April rr.-iSpe-clal.)-There Is quite a little excitement among aome of the saloon men over ths action of ona of their number last evening in filing protests against twelve others on the grounds that they have not thirty, or a majority of the freeholders of their respective wards on their petitions and that they havo been violating the Blocumb law by keeping the back doors of their places of business open on Bunday and selling their wares. It was filed by Jamea Foley, himself a saloon man. because the chief of police filed a protest before the council against granting Foley a license for the ensuing yesr. charging violation of law. The protest by him is an effort to strike back or to save himself. No action ao far haa been taken by the council upon the protests brought In by Foley, but that of the chief against him has been set for hearing tomorrow evening, and a lively contest is expected In view or the fact that the police authorities evidence a disposition not to be bluffed into withdrawing their remonstrance.

Ka Charitable tfoaae. The Home ror Missionaries' Children, at Morgan Park. 111., was the subject of in teresting talks by Mrs. W. E. Hopkins, missionary to India, and Mrs. R, Price, former sessionary to Bunnah. Both wo men talked feelingly of the work of the home and its necessity. That Hs purpose had been criticised was conceded, but this criticism, tbey asserted, came from a com plete unfamlliarity with the objects of the home. They maintained it was not in any sense a charitable institution and the mis sionary parents of the children placed there paid fully and freely ror the support and care or the children. In many instances the children were born In foreign lands and while given the earlier care of their parents had sooner er later to be brought under the civilising Influences or a home denied them In the missionary fields, they were confided to the home, where they were surrounded by all that was good and pure in Christian Influences. The mission ary parents or these children could not save the field of their missionary labors, lest the work that they had inaugurated should laruruiah. The ciaaionary parents were not less human and loving than other parents. Tbey had been educated for the missionary field and their lives were con secrated to the work. It had been found after many years of experience that celi bacy was not conducive to the best efforts In missionary work. The life of the mis sionaries, both men and women, was ardu ous and lonely and ror this reason the gen eral missionary board advocated ths intro duction or married workers in the foreign fielda. Care at the Chllslrea. Then came the question of the care of the children of the missionaries and hence the establishment of the Morgan Park Home. "It should not." said Mrs. Price, with tears ii. her eyes, "be contused aith an orphanage. We have often, oh, so often, longed for the presence or our children while we were away doing Gods work. But as Ha bad commanded tis to make some sacrifice, we felt that though many thousand or miles separated us from our loved ones. God was with them and us." The morning session concluded with s brier talk by Mrs. A. M. Post, of South Dakota, on the publications or the society, which are the Bulletin, the Helping Hand, Around the World and tbe Missionary Mag azine, all or which are devoted especially to the dissemination or roreign missionary Intelligence.
