Practical Philanthropy.


A block distant from Gotham court,
Miss Ellen Collins, a benevolent Quaker
lady. has six four-story tenements, for
merly occupied in part for improper
purposes, and by a little expenditure
and the exercise of good judgment has
made them comfortably sanitary and
profitable TO the extent of yielding an
income of per cent. per annum:
Paint, kalsomine, gas, water and good
plumbing have transformed what were
dismal dens of vice into salubrious
homes. The old outhouses have been
removed and the yard space for the sew
eral buildings converted into cheerful
garden with an area of about 2, 200
square feet. The doorways to three
houses have been changed to windows
and entrance is only had through the
yard A neat iron stairway leads from
the outside to the rear of the second
floors.
Of the total annual rental of 81, $50
collected up to May, 1884, the entire
loss through non payment was $2.52.
The rooms are never vacant for any
length of time, but are in constant de-
mand. The rents are so low that the
poorest can be accommodated. Two
room apartments can be had as low as
50 per month, and three-room apart
ments at 81. so and $3.50. Drinking
and fighting are no longer known. In
two years and nine months, among the
ia inmates in three of Miss Collins
houses, there were only twelve deaths,
or but little more than have been re-
ported in single year from one Baxter
street rookery with no more population
than in all of these houses. This is the
bright side of the picture and shows
what can be done by quiet energy, per.
sistency and faith to improve existing
tenements in the worst sections of the
city.

Glad to See Both.

A slim youth, accompanied by pug
dog and chain attachment, met a
young lady on Fifth avenue whom he
knew.
He walked by her side until her resi-
denee was gained, when she invited
him in.
"Aw-thawnks awfully; much pleased
I'm suah, he said; but -er-the dog,

'.Oh. the dog won't make the slightest
difference. Dear little fellow Mamma
will be glad to see you both.

The man who refuses to work at low

willing to work at any wages. Dull

those who will not work except when
they please, how they please, and at

B. and O.'s Policy Unchanged.

AUTHORIZED CONTRADICTIONS OF REPORTED ARRANGE
MENTS WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA.
From the Baltimore Sun, To-day.
The statements and counter-statements con-
cerning negotiations between the Baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania railroad companies for
an arrangement by which the Baltimore and Ohio
would Use portion of the tracks of the Pennsyl-
| vania corporation continue to be leading topic
In financial and railroad circles. The Baltimore
and Ohio interest until yesterday had nothing to
say beyond merely Oracular utteranaeS that were
not satisfying because indefinite. Philadelphia
has been all along the center from which the re-
ports emanated, and the situation there has
seemed to change several times The latest state
ment was made by the Philadelphia Press
OF yesterday to the effect that previous
propositions made to the Baltimore and Ohio had
not met with the approval OF that company, and
that the Pennsylvania Will make new offer, which
will include proposal for both companies TO
Pennsylvania to build the Arthur Kill bridge The
Press further says: "The Jersey Central has been
! completely deserted by the Reading company. 1t
Is affirmed on good authority that Mr.. COrbin
much prefers harmonious relations with the Penn
sylvanfa Railroad company to conjectural profits
from the traffic arrangement with the Baltimore
and Ohio and as 1t is probable that the Pennsyl-
yania will demand the abrogation OF this contract
as the price OF peace the contract is likely TO cease
to be. In this case the Baltimore and Ohio would
use the Pennsylyania'S tracks for most OF its New
York freight traffic and all its passenger business.
From an undOubted authority on The Baltimore
and Ohio side the position which that assumes is
given now with directneSS that can hardly be
misunderstood The points are as follows:
First. II is denied that there is any idea on the
part Of the Baltimore and Ohio OF abandoning its
purpose to have an Independent line TO New York.
Second. The Baltimore and Ohio believes that its
contract with the Reading is binding and effective,
and this includes the arrangement for the use OF
the Reading and Jersey Central tracks between
Philadelphia and New York.
Third. In the event OF any possible interruption
OF these arrangements an Independent line win be
built from Philadelphia to Staten Island. There
viii be no lack of money to push it, and to that
end large fund is already in existence.
Fourth. The Baltimore and Ohio Will not permit
itself TO be forced to use the tracks OF the Pennsy
vania railroad, known as the United railroads OF
New Jersey, between Philadelphia and New York
Fifth. The Baltimore and Ohio Will continue to
recognize the claims OF the public to have the
advantages of fair railroad competition. 1t Will
keep its promises to them that the Baltimore and
Ohio Will establish a line between Baltimore and
New York that will be as Independent as its line
between Washington and Baltimore.

HER CANADIAN LOVER BECOMES SUSPICIOUS WHEN

HER CANADIAN LOVER BECOMES SUSPICIOUS WHEN
SHE CALLS FOR CASH.
An Ottawa special TO the Boston Globe says:
Early last spring young woman known as Miss
Ella De Lisle, and who gave her residence as CON-
monwealth avenue, Boston, made a visit TO an old
school friend In Ottawa, the wife OF a prominent
government contractor, whose family moves in
the highest social circles. The two friends had
not met nor heard OF each other since they were
schoolmates in the ladies' seminary at Newbury,
VI, nearly ten years before The visitor was about
thirty years OF age, handsome, and a brilliant
talker. Every door In the city, including the
governor generals was open TO her, and the
supposedly rich young American beauty be-
came society queen. Among her admirers
clan OF high standing IL was a case OF love at
first sight on his part, and she seemed TO return
his passion. After her return to Boston the two
correSp0nded until two months ago. when she
revisited Ottawa. They became engaged, and
Christmas eve was fixed upon for the wedding.
Some OF the young mans friends felt that he knew
too little about the lady's past and gossips limited
that her relations with certain cabinet minister
challenged investigation. But the man was wildly
In love. His gifts OF diamonds, etc., aggregated
81 200 in value, and he signed marriage contract
absolutely settling upon his charner 5000 cash
deposited In a city bank. Last week Miss De
LfSle returned home to prepare for her nuptialS.
On Wednesday sight draft for 81 800 in favor
OF Miss De Lsle was received from New York at
the bank here, and paid. A letter from Miss De
she was in New York with her father to buy
dresses, etc; that her father was in trouble
financially; that she had drawn the money for his
use, and that the amount would be repaid when
she and 'Harry" met. The suspicious Of "Harry's'
father were aroused. He telegraphed to Boston
for information OF Miss DE Lsle, and has just re-
ceived reply stating that the lady does not live
at the address she gave; that she was formerly a
society belle In small New York city, and that
years ago she was married to a wealthy Boston
business man. The young man knows at this
moment that he has been duped. An attachment
has been placed on the money in the bank, and so
the matter rests The father OF the gentleman
left for Boston last evening.

From the New York Star, November 90.
The elopement OF Miss Minnie j. Newman, OF
White Plains, in January, 1885, with James ID.
Fiske Philadelphia lawyer, has been revived by
some strange information, which has just been re-
ceived from California concerning the pair. Mrs.

she ran away with Ffske. She was very handsome
After the eiOpement they were next heard from
in Philadelphia. Mrs. Newman received a card
from the Continental hotel announcing the mar
riage OF her daughter with Fiske and stating that
the Continental hotel. The letter announced that
they would be absent in Europe until that date.
They were next seen I'm Chicago on State street by
an acquaintance OF Mrs Newman. Since this time
nothing has been heard OF them in White Plains
until yesterday, when letter was received from
BroctOn, Mass, which was dated San Francisco,

A BUSINESS MAN ACHIEVES SUCCESS, MEETS REvERsRs

A telegram from Scranton, Pa, November %,
says: Thomas NJ. BeelS was one OF the brightest
young business men OF this city a few years ago..
He was in the grain trade, and proSpered. He
went to Philadelphia and became member OF the
firm OF Hancock. Grier & Co., then he married into
the family OF Mr. Enoch Page, OF this city. After
wards the Philadelphia firm dissolved. and Beels
went to Buffalo, where he continued i'm the grain
business and established agencies I'm various
cities. He became wealthy, but short time ago
he sustained reverSeS. His mind then became un-
settled His vagaries In Buffalo were marked
that II was decided TO bring him to the city. This
step was taken I'm the hope that his removal from
the scenes OF his business life would turn his mind
away from the immense projects that he laid out.
to hold a reunion OF the Page family In Scranton,
and he was invited to attend II. He came on a
few days ago. His Old QuickneSS OF manner still
existed, but he was so Eighty that his friends
quickly recognized that his mental faculties were
impaired.
Yesterday he went to q newspaper Office and
told long, detailed story OF the intended family
reunion. 1t was printed, and BeelS went about
town inviting all OF his acquaintances TO the affair."
BeelS also told people who met him that he was
from business. He had practiced telegraphy TO a
slight extent, and hurried into the Western Union
telegraph Office nearly every hour since he came
here. He opened the keys and pounded away until
he interfered with the business SO much that the
operators had TO switch off the wires on which he
was working; consequently the kilograms that he
sent did not go out OF the Office, but he worked

ONE LAW FOR THE RICH AND ANOTHER FOR THE POOR.
lively sensation was created I'm Richmond,
Saturday morning, by an editorial article in the
Wing (democratic) charging that there is a law
for the rich man and another for the poor man in
that state. The poor man is promptly tried for
violation OF law, convicted and sent to prison.
The rich man is rarely arrested when charged
with crime, but skips the country and no detective
is sent for him.
