A Successful System of Char.
.Jt ties

The system of charities inaugurated
by the city of Providence year and a
half ago has met with a success worthy
OF note The projectors aimed at pro-
viding for destitute women and children,
compelling station-house dodgers to work,
furnishing employment for needy city
residents and enabling every man to
procure a meal by working for it. They
claimed that they could reduce the city's
poor expenses, separate the worthy from
the uaworthy poor, greatly decrease the
number of tramp visitors, drive away
the worst class of tramps and diminish
public begging and the results have
made good every claim. A charity
building was opened in May, 1878,
where destitute women and children,
found in the city, could receive food and
lodging until other provision was made
for them. Applicants for charity were
aided if the family had no able.dodied
male members to support them. If
there were men in the family and they
were out of work, they were given an
opportunity to earn fifty cents day in
the city wood yard, established for Just
such cases. This was blow against
unworthy families who had been aidedby
the city for years, and they dropped out
of the charity commissioners sight, while
begging has decreased greatly Tramps
began to give the city wide berth, for
they had to pay for their lodgings and
meals with work in the wood yard, and
the station-house dodgers from May l.,
1879, numbered only 2,479, against
9,425 for the year just preceding, Those
who did visit the city were of the better
class, too, and the city has been remark
ably free from the crimes of tramps.
The new system has also been one of
economy, the expenditures for outdoor
and indoor relief from May |, 1878, to
May |, 1879, being $l3,240, against
$40, l44 for outdoor relief alone during
the preceding twelve months. In the
wood yard 270 residents and 1000
tramps have been employed the city
has paid 1851 for its support, and
$40, l4S worth of wood has been sold, 50
Il is branch Of charity has practically
paid for itself The city recognizes the
success Of the scheme, and as improve
ments are suggested by experience they
are made. Springfield Republican.

SquandeTing a Fortune.

Mrs. Tylney-Long, whose personality
was lately sworn in England under
S6OO,0OO, was half sister of the greatest
heiress of her day, Mrs Wellesley Pole,
who owned Wanstead Hall, in Essex,
which, up to 1922, was one of the finest
houses in England. The Queens uncle,
the Duke of Sussex, proposed to marry
her, but was refused, and she gave her
hand to Mr.. Wellesley Pole, son Of the
Duke of Wellingtons second brother.
Within few years he Squandered all
her property on which he could lay
hands, and her home was the scene Of
an auction which lasted a month, after
which the house, which had cost 5 ,500,-
900, was razed to the ground, and the
gardens were ploughed up. The site of
Wanstead can now hardly be traced.
Mr.. w. Pole subsequently became Earl
of Mornington, and survived his wife
some twenty-five years, an object of con-
tempt to every one, and supported by a
small pension from the Duke of Yelling
ton. His second wife often applied for
charity from the police magistrates.

The New Irish Revolution

England has Frequently of late, es.
pecIally with regard to Ireland, behaved
as the .man who boasted that his dog
would do anything he was bld, and when
the animal sneaked under the table in
response to command to go out,
added, swell, 90 under the table, then. y
Thus England, finding herself unable to
control the spirits of opposition which
she has raised bv her stubborn resistance
to the tone OF the age and by her errors
OF administration compels her depend
aur, to obey her by commanding them
to dc that which she forSees they will do
under any circumstances. She has been
trying to make the best of somewhat un-
favorable events in Europe, Asia, Africa
and America, and like the accredited
journalistic organ of the government in
London, phrophesies or prepares for,
with much pompousness ana by learned
legislation, that which everyone knows
all about, and which has already begun
to happen, The law against popular con
ventions in Ireland was repealed. Whyl
Because it was found impossible, except
by violent military suppression, to pre-
vent popular conventions, and anything
resembling tyranny will not be allowed
nowadays .... ...,
a convention will probably be held in
lr-sland in the anti-rent interest, and in
response to the agitation of Mr.. Parnel,
the most popular politician in Ireland
and the leader of the ultra home rulers.
If this convention should result in a
fimer organization of the disatitcted,
and the contagion should spread through
out the country, the two horns of the di-
lemma that would then be presented for
England's choice would be submission
and civil war. The farmers seem to
have right on their side in great meas
ure, for thev really cannot pay their
rents on account of poor harvests, and
they insist on remaining on their lands
rent free for the present, and consider
that tleir privilege. They are deter
mined to cling to their homesteads at
any cost If the landlords then insist
on payment of rent, and failing in that
attempt a wholesale eviction, the armed
front which the peasantry will present,
will leave nothing 60 be done but fight
1t does not matter whether Mr.. ParnelI
succeeds in his scheme or not The ex-
listing temper of the Irish people is I'M
changeabe, and is not to be appeased by
few good haryests here or there, as the
London Times seems to think. The ha-
tired of oppression, agrarian, civil or
military, is so deeply rooted in the Irish
nature that it is sure to find vent on
sufficient occasion, and there seems no
remedy for the present or prevention for
the prospective connections, except
wiser and more popular laws for Ireland
than England is in the habit of max n :.

Notwithstanding increased supplies. ac-
uylty and excitement in The market pre-

favored sellers shilling to shilling six
pence per quarter.

Horrible Death.

NAPA, Oct. 20.-Lasts night d. B. Hove, a
native of Virginia, aged AZ Years, came to
his death at the Napa insane asylu.., by
being scalded in bath tub during the tenn
porary absence of the attendant in charge.
The attendant having been Obliged to give
Hove washing, called to his assistance two
inmates who are in the habit of helping the
attendants. When Hove was nearly stripped
of clothing the attendant heard an outcry IN
a room near by, when he rushed out, leaving
deceased with two inmates and the tub partly
filed with tepid water. Az soon as he went
out, the two men turned on the boiling
water, stripped off Hove's clothing and put
him in the tub. Here he was found n mo-
ment after by the attendant, who took him
out fearfullS scalded in the back and sides,
the skin peeling off. He lived four and a
half hours. The coroner jury attached no
blame to the attendant or officers of the
asylum. ."' "l-

An Advertising Fiend.

An UNIQUE incident occurred at Bald.
wins theatre the other evening. which
was not down in the bills, and which
sharply illustrates the proverbial push
and Ingenuity Of certain San Francisco
advertisers. 1t appears that the adver-
Using agent Of a well known kearney
street auction house had engaged one
of the upper stage boxes for Thursday
evening, and n few minutes after the
doors opened the ushers were paralyzed
at beholding a large canvas transpar-
ency being expeditiously and quietly
erected in said box, and bearing on its
surface in two-foot letters, the familiar
legend, cry Gufiey's Condensed
Chowder!" They at once hurried to the
box and begged the occupant to desist.
That enterprising Individual simply
shrugged his shoulders and went calmly
on lighting a tspers for its illumina-
ton. The manager himself rushed
breathlessly to the spot and ordered
the agent to leave the house.
Not if | know it," replied that in
dividual, c%heerfully, 81 paid $40 rent
for this box until II o'clock, and | in
tend to do what l please with 1t, bet
your life"
In vain the manager stormed, plead
ed and offered to return the money-to
pay twice the sum, even. At last, as the
audience begun to gather, he ordered
the ushers to remove the sign by force
AT this the agent deliberately drew his
revolver, and, backing the whole crowd
out OF the box locked the door. In this
emergency a coupe was dispatched for
the mans principal, Mr.. Guffey, who
arrived in a few moments post haste.
He vas hugely amused at his employees
persistency, and at once ordered the re-
moval of the bone of contention. As
the much disguised advertiser struck
his tent, a bright idea illuminated his
Hooking visage. Taking
Mr.. Gutfev aside, he said, eagerly:
We'll, if Eve got to quit, wouldn't it
be better to have them put me out by
forct?"
"Why sol?
Because, you see, that would make
it a splendid assault and battery case.
Be in all the morning papers. Mag

But it wa not to be, and the cham
pion advertiser furled his banner, and
sadly filed out to slow music by the
orchestra.-Sdn Francisco Post.

piled that the gentleman he spoke of
