OF London, Eng.-How the Great Ainerl-
can Benefaction is Administered.
The Hon. Thomas r, Bayard, Ambassa-
dor to England has been elected trustee
of the Peabody Donation Fund of London
England.
This fund, established over 80 years ago
through the muniiicence Of the great
American philanthropist, George Peabody,
is now one of the noblest of the numerous
public institutions of the overgrown
English metropolis.
In their annual report for 1893 the truss
tees report net gain for the year from
rents and interest, after all expenses had
been paid Of over $4,000.
The sum given by Mr.. Peabody was, in
1862 S750.001; in 1866, $500, 900; in 1868.
$500, 600, and received by bequest from him
in 1873 S750,00O; moking a total of s., $780,
600. To this has been added, from rent
and interest ACCOUNTS total of over 81, 000,-
600, making the total fund on December
3lst, 1893, something over s., 100000
Those in charge of the fund for the past
80 years have, according to the donors
request applied the sum to the use of I'M
proved dwellings for the poor of the big
city. The benellcence has been wonder
fully well administered, as the figures
show. The trustees borrowed over
81 100000 from the Public Works Loan
Commissioners and others, and have
already paid off total of $l,275,000. A
balance of S675,000 remains unpaid, the
amount repaid during the past year being
