RESULT OF YEAR'S WORK
Report of Mrs. Kcnntlly, Secretary of
-Manager's Home for Friendless.
NUMBER INMATES CAKED FpK
The Children Received nt the Home In
dentured to Families Four Deaths
During the Year Donations That
Were Mode to tho Institution.
Following Is the report of Mrs. W. D.
Kennedy, secretary of the' board of
managers of the Home for the Friend
less, for the year Just closed:
Again, ut the beginning of a New
Year we come before ithe friends of the
Home to review the work of the past
twelve months.
In many respects It has been a hard
year, for both rich and poor. The p ro
uts of capital have been meagre utul
hundreds of willing hunds have gone
unemployed. It Is with gratttul hearts
that we can report today that our work
has been well sustained.
Since the beginning of the "hard
times," churlty has been bo systeinu
tl.ed that few of the really deserving
poor have been In positive need. Or
ganization has tended to weed out the
undeserving and benefit those In dis
tress, and best of all It has kopt many
families from being separated.
During the past year there have been
admitted to the home 33 boys, 31 girls
and 6 women, which does not exceed
the usual number received. Many of
tlnse came through the application of
friends or acquaintances, others were
sent by the poor board or chief of po
lice, and quite a number through the
Associated Charities. They have ranged
In uge from a feeble old lady of 85 years
to a baby a few weeks old.
Eleven of the infants were under
seven weeks old, and twelve others be
tween thait uge and three years.
Of the children admitted to the home
In 18U4, eight have been Indentured to
us; ten Indentured by the home to fam
ilies, and one Bent to the Girl's Refuge
In Philadelphia. Many visits were paid
the homes of these and other Inden
tured children by the homo visitors.
One month eleven vlBlts were reported.
Many of the reports were inoHt Inter
esting and nearly all were encourag
ing. Wayne county has a large number of
our indentured children, some of tnein
L"iown to manhood and womanhood.
A Typical Case.
A lady came before the executive
boara one Thursday morning, desiring
to take a child. She had years ago
taken a little girl from the home, who
had grown Into a lovely young woman
of l'J, and now she wished to take an
other. At the time we had none of
the age desired.
in. September court granted adoption
papers for a little girl Indentured by us
to a family ten years apro. The health of
tin' home family during the year has
been unusually good. There have been
a few cases of measles and whooping
cough, but none of the more malignant,
coiitucrlous diseases.
1 our deaths have occurred. The first
February 24, was the little 4-year-old
boy sent us by the agent of the Assocl
ated Charities. The poor child had been
most Inhumanly treated by some per
son unknown, deep burns being on vari
ous parts of hlB body. The second
death occurred In July. An Infant girl
4 months old. The third in September,
Infant girl 7 week3 old. The last one,
Mrs. Cynthia Taylor, aged 86, died Jan,
7. 1S95. admitted last September.
The committee of religious services
have unostentatiously done a most
praiseworthy work. The services have
been much appreciated by the old la
dles, and there Is little doubt that the
clergymen, who so kindly responded to
the calls of the committee, have been
well repaid for their time and trouble.
The closing service of the year, will
not soon be forgotten by those present
The finance committee ngain deserve
credit for a very successful excursion
to Lllnghamton. The net receipts were
$6Sri.25.
The fuel committee, as usual, have
kept the bin well stocked with coal, the
companies having responded liberally
to their solicitations.
The committee on grounds not only
kept the lawn so It was a perpetual tes
timony to their efficiency, but furnished
many vegetables from the garden,
which were much enjoyed by the fam
lly.
Desserts were, as heretofore, furn
Ished for the Sunday dinner, a little la
nor of love much valued. The board
appreciates the arduous, faithful ser
vices of the chief manager and matron
Oreat credit should be given them for
the harmonious, pleasant atmosphere
that has prevailed at the homo during
the year. It has been like one great
family.
The cash receipts donation day were
$553.15 somewhat less than for several
vears past. However, the home man
tigers have no reason to complain.
There were large donations, besides the
cash contributions. The merchants and
business men were very liberal. There
were fifteen barrels of flour and two of
sugar and large quantities ot general
supplies.
Generosity of Scholars.
The scholars from various schools by
small gifts from each child, seut ten
bushels of potatoes, two .barrels of
apples, one bushel or sweet potatoes
one hundred heads of cnbbage and con
siderable canned fruit. The Alpine
Knitting mills again sent a large num
ber of.vests for the old ladles.
From Hamilton the "Busy Bees," a
band of eleven little girls, the oldest
13, the youngest G years of age, sent a
quilt and a barrel of apples, with a
lovely letter from tne secretary, a in
tie girl whose two younger brothers are
still In the home.
At the last board meeting the treas
urer acknowledged the receipt of fifty
10-cent pieces from two little rflsters at
Clark's Summit, to be used In tho erec
tlon of the new home building. The
hearts of the children seemed to be es-
neclallv drawn toward' the homo work
the past yt'ar. It Is a good omen for
the future.
At Thanksgiving, as usual, the home
was generously remembered. The
churches did not forget their usual of
ferings.
The, children of No. 3ii school sent a
generous donation. One teacher In
sending wrote: "The children are
learning to give some of their gifts from
the Giver of all blessings.
The home children attend No. 33
school. The" teacher asked for a Thanks
giving offering not for any Institution
but for poor families, our children
came home, eager to carry back some
gift. The matron tolu them she could
not give them anything, as the home
supplies were not ners to give away,
The little faces lengthened then a hur
ried consultation. On the table were
nice red apples for desert. If they
saved these, couldn't they carry them
to school to give awny? Of course the
matron consented. By each plate an
apple lay untouched, nnd after dinner
twenty happy little children marched
away to school, and gave to the poor
their twenty red apples.
The kindergarten In the home, under
the Instruction of Miss Lillian Morris,
has been a new feature the past year,
and has well repaid the cost. The
children are very fond of their teacher
and have Improved wonaerruny.
The home family never neglects to
observe the various holidays. Easter
brought them many girts. The Fourth
of July they had dinner and tea on the
lawn and a pleasant entertainment in
the evening. Even Hallowe'en was not
allowed to pass without a fitting ob
sat-van ee. The old ladles came down
stairs and seemed to heartily enjoy the
boisterous merriment or the little ones,
Christmas was so full of gladness, the
rifts were so generous, tne Globe wnre
house dinner so bountiful, the children
so exuberant over their Kinds of gifts.
the old ladies so weighted down with
happiness and the generous offerings of
their friends aprons, handkerchiefs,
stockings, bed'room slippers, even the
one dollar bill uguln remembered, that
an hour would be needed to tell It nil,
so It must be passed by with onlv an
allusion.
Kcmcinbcrcd by Mrs. Heed.
During the past year Mrs. Slvelv
Iteed, one of our life members, has been
called from earth. She was one of the
first officers of the society and a life
long friend. By her will, she evinced
her fidelity to Its Interests by bequeath
ing $1,000 to the organization.
lho home has also lost. In the death
of Mr. V. W. Winton, one of its liberal
supporters. Our sympathies go out
toward his allilcted widow, our faithful
senior manuger. One name has been
added to the roll of life members, Mrs.
William H. Storrs.
A very welcome contribution of $430.51
came to us through John H. Smith, of
Duninore, treasurer of the fund for the
Johnstown sufferers. St. Luke's Guild
greatly added to the health und happi
ness of two of our old ladies by giving
them a change of air and scene at their
summer home, Dalton.
Physicians have given careful atten
tion to our sick. Ministers have ren
dered cheerful and willing service.
Quilts have been sent from various
Bi.urces, one labelled, "For the bed of
the oldest old lady." Collections have
even been forwurded from summer re
sorts. Tickets have been given for
matinees. The press of the city have
been uniformly kind, courteous und lib
eral.
Wo hope the coming year that thu un
solicited gil ts for current expenses will
be greater than ever before, as we ex
pect to do away with the system of
house to house solicitation, except for
the annual memberships. The city has
outgrown the old time plan. It is Im
possible to cover the entire field. It is,
and long has been, an extremly hard
and, in some Instances, a disagreeable
task to perform. We trust the friends
of the 'home will take kindly to the
new method, nnd that the treasury will
no suffer from the change. It Is prob
able that regular annual subscriptions
will be solicited.
And now, before closing, we must lay
before you the details of the largest
financial undertaking we, as an organ
ization, have ever attempted. For the
first time In many years we come before
you with a nearly empty treasury. For
a long time we have needed more room.
The managers considered' the matter
very carefully. The building commit
tee, with its able chairman, deliberated
long and earnestly. Our advisory board
met with us many times and gave the
matter thoughtful attention. It was
deemed advisable to erect a new home
building on our lots at Green Ridge.
Architects were invited to submit plans.
Several very kindly responded. Those
of Dnvis & Houpt were accepted as
most nearly meeting our requirements.
Work on the New linilding.
In September the contract was
awarded the Peck Lumber Manufactur
ing company for the foundation, less
the left wing, for the sum of $6,613, the
architects (now changed to Davis &
Von Storch) to superintend the work.
The- foundation Is completed. We have
paid, as you noted by the treasurer's
report, $1,000 to the architects and $3,800
to the contractors. Very soon our last
payment of about $2,000 must be made.
The building fund accrued by bequests
from Mr. J. J. Albright, Mrs. II. S.
Pierce and Mrs. Thomas Moore, has
been exhausted.
We desire to let the contract In the
spring for the superstructure, less the
li ft wing. It will cost about $40,000.
We hope, in time, to dispose of our
Adams avenue property, but this will
not be sufficient for our needs. It re
mains for the friends of the home to
say whether we shall continue In our
undertaking. The home has always had
the generous support of the public. We
have faith to believe that when a per
sonal appeal Is made to the friends of
the home, the response will be most
liberal, and that the universal verdict
Will be, "Let tho good work go on."
MRS. W. D. KENNEDY, Secretary.
MIXOOKA'slsEXT WISH.
If It Cannot He a Portion of the City of
Seranton the Citizens Will Ask the Court
to F.rcct It Into a Borough.
Seranton did not want Mlnooka and
now the ambitious denizens of that
hamlet are agitating the subject of
forming Into a borough. First, how
ever. It Is their Intention to make a re
newed effort for annexation, and If a
second defeat crosses their path, then
an engineer will be engaged to draught
an outline of a borough and a petition
will be circulated which, If It Is gener
ally signed, will be presented to the
court.
The citizens of Mlnooka had hoped
that the city councils would fuvorably
consider their petition, and since their
application for annexation was rejected
they have determined to pull away
from the present condition of things.
Under the laws regulating townships
In this state It Is Impossible for a pro
gressive community to plunge forward,
although there Is enough of taxes
levied to support a set of officers that
would be Invested with the powers to
order and enforce public Improve
ments. Martin McDonough, one of the
leading citizen of Mlnooka, stated to a
Tribune reporter that local politics Is
now busyltiR the people and they have
for the time being forgotten this mat
ter In the bustle and turmoil of the
oilier, but as soon as the February elec
tion passes, the agitation will be taken
up where It hus been left off for the
present.

Seranton lans did not properly ap
preciate the efforts of the gentlemen
who promoted ithe lndlgnathm meeting
on Saturday night If the attendance at
101 m Park church on that occasion
formed any criterion. Rev. Dr. Grif
fin, of Blnghamton, opened 'the meeting
by prayer, and Mayor Connell, chair
man, was then Introduced by Rev. W.
H. Pearee in appropriate terms.
Itev. James McLeod, who has acted
as Sit-retaiiy of the committee, ex
plained the tmjeet of the meeting and
He v. D. C. Hughes read a report of the
work done by the committee and sub
mitted the following resolution:
Resolved, 'l'hut we as citizens of Seran
ton, Pennsylvania, representing the Chris
thin seiitlnu-nt of our city and thousands
of our fellow citizens of the outlying dis
tricts, appeal to the president of the
United States us well as the branches of
congress that measures be Immediately
adopted to prevent any further Infringe
ment of the rights, of our fellow Chris
tians wherever found under the flag of
Turkey; and that speedy redress be ile
mundeil for' the unspeakable wrongs ul
reudy perpetrated. Pertinent are the
words of our own Lowell In this connec
tion: "He's true to God who Is true to man,
Wherever wrong is done
'Neath the beholding sun;
That wrong Is ulso done to us
And they ure slaves most base,
Whose love of right is for themselves
And not for ull their race."
Remarks by Mayor Connell.
Mayor Connell Ithen addressed the
meat'ing nnd remarked that the Ar
menian atrocities were unparalleled In
the ihlstory of the human ra.es and
caused strong men to shudder and wo
men to turn to them for protection. The
people of Armenia were not persecuted
because they were not a law-abiding
people, but because they claimed the
eanie privileges t'hait were already In
our possession, liberty of conscience,
liberty to worship God in the manner
tihey choose. He trusted that the peo
ple of Scraniton would be aroused by
the meeting and that It would awaken
the government to a sense of Its duty
under the circumstances.
Judge Hand maide an admirable ad
dress in whloh 'he said that this coun
try could not understand -how In tho
nineteenth century any ruler coultl be
so arbitrary to attempt to weaken his
own power or government by destroy
ing a portion of those committed to his
care. It was Impossible for a true
American to hear of cruelties without
hiis sympathies being aroused and that
spirit of sympathy was responsible for
the meeting land for the feellngof horror
which swept over the land when the
Armenian atrocities were first reported.
Judge Hand then spoke of the right of
the American government to (Interfere
In such circumstances, and hoped that
from such meetings there would pro
ceed an influence, not of revenge, but
i of righteous Indignation, to warn the
Turk, so that atrocities of that
kind would be unheard of. A bill was
before congress giving this country con
sular representation! in the region they
were discussing and he trusted that the
influence of the meeting would prevail
on senators and congressmen In passing
the bill.
F.xpcricncc of F.. B. Sturgcs.
E. H. Sturges related his experience
on Turkish soil and urged that ttie Sul
tan, probably, was not aware of the
atrocities, lie supported the sugges
tlon that this country should send a
delegation to 'Investigate the atrocities
aind that they should be accompanied
with a file of soldieirs for protection.
ltev. P. J. McManus, in an eloquent
speech, supported the objects of the
meeting. He hold that 'by tho right of
Christianity and the brotherhood of
men we were Justified in attacking the
Internal policy nf another nation. An
example should bo made of the Turk,
09 we had shown tiy previous wars,
that It was the policy of this country
to protect man; ithe protection of men
was tho question now at Issue, and
Wherever an American could be found
tihe government should be there to pro
tect him.
City Solicitor James II. Torrey em
phasized the' potnt that when England
and America neglected to prevent fur
ther atrocities they became In a meas
ure responsible for the atrocities. A
display of power would thoroughly
overawe the Turk.
Rev. James MoLeod rend letters of
sympathy with the objects -of the meet
ing from William Connell, W. W. Wat
son and Rev. Rogers Israel after which
hexmiiide a 'powerful speech condemning
the atrocities. The following amend
ment, offered by K. R Sturges, was in
corporated in Ithe resolution:
Resolved, That the united govern
ment be urged to insist upon the privi
lege of making an Independent or un
hampered investigation of the alleged
atrocities.
