A CHARITY WAIF.
Little George Fowler Deserted BY His
Mother In New York.
Father Left Hin 4 Legacy, but Hs Cannot
Secure II Until He Is 21.

New York, June 20.--There Is a ro-
manc in the life OF George w. Foster.
a child of eight years. Although an
father, which occurred when the boy
was a baby I'm arms, he has never
known the luxury or comforts Of a
home such az the ample legacy could
well provide. He is now an inmate OF
Father Drumgoole's home on Staten
Island.
William Fowler, the father OF the
boy, was well-to-do merchant at ST.
John, N. Il. He died six years ago.
leaving considerable OF an estate. His
only heir was the baby George. Mrs.
Fowler, the widow. and her baby came
to New York soon after Mr.. Fowler's
death. After she had been here a rev
weeks Mrs. Fowler took the baby to
Mrs. Agnes Shannon, OF 444 East Twen-
tjeth street, a woman who poaroeu
children.
Mrs. Fowler told Mrs. Shannon that
she was contemplating marriage, tnat
the prospective husband desired her 10
be relieved at once OF the burden or
caring for Baby George, inasmuch az
she was going on a long ocean voyage
She wished Mrs. Shannon 10 take care
OF George, and stipulated 10 pay siZ 4
month for his board The agreement
was made. Mrs. Fowler went away
and has never since been heard from.
Mrs shannon had taken the precau-
ton to inquire definitely about the pa
rentage and relations OF the baby. Mrs.
Fowler candldly admitted that she was
the child's mother, that its father was
well known in st. John, n. b., and tnat
the baby had been christsned IN the
name of it's uncle. George w. Fowler.
Mrs. shannon ascertained that the
uncle Is a prominent barrister in st.
John. and I'm the course OF two years,
not having heard from the mother OF
the child. Mrs. shannon communicated
with the uncle.
In reply to Mrs. Shannons letter
George w. Fowler acknowledged his re-
latIonship TO the child as Mrs. Fowle'
had stated. and added that an estat>
had been left by the baby's father
which George would come In possessioA
of when he reached manhood.
This letter established fully the iden.
titv OF the boy and is proof existing oi
his claims TO the property. Other let
ters in which the uncle offered To pay
$50 a year for the support or the boy
are In existence.
Mrs. shannon was SbTlChSh WIZ
fatal illness last March. Shortly before
her death Mrs. Shannon called to her
bedside her two lifelong friends. Mrs
Mary Falkner of No. All East Twenty
second street. and Mrs. Jane McWrig-
gin of No. 603 East Jersey street, Eliza
bethport. ~. J. The dying woman gave
Mrs Falkner the letters Establishing
the identity of the boy, and told them
his history.
subsequently Mr.. R. Blewett. boss
truckman OF East Twenty-fourth stree'
called on Mrs. Falkner. saying he came
from Father Phelan and procured ths
several letters so valuable now I'm es'
tablishing the identity OF the boy. These
letters Mrs. BlAwett turned over u
Father Pendergast. pastor OF TN
Church of the Epiphany. on Second
avenue. who now has them in his pos
session Father Pendergast had th'
boy sent TO Mount Loretto.

Som, Reforms authorized.

Among the reforms authorized by
these imperial edicts were the abolish

tion, the establishpeni OF university

kin. the establishment OF a board for
the translation OF books on Western
learning into Chinese. the establish
ment Of a patent Office. the abolshment
of useless Offices in buth Pekin and the
provinces, the protection OF Christiani-
Fy. the sending abroad OF young Man
chus for study and the adoption OF the
Reform Paper as the orfical organ OF
the government.
I'm addition to issuing these splendid
edicts. the emperor went so far as to
discuss with his advisers the desira-
bility of adopting Christianity as the
national religion. He spent much time
ir the daily study OF the Bible. and il
was no secret I'm the palace that he fire.

10 the true God. When thus engaged the
eunuchs had strict orders that he must
not be disturbed or interrupted. His
attitude toward Christianity Is shown
by the following interesting incident.

What does Your Majesty think OF
the religion of the West?'
What mean you by religion the
emperor answered. There is no religion
but thai of God. III you have any other
religion let me hear YOU explain il to

THE emperor ana some OF the chief
reformers were convinced of the truth
of Christianity and they were almost.
If not altogether. persuaded TO accept

The bright hopes were crushed by
the Empress Dowager, who. acting on
the Misrepresentation OF the conssrva-
tive party. beheaded six Of the reform
ers on September 2s without trial. i'm
prisoned some for lifc, cashiered others
from the public service. suppressed all

Old Koi Regret 0salh.

This is cause of profound sorrow
10 all true friends of China, but the
impetus given TO all kinss of reform
and Improvement cannot be stayed.
