swept the store. He attended auction
sales of books on evenings, and in few
months he was familiar with the li,era-
ture of the day. He carried his own
bundles, brought packages OF books on
wheetbarrow to the store, and he says that
today he has never outgrown the whole

Chestnut street from the Ledger office as
he would when a boy.
By the time he was IS he had saved
money enough to go into business for him

Ledger building. which he now owns.
Even in those early days he was heard to
say: ''Some day shall own the Public
Ledger" Mr. Child's first important bus
mess ventures were with the book pub
fishing firm of Peterson tE Company, after
wards styled Childs IL Peterson.
His first great hit was the publication of
DR. Kane's arctic exploration. The ven
cradle experts in the business predicted
failure for young ChiIds, but the lad was
more than sagacious-he was wise. He
knew that Philadelphia had sent DR.. Kane
to the arctic regions to search for the re-
mains of the Franklin party, and he was
sure that everybody would want to read
about that fearful search amid the
terrors of the North Pole. The larg-
est New York publishing house only gave
small order for the book, but in a
few days they sent for 5000 copies. With
in year the firm paid D.. Kane copy

lie i'll Mr. Childs private office IN the
Ledger building on the morning OF May 10,
1877.
Mr.. ChiIds has given away fortunes LOT
the well being of others. he has renewed
the needy. he has deemed that the iaborer
who worked for him was worthy OF more
than his hire. he has contributed hberaliy
to all deserving charities, he has puiit
costly and beautiful monuments to honor
the memory of great men and noble deeds.
In his "reminiscences" he tells us: II
asked what, as the result of my experience,
is the greatest pleasure in life, should
say doing good to others" And he ADDS
this pregnat comment: being generous
grows on one just as being mean does.
The disposition to give and to be kind to
others should be inculcated and fostered
in children. 1t seems to me that Is the
way to improve the world and make happy
the people who are in it"
1t is we'll known that he built a fountain
to the memory of Shakespeare at STRAIT
ford-oI-Avon; that he caused to be placed
in Westminster Abbey memorial windows
to Herbert. Cowper and Milton. He caused
a monument to be placed over the previ-
ously unmarked grave of Leigh Hunt in
Kensal Green: he rendered a similar serv-
ice to the memory of Edgar Allen Poe; he
was also the largest subscriber to the fund
for memorial window to Thomas Moore
in the church at Browham, where Moore
and Bessie are buried. In 1868 he gave
to the printers of Philadelphia the ceme-
terry, Woodlands, and he endowed it with a
liberal fund for keeping the grounds In
order.
As citizen and family man Mr.. Childs
bears the most enviable reputation. In
town he lives in brownstone palace in
the most desirable portion of the city. In
the country he has spent fortunes with
Mr.. Drexel in building model houses with
parks and groves amid the loveliest of
Pennsylvania historic regions. Every
known improvement for health. comfort
and pleasure has been introduced in these
ideal country seats. Perfect drainage,
gas, water. steam heat. Libraries, schools,
churches and magnificent drives and
boulevards have sprung up as if by magic
at Wayne, st. David's, on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, about fifteen miles north
west of Philadelphia.
Mrs. Childs is granddaughter of
Judge John Bowler, and her mother, the
wife of Robert Z. Peterson, NJ. D., the
publisher, wrote treatises on astronomy
that were praised by Sir John Herschel
and Lord Rosse. Mrs. McCarter is Mr..
Childs' niece, and Mr.. McCarter is a law
yer. Miss Peterson is also niece.

Many Calls on the Bureau OF Charities
Two Sad Cases.
The Bureau of Associated Charities is
doing great deal in the way of alleviat-
ing restitution in the city by furnishing
employment for men of family, out is
hampered very seriously by the lack Of
funds. The rooms of the bureau in the
Seattle National bank building are
crowed continually by applicants for
charity, and Assistant Superintendent
Osgood has more than he can attend to
hearing the story of each caller, and after
that making a personal Investigation Of
the cases.
The condition of the family Of Antoine
Hansen, who lives on Pine street near
Eleventh, was brought to the attention of
Mr.. Osgood yesterday by C. Berkman.
The latter lives at LIB Pine street, and
Hansen is one of his tenants. He says
that Hansen, who is married and has two
children, has been without work for four
months. All winter he has lived on credit,
and promised to pay all the bills when he
received from Europe draft for $500. The
draft came two weeks ago, but while on
his way home after cashing it, he was
knocked down by unknown men and
robbed. Mr.. Osgood will call on the Han
sen family today and investigate their con-
dition.
Manuel Pinto, Chilean who lives at
Port Townsend, will be sent home today
by the bureau. He has lived at Port
Townsend for nine years and married an
Indian woman. Eight months ago he
broke his leg, and since then he has been
compelled to go about on crutches. He
came to the city few days ago and ap-
piled for charity at the bureau, saying that
the Jefferson county commissioners re-
fused to aid him on the ground that they
had no funds. Pinto's fare will be paid to
Port Townsend. and he will carry letter
to the Jefferson county commissioners
from Mr.. Osgood, stating that Seattle has
all she can do to look after her own
paupers without looking after those of
other counties

The remains of Thomas Murray, the old
man who died in the police patrol wagon

he called on DR.. G. Fl. I. Sparling, city
physician. and. stating his position, was

he could do something towards paying for
his support. Fred Gasch, chairman of the
board of county commissioners. was not
in the city Friday. and Mr.. Osgood prom
ised TO speak TO HIM on the subject upon

him again until he read in the Posr-INTEL-
LtGENcER the account of his death IN the
patrol wagon from lack of medical care.
Murray was IS years old and unmarried.

AMUSEM ENTS.
Richard Mansfield.

The appearance of Richard Mansfield at the
Armorv next Thursday evening is one OF the
most important events of the dramatic season.
Mr.. Mansfield is one of the most striking fig
ures of the time. He has ventured with great
spirit into untrodden fields of character, and
out of every new adventure he has added new
credit to himself Perhaps he has not been
brilliantly successful in all, bat he has had
many successes, and he has stirred the dry bones
of conventional acting and inspired people with
an idea that there is p.enty of dramatic material
il the artist has the energy to seek it and the
pluck to trust to the intelligence OF the average
audience. OF the play "a Partisan Romance"
which will be the opening piece OF his engage
ment here, the San Francisco Music and Drama
says: "His delineation of the old roue was
simply perfect, and it is seldom that the audi
ences of this theater are so completely carried
away by their feelings. 1t Is in the fourth act
that Mr.. Mansfield achieves his supreme effort
Here We find him entertaining at supper party
OF coryphees and while he is making cynical
toast ne is stricken down with paralysis. The
manner in which he contrives this effect is
truly marvellous, and when he falls dead
at the head of the stairs and the cur
tain descends the audience sits still,
Mortified by the scene just witnessed for a few
seconds; then only do they realize that they are
victims of one of the most perfect illusions that
ever deceived audience, and they burst
into a storm OF applause, which is only ter
minated by four or five appearances of the actor
before the curtain. Columns of praise could be
written on this performance and yet its merits
would not be exhausted.
"In this, as in every other character Mr.. Mans
field attempts, the absence OF exaggeration is
one OF his principal charms. His finale to the
second act is a case in point He merely sneer-
ingly speaks to himself the words, 1--WE shall
see" but the expression OF his face, the tone of
voice conveys to the audience what is passing in
his mind as If it were reflected in mirror and
their enthusiasm is aroused Mr. Mansfield's
ability seems to have no limit. Each new per-
Torrance is a startling surprise, and there is no
doubt that the man now playing at the Baldwin
is the actor of the age whose coming has been so
long awaited.
Beatrice Cameron is charming as Rose
Guern, the danseuse, which she plays In a
bright and happy manner which causes her eff
forts to be received with pleasure by the
audience. The piece is very completely staged.
and the supper in the fourth act is realism
that few managers would care to initiate"
