$ 4-A-WEEK BOARDING
HOUSE FOR WORKING
New York, Feb. 6. A back to clothe
a stomach to feed and a weary head
to rest all on seven dollars a week,
became less of a problem today for
eighty New York shop and factory
girls.
An anonyomus benefactor has es
tablished the Varick House, a new
boarding house for girls, on new and
unfettered lines, and it was opened
this week at 11 Dominick street
The house, is a six-story building,
fireproof and new, and has rooms for
eighty girls, a sleeping porch, and a
parlor for taffy pulls, way up on the
roof. ' '
The price of room and board, in
cluding luncheon, is from $4 to $4.75
a week. There is a sewing room with
electrical connections for sewing ma
chines, where the economical girl may
make her own dresses and other cloth
ing. A laundry, witn modern equip
ment has been installed. .
One of the sponsors of the home
found, in a New England village, a
fine Colonial easy chair, and had du
plicates made of it for every room in
which there will be, besides this chair,
a chiffonier, bed, desk table qnd side
chair. ,
Red tape has been done away with,
and any working girl can become a
resident. Miss Margaret Shearer, a
recent graduate of Bryn Mawr, will
be in charge of Varick HouBe.

Trenton, N. J., Feb. C If Edgar
Murphy, convicted of the murder
Herman Fisher at Taylor's Cta-
tion, is not granted a stay of execu
tion he will die in the electric chair,
at the State Prison here during the
week of February 8.
Murphy shot and killed Fisher on
the night of July 11, after the latter
had visited his sweetheart's home.
Murphy had been calling on the girl's
sister, but was told to discontinue his
visits when it became known he was a
married man. According to the test
imony, Murphy blamed Fisher for
telling of his marriage. The shoot
ing occurred along a corn field. Two
days later Murphy was arrested, and
in a confession, which he afterward
reoudiated, Murphy admitted the
' crime. ., ..v .
j When Murphy was aentenced to
death by Justice Kalisch, in the Mount
Holly court house, he aced like a rav
ing maniac He fought and strug
gled with court officers until they had
to resort to chaining his wrists and
' ankles in order to remove him from
court : ' , : 'ii -

MAY TEACH VAGABONDS
SCIENTIFIC FARMING
Cleveland, Feb. 6. A plan to give
the recreant ''vag" a hand at scien
tific farming by putting the 2,000
acres of Warrensville Farm, Cleve
land, great corrective institution, un
der scientific cultivation, is being
worked out here today.
Not only the tramp who comes out
of the police courts with an enforced
vacation tagged on him, but every
prisoner would be given an opportuni
ty to tend his little patch of onions,
carrots, peas, corn or whatever the
case might be.
The major portion of the farm will
be cut up into plots of forty acres or
so in order that experimentation can
progress on a larger scale than is
now customary on state experimenta
tion farms. A complete and scientific
record of the-crop from "seed to
shuck" would be kept by experts.
The proposed project is being put
into form on the assumption that
western reserve university and Case
School of Applied Science here may
some day be merged Into municipal
university, requiring a course in
scientific agriculture. . ,
