THE PLEA OF THE POOR.

To THE EpITon OF THE HEEALp:-
As a poor occupant of decent tenement house, tho
writer Graves your kindness In permitting him to
utter his protest against tho unjust romarks made by
some Of the speakers at the late meeting at tho
Cooper Union Hall for tho consideration of improv-
ing tenement houses. There was ono speaker. pro-
fcsed minister of the Gospel of the meek and lowly
Jesus whose hc ministers s. well filled out body and
sleek face and spotlcss Enon showed that he knew
practically little OF the shifts to which poverty is
driven In its battle TO keep alive. lie spoke OF tho
occupants of tenement houses as though many of
them were Incorporate, vicious. to, worthless, &c.
Well, If this ia so. what makes them prone Ao such
courses? What makes people live In tenement
the strong ana better organized in brain
and skilled in the grab gamo OF life,
little or no work, and social drawing TO others
similarly situated. Let the reverend doctors aud all
protesting Christians Practise their Masters
ders--naniely. Love your noighbor as yourself
which would lead them to give us work and just
wages and treat icd's creatures and the writer
believes nearly all tho miserable tenement houses
would be deserted: Tor do these gentlemen believe
that we would live in such wrctclcd houses If We
could live in better? No, gentlemen, we would not
patronise the grasping, mammon-scrvngs landlords
II is strange that not of the speakers had tho
sense and the courage to proclaim this plan for
doing away with olal dcbasing vice breeding tene-
mcnt houses. One gentleman, Dr. Pottcr-liod bless
m!-hit tho nail almost square the head when
nc said I've want to lift up not only tho
tenement houses. but the tenement house occupants;
we want to begin with personal. hand TO hand and
heart to heart contact and here each OF US has
duty" Yes, let all touch our hearts, especially they
that profess to believe in jesus Christ the great.
peaceful harmonic, rcconsructive being who shared
his purse with his disciples in common, wiped tho
feet OF his lowlost followers and said TO his Heav-
cnly Father, IAN mine are thine and all thine
mnc''-et them practise the great pivotal and all
com prising summation of the Gospel, supreme love
to God and equal love to ones ncighbor and treat
MS accordingly and they would witness such
nm exodus from all "black hole" pcst-brecling
tenement houses would strike the owners Of these
rookcrics with dreadful disay lead hoin out Of
moro financial interest. to "sell OUT or pull down
and build proper houses. In reading the morning
issues of the city press to-day the writer is struck
with the significant fact that tho NEw YoRK HERALD
docs not like many of its contemporaries, tone down
the reports in such way as to suppress what might
reflect adversely upon the so-called upper classes
Thank God there is one city journal that does not
ignore the poor and his interests. for In tho
HRnALp the cry of the poor Is heard as we'll the
voice of the rich. W. u, II.

KATE CLAYTON ROBBED.


From the Louisville Courier-J ournal. March l21
Another episode has been added TO Kate Ciaxtons
eyentfui history which. in respects is rather
ludicrous one. although it attended with con-
siderable loss TO the fair actress and her husband.
Mr.. G. W. Stevenson. the leading in the play OF
Double Marriage. which is being enacted at Macau-
leys this week. Miss Claxtons dressing is situ-
aed on the right OF the stage. and has window opeu
ing into the yard Of Mr.. Macauleys house II not
exactly diamond robbery but doubtless the thieves
intended it for SUCH At the end of the third act last
night. about half past nine O'Clock. Miss Caxton
tered her dressing room and discovered that her
satchel was missing. 1t contained pair of gold
rings worth $40. gold pencil worth S15 and $40
in money. 1t thought at first by Miss
claxton that the satchel had probably been
misplaced and that she would find IL tho
end of the play. When the play
Guided MIR. Stevenson entered the dressing to
don his street apparel He searched the rooms for
his pantaloons. but failed to find them He then
turned his attention in the direction OF his under
clothing and shirt, These also missing Be-
coming considerably annoyed. although. he said,
''it was very funny" he looked out OF the window,
and TO his astonishncnt. large wooden box
just below the window. The window is about six
feet from the ground, and of easy access by
means OF the box. The loss to Miss Claxton and her
husband Will not exceed $50. In Mr.. Stevensons
cuffs were pair OF large solid gold sleeve buttons.
with his monogram engraved ON them. They wera
valued at $50.

Mrs. Bacciealupo who was so atrocously and
brutay stabbed by her husband last night with in
tent to murder. still survives. though without hope
OF recovery. The eleven wounds she received were
stanched, but it is scarcely possible that the most
careful medical attention her, as several OF
the stabs considered fatal The attempted muir
der creates the most intense excitement among the
italian residents of the city. among whom both the
parties well known.
DETAILS OF THE sTABBISG.
1t has transpired to-day that the motive of
Baccigalupo. who had married the woman two
weeks ago. was to quietly rid himself of her and at
the same time obtain possession of her money and
property, amounting to some few thousand dollars.
In order TO accomplish this design he bought
ticket TO Washington and announced to his wife that
he was going to Illinois, to- be absent for four
months. He took his baggage and left by the morn
ing train, but upon reaching Milford, sixty miles
from here. he got of and returned late in the
ing by freight train.
MURDERoUs ATTACK.
Upon arriving he went secretly. to the store de-
coyed his wife out down the street and around the
corner to dark recess the canal basin bank.
where he made the murderous attack already de-
Scrlbed in the HERALD. He attempted to throw the
unfortunate woman into the canal after stabbing
her, but did not succeed and he forced to jump
in and swim to the opposite bank himself in the effort
emerged from the water. His object, only thus
partially carried out to leave town he did,
publicly. come back secretly. kill his wife, go of
again and then return again when he heard OF her
murder. and thus avert suspicion from himself.
The greatest excitement prevails, and numerous
pressions OF desire to lynch him have been made.
