Reaction Against His Socialistic Schemes

Dunlsp's Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star.
LONDON, Dec. 27.--The Times continues its
onslaught upon Gen. Booth of the Salvation
Army, the gravamen OF its charges being that
he purposes to use the money contributed by
enthusiastic readers of I'm Darkest England,
for objects other than those designated by the
donors. According to the Times showing
Gen. Booth does not play q very enyiabie part
in the transactions Claiming as his own a
book that was mainly written by another, he
takes advantage of the success Of that work TO
raise money ostensibly for carving out the
plans therein advocated. but really for further
ing other and quite different schemes of his
own. As matter OF fact I'm Darkest England"
has been the great success of Gen. Booths ca
reer. At no time has money been so layished
upon him, and to no previous call have the be-
nevolent of all sects and opinions so generously
responded. Nosooner did the new proposals
become generally known than boom" was
before it. With Canon Farrar preach,
ing in their favor in Westminster Abbey,
and the greatest mobiles OF the land
contributing TO trial experiments Of the kind
suggested, Gen; Booth for the moment rode on
the top wave Of popular favor. This lasted for
time, but a reaction set in and Prof Huxley,
the archbishop of Canterbury, Dean Plumtre Of
Wells Cathedral and others soon proved that
tne iauded plans were very seriously defective.
Others attacked Gen. Booths method of keep
ing accounts and threw doubts on the sincerity
of his offer Of sensational rates of interest 10 in

The present exposures Of the Tines, IL they
should prove to be well founded, will greatly

The Birth Rate of France.

The decrease in the birth rate of France,
with its effect on the future population of
that country, has long been subject of
debate among its public men. Statistics
have shown that this decrease has been
going on for years. 1t now turns out that
England and Wales are in similar con
dition. The returns of the Registrar
General for England and Wales show
that the excess of births over deaths has
been steadily declining for several years.
In 1880 the excess was 367, 224, while,
according to the results of the last two
census years, the increase should have
been $780, The birth rate was also
remarkably low, being 25 per thousand
below the average of the previous de-
cade, while the marriage rate has not
correspondent to the increased prosperity
of the country. These statistics, with
the large emigration, show, in the opin-
ion Of the New York News, that in tirae
there will cease to be an increase in the
population of Great Britain, providing
the ratio of decrease in birth continues.
But England has more population now
than she can well support, and this may
be Natures way of adjusting herself to
mans requirements.

"T1aERr COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Honored with 90, 600 Painting.

In the new downtownDe lmonico's place
of honor is accorded to an oil painting of a
rather common looking dog-a cross be.
ever, very remarkable history. Old
Tiger" was we'll known in Wall street.
For many years he had the run Of the
famous hostelry and cafe, and it used to
be said of him that he knew every phase
of the market just as well as though he
could read the tickers.
Tiger had his favorites among the fire.
qucnters of the place, and be would
show his preference by sitting beside the
men he respected and sharing their
lunch; bur never under any circumstances
would he accept tidbit from the hands
Of 8 man who had once been discourteous
to him. He was the guardian of the
restaurant and no other animal was per.
mitted to enter while he was around.
When Charles Delmonico, who was very
fond of the old dog, persisted among the
Orange Mountains several years ago,
Tiger was inconsolable. He went mon
ing about and his famous appetite and
his spirit were broken together. A furtive
bite was all he cared for after that sad
event, and he turned up his nose in
melancholy fashion at the dainties with
which they sought to tempt him back to
the enjoyment of material things. Brok-
ers who knew the brute have actually de-
clared that Tiger was several times sur.
prised weeping canine tears. But thenWalI
street men are sentimental and imaginative
as rule. One day Tiger, who had been
on hunger strike of unusual duration,
reached out his gaunt yellow Jaws and
took from the pile at the end of the lunch
counter of the old Beaver street establish
ment sandwich containing thin slice
OF beef tongue. An unsympathetiG
waiter yelled at him and kicked him.
OF itself it was but a trife In other DAYS
Tiger would have responded to this
familiarity by cheerfully biting off
portion of the garcon's anatomy nearest
to him, but now--alas! the bowed spirit
was indeed broken. With the iron in
his soul Tiger gave parting glance at
his old home, and, setting his tail
resolutely between his legs made bee
line for the dock at the foot of Rector
street.
There, in the cold and turbid North
River, he sought surcease from the
struggles of life. If ever there was a
deliberate suicide outside of the human
race the death of this dog was onc--so at
least say the brokers, and John Longhi
and Addison Cammack affirm it, The old
dog had gone to follow his master
1t was long afterward that the Inca
ments of Tigers face and neck were COM
memorated on canvas. The painting cost
in the neighborhood of So, 600, and it hangs
where all the bulls and bears can see it
as they eat their luncheon. 1t is valued
possession of the Delmonicos, and they
would not part with it for kings ran
