estimated it, at least twelve men are in the

it nov? There was 70 time like the pres.

ton Of mans humanity to Man. "
This steamer was loaded with tropical
fruits and In order to tighten her fifteen
thousand punches of bananas and fifteen
hundred barrels and boxes Of oranges
were thrown into the sea. At this time
the steamer was so near the shore that the
crowd which thronged upon 1t were en-
sbled by wading into the surf to rescue a
considerable amount Of fruit. 1t vas doubt

cargo but there seems to have been sbso-
lutely no excuse for such a wsnton waste

poor people along the shore to whom it
would have been = veritable Godsend
There was not the slightest danger that the
free distribution Of this frui, would tend
to glut the market for which the car

excuse that the exercise OF such a
charity would cause delay. Indeed
Il would have tended to facilitate matters.
~ the people would have gladly assisted
In the matter ard taken the fruit from the

what similar occurrence at New York
