DOWN In an unpretentious house at 13 North Fifth street eight little tads are brought every morning - bright and early by eight devoted mothers. The little ones seem glad to get there. They know that there Is a bright day . ahead," with good care, plenty to eat, a cosy place to sleep and such a lot of other tots for company. The day passes before they know it, and then come the mothers again to take them away home for a lonf night's sleep. It is a routine that keeps the eight representatives of a coming generation in the happiest frame of mind so that they do not get any little glimpses of a hard world such as they may or may not see plenty of later on. The children of billionaires can be no more content. Such is the work of the new day nursery recently opened and for which success is already assured. The ladles of the Fruit and Flower Mission, who conduct this nursery, have tilled a need that will prove a boon to many working mothers. They have made it possible for mothers who are compelled to earn a livelihood to solve the difficult problem of caring for their children during the long hours of work. Although In the first month of Its ex istence, the nursery has accomplished much, and its field of usefulness Is rapid ly widening. Mothers of the poorer classes who hung back at first are b coming interested, and there is every pros pect that the nursery will shortly be filled up to its capacity of 30 children. - The charity is a broad one and of the most worthy of Portland's many .charit able undertakings. While similar institu tions are maintained in most of the larger cities of the country. It is an innovation to Portland. The Idea of the nursery. In a word, is to care for the children of working mothers during the hours they are employed. No children are kept during; the night, hours being from 7 A. M. until 7 P. M. Mothers are required to bring their children in the morning and to call for tbem. The age limit is trom birth to ( years. ' A small fee of 10 cent's a day Is charged.'.- . The . care of the little lones .devolves upon volunteer nurses. These volunteers are recruited from among the city's best known young women, and In mtiny in stances are the same as serve at the Peo ple's Institute. The duties of the volun teer nurses'are to look after all the wants of the children. This work is supervised by the matron. Mrs. Klla F. Hedrick. who Is titled by wide experience for the work. The volunteers are able to earn much ex perience that may prove of great value to them at some later period. All the 3i members of the Fruit and Fhower Mission can be railed for this TO E Steamers Aurelia and Break water Conquer Elements. ARRIVE FROM THE BAY CITY Officers of the Anrella Lost Homes In the" San Francisco Fire, and Bring Their Families to Portland. ' The steamers Aurelia and Breakwater arrived here from San Francisco last night, after having battled with some of the roughest weather ever recorded along the coast. For four days and nights the two coasters hugged the shore so closely that land was always plainly in view, or they would probably never have reached their destination. The wind being off shore made the sea comparatively smooth near shore, although out to sea the waves ran mountains high. A continuous gale from the northwest held the vessels back all the way from the Golden Gate to the Columbia-River bar. and there was not a minute's let up. It was a steady "blow, with increasing velocity, If anything. The Aurelia reached the bar shortly after midnight yesterday, and, aided by the light of the moon, she .crossed In and leached Astoria before daybreak. She made the Oak-street dock at 6 o'clock last night and landed about a dozen passengers and abont 50 tons of paint, the only freight brought from the Bay City this trip. She will go to the Portland Lumber Com pany's mills Monday to load a full cargo of lumber for -Oakland. The Breakwater reached Astoria in the forenoon, and arrived at Ainsworth dock at 9 o'clock last night, where she dis charged a few hundred tons of sugar. She will load general merchandise at Oak street dock for Eureka, for which port she will probably sail Tuesday. Captain Brickson and Chief Engineer B. B. Bullene, of the Aurella, brought their families to locate here, both having lost everything in the San Francisco Are, Among those who. came up on the steamer wer Fred Russell, of Russell & Rogers, owners of the Aurelia, and wife. Mr. Russell is here to look after the firm's in t.ereat, and Aire. Russell came along to rest up after the trying ordeal incident to the earthquake. "Our Arm escaped with little loss," said Mr. Russell, "and we consider ourselves fortunate. Indeed. Our office was de stroyed, .but .the contents of the - safe were found Intact, so we shall have no trouble in handling our accounts. We "have established new offices in our ware house building at Fifthr and Berry streets and are getting ready for business. "San Francisco will build up along the old plans, and in general new San Fran cisco will be much like the old city. al-. though the business structures will be more up to date, as a whole. At first cheap structures will be erected to house the homeless merchants, but as soon as things get somewhat Into shape large Bteel structures will spring up along the well-known and popular thoroughfares. "An army of. I, should say, 10,000 men has already begun clearing the streets of debris, and some of the street-car lines have resumed service On account of the condition of affairs at San Francisco, our firm will pay off ' our-crews In Portland for some time to come." On her Jast trip south the Aurelia reached San Francisco on the Saturday following the earthquake, and her lumber cargo was confiscated by the Government authorities. Schoolteacher Is Robbed. Mary S. Kane, a schoolteacher from La Center, Wash., was robbed of J60 at the St. Charles hotel Friday night. . but retained the greater part of the- money which she had brought to Portland. She reported to the police yesterday, that she had left her reticule for a few minutes in one of the toilet-rooms at the St. Charles and on returning $60 was gone. In the purse was a certified check for J100 and $3 in silver, which was not touched. Detective Vaughn escorted the teacher to the bank, where she was supplied with funds. No trace of the stolen money has been found. ; Farmers' Educational Meeting. A farmers' educational institute was held yesterday afternoon at Evening Star Grange Hall on the Section Line road.
