HELPING THE NEEDY.
Methods Used i'm New York to Relieve
the Prevailing Distress.

NcthOOS USeO IN new YORK to Relieve
the Prevailing Distress.
Members Of the womens conference of
Felix Adler's Society for Ethical Culture
have opened a workshop for women at is
Delaney street, New York. They will hire
women at 50 cents a day to make up dresses
and Undertaking The things made at this
cheap rate are not to be sold on a market
already depressed. but will be given to peo-
pie who need. but cannot buy the clothes.
Work began in this shop yesterday at 9
| a. m. In the first hour $50 women came
begging and pleading for work. Mrs. Henry
Ollesheimer received them, and other wo-
men Of the conference helped to brighten
the room into which sewing machines, ma
| terials, chairs and bundles of donated cloth
ing had been piled.
Six of the women went out to investigate
cases and came back with stories of fam
| lilies who had no food or COAL and where
five-year-old children were going about in
| absolute nudity. About dozen women had
| cards from some charity organizatio and
| were put at work.
A lunch Of hot soup and bread was served
to them. and the poor things Were so
starved that each one had Ave plates of
soup during the day. The working hours
will be from 8 a. m. till p. m, to give the
women a chance to look around for a better
! situation. The big white-goods houses have
charitably agreed to cut out free of charge
all the goods which the conference wants.
Another charitable act yesterday was the
donation Of 5000 bags of flour, made by a
big milling company. The various charita-
BILE organizations will assist the company in
distributing the gift.
A poorly dressed throng assembled yester-
day morning in front Of the Sunny Hour
Mission. 1t was the occasion Of the annual
Christmas tree, founded by Tello j. d'Apery
In 1852 Between 1900 and 5000 tickets had
been distributed among the most needy
families In different parts of the city
At ~ O'Clock the basement door was
thrown open, and it was all the big police
man on guard could do to keep the rush
back. After the applicants had each re-
ceived good pair of shoes they were sent
upstairs, where they were fitted out with
stockings. underwear, warm coats and trou-
se-s, or dresses and cloaks Besides each
one was given dolls or games. candy, apples
and oranges. Over 200 babies in arms were
also attended to. One woman, accompanied
by several children, tainted while waiting
her turn in the crowd.
She was removed to the rooms upstairs
| and handsome collection was taken up for
her.

DAN CoUGHLIN's TRIAL.
Considerable Testimony of Rem0t
Connection With the Case.

Considerable Testimony Of Remote
Connection With the Case.
An immense crowd of people was present
at the opening of the court in the trial of
Dan Coughlin, for completely in the murder
of Dr. Cronin. at Chicago. yesterday after
noon. The first witness was Mrs. Laura
Herman, a milliner who lived opposite the
Colklin residence in $50. She testified that
on May .. the day after the doctor had dis
appeared, she was in the Conklins fiat by
invitation, while Mr.. and Mrs. Conklin went
out in a buggy to Patrick O'Sullivan's house.
only to discover that he had not been called
away to attend to any injured employee of
the iceman. Mrs. Herman swore that O'Sul-
livan told her at the Conklin residence that
he was sorry he had made the contract with
the doctor, as it advertised his business in
a way he did not like. O'Sullivan also told
Mrs. Herman, so the witness testified, that
he did not know the doctor when he made
the contract. and had to be introduced. The
fact was that O'Sullivan and DR.. Cronin
had met several times before.
Mrs. John A. Lindgren. daughter Of Carl
son, owner OF the cottage where the doctor
was murdered, told the jury that she was
row living there. Her testimony was about
the entrance of her husband and brother
to the cottage through the stairway window
Way A. Tic SohultiOl anu COHteutS OIL Inc
place. The story she had to tell was SUBJ
stantially the same as that told by the po-
lice officers who first examined the cottage
Her husband, who effected an entrance that
Sunday with his brother-in-law, Charles
Carlson, told about his experience, which
differed little from the story of Mrs. Lind
sren.
Both witnesses identified the pieces OF
flooring with foot prints on and the broken
piece of shutter.
Stephen Cooley. an Irishman, testified that
he was in the office OF Dr. Cronin down
town the latter part of April when Justice
Mahoney came with =. O'Sullivan to intro.
duce him to the doctor. The doctor init
mated that he recognized O'Sullivan when
Mahoney was about to make the introduc.
ton. Then DR.. Cronin turned to the wit.
ness and introduced him to the dead con.
spirator.
Police Captain Schuettler was brough,
back to the witness chair to tell about re-
ceiving the partly painted key which fitted
the lock on the inside: to identify the lock
shown him and put in evidence and to de
scribe the condition and contents of the cot
tase when he visited 1t the day the body OF
DR.. Cronin was found.
His examination was not finished when
court took a recess until today.

AVENGED. A MASSACRE.
The Murderers of Sailors Punished by
French and English.

French and English.
An officer OF the twin screw British gun
boat Boomerang. two guns, engaged in the
protection OF the floating trade in Austria
Ian waters. writing from Sidney. N. s. W..
under date of November y, gives a graphic
account of the punishment of the cannibals
of Pentecost Island for the massacre OF the
crew OF the American schooner Don Henri.
The officer referred to says that reports
reached the commander of the Boomerang.
Lieut.. Commander Thomas c. Fenton. while
at Noumea. capital of the French colony Of
New Caledonia, that numerous cases Of
cannibalism, numbering and plundering were
reported from the neighborhood Of Pente-
cost Island.
The Boomerang thereupon was headed
for the Sandwich Islands, where the captain
Of the Don Henri was found. The COM
mander of the American schooner made a
statement to the British officers that early
in September last, when calling at Pente-
cost Island in order to engage natives to
work on q plantation, he sent a boat ashore
containing nj. Lifton, a French trader, and
three native seamen. Upon reaching the
shore the party was attacked by savages,
armed with tomahawks, and murdered.
The commander of the Boomerang at the
same place also received news of the MUIR
der Of the crew of a boat sent ashore from
the Neptune. a French trading vessel, at
Aurora Island.
Later, In company with the French war
ship Scorn. the Boomerang proceeded to
Pentecost and where each war ship land

ty-eight officers and sailors with instruc-
tons to converge upon certain villages and
thus hem the cannlbals in and administer
to them severe punishment for the murder
of the boats crews.
The movement was successfully carried
out.
Tine natives, alarmed at the advance Of
the two naval detachments, retreated upon
the villages, calling upon all the inhabitants
to take up arms. The latter did So but
they made bat feeble defense with their
old Snyder rifles, poisoned arrows and
sailors then destroyed the native village Of
PentecoSt Island and returned to their re-
spective ships.
The Boomerang and Scorr then proceed
ed to Aurora Island. where similar tactics
were adopted and where two villages We're
destroyed. In addition. heavy fines were
inflicted upon the natives Of several other
islands, who had been prominent in the ILL
treatment of traders and seamen. The
French and British commanders also took
prisoners on Pentecost Island and on Auro-
IA Island, capturing those directly impli-
Gated In the murders, and they We're all
sentenced to Imprisonment for life at the
French convict settlement at Noumea
AT Pentecost Island alone. over thirty
white men have been maSsacred and robbed,
and large quantities of human bones and
other remains were found indicating be-
yond doubt that the cannibals had other
victims.
