fell from his eyes as he passed it through a

simple message, which consisted of the follow

mother Is dead" The old man withdrew, and

This was not probable, however, rs ! had

with the persistence of his assertions, | re-

A PETITION FOR THE POLO GROUNDS.

A petition for the preservation of the Polo
Grounds US a ball field will be placed at once
IN uptown resorts, in easy reach of New
Workers. who love sports and can write their
names. If every New Yorker who has been
to a game of baseball on the Polo Grounds
and enjoyed it, and who would like to see
another there. should sign the petition. how
long would it be?
Well, it is safe 10 say that it would be quite
long enough to prove a serious encumbrance
IN the way of the Bureau Of Encumbrances
that is trying to do away with this famous
metropolitan resort.
OF course, all the legality is on the side of
putting One Hundred and Eleventh street
through. But if New Workers could take a
vote on the matter the chances are they would
prefer the Polo Grounds to One Hundred and
Eleventh street or perhaps to Ill streets of
ordinary importance.

When Mrs. Eva Weiss, the mother of little
Tina Weiss, the story of whose separation
from her parents has been SO fully told.
learned that Mr.. Gerry's society had prom
ised to let her see her child once more she
was almost overcome with joy.
She had been so bitterly disappointed time
and again by the promises of the Society
which had never been fulfilled that she was
in complete despair, and though her friends
had tried to encourage her to believe that
they would eventually succeed in inducing
the Society to give back the child, she had
lost all hope of ever seeing her daughter
again.
1t was difficult to persuade her that there
was really anything more in this promise
than in any of the others which bad been
made to her. But when it was explained to
her that the pledge had been given to Mr..
Rice, the President, and Mr.. Fuska, the
Vice-President of the influential Society of
the United Hebrew Charities, by Mr.. Gerry
himself. she began to realize that her friends
had at length been successful in their efforts
to assist her.
"Oh, if can only see my child again. ~
she said with tears in her eyes. - I'm sure
she will come to me. If | can only get to her
they can never take her away from me-"
The father too was equally affected by the
news. and said that he would now have a
chance to disprove the SANDER against his
character.
If they had only given me the oppor.
tunity before, " he said to the reporter, -
could have shown they were false, for Tint
always loved me, and whenever l went away
into the country she would cry and beg me
to take her with me.
She always said she did not like her aunt
Mrs. Harrison, and | promised her that we
would soon have a home together. / did not
have money enough at that time to send fol
my wife and other child, but l was working
hard to get it.
IF | had known that Mrs. Harrison would
be 80 cruel as to give Tina up to the officers.
do you suppose l would ever have let heI
stay there? l had plenty of good friends
who would have been glad to take care of hel
and send her to school when | was away"
All the %neighbors of the Weiss's are re
joicing with them over the good news, ant
when Tina is brought back there will be on,
of the biggist celebrations held that Broom,
street has ever seen.
ARRANGEMENTS are contemplated for a publ,
meeting to be held at an early date to advo
cate the passage of the amendment to tn
children's bill and prevent the recurrence O
outrages like the Weiss case.
