CHARIrY's PORTION.
Judge Hilton said yesterday: "The public
and the press do not seem to understand that II
Is more charitable tofurnish IN poyme nt TO men
and women than IL Is to destroy their self-re-
spect 10y giving them money as 70 paupers. Mr..
Stewart never believed IN b-lning people TO live
without WORK. We have $500 persons on the
pay rolls OF A. I. Stewart Co.. aud think that
l will best carry out Mr.. Stewards views, and be
practically charitable 10y maintaing the business

Die employment, 40 hatthey c N SUPPORT then

upon them. a. Il. Stewart was my dear and in
Innate friend. HIS money was Of no conse

Many begging letters are still addressed to Mr.
