WHISPERING ANGELS.
In the Hour of Need Two Birmingham Ladies Assist a Destitute Woman
 and Her Three Pretty Children.

:. Yesterday afternoon 1t was again dem onstrated that the noble hearted ladies sof Birmingham are ever watchful that no deserving subject for charity is turned away unattended to from their portals
 A woman. who. from her general ap- pearaneer and conversation. gave un- doubted evidence that she had seen bet ter days, and that, through a compllca- ton of Unfortunate circumstances, found heFzelf in a very unpleasant position, a rrived in the ely on the noon Southern train. She had with her three small chill dren, the eldest one hardly 5 years of age, and the youngest one babe in arms. ss aa-.
 She was compelled to wait over until 2 .o' clock this morning for connections with the train 70 take her to her parents home in Clinton, La. As she sat in the ladies waiting room at the depot she attracted the attention of two noble-hearted ladies' ministering angsls in an hour of need. These ladies were Mesdames George Heidleberg and John Hines.
 The dejscted and forlorn appearance of the woman attracted their attention The pretty, brighl,-eyed little girl. not yet 6 years old. talked freely to the ladies, and 1t was through her that they were in- formed of the mothers des titute condi- ton. They at once approached the wo- man and learned the unfortunate story.
 She was Mrs. J. l.. Braun, of Richmond, Va, and was on her way to Clinton, La. to make her home with her father until hen husband in Richmond was able to re pair recent serious lcsses. About six weeks ago a fire destroyed their home and heir all. There was no insurance, and the Savings of years vanished in an hour. The Brauns found themselves des- rftute, while the husband was unable to support his family on account of illness. Kind friends assisted them, and secured pass for Mrs. Braun and her three chil- drefl to her fathers home in Louisiana. :. What little money the unfortunate wo- man had when she left Richmand was spent for something for the little ones to eat. for her appearance showed that she had neglected herself for her children.
 The Birmingham ladies recognized the fact tha. 1t would not do to allow the woman and her children to remain all night in the depot. and Mrs. Heidelberg went out to secure place for them to sleep She went to the Metropolitan ho- tel and explained the womans condition to MT. Natan Frsleych, the clever and big g-hearted day clerk. He would not re- ceivle any money from the ladies and do- mated the use of room for the mother and her children.
 While Mrs. Heidle berg was securing a room Mrs. Hines went out, and. among the Liberal minded depot attaches and O her charitable people. raised small purse, which she gave Mrs. Braun.
 In the office of the Metropolitan hotel Mrs, Braun, in conversing with a State Herald, representative thanked the mo- ble-hearted ladies for their generous act in nc unmistakable terms.
 She will leave the city this morning for the home of her parents in Louisiana, while her heart goes out in thanksgiv- ing to the ladies who SO nobly assisted her, and ito the hotel management for is generosity.
