Something About Begging Letters.

Mr.. Childs gets about 200 begging letters
every day, and the mail of this kind which is
received by our rich men daily would con-
sumo the supply Of a large paper factory.
This letter will start the beggars all over the
country to writing letters to the charitable
men mentioned in it, and have been told by
rich men that every mention Of their wealth
brings out scores Of new alms-asking CORE
spondents. l once published newspaper
letter about President Cleveland's charities,
in which 1 told how he frequently gives away
$40 and $50 bills in response to letters which
excite his sympathy. For weeks after this
was published the White House mail was
burdered with begging letters making refer
ence to it, and Sam Tilden's private secretary
once told me that the greater part of Mr..
Tilden's mail was made up Of letters from
beggars Tilden never saw these, and it was
only in few cases that these letters ever
reached his eyes.
1t is the same with the mail Of W. ". Cor
coran and c. p Huntington. Huntington's
letters come from all parts Of Europe and the
United States, though there are more from
the Pacific slope than anywhere else. He
does not read such letters closely, and usually
pitches them into the waste basket. Mr..
Corcoran's letters are replied to with q
printed form which states that his secretary
is directed not to present such letters to him,
as he is unable to meet the numerous de-
mands which they contain. The letters
which he receives are from everywhere and
of all kinds, and the cheek exhibited in some
of them is to say the least, remarkable. One
woman had husband worth $50 900, but she
would like to be independent of him, and she
writes Mr.. Corcoran for donation large
enough for her to live upon its interest.
Another woman wrote for barrel of salt
pork. and a third wrote for q lavender silk
dress to be used during presidents recep-
ton which was soon to come off.-Frank G..
Carpenter in New York Mail and Express.
