THE CHICAGO FLOWER MISSION.
Iis Beneaceni Work Among the sick
and Psor Of the Great CITY.

Its Beneacent Work Among the sick
and Psor Of the Greet city.
From letter by Mrs. Kate Leonard Wright.
president Of the mission. who spent some time
IN Brattleboro last summer
Having been a member of the Chicago
flower mission for the past three years,
have seen something Of the sick poor in
their homes, but more of them in the hospi-
tails and other charitable institutions The
mission was organized II years ago for the
distribution of flowers in the hospitals.
Since that time the work has been broad
ened, and it is our aim TO include the differ
ent MISSIONS charitable institutions, free
kindergartens, and wherever possible the
sick in the poorer localities
Last year 19, 544 bouquets 1858 boxes and
81 baskets Of loose flowers were distributed,
and we visited ~ different institutions. We
visited the Jail a few times only, the Bride
well never, many Of the ladies thinking we
should be paving premium TO crime | do
not agree with them. While think the
sick ought to be supplied first, do not see
how the gift of a few flowers can iniure
the most hardened criminal The sun is
made to shine on the unjust as well as the
just, and the little bouquet of flowers may
be a message to the evil doer that human
lips could not utter. The flowers are sent
in from the surrounding country, including
Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, and are
transported and delivered, free Of charge,
by the different express companies.
Last year. for the first time, we distrib-
uted flowers in the poor house, and it seemed
an excellent thing to do. The poor house
is situated in jefferson, distant about twelve
miles, and there the incurable lame, halt
and blind are gathered TO wait with what
patience they may for their release from
the troubles of this life. The buildings hold
about 1900, and in the winter they are filed
to overhowing. As ! was distributing flow
ers there year ago gave bouquet to an
old man who, think had been farmer
He took the flowers, thanked me for them.
looked at me so wishfully and said, "Oh,
dear, how | wish it was an apple :" could
not forget it, and have been planning to
give them all apples and something more
if possible this coming Christmas. As we
wish to include the inmates of the county
hospital we shall have n provide gifts for
at least 2200, and think understand
something how Atlas must have felt. In
both institutions there are people Of all
ages from tiny babies to decrepit old age,
and it will be quite task to fit the gifts to
the recipients Last week we were prom
ised barrel of apples for Christmas, and
We already have received about hundred
books and many magazines and papers.
Some Of the books are written in Greek
and some in Latin, but | do not despair Of
finding those in the poor house who will
enjoy them, having been familiar with them
in their young days.

ABANDONED DY.. HIS FAMILY.
Henry yoight, Once Wealthy, Breaks His
Neck in Hoboken Stable.

Henry yoight, Once Wealthy, Breaks His
Neck in a Hoboken Stable.
Yesterday morning Henry Voight, a
stableman for William Let's at the cor
ner of Clinton and Eighth streets, Hobo
ken, was found dead in one of the stalls.
Voight had been in the habit of sleeping
in the hayloft, and it is supposed that
during the night he fell from the loft to
the floor beneath and so met his death.
Voignt's life history is a sad one. Five
years ago he was one of the most pros
porous business men in Hoboken. He
was in the beer bottling trade and made
money fast. He was married and had
one daughter. At about this time an
estrangement sprang up between himself
and his family and he was soon on the
down grade. His business dropped off
until he was bankrupt. About six months
ago he begged Sergeant of Police Rathjen
to have him committed to the poorhouse.
William Let's took compassion on the
poor fellow, and he gave him chores to do
about the stable, and allowed him to sleep
in the loft. Voight's wife is still living,
it is said. in good style in Trenton. HIS
daughter has married wealthy. and is at
present living in ..Hoboken. The body is
lying at Cranes Morgue.
