In the Rose street school the children arc crowded into three basement rooms, near the coal and wood bins and the dampness is evident on wet, rainy days. The principal of the Rose school is said to be very disgusted over the conditions and has made some effort to help the situation, in tnese classes a large number of the students are colored. "We think a petition should be circulated among the citizens of the Fifth ward asking the Board of Edification to do something definite about these conditions. We are not permitted to have colored teachers even in districts where 50 per cent of the children are colored.

It does seem that the board would in a measure 'salve the situation by giving the children clean, healthful surroundings, with adeouate space for comfort," declared Mr. Payne. Mrs. Herbert and Mr. Payne, one of the city'3 well known business men, were elected school visitors at the last election.

Mary M. Bond, the "Mother of Mothers," founder of the Home for Asred and Infirm Colored Women in Lemington avenue, answered the call of the Great Reaper last Wednesday. October 28th, dosing a. life of unselfishness and beautiful simplicity. The community kneels like one family at the bier of Mother Bond, as she was affectionately known, for her kindness was widely known, her sweet, charming disposition lauded by young; and old.

Like a beautiful flower, she added frag rance and happiness to dull, grajrv lives. and the world about her is much brighter, for her having lived. The story of Mrs. Bond's founding of the Home reads like fiction. In 1884, following the death of her eldest child, many friends came to offer sympathy.

Among them was a dear old lady, "Aunt Peggy" Donaldson. Aunt Peggy was destitute, but only when questioned by Mrs. Bond did she disclose the fact that her home was a cellar, damp and dingy, with none of the warm comforts an old lady requires. Mrs. Bond's quick sympathies went out to Aunt Peggy, and in spita of the recent bereavement In her own home, she straightway began to make preparations to do something for the needy old women of the community.

She called her four dearest friends to her home. Mrs. Nancy Williams, Mrs. James Johnson, Mrs, Jane Graniersor and Mrs. Samuel Golden.

"We must take care of Aunt Peggy," she told them. And through that long winter they payed Aunt Peggy's roomrent, divided their food with her and made her forget the discomforts of previous days. There was another meeting and then an organization was formed; other women joined in the early spring a campaig brought the organization nine hundred dollars, which they paid on a small house in LaPlace street. Thus was established the first home for aged women in this community. After! housing many dear old ladies for a number of years, the board sought larger quarters and it was Mother Bond who broke ground at the pres ent location ox tne nome in remington avenue id also burned the mortgage in Bethel church years later.

It was her proud wish that the Home be a source of comfort to the aged, and it is singular that she was a happy inmate of the institution in the last days of her eventful life. Mrs. Bond wa born in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, February 22. 1837, and was brought to Pittsburgh when three months old by her parents, the date Rev. John r'etk and Sara reck.

She was the wife of the late James H. Bond of Philadelphia, to which union six children wore born. Two devoted daughters, Miss Sadie nd and Mrs Dora Bond Jackson; granddaughter. Austina Jacks a brother, James Peck, and a sister, Mrs. Robert Jack i n'l Tiini son, are the nearca of surviving kin.

Impressive funeral services were held from the Home in Lemington avenue Friday evening, the Rev. F. C. Phipps and the choir of Ethnan Temple, in charge. Interment Saturday morning in Allegheny cemetery.

"Sunday Midnight Not To Be Closed, Walsh Considerable interest attached last week to the announcement Thursday made by Supt. of Police Peter P. Walsh that proprietors of theatres Who opened their doors few minutes after Sunday midnight for performances would be arrested, due to the effect such an order would have in the hill district large crowds attend the Sunday midnight show of the Elmore Theatre. However, on Friday, Walsh qualified this announcement with the statement that no action would be taken in this respect until advice was secured In the matter from the city law departrr.enet.

This roove'iwas taken as the result cf a conference between the Supt. of Police" and Public Safety director James M. Clark. In which, it was pointed out that these shows are. in reality being held on Monday.
