The following interesting l**fer, touch
ing upon a branch of philanthropic work
in Cuba that is seldom, if ever heard of
through newspaper correspondence, has
been received from 1 wift ofg&n Amei
lean officer at Yedado, Cuba, by relatives
in this city:
Wednesday morning we started off
bright and early for the “Colcgio Bene
flcencia,” managed by Senora Ameri* a
Farres. in the Cc rro suburb. VVc took a
ihort rout© out through the country
roads, and the meadows looked luxu
riantly green and fresh on both sides of
Ihe raised highway. We passed a rose
nursery and were next saluted by the
delicious fragrance of a tannery! W e
finally rattled into the Cerro, a long, hot.
•tinny street, and after passing the fine
place of the English consul, a vivid lerra
ootta, with white trimmings, and a
splendid garden, neatly kept, and a
glimpse of some giant royal palms, w©
drew up at the. school. The senora, a
handsome, clever woman, who spent nine
teen years in New York, and is as well
educated as any American lady, received
us cordially, and proceeded to marshal
her forces. We seated ourselves in the
great salon, .and admired the pendant
carvings of the arches, the elaborate
mouldings of white plaster, the frescoed
ceiling and other evidences of ancient
grandeur, (for this is just a rented house,
as a temporary home for these orphans*
till she seated herself at the jingling old
piano and struck up “Onward Christian
Soldiers,” when instantly a burst of
childish voices began the Spanish version
of the hymn, and from behind the screen
of the patio appeared the governess, a
tall, gray-haired woman, leading the
smallest orphan, a regular little darling,
about three years old. and behind her,
two and two, boys and girls, to the age of
fourteen, about thirty in all. They wore
cheap dark blue cotton gowns and suits,
with a white Maltese cross sewed on the
chest, and had their hair cut short.
There were several blondes, but the ma
jority had the waxen skins, and great
black orbs of the typical Spaniard When
The music stopped the little dumpling by
the governess trotted forward to the wall,
where the Cuban and American flags
were displayed, and gave a military sa
lute, afterwards taking her seat in the
little rocker she occupies in the kinder
garten. All the children, by couples, re
peated this salute, the little boys especial
ly relishing it, I thought, and then, stand
ing by their seats, they sang the kinder
garten morning song, “Good Morning to
You!” Then she put them through their
usual routine, speaking in English, and
they replying in the same Way. She has
tried to follow* <he modern systems of ed
ucation, teaching form, color, object,
numbers, and so on. while instructing in
English so that they can acquire that, too.
They were bright and interested, and
their accent was pretty good. She spends
several hours there every day. and as
she is not rich now, supports the estab
lishment by soliciting donations from
wealthy friends. Her work is of course
entirely voluntary, and a very great la
bor; she has learned type-writing to be
able to teach the older girls, and oversees
the health, morals, minds and manners
of these children, expenses, bank account,
bills, everything connected with the place.
Just thirik what an undertaking! The chil
dren were picked up here, there, any
where; two were found alone in a hut
In the country, entirely alone, five are
Bisters, on© is the graud-daughter of a
countess, whose relations are too poor
to support her; another lost her parents
In the war, her mother having command
ed a troop! They have no boys over five.
Well, now* it was time to bring out my
five pounds of candy—only gum
drops—and display our German
VpuMy” books Aunt and Uncle gave the
children, which I thought might amuse
these little melancholy-eyed Cubans, ns
1 had no books to give away. So Senora
put Marjorie in her place, to distribute
the dulces, and showing the l>ox. said:
“This is candy.” No answering smile ap
peared on the attentive little faces, so
ahe said. “Bon-bons;” no response.
“Well, dulces.” she admitted, and the
flash w’hich lit up their faces was almost
Instantaneous. So while they slowly and
solemnly devoured the sweets, I took
the chair, ami ptmt-d the- Wimerwert pic
ture books, explaining as well as my fee
ble Spanish would permit, and eking it
out with the most extraordinary, dra
matic gestures. I wish would write
Mutter about It: if she could have seen
the delighted faces, and hearty laughs,
the interest and wonder those pictures
excited, even the governess craning her
reck to see. and the servants running to
keep in at the windows while Senora ex
plained that the books came from “Ale
mania,” where Kroebel’s kindergarten
system originated. 1 think Mrs. Winter
•vert would certainly have been pleased.
As Senora said, “flow little we dream of
the far-reaching consequences of a kind
act! To think thoese books should have
been enjoyed by so many far-distant peo
ple as well as by you!” (Even Capt.

never saw any before, and was hugely
delighted with them.) Then they wore
dismissed, and we began an inspection of
the house; it is very bare, plain and sim
ple, for the Senora will spend nothing on
a temporary residence, though she has
quite a fund in the bank, which she pro
poses to transfer to whomever takes the
enterprise off her hands eventually. She
has offered it to our church, being a de
vout churchwoman, but the church au
thorities hesitate to accept; I don't know
why, for it is a grand opportunity, but
Gen. Ludlow urges her to surrender it
to the municipal government, which al
ready has a large asylum for such people.
She is very reluctant to do so, and I do
hope she will not be obliged to. Well, we
went the rounds; the dormitories, whose
beds were just eoldiers’ canvas cots, with
gay’ chintz covers, no bed-clothes of any’
description were visible. The Senora
gave a little sigh, and said; “I should
so like to give them pretty beds! These
I owe to the kindness of Gen. Ludlow;
they ore, os you see, old army cots”—but,
said she, with a smile, “a bed used by
a American soldier is good enough for
any’ Cuban child.” She pointed out a
handsome looking-glass, in a rich frame,
apparently hanging flat against the wall,
and told us it was really’ the door of the
family safe, where valuables were con
cealed. She showed us the infirmary
where two tiny patients, wilh colds, re
joiced in the luxury of white spreads
and pillows. You know they do not use
any blankets or anything of that sort
among these people here. Then we took
a look at the bath, a great square place
excavated in the floor, and lined with
marble, a large shower-bath arranged in
the middle. You stepped down into it
and could have the water up to a child’s
waist. Behind the house there was a
garden and an orchard (?) of bananas
and cocoa-nalms, and a lively stream
went tumbling down through It. Why in
the world the children were not all play
ing in it, is a problem too difficult for an
American mamma. Then we were shown
the long tables with white oilcloth covers,
and the kitchen, dark and narrow as they
have them here, with great coppers, one
filled with soup, one with stewing meat,
and one with rice; a box of the tough
native bread stood by. They have coffee
(!) and bread in the morning, this meal
at noon, and meet again at night. If this
doesn’t upset all your dietetic principles
1 don’t know what will. No milk, of
course. The washing is done (in great
shallow tuba like milk pans), for nothing,
by a woman who was only too glad to be
allowed to live In one of the outhouses
with her children, and the cook and maid
are not much more expensive, all very
poor and very grateful for a place to
stay and something to eat. In the
patio there was quite a large
array, whose only occupants were
three pet guinea-pigs; and as we saw two
sedate curs and an invalid and aged pug
lying about, I suppose the children have
some amusement that way, though they
could not be called exactly frisky pups.
When we were ready to go, the young
sters. who had sat as quiet as mice on
the corridor all this time, assembled again
and gave us the "Red, White and Bi le”
in great style. 1 do wish you could have
heard them shout "The army and navy
forevo," and at a sharp signal from
Senora, cry “Hoo-wah! Hoo-wah; Hoo
wah!” Well, 1 didn’t know whether to
laugh or cry, it was oil so funny and so
sad. On the wall of the reception room
hung the large wreath, with floating rib
bons, which these children hung upon the
mast of the Maine last February on the
memorial anniversary. I wish I were
able to interest the people of the church
at home in this particular direction. There
is a great opportunity for the church now,
among these people, for nothing will in
duce. them to send their children to nny
educational Institution managed by priests
or sisters. The senora alms to make
these self-supporting and even the little,
boys help in the garden and the girls in
housework. I mean to go again.
—A story illustrating the democratic
simplicity of the King of Sweden and
Norway is told in the Echo do Paris by
M. Gaston Bonnier, the botanist. M. Bon
nier was botanizing near Stockholm when
he met a stranger similarly occupied. The
two fraternized, and M. Bonnier suggest
ed that they should lunch together at an
inn. "No, come home and lunch with
me, instead,” said the stranger, and he
led the way to the palace und opened the
gate. M. Bonnier was naturally aston
ished, but his new acquaintance was most
apologetic. "I’m sorry,” he said, “hue 1
happen to lie the Kin* of this country,
and this is the only place I've got to en
tertain anybody In." So they went in and
lunched and talked botany together ull

HIIL-CROKER tfi: \R REL,
Alfred Henry lewis, Gives Its Secret
History,
Alfred Henry Lewis, writing in the
Philadelphia North American, gives what
purports to be the secret history of the
Hill-Croker quarrel. It is as follows:
While one is waiting a week or a fort
night before searching for popular feel
ing as to Bryan and the Kansas City
platform, the brief story of the Croker-
Hill differehce in its course and extent
may with profit be told. It will assist one
in any New York estimate he may now or
hereafter seek to make. Asa first pro
posal, then, no one need fear harm to
Bryan as the fruit of a Hill enmity. Hill
may offer no effort to the injury of the
ticket. If he be sagacious he will not.
Should lie do so. however, he would but
waste his time. Hill could not. with the
bitterest, effort he could make, detract
from the ticket 100 votes.
Says Hill lias no Strength.
This will sound strange to ears beyond
New York. Hill has been Governor and
Senator, and one might naturally expect
him to have a following. Asa fact, how
ever, he has no strength that would ad
here to him were he to fight the party at
the polls. Hill has no personal following
as Croker has. Folk admire Hill for his
courage, his brains, his forensic genius.
They do not cling to him; do not even
trust him. Hiil is capable of much un
popularity. This is due mainly to the
fact that Hill thinks of no one but him
self, and is moved oftener of an impulse
born of his vanity and his selfishness than
of anything else.
No one walks the avenues of politics
to-day who Is better off because of Hill.
He has helped no one. This Is import
ant, at least, in New York, where most
folk are asleep or awake, are dreaming
or thinking.
Croker so far differs from Hill that
those who have benefited politically by
his friendship and his effort might for
their numbers tie mustered info a bri
gade. Even Hill is himself an exam
ple. Hill has been Governor and sena
tor, in the past, wholly and solely, by
delegates, votes, and funds that Croker
gave him. As Croker lias more than
once said, however, Hill owes him noth
ing for that. Croker did it to please and
favor Murphy, .not Hilt. Still, the whole
story of the Hill and the Croker past,
the first selfish, the other generous and
conducting his politics on a live-and-let
iive plan, offers the key to that riddle
why—locally at least—the one is so much
hated and the other so much loved.
IToker’s l end With Hill.
Croker’s feud with Kill is one of no
luge date. It will never be patched up.
it began as far away as the days of
Tweed. Hill was a favorite of Tweed's,
ran a Tweed paper in Chemung county,
and was known as “Tweed's Elmira
man.'! Croker from the. beginning was
inimical to Tweed; his day and night
enemy, and among those foremost agen
cies that brought about Tweed’s downfall
and re. cued Tammany Hall from Tweed’s
control.
From that far-off day of Tweed until
now- Hill and Croker liave never once
agreed. In their very natures they could
mg come together. Hill, alert, agile, bril
liant, shifty, full of tvord tricks, and
more apt to keep a promise In its letter
than its spirit, was precisely a figure
that Croker would first distrust and fin
ally contemn. Croker, on the other hand,
cool, steady, oakilke, with a capacity to
indomitably defend; who held his word
higher than gold, and never departed a
promise or avoided an obligation, was just
as naturally the subject of Hill's hatred.
Murphy, whose forte is peace and peace
making, and in whom Croker has bound
less confidence, has ever stood between
the other rancorous two and prevented
war.
Croker would have contented himself
with positively despising Hill as one
whose word was breakable, and who had
no gratitude—an attribute, this latter, up
on whh-h Croker in his estimates of men.
lays deepest stress—were It not for cue
guilty caper of Hill's. It was in IS!M.
Croker had resigned Ills headship of Tarn
many Hall to John C, Sheehan and gone
to England. Hiil was pleased to the point
of open glee, and rejoiced with the
thought that he had seen the last of his
stubborn enemy. Hill had the ill-grace,
riot to say the unwisdom, to Jubliare with
an Insulting ppennese.
Hill's Attack on Croker.
It was one evening when Hill was asked
to address the Democratic Club; the same
whereof three years ago Croker took pos
session and rehabilitated. The late Gov.
Flower was then the club'6 president.
“Wo have entered upon anew era.” ob
served the exultant Hill, in the course of
hits rerparks. “We have gotten rid, and I
trust forever, of those leaders who. Retting
their money. Heavens knows how. retire
from the party and the country to Ramble
it away on the English race tracks.
Croker heard of this, and his resent
ments lifted up their dangerous heads.
Croker’s is a supersensltive nature, albeit
his rugged, square-cornered outlines might
suggest different thought. it may well
be that Hill’s gratuitous and mendacious
insults had later everything to do With
bringing Croker back from England to
retake the reins of Tammany Hall. Crok
er never forgot or forgave that a Hack.
It is uppermost in his thoughts at every
glimpse he gets of Hill, and a reason for
instantly assailing him.
Croker mentioned the occurrence to Hill
a year later, and Hill, then Senator,
chanced to be in his room in a certain
New York hotel. Croker, equally by
chance, happened to be sitting in the
ho:el lobby. He had just returned from
England.
WliMt Crokr Tolil H Ink ley.
One Hlnkley, at that time a great ad
mirer and satchel-carrier of Hill’s, came
by. He was pushing breathlessly for Hill's
room to greiit him.
“Have you met the Senator?” asked
HMnkley as he paused before Croker.
'T have not,” replied Croker, “nor am
I likely to. Hill is no friend of mine.”
Then Croker, retorting to Hinkley’s ex
pressions of surprise, and with a deal of
that blunt, yet honest venom common to
him, told over the story of Hill’s attack
upon him in his absence as related above.
After Hlnkley had departed Croker be
gan to take himself to task. He should
have commenced, he thought, by saying
these hard words about Hill to Hill him
self, and not to Hlnkley. Croker deter
mined to go at once to Hill’s door. It was
opened by the rather obsequious Hlnkley.
Hill was lying on a lounge. At sight of
Croker standing m the doorway Hill
sprang effusively to his feet, and invited
him into the room with both hands.
“No,” said Croker, still in the doorway.
“I did not come up to pay you a visit. I
wanted to say to you that if you would
assail your enemies instead of your fr.ends
in yenr speeches you would have more
friends.”
“What do you mean?” demanded Hill.
"I don’t understand.”
”1 mean,” said Croker, in tones of cold
anger, “the attack you made, on me in
your speech at the Democratic Club,
when you thanked the gods the party had
gotten rid of leaders who made their
money, heaven knew* how, and then ran
over to England to gamble it away on
the race course. You said that, didn’t
you?”
Hon Hill Hesitated.
“I never named you,” retorted Hill, des
perately, not liking the corner he was in.
“Hut you meant me,” replied Croker.
Then putting the question directly: “Do
you intend to say, Hill, that you didn’t
mean me when you made that speech?”
It would have been wise and more man
ly had Hill retorted with the truth, but
he took the shifty course.
“No,” he answered with a bluster, “I
did not mean you. There are more people
than you, Croker. who have race horses,
and who go to England.”
Croker surveyed Hill with mingled con
tempt and wrath. Then he replied:
“And there arc more people than you,
Hill, who are liars and too cowardly to
stand for what they say.”
Slnoe that hour Croker has never ceased
in relentless antagonism to Hill. He has
never set eyes on Hill without verbally
attacking him. and Murphy, the peace
maker, has had all he could do to floor
manage half tranquillity between them.
However, the vendetta will not hurt Bry
an, and Hill, master of nobody, couldn't
injure the ticket if he tried, nnd prob
ably doesn't care to try. And Croker,
in supreme command, has pledged his
word and will turn over the very stones
to win this state for Bryan. The more
so, since it occurs to him that Hill will
be the first to exult over Bryan’s failure
and attribute it to him (Croker) as Its
cause.
#lB FOR HOEA WIDOWS.
Heavy Running Expenses of Yew
York’s Sympathy Fund.
From the New Y'ork Evening Post.
Sympathy with the Boers is an emotion
that has very heavy running expenses.
The sum of $1,134.38 w’as collected a few
weeks ago for the relief of the Boer wid
ows and orphans, but $l4O went for wine
and $127 for hack hire and SB7 for the band,
and the net result, according to the treas
urer's report last Saturday, is that $lB re
mains for the comfort of the widows and
orphans and the succor of a brave people
ground beneath the tyrant’s heel. W. A.
Croffut, who had promised to contribute
$35, refused to pay up when he saw the
committee's “unbusinesslike and extrava
gant methods,” and sent a draft for SSO to
Dr. Leyds instead, whereupon the treasur
er denounced him as a “kicker," which,
indeed, he was. But other sympathizers
ere beginning to demand oil accounting,
and there are all the elements of a good,
big row. They want to know whether
the managers of the fund have not .spent
too large a part of it for their own ex
penses, and they are asking questions tl at
are anything but delicate. They should
not press the matter too far. In certain
kinds of sympathizing one's expenses
should be paid. A finer quality of en
thusiasm is secured in that way. Cost of
maintenance is an important item in the
case of pro-Boers, as of automobiles, end
there must be things like that $l4O wine
bill and thet SB7 for the band, or they
would soon run down. It is übsurd to be
prying into the secret springs of sympa
thy and estimating the worth of an emo
tion in dollars and cents. The widows and
orphans will receive only $lB in material
aid, but in heart-throbs and molten ora
tory and things like that they have re
ceived a full equivalent for the whole
$1,134.38.

NOTHING LIKE IT!
There is nothing - on earth to equal “Infants’
Friend Powder.” Where it has been tried it has
taken the place of all other preparations for the
face, prickly heat, and a thousand and one uses to
which ladies put it. The baby needs nothing else.
Try nothing else for it.

From the Boston Post.
"Cape Nome needs two things during the
coming season—sanitary arrangements
and adequate harbor facilities. The rush
to the new gold fields is unprecedented,
even during lh- famous days of ’49 In Cal
ifornia,” said a Boston man Just returned
from Cape Nome. “There is no harbor
along the coast, and the ships now on their
way to the peninsula will be compelled
to drop their passengers and cargo througn
the surf. ;t somewhat dangerous business
tvlien the use of small boats is necessary.
“A Western company will, in a short
time, build a pier to extend a mile ojit into
the sea, at the. terminus of which ships
can find a safe anchorage. A narrow
gauge railway will run along this pier to
convey passengers and goods.
“The entire structure will be built at
Unaiaska, conveyed to Nome in sections
and there erected. The tnen back o( this
scheme evidently mean business, as they
are endeavoring to secure concessions
from the United States government that
will allow them longshore privileges and
the right to work the underwater section
benealh and directly alongside the pier
for whatever gold can be found. They be
lieve the gold contained In the sand under
the proposed pier will in time pay the en
tire expense of crctlon and that within a
year or so the profits derived from this
new venture will pay a large dividend to
the stockholders. The government i

Gentlemen—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend Infants’ Friend
Powder, and to give to you a singu
lar little coincident connected with it.
During the Cotton States nnd In
ternational Exposition I was presen
ted with a little box of this powder,
and was so pleased with it that 1
was exceedingly anxious to get more,
but on looking at the box 1 found
nothing but Savannah, Ga.. no other
address. I have often wished I knew
where to get it. This morning's
mail brought your circular with en
closed sample I immediately re
ferred to my box, and found it was
the Infants’ Friend Powder. It is
without doubt the best powder I have
ever used. Respectfully,
MRS. WM. KING.
endeavoring to relieve the sanitary condi
tions, but it is hardly likely that much can
be accomplished within a year or two, and
Nome will be a very much overcrowded
and unhealthy place during the coming
season.
“Instead of the excitement dying out in
Alaska It has gained. Although more than
forty steamers for Seattle have departed
loaded with treasure and passengers
since the beginning of the season’s rush,
Cape Nome is still full of sightseers and
earnest prospectors."
The estimated number of persons leav
ing Seattle for Cape Nome during the
present season Is 25,000, and it Is probable
that within the next month or two mor,
than 19,000 additional will have embarked
from the same place.
This addition to the present population
of the Cape Nome district will make Capo
Nome the most Irn|>ortant city In the Arc
tic continent.
At the present time the wharves are pil
ed high with pack outfits and curious ma
chinery for working gold.
On the streets one continually mo-’ts
men in the curious garb of the Arctic
mint r.
It is no unusual sight to see miners
wearing waistcoats with buttons made of
nuggets as large as quarters.
Games of all descriptions are running in
full blast.
The proprietor of the first big gam
bling house started in Nome told me Ms
receipts for the first night’s play was more
than $20,(J00.
Nome also hoasls among its numerous
private enterprises a first-class cafe head
ed by a French chef imported by a pro
gressive ■Englishman (who, by the way,
wa once an officer In Her Majesty’s Life
Guards). This gentleman opened up on
the plan of the "Touraino” or the “Wal
dorf-Astoria," and catered to the moat
exclusive class. Meals were served at $3
a head, and butler (to use the slang
phrase of Dock Square) was two bits
