Efficiency In the Work.
Standards of efficiency have steadily risen
In child saving work. Methods employed
ton years ngo have been abandoned by
nearly all child .nvlng societies In the.
country and newer and better methods
adopted A few ye ira ago It was consid
ered entirely satisfactory to write letters to
pciple residing In the community wliera a
family wnnted a child for adoption and to
put this child on the train with a tag fas
tened to him and acini him to that family.
Present accepted methods require a per
sonal visit to the home und a careful study
of conditions before tiny child is taken to
tha home on trlHl. AIho the present demand
Is that during tnls period of trial personal
visits be made by some representative of
the society or Institution In charge of a
child before consent to adoption is slven.
This kind of wori now Involves the neces
sity for the employment of efficient help
ers. A few years ago It waa expected In
many places that broken-down ministers
hunting for places might take up the child
saving work or that former school teachers
who had failed In their work might be em
ployed. Everywhere at present those, em
ployed In child saving worn must be In
dividuals who are In demand and who can

he relied upon for thoroughness and effi
ciency and progresslveness. The problems
to be dealt with are the most Intricate and
difficult of solution of almost any kind of
problems in the community. Shall a child
be taken front Its mother or from parents
of doubtful moral character, or from cer
tain conditions of poverty, and thus natural
ties broken and perhaps hones broken up.
are some of the questions Involving far
reaching results. In the selootiun of a home
so many things are to be taken into ac
count that most careful study Is demanded,
recognizing that upon the decision made
the future destiny of the c'lld Is depending.
Keep Parents nnd Children Together.
There should never be separation of
parents and children without the clear
evidence of overwhelming necesslLv. Every
reasonable effort should be made to pre
vent, iu It bus happened many times that
parents have brought their children to
the Child Saving Institute for the purpose
of giving them up to go Into homes for
adoption, when we refused to allow them
to sign papers for relinquishment. In
some of these cases wo cared for tlio
children temporarily and by advice and co
operation with the parents the catastrophe
of a broken family was avoided. 'e
emphasize this matter because It Is well
known that many child sirvlng societies in
the past have encouraged parents to give
up' their children when there exlfted no
real necessity for It. In many coses It
grew out of a spirit of selfishness. Such
an act constitutes a crime against society.
The child Is torn from its own kindred und
the parents in many cases deprived of the
only Incentive they have to the battle
against poverty, misfortune, evil habits,
etc The Child Saving Institute expends j
time nnd money In the endeavor to stscure 1
re"i.nciliations between husbands and ,
wlves. to help widows secure employment '
and to give encouragement to the faint
hearted in order to prevent tne breaking up
of home and the separation of parents and
children. Tbe results have more than
Justified the efforts.
Lancer ((narwri.
The Institute has outgrown the present
building and grounds. For more thun a
year past we have rented un adjoining
cottage at a cost, of f3l per month, but this
does not furnish room enough. An averuge
of llfty-flve to sixty children daily, often
ith some on the sick list, has overtaxed
our building. By comparison of the volume ,
of our work with rhildrens' homes In Iowa
Minnesota, Illinois and in other states
where similar numbers of children are
namiiefl we nnd then- nuuuing and grounds
could do much more efficient work and I
could meet the demands of the normal
Increase of the volume of our work.
While some of our friends have made
provision in their wills for ganerous gifts
to the Institute, that does not furnish us
present "'" 1M w",m 01 ,larVn"
rt!"'nlred. The same principle applies to
charitable Institutions. No private Tnstltu
lion of charity can hope for permanent
iiccs- without endowment. Many of
these In eastern states have large endow
ments. The same is tris? in some of the
western states. At Portland. Ore., one
donor to an Institution similar to ours
some years ago presented Sto.uiiO In cash
In thin fund, und since that time about
t-IO.OUO more has been added. We nuaht to
have an endowment fund of lltmooo at
present and are hoping for large gifts
in this direction from our friends during
the coming year.

PRINCE NAPOLEON IS BUSY
Frenchman la Russian service In
vent lira ten Conditions In the
Province of Erlran.
ERIVAN. Nov 12. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Prince Louis Napoleon, the
military' governor of the province of Erl
van. has Just returned from a prolonged
tour of inspection In the Zangesur district,
which is the chief scene of disturbance In
Transcaucasia, and which, although It be
longs to t lie province of Elisabetpol. has
been temporarily added to thu region ud
mlnistered by the governor general of
Erlvan. Prince I-ouis Napoleon, who In a
few days will leave for the west, will not
be able to give a very, good account of
the district he has Just visited. The natural
difficulties In the wny of good administra
tion are great. There are practically no
roads and although Glrlusy Is In tele
graphic communication with Rhusha the
other parts of the district are quite cut off
from the outside world.
On reaching Mlnkend the prince took
vigorous meal-Urea. The principal Inhabi
tants were arrested and the Tartar In
habitants of the village who took an active
part In the massacre were deported and
settled by twos and Uirees In other villages.
U 'us also Proposed It possible to make
arrangements for the permanent separation
of Tartars and Armenians In the district.
In addition, aome of the most turbulent
Begs and some Armenian extremist who
are regarded as culpable were banished.
Prince Louis Napoleon' observations
since hi appointment as governor general
have led him to the conclusion that so far
as this province is concerned the Mussul
mans were the Initiators of the disorders
and that although It Is Impossible to auouit
t he Armenians of havlmr li. some cases
assumed the offensive, going beyond the .
strict limits of self-defense, their fault I
ie8S sravp ma,mm.n a9 it wa8 tne rpju!t
of Pilous violence.
A serious difficulty In this region as well
as in other parts of the Caucasus Is the
necessity of allowing the Inhabitants to
carry arms. Tho best and most obvious
ma"''e uld be the complete dlsarma
ment of the whole population. A simul
taneous disarmament would demand an
Immense number of troops and a successive
disarmament would be quite useless, as
successively disarmed villages would at
once provide themselves with new weapons.
The proximity of the Persian frontier ren
der this an easy matter. In the province
of Erlvan and the Zangcsur district the.
problem has been provisionally solved by
allowing those In the districts to carry
revolver and "cold weapons" (knives and
daggers) for Mclf-defense, while forbidding
the possession of all arms In tho towns
except by spec lid permission. U is obvious,
of course, that any prohibition to carry
arm falls most heavily on that part of the
j population which la most peaceably disposed
ana taw abiding.
The outlook for the winter In the Cau
casus Is not reassuring. The reconciliation
processions Which have taken place in vari
ous places in the presence of the ahelkh
ulslam and members of th higher Ar
menian clergy are generally regarded a
an empty farce, and It la Indeed clear that
the scenes which have been witnessed and
recounted durlna the Ur van n ik
i mon,h cannot be obliterated from the
memories 01 euner party by any formal
demonstrations of friendship.

There Will be quite a lot of business to '

evening. The vote cast at the sewer bond
election will be canvassed and a report of
the findings filed with the city clerk. It Is
not expected that any errors will be found
which will change the result as already
published.
Then there will be the question of pay
ing the officials who conducted the primary
election last September. This matter has
never been settled as far as the city Is
concerned. The election officers declare
that they are entitled to $3 each for the
day's work from the city, regardless of
what they receive' from the county. It
will be for the council to decide tonight
whether these claims shall be paid or not.
Mayor Koutsky will hand In a veto c-t
ordinance No. 1475. This le being done at
the request of the Vnlon Pacific Railroad
company. The ordinance Is one that was
passed last Thursday night and relates to
the vacating of certain portions of East
boulevard. After this ordinance, which
was one of four passed for the railroad
company, was enacted, an error was dis
covered and hence the veto. Another ordi
nance la to be presented to take the place
of the one returned to the council without
the approval of the mayor. The amended
ordinance is similar to the one passed and
tt.e change merely chanyes the record
slightly and provides that the railroad com
pany do some grading that was not In
cluded in the first ordinance.
Repairing; Heavy Track.
The street car company has a force of
men at work raising the track on Twenty
fourth street In places where the rails were

will be completed in a few dtys and then
H Is expected that the paving will com
mence. Contractor James Parks, who has
charge of the Twenty-fourth street paving,
said yesterday that Just aB soon an the
I street car company had rclald Its rails as
far south as I street that he would start
paving. The concrete mixer Is doing good ,
work and Is kept running ten hours each j
day. Mr. Parks says that he will start at ,
I street to lay the paving and pave up hill
to A treet. Ho thinks that with good ,
weather the east side of Twenty-fourth ,

year.

They started sixteen months ago from

having traveled a distance of 4.700 miles.
This I perhaps the most romantic honey

that they came through Lhasa unescorted,

"The Heir to the Hoorah" captivated a
respectably sizeable audience If you know
what that Is at the Boyd last night, and
sent all hands away feeling better than
they have since, well lt'a not necessary to
be painfully accurate as to dates, and the
crowd that left the Boyd last night was
as well plensed as any that ever walked
out of the front door of the theater. Paul
Armstrong may not reap everlasting fame
by reason of his comedy of western ways j
and eastern manners, but he surely will
earn the thanks of all of his fellow Ameri
cans who see it performed by the com
pany now having It In hand. It Is clean,
it is crisp, it doesn't depend on horseplay
for its fun. nd It Is as full of fun as a
Christmas pudding is of plums and Indiges
tion. Its humor Is of that enjoynble kind . Interest made most effective. The engage
that leaves no aftertaste of cynicism, and ment last till after Wednesday, with the
while It depends for Its action on a con
trast of east and west. It Is so deftly
managed that neither section of the coun
try has any occasion to complain, although
the only unpleasant character In the cast
comes from the east, and she has to be
a bit unpleasant or the play would end
right there.
Guy Bates Post has la-en fitted with the
role of the hero, but he doesn't appear
very heroic In the firm act, when he allows
his wife's mother to order him about In

"When We Were Twenty-One" at the
Durnoiid,
Willi one or two exceptions, little more
could be expected from a stock -company
that changes the bill weekly and uses the j
roster of players straight through than Is I
given by the Woodward Block company this
week In tills clever comedy. Two of the
cast score personal triumphs of good-sited
proportions. These are Miss Lang and
Urnnt Simpson. The comedy work of the
former Is as delicate, fresh and pleasing as
one could wlili for. Even to the low-browed
critics she Is a constant delight. Repression,
to which she clings as If by Instinct, does
not prevent vivacity and coloring.
As for Mr. Simpson, he does the best

TREE PLANTING AND CARE

Iotmtieg Fipr.
GIVES RESULTS OF PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
Merits of Fall and Spring riantlng
and of 'Different Methods
Trimming; an Eiperl
View Them.
Following Is a synopsis of a psper res.l
before the Omaha Florist' club November
1 on "The Planting and Trunlng of Trees":
About this question of planting trees
exist a regular tug-of-war. Soma favor
fall and others spring planting. Both par
ties are generally light. There Is generally
tho belief that after the leaves drop and
the ground freetes a few Inches all the life
In trees and shrubs comes to a standstill.
But It Is scientifically proved this Is not .
Trees, even In zero weather, when they are
covered with Ice. keep on growing. This
growth Is not visible, as the part which Is
mostly growing I underground, the roots.
Many people who preach fur spring plant
ing are right to some extent. A trea per
spire sllwinter and if you live In places
whrre the winters are very dry and f re-
ouented bv dry winds. ou are liable to the
loss of sll your trees, but If you have
chance to give thorn a thorough wetting t
think this can le overcome. But shonM
there be a hot drouth these trees would at
most any time be lost. An early fall
planted tree will always withstand a spring
brought better than a spring planted one,
as In most Instances It Is well rooted by
that time. There Is more time for planting
In the fall and the ground I In better work
ing condition. Don't watt until the last
leaves fall, but start as soon a the leaves
discolor, even If you have to strip some of
them. By planting early In the fall you
gain time and the trees make better growth
the first year. For myself I would do all
my planting in the fall.
Mannre to Re Freely t sed.
I have observed that many people In
planting don't use any manure, or very
little, many of ther.i saying they are going
to use liquid manure In the summer. That
Is all right If that Is done, but the cheapest
way Is to use a good deal of manure while
planting. Dig the holes large enough nnd
put manure in the bottom mixed up with
soil and put more soil on top, so that the
root of the tree don't come in contact with
the manure, but It ought to be In easv
reaoh of them, so when they form new
fibrous roots the manure soon can be
reached by them. In our short-lived agp we
want quick results and I don't se nny
other way to get thein. After you g1v-
? . " ,u , , .
n the fall keccs the frost longer out of the
. ,
grounu ana gives 1 ue roois or me nfwiy
plsn'.ed tree a longer growing season. And
In summer It keeps the moisture In the
ground. In spring mulching keeps the
ground longer from being thawed up, . so
the tree don't get on an early start.
Qneatlon of Trimming-.
Trimming or not trimming tree while
planting Is a greatly argued question. The
old teaching was that wherever you trim
the roots, that Is, cutting them while tak
ing the tree up, you ought not to touch
tho top. Even experts are of different opin
ion; some favor the trimming and others
like to see the trimming done one year after
planting. H Is hard to tell who la right.
1 0n trM ,n tB winter habits we don't see
I anything but twigs of different elie. and
I th. argument I whether to cut any of them
j or ,. f you take, for Instance, a small
branch and Inspect the buds on It you will
find that the upper buds nt the end of the
twigs are larger than the lower one and
fully developed and In trimming you would
cut them off. These upper buds are the
first ones to leaf out and start their work
ing duty In the plant's life. Th lower
buds are a good deal slower In opening up.
Througli the leaves the plant breathe und
perspires. For Instance, If you plant a
young tree with long young shoots and
don't put them buck for a year, as said be
fore, the upper buds will break out, while
the lower ones will stay dormant and dur
ing the ear will be thrown off the plant
as useless. Now, a year after, planting,
when you start cutting them back to give
your tree some ihupe, you will find that
many buds are thrown off and you can't
get a well branched head as if you had
trammed them whilo planting. Even if
your trees don't bud out right away there Is
no danger. There are many reserve uh-
i stances heaped up In the tree which are
taken In use to build up new parts and the
tree I not a much In danger of drying up
through heavy evaporation. The better
and the more root a tree has the less
trimming It needs. If roots are few trim
top strong. ,
I have seen people li the' southwest go to
the forest and dig up elm trees, which ate
considered hard growing trees. They would
cut the tops off entirely and Just plant
th stem alone. A row of these trees
looked after planting' like a. row of posts. I
never believed that any of them would live.
. but I hardly saw any losses there. Cer-
'a'"' very tree will pot stand for hard
trimming and I would not advise any severe
cutting back like that mentioned, but Just
cut enough back to balance the top with the
loss of roots.

California's attraction art nioHtly of
Its own kind, peculiar to tbe state, and
of none Is tnls bo emphatically true as
that unique product, tbe Big Trees.
The age of these colossi is from 1,500
to 2,000 years. The Mariposa Grove,
which can be visited while enronts to
the YosemlU", contains some of tbe
largest. In the Calaveras Grove are-,
from ninety to one hundred of huge
size. Near Santa Crui is a beautiful
rrove of redwood Dig Trees, which
will well eraploy a day's vUlt. These
can be reached by the Inlon Pacific,
