successful of latter-day humanitarians
--TOlStoi. 1T is not enough that we
give to the poor Of what we have" says
the Russian altruist; I'VE must give
ourselves to them." Mrs. Washburn
has done what is even more difficult for
woman-she has devoted her home to
the uses of her favorite charity. Each
year Fair Oaks" is thrown open to the
public, when promenade concert is
given for the benefit of the newsboys'
home. Men and women whom the
law of caste would bar forever
from an entrance to the pala-
tial abode eagerly contribute
dollar to the support of the newsbOys
in order to gain admittance there. They
stroll with Unaffected ease and cOnspic-
nous curiosity through the beautiful
rooms, rejoicing in the privilege secured
of referring to the last day of their IAN

Washburn'S." The past year
MISS WASHBURN
has rather taken her mothers place in
missionary work among the newsboys.
She is treasurer of the newsboys' CLUB,
and such frequenter of the club that
she has gained immense influence over
the usually unimpressible young Arabs
of the street. When one Of the re-
pented sinners backSlideS into wicked
ness and the grasp of the law,
he invariably makes the appeal:
Look a ,yere now, yer kin run
me in and l won't make no fuss, but
don't yer go givin' it away to Miss
Washburn." The fear of justice has
no hold upon him. but the dread of
grieving pretty, sweet.dispositioned
young woman has. Miss Washburn is
a petite blonde with hint of New
England in her voice and bearing. Her
attire is characterized by the simplicity
peculiar to debutantes, and she dances
with all the eager grace seen only in
first season out.
Mrs Washburn will take up the
pleasant burden of her position as sena-
tors wife early in February, when the
senator and herself will give recep-
ton to the legislature at the West hotel.

upon ner, IMAM is
Mrs. Washburn. She is a New Eng
and woman who traces her ancestry
BACK To THE MAYFLOWER,
and possesses all that this implies of
strong character and conservatism.
The experience of every woman in high
places is modified only by individual
characteristics. She is expected to give
SO many entertainments to the season,
the splendor of which her dear 500
friends compare carefully with the last
cent of her bank account, and any dis
proportion they may adjudge is as care
fully recorded against her. A cOnScien-
tiOus invoice of her wardrOube is regu-
larly taken, and any failure on her
part to supply town talk with the
number OF new gowns it has
decided she needs is sin of omission
that nothing but an extra supply of new
bonnets OF surprise in the way Of new
jewels can atone. Modest requests for
her autograph-with cash value at

stick pointed made him a spear; two
sticks rubbed together. made him fire;
fifty sticks tied together made him
house. Their bark made his clothes.
and their fruit his food. These people
have been called lazy, but they had no
need to IVORY. Among these simple.
unprotected tribes Arabs pour in from
the north and east with the deliberate
purpose of
MAKING THEIR PARADISE A HE'LL. -
wherever they go in Africa the fol-
lowers of Islam are the destroyers OF
peace, tine breakers up of the patriarclial
life, the DISCOVERS of the family tie.
Their object is to obtain slaves; the
slaves are used to buy ivory with; more
slaves are needed to carry it, and thus
it comes to pass that living man himself
has become the commercial currency OF
Central Africa. The last four years
have seen the spread of this devastating,
slave-raiding Mahometanism through
the length and breadth of Central
Africa. From Lake Bangweolo to the
AruWimi, distance OF a Thousand
miles from south to north, and from
Tanganyika to the Sankultl, distance
of 500 miles from east to west, the
whole country has been depopulated by
these murderouS expeditions. The last
two years have seen the slave hunters
establish themselves on Lake NyasSa,
at first as Mahometan settlers, next as
political intriguers between the tribes,
and at last as butchers and hunters OF
men. The transfer of Uganda from the
native rule to that of the Mahometan
Arabs may be change from a weaker
to stronger government, but as sign
that the power that directs the slave
raids is rapidly increasing in force, and
vastly extending the borders of its do
minions, it is terribly serious matter.
Matters have passed beyond the stage
at which private initiative can success
fully cope with the trouble. The ques-
ton now is, not whether government
can successfully help the natives, but
whether Europe, acting in concert. can
place any effective barrier III the way OF
slave raids"

Treasury not covered by certificates.
The Government has been coming

100000 a month. 1t may increase
tho coinage to si,o0o,OOO as n maxi

find a rate which will maintain the
balance between supply and demand.

rHD ONLY CERTAIN ROAD
TO VICTORY.

The best possible chances OF Re
publican success will lie in tho maxi
ing Of an Administration satisfactory
To- the country. IL that is done there
need be no fear OF tho Democracy
coming into power again in 1892; and
II IL is not done it will cotie into
power. The Republicans now have a
fair majority in both branches of
Congress; they have the executive
Office, and can do what they like.
From now until November OF 1852
they will be subject to the criticism
Knd attacks OF the opposition, and
every mistake they make will be
known, proclaimed and mngnifed.
They cannot, therefore, do too much
for the countryis welfare, nor commit
too TOW plumbers, il they would keep
control Of tho government. It will
Sod much moro upon themselves
thul upon the Democrats whether
they win or lose in 1So2IPhila-

INF ortunately Tor tho future pros
poets Of the Republican party the ad-
mtnistration has SO far falien wido of
the mark in making itself satisfactory
TO the country: The promises which
were nude; and upon which the party
achieved success last November, have
