Max MulIer's Father.

My father belonged TO the post Goethe
period, though Goethe (died 1882 sur.
viyed him. He was born in 1874, and
died in 1927, and yet in that short life
he established lasting reputation not
only as a scholar, but as q most popu-
lar poet. His best known poems are the
"Griechenlieder," the Greek songs
which he wrote during the Greek war
of independence. These Greek songs, in
which his love of the ancient Greeks is
mingled with his admiration for heroes
such as KaDaris, Marcos Bozzaris and
others who helped to shake off the
Turkish yoke, produced deep imprS's
sion all over Germany. perhaps becas e
they breathed the spirit of freedom a: !
patriotism. which was then systemat
ally repressed IN Germany itself
Greeks never forgot the services reno -
ed by him in Germany, as by Lord By
ron in England, in rousing feeling of
Indignation against the Turk. and as
the marble for Lord Byron's monument
in London was sent by some Greek ad-
mirers of the great poet. the Greek par
lament voted a shipload of Pentelican
marble for the national monument erect
ed to my father in Dessau. His lyrical
poems also are well known all over Ger

with her children, in q pleasant cottage on
| the main street of the village Introducing
ourselves We stated the nature of our errand,
that we had heard. of a remarkable cure in
her family and that we would esteem II a
favor if she would kindly give US the facts
/ in the case. A bright eyed little miss,
apparently about Is years of age, was look

creeping over her face as the mother point

THAT is the patient. She does not look

us the following story, which, as nearly a.

sick on that day. As nearly ~ We could
tell. the trouble seemed TO be soa,e infiam-
nation Of the bowels, kidneys and perhaps
even more general. At any rate, the case
seemed to battle our physician eomnletely
and the child grew steadily worse.
AT the end of Is days infiammatory rheu-
matism set in and dropsy also, causing her
the most intense suffering. She became
very badly bloated. For nearly two months
the poor child was bandaged in cotton from
head 10 foot We had four physicians and
they called fifth and then held a eonsuiia-
tion. At the close of this, their conclusion
was that the child would never he able 10

matter of a few days
by this time the glands of her neck had
become greatly swollen and she coughed
night and dsy. She also became so greatly
emaciated that ! do not think she would
have weighed 40 pounds. Her lower limbs
seemed partially, nearly wholly, paralyzed
she could not use them at all. We had
practically given up all hope, the physi-
clans had discontinued their visits and We
were simply waiting for death.

there were none among them. They
were of class like the wharf rats and

were of all shades of color, from the

brown and hook nosed kurd and the

faces were a study Of fearful passions.
There were faces scanned and SCARED

distorted by malice and greed; faces
scared, as by fire, case hardened in ig-

as an angry tiger. Some Of those faces
burned their way into my memory and

We herewith submit 10 your Honor
able Court and Grand Jury the 47th
annual report of the House of Employ
ment of Somerset county.
Another year has been numbered
with the past; TO some il has been a
year of disappointment and failure, and
10 others full of pleasure and success.
How well We have filed the high Of
flee intrusted TO Us and what success
We have made in the distribution of
your charities, you must Judge; but
whether it meets with approval or not
sufficient to-say We have conscientious
ly endeavored TO faithfully discharge
the onerous duties OF the office as Di-
rectors of the Poor.
Charity and the dispensing of il is
one of the leading problems of the day.
We are 80 thoroughly the creatures of
circumstances and environment that
our very thoughts as well a. our lives
are governed thereby. The person who
has only known life of ease and lux
ury, and has never come in contact
with the actual suffering and distress
of the poor, can not possibly know
their needs. Neither can ssIch person
agree with the poor in their IDEAS as 10
the best method of ameIiorating their
condition or eradicating the evils which
have served to produce the existing
conditions.
Charity is the impulse of a generous
mind, and while the people in general
are willing, Yea anxious that suitable
provisions be made for the poor, they
are not in sympathy with those Who
labor and give their time and best en-
ergies TO care for and relieve them for
a mere pittanee, but are prone 10 criti-
else and even repeat stories that, per-
chance, haye been spread 10y an un-
grateful and debased and absconded
pauper. They forget the true meaning
of charity, the impulse of a generous
mind, which thinketh no evil, doeth
noevil, but whose heart and hand are
open to the care and protection of their
fellow-man
We realize the fact that there have
been mistakes made in the manage
ment of the home, bot we believe the
hcme for the Poor of Somerset county.
and the managing of il, will compare
favorably with any other in the State,
with more than comparatively less
expense.

These miners declare their intention of
calling an indignation meeting imme edi-
ately upon their arrival at Seattle, and
say they will let the people of the United
States know Just how their friends in far
off klondike are treated.
In addition 10 the total lack of food the
equally serious problem of securing shell
ter for the winter stares these people in
the face. Fully half of the 5000 people in
Dawson at present are living in tents.
They can do so during the hot summer
months, but with the thermometer 40 to
go degrees below zero living in canvas
house is impossible. Lumber commands
fabulous prices. Logs which in that re-
gion mean poles four to six inches in di-
ameter sell from 81 10 SIS a piece in Daw-
son. So poor man might as well return
to civilization and undertake the construc-
tion of brownstone mansion as to think
of putting up a cabin IN Dawson. He
cannot go out and cut the material for
home, for it has to be hauled or tioated
fifteen 10 twenty miles. The hotels now
open and two others that will soon be
completed will accommodate but an in
significant fraction of those who will de-
mand shelter.
AS though famine and frost were not
sufficient evils to heap upou those poor
fellows dread typhoid has been breaking
out in Dawson. and at last accounts from
there it was raging with appalling viru-
lence. Hundreds OF cases have been re-
ported, number of which have proven
ia tai.
To battle with this scourge there is but
one regular pracucing physician in the
place.

PROVISIONS FOR DAWSON
Transportation Companies Figure
That They Can Feed Eight
Thousand Miners.

1t is not possible at this time TO make an
accurate estimate of the number of min
ers and the quantity of provisions at Daw-
son. When the steamer Excelsior arrives
the Alaska Commercial Company will be
tons of supplies that will be got to Daw-
son before the ice closed the navigation
of the Yukon. The quantity of supplies
at St. Michael when the season opened,
together with the amount forwarded since,
is estimated at 5000 tons.
1t is conjectured that the other trans
portation company had a similar guam
titv, but there is no way of ascertaining at
present as to how much has gone UP the
river or whether all the steamers carrying
goods can get to Dawson before the river
closes.
There is a fair prospect that the Alaska
Commercial Company's boats will get
1000 tons to Dawson. and the other line
may do as well. This would make 5000
tons, or supplies sufficient to sustain 5000
miners until the opening of the river next
season.
1t is calculated that many of the gold
seekers going across Chilcoot Pass and
others going through White Pass will get
to the Klondike before winter sets in, but
they will rely on purchasing supplies in
Dawson to carry them through until next
spring. While many have been going in,
others are coming out by way of the
Yukon to st. Michael, so the addition to
the popula zion at Dawson may not be as
great as apprehendcd.
