POOR PORTO RICO.
Wife of Gen. Henry Makes an Appeal
For Help.

New York, July 2O.-NIrs. Guy v.
Henry wife Of Gen. Henry, U. S. A,
who was with her husband in Porto
Rico during the time that he served as
military governor of that island, ad
dressed a large meeting Of down town
business men last night
Business is at a StandStiu in that
island" said Mrs. Henry, land the
people are very poor. The sugar mills
have no one In them except half a doz-
en- people. The women are poor and
idle. There is no work for them to do.
There are many women in Porto Rico
who were supported by pensions from
the Spanish government. That has been
taken away from them and there is
much poverty in Porto Rico:
THE question now it: What shall
we do with our new colonies? Send
them, I say, our very best. Let US not
look to Great Britain to see what she
has done in India. Let US act as a
country for ourselves. Let US send the
very best of every thing that we can
give-the best of every profession, the
best of everything in commercial
must do this work at once; that it can
be done by putting our shoulders to the
wheel, the same as the aid society did
down in San Juan.
Il have been told that I must not
say they are starving in Porto Rico, but
you may find out that before l get
through. When Gen. Henry and went
TO the capital of Porto Rico, San Juan,
for help there and we decided to start
an aid society. We sent our appeals to
the army and navy men and women
down there. In response to our appeals
some 20 or 80 women assembled for the
purpose Of organizing a relief or aid
society.
I suggested that it would be we'll
to start a society for the poor, a society
which would be nOn-SeCtarian and one
which would afford relief to the needy,
no matter of what class or condition.
I impressed upon them that we would
have to work very carefully, very
patiently and earnestly; that we had no
funds except those that We might raise
ourselves. The response was wonder
ful.
with the money we raised we
bought goods which were turned into
dren as fast as the 20 to 80 women in
the society could turn them out It
was absolutely impossible t9 meet the
demand for relief At this meeting so
pressing was the demand that we had
to close our doors. We had no money
and little strength During the three
days in which our doors were closed all
the women worked very hard, turning
over as much as they could In this
way we supplied as best we could the
urgent demands for relief"
General Henry supplemented his
wife's address by the brief statement
that the great need of the Porto Ricans
was education and the opportunity to
help themselves They wanted to be-
come Americans, he said. but they did

FITZ AND MCCOY.
Little Possibility of Match Between
the Two Fighters.

New York, July 20.-There is very little
hope or possibility of a match between
Kid Mccoy and Bob Fftzsimmons. This
statement is based on inside knowledge Of
the efforts to arrange a match. Several
misleading statements have been sent out
from FitzsimmOns' camp, and they are
circulated to create the impression that
Fftz would make a match in due time and
on fair terms, but the cunningly cOntrtved
utteranceS were sent out to create a delay
and lull any threatened newspaper discus
sion of the proposed match.
A couple of weeks ago B. H. Benton,
who was interested in Mccoy, returned to
Boston and put himself in communication

PROTEST BY COLORED MEN.
Prominent Negroes Against Expan-
sion and the Presidents Policy.


Washington, July 2O.-Edward Atkin-
sons plan to enlist cOlored voters
against the administration on the cry
Of anti-expansion does not receive the
unanimous approval OF leading cOlored
men here. CoIored office holders refuse
to recognize Edward Atkinson as their
leader, preferring to stand by the adj
mfnistratiOn and retain their positions
under the government.
Three of the leading office holders
hurried to the White House early this
morning to assure the president that
the cOlOred political leaders could be
relied upon to stand by the adminiStra-
ton. The delegation consisted of Jud-
son Lyons, register of the treasury, who
was an unsuccessful aspirant for the
post maSterShip in Augusta, Ga; former
Representative Cheatham of North
Carolina, now recorder Of deeds for the
District of Columbia, and John P. Greel,
United States stamp agent in this city.
The president appeared to be highly
gratified by the assurance of his ViSi-
tors. COlOred men who are not govern
ment Office holders discuss the subject
with greater independence and in a
somewhat different spirit. Prof. Kelley
Miller of Howard university said:
while I do not thing the movement
to organize the cOlOred people into ag-
gressive opposition to the political pol
{cies of the administration will amount
to very much, doubt whether there IS
a single intelligent AfrO-American in
the country who has the heart to con-
denim AguinaldO and the cause he rep
resents. do not think there is a single
colOred man out of Office and out of the
insane asylum who favOrs the sO-called
expansion policy. Whether or not they
will organize under the banner of Mr..
Atkinson is another question. I do not
think we are yet ready for a departure
so radical
Dr. c. B. Purvis Of the Freedmen's
hospital said: I am not in favor of
expansion and I know very few of our
people who are. We would dislike to
see such a mistaken policy put into
practice over half-civilized races, as
has been saddled upon the negro in our
country Still, I doubt whether Mr..
Atkinson will receive the support from
the cOIOred people which he antici-
pates."
A H. Grimke, formerly consul to San
to Domingo, said: Il know that the
expansion policy of the administration
is very unpopular with the negroes.
The absolute supineness of the chief
executive on the subject of negro lynch
ings makes them shudder for other peO-
pie who may come under the yoke"

A novel and interesting scene vas

Mimi, a thriving little town, situated
about 60 miles north of Minneapolis,
on the Mississippi river, states a writ

woman lost her home by fire. The
home was not insured. The family
consisted of son about 20 years of
age and two daughters The son work

one of the girls contributed also to the
support of the parents, but the income
was small. How to rebuild the home

consideration, the son arranged with a
building and loan association for suffi-
cient money to purchase lumber and
other material, and with the aid of
some friends, who helped him at cGd
times, he began the work of rebuilding
the home. But as he worked practical
ly single-handed and alone, he made
slow progress, and it soon became evil

home could not be finished for occu-

of the illcut and generally bad style?
OF course you have, and also, I dare
say, you remember her opposite, the
girl or woman in a frock of simple
serge, or cloth, or cashmere, yet so ex-
quisitely cut and in such perfect style
that it commanded admiration from
everybody who understood what good
dressing really is. Therefore, do rot
put down this column with a despond-
ent, "Oh, she always describes such ex-
pensive gowns and cloaks!" but pause
and think for a minute: ''How can I
copy that in inexpensive material so as
to obtain the best results?" Space is
limited and I cannot always suggest to
you how you may best do this, but, for
example. the cloak l am about to de-

richest sapphire-bl velvet, and, Ivy

of material. The next thing to be
thought of is the lining, and here I
would recommend the substitution of
the paiest silver gray for the white en-
ployed in the original This will look

twice as well, since it does not soil quite

good satin ribbon for the long ends

New York, Jan. 24.-Many of the new
evening and dinner gowns are cut out
over a lace guimpe and have lace
sleeves to match, which are often so
long that they fall to the fingers; no
gloves are worn with them and this
permits the wearing of very handsome
rings.
These new sleeves are coming very
much to the fore and are becoming
alike to plump and to very slight arms
They transform simple gown into an
elegant one, and are one of the pref
test fancies of the fashions of to-mor-
row.
Nothing is so acceptable to woman
of any age as a detail of the toilette
which she can make herself and which
will give a coquettish variety to her
daily apparel. The triumphant Chou"

and can be made easily by the help of
our illustration, which also shows how
to- utilize it when finished. To create
them, one of these flower-like bits Of
