CHEAP SUMMER CHARITIES.
Wise Methods of Helping the Poor in
Large Cities.
From the Sun.


Boston has instituted a charity that
shows how much good can be done by
the expenditure of little money. In the
congested portions of the city open
spaces have been converted into play
grounds for the children. At a small
cost loads of clean white sand were
dumped in these spaces; the children
of the neighbOrhood We're invited to
come, and all sorts of implements and
toys given them. Here the children
spend many a happy hour, while un-
der the care and direction of one or
more teachers, who are always in at
tendance.
From this Boston sand garden idea
has srung uD in New York a similar
enterprise. The stones were removed
from the empty lots, shed with a roof
built all the way across, and under
it placed tables and benches, while
swings were hung for the smallest chill
dren and tools and playthings fur
nished. Outside the shelter are big
swings for the big goys and girls and
seesaws, as well as simple gymnastic
apparatus.
One of the most practical and ingen-
ious modes for giving pleasure and
health to the poor of the city was orig
mated a few years ago by Nathan
Straus, of New York. over one posi-
tion of an East river pier a permanent
high wooden covering is built, while a
large space is covered with an awning,
with sides to let down to shut out the
sun, Here the women and children
hold high carnival Mothers wheel
their baby carriages and young
sters frolic about the long pier where
no matter how hot the day, a salt
breeze always blows fresh off the river

fleets venturlng as far from home as
the coasts of Africa. The fitting out
of these boats with apparatus must be

During the year of 1895, Greece
bought $S0SS56 worth of prepared fish.
There are over one hundred and sixty
fast days in the Greek religious calen-
dar, on the most of which FISH is eaten,
particularly dried cod. The greater
part of the cod that reaches Greece is
of an inferior quality-thin and poor.

in contained.
In the first place you fail to remem-
Der what is stated in the article, that
it was written four years ago, at which
time Mr.. Stevens was very much alive
and most actively employed in his con-
spiracy with his coadjutors. Again,
you comment that l "omit to discuss
well authenticated reports of the eX-
queens personal unfitness to reign over
an intelligent people and yet accept as
true all the hearsay gossip to the detri-
ment of Minister Stevens"
If it is a question of the morals of
courts, l respectfully refer you to the
court of Great Britain, of Austria, and
in fact any court in Europe, and it is
my firm belief that the court of Queen
Liliuokalani will bear very favorable
comparison. AS to taking hearsay gos-
sip about Conspirator Stevens, you
overlook that / allcge in my article
that l refer to state papers on file in
Washington.

tence: "Our correspondent forgets
that higher than the right of accidental
inheritance is the right of acquisition,
the right of conquest, the inevitable and
divinely appointed survival of the fit
test" / believe in the survival of the
fittest. | believe in the right of honor
able acquisition; but it must not be by
chicanery, fraud or deceit. / deny that
there is any such thing as a right OF
conquest. Such a proposition, coming 6
from a civilized community, returns
you to that savage condition which you
say my article would return us to,
where might made right.
You refer to "the right of the resnon-
siblc inhabitants of Hawaii to estab-
lish government in accordance
with their own ideas" or course
you allude to the present usuro-
ers and rebels, some of whom
were members. of Queen Liliuo-
kalanis government at the time they
entered into the conspiracy, all known
as missionary children. I paid my re-
spects to them In the article itself.
What is right and what is wrong is
entirely a question of geography, be-
ing altered and reversed according to
the points of the compass.

minority of the inhabitants of the

IN GREECE.
Consul Horton, OF Athens, in,a re-
port of the commerce and industries
OF Greece, date September 49, 1895,
gives a number of tables of imports
and exports.
Table No 1 gives a list of the prin-
ciple articles imported by Greece and
of the countries which supplied them
during the year 1894, later statistics
governing this point being unobtain-
able. England heads the list, with a
total of $6,501 241.51, followed by Rus
sia, with S5,569, ,O46.46, over $5,000,000 of
which represents wheat and other ce-
reals. The importa.ions from the
United States amounted to only $685.
1916.
Table No. II shows that the princi-
pal articles of export from Greece are
the Zante currants. minerals, sponges,
and olive oil. England is Greece's best
customer, buying products during the
year 1894 to tho extent of 4275, S26, 60,
while for the same year, the exports to
the United States amounted to only
$i06, 1900.

New York, April 23.-General Smolentz's
brilliant victory of yesterday over the
Turkish forces near Revcni is regarded as
the first jewel in the crown of the former
Grecian minister of war SmolentZ just
missed capturing Edhem Pasha, comman-
der of the Turks on the frontier, and
pushed him in fisht toward Damasi. The
dashing Greek has been promoted from his
late colonelcy. and is now full-i1edgeI
commander, who has had good experience
in battle. When he recently deserted his
portfolio for the field he was placed in
the command Of $4,000 soldiers at Reveni,
which is near the strategic city Of Larissa.

ing privileges to the Christians of Crete;
you may always look for them when
ever some high handed rascality has
been committed by his people and the
foreign governments look sternly at
him. 1t is needless to say that the ex-
Citcment once over you need not look
for the fultillment of his promises"
Public opinion among the Cretans Is
adverse TO the acceptance of any re-
forms. The prevailing opinion at the
meetings of the Cretans is that they
should fight until the union of Crete
with Greece Is accomplished.

war, for Osman Pasha is the highest mill

mander-in-chief On the Turkish forces he
will be given an opportunity to show once

earthworks next to invincble. He is the
most distinguished soldier in all the en-
pire, and one of the most distinguished in
all of Europe. He is now in his siXty-siXth
year and as keen a general as ever He
has not always been victorious, but his
career has been brilliant He came out

brought from London.
Most of the cereals consumed in
Greece are brought from Russia The
value of this import during the year
of 1895 was s5, 1858, ,912.99. The average
price paid for wheat was 3.9 to 4.3 cents
per oke of 24-5 pounds.
There are II steam flour mills at
Pireaus, employing $50 men. The flour
in use, if judged by American stand
ards, is of poor quality.

currants, sponges, cognac, olive oil,
onions, citrons, lemons, soap, emery,

cined magnesite, and fire bricks.

ultimately taking it, and ultimately press

general in his fighting showed, that the

of Europe were not thrown away. He Is
Il native Greek, and is just 45 years old He
spent his youth in the schools of Athens,
and then went aboard to finish his educa-

of artillery. He was then promoted to be

great aptness and his easy mastery of tao
tics He was a prominent figure in the
Crimean war, and during the last Cretan
der of the Turkish forces on the island.
He was likewise head of the army during
the Serbo-Turkish war, and acquitted him
self bravely. When the big war with Rus
sia came Osman was placed in charge of
the Fifth army corps, and he led the troops
at the battle of Scalevitz. The Russians
beat him back in that engagement, and
then Osman retired to Plevna and in
trencbSd himself. For four months he
held his position unmoved, and on Dec.
10, 1871 he surrendered with his army of
43 900 men. Since his fighting days he has
served his emperor in many useful capa-
cities. He had the portfolio of war several
times, and in 1894 he was made grand mar
shall of the imperial palace, and of late
was placed at the head Of the army. He is
DEVOTED to his masters interests, and in
hen the Greeks will undoubtedly find no
easy and submissive opponent.
