Acts of charity In -which the late Henry

'Miss Kate B. Heller, of 1535 West Norrla
treat, with the $100,000 which she Inherited
from his $1,000,000 estate.
Miss Heller left for Atlantic City today
tor a rest and to avoid cranks who have
been besieging her homo ever Blnco It be
eamo known that she had been hamed as
an heir. Mr. Sledenbach died suddenly In
fela ofllce In the Orexel Building April 22.
Miss Heller was fit her homo Bpeaklng
With relatives when tho news reached her
that she was $100,000 richer. She had no
Mea that Bho would bo made an heir of
Mr. Sledenbach, whom she had known for
many years. The news of her Inheritance
spread through tho northwest section and
Boon many persons formerly unknown to
her began to call on tho telephone to ad
vise her how she could double her money
Jn different Investments.
itELA-rrvEs stmpnisED.
In the will of! Mr. Sledenbach, which was
ijstered for probate -yesterday, tho testator
peaks of Miss Heller as "My friend Kate
3. Hellor." Tho document didn't reveal any
reason or long written explanation as to
why Miss Heller was a beneficiary. Tho
news that Miss Hellor had been mentioned
as an heir also came as a great surprise to
tho relatives of tho dead man, most of
whom resldo not far from Mrs. Hcllen's
home.
Mr. Blcdonbttch was a bachelor and made
Ills homo at tho St James. Ho was Inter
ested In real estato speculations and was a
large stockholder In tho Union Traction
Company. Ho was known to many social
agencies, and it is said that one of his
greatest pleasures was to visit tho sick and
Secble In Institutions which nro managed
by tho Federation of Jewish Charities, to
which he left $20,000. Often ho would ap
pear at tho Jowlsh Hospital on Sundays
and holidays with toys and other things
and make his way to wards whero sick
children wore confined. Somo of tho young
sters in the children's ward at this hospital
Would long for his visits. When ho ar
rived they would address him as "Undo
Henry."
Miss Heller today at first refused to dis
cuss her Inheritance Sho said that it was
a matter which dlun t concern the public.
She and hor family are quiet people and
they dread notoriety.
"Tho public Isn't interested In mo and I
don't sco why my name Bhould appear in
tho newspapers, because I am nobody of
prominence," said Miss Heller.
"This sudden publicity Is Just dreadful,
and I would be very thankful If the papers
would forget all about me, so the less said
the better. My relatives and myself simply
dread publicity."
"Have you made up your mind as to what
you Intend to do with the money you havo
inherited t"
TO CONTINUE HIS WORK,
'a haven't given the matter much
thought; but I do 'think that I shall use it
In prompting some of tho charitable worka
In which Mr. .Sledenbach was Interested.
Mr. Sledenbach was a noble man and loved
by an element which ho helped with money.
j. ma vimntun represented inoso who are
alck and crippled and havo to suffer for the
rest of their lives."
"If Mr. Sledenbach wore allvo today his
one Joy would be that suffering humanity
pe aided. Ho found more happiness In help
ing the poor or Bome crippled invalid who Is
confined in a hospital than in attending a
baseball game or any other recreation. I
nave no desire to gain a fortune with the
$100,000 which Mr. Seldenbach left mo. I
don't believe that I could do anything nobler
to his memory than continue somo of tho
charitable nets In which Mr. Seldenbach
was Interested, with the money that has
suddenly enriched me."
Mr. Sledenbach's bequests to his relatives
were as follows: $100,000 to his brother,
XrfJUls Sledenbach; gifts of $10,000 each to
S!?..Jr??,,P,ora M Goldsmith: his niece.
Edith M. Lyons, and his nephew, Leonard

Police Court Chronicles
Joe Skabootch hates animals.
If a horse cornea loo near him when he
Is crossing the street, Joe passes to punch
It Should a dog accidentally brush against
him, he always kicks It Into the street. He
has no sympathy for cats in the least, and
Will go out of his way to cause them misery.
Skabootch calls It a slow day when 'he
hasn't Whipped three or four animals. While
Joe Is considered brutal by some, others de
clare that he deserves a vote of thanks
ror ridding Haddington of many objection
nblo animals. It was Joe, they say, who
started a crusade against goats n, long time
ago. Now there Isn't a goat In West Phila
delphia, with the exception of two or three
which are kept as children's pots.
Skabootch was out looking for trouble,
when a rabbit darted across his path near
80th street and Girard avenue. Tho bunny

As row after row of mon, somo plain,
everyday citizens, others famed In their
lines of endeavor, marched past ono of tho
buildings In tho doorway of which was a
Bmlllng, white-haired woman with an ex
pression of contentment on her face, they
turned and smiled and lifted their hats.
They wcro moro than pleased with tho
whole affair It was tho annual celebration
of "Founder's Day" nt dlrard College, and
they came from many States to show their
appreciation of tho place that had given
them a start, and n mighty good ono nt
that, on the road to success. But tho smile
that was exchanged between tho woman
and the men was Inspired by moro than tho
atmosphere of kindred spirit; It was sym
pathetic, oftttmes yearning. Yearning be-
causo of tho fact that tho irrav-lmlretl
woman was tho only mother many of them
over knew. It was sho to whom they told
their troubles; It was on hor motherly
bosom that they sobbed what wa3 to them a
catastrophe that would ruin their life.
That's why tho woman smiled contented
ly. Her "boys" had come back to show her
appreciation. To some sho may havo ad
ministered a motherly punishment, even to
Harry Davis, George Tempest and "Jlmmlo"
Lennon. Sho says sho doesn't bcllevo In
that kind of discipline, docs Miss Anna M.
Shreve, but In her long term as matron

sedata President of Select Council, cr .
Some 7000 or moro boys havo passed under
the guiding hands of tho motherly matron.
Her hair has turned gray serving her
"boys" (33 years will bring many changes).
But her affection for every last one of tho
1G50 boys In the Institution Is Just as firm
and strong today as it was when she started
as "mother" to GEO boys almost four
decades ago.
They called her "mother" then. Nor has
the scytho of Father TImo been able to
change this form of salutation. She served
tho Bhavcrs with those big, brown cookies
for 36 yoars and only stopped doing so
when the college, with tho rising wavo of
radicalism, turned tho duties over to a
dietitian. To bo sure, this carries llttlo ap
peal to the imagination. A boy's Idea of
a dietitian Is an austero, whlto-clothed per
son. Now, who wouldn't rather have a

Shreve, Juat like your own mother would
give you, than from tho strictly antiseptic
hands of a dietitian, who eternally regarded
MULES AND DOGS VOTED
West Virginia County Seeks to Purge
Election List
CHARLESTON, W. Va., May 20. Dem
ocratic voters In Mingo County have filed
a petition in tho Supremo Court asking that
tho ballot commissioners bo required to re
move from the registration lists the names
of fraudulent entries and there's a reason.
It Isn't that wlelders of the franchise In
Mingo County are too particular as to who
shall vote, but they' draw the line at mules
and dogs, and they are determined to clear
Mingo County of Its equine and canine
"citizens."
The petition to the Supreme Court de
clares that not only mules and dogs of
Mingo County are on the voting lists, but
fictitious and dead persons also are given
the right to cast their ballots. Mingo County
might submit to the rest of them, but It
draws the line at mules.
CLASS COLORS ON HOSIERY
OF SALEM HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
Strike Follows Order to Go Homo and
Change
SALEM; N. X, May 28. When the girls
gr the nigh school appeared with their
painty ankles clad In silken hosiery of
(opposing hues, the class colors were
recognized, and Supervising Principal Davis
urucrcu mm xiome to enange. They declined
to make the change, and promptly 05 per
cent, of the students went out on strike, and
the rebellion Is still on.
The rebellion started over an order of
the Board of Education forbidding the dis
play of the class colors during school hours,
because so many dresses were mussed and
rnalo heads made sore last year over the
fclaas rivalry. The graduating class re
cently made a sightseeing trip to Washing
ton and there Imbibed, It seems, airs of
independence. When they got back they
displayed their colors with a freedom that
aroused the spirit of rebellion among the
pther classes.
Accordingly, they loomed up In school
yesterday with an air of defiance and
decked out with their colors. Many of the
girls wore costumes conspicuously display
ing the Interdicted hues, but the climax was
reached when the principal himself, though
be tried to look otherwise, was forced to
sidmlt that many girls wore one stocking
e one color and one of another.
The parents of the little rebels are di
vided upon the question of what Is best to
do with the situation. Jt was said, unof
ficially, this evening, that some of them
Were "handled" at home.
