SAD CASE or DESTITUTION
McGill Family Suffering from Star
vati0n and Sickness.
No Work for the Father and No Food
for the Children, Four OF
Whom re Ill.

Perhaps the most pitiful tale of destitu-
ton which has come to the ears of the
police in many monthsis that of William J.
McGIll, butcher living a No. SO d street
northwest, who has one child dead OF diph
iberia, and four more dangerously i'll Of
the same dread disease, while for more than
a month past he and his famil Of six small
children have been on the verge of starva-
ton, because of his inability to secure
work.
Yesterday Lieut. Kelly, of the Sixth pre-
cinct, was made acquainted with the sad
story. and appl ying himself to few char
itahie persons, was able TO give the stricken
family at least temporary relief. But the
f2mily is still far from secure from the raw
ages OF want.
Mr. McGlll dates his long siege Of ililuck
back four years, when he was strick IN
with rheumatism, which kept him in bed
for two years. Atthat timehe " as the own
er OF prosperous hotel on New Jerse ave-
nue., but owing to his ong-COntinued illness
his business dwindled away, and in little
more than q year he saw the last of his
little fortune 20.
When he recovered, he tried to get work
at his trade as butcher, but the prevalent
hard times made that very difficult, and he
was able to secure only occasional en-
plOyment.
AS if his cup Of bitterness was not full
enough on the st OF this month, little Jen-
ME, the third in age of his six, fell dead in
his arms OF paralysis of the heart, brought
on by d!phtheTia. Not the least poignant
part Of his grief was the knowledge inn
little one might have survived had its
constitution not been weakened by lack of
proper noulishment.
Shortly after the death Of tie fiIst, -four
other of Mr.. McGill's children fell sick
Of diphthena, and now lie in danger of
their life in his home. while the unsightly
blue diphthena sign frightens off the friends
who might be disposed TO call aud offer
sympathy.
When the reporter called, the baby, four
teen months old, lay stretched out on the
bed, apparently dying, and the rest Of the
family. sick and well, were in the one
room. Everything in the room betOk
ened the direst distress and want.
The mother, with tears streaming down
her pale face, said: "Our pride was CON
queTed when we saw our children staTy-
ing, and we viii be forced to ask for
charity, which we haveneve done before. =
Lieut. Kelly is receiving number Of con
tributions for the relief of the stricken fam
ily.
These amounts have been received by
Lieut. Kelly to date: Miss Rose Taylor,
So; cash, 81; for relief OF McGiIl family,
81; Charles Pearson, So; stranger, So;
"to buy something for the children. 81"
Mr.. r p, 81; and DR.. Y, 81. Total, $1S.
Besides these amounts the kndhearted
lieutenant sent the distressed family So
worth Of groceries and Sl.50 worth Of
fuel
