AN OLD STORY AND A GOOD ONE.

At the conference of charities at Den
yer, Delegate Letchworth of this State
related story of great pertinence, and
one that will be especially appreciated in
this locality, even among those familiar
with the facts. The narrative was ap-
propriated and amplified by Frank b.
Sanborn, who incorporated additional
information, and it is presented below as
he gives it:
Some 80 years ago, on a cold, raw,
windy day, sad-faced woman left the
Albany almshouse. AS she directed her
steps toward the city, and drew her
huttering garments more closely about
her, she thought that the piercing winds
from the Heidelberg mountains were
not more chilling than the administra.
ton of public charity. She was not
pauper, but Of good family, and pos
sessed of means, with which she freely
aided others. In pursuing her benevo-
lent work she visited the almshouse,
and was shocked at the conditions she
found there.
1t was the old story-utter indiffer-
ence to sanitary laws, promiscuous as
ISOLATION of the sexes, old and young,
brutal treatment, dirt, cold, foul air, pu-
trid meat, insufficient clothing, etc. This
good woman demonstrated earnestly
with the keeper against these abuses; he
responded by shutting the door in her
face and forbidding her ever to enter the
place again. This rebuff did not change
Miss Knapp's determination to protect
the poor creatures at the almhouse; and
as she could gain admission no other
way, she formed the resolution of enter
as pauper, which she soon did.
Among her friends was an accom-
plished young lady, Miss Parker (daugh

If out of order, use BEEcHAM's PILLS.

President Harrison's appointment of
John W. Foster of Indiana to the vacan-
cy caused by the resignation of Secretary
Blaine is good business If not the best
politics. Mr.. Fosters name has been
one of the most familiar names of our
recent diplomatic history for a dozen
years, and his service under Mr.. Blaine
has specially fitted him to take up the
threads of diplomatic negotiations just
where the great ex-Secretary dropped
them, and without the loss OF a point.
This, and the Prohibitory Convention at
Cincinnati was about the sum Of politi
cal news last week. The Prohibitionists
nominated Gen. John Bidwel Of Cali
fornia and adopted platform. Their
name as Third Party win be disputed at
Omaha this week, when the Alliance
and nondescripts shall place fourth
name in nomination for the Presidency.

The proposed souvenir to commemo-
rate the Columbian Exposition is to be
made of silver. Instead of bullion, old
silver dollars will probably be used. A
copy of the design has been struck off at
the United States mint at Philadelphia,
and shows, on one side, the administra-
ton building at Chicago, and on the
other, the head of Columbus taken from
Ricou's portrait of the discoverer, which
hangs in the Queens library at Madrid.
This will create a market for many of
the useless silver dollars lying in the
treasury, and is the best disposition that
could be made of them.
1t is reported thai Judge Gresham is
considering the expediency of running
for the Presidency on the peoples party
ticket. He will do as he thinks best, of
course, but it might have salutary
effect upon his actions if he read the life
of Benjamin F. Butler.
Henry Watterson made the main plank
in the Democratic platform after all. It
is the old fashioned Free Trade plank of
tradition and custom. The Democratic
party stands this year once more for Free
Trade, pure and simple.

The treatment of Mrs. Henry NJ. Stan
ley by the audiences which she and her
husband have attempted to address in
the interest of the latter's candidacy for
a seat in Parliament commended to
the thoughtful consideration of the
captious critics who are always compar-
ing English and American political
methods to the disadvantage of our own.
No audience, no mob could be gathered
in any Congressional district in this
country that would subject woman to
the insult, indignity and brutal attack
which Mrs. Stanley has suffered at the
hands of the voters of North Lambeth.
The man or set of men who should dare
to attempt such outrages to lady in
this country would do so at great risk of
life and limb. Yet the anglomaniacs
will continue to tell us that Americas
political methods are vastly inferior to
those of Great Britain.-N. Y. Press.
