Pawnshops For the Poor.

There will soon be a strong rival to all
the professional ''uncles" in this city.
The Peoples Bank association, a newly
formed organization for rescuing the
poor from the clutches of grasping pawn
brokers, promises to open at least one
pawnshop in New York within a few
months.
Alfred Bishop Mason, a member of the
firm of Sprague, Duncan e. Hutchinson,
limited, of 10 Wall street and a trustee
of the Charity Organization society, has
been the chief mover in forming the Peo-
ple's Bank association. He promises to
open the main office of the concern with
in few weeks at furthest. Then pawn
shop branch will be initiated in some
part of the city where tenements and
poverty are plentiful. The chief object
will be to lend money at low rate of
interest on clothing and household goods.
I'VE intend to charge only per cent
per month interest" said promoter of
the scheme to me. Ordinary pawn
brokers charge per cent for the first
month and 2 per cent a month for all after
that. Our scheme will be to charge as
little as possible for the accommodation.
Our capital will be 100000 A limited
of shares will be sold at $40
each, with the distinct understanding
that dividends shall never exceed 4 per
cent year, all profits above that being
added to the general fund for extending
the peoples banks. New York Herald.

THE HOME CORNER.
Written for the LIGHT.
BY JULIA rRUITT BISHOP.

Written for the LIGHT
II don't know how many of the
people here" said a young lady
who lived in Texas city 81 was
born and raised here but | went to
school and graduated in the North,
and | formed all my friendships
there. | never have felt identified
with these people since | came
back. think that is one of the
worst things about going off to
school, you lose all interest in
your own state. | don't cary any,
thing for Texas now, and / am
sure | never will feel at home here
any more"
ooh, you don't know how lonely
| feel Proclaimed young girl who
was at home for the vacation. 81
will be so glad when school opens
and | can go off again. | used to
know all the girls here, and had so
many friends among them, but
now | don't care anything about
them. feel like stranger here,
right where | have lived all my
life. My friends are all in Ken
lucky and Virginia and New York.
| will be sorry when | get through
school, and if | can manage it Pm
going to take a postgraduate
course, so that | can stay there as
long as possible"
Such expressions as this are
heard every day; and yet every
year the number of girls and boys
who are sent away to northern and
eastern schools grows steadily
larger. Not content with import
ing everything else that is used or
worn or consumed in this country,
we import our education and cul.
ture also, and nothing of the kind
is genuine or worth having unless
1t bears the trade mark of some in
stitutiOn outside of Texas. True,
there are arguments on that side
of the question, as we'll as on this.
Very many Of the people who send
their children to schools outside of
the state claim that it gives them
a polish they could never acquire
here, and that it gives them
broader views and removes from
them every trace of the sectional
prejudice which is the great draw
back Of those who are educated
nearer home.
But the truth remains, that Tex
as has some of the finest schools in
the United States; we'll equipped.
ably managed, and with a curri-
culum that would do credit to the
Oldest colleges in the country
Very many of these schools have
among the faculty teachers who
have made a national repu.
tatiOn for themselves as edu-
Gators in Eastern schools, and
have been attracted to Texas
by the broader field opened before
them in this growing state. And
yet, the Texas pupils who were at.
tracted hundreds of miles by the
reputation of these very teachers
now pass them by-because they
are IN Texas. What a comment or
our state pride! What an encour
agement to the outside world tc
think that Texas is a half-century
behind the other states in her edu
cational advantages, and that she
must send her sons and daughter.

And this education abroad GER.

And this education abroad GER
tainly does remove all sectional
feeling-fOr Texas. The young peo-
pie who spend several years in
Kentucky or Missouri come back
Kentuckians or MiSsOurians, but
never Texans again. Think of it
You send your daughter to school
a thousand miles away, expecting
her to return with a "polish" which
she could never get in a school three
blocks away; and she returns with
the polish, according to program,
and also with an utter indifference
toward the young people among
whom you expect her to spent the
of her life. She was
sent away at the tenderest and
most susceptible time of her young
and she is alienated from
her home and its surroundings.
Rather a large price to pay for a
little extra polish and broader
vision.

And so the Home Corner has
somewhat to say for the Texas
schools. Up to this time they have
had the patronage of the people
who could not send their daugh-
tiers and sons to a distant state.
Those who could afford the expense
have almost invariably patroniZed
schools out of Texas; and Texas
has received the smallest share of
patronage from other states. Can
we expect it when we have so little
respect for our own institutions
If we prove to the outside world,
by our actions at least, that Texas
has no schools worthy of encour-
agement or support, we cannot
complain overmuch if Texas gets
no patronage from abroad.
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1893-08-29

But even suppOsing that our
schools were lacking in every es-
sential qualification, we have but
to give them our cordial and I'M
divided support to build them up
into the finest and most successful
institutions. The united patron
age of Texans is all that is needed
to make our Texas schools flourish
ing and prosperous and if they
had a united Texas patronage
they would soon begin to
attract the patronage from
abroad. In schools, as in every
thing else, it is success that sue
ceeds. Ever since Texas was a
state we have been devOting our
money and influence toward MAX
ing a great success of schools in
other states, and in doing this have
alienated our children from the
home and friends we have always
held so dear. Suppose now that we
give the same money and influ-
ence toward making a success of
the schools in our own state; and
resign ourselves to a little less
polish in our sons and daughters,
if only we can see them we'll edu-
Gated and noble Texans.

The Alleged Poisoner of Several Peo-
PIE is Brought Before the Court.
NEW YORK, Dec. AFTER months of
tedious waiting DR.. Henry F. Meyer, the
alleged poisoner, was placed on trial for
his life this morning, together with his
wife, whom the prosecution claim was a
guilty party to her husbands crimes. The
| trial is before Justice Barrett in oyer and

DR.. Meyer, while charged generally with
having poisoned a number of persons in
order to recover the insurance on their
lives will be tried on an indictment charg-
ing him with having poisoned Gustav q.
II. Joseph Baum on March 80, with
about thirty grains of anthony. The
insurance companies from which the Mey-
ers tried to recover the amount of policies
suspected that something was wrong and

continued in the west and It was because OF
that the insurance companies were able to
find Meyers, and finally caused the arrest oil

AINswORTH SUSTAINED.

The District Court OF Appeals Finds
That the Indictment Was Fatally
Defective.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The district court
of appeals to-day sustained the demurrer
In the case of Colonel AiDsworth, chief of
the bureau of pension records OF the war
department, and three other persons, en-
gineers and contractors, indicted with him
for granddaughter In causing the collapse
of the old Ford's thester building on the
9th of June last, by which twenty-one
clerks lost their ives and a number of 9TH
ers were injured. The court held that the
indictment was fatally defective because II
did not show upon its face facts which
would enable the court TO determine by
legal construction whether there was q
joint duty created and imposed on all the
defendants alike.
This decision remsnds the case 10 the
criminal court, which will discharge the
defendants. Whether or not the district
attorney will attempt to frame another In.
dictment seems to be In doubt. 1t is stated
however, that such is his intention.

A Total Loss-The Disaster at Corn

Abandon the Vessel.
! SAYBRooK, Dec. 4-The brig W. r.
Hutchins which went ashore Saturday af-
ternoon on the west end of Cornfield light
ship is still ashore tonight and the seas
are making clear break over the vessel
which will probably become total loss II
the storm on the sound continues another
day. Wrecker Thomas Scott of New Lon,
don with his crew of wreckers and lighters
have been at work on the vessel all trying
to get the vessel off into deeper water but
up to this evening their attempt had been
unsuccessful. The Hutchins cargo of 10C
tons has been removed from the vessel and
the deck load of lumber was thrown over
board. The vessel is full of water and the
seas are continually breaking over her. II
is feared that If the gale rises the vessels
keel will be twisted out of her and she will
become a total wreck. The captain and
the vessels crew have abandoned the yes
eel and have gone to New London. If the
vessel stands the gale tonight the wreck
ers will go down tomorrow and make an
other attempt to get her off.

utterances concerning Hawaii: Such a frank
and honest admission of mistake and
avowsl of the intention to reverse it
reflects the highest possible credit upon
the president, and, indirectly, upon the

1t would be premature to regard 1t as al
