' —-———-‘0.0>—-—.—--— A NOBLE CHARITY. Sisters Who Attend to the Care ofa House as “’0“ as Nurse the Sick. An order of. sisters has been estab- lished in New York. whosework im- presses one at first sight as 'being the truest charity. It is called the Little Sisters of the Assumption, instituted originally in England, and its object is- to care for the sick poor in their} homes. muses in the limited seinse of word. devoting themselves exclusively to the sick room, but more especially: looking after the care of the house? and the needs of the little children in, the case, for instance, when a mother“: in bed and leave” husband,’ and the three or four little ones who" is obliged to star everything to the working may be about. The sisters go early in the morning to such a home, and, after giving the sick one whatever care and medicine she needs, they put the house in order, wash and dress the children if necessary, cook for them and for the mother, stay as nurses through the dav when they are needed, and be fore they go they have the father‘s dinner or supper cooked and ready for him,‘ put the children to bed and arrange everything for the sick mother during the night. The novices, besides beingr trained as competent home nurses. are -tlior-, oughly taught every detail of house~ work, and as their services are free to all who need them, they must be a real blessing to the afflicted poor, for whom sickness is a dreadful thing, not only in itself, but even more, perhaps. on account of the absolute neglect of the necessary duties of decent living that .t generally involves. The Sisters are supported by voluntary contributions. and these they are not permitted to receive individually, but the ofi‘erings mustbe presented at the convent as a free gift. Many of those wlhom they give whatever small sum they are able to in gratitude for their services. but it is wholly- uniooked for, and is a matter always of their own personal feeling of indebtedness. The support of the order must depend naturally on the charitably disposed among those Who are blessed with this world’s goods, but undoubtedly manv of these, ,to whom the care of the sick poor has been avery real and heartbreaking problem, are glad to‘en- trust their means to these good Sis- ters, who have solved it so well.——St._ Mary‘s Hospital News. 9 measuring nay.

New York, Jan. 24. --Such a.- day as All Records yesterday Was on the Stock Exchange . has not been witnessed for many years _if indeed it ever has been before. It smashes not-”only the record—so fre— quently smashed of late from day to day—in the number of transactions, but in the big jumps in prices Up‘and dowzi and in the confused and sensational condition of the market the whole day . through there is no recollection even among old time brokers to compate with it. London contributed its quota toward the general mix up, for that market, too, was something of a. bear garden, and the cables reported everybody abroad as climbing over each other to gather in the stocks which only a week ago they were selling to us at the rate of 40, 000 a day. The mall sun dance of crazed Indi- ans never made a. wilder scene than was witnessed by the spectators in the Stock Exchange galleries at the open- ing. For violent fluctuations, enor- mous transactions and intense excite- ment, comparison can only" be made with some of the panic days“ following the Baring failure in 1890, and the pub- lication of President Cleveland’s letter to Congress on the VeneZUelan question in 1893. ~ As is always the case in an excited market, stocks were to a great extent inflbenced by rumors of, all kinds. Ex- travagant reports find ready ears when stocks are jumping up or doWn two or three points between. trades. The most talked of of the stories was that regarding the consolidation of the an- derbilt lines to form a trans-continen- tal system, which has been repeatedly denied from official sources, but is still given credit, and that concerning the relation of the Pennsylvania road to the Panhandle, it being claimed that the two systems are now more closely linked than ever before. House Proceedings. Washington, D. C., Jan. 24.--In the House yesterday an attempt was made to pass under unanimous consent the bill extending to the Hawaiian islands the provisions of 'the anti-contract la.- bor laws, but objection Was made. The day being set apart for legisla-- tion affecting the district of Columbia, bills reported by the district committee were taken up. The following measures were passed: - To incorporate the American Social Service Association, to regulate the height of buildings in-th'e district, to cause the removal of weeds from va- cant lots in V‘Vashing—ton, to change the proceedings governing the admission of patients to the government hospital for the insane. Little.Melal in the Shamrock. Glasgow, ton has requested'the Glasgow Citizen to contradict the misleading state- ments which have been published re- garding the new racing cutter Sham— rock, which is to contest for the Ain- .erica’s cup. ,_Many new ideas have been suggested he says?- and in some cases they have the construction of the cup challenger, but the issue at stake is too great to induce the de- signer and builder of the cuttr-i to ex- periment to any extent. , While the rew boat is expected to be constructed on improved lines in com— parison with the alkyrie III, there will- be comparatively little metal used in the construction of the Shamrock. Spauilh Governor Murdered. '5 London,__ Jan. 24.--A dispatch from Victoria, Island of Labuan, under yes- terday’s date, announces the-1' arrival there ofthe steamship Labuan from Palawan island, Malay archipelago, bringing news of the murder by na- tives of the Spanish governor and other public ' officers of Palawan as they were leaving church.

Washington, Jan. 24.--The House committee‘on naval affairs has repor~ ted favoraly a 'resolution authorizing the appointment. of a special commit- tee of five members of the House, to investigate the difference in calibres of the rifles used by the army and navy and to devise a plan for bringing about uniformity. The object of the investigation" is to secure interchangeability of ammuni- tion. Colon Strike Continues Bitter. Colon, Colombia, Jan.,24.--A public meeting of the striking Wharf laborers was held here yesterday. A Wesleyan clergyman addressed the meeting and advised the‘ men to return to work. The laborers, however, decided to con" tinue the strike. The men have all been ordered to leave Fortune island, and the strikers are gathering in large numbers in the streets. The situation is very criti- cal. No Miners’ Strike Expected. Pittsburg, Pa., Jan. 24.-The miners’ 'sub scale committee is still in session, and thete is no change in the situation in the convention.
