San Francisco, March 7th.-Now that
Milton S. Latham is dead, the bonds of
secrecy relative to many of his charitable
deeds are broken. During his residence in
this city, and so long as he was in sffiuent
circumstances, he sent annually check for
$500 or $1,000 TO Rev. DR.. Lathrop, then
rector of Church of the Advent, for distribu,
ton among the poor of the parish. He would
frequently outline the manner in which he
desired the morey to be distributed, but those
who received it were not to be informed of
the source whence it came. These voluntary
donations continued year after year, until
adversiiY overlook him, when he expressed
his regret in a very touching manner of his
utter inability to perform this self-imposed
task. n -e,re,- - s.eRysa 4yzs
