SOME SENSATIONAL The High Wedding To-day—Talk of Rev. Dr. McCreary for a Cc President — Unexpected Business Changes, CLAIMS, iendless Home, About two years ago public atten- tion was called to the management of the Home of the Friendless in this city, and some very unpleasant facts were then stated. It was conceded by all that the children were not being properly cared for, that they were poorly fed, and that they were afilicted by vermin, and other indications of filth and want. The con- dition of the home at that time was ex- plained on the ground that the funds were very limited, and that the quarters were erowded. The manager, Rev. Mr, Lemen, Iaid the blame for many of the causes of complaint uvon the assistant manager and associate, Rev. Mr. Bovell, and upon the matron, M Compton. These two told an’entirely different story, however, and the details were before the public by the B t the time. Mr. Lemen declared that he was going to as- sume personal supervision of the home, move his family there, and see to it him- f, making ull necessary changes so as dy the causes of complaint, A committée of worthy gentlemen of his own_ sclection were called here quietly by him on a pretended investigation They examined no_ witnesses, and hearing his side of th signed of milky report, which could be cons as favorable to the management. Since then the institution has been going on, appealing to the publie for aid, and with hardly a word of public criticism. The BeE, as well as other papers, many people have shrunk from giv; publicity to many reports which h lying about, lest some harm should to an institution whose avowed s were so noble. Sympathy for ndless ones who there found a sort of home also prompted many to aid the enterprise who were not friendly to the manager, ana who desired to sce” the institution in_better hands. The news papers have given much free advert to the institution, and the pastors of s eral of the churches have indirectly, at least, endorsed it as worthy of public cos fidence and |~up|l\urt. Of late facts h been coming to light which seem to cor- roborate many of the ramors and reports, at least to a suflicient extent to demand careful and honest investigation of ti afluirs of the home. Such an inv i due the public, and is certainl) . Lemen, if his management e the lie to the many state- against it. It is hoped that iate estigation is given will not be mu ore by an ex parte com- mittee in his interests, but will be a_fair and formal investigation, by somcbody who will go to the bottom for tacts. and make the truth clear before the public. ization is being asked ted in the Home, The cstion is as to who shall in- ‘The Howe is the pri property of Mr. Lemen, us the origi deed shows, and not owned by the asso- J :h has been held out to the public as electing him as manager. Those who have examined the papers say that he cannot be removed from 1t, and another manager put in his place, and that, in fdct, it is his private institution, no matter how it is represented before the public. Letters have lately been written to the board of trustees aski them to investigate. The complaint were brought betore the ministers of the city Monday at their weekly mecting, and a resolution presented to request the trustees to investigate, but as one of the pastors did not want to have any- thing to do with it, aud the others did not want to take such action unless it was unanimous, the matter was py poned. The ministers who have been so ready to give ns)pxu'nut endorsement to the institution should not be thus timid in getting at the faots. T'he BEE has been inquiring into mat- ters, not with any desire to injure any worthy enterprise, but feeling that the public was entitled to know, so far as it could, what condition the home is in. The claim that it is represented as a pub- lic institution, while in fact it is Mr." Le- men’s personal enterprise, is passed over as one of the slightest of causes of complaint. The eclai; although bearing the title of reverand he does aot belong to any church, and that he is not responsible to any ecclesiust] churchly organization, is also over as unimportant in compari other churges made by those who claim to be personally acquainted with the facts. The more important and vital ques- tion is whether the children aro being properly cared for and educated in ac- cordance with the avowed objects of the institution. Itis claimed, not by one, but by sev- eral, who ought to know just what they are l(-sli&ving to, that the food is insufli- cient and poorly cooked. It is elaime that the managor is high-tempered, tyrannical in his treatment, and severe in his punishment of children. The quarters are quite crowded and from four to six children are tombled into each bed, h poor ventilati 1 thus crowded together there i ¢ other v wliness and orde i claimed that no such eare is taken. cassionally & wash-tub is used in which to bathe some of the younger one: ) res glect apparent by the numnber of v min which are found upon the childr The diet is said to be anything but s ficient in quality or quantity, The ¢ dren ave taught to eat what is set befo; them without a word of complant or without a request of ything more or better. 'T'he food i !, potatoes and a sort of g aker's bread is gener: ally used and’this is good. FEach child allowed three slices of this for break and for dinner, and the larger ones two f , and the smaller ones one. 1t by obsery that the appetite ot the children is such in proportion to the !\lpplry that there 15 never a3 much as a orumb of bread wasted by them, an un- usual thing for well-fed children, In ad- dition to the bread diet there are pota, toes for dinner, s d in a sort of gravy which is made of flour and water mainly, with hardly any oil Awthing res bling it. Ahoutonce a weck, or when vi itors appear, a litde butter is allowed, When there alack of baker's bread corn bread is baked for the children. This bread, according to the state- meont of some who have actually cooked it, under ctions of the matron, 15 made simply of meal, water and salt, without a bit of shortening, soda, or any- thing to lighten it. One Tady whe had known this fact, remarked to the Bex man that it was Pllh'! such bread as had been made for the poorest slaves in the south and that it was not fit for anything bit a dog, much less for children. ~Ocea- sionlly some milk is gi smaller children, the cream being eare- fully taken oft for nse on the manager's table. As for moat, it 1s said to be served every sixth meal, and then each child is doled cut & bit not larger than could be taken in one mouthful™ It is further said that supplics donated for the children first fiud their way into the manager's hovse and are either consunied there or in some way disappear. An instance is cited where some strawberries were sent to the home one morning lately for the children's breakfast. Instead of being divided up among the little folks, the manager's table was supplied with them for br fast and dinner. Some onions gent in the same way came to the children simply as tops, while the onions them- gelves were kept and his family. The manager and other adults about the home ocenpy o different table from the children, and have a different bill of fare. Yet the children are tanght to call him “Papa Lemen,'” althongh not wed to eat at their father's table. Ihe punishment meted out to the chiidren for httle offenses is said to be by far too severe. The manager himself | calls the offending child into his room and there chastises it. - One lady informs | the Beg that last week she had an oppor- | tunity of making a personal examination of fiye girls, and founa_black and blue marks upon them. One of these was httle Edna, who has been brought before the public at entertainments as a reciter of scriptural poems. One child old bore the marks of a whip, coraing to the statement of this lady and some of the girls told her they had been so whipped that they were hardly able to walk around. A common mode of punishment is to be tostand a child in & corner for hours at a time, and recently on onc of the hottest days, a boy was madeto stand in the hog pen be- neath the broiling sun for most of the forenoon. Another cause of complaint is that the cnildren are not being properly educated and trained, Three hours of the fore- noon are said to be devoted ostensib teaching the childven. They are n tanght gosvel hymns and taught to re- heat the Twenty-third psalm. t is elnimed that little time is spent on teaching them anything beyond such ne- comphshments as will serve to muke them suitable for presenting a pleasin public exhibition. Case re cited of children in the Home, 6 and 7 years old, who do not know their letters, even. The matron is said to be a v worthy womun, but she has the sistance simply of ac lored woman who has two children in the home.

Perhaps this may account in part for the neglect claimed. It i ent that Iittle chance is given for training thesc children in the many ways which are deemed essential in the true christian home. It seems that as in other institutions of is kind, a policy wouid be adopted of ing homes in private families when- ever possible. Here, however, the man- ud to pursue an opposite conrse. s member of the home always a member. Mostof the ehildren are bound to Mr. Lemen, adopted by the home, there to remain until they are of age. short time ago'a worthy fumily, of abundant means, living near this city desired to adopt a child, but no, it was deemed better to keep the little one thus crowded in the herd, to get such ca s y be bestowed upon 1t to live to be taught to nd to fight vermin, rather recite p 1 home with true cl than have a influence: Another case is cited out of many. father, left by the death of his wife, hildren, placed them in th become so situated that he he can care for them and is cer- tain he can do more for them than i being done at the home, but he h: them to the ho: and says the m: absolutely refuses to let them return their father. Such are only the outlines of many faets which are being stated by those who certainly ought to know, and who doubt- less do i;um\' how the Christian home is being conducted. When the proper time comes the names of these informants will n, with further statements made to the Bk, and to oth They e persons in whom confidence is placed, and in whom the manager him- self has had confidence, so that the charges do not appear to emanate from any svite or personal feeling. There seems to be no one who wants to take the responsibility of pushing an investiga- tion, and there seems no organized hody to conduct any such investigation, and hence they have not yet taken formal shape. The public is” entitled to facts, however, and the manager is cither ter- ribly maligned l){' these informants or else there should be a radical change in the institution. The little ones excite the sympathy of all good hearted people, and while the lmbl.c is willing to give gener- ously for their care, it should bo secn to that the children have a Christian home, in fact as well asin name. If the state- ments made to the Bee by different partics are true, the name as well as the management of the institution should be changed at once. A Christian home, where children are poorly fed, whipped until they bear the marks for days, al- lowed to grow up in_filth and covered with vermin, uuhmgiht except in the rep- etition of psalms and gospel hymns, bid- den to look upon the manager as “‘papa’’ until of age, and yet notallowed to sit at their father’s table, nor allowed to even k for an extra bite or bread,—such a “hristian home is certainly no eredit to Council Bluffs. So many and strong are atements made by persons convers- with the history of the institution, that it is high time that some body of re- sponsible citizens made themselves per- sonally acquainted with all the facts, and d public contidence by an open en- scment of the enterprise and its man- agement, or else roport adversely, so thut the public mght no longer be mislead.
