All of the gifts, if love prompted, have been large aand pleasing to the great Father of the fatherless. Some friends, who have been eo operants in the cause during their day of Dabor on the earth, have, in a wise practical way re pie inhered the homeless children in their last will and testament and have directed that a part of the funds they were to leave behind be employed in carry ing forward the work. Bequests have been made by E. F. Powell, of Halfifaax; Miss Sal lie A. Jones, of Greenville; B, F. Moore, of Wake County; riv,id Oettinger, of Wilson; Samuel Fogle ,of Winston Mrs. Rebecca Baiird ,of Buncdmbe Co B. E. Sedberry, of Fayetteville ; Mrs. Marina T. White, of Winston; Miss E. V. Bynuim, of Sairaiatoga, Wil son County; James A. Bradley, of California; F. M. Phillips, of Daviie Ounty; Waashmgton Duke, of Dur haim; L. E. Pridgen, of Gireene Coun ty; C. H. Belvin, of Raleigh. The legacy lairgest in amount was manLe by Brotftoer Jaxnes Bradley, of Califor nia, aa former North CarolilniaiL He gave an interest in som eproperty in Mimaneapoilis, Minn., which when final ly sold, nietted the institution about $6,000. When Brother Lawrence, whose ser .-vice to th ecause was really great, retired from the management of the institution dn July 1898, Col. W. J. Hicks, of Raleigh, the choice) of the Board for the Superintendency, took up the "wjorfk. At this time, the Directors most -wisely created the office of lady Supervisor, and placed in this office Miss Nettie N. Bemis, an energetic and a capable worker. Among her many rseponisible duties to the super vision of the school work and of thie domestic cr household duties of the girls. A good woman isn this po sition performs a service which a man could not perform . . During the present adminstration that of Col. Hicks, the worth of which can perhaps, be better meas ured in the coining years, the busi ness organization has been improved, the school work has been more thoroughly organized and has been made more efficient. Ths girls cottages, the movement for the build ing cf .which began,under,Brother,La rence's administration, have been constructed and occupied. The wood working shop has heenj removed frcjai its location some distancae from the grounds to a comvient site near the boys' cottages, into a brick building erected for it mostly out of material from the boys' old build ing. Not far from the wood shop,two,brick buildings have been erected.for.Laun dry sewing room s;,and, printing-office and shoe shop. A deep well has been bored and the water and sewerage system has been dimpiroved. Industries have been centralized, both for ccn yencience, thoroughness of supervis ion and economy. Rooms for,the,iSnpe intendment have beeax fitted up Ems the Saint Johns College building and his former home has been converted into a convenient hospital.' An office or administration buiiildirug is now neaii ing completion. Thtese and minor improvements have certainly, increased the possibiil itiles of the imstution for a ibiigh grade of work. From 1872 when the,Orphaniage,was established to 1909 the mumbeir of affiliate Master Masons in the State has grown, from only a few thousand to about 19,000. The number of chil dren! in the Oxford Orphan Asylum has grown to 330 and since 1872, ac cording to records, fully 2,600 girls a boys have received the care of the Orphanage. Many of these are use ful Christian citi'zenis. Of the atjmosphere, the spirit of of the place, a matter of such vital im portance I cannot and shall not at tempt to write with difiniteness, Suffice it to say that we have abunt ant reason to believe that God is in the work, He has a wise and lov ing purpose in it, that the results of the work are, with the years, in creasingly great. Men and women have been privi leged to join ins with God in this mind stry of rescue, of salvation. For this and for ailJI such. insttit!oiis,per.f arming the value cf which is beyond nieas a necessary a distinctive mission ure, we have reason to be grateful. The hiightest praise belongs to our God who impels men to and strength ens them in an unselfish service. (Special to Dailty News). Raleigh, 9. Deputy United 'States Marshol Ripton W..

Wooliviin from blame At this point George Roumtree, of counsel for the pKaiimtiff, said with mnch heat: "You have practically ki'll ed our plaintiff," and stated that he thought the court had gene out of its way in commenting as it had in regard to the verdict. Judge 'Cook sternly com-hianded Mr. Roumtree to take his seat, which he did. His honor stated further that he had been treated with much indig nity by counsel during the trial of the case. The counsel present arose and disavowed any such intnetion, but Mr .Rountree got his hat and left the courtroom without making any apology. The verdict against the city was signed, but the issue exonerating Woolvin from blame was set aside, which means a second trial.

A 3-year old lioness battled with 20 men yesterday when tihey were putting her in a den .in the lien house 'in the Bronx Soo. She was Niobe, lagisoed by Buffalo Jones on fails recent faun tfer big game with the moving picutre camera and lar iat, near Nairobi, Africa. Ni-cbe arrived by steamer two cr three days ago nicely dene up in a package 5 feet high, 10 feet long and 8 feet wide. This cage had 3 4 inches iron bars, and to make it easy to fondle her, Xiobe wore an 8 inch leather belt around her waist and a 4-inch Is at her collar arovnd hsr neck. An express company deliv ered tlhe package at Bronx park yes terday, alter talking, it up through the city to the music cf her occas ional roars. "Xo, Ave den't care about seeing her put into the li.oii house," the expressman said and hastily departed WiU'iiam T. Hcrrady, tr e Zco di rector, had the cage backed v.p to aa cutside den of the lf.cn ho-m-e. Then it was debated how to ret the cel lar and belt cf before tmrn? her into the steel dm. A trainer shook his hand at. th r o ug;h t e b ar s . Tlhere was a tawny flash as the ani- j mal hurled herself at him. She hit j the bars with a roar, and pawed j the air outride wih tone leg th?st cs!,m ethroug-h. Then in a flash she I was back at the far corner, crouching! wfiiht her eye like coals of fire. j A leng steel red with a hook cn the end was poked in. A sweep cf j one paw s?int it clagniing cat of tlhe j men's hands. Finally th hecok, with j lucky pass cai'.sht the leather belt. : A dczen men sr-'zer! the r"d a"d ; drew her up to the bars, digging her j greet claws 'Vr.tc the weedwerk cf . bit at th,? hook, tore j nei Deit. an:i rumea ov er f.-n-d over, even standing on ner I head. i But the men got her to the bars! and pulled .Tver tightly agakst ttem i while the belt 'was cut with a knife, i the floor. She Lt the h Loosened, she leaped away and ev en stood lashing her aides. The task of getting the hoolc througih iher collar was harder still, and when it was accomplished, anid she was pulled up to the bars, she advanced her formidable head so that no one could approach the cellar witfc the knife. One man who tried it got his arm too near and she ripped his s-ieeve eff as ii :t wero tissue paper Seen in an f-xceaa of even grefiter fury she oae at the bjirs to gel through at th mtn. Jt was ih -ri that a suddc-o pull brought hr head and neck up sidewiise and the collar was slit with the knife. "I hen the door oC the den was op ened, the door of the cave swiung in ward, and she went throngih. Lnto f;he alrger space with a bouaid. The cage dcaor was stemmed. She raced around, trying to find a way otu but scon noticed the young 'oy cubs in the next cage, and went over amd rubed against the bars sin a friendly way. It will be some time before any cf us dare go imto her cave," said Kcnnaday. "she is probably trne wild est lioness ever brought to this park.
