Tho Charity Organization Society does not
want the concert to DO given at Music Halt on
April for tho benefit o! tho New York and
Brooklyn st. Andrews one-rcpt coffee stands
to succeed Charles u. Kellogg. the General
Secretary Of tho Society. said to n Sun reporter
yesterday:
THE st. Andrews one cent coffee stands nre
n kind OF charity that New York does not want.
They are In the interest of lazy people. They
encourage idlcness and make industry I'M
necessary. They draw into tho city crowds OF
tramps and beggars. You Sec man may beg
q fve.cent piece and can get all the food no
needs for day or moro with 1t. He buys .
lodging or he sleeps In the station house. and
thus no manages to live without work. The
charity Of 1t may DO called indiscriminate.
Bcsides.we claim that the scheme is a pure
business venture. speculation for private
gain. and that there have been large returns
from 1t and q very large profit. 1t was started
by Mrs. Lamudrd She professed that Its ex-
renscs wero paid from her private purse. This
society investigated and failed to find that she
had any private purse. We think that she has
made u profit out OF the stands. We Know
that she has taken, in very large amount OF
Tor one penny OF It.. She industriously soicits
