Care Of the Children.

To the Editor of The Evening Star
The board Of guardians, with it's earnest ana
efficient agent Mr.. Lewis, promises new and
more hopeful history for the neglected children
of the District 1t is but fair. however, to re-
member that we have had an organization
which has for some years been doing sue
cessful work for this very class. We refer to
the Newsboys' and Children's Aid Society. With
limited means aud with no help from Congress.
it has gone on quietly gathering in the waits
of the CITY from the streets and the alleys
and the Police Court, feeding them, clothing
them and caring for them until homes could
be found for them. Its doors have been open
to the children Of poor and widowed mothers
who. relieved OF this care. could
support themselves and do something
for the support of their children.
But The STAR has too often called attention to
this charity to need its Enforcement. Its work
at the home. 927 E street northwest, will go on,
we believe. with the cordial cooperation of the
board OF guardians. 1t should not be forgotten.
however, that the work of the society is wider
than that Of the board, and that there are
many cases of most urgent charity which the
board of guardians cannot take up. These
have never appealed to the benevolence Of our
citizens in vain. The funds of the society are
now exhausted. We understand that there are
scarcely 800 in the treasury for the summers
work. The simple statement Of this fact, it is
hoped, will bring relief. G.

PROBABLY WAS NOT MAD.
The Dog That Bit Mrs. and Miss william
Last FRIDAY,

The Dog That Bit Mrs. and Miss Williams
Last Friday.
Mrs. Joseph Williams and her young daugh-
ter, who were bitten by bulldog at their
home, No. 2219 7th street, last Friday, as pub
lished in THE STAR at the time, are much bet
ter and no fears are entertained concerning the
result Of the dogs attacks. 1t Is not believed
that the dog was mad. as was reported by the
police at the time. As heretofore published,
the dog belonged to Mrs. Matte Montague,
who lived in the adjoining house, and Mrs. Will
Jams was as much attached to the animal as
was its owner. On the day in question the dog
jumped from the secOnd-story window to the side
walk and Mrs. Williams and her daughter stood
therewatching ii play. The animal then caught
the daughter by the dress in a playful way and
when she attempted to drive him off his teeth
closed on her arm. but did not inf1ict serious
wound Then Mrs. Williams went to her child s
rescue and the dog turned upon her, biting her
left arm just above the wrist
DIR. Shadd has attended Mrs. Williams since
the biting. and although her arm is sore no Sc
rious result is feared.
