#house of refuge

[arrowheadedbitch]

I really like the idea of the house of refuge showing up again because a mission just went THAT BAD

Cassandra: Oh, come on, Ezekiel, the mission couldn't have gone that badly!

Ezekiel: The house of refuge showed up.

Cassandra: Jesus christ, what did you DO

Just, a librarian running through the woods after the worst mission to date, only to run into the house of refuge just sitting there like 'damn, there's no fucking WAY things have gotten so bad that THE HOUSE OF REFUGE SHOWED UP FOR ME. FUCKK'

“NINE UNEMPLOYED GIVEN ACQUITTAL,” Montreal Gazette. January 6, 1933. Page 4. ---- Vitre Street Refuge Men Charged With Having Disturbed the Peace ---- SYMPATHIZERS ATTEND --- Evidence Shows Trouble Arose Over Desire to Have Relief Card Restored to Alleged Communist ---- Acquittal was given nine unemployed workers all inmates of the Vitre street day refuge by Recorder Aime Leblanc in the Recorder's Court yesterday on charges of having disturbed the peace. Their arrest followed in the wake of a rowdy meeting on December 2 last between a delegation of the unemployed workers receiving relief and G. B. Clarke, manager of the Protestant Relief Committee's offices on St. George street, over cancellation by the relief bureau of the relief card of an alleged Communist. 

Evidence before the court showed that one John McMartin, branded by the police as a "Communist," had had his relief card cancelled by officials of the Protestant Relief Committee on December 1 last on the grounds that he was disseminating subversive propaganda amongst inmates of the Vitre street refuge. McMartin complained at the St. George street offices of the committee, and was told to see Mr. Clarke on the morrow during business hours. 

The next day, McMartin, accompanied by a group of the unemployed receiving relief, turned up and asked to see Mr. Clarke. They affirmed that they comprised a "delegation," and wanted to protest against cancellation of McMartin's relief card. Their request was refused because they had not appeared during the specified business hours of the office, but the men became so persistent that Mr. Clarke was obliged to see them. He told them that their complaints would be Investigated, but they demanded the immediate renewal of McMartin's relief card. Surging into the office, the crowd of men is alleged to have become menacing, and the police were called.

Arrested on charges of "disturbing the peace by shouting outside of No. 1027 St. George street,” nine of the men faced the Recorder yesterday in chambers. Outside in the lobby was gathered a crowd of "sympathizers" estimated at some 60 in number. 

DISTURBING OF PEACE. Following deposition of evidence, J. H. Blumenstein, attorney for the nine accused, asked that the charges against all men be dismissed. Complaints against them charged that they had disturbed the peace "outside" of the St, George street offices, he noted, but there was no disturbance there. What had happened - and it represented but the submission by the nine men of definite-demands to Mr. Clarke - had gone on inside of the offices. 

"If a delegation waits on somebody and lays down certain demands, is that to be interpreted by the law as willful disturbance of the public peace?" Mr. Blumenstein asked.

Recorder Leblanc, in his judgment, acquitted all nine men.

Some of you may know that one of my focus areas of Civil War research is the military service of former reformatory inmates. I was recently amazed to stumble across this image of the officers and NCOs of Co. I, 38th New York Infantry. The drummer boy is Lewis Simons, a young German Jewish immigrant who spent time incarcerated at the NY House of Refuge for vagrancy prior to the war. Simons was just 14-15 when he enlisted in 1861. He ended his service in 1865 as a corporal in the 34th New Jersey. More info about Simons' life and service can be found at the Shapell Roster of Jewish Service in the American Civil War.

This house is crazy and I want it so bad! It comes with Manatees! The 1960 house in Crystal River, Florida has a spring that goes thru the property that's a Manatee rescue and refuge protected by the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife. It's currently being operated as a bed & breakfast, but it doesn't have to be. 5bds, 5ba, and all the cool furnishings stay! $3.3M - it's pricey, but Manatees! Look at them all, right in the yard.

Bear in mind that all this great stuff conveys and look at the painted floor.

Check it out, a blue fireplace.

The kitchen's cute and it's quite large.

This is a main floor bedroom and look at the manatee mural. They even have manatee bedding.

There's seaweed painted on this bathroom wall. The murals are professionally done.

The rest of the bedrooms and baths are on the 2nd floor.

The upstairs bedrooms are just as cool. This is so pretty and it has bedding to match.

The en-suite.

The owners really went all out with the decor.

Small pirate bedroom is adorable for a child.

This is another residence on the property and could be a guest house or caretaker's house.

It's currently used as storage.

Has a nice bath- love the shell sink.

And, there they are, the manatees swimming by in the heated spring- the water temp stays around 72 degrees year-round.

Even the chimney on the fireplace has a mural and there's a roof top deck on the house.

Seating around a fire pit.

I thought that this was an outdoor fireplace, but I don't think it is.

All of these boats convey so guests can take them out on the river.

The property is .45 acre.

I would say that there are so many homes around that they're probably private residences, rather than bed & breakfasts.

Egg Rock Light, Frenchman Bay, Winter Harbor, Maine. Until the lighthouse was built in 1875, Egg Rock was known for its massive amount of sea bird nests. Today ownership belongs to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and is managed as part of the Maine Coastal Islands National Wildlife Refuge. If you're boating about the Bar Harbor area, be sure to be on the look out for the numerous harbor seals and black guillemots that are usually loitering around the lighthouse today.

[Sometimes, through weariness or discouragement, no new thing arises. Sometimes, through pressure and anxiety, many old things overwhelm. Learn to wait... ...for the stirring or for the subsiding. Learn to wait, for the turmoil to be still, for the stillness to speak. Let memory recall times of taking refuge, times of setting forth anew. Bring to mind times of comfort or times of purpose. You have passed this way before. You have left markers along the way. Look for them. Go back to where you were. Begin again.]

your eleventh fleet concepts are just *chef's kiss* as brilliant as they can be

Thank you, littlekhada! Your art is also beautiful!

I will continue to develop the “Eleventh Fleet”. My drawings haven’t received such a response for a long time - it’s very motivating. Also noticed that your really liked Thrawn's design during his exile in Peridea. Well… I have an "attempt" to make concept art of a landscape of a distant planet. I wanted to make the Purgills' final refuge more… dead? ashen? atmospheric? Yes, that's probably exactly it.

"Ouverture du refuge catholique," La Presse. May 31, 1933. Page 3. ---- Le chanoine Harbour présidera demain l'inauguration de l'asile de la rue Belmont. --- CHAPELLE ET CONFORT ---- C'est demain, avec l'ouverture du mois du Sacré-Coeur, que sera inauguré le Refuge catholique, 660, rue Belmont, juste en arrière du gratte-ciel du Téléphone Bell. Ce refuge, qui hospitalisera les chômeurs sans asile, est situé dans la paroisse cathédrale de Montréal et M. le chanoine Adélard Harbour, curé de la basilique, qui prend le plus vif intérêt à cette oeuvre, présidera la cérémonie d'ouverture. En effet, l’ancienne école protestante Belmont, où pendant de nombreuses années Ia Commission des écoles protestantes eut son siège, se trouve convertie en institution catholique et la grande salle située au centre du premier étage est transformée en chapelle, où les chômeurs trouveront le réconfort de la religion, tandis qu'ils joulront de tous les autres avantages dans le reste de l'édifice.

M. G.-A. Monette, architecte, a tenu à offrir son concours spontané et généreux à M. le chanoine Harbour et, d'après ses plans et sous sa surveillance, la spacieuse bâtisse est pourvue de salles d'attente, de toilette, de douches, de cuisine et de réfectoire. Les dortoirs, au premier étage, contiennent des couchettes à deux lits superposés. Déjà, les cuisines sont terminées et la vaisselle est entrée. Dans toutes les salles, de nombreux ouvriers travaillent hativement aujourd'hui à parachever les travaux les plus urgents et une équipe est, occupée à achever la construction d'un escalier de bois, du côté de la rue Laganchetière, escalier que devront prendre les chômeurs. La vieille clôture a été entièrement réparée et les chômeurs auront une grande cour pour s'y récréer.
