Newsboys' Aid society Unsectarian.

| To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
the recent bazaar in behalf of the News
| boys and Chlldrens Aid Society had a
| better feature than even It's financial sue
cess. 1t in the cordial relations and
hearty cooperation of the best elements
| OF Washington society of every name. No
sectional or religious lines were recog-
nized in the efforts to benefit the home
| less waits and struggling newsboys OF the
city. Hebrews, Roman Catholics and Pro-
testants of every denomination were united
| in the service of a common charity. There
was a moral beauty in the scene that was
fifty Swallowed by its visible form. This,
indeed, has been characteristic OF the work
of the society from the beginning. No
question of race or religion has ever
tered into its constitution. its mt mbership
or its management. With the hundreds OF
children who come under its care the same
principle obtains. The question OF birtn
or faith Is never asked. 1t Is enough that
the child needs the aid which the society
was formed to give.
In the face of all this-known to the
world-it is very singular that our new
superintendent of charities, If he is cor
rectly reported by the public press, class
es the society among sectarian :nstitu-
lions and urges that Congress shall refuse
all aid to IT in future, This is an extraor
binary position to be taken by public
official appointed not TO destroy the char
tiles of the District. but to see that they
are properly and deservedly administered.
The Newsboys and Children's Aid Society
is no more a sectarian institution than is
the Emergency Hospital or the Help and
Hope Mission or the board OF children's
guardians.
The writer OF this has agreed with the
superintendent OF charities that some re-
form is needed in the administration OF
our public charities, but unless II can be
an Intelligent and discriminating reform
the whole subject had better be left as
Il is. A theory which would build up GER
tain charities by liberal congressional aid,
while IL would as far as this aid goes.
sweep out of existence other charities
standing on exactly the same plane and
doing far larger work, is theory that
needs radical revision. 7. s. CHlLDS.

Four Kinds of Edible Fungi.
In the Washington markets four kinds
of edible fungi may be found on sale In
abundance on almost any market day dur
ing the autumn months, and to a more lin
tied extent at times favorable to their
growth during the spring and summer.
These are the common mushroom (Agaricus
campestrts); the horse mushroom (Agart-
Gus arvensis); the shaggy mushroom Co

No Single Test.
There is no single test and no safe series
CT tests for poisonous mushrooms. The
poisons contained IN the various species are
extremely diverse in their physiological eff
fects and their chemical composition. In
the District of Columbia occur at least
thirty goodsized edible species. at least
four species known to be poisonous. and
several more that are suspac ted of being
species. we sh Ill never know the actual
facts until some one has beel poisoned by
them or until experiments are made on
animals to ascertain their physiological eff
fects. Botanists, who from long training
in the discrimination of plants. possess
the faculty Of distinguishing readily be-
tween related species. will easily avoid the
error of installing superficial resemblances
for the real characteristics of the different
kinds. and may be trusted in the identif-
cation Of mushrooms, If they have studied
that group of plants. II there is a musn-
room club in the community, every one who
rooms should join 1t. In the District of
Columbia a recently organized association
known as the Washington Theological
Club is recommended Membership In SUCH
club and proper use of the facilities
afforded by it should prevent the mistaking
OF poisonous for edible species.

San Francisco, Cal, Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned, chief and as
sistant engineers of the Southern Pa
cific company's steamer 'Amador,"
with which we have been connected for
a number of years, certify to the effic-
iency of the Fucker Medcol egg in ex-
terminating cockroaches. These pests
have been great source of annoyance
on board the vessel and nearly every
known remedy has been tried with
little or no effect. Several weeks ago
we obtained about half dozen of the
above eggs and placed them in the
worst infested part of the vessel. I'm
mediately the insects commenced to
disappear and now these places are
entirely freed from them. We believe
that by using more of the eggs the
insects would be eXterminated from
every part of the vessel.
