IL the different school buildings of the
city all was hustle and activity this morn
ng until the children were called to or
der by their teachers. Then 1t was seen
that the contributions received before 3
o'clock in each room footed UP to most
encouraging amount. In the first division,
which includes some Of the largest schools
in the city, the contributions We're on a
very generous scale. All sorts of things
were brought and piled up. but as rule
it was coffee, flour, tea and staple articles
of that sort that predomipated in the va
rious piles.

THE BURDEN DIAMONDS.
No Negotiations With the Robbers in
Progress.

NEW YORK, January 10.-The statement
having been published that I. Townsend
Burden has been in communication with an
unknown person who represents the bur-
glars who robbed his house of $4,000 worth
OF jewelry two weeks ago. Mr.. Burden said
today: 1T is absolutely untrue that 1 am
making any such negotiations
II have offered reward for the return of
the jewels, and have received many letters
on the subject making all kinds of offers
and suggestions But all of these letters
are worthless. They are either from cranks
or frauds. As yet there has been found no
clue that will lead to the recovery of the
stolen property"

be used only for potatoes, and all Of these
were we'll filled during the morning session.
Groceries in lavish profus.on were collected
IN every room, and 1t dill ones heart good
simply to make tour of the building and
figure out how many good, hearty meals
could be provided for the poor from the
contributions in that one scht oil alone. At
the noon recess many of the children who
went home to luncheon, children who had
forgotten to bring pound In the morning,
remembered to ask for something to take
back with them, so as Lot to be left out
from the fun of giving, an appeal that was
rarely If ever refused by their mothers or
big sisters.
Mr. c. s. Clark. the ST pervising princi-
pal Of the first division, whose office is at
the Dennison building, said that judging
by what had been brought before school
hours this morning 1t vas safe to say the
results of the party in his division would
be most satisfactory. He could not, he
said, make any estimate of the amount re-
ceived until late this after noon, for he was
satisfied that what had already accumu-
lated would be more than doubled by what
the scholars would bring when they came
back from the noon recess.
Second Division A.
TIL. first floor of the Seaton school build
ing, the headquarters of second division
A, looked like a veritable wholesale and
retail grocery store this morning, and In
the afternoon the supply was augmented
by another large supply from the pupils
for The Evening Star pound party.
The list of supplies received embraced
everything in the way of non-perishable
provisions. and the teachers expressed
themselves as highly gratified with the
pre- mpt response CT the appeal for the poor
Supervising Principal Gage, who has
charge of that district, said he had every
reason to believe that when the other
buildings had been heard from several big
loads would be added to the store of sup
plies. He also expected that a quantity
of money would be turned in, for it was
known that some of the pupils had con-
tributed money.
Second Division u.
Second division B includes a number of
school buildings under the supervision of
Mr.. w. B. Patterson, and the contributions
from the pupils of this district were graf
ifyingly large The largest school in this
division Is the Gales building, corner Of
Massachusetts and New Jersey avenues, a
twelve-room building. The other buildings

SCHOOLS IN this division, ana the scenes at
the Jefferson building were oounterparts of
Supervising Principal Fairbrother ex-
pected a busy day, but the actual results
far exceeded his most sarguine expecta-
tons. Packages of all kinds and all sizes
noon. and even after the closing hours.
And the most important thing lies in the
fact that the donations to the pound party
were made by the children only, not out
siders sending in contributions.
The Fifth Division.
The pupils of the schools under Super
vising Principal Jarney made a generous
response to the appeal for The Stars pound
party. A wagon lead of food materials.
and in some cases much more than
wagon load, was received at each one of
the buildings. and these will be added to
the grand total.
Sixth Division b.
In all the public schools under the charge
of Supervising Principal Freeman the con-
tributions Of food materials for The Stars
pound party were very liberal, and COM
prised almost every article that can be
used in a household for eating purposes.
The schools mentioned are Tyler, Buchan-
an, Cranch, in the city, and Van Buren,,
Anacostia, and the two colored schools in
Hillsdale. The aggregate of contributions
amounts to very considerable and will re-
Heve great many deserving people.
The COlOred Schools.
In the colored schools the pound party
was participated in by many of the schol-
ars and the showing made is really very
gratifying. Considering the circumstances
one would not expect much from the color
ed children, but they gave an excellent
account of themselves today.

in the division are eight rooms each, con-
sisting of the Arthur, Blake, Blair, Taylor
Madison ana Pierce, t0gether with two
smaller schools on the Bladensburg road
and at Langdon. g. 10 o.st-,.-
The children in this division were noti-
Ned officially of the coming pound party
WedneSday evening, and manifested imme-
diately considerable interest in the event
The result was that, notwithstanding the
short notice given, the children responded
generously today. At the Gales building a
IN. the main hall by 8 O'Clock, and was
added to during the forenoon by the morn
ing scholars, and when the afternoon con-
tngent of pupils came upon the scene they
doubled the pile. The little ones at the
Gales school were in glow of excitement
this morning when they brought in their
respective offerings. The gifts to the pound
party collection included almost every i'm
aginable article Of food in daily use. One
little girl staggered in under sack of
houl nearly as big as herself. Another
brought big basket of apples. Tea. cof-
Zee and sugar were hot favorites with the
children, and canned goods appeared in
profuSion in the pile
Some of the little ones who forgot to
bring their donations in the morning, or
came off in too much of a hurry to collect
It, were overcome with remorse at their
negligence when they saw the gifts of the
other children, and scooted home at recess,
to return happy and flushed, loaded with
good things contributed to- the common
fund.
BY IL o'clock Mr.. Patterson, the super
Vising principal, had received communica-
tions from the other buildings in his bail
iWick, reporting that the contributions
were coming in literally, and that there
was every reason to expect handsome
collection at each Of the school buildings
AT some of the buildings in quarters of
the city not inhabited by the wealthy
classes the donations were not as extern
sive as in others, but even here the spirit
of generosity was apparent, and while the
children may not have had the means to
exhibit 1t as they would have done, they
contributed their little mite with cheerful
heart.
The Third Division.
In the third division there was liberal
response to the appeals of The Star for the
poor by members of The Stars Santa Claus
Club. The contributions came in large
quantities, and consisted Of a variety of
articles. At the Wallach building a large
dry goods box was placed in the hail. and
in it were deposited potatoes. apples and
onions by the scholars as they arrived at
the building. A number of the contributors
brought canned goods, tomatoes, corn, etc.,
and favorite gift for the poor was flour,
which was brought by some in sacks with
out combining themselves to q pound, and

Claus Club. Last year the pounds were all
collected in two or three places only, so
that they made much more imposing dis
play-mOuntaiEs of flour, hundreds and hun
dreds of pounds of sugar, coffee. tea, tons
of pcta toes and other staple articles This
year every school room in the District
was made the place of deposit, so that the
contributions were scattered around in
hundreds of little piles. For his reason it
was impossible to make even the toughest
ty form of practical charity. but by noon
tomorrow all will probably have been col
lected, so that one can know just how
much can be accomplished by the concerted
action of the school children.
Lesson I'm Charity.
One Of the firmest believers in the advan-
tages of this form of giving Is. Mr.. w. B.
Powell, the superintendent of the public
schools. Said he to a Star reporter this
morning: 1T would be hard TO overestimate
attic way of giving. 1t teaches the children.
from the youngest to the Oldest the lesson
of charity and the beauty of giving TO the
needy, and they are not slow to see what
can be accomplished by united effort in
good works. / am very glad indeed that
the children have been given another op-
portunity to show their generosity, and
cannot see that anything but good would
result if similar calls We're made two or
three times a year, instead of once during
the winter"
Many a little pupil went home from
school yesterday afternoon firm in the de-
termination to do something toward max
ing the pound party a success, and pan
tries were ransacked to find something that
would be nice to take to school this morn
ing. In many of the school rooms big
boxes had to be brought in to accommodate
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-01-10

by others in smaller bags. Sugar. coffee,
cornmeal, cracked oats, tea, ETC., were
also favoEite contributions. At II o'clock,
when the pupils went to their homes for
luncheon, there was another addition to
the store of goods for the poor. In the
Eastern High School building and in the
Towers the result was the same.
In the third division contributions will
be removed from the school buildings to
$50 c street southeast, where Mrs. ]. w.
Babson and Mrs. ]. A. Sutherland will see
that they are assorted and distributed to
the needy.
