RULED BY RATS.

Beans Islnnd, in FrenchmRn's Bay, Near
Maine, Populated solely by Rodents.
A sail of n few miles mp Frenchman's Bay
from Bar Harbor brings one to q little island
some distance from land on either tide, and
about opposite Hancock point. 1t is only g
small bit Of green land which has been pushed
out Of the water. and has not even been dig
nited by my human habitat!on, says a Maine
correspondent of tho Boston Globe.
On the United States coast survey charts.
and among the people generally, it is known
NJ Beans Island, and 1t is seldom visited by
anybody.
But this island would lie q paradise for
cats, 1t is infested with rats. and how they
reached there no one can tell. 1t Is the gem
oral .upposltion that some years ago n coast
ing schooner must have been wrecked in the
bay and that 1t had rats among the other
valuable portions of its cargo.
Thu rodents are there by thousands and
they fairly swarm over the island. Anyone
who is not fond o. them does we'll in giving
the pl ce n vide herth, for thew know no f. ar
and make il interesting for visitors.
Much OF the island is low AMI fiat, and is so
perforated with their holes that it resembles
q vast sieve.
How they live isn mystery. No one knows
of any fresh water upon the island, so tho rnts
must have heen the sole discoveries of some
hidden spring.

A coon WORK ENDED.

The Baby Fund is closed. its distribution
done, its benefits all accomplished, and The
EVENING WORLD renders to-day the final nc
count of its stewardship. In 80 doing it
would thank its readers, in Churity's name,
for their generous giving-none the less gen
erous because in many instances it WAS
small. But any gratitude it may utter is fee
bic compared with that of the puny children
prisoped in the tenements of New York, who.
by the expenditure OF the Fund, have been
made happier, more comfortable. and. in
thousands of instances, rescued from disease
and death.
Tn EVENING WoRLD lays no claim TO tho
credit Of this good work. Its duty was that
of m agent. n duty which. il believes. was
effectively done. Reaching. as it does, every
corner of the city and suburbs and far be-
yond them. it could forward the appeal for
help better perhaps than could have been
done through any other medium. Knowing
tho vast good this charity has done,
The EVENING WORLD is glad to feel
that it has lone we'll its share of tho task,
that it has put the money subscribed, even
TO the last penny. where 1t would do most
good: T. IS been 40 complicated ma
chinery OF distribution. no red tape. The
money given has gone direct to the sufferers
for whom 1t was meant. Personal supervision
has prevented q dimes going where II was
not needed, and has secured for every
penny more than value received.
1t has been O remarkable charity-remark.

The total subscription was $6,6sO.74 1t will
be difficult to find any charity where so small

The figures in DIR. FosTER's report, pub
lished elsewhere, show that the medical stafI
visited nearly 1873. coo families. and gave
treatment to 10. 5O7 sick and suffering ones.
In addition, s.127 persons were helped by
gifts Of clothing and food. The diminished
death rate during the most trying months OF
the year shows that these measures were moi
in vain.

EVENING WoRLp's readers. would have been
buried long ago, with beggarly little funerals.
1t is a work to have been proud OF, and il
WIS not the charity of the rich or purse
proud. 1t was the gift, mostly. of warm
hearts and small pocket books. But it was n
great gift. all the same.
Once more. we are thankful.

Tho Summers Work Of "The Evening

S8,6sO.74

The Summers Work Of "The Evening
World's' Corps of Free Doctors.
To me Editor of The Ersnirg Wor'di
have the honor 10 sabmit herewith my report
Of the work OF The EVENING WORLDS
Corps of Physicians among the sick children OF
the poor Of New York City during the past sum-
mer.
The corps was -"7anized early In the Sum-
mcr, and, when ~ began its work on July IL,
consisted OF ten physicians chosen from q large
number of applicant. This tan was from time
to time increased. thanks to the generous contri-
buttons OF subscribers to The EVENING WORLDS
Sick Babies Fund, until it finally numbered
thirty-fve physicians. and it continued with
this number up to tho close of the season.
On Sept. 2 the corps disbanded, but five phyS-
icians were retained in order to secure attend
ance upon the very sick patients then under our
| charge and attend to the calls which were still
coming in. There five continued their labors
up to Sept. 20, when their work was finally
completed.
The amount of work accomplished by the staff
during this period Is shown by the following
record, although it can hardly be said that
| the figures adequately express the vast good
which was done among the poor people of the
city in consequence Of the earnest and %untiring
| Efforts of THE EVENING WORLD and its friends.
The total number of visits made to houses by
mcmf ers Of the staff during their terms of SER
vice was ~. 532. The number Of antilles Wis
tied was 1872. s65, and IL. 597 calls were made
in sick cascs, where treatment WAS given as pre-
scribed. these figures include a large number
Of ~revisits. In addition to this S,l2T persons
were relieved by gifts Of clothing, food and
other neceSsaries.
Al regards the result OF our work, a compare
son with the figures OF the Board OF Health's
