An Intelligent public sentiment must como before nny law will be oftcctlve. But the gicatest function of all must bo to oxerclso a wise supervision over the whole system of public Institutions. Supervision of county Institutions Is moro Important than that of state. It must keep public and charitable work In general from becoming Involved In the meshes of parties nnd politics. This , clearly , can be uccom- pllshed more easily and effectively through advisory boards than through boards of con trol. There are four st'itcs In which the boards have been absolutely divorced from politics , Ohio , Indiana , Michigan and .Minne sota. J. P. Djers of Columbus , O , had for his subject , "State Hoard of Charities" Ho spoke of the work of the Ohio board , of which ho has been secretary for several years. Ills titno has been spent partly In personal visitation of county Institutions , auch as Jails , Infirmaries and orphan asy lums. He has visited these In every county In fie state and was able to glvo a com prehensive Idea of the practical sldo of the work of the state board. Ho said that the board must become a gencial Intelligence olllce'although the main duties were not pcrfoimcd at the meetings of the boaid. The paper prepared by J. S. Appel of Denver on the subject of "State Hoards of f Charities" was read by J. F. Jackson of St. Paul. H was partly a history elf state boards from the establishment of the ' flist In Massachusetts In 1853 to the present day , outlining the growth In power nnd In fluence that has Inevitably succeeded the appreciation of Its need. Ho strongly ad , vocated the appointment of at least one woman on each board In the following words : c "In regard to the personnel of a state board the advantage of having thereon a broad minded vvomau cannot be overlooked. The state of New York has In manv cases confessed Its Indebtedness to woman com missioners for valuable services. In these days of women's clubs manv private charit able Institutions are being established anil s the result natuially follows that not all ol 0 thtt-e are worthy of the support of a gener ous public. The state board can be of value in checking or preventing duplication ami work. I'ndcr any circumstances a state board of Umrltles and correction composed of men nnd women with duo regard to theli n solemn obligations Is the best and safes ! authority to entrust with the exercise ol Biich duties " C'linrUy Orjjriiiil/iitlon. j The subject for the afternoon session was s "Charity Organization. " Two addresses were delivered along the line suggested bj the general subject and these In attend' ouco went away knowing a great deal more about the alms and objects of the confer ence. At 4 o'clock nn adjournment was taken to Llnlngct's art gallery , where : * reception to the delegates was held and re- frcuhiueiits served. The first speaker of the afternoon was r I N. S. Hcteenau of New York , whojc subject - ' ject was "The Charity Organlratlcn Idea. ' Mr. Kosenau's address , which was deliverer clearly and concisely , was a wonderful reve lation to these who never paid special at tention to the subject of charity work. Hi ppoKo from many jears of experience It the work of organized charily In the cast Mr. HObcnau spoke In part as follous : For yoara machinists luwo been worklnf to overcome two forces , friction and loa motion.

So we find that a burden of various schemes for the help of the suffering , and all rubbing against each other with n deal of friction and lost mo tion. There are a do en different efforts alining at the same class and a dozen wheels ! driving the same bit of machinery. Then I charity organization notices this and comes Into the field , bo that every effort shall count anil the various workers shall co-operate. lloiiNi- for riinrH > ' A charity organization stands as a sort of nn inlet. It Is a clearing house and alms to exert n general educational Influence on the , community. There is a higher charity than ' the giving of mon ° y. Its motto Is , "Not alms , but a friend " i .Chailty organisation has to contend with o great deal. It alma to study the subject so Hint the one who Is deserving may bo helped and the ninety-nine who are not may not be degraded by perpetual alma-giving. ' The question Is a difficult one because the i man v\ho needs help most Is the one v\ho Unites to let the world know of his poverty. And yet with the millions of dollars that ore spent annually for charitable purposes , pauperism Is Increasing at an enormous rate Criminals arc being bred In larger numbers every year. We cannot say where the end I will be. but we can exert our most earnest 1 offcrts to keep down the tide , and we may hope for success In the end. , | J. K. Jackson of St. Paul spoke on "Ap- , plication of the Charity Organization Ideate to Cities of 5,000 to 20,000. " Ho said In part : , The problem of the cltv Is said to be the ! problem of the ago. The proper attitude toward the neglected , dependent and delln- ' fluent Is ono of the most Important elements | In the city problem because , thcinsclvos n part of the community , their Influence Is al ways dcstuictlve. It Is Interesting to ob- ecrvo that just as a cut calls out the curative * qualities of the blood , eo the presence of parasitism and the destructive clement In the community calls nut the opposite leiul- < ncics. No society possesses more of this curative element than the charity organiza tion society. Alms that are given except as the result of adequate Investigation are usually mls- pU < wd and minister to laziness , licentious ness and crime much more often than to physical need. Charltv Is n science and It Is as important to consult the organization agent as It Is to consult the lawjrr on his specialty. Representatives of every charity In a small city should meet at stated Inter vals as a council for conference and to s > e- cure harmonious action. The question naturally arises how a small city Is to af ford to pay the agent. It has been found practicable to employ the agent bv the hour and perhaps limit' the number of hours' service A cardinal doctrineof charity organisa tion In larger cities la that material relief Is iuir given from Its treasury. The smal ler cities will do well to adopt this doc trine. The important thing to bo borne In mind everywhere Is that the essential ele ment In charity is not dollars , but prin ciples. The work Is never easy , but It Is alwavs worth while After the reading of the last paper n gen eral discussion was engaged In. In which the subject of "tho friendly visit" was con sidered at borne length. From this the In formal talk drifted Into a discussion ot the tramp pioblem nnd several minor details that had not been touched upon by the two papers were taken ui > nnd gene over at length. At1 o'clock the members ad journed to the art gallery. ( ( iiiciTiiliin Industrial SrliutilH , Last evening's session wns devoted to the consideration of the subject "Industrial School Work. " A larger nudlenco was In at tendance than at nny other session. Three papers vvcro to have been presented , but the tlrst speaker , \V. C. Kllvlngton of Nash ville , Tenn , was absent and as ho had not pent his paper a llttlo moro time was al lowed for the discussion of the topics sug gested by the other speakers The subject of Industrial school work proved to be the moat Interesting of the conference so far. The first speaker of the evening was Ur W A Hale of Dayton , O Ills special phase of the general subject was entitled "Man- _ ual Training and Education In S'ntc Reformatories formatoriesHe spoke In part as follows , Reformatories are predicated upon the Idea that the luuiutes arc where they are because Pungent Pointers for Pros pective Purchasers , here you are.

If ft were noise so the subject would be somewhere else. It Is our duty to ascertain the ailment , to In vestigate the causes. In this study the El- mlra Institution has done most to discover why subjects llnd their way to Its care. In that Institution there are 1,200 able-bodied men under 30 years of age. Ninety-two per cciit of these who enter Im\o had no Indus- I trial tialningbatoer and SI per cent of ' these who leave the Institution are re formed. When a young man or woman I graduates from the High school ho or she generally bcllovea that an education has been acquired. What Is the result ? Many of them llnd that they hae no way to make a living nnd eventually they become crim- 1 itials , and such as these arc criminals of the | worbt class , because they Imvc been trained In early life to believe that the world owe- them n living. When they get hungry they will not engage In what they consider mean I and degrading toll , hut prnfcr to steal They uro caught and convicted nnd the state re formatory takes them In chaigo and tep.cheb them a trade that they might as well have learned much earlier In life. The lesson Is that Vie must either ceato to create In the ' jouth the spirit that has given to the world her Dewey nnd her Hobson , or nnd our selves against the problem of teaching In dustrial work to a greater extent In the public schools , giving to the pupils the I means of earning a livelihood rather than 1 cramming their heads with useless book- learning. 1 When IB n man educated ? Not when ho 1 graduates from college , but when he has been clothed with the wardrobe of Amer- Icanlsm when ho has freedom of Intellect 1 and freedom of muscle. Ho must realize ! that , rich or poor , ho was born to bo useful ; that ho was not meant to bo the froth at the top of society or the dregs atthe bet tom. The rich man's heart and the poor man's heart must beat In unison both striv ing at the same Ideal. Work. AIIIOIIK llo > M. The second paper of the evening was read by G. W. lloxlo of Kearney , Neb. , superin tendent of the State Industrial school. Ho spoke on "educational and Reformatory Work. " The paper was in part. I find hi dealing with boys with disposi tions as varied as their personalities vurlouu methods are necessary to bring about the best results. Therefore , It is my aim and dcslro to study and weigh the matter , what ever the case inaj be , to the end that no child may bo neglected or his future life blighted by a misunderstanding of his posl- | tlon or the misguided training of his youth. The educational feature of our school em braces several branches of Industries. School work Is the first and most Important , and sessions nro held five hours a day. After I this the bojs attend their regular detail I duties In the different departments , which i compilso the printing ofllce , tailor shop , I shoo shop , carpenter shop , bakery , kitchen , < boiler house , machine shop , laundry , farm- I Ing and gardening , over each of which a I pi'ictlcal foreman presides. I believe that the nearest that we can get to the discipline of the ideal Christian homo results In the most good , although military trulnhg is an , all Important factor In the discipline which wo havu Instituted ! The question of how long ft boy shall re main in the Industrial school depends upon the disposition of the boy , his ago and con ditions that would surround htm otter lenv- i Ing the school A large number of the boy committed to the school are sent on account of having no homo. These should have good homos provided for them outside of the school. There Is a class that have good i homes , but have been allowed to roam the I streets until they have become tainted with I vlco nnd have pro .MI up In Idleness. Thcso i should be retained In the school until they ' have learned the lesson of Industrious habits. I There are the unfortunate boys who are born Into the world amidst vlco nnd sin. i This class taxes the energy ami patience of I these engaged In the work. They must be retained until they have received a literary I education that will fit them for the battle of life , a religious training that will be proof against pitfalls nnd an Industrious training that will open the avenues of honest em ployment The subject for the session this morning will bo , "Tho Prison Question " Papers will be read by Rev.

WHO IS IT HATH THE VICTORY ItiiMil rrnnUllu I'olnlH ( Mil < lu > AVorUi ot Hardily Triumphs' roiit- imri-il willi ntfriilt ) . Uabhl Leo M. Franklin , pastor of the Tem ple of Israel , preached the annual sermon commemorating the commencement of a now year last evening at the temple. The serv ice was partly ono of song and the congre gation which gathered to hear It was an unusually laige one. Ilabbl Tranklln said In part : "For the seventh time It Is my sacred privilege to bo welcomed on a now year's cvo by this congregation. For the bovcnth time on a now year's cvo It Is my privilege to say to ycm In the Fathers words ' .May jou enjoy a jcar of happiness , peace nnd contentment ; a vear of higher tiuth , of nobler toll , a jear that will bring you to higher Ideals than you have ever had before. In greeting you on this new year's eve I can only say : Love defend you , Peace at tend you through the glad new year. May health and comfort bo jour portion without I grief or sadness. Once when I walked In the meadows and through the woods , amid hills I whoso purple tops kissed the he.uens. In | the state where my college dajs were passed , forgetful of all save nature's beauties , I then realized for the first tlino what must have been the poofs thoughts when he said : 'Tho groves were Ood's first temples. ' While lost to everything save thoughts like these , suddenly there fell upon my ear n song bo sweet 1 thought at once of the lyre of Or- I > hcii3. 1 sought to find the source of ho much sweetness , but the llttlo spe = k ol tluttcrlng life was hid among the clouds. A lark so small that a little child might easily have crushed It In the hollow of Us hand i "Tonight the memory of that song comes j hack to me , suggested by the thoughts ol Another jear. Confronted by Intense reall- ties , I remember the song of the lark. In the lark Itself I see the thing material , easily ' destroyed. Its song has eternal life. It l 1 an old lesson , as old as time iUelf. In life ' i thcro Is that which time destroys and thai 1 which endures forever. Who In this life by [ his manner of living can count a victory ? 1 i Surely not ho who can watch hlo gold In 1 glittering heaps , but upon whoso every nug get shines the marks which tell of another' ; misery. Not he who sits at his well filled table and turns away from the gaunt hand of poverty outstretched for crumbs to stay the pangs of hunger. Not ono of these can count a victory. Time , crowned master , once ngaln tonight brands these as Its fooli and tools. Look back and count your vic tories , you men of wealth , of position , whom these called the other half so greatly envy. The Jlnglo of your gold Is a pleasant sound , hut can It soothe your aching hearts or lull to rest jour wearied brain ? Can It pul strength Into the limbs of your child In whom your life Is centered , hut on whoss brow are the marks which say ho shall not bo yours for long ? Can you carry It to ( he grave any moro that the poorest of the j earth ? Nay , Death levels the distinction : men realize. The rich die and their gold Is squandered without icgard for the haml . that earned It. When the good die theli goodness Is a monument that rlsea to tin vaultrd sky. The good man Is not afraid tc die , his righteousness goes before him. Ill ; and his alone la the victory. " Morliillt ) .SlullNlli'N.

IT GOT TO HEAR HITCHCOCK Croud < Im < TIIMIN Out ( n Hear TCMMU- In I'nl OIY Mlth 11 I.oral hllllNtlllllO. Not to let the monetary convention pass without getting Rome political benefit out of It , the silver men had a sort of mass meeting last night In Crelghton hall which was ad dressed by 0. M. Hitchcock , the candidate for congiess In this district , and ex-Con- giessman H. F. Hartlno of Nevada , editor of the Natalonal Dlmetalllst of Washington , D. C. Mr Hitchcock urged upon Ills audience that the utmost care was necessaiy to ns- sure Senator Allen's re-election by having an Allen legislative delegation sent to Lin coln this winter , and ho ma do the most of the rumors that the War department had not properly taken care of the army In 'the labt war and since it ended , predicting a fate for It similar to that of the Aberdeen ministry In England after the Crimean war. There would bo no Investigation , ho said , unless a democratic , populist nnd silver re publican congress Is elected , The rudimentary principles of the silver question afforded Mr. Hartlno subject mat ter for discussion for an hour or more , and ho went over ciltlcally the aiguments made by Kdward Atkinson , Horace White , Con gressman Fowler and McCleary and others dining the sessions of the monetary congress In their support of the gold standard. Ills main points were that the quantitative the ory of money IB self-demonstratlvo In the need of a sufficient volume ot money , that silver using nations like India are enabled under the gold standaid to successfully com- pelo with both the American nnd Kngllsh wheat producer , also the cotton manufac turing intercuts of both nations , that Htop- plng the free coinage of silver is icspouslblc for the divergence of the exchange value of the two metals , and that contraction of the money volume has resulted In a general fall of prices. Piosperlty nnd a falling mar- j ket could not go together , ho aigued ; fur- ] thermoro that high wages and low prices , could not go together htcauso the cost of j labor Is Included In the prices demanded for I productn nnd wages aio paid out of the prices. j I Congressmen Towno of Minnesota and | Hnitman of Montana , having already left for home , disappointed the audience , aa It had teen supposed they would address the meet ing also.
