma
just elected supervisor , who explained full ;
the method of voting , and Hon. Stewart I
Woodford , who also spoke on munlclpa
, affairs. During Lent , Rev. W. J. Ralnsforcl
D.D. , came and talked upon "Practical Phi
lanthropy In Large Cities1' and fhe 'los
public meeting was addressed by Hon. Frd
erlck W. Jllnrlchs , who endeavored to ex
plain the 'intricacies otHho tariff.
In practical work , the cjub from Its fund
has supported a Rtd Cross nurse during th
summer months In the tenement house dls
trlct. and Is undertaking and will conduc
experimentally for a year a work among in
capable children at the Kings count ; * hospltc
In Brooklyn.
Whllo many of th.o members thus fa
have been passive ones , others , to whom sue
work was new , have studied and wrltter
and It Is hoped in another year , by means c
appointing committees , to convert the whol
Into an active working body. That th
girls have responded go well has surprise
even the most cynical.
It was long slnco learned that combine
forces produced greatest results. The col
lege girl has organized In deference to he
alma mater. The working girl from motive
of self-defense and development. It remalne
for the society girl , to whom everything ha
been given , and of whom nothing was ei
.acted , to organize thrmtch love and altmlstlo
natives alone , nnd perhaps to accomplish the
creates ! rcsu'ts. '

At the regular rciildn of the county com
missioners held -ynterday ( afternoon
r. N. H. Patrick .and . flfty-el ht other
estdents of DuruUte Place and Car
nage filed a petition i asking that the two
luburban districts bet Incorporated as a vll-
ago under the nanionof Dundee. They also
asked that J. N. H. Patrick , D. L. Johnson ,
W. L. Selby , J. D. aarmlclmel and E. R.
lumo bo named as the trustees until an elec-
Ion could be held. The measure was urged
iy Robert W , Patrick , who stated to the
] oard that there wcro certain Improvements
which the residents of the two additions de
sired to make , but that they were prevented
from doing the same on account of being
without legal authority.
The matter was referred to the committee
on Judiciary and Mr. Williams , who repre
sents the district In which the two additions
are located.
County Treasurer Ircy was authorized to
employ one or more delinquent tax collec
tors. whoso duties should bo to deal exclu
sively with personal tax. Payment of the
; alarle3 will bo made- from the general fund
] y warrant and out of the collections made.
The rate of payment will be as follows : On
the taxcs'of 1693 , 3 per cent ; 1892 , 6 ; 1891 ,
8 ; 1S90 , 10 ; 1889 , 12 ; 1888 , 13 , nnd 1887. 15
per cent.
The charity committee reported against
he proposition of letting the Associated Char
ities handle the distribution of aid among the
outsldo poor , the county attorney furnishing
an opinion that such a course would be
Illegal. However , the , board decided to go
as far as possible and co-operate with the
association In relieving suffering.
In order that the members might become
more familiar with those receiving aid from
the county , by the adoption of a resolution
the following assignments were made for the
county store , each man to go there In the
morning and remain during the day : Sten-
berfc' , November 19 and 21 ; Jenkins , Novcm
be.20 and 26 ; Llvescy , Novem
ber 21 and 27 ; Williams , Novem
ber 22 and 28 ; Paddock , November 23
and 30. By being at the store the commis
sioners are of the opinion that they will be
enabled to learn more concerning the appli
cants nnd thus shut out many Impostors who
now apply for and frequently receive as
sistance.
The sum of $5,500 from the Judgment and
$1,200 from the hospital fund was trans
ferred to the general fund.
Sheriff Drexcl asked for two shotguns and
100 rounds of ammunition. The request was
referred to committee.
Wyoming's New Uovernor.
It may not be generally known that Hon.
William A. nichards , recently elected gov
ernor of Wyoming upon the republican
ticket. Is an Omaha boy. Mr. Richards
left the parental roof-tree at Galena , III , ,
and turning toward the setting sun , tempted
fortune hero along In. the early ' 70s. As
a young man , he was , for some time , con
nected with the Omaba Republican , then
owned by Casper E. Yoit and Senator Hitch
cock , both of whom always predicted success
for their youthful protoge. With Chauncey
Wiltse , now of Fullcrton , he surveyed the
Pawnee Indian reservation In Nance county ,
and developed his istnjlng qualities In en
gineering work In nthor parts of the state.
Along In " 1873 he studied law in the ofllco of
Judge Wakcley. 'At Galena , the home of
General Grant , there had always existed a
close bond of friendship between the presi
dent'and Mr. Richards'family. [ In 1874 Mr ,
'Richards , with his ( elder brother , Captain A.
V. Richards , secured' the contract for the
surveying- the -southern boundary of the
territory of Wyoming. This work was so
welV'done , and so satisfactory to the/general
land department , that the .succpedlng year
saw Mr. Richards mndhls brotner engaged
In surveying the western boundary of the
territory.
Mr. Richards evidently/ believes that there
Is always room at the top. Some time In
1SSO he : went to Colorado and took up a
homestead above the Half-way house , and
very near the summit of Pike's Peak , -where
ha lived with his family for about two years.
, He1 afterward moved JLO Wyoming , establish
ing a horse and cattle * ranch In the Big Horn
basin , and uulldlng a new homo at a place
which he christened Lost Cabin , about 100
miles from nowhere , and now In Johnson
county , of which he rwas elected one of Its
first commissioners. His unbending Integ
rity , level-headed judgment , and his thor
, ough acquaintance with the topography of
the state caused President Harrison to appoint
him surveyor general of Wyoming , and his
faithful and conscientious performance of the
exacting duties of that position logically
prompted the republican party of the state
to cofer upon htm , unsolicited , the highest
office In Its f ower.
His charming and accomplished wife , who ,
with unwavering confidence In the winning
qualities of her husband , has shared with
him the novel and often trying phases
of pioneering In the boundless west , will bo
remembered by the older residents of our
e city as Miss Alice Hunt , the daughter of
n Milan Hunt , ono of Omaha's early settlers.

It It Is a long time since anything was said
In the daily papers about this Institution ,
but during all this time tt has continued to
do good work for poor suffering humanity.
This year-we have had totreat a larger
number of poor sufferers who have not been
able to pay than ever before , and consequently
quently the Institution is at present in
greater need of help from the benevolent
public than at any-previous time. We do
not need to explain everything in detail , we
cannot make personal solicitation for help.
We simply state the fact that this Institu
tion for some time , has been unable to meet
Its heavy running expenses , and at present
Is In greatest need of assistance.
Trusting that the benevolent public , at the
coming Thanksgiving will consider the Immanuel -
manuel hospital worthy of some support In
money and provisions , I remain , very re
spectfully , E. A. FOOELSTROM ,

Night Hehool Tnlkril Of.
There lus been considerable complaint
made to the Agricultural department In
Washington that the Inspectors In Couth
Omaha have been altogether too previous or
too strict In Inspecting and condemning
what are generally known as "piggy" BJWS
at the stock yards. Mr. 1'axton , superin
tendent at the yards , spoke of several In
stances where the government Inspectcrs
had made mistakes.
Dr. W. S. De Vera , general ag-jnt for the
Agricultural department Is hero and will In
vestigate the complaints. The men who l.nve
been doing the nntemortcm Inspection at the
yards are ICvcrctt , 1'ayno and ( ical. Uvtretl
Is a horse doctor , Payne Is a farmer nnd
Deal Is a butcher. The last I line thnt Agent
Do Vera was hero ho sized up the Inspection
gang and recommended several changes ,
which were promptly made. There arj Inspectors
specters on the force now who nro trembling
In their boots for fear that thb sumo gentle
man will recommend that their heads bo
chopped off. _
Arranging far a 1'roo Nlglit School.
Mr. A. N. llagan , secretary of the school
board , Is making a strong effort to Introduce.
a night school system In South Omaha.
There are many young men and boys who ara
struggling along to earn a living for them
selves , and In many Instances for a mother
and other smaller children , who cannot go to
school In the day time who would jump at a
chance to go In the evening. It Is for this
reason that Mr. llagan Is Insisting that the
school board open a free night school. The
matter was talked of last year , but when
It was known that a fee was to be charged
the board was unable to get enough pupils
to make the undertaking a success. The
matter has already been discussed by the
Hoard of Education , and will como up again
at the next regular meeting for final settle
ment. There are boys found on the streets
every night who , by a little encouragement
could bo Induced to go to night school and
kept from mischief , to say nothing of the
advantage Itwould give them to learn.
