The laying on Saturday Of the cornerstone or
a new branch building for the Brooklyn Bureau
Of Charities was an interesting incident rs marking
the growth of IL most useful and important society
The Bureau Of Charities does for Brooklyn what
the Charity Organization Society OF Newly ork,
the Associated Charities of Boston, and similar
organizations elsewhere do for other cities
Briefly, it is a clearing house for charitable socie-
ties generally, and il has done vast amount or
good by curing chronic paupcrism, and prevent
ing the use of charity societies by FOUNDERS, !"
which was formerly IL great evil. II maintains
woodynrds and laundres where any man or
woman in need may find work. Ii discourases
the giving of aims, and aims 10 teach the poor
the cardinal virtue Of sclfhelp. Such an or.
aanization il deserving of all furthcrancc. The
fact that il is comfortably housed and that
second branch is now found necessary for the
eastern portion of Brooklyn shows that 1t has
friends who appreciate its work and do not mean
to let it he hampcrcd by lack OF suitable
machinery.

A woman's s:r.ng. Death.

Probably the most remarkable occur
renee ever known happened in Dawson
Wednesday. Martha Roundtree, the
well known negro woman who kept a
restaurant at the south end Of Main
street, now occupies grave at the ceme-
terry, the result of sneeze. The ply
sicians of Dawson say that they have
never heard or read of similar case.
Wednesday the woman, as well as usual
was at the restaurant attending to he,
work. She had just left the rear of hel
eating saloon and walked to the front
when she was attacked with an exces
sive spell of sneezing and coughing,
She had been afflicted with hernia, and
the strain was SO great as to burst hole
in her stomach. Surgical aid was called
in and her stomach sewed up, which
gave temporary relief. She fingered
until late Saturday afternoon, when she
died. The victim of this remarkable oc-
currence was large woman, weighing
246 pounds. Savannah News.
