THE FREE KINDERGARTEN.

Professor Felix Adler having returned from his
summer vacation in the Adirondacks called
upon yesterday by HERALD reporter and questioned
concerning the prospects Of his kindergarten. lie
said:-"The experiment of free kindergarten for
the children OF the poor instituted by the Society
for Ethical Culture nearly two years ago. has proved
an eminent success. At the beginning of this month
We found ourselves with twenty children ready to
graduate from our kindergarten and became neces
sary to take immediate steps toward realizing
'artizans school" Lack of means, however, was the
obstacle in way. But few days ago dependency
WAS changed into gladness when received word
from Mr.. Joseph Seligman that the fuliment of our
favorite plans should not be hindered for want of
pecuniary support. gift OF $4,000 accompanied
this assurance. and aided by this noble endowment
we shall be able at to move forward to the
enlargement of our work. The society has rented o
now and spacious building on the corner of Forty
fifth street and Broadway, whero the kindergarten
and artisan school will hereafter be located. 1t may
be noticed that the benefits OF the kindergarten.
as we'll as of our District Nursing Department IAN
other charity of the society," have hitherto accrued
mainly to orthodox Christians.

FOUND IN HIS POSSESSION.

Paulna Schlarbaum in the Tombs Court yester-
day said that Patrick Ftzgibbons had robbed her Of
her pocketbook. containing $25 while she was CON-
ing from Clifton Staten Island to this city the
steamboat Middletown. When the boat arrived at
the Battery she caused the old mans
arrest. He protested that he did not have
the pocketbook, but when he searched 1t
found in his possession. The aged prisoner,
greatly excited said to the Justice that he had found
the pocketbook upon the deck. He had denied hav-
ing 1t because he wished to have the owner adver-
tise for its return. person present in
court assured the magistrate that the prisoner was
well known resident of the First ward, and that his
daughters were teachers in the Greenwich Street
Public School. Justice Morgan inclined to dis
believe the old story but discharged him after
telling him he had q narrow escape from being held
for trial.
