THK CHILDREN'H HOJIIS,
What Han Been Done and Wliat
IH Proponed to toe none.
Kditora Citinen : At n mtvtiiiK of the
committee uppointed by tlie county com
missiiiners to curry out the jilnns for the
proponed home for destitute children of
Huncoinlie county, held on Friday night,
I wiiB uppointed to the duty of setting
iK'fore tiie pulilic tlicsc plans ns far aa
they have progressed.
It is known to many of your readers
that there are numbers of children in the
county, either orphans or abandoned by
their narcnts who have to lie cared for n't
public expense. No suitable home for
these unfortunnte little creatures being
provided, and no training given them in
moral and industrial habits and pursuits,
they inevitably grow 1111 to join the ranks
01 tnc paupers, criminals ano prostitutes.
That such a state of things Inid been
allowed to grow in our prosperous and
thrivim: countv without any effort to
amend matters should makeevery Chris
tian man and woman haug Ins head 111
shame, and crv tnrn eii'ui.
In conversation between the chairman
of the county commissioners just jiefore
the meeting ol the commissioners in !'
cemlx'r, the subject was broached audit
wits decided that I should go before the
commissioners, und discuss with them
the possibility of establishing a home
where tnese cniidrcn couiu ue enrea lor,
and as far ns possible, brought up
healthy, rcsieeti(ble, self-supporting citi
zens. Mr. J. P. Sawyer readily agreed to go
wilh nic. We were received by the com
mittees with the greatest kindness and
courtesy, and thev apiirnred grateful for
ourctlbrts of help. They appointed a
committee of ladies and gentlemen to
take the matter into consideration nnd
brinir liel'ore them nt their meeting in
January, a practical plan for carrying
it out.
Notwithstanding the manv cares nnd
pleasures of the holiday season, the com
inlttw.' seems to work with H determina
tion to do their very best.
The first result of their deliberations
wna In find themselves blocked off in
every direction by legal obstructions.
The'ipiestion resolved itself into this:
should the scheme lie abandoned until
niter the nifitum ol the magistrates next
summer, and the legislature next winter,
and after endeavoring to get the neces
sary Icirnl nower. to try to induce the
commissioners to take up the matter
again, nnd exirnd n large sum ol money
in testing the exieriment? or should we.
without loss of time, go to work in a
small, economical nnd tcmptirnry way,
trusting lo the supxirt and assistance ol
our ciltfteiis, and then, Willi practical
results to show, and having proved our
sinceritv ol purpose, obtain trom the
authorities an extensiou of our powers
and means?
We unhesitatingly decided uun the
latter course.
Our next steu was to send a statement
ofourdilficulliestothe bonrd of mann
ngersof Mission llospitul and ask per
mission to erect upon the Hospital
grounds n building to be used tempora
rily for "The Children's Home."
Alter some nine oeiny, ir conamcrii
lion, this was acceded to. and I am very
confident that the cordial sympathy and
hearty offers 01 assistance mnde by t lie
lMinrd of mnnnurrt end the medicnl
stuff ol'the Hospital to a sister charity
in ita treble infancy will redound to the
credit nnd advantage of the Hospital.
At the meeting of the commissioners
in Jununry we luid our report before
them which was immediately accepted
and the sums asked for the building and
furnishing at ouce appropriated.
It now remains for us to prove that
the confidence of the commissioners is
not misplaced, und that we can and will
with Ood's blessing do this thing. Hut
to do it successfully and promptly, we
must have the sympathy and support of
our fellow citizena.
We thrrelore nroDose to cull a public
meeting to be held in the lecture hall of
the Y. M. C. A., kindly loaned us for the
purMisc, on Tuesday, Jnnuury 21st, nt
7.3H p. m., wheu we will explain in de
tuil our plans nnd ideus and nsk advice
noil nsaiKinnce from our friends. We
enrnvsliy la nil the good people of
Aslievillc nml viciuity to come 10 una
meeting and testify by their presence
their interest in the work.

vlllc Library Aaaoclallon.
A collection of books Is a real university ."
Carlyle
With the beginning of the new yenr
and large addition of late publications,
the Ashcville Library Association, now
in its thirteenth year, enters, it is lie-
lieved, oil an enlarged career 01 useiui
ness. The more than 2,000 valuable
books comprising this library, have now
been safelv removed from the rooms on
Main street, to a new and more spacious
home ut No. 20 I'atton avenue, second
floor. The privileges of the library arc
shared bv the members of the oung
Men's Christian Association.
The liook-reading public of Asheville,
and indeed nil persons who bold any
faith in the fur renching power ol good
books, nre cordially invited to examine
for themselves the advantages of mem
bership, lie it long or short, in this pros-
fu-riim association, mere nun urea n
uniform expression of gratified surprise
nt the admiraii e ntness ol tne room now
containing the library, at the solid com
fort placed at the disposition 01 readers,
nnd at the very lam number of periodi
cals, now for the first time, displayed on
the tallies and news rucks.
The moderate terms of membership re.
mnin unchanged, vis.!
One year 2.00; six months $1.50;
three months $1.00; one month f0 cents;
daily 3 cents. Open daily except sun
day.
A specially comfortable arrangement is
made for ladies who may wish to read
at the rooms.
It iahelieaed that there are Terr few
among the ladies, and the business and
professional men of this city among its
clerks and mechanics who would not
consider themselves und their lutnilics
well repaid by a brief lnsjction ol the
premises, and a look at the peculiar ad
vantages which the society has to oiler.
Among these advantages, are what may
be designated as high class, self-schooling
for a trifling monthly or annual fee; com
fortnble contact with the great outer
world of literature ; instruction from a
great variety of historical books and pe
riodicals; and no end of entertainment
from the shelves of fiction and illustra
ted mngnxincs nnd papers. The privil
ege of access to this large array of icri
odicnls alone, is well worth the small
tax which constitutes a membership.
"He that lovetn a book" says Isaac
Harrow, "will never want a fnithful
frieud, a wholesome counsellor, Cheerful
companion, an effectual comforter."
THE WORLD'S FAIR.

MITTKE DOWN TO WORK.
Nearly One Hundred Prominent
New Vorkers Hear Her Claims
Presented toy Chauneey H, De-
pew The Attendance.
Washington, January II. The an
nouncement that New York, through her
distinguished representative, would pre
sent her claims to-day foi the location of
the proposed World's fair before the
senate's special committee on qtindra
cententiinl was sufficient to attract a
crowd to the capitol that 8ieedily ex
hausted the accommodations of the sen
ate reception room, where the hearing
wus held, There was such pressure for
admittance that tne committee contem
plated repairing to the senate chamber,
but found that a rule of the body forbade
the use of the chamber for uuv other pur
pose except its own sessions, except by
special act of the senate.
The members of the committee were
somewhat tardy in arriving. Chairman
Hiscock and Senator Fai tlVil were t b.
first arrivals and were followed by Sena
tors Vest, Loliputt, Hnuicy, aherinnu,
htaulord, Cameron, Knnsom und nil
son, of Iowa.
Shortly after 1 1 o'clock the New York
delegation, nearly 100 strong, entered
the room, headed by Mayor tirant, ex
Secretary Whitney and other distill
guished officials and citizens. The np-
penrance ol Chauneey M. Ucpew was the
signnl for a slight outburst of applause.
licsides those named, the New York dele
gation included ex-Heiiator Warner Mil

Among others present nt the hearing

.Hid rcpriscutativcs. including senator
hvurts, of .New York, and representative
llitr, chairman of the house committee
on foreign affairs, which has assumed
jurisdiction of the subject of the World's
ran 111 that body.
Itwiis1o.;i0 when chairman Hiscock
formally Ix'gan proceedings, by announc
ing a clinuge in the program as original
ly made for tn-dav. At 1 !.. he said
the committee would take a recess for nn
hour nud-n-lwill. in order to permit its
memlwrs to attend the limeral service ol
Jude Kelley in the hall ol the house of
representatives.
Mr. Depew was the first speaker. He
legnn to sneak in a husky tone of voice.
hut it soon began to clear up. He wus
listened to throughout with the closest
attention, und treiticutly interrupted by
npplnuse from his loyal und admiring
New York supporters.
Dcicw siMike eloquently of the desira
bility of New Y'ork ns the location for
the fair ; of the nicugcrncss of the exhibit
ol the I'nited States nt I'aris, nnd of the
necessity of holding a fair at which she
might show to tne world her greatness.
His arguments for New York were bused
on its geographical location, on her fa
cilities lor the accommodation and trans
portation of the guests, and oil the
fact of its being the metropolis. With
regard to the choice of Americans, he
said: "If every American family were
given the choice of one city to visit, they
would iustuntly choose New Y'ork. '
Deuew was followed bv llurke and
Cochran, who spoke until the recess.

closing he referred to -the siccch of Dc-
iew, saying he never 0ened 111s mouth

spirit, and that spirit invites the loca
tion of the Fnir. The financial and
physical features of Chicago were pre
sented by Mr. E. T. Jeffrey. The conclu
sion of Mr. Jeffrey s speech ended the
open discussion.
Senator UiscocK stated tuat alter tne

hope that the report on the World's

carried on a stretcher to the house of a

a Irir broken n crushed skull, and one eye

yesterday morning. I'p to ten o'clock
yesterday when l)r, Hrnnk was inter

alive; but the probabilities were that he
could not survive Ins iniurics.
It seems that Henderson is a tough
character and bad Iwen arrested at one
time In Hot Sorinui for creating a rb

train and had been milking a row, and
h.nritur arrest when he should reach Hot

fore the hour of noon the galleries of the
house were filled with spectators anx
ious to do honor to the memory of the
man who find torso many years been a
member of thut body.
A few moments before the house was
called to order, the mcmliers of the sal
ute, without formal announcement, en
tered the chanilicr and quietly took
scats in the body of the hnll. A sable
covered bier stood in front of the clerk's
desk and handsome floral tributes were
placed near by. At 12.10 the officiating
clergymen, Prs. Butler and Cuthbert, en
tered the hall reading the beginning ol
the burial service. They were followed
by the committees from the senate and
house having charge of the ceremonies,
and then amid the solemn hush, the mag
nificent casket containing the remains of
Wm. D. Kelley was placed on the bier.
The family of the deceased were then
escorted to seats provided for them
close to the casket. The burial service
was' read by Dr. Butler and pruyer was
offered bv Dr. Cuthbert. the former
then read the Fifteenth chapter ol the
First Enistlc to the Corinthians nnd fol
lowed his reading by n prayer. The
benediction was delivered by Dr. Cuth
bert and then, slowly and sadly the com
mittees escorted the remains of the Hon.
Win. I). Kelley from tin chanilicr which
hud known him so long mid so well.

Messrs. Sanders nnd Powers, who were

MISCELLANEOUS.
J. S. GRANT, Ph. G.,
Of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy,
Apothecary, 34 South Main St.
The Old Year has drawn to a close,
and with the beginning of the New Year
we wish to thank the public for their
patronage and recognition of our efforts
to do our full duty. We are fully con
scious that it is to them that we owe the
unexKcted success of the past year, in
which our business baa been more than
doubled, and we can only regard it as a
new evidence that our business maxims
ate such as to cause our customers to
have confidence m us and attract those
who are cautious in dealing with any
Phurmnvist until they have become fully
assured of the nature and extent of his
business principles. In out dealing with
the public M'e realize that the most scru
pulous cure and honesty are paramount
in importance. If these are virtues in
all ordinury business transactions, they
become sacred duties in Pharmacy, and
without them no one can be a true Phar
macist. The health, maybe the lite, 01
those dealing with the Apothecary de
pends upon them. We consider it our
must sacred duty to shun adulterations
and spoiled as well as inferior drugs.
They constitute an evil from which Phar
macy suffers no less than the public. The
evil is not a new one, inaugurated in late
years; it has existed as long as there
were men whose cupidity was stronger
than their sense of justice, and it will
doubtless continue as long as there may
be men with conceptions of business so
vague that they expect to purchase gold
for the money value of dross. There are
no other moral principles required for
transacting a Pharmaceutical business
than are necessary for any other business.
Unwavering integrity that remains unin
fluenced by the visions of gold along the
road of questionable or deceitful prac
tices is the only foundation for success
that is worthy the name; it is so in
every pursuit, and more particularly in
Pharmacy, where as a matter of neces
sity it must be combined with constant
vigilance in all directions, so as to secure
all possible saHguards.
These are the principles which we ba-e
endeavored to live up to, and to which
we trust our increasing success is due.
We hope our former pattons will show
the same kindness towatd us in the fu
ture that they have in the past, knowing
that no action ol ours will ever make
them regret a continuance ol their fa
vors. Yours truly,
J. S. CHANT, Ph. G., Pharmacist,
