Feeding the Poor of London-A Good
Suggestion to the Charitable.

scientific Americana
There is an organization in London for
furnishing poor children with dinner for
q penny e cents; and from a recent pub
lished report it seems to have proved
successful experiment in a pecuniary as
well as benefcent sense; SO much so, in
fact, that another society has undertaken
to furnish dinners to poor children in the
poorest and most populOus part of
London for half a penny. 1t IS said that
the children who take their meals at the
penny establishment show a marked i'm
prOvement in health, are more regular In
attendance at school, and accomplish bet
ter work in their studies than when they
commenced their new regimen. 1t may
interest philanthropists who are engaged
in ameliorating the condition of the poor
in our large cities, to know the materials
of which these dinners are composed

milk are used in moderate quantity.
From the report just made it is calcu-

or fifteen ounces of soup or other kind of
nutriment each meal, and this quantity
contains from one to one and half ounces
of meat The children enjoy their din

London and New York, it is not surpris

better, learn more at school, and are hap

The last experiment of furnishing .
halfpenny dinner for the very poorest
children from the most squalid parts Of
London has not been established long
enough to determine if the receipts will
meet the expenses, but it promises well,
and the supporters of the Enterprise are
confident that it will nearly pay its way.
As many as BOB children were fed on
the first day; the number has to average
about 566. A choice within certain
limit is given, and care is taken to make
the food agreeable and wholesome. The
first course consists of a rich stew or
bacon sandwiches, the second of bread
and jam or bread and cheese That the
children find the dinner ample to satisfy
their hunger is shown by the fact of their
continued attendance and the little waste
made. 1t is demonstrated that, with the
cooks wages, cost of gas and implements
excepted, there is no loss, and that they
can be made self-supporting.

BosToN, Mass, March I7.-Roofs and

three assistants at an early hour in the
morning began preparations to take OBJ

seconds later than the time
computed by Robert Treat Paine.
At the time of the greatest observation
the moon covered little over fiye-ninths
of the suns surface. At twelve minutes
past three the eclipse ended. This was
the last annular eclipse that will occur IN
the present century. The next eclipse

of the sun in the Atlantic States will
occur in the forenoon May ZOIn, 1SOO.
The moons shadow will then pass from
New Orleans to Norfolk and thence
across the ocean to Europe.
CINCINNATI, o., March 17.-Prof. f. j.
Porter, the astronomer at Mt. Lookout

the time of initial contact of the moons

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 18.-When
John L. Sullivan got up at the Girard
House yesterday morning, he went inn
mediately to breakfast, and walked TO the
Chestnut street bridge with his trainer.

remarked to Sheppard that he felt as
strong as an OK. After dinner he went
with his trainer to Egyptian Hall,
where a magician named Kellar
was giving matinee in presti-
digititation and spiritualstic tricks
in the cabinet. When ne began his cabi-
net tricks he invited a committee upon
the stage to tie him. There were shouts
for Sullivan, who went upon the plat
form with Sheppard. They used piece
of rope similar to bell cord used upon
railroad ears to signal the engineer. The
slugger took hold of one end and Shep-
pard the other. In tying the mans
right wrist they broke the rope. new
rope was obtained, and the Professor was
finally tied. sullivan was then invited
into the cabinet.

The irish Nationalist Leader Gets the HUns0
Of Commons In Corner and Makes
Decided Point.
LONDON, March ls.-Last evening Mr..
Parnen arose in his place in the House of
Commons when the Government called
for the vote in the civil service supply,
and arrested the vote 6y demanding that
the Government keep their promise to in
troduce the bill for a triennial re istribu-
tion of Irish constabulary according to
the pledge given Irish members last Au-
gust. The Irish leader was very de-
termined, and his guarded announcement
took the House by surprise. 1t was
the first authoritative announcement
that a bargain had been
made by the Government with the Ma
tiOnalists during the franchise and re-
distribution contests last summer, and a
long debate ensued as to whether or not
the alleged pledge had ever been given.
Mr.. Parnell declared that not only had
the pledge been given, but the Govern
ment had also guaranteed that the prom
ised measure would be so managed in the
House as to be non-contentious.
Henry Bannerman, Chief Secretary for
ireland, managed the debate for he Gov
ernment in a most cautious and dexter
Gus way. lie concluded 1t by saying that
the Government had not the same recOl-
lection of what transpired last August as
that Indicated by Mr.. ParneIl, but that if
it appeared that the Nationalist members
were sincere and possessed a strong con-
Viction that such pledge as
was claimed had really been
given by the Government, the Govern
ment felt in honor bound to defer to the
Parnellites' understanding, and would
act upon the supposition that the Par
nellites were right, although ''we disa-
gree with their view as to what took
place last August"
satisfactory, and allowed the vote to pro-
ceed, and the House adjourned at $50
