swlrzeRLAND's PRESIDENT.


He was Formerly n soldier in the United
states Army.
Col Emil Frey, the new President of
the Swiss Republic, whose term of Of
fee began with the new year, was q
volunteer soldier In the United States
army during the civil war.
Col. Frey was born at Arlesheim,
Switzerland, October "a, 1888. After
attending the excellent schools In
Basle he entered the University OF
Jena and took foremost rank as a
scholar in his special branches of study.
At the federal military school of Switz-
erland he took the usual course of an
officers training and then sought prac-
tical experience in the line of agricul-
tural science in Germany, extending
his observations and studies In that
line to Arerica, where, in 1861, when
the civil war broke out, he was found
practically engaged as n farm hand in
Illinois, familiarizing himself with the
agricultural methods of the great
West
Although he had only come to the
United States to remain temporarily,
his inborn military ardor got the bet
ter of him and he enlisted, being en-
rolled at Chicago and mustered into
service July s, 1861, as n sergeant
with Company Il, Twenty-fourth ILL
nois Infantry, to serve three years
August %, 1861, he was appointed sec
ond lieutenant and transferred to Com.

prisoner he was sent to Staunton and
then Richmond Va, where, in March,
1864, Capt. Frey, together with First
Lieutenants G. w. Pavey and L. Mark
brett, Second Lieutenant w. G. Man
ming and Major n. Goo subsequently
Secretary Of the Navy, was selected
as hostage for certain Confederate
prisoners and taken to Libby prison.
The five officers were placed in the
dungeon known as the "black hole"
where they remained nearly three
months. The health of these hostages
becoming seriously impaired by reason
of their scanty food, long and close
confinement, they We're, upon the
recommendation of the medical au-
thOrities at Richmond, sent to Sails
bury, n c., and eventually to Dan
vile, from where, on the following
August 90 Capt. Frey was again placed
in close confinement in Libby prison
In Richmond, in alleged retaliation for
the treatment of Capt. Gordon, of the
Confederate army, who had been regu-
larly tried by military tribunal, con-
victed and sentenced to death, the exc
cution of which sentence, however,
President Lincoln suspended, and
meanwhile Capt. w. G. Stewart, of
the Confederate army, was placed In
cell confinement as hostage for the
threatened retaliatory execution Of
Capt. Frey.
Finally, January IA, 1865, Capt Frey
was parolled at Atkins Landing, Va,

recuperating somewhat, was sent to

NOTES FROM GOTHAM.
CURRENT GOSSIP REGARDING CHAR
lTY, BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

New Ideas of Helping the Poor-Thc
Charitable Pawnbrolser - An Unhappy
PhiIanthropist-Thc Business situation
Political wirepuiling.
Special New York Letter.
The present period of stress has been
remarkable in many ways, and in none
more than in the practical intelligence
and helpfulness that has been applied
to the problems of aiding the deserv-
ing poor. One Of the latest sugges-
tions is that Of reforming the laws
governing the business of pawnbrok.
ing Some practical philanthropists,
recognizing that the pawnbrokers'
shops are the real banks of loan for
the poor, are convinced that the busi-
ness should be so supervised and con-
trolled that only reasonable charges
can be collected from those whose
necessities require the pawning Of per-
sonal effects.
AS at present conducted, the profits
of pawnbroklng are enormous. The
business Is merely organized rapacity
and plunder. The pawnbroker takes
no chances OF loss, charges an interest
that is simply robbery, and In most
cases becomes the owner Of the goods
pawned at q mere 1.-THE Of their actual
value.
The proposition is to organize pawn
brokers' shops on the charitable plan,
of simply making them pay expenses.
The new style pawnbroker will be a
philanthroplc old gentleman, who will
allow something like the value Of ar
ticles pawned, and charge only a legal
rate of interest for the money loaned.
There is no doubt that there should
be a better legal regulation Of the
pawnbroking business. and such State
supervision as would tend to drive out
of it the vultures and sharpers who
now prey on the necessities Of the
poor. The business is necessary, and
should be conducted on legitimate
business lines.
The whole question Of public char
ity is receiving more practical and in
telligent consideration than ever be-

labors, and soon became an active and
prominent factor in the so-called social

one term Speaker of the House Of
Representatives or National Council.
In 1882 it was decided to establish a
full diplomatic mission at Washington.
Col. Frey was unanimously selected as
Switzerland's Minister Plenipotentiary
to the United States, where he served
with an enviable record until 1887,
when he resigned to return to Switz-

He was Immediately reelected to
Congress, and was subsequently made

fore. There is general recognition
of the sound principle that indiscrimi-
nate charity begets idleness and men
delaney. A friend of mine narrates
an interesting incident bearing upon
this question. Calling upon a lady of
large wealth, and one Of the leaders
Of society, he found her In an agitated
and fearful condition. On asking the
cause Of her grief, she replied:
II am in despair over the use
have made Of my money. l have tried
to do good with 1t, but 1 find l have
done nothing but evil. 1t seems as If
to give money 10 the poor was to do
them an irreparable wrong. l have
made drunkardS and idlers and crimi-
nails by my well-intentioned but fool
ish charity, and now feel that to give
even to the needy is only to destroy
their last remaining power Of self-help.
And yet, although / know 1t Is evil, L

or beg or do worse to get living"
1t is to this class of real philanthro-
pists that the problem Of supplying the
means Of self-help to the needy is now
being taken up as solution of the
great work of aiding the poor.

own views of hard times. "It is all
