communicashun, said the president as
the meeting opened:
Bro Gardner-Several Of your friends desire
to know how you stand on the question of
charity this fail. Does the club propose to de-
nate anything to local charity this fall
hssD foUR FRIENDS.
GAS to de fust query said the pres
ident, as he drew himself up, de answer
dat I have heretofore given mns' stnnd
fur1dn answer now De charity Of De-
troit has bred race of beggars who
will nebber leave us. 1t has added to
de loaferism an encouraged de idleness
an gineral shiftlessness. It has said to
de heads of families: Idle de sum-
mer away an you shall be supported
durin' de winter! Go ask de Poo super
intendent if de same person doan' re-
turn y ar after ar. Ask him if men
an women have not come to look upon
a poo fund as der right, an if dey
doan' demand DER allowance, instead
of asking for it. Charity filled de ken
try wild tramps. When charity tried to
undo its work de tramps began to burn
barns an murder women an chile en-.
Charity has encouraged q drove Of 500
beggar chill'en to march up an down
cherry resident street. It has wasted
its tears upon brutes of men an it's
prayers upon hardened women, an it's
money has gone to feed people so vile
an wicked dat states prison ached to
receive 'em.''
Gas to de second query, dar, am \
poo ole man libin' mex doah to Sir
Isaac Walpole. Who has paid his rent
for months past? Charity? No, gem
len; charity neber h'ars of anybody
but a bold-faced beggar. Our friend,
heah, Sir Isaac, has not only kept de
roof ODER de ole mans head, but has
furnished him many meal to eat.
''Up on Grove street, near de cabin
of Waydown Bebee, am poo ole wo-
man dat has gone blind. Brudder Be-
bee an odder members has Clipped in
to take car oh her, an whateber she
has had de pas summer or has got now
am due to DER kindness. Town charity
hasn't diskibered her yet.
Cup on Scott street, clus to de cabin
of Whalebone Howker, dar was death
de odder day an two chill'en war left
alone in de world. Charity left 'em
alone in de house until de landlord
turned 'em into de street, den charity
walked off an Brudder Howker took
de orphans home an will keep 'em frew
de winter.
sup my way dar am a sick man who
wants medicines-a boy wild a broken
leg who wants nourishin' food-a wo-
man who has had a long run of fever
widout ner rent fallin' behind or her
chill'en goin' hungry. Let de cry of
distress come to Pickles Smith, Judge
Cadaver, Samuel Shin, Rev. Penstock or
any odder member who kin spare from
his purse OF his table, jan it am prompt
ly answered. We know our nayburs
an we am maturity. We found no hos
pitfalls establish no beggas' headquar-
tiers, an issue no call fur odder cities to
send in DER paupers to be supported,
but our naybur finds us at his sick-bed,
an misfortune finds our purses open.
He who has charity in his heart need
not gos huntin' fur de poo to relieve
an fur reporters to puff DER gifts.
CHARITY dat rides aroun' town on a TO-
boss wagon will see y workin man
starve an feed a loafer who has spent
half his summer in de saloons. Let us
drap de subjick an proceed to biz
ness. "--Detroit Free Press
The dime museums have many curios-
tiles; but we have failed to find among
them a railroad official VINO could tell
you at what time the next train starts.
In 1866 the best railroad time be-
tween New York and New Orleans was
five days, and a passenger had to make
nine changes, many of them long rides
from depot TO depot. In 1869 the time
was reduced to four days; in 1873 to
three and a halt days; and in 1873 to
three days and only one change. Now
the time has been reduced to tfty-eight
hours.
Illiteracy has increased in Maine,
New Hampshire, Nevada and Califor-
MIA, and decreased in Georgia, Missis-
sipp, North Carolina, Tennessee and
Virginia in the last ten years.
