One OF the main faults of the existing
system is its general want of differentia-
ton in treatment between those who are
the mere accidents of adverse circum-
stances and the class OF loafers who are
content to make workhouse their per-
manent home. The remedy would pro-
pose is one that will make the reduced
number OF warehouses so many indus
trial asylums. (Cheers.) Iwould trans
torn the whole degrading character OF
the present institutions into one of regu-
lated industry in which every inmate
should have chance OF earning little
for him or herself and Of contributing
something towards their own mainte-
nance. This assistance towards self help
is the best kind OF relief, as it serves the
end of a humane purpose without caus-
ing injury to the feeling OF personal in
dependence which it ought to be the OBJ

Nationally utilized, the potential in

people feeble in body and mind, could
be developed and applied under the

There are multitude OF small industries

an organized community OF workers

Pictures OF Aguinaldo and the Fill
pino flag were cheered in New York
city on the evening of May "a, at ar
illustrated lecture on the Philippines
their natives and the administration
policy toward them.
The lecture was given before the Peo-
pies club, in their rooms at Seventh
street and Third avenue, by Sergeant
Fritz Andrae and Private William H.
Reeves, Jr., lately official photographers
in the United States volunteer signal
corps.
About 400 persons were in the hall, OF
whom perhaps 50 were women When
the stereopticon threw the pictures OF
the Filipino leader and Of his flag on the
screen about hundred people vigor-
ously Kissed. 1t seemed that the rest of
the audience united in cheering, and that
the volume OF cheers drowned the sibi-
lance OF the kissing.
Andrae and Reeves say they returned
from Manila on the Valencia, arriving
at San Francesca in March last, ill with
fever Recovering, they prepared their
lecture, Stirring Scenes from the Phi
lippines," from the many pictures they
took there. They have delivered the
lecture in Brooklyn and elsewhere, and
they say Charles Sprague Smith, of
Carnegie hail. arranged for their ap-
pearance before the Peoples club, an
educational institution in which some
prominent people are interested.
Andrae managed the lantern. Reeves
did most of the talking. He declared
that the Filipinos are civilized, indus
trious and peaceable until they are at
tackled He told how the trouble with
the insurgents began, and said that the
United States, in whose army he served,
was responsible for the war;
1t was plain that most OF the audience
synlpathzed with the position Reeves
took, but there was no demonstration
until Aguinaldo's picture was flashed
before them. After the pictures had been
shown Reeves and Andrae said they
would answer any questions about the
Philippines, and the opposing parties in
the audience fired at them argumentative
questions which proved that most OF
those present opposed the continuance
OF the war against the insurgents.
