M o N EY RECEIVED
Contributions for the Relief of Suffering
- IS. Poor.
The Weather Makes the Burder
Heavier for the Homeless Ones
I'm Great Need.

The condition of the weather yesterday
and today has not by any means tended to
tighten the work Of the Associated Chari-
ties The suffering among the deserving
poor Of the city has not been alleviated to
any great extent and the agents of the or
ganization are constantly investigating ap-
peals for aid. Sickness continues to be one
of the most formidable enemies arrayed
against the relief work, the reports this
morning from the District agents to the
central office citing several new cases Of
diphtheria. Tine Associated Charities few
days ago succeeded IN obtaining employ
ment for woman whose family was in
destitute circumstances. but yesterday one
or her children was stricken with diph-
therfa and in consequence the mother lost
her situation. This state of affairs is be-
coming general. Then again the inclement
weather keeps large number of men out
or employment who would otherwise be
able to earn livelihood.
Ihe need OF money continues, and IL Is
hoped that the amount turned into the
efel gency relief fund will be swelIed to
an appreciable degree within the next few
days.

Gov. Bradley was in consultation all the

Aside from the presence of soldiers on the

Blackburn's friends profess intense indig-
nation over what they term the usurpation
of authority by Governor Bradley. but they
are too much angered to give out any plans
Tor their procedure. 1t Is understood how

IN both houses by democratic members. 1t
Is also expected that certain measures re-

kINsEY'S PLURALITY So,3O3.
Sweep Made by the Republicans In
i'Ililm &c ,hin.

PHILADELPHIA, February 19.-The plu-
ralty of S0,3o3 given yesterday for John l..
kinsey, the republican candidate for city
solicitor in this city, has been passed only
cnce. In 1894 Gov. Hastings got tidal
wave plurality of S5.1:2. In the select
council the democrats have only three out
of tiirty-seyen members. a loss of four.
All Of the morning papers agree that re-
form was showed under" In many in
stances councilmanc candidates opposed
vigorously by the Municipal League were
reelected by larger majorities than ever
before. Notwithstanding the appeals issued
by the league to citizens Ito elect a better
Gloss of men to councils, who will give the
people better water, better gas, municipal
ownership of electric lights and cheaper
street car fares" and incidentally cover
throw the bosses For the first time since
its organization the league ran candidate
on the general ticket in the person of Joln
y. Mccarthy for magistrate. Out of 49,, f3l
votes cast i,Di2 Were for Mccarthy.
This regarded by many as the strength
of the league in this city, although the
vote was so cat up by ward lights that it
is difficult to estimate the actual number
OF league ballots cast.
In the state there We're many surprises
Republicans c2Iried democratic strong
hollis and democrats we're successful where
republicans nae formerly held sway. This
was due If every instance to local conGi-
tions. The greater number of victories
are, however, 20 be credited TO the reDup-
Leans.
Probably the most interesting fight IN
the state, outside of FittsbErg, was in
Scranton, where eX-Mayor Connell and
Congressman Scranton, leaders of rival re-
publican factions, had a bitter fight. The
latter was successful with the AID of demo-
cratic votes, elect.rg James G.. Bailey dem
ocraD mayor and the balance of the demo-
cratic ticket by about 800 plurality. Mr..
Scranton holted the republican convention
ana nominated rival ticket. but afterward
withdrew his candidates and supported the
democrats.
At Reading, in total vote of over II 600
Jacob Weldel, democrat, was elected mayor
by 1ti majority. They also elected Henry
G.. Young city treasurer; but Adam H.
Leader, republican, was chosen controller
by big majority. At York, after a hot
fight, Charles w. Brant, democrat was
elected mayor by % majority. Altoona
elected II. c. Barr, republican. mayor, and
George Harpham, republican, controller by
about 2D majority. Last night the election
of the democratic opponents was conceded
The rest of the republican ticket got $40
majority. The democrats gained three COM
mon councmer.
The unexpected happened at Williamsport
where. in a hot three-cornered fight, the
prohbitionists elected James Mansel mayor
by about go plurality.

the Associated Press last night saying that
Mr.. Hannis Taylor. the United States min

lions regarding an address delivered before
a geographical society by Senpr Convas
who commanded the carayel Santa Maria
which was sent by Spain to the Columbian
expo Sit.on.
Ir this address Senior Convas gave his
impressions of his visit to the, United

alleges was Offensive to the United States
government.
The impartial asserts that Mr.. Taylor's
demand was couched in hurtful lanc,ia se

THE LINCOLN MONUMENT
What Mr.. EvaDs, Who Introduced the
Bill, Says.
No Adequate Expression of Admira-
tiOn for the Martyrcd Presi-
dent mt the Capital.

There is hearty approval both in congress
sional circles ard out of the bill intro
duced by Mr.. Evans of Kentucky in the
House yesterday for the erection of a mon
uInent at the capital here to the memory
of Abraham Lincoln. The hope is ex-
piessed that it may become a law, and that
before the end of the century the work
may be completed.
What Mr.. Evans himself says on the sub
ject is very generally echoed by those who
approve of his proposition. Referring to
his bill in conversation with a representa-
tive of The Star, the kentucky Congress
man remarked:
What Mr.. Evans Says.
I'm strolling about the city 1 have often
commented to myself on the absence of
any adequate expression here of the great
admiral ion in which the character of Mr..
Lincoln is held by all of the people of this
country row. Such an expression belongs
here, for, more than any other American
since Washington. he stands for the re-
public in the affectionate remembrances OF
mankind. His fame has risen superior to
all former factional or sectional differ
ences. and this being the capital of the
country, there should be something APP
proprIate here to mark the eStiTnat ton II
which the mans character and services are
My only desire is that fitting monument
be- erected. and l do rot think half mil
lion dollars too much to spend on what,
when completed would l am sure, meet
with universal approval
The bill has been referred to the commit
tee on appropriations, and. not unlikely.
Mr.. Evans VIII so before the committee
and urge favorable action on it.
The Monument at Springfield.
Discussion OF this matter recalls the fact
that the Lincoln monument at Springfield,
ILL.,, has never been properly kept. In fact.
the egligeI ce exf ibited has been so mark
ed at times public complaint has been
made. This has not been due to any loss
of love or respect for iIr. Lincoin's MEM
DRY by his old friends and neignbors, but is
attributed 10 the fact that Springfield be-
ing a small capital, the care of public
buildings ard monuments, which are few,
is not very thorough or systematic. In
Washington, of course. this; IS very differ
ent. Trained men are employed for the
work and the outlay is alW avs sufficient 10
insure the pTesen tablenesS Of all such dec
orations. Such u monument, therefore, as
is comprchenJed in Mr. Evans bill would
not only meet tie eyes of thousands OF
pcople-strangers from abroad among the
nUnlbar-WhoSe travels do not lead
them to Springfield, but would be a we'll
kept object of beauty and impresSiveness
at all times for everybody.
