the most kindly feelings and their only
aim was 10 acquaint him with the sub

THEY ARE DESTITUTE.
Sad Plight Of Family Abandoned BY

A very sad case of mother and six des.
titute children. the youngest Of whom 10
years and the eldest i3 exists at IS Dam
forth street on Capitol Hill. The woman's
name is Mrs Elizabeth Studley. She has
no work and very kttle food tor her
children.
Neither Of Abe children Is able to help
her. the Oldest boy having crippled
hand that greatly lessons the small chance
he would nave OF getting employment =
The child next In years has boon re-
fused employment and girl OF. IL years
finds the getting of work hard when all
the liveliness Is crushed out OF her by
misery and poverty.
The main reason for the utter destitu-
tion OF this family, whose few articles OF
household furniture are stored in cellar.
IL the abandonment of Mrs Studiey by
her husband. He left steady work, his
wife claims, at Nioholson's File Works,
to travel around the country.
This leaving OF his wife and children
TO their own unfruitfui resources is said
TO be an old triok of Studley. Once or
twice year. his wife's friends claim, ne
has been I'm tho habit after pay day of
going to visit friends in Scituate or Con-
necticut, and after spending his money to
return home broke. He had the knack of
keeping his work, however.
1t was on tho 2lst OF last month that
he left his family and did not tell them
when he would return. No money was
left TO provide for their wants. Since that
time Mrs Studley has been sheriffed out
OF two tenenents. One Of these was on
Eiswald street and the other In South
Providence.
The health If the mother of the child
rem is not good and the little ones have
verysold and poor clothing. Her only
relative is brother, who Is making
small pay as a laborer and no gives Mrs.
Studley and her six children shelter in
his narrow tenement The brothers. wife
looks after the children when Mrs. Stud
Icy Is looking for work. but the sister-in-
law has number of children of her own
to look out for
The case Is one that calls for help from
the charitably disposed. There Is scarcely
more than enough bread in the brothers
house for his own little flock.
The present whereabouts of Studley are
unknown but 10 is stated he went from
here to Scituate and from that place to
Connecticut.
