SOCIAL REFORM.
THE UNIVERSITY SETTLEMENT
SOcIETY'S CLUB.
What the People Will Do When They
are Given IN Opportunity for Social
and Intellectual Improxement.

Alice Chittenden gives an interest
ing account OF her visit 10 the Uni
versity Settlement Society in Delan-
cey street, New York, as follows:
1T is in the heart of the Tenth
Ward, that great district variously
known as the "Typhus," the Sui
eide" and the Crooked" ward, where,
on a single square mile, 335, 600 hu-
man beings are packed; where the
population is twice as dense as that
Of the most crowded London district,
and five times as dense as that Of any
great city in the United States An
area where everything tempts men TO
vice. All this is within mile of n
part of the city where there are thou
sands of vacant lots.
Not only do liquor shops flaunt
their signs on every one Of the three
corners allowed by law, but often on
the fourth, with numerous smaller
places between where liquor is sold.
Dives Of the lowest kind and coffee
Saloons" where every sort of immor-
ality is kept up until the early hours
Of the morning, abound and gamb-
ling resorts are so ingeniously dis
guised and so innocent appearing as
to deceive the very elect. The He
brews form large part of the popu-
lation, and where they go the sweat
shop, with its attendant evils springs
up.
Against all of these evils the Neigh
borhood Guild and its band of devoted
adherents have TO contend.

nouncements, | was soon surrounded
by a crowd of happy, eager child
faces.
II go to school here, and oh, ain {
it nice - said one. 81 learn to cook
and to sew" said another.
So, having learned where the Guild
was, | passed in to discover what it
was.
The first floor covers a lot % 100
feet and contains two large assembly
rooms and a gymnasium. In the latter
number Of little girls were practic-
ing with such evident enthusiasm as
can be felt only by those who have
never known what it was to have even
elbow room" in life, not to speak Of
the absolutely unattainable freedom
of childish gambols in fields and
meadows. These children come from
homes where three rooms for large
family is an almost princely abode,
for many Of them "home" means a
single room shared by four or five.
The assembly rooms, which are al
so used for dancing, have the walls
hung with beautiful etchings loaned
by the Century Company, and photo
graphs. Many Of the former are the
original sketches made by their own
artists Of illustrations which have
appeared in the magazine. Among
the latter is large and beautiful
Sistine Madonna.
Dancing classes are held every Sat
urday evening and are under the
auspicies of the Oldest club of the
Guild, the O. /. F. (Order Improve
ment and Friendship. There are
about 170 members, pretty equally
composed of each sex. T,.es>len pay
Sl.75 and the women $1.25 for
course Of twelve lessons, the dues
paying for the dancing master at $40
per lesson and three pieces of music,
Mr.. James Calvin is master OF cere-
monies, and the circular announces
that the strictest ballroom etiquette
will be observed"
The second floor contains library
and reading room and a large room
used for club purposes and as a cook
ing school. The lavatories are also
on this floor. The library contains
!, 200 volumes, all of them donated.
1t opened in February, 1898, with
twenty members, the fee being )
cents, not a week, but for the entire
year. New members were added at
the rate Of from 60 to 120 month.
1t was suspended on the 18th of June,
1898, and waited to be opened until
a permanent librarian could be en-
gagged. Hundreds Of applicants
were also then awaiting admission.
Cards Of admission must be signed
by some reliable person testifying 10
the good character Of the applicant.
A placard in large type advises them
to read slowly, pause frequently.

themselves Of the opportunity offered
were enabled 10 purchase coal at
market prices, instead of paying, as
formerly, more than double.
That this work. begun seven years
ago, is not 10 be lightly dropped, the
plans of the proposed building for
the University Settlement Society
will show. The name OF DR.. Stanton
Colt, the head worker OF the society,
whose book on "Neighborhood Guilds,
an Instrument OF Social Reform" is
the standard work on the subject, is
"A still firmer guarantee for its future.
To "A thorough enlightenment re-
garding the work il is necessary that

having hitherto relied in its under
takings upon volunteer workers from
uptown. Most of these come from
the self-supporting classes. In con-
ducting the Flower Mission this sum-
mer | was told that the most active
worker was boy of twelve.
This is pie in which every one to
whose heart the good work appeals
may therefore have IA finger. There
is demand for any number OF friendly
visitors-women who will 60 from

TO 40 per cent. on their money, do
not hesitate to set tenant who makes
an appeal for necessary repairs sum-
marily on the street.
1t is time that charitable people
call halt on indiscriminate almsgiv-
ing, much OF which serves only to
pauperize. Free distributions OF bread
and soup-of anything, in fact-lead
TO abuses, for instances were not
wanting where families took advant-
age of gratuitous bread distributions
to collect and sell from seven TO ten
loaves day.
After | had gone through the Guild
from the ground floor to the top story
my guide said

district" Would you like an object

dreamed OFF" Then for twenty min
utes, with my heart growing heavier
and heavier each moment with the
weight of the worlds woe and misery,
we walked through the adjacent
streets, into blind alleys leading to
rear yards where almost every foot of
space was covered with tumbledown
tenements, where God : air and sun
shine not only were not free, but
where you could not purchase an inch
Of one or n ray of the other with love
or money.

The Girls Of Mexico.

"A great deal OF this talk about
the beauty OF the Spanish and Mexi-
can women is bosh, said James G..
Madison, OF Guaymas, Mexico, at the
National. Mr.. Madison is an Ameri-
can who is interested in Mexican sill
YER mines and has spent the most OF
the last seven years in that country.
Many of the Mexican girls of the
higher classes are very pretty along
the years fifteen, sixteen, up to
twenty-five. Then they begin TO de-
cay, and at thirty-tive they are any
thing but attractive. They are all
born firts, and have most alluring

mantillas, usually Of IA bright color

material for building warehouses and
wharves at Honoipo. Mr.. r. r. Hind
has secured the necessary land around
Honoipo, and will open that port spe
cially in connection with sugar traffic.
His own plantation, and possibly
others, will ship their sugar in future
from Honoipo. A large cable will ex-
tend from the bluff to q buoy some
distance out in the harbor, and a car
is to work up and down the cable.
dropping the sugar into the sailing
vessel, which will be anchored mid
way under the cable. By an ingenious
continuance, the loaded car, in de-
scending, generates power enough to
haul up the empty car again. A
donkey engine stationed on shore will
haul up the car when landing freight
from the vessel. Everything is to be
in working order for next years crop.
We understand the buoys are already
placed and the plant landed, and work
will at once begin in erecting the
warehouse and other buildings.

National Cane Shredder
PATENTED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

The attention of Plan ers
and Agents is called to ne
following letter from Mr.
JOHN A. SooTT, Manager Of
the Hilo Sugar Co., regarding
the working of the National
Cane Shredder, which he has
lust introduced into the Mill
of that Company.
wA1SAKu, Hno, HAWAII, {
January 22d, 1S94.S
Hon. VIM. G.. IRWIN, Honolulu, ii. /.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours OF Il
10th inst. regarding the National Cane
Shredder furnished by the Universal
Mill Co. of New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar Co. this past season,
Iwould beg TO say, that il has now been
in operation day and night during the past
three weeks working on plant cane, and
also hard ratoons, and it is giving me the
greatest satisfaction. The more / see of
its capabilities, the better pleased l am
that put it in, as l am satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving of labor, higher extrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from $50 to 400 tons go
cane every 90 hours with the greatesG
ease, and it could shred q much largeA
quantity il necessary. It delivers theT
shredded cane In an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill. which receives il
without the intervt nton of any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill of O
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts. gearing, etc.
Is e.,
on the mill, as only one man Is required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier to the shredder. It has
Increased the extraction from 4 to
per cent.
The economical use of steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is tax. d to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitsted an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and the
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Negass from the shredded. ane
makes superior fuel, and the fireA IN
have less difficulty in maintaining q uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
will be pleased to have q call from
parties interested, as it is necessaiS 10
see the machine at work to fully app G.
ciate its capabilities.
remain, very truly yours,
