6 PHILANTHROPY IN < l B V. A Vtalt lo thr “ColoEto Bfnfffnc)" at 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. “FREE TREATMENT FREE SAMPLES.” A ’’String” Ik Attached to These "Generom" Offers—the I I||. mate Col la I.eaa and Results Certain When Yon Are Treated by Hr.

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 the afternoon. THE MOKNING NEWS: THURSDAY. JULY 12, 1900. 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. liHAMA MAY’ IDENTIFY HIM.

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 (twenty-five cents) a side This, however, did not last long, as an American started up opposite him, end sold ham and egg s with beans on the side for a buck ($1), Ocean SiMtistiio Ga —FOR IVEew York, Boston —AND— THE EAST.
