A WASHINGTON BOYS su Jess.
MIR. David Lauck Grayson Appointed
Bankruptcy Referee at ChattnnoOgl.

Washingtonians always rejoice when one
of their number succeeds in some other
community. Many a bright young man
has gone forth from the capital to work
elsewhere in various lines. and almost IN

studying. and for time worked at the
Boston House as shipping clerk, starting
at $l.5O week and rising to higher re-
wards. When he went to Chattanooga his
fortune consisted of law books valued at
SS'o. That he has made good use of this
nucleus is shown by the following extract
from a Chattanooga newspaper, lust re-
ceived in this city:

TOO MUCH FOR SPAIN.
Charles Harke's Opinion of American
Sailors and Soldiers.

Charles Harke, formerly of the marine
barracks in this city, but now an appren-
tice aboard the Yale. has written his
brother Otto q letter descriptive of his ex
perience in the navy since the beginning
of hostilities in Cuban waters.
He says:
"On Board Yale, United States Navy,
"TOMPKINSvILLE, NY, August /, 1898.
America is too much for Spain. You
ought to see the battle ships lying around
in Santiago harbor. 1t is something 1 am
proud of. to fight for the country's honor,
and TO see those soldiers fighting in San
tiago is magnificent. When l left Charles
ton we went back to Santiago. We had
1.ooo soldiers on board, and they were
nice lot of fellows. They had a band on
board and also drum corps. and l Prac-
Santiago the band started up our old
glorious tune, yankee Doodle" and also
the Star Spangled Banner" 1t was early
in the morning, and the bright sun was
just rising over the mountains. You can
imagine how / felt. From that beautiful
place we went to Guantanamo. where the
marines are, and l saw some of the old
marines knew at Washington. They were
all sunburnt, and they must have had
hard time camping From there we took
a trip to land soldiers on the soil of Porto
Rico with a lot Of other transports, in
ciuding the beautiful Columbia, which also
Edu SOlQitTS on BOARD, ana tIaI NiClOi ious
torpedo boat destroyer Gloucester. She is
bird. On our second day out l witnessed
one of the most sorrowfu sights l ever
saw in my life. One of the soldiers died-a
color sergeant-and he was buried in the
sea There was a board put out on the
port side of the Yale leaning over the rail-
toward the water. The body was sewed
up in a bag with about 800 pounds lead
weight and sand, and then placed on the
board with the American flag around 1t,
and the sermon was preached the board
was raised up and the body sent down into
the dark blue sea. That is how a dead
man is buried at sea.
From that point we went straight to
Porto Rico. where the little torpedo boat
destroyer went right up into the harbor
and made landing for the troops. When
she was through with chasing the Span
iards out we landed troops in a hurry
When we got the troops off We started for
New York. and, hully-gee, wasn't ! glad
then; we started Tuesday and did not ar
rive at Tcmpkinsyille, n. Y, until today
which is just one week and day. Earty
in the morning we came in between two
forts; it was a wonderful sight to behold
There is nothing like America.
I'VE are about twelve miles from the
city OF New York. but We will go to New
York and get liberty.

THE SOCIETY WANTS AID
Appropriation of So, 900 Asked for by News
boys and Children's Association.
Annual Reports of President and
superintendent of Charities.

In filing with the superintendent of chari-
ties the annual reportsj of the president and
superintendent of the sNewsboyS and Chill
dren AID Society an appropriation OF
$1,000 is asked in support of the society's
work during the next fiscal year. Refer
ring to this request, Mrs. T. S. Childs, pres
ident of the society, says:
''lf the work for the fifty or sixty in
mates of the Maulsby Home, and the hun
dreds from the streets, is TO be carried on
as 1t should be, this sum is needed for cur
rent expenses, the salaries of the superin-
tendent and teachers, the wages of the en-
pioyes, and fuel, light, food and clothing.
With the present appropriation of 81 COO, as
We Will not run in debt, our work must be
curtalled, and the larger work of providing
home for homeless working boys, which
we mad hoped to take up, must be abandon
ed. Not dollar has ever been given to
this society for which we are not prepared
to give a full account
We should be pleased if the superintend-
ent of charities and the District Commits
sioners would compare the work of this
society and its results with that OF other
organizations which have greater support
behind them and receive larger appropria-
uons from Congress. AS absolutely nom
sectarian, the society has no denomina-
uonai support to fall back upon.
Free From Debt.
1T may properly be added that Congress
has never aided or been asked to aid in
the purchase of buildings for our work,
the whole of our present valuable property
being the gift by legacy of member of
the society. The property, which could
hardly be duplicated for less than $4,000,
is entirely tree from debt. The only aid
we have received from Congress has been
the appropriation tor two or three years
past OF the $1,000 above referred to. We
nave reached point where we must either
arrest our work or receive larger appro-
priation.
The report of Mrs. 3. Mordaunt Wilson,
the superintendent of the home, gives the
following statistics:
we have admitted into the home during
the year l29 boys and girls, of whom %
were wards of the board of children's
guardians; 137 were discharged, of whom
Ill wer wards; = deaths we're recorded
during the year, otherwise the health of
the children was good; IL children left the
institution without permission during the
year, which was small considering the num-
Der received and the character of the chill
dren. One of the IL left three times and
one twice. Boys of sixteen and seventeen
ana OF seventeen and eighteen, if they be-
long to the wayWard class, are apt TO de-
sire greater freedom than it would be wise
10 accord them in either private or pub
lie home. During the last year the boys
adopted the monument grounds as play
grounds, and found them more convenient
than the home grounds; but on rainy days
the boys take indoor exercise in the gym
nasium. The progress of both the boys and
girls in the school has been excellent, and
the home is made bright and attractive TO
the children

Results Achieved.

After describing at length the pleasant
location of the home and its surroundings,
Mrs. Wilson expresses the belief that the
children are made better and nobler by the
opportunities afforded and happier and more
satisfied to remain.

are shown in the treasurer's report:

Duty and the Philippines.
be Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
There is vast amount of discussion as
to what this nation shall do with the
Philippines. I think there can be but one
conclusion in this matter. 1t is not a uIles-
ton to be determined by politicians. by the
supposed effect it may have on their re-
spective parties, whether these islands be
retained or not. 1t is not whether this I'd
ton will be stronger or weaker BY 1etain-
ing them, 1t is question of duty. A
question of right.
The United States declared war against
Spain for God and humanity to relieve an
oppreSs I'll and doWn-trodden people; look
ing at tndt time only to th. relief of the
poor mi;ruleG people of Cuba ,'ke uues-
nation politically or .finanCIaiiy, Aas not
considered; the only question: was shall
we maze the sacrifice for God ami suffer
ing hunanityH The decision was made on
the side OF right, and no Chrisllau man
doubts ior a moment that God has been
on the side If this nation and ha:, given ;ls
greater victory than We thought to achieve
Now, as victory is ours and peace is to
take the place of war, according to terms
of our own debating, do not let US lose
sight of the object of the sauriiice-for war
is indeed a great sacrifice.
If it be right that the poor suffering Gu
bans should be relieved from the terrible
misrule of Spain and be made free under
the protecting arm of this nation, if the
will be made better. more civilized and
happier by the change from the tyranny of
Spain to the freedom of the United States,
If the citizens of Manila or the whole Is
land of Luzon are to receive the benefit of
the sacrifice, then by what manner OF rea-
soning should the inhabitants of the re-
naming islands be shut out?
Is it because they dc. not need the ciyiIiz-
ing influence of the United States? Are
they not, on account of their denser igno-
rance, in greater need than all the others :?
If it was right for us to begin this war to
relieve an oppressed people, if it Is a war
in which this nation is engaged, not for
material gain to this nation but for hu-
manity and the advancement of liberty and
freedom among men and nations we must
suits.
By our wonderful victories on sea and
land God has stamped his approval on this
war. He has given into the keeping of this
nation all those people. Let US not shirk
the responsibility. The same power that
delivered theN(5nto our hands will give us
the ability anS!Sisdom to accomplish every
sincere effort put forth to make them
better and more Godlike. Let the nation
do right before God in this matter and we
will find in the end that all will be well.
