Sloane will be missed by the proteges
she has in New York She has been
very active in the newsboys' charities,
and is known as the tenderest hearted
belle in the 399. Many anecdotes illus
trating this fact are current in New
York. For example, about year ago,
a ragged boot black took refuge from
a rain storm underneath the door of
her fathers house. Miss Sloane saw
him wet through and shiverinG, and
insisted that he be brought inside and
fed, that he be given fine dry clothes.
When this was done the little chap in
sisted upon paying for his entertain
ment by backing all the boots in the
house That task was a larger one
than he dreamed of, and it was impos-
sible for him to undertake it. but he
was brought into the parlor and al
lowed to black Mr.. Burdens boots, and
Miss Sloane, heiress to millions, played
the piano for him while he did so.
