JOY IN LITTLE ITALY.
of Flowers by Mrs. shawhan
and Assistants.

Please, lady, give me a flower"
The speaker was any one of a hundred
little dirty-faced children down on Third
or Fourth street last night while the week.
ly distribution of flowers by the Helping
Hand institute took place. Still, it is
hardly fair to say "drty-faced" in all
cases, for among the Russian Jew settle.
ment on Third street, where most of the
children attend the Helping Hand kinder
garten. the faces were not all dirty, and
nearly all remembered to say, THANK
you," when the bouquet was presented.
The weekly distribution of flowers by the
Helping Hand occurs each Wednesday
evening. The children of the slums dis
trict have come to know the night, and all
B. E. Shawhan, and whoever may happen
to accompany her, arrives, and then 1t is
bedlam, pandemonium, a tower Of Babel
Little Italy was visited, and it was ali

of their buildings and the street was in
Not always were the children choice in
the language they used in making their re-
quests.
a! hain't had none, mister. Honest to
me one, If you don't want to mix up with
me- said another, with tough swagger
But, in the main, while they yelled like
demons, the children returned thanks for
the pretty flowers. These weekly bouquets
are the only green things most of the chill
| dren ever see. except for the grass in City
Hall park Some of them have gone on
the fresh air excursions to Budd park and
elsewhere. but many have never seen a
tree or green field.

Helping Hand quite as much as the chill

to so around, they are given to the oldest

There was but one exhibition of ingrati-
tude last night. In Little Italy one Of the
boys received a bouquet and scampered off
to show it to his father, but the wretch
instead of admiring it. cuffed and cursed
the boy for accepting the flowers. and sent
him into the shed called home with a SHARP
box on the ears. 1t is not often that such
| scenes occur to mar the pleasure of these
| tute.
1t frequently happens that there are not
enough bouquets to go around and but one
settlement is usually visited each week.
Last night, however, the flowers came from
| the Kings Daughters, of Gardner Kas..
and there was enough and to spare Mr..
| and Mrs. A. 7. Brigham and Miss Maggie
Carpenter assisted in the distribution.

Texa. Flour DifrerentiaI.

1t was stated yesterday that the main OBJ
ject of the fund being created by the Mill
ers, in convention at Wichita, is to fight
the arbitrary of 5 cents per 100 pounds
above the wheat rate, that they are COM
PEELED to pay On all shipments of flour des-
tined to Texas points. This is in addition
to the fight they have before the inter-
state commerce commission.
H. G. Wilson, assistant general freight
agent of the Kansas City, Fort Scott &
Memphis, talked knowingly on delays in
transit" and during the course of his talk
made favorable illusions to the advantages
of the Gulf ports. He also talked of guar
anteed sailings," and showed conclusively
the futility and worthlessness of such a
guarantee. The steamship companies were
all foreign corporations, and could not be
held under the laws of the United States,
If they gave guarantee, which they would
not.
Mr.. Wilson is one of the best posted men
in the Western country on foreign traffic,
and whatever he may have to say on the
subject is received with great deal of
difference, as his acquaintance with the
subject is practically unlimited.

Flag Pulled Down.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Brigadier Gen.
eral Rosser who has just reached Wash
ington from Cuba, called at the White
House to-day. General Rosser has been
mustered out and is on his way home to
Virginia. When asked about Cuban affairs
he. said: Many things are moving along
smoothly but there is almost universal
complaint about the enforcement of tariff
rules and laws at Havana. The trouble
of course is that military men have not
ent officials fix different duties on goods
When asked about the sentiment for an
neXation, General Rosser said: No man
on the island with a dollars worth of prop
erty ever wants to see the United States
flag pulled down. They know it would mean
anarchy, chaos and persecution"

Commissioner Powderly attributes this
large increase in immigration during the
last fiscal year to a number of reasons.
The victorious war with Spain served to
attract favorable notice of the United
States throughout Europe. and the return
of prosperity is, he thinks. also in a large
measure responsible for the influx from
abroad.
Within the past two months, there have
been many inquiries by intending immi-
grants as to the location of agricultural
lands In various parts of the country, in
dicating that many of those coming here
contemplate making that their avocation
The commissioner has heretofore recon-
mended to congress, and will do SO again
in his next annual report that the govern
ment immigration bureau avail itself of
the benefits of the labor bureaus and fac
! tory inspection work in the several states,
50 that the office here may intelligently
aid immigrants In locating In communi-
ties where there is demand for the labor
they are capable of performing.

Sabine Pass Railroad.

1t was stated positively yesterday by a
gentleman in a position to know what he
was talking about, that the railroad from
Sabine Pass to a connection with the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad near
Port Arthur would be built and that 1t
would be a cash transaction. The money
was on deposit and the surveyors were in
the field.
The policy of the receivers of the Pitts
burg & Gulf in making any contracts that
will rebound to the benefit of the property
has been stated in no uncertain language
and the assurances given the promoters
of the Sabine Pass road has led to imme-
diate action.
