Henry Bergh, the friend of dumb
animals, who died few weeks since in
New York city, left liberal portion of
his fortune to carry on the good work to
which he had devoted wears of earnest
effort. lie empowered his nephew to con-
tinuc in the course which death compelled
him to leave behind him. Henry Rergh
the second has been in the service of the
society founded by his uncle for eighteen
years, most of the time as its secretary.
He therefore knows its workings thorough
ly, and is probably better qualified than
any other man to carry on the society. 1t
is earnestly to be hoped that he may have
health and long life, and that the line of
Henry Bergh may long continue. The
humanity of men leads to humanizing
conduct towards dumb creatures, and a
steady increase of humane men and women
tends to enrich the land in real civilization.

For twelve long years have been re-
peated in every possible form the lies
about the failing health of Mr.. Blaine.
Yet in those twelve years he has performed
the work of two strong men, and
should not give the vigor of man

him in the twelve years to come. His

absurd stories as to his health, though
they do not harm him whom they are

TO HELP THE POOR.
The Meeting Saturday Night-COmmis-
sioner Webb TO Appoint q Commissee.

There was a small attendance at the meeting
called by the Commissioners for Saturday night at
Willard Hall TO devise means for relieving the SUI
fering among the poor Of the city, This small at
tendance however had its advantages as bust
ness was dispatched rapidly. Commissioner Webb,
Judge Smell, II. Ross Perry. l. S. Emery, VIM.
Pierce Bell, and Rev. Sam Small were among those
present. Commissioner Webb called the meeting
TO order and explained its objects
GAS you KNOW he said, "we have a fund
amounting to SIS, 900 for charitable purposes all
Of which The Commissioners apporton to the va
rous charitable Institutions except 81 500, which
We put In the hands or the police TO relieve any
suffering which may come under their notice.
Regarding the way the latter expend this money
4 must say that they do more good with IL than
could possibly be done through any other agency,
and until recently they have been able TO relieve
come IN contact witch. Now, however, unfortu-
natey, their fund Is entirely expended, and the
suffering which was formerly relieved cannot be
helped, and Is increasing to an appalling degree
We can really have no idea OF the amount OF sur
fering that actually exists In this CITY, The police
report every day new instances OF extreme deSti-
tutlon, and hundreds OF poor women and children,
and those rendered helpless by age, are suffering
all the pain incident to starvation and exposure
10 the cold IL was In order that something might
be done TO alleviate that state that took It upon
myself 10 call this meeting, and had hoped TO see
a larger attendance"
Mr.. W. Pierce Bell was chosen to act as secre-
tary. Upon motion OF Mr.. Perry, the chairman,
Commissioner Webb, was authorized to appoint a
committee OF twenty-five to solicit subscriptions,
TO be placed in the hands OF the police.
Mr.. Emery, as secretary OF the Associated ChaIi-
ties, rendered the services of that organization.
Rev. sam small started a subscription IN the
hall by putting his name down for So. Commits
had contributed 500. Messrs. Webb and Perry
subscribed each SIS.
last night, appropriated SIS, TO be placed in the
hands OF Major Moore for the benefit OF the poor.
