James G. Clark's Concsrt-Facts About
Puilmun.
PASADENA, July 7.-On Monday even
ing next James G. Clark, the poet
singer, gives concert at the NJ. E..
abernacle for the benefit of the Mont
clair children's home.
Mr.. CLARK ia we'll known in this city,
having been heard on q number of occa-
sions. and the public will be glad to
have an opportunity to hear him in an
extended programme.
The Montclair children's home is a
deserving institution, and is in need Of
funds to carry on it's work. On the sub
ject of the home DR.. and Mrs. Townsend
say:
i The object OF the Montclair children's
home is not as an asylum in which the
child is to remain as an expense upon
the community, with the disadvantage
to the child usually entailed by institu-
tional life. Being connected with an
association that has an organization ex-
listing throughout the state and nation,
cooperation is thus secured in wisely
selecting and placing children in perma'
nent homes.
The national superintendent SAYS:
s'The earlier the age at which little
waif can be placed in home to be
trained in habits of temperance, person
al purity and industry. the surer will an
upright and pure manhood or woman
hood be developed. and its own future
spared the remembrance of desolate
orphanage in ignorant and vicious sur
roundinge."
tate
thority, it is work of faith, wholly
dependent for support on benevolent
contributions. The work was organized
August. 1891, and 55 children have been
cared for Anumper of children could
not be admitted for lack of means.

FACTS MIsREPREsENTED.
The following letter to the Star will
prove oil general interest:
The Times OF yesterday either will
fully or unintentionally misrepresented
facts about the town of Pullman. Here
are the statistics: ut was not O phil
anthropic, but a business experiment.
The grevt principle, quid pro quo, was
carried out with undertaking regularity.
II every resident of Pullman had gas
laid to his house. he was compelled to
pay for it at the rate of s2.25 1000 feet,
although the cost of it's manufacture to
the Pullman company was only 33 cents
q 1000 feet. Ample water supply was
given, with good pressure. but out oil
this necessary of life the Pullman com.
pany wa able to extract a handsome
profit. Chicago supplied the corpora
ton with water at 4 cents for 1000 gal
Ions, which was retailsd to the Pullman
ties at 10 cents per 1000 gallons, making
profit large enough to enable the cor.
poration to have all the water it wanted
for its works for nothing. Thus did tn,
business instinct of Pullman enable hi,
right hand to wash his left, and thereby
created at the very threshold of Chicago
are object lessons as to the commercia
profits OF municipal socialism.
"Mr. Pullman's ambition was to max
the city which he had built an idea
community. In order to do 80 he pro
cseded in entire accordance with tn
dominant feeling Of most wealthy Amer
leans by ignoring absolutely the funda
mental principle OF American institu
tions. The autocrat of all the Russia
could not more absolutely disbelievs il
government by the people, for the peo
pie, through the people than Gsorg
Pullman. Mr. Pullman was his owl
boss. Before long the increment OF th
value OF the real estate on which Pull
man is built is expected to amount t
as much as the whole capital OF the Pull
man company.
1.-THE too paternal despotism OF tn
Gity builder provoked feeling of re
sentiment, and so the citizens by
vote annexed themselves to Chica
60. of which it is now pal
and parcel. But no annexation ca
destroy his control over the town. 1t i
still the property of which he is th
chief and controlling mind. In tn
civic life OF Chicago Mr.. Pullman take
no part; he is almost as much OF non
entity as Marshal Field or Phillip A
mour. What have they contributed I
the good government of Chicago? Wha
Chicago il suffering from as q city is
want OF probity, an almost total lack {
ordinary business honesty in the tran
action of the city's business. These me
are ipflexibly honest; how comes it thi
their honesty has no more influence
the city hall than the eickly smile OF
December sun has upon an Alpine gil
eier7 The city's finances are all in
snarl, the city treasury empty, and Oh
csgo, with nearly two thousand millor
OF taxable property, has only two hui
dred and fifty millions that can legal
be taxed"
