GALVESTON'S HOMELESS S
MASS MEETING TO BE HELD SUNDAY
TO CONSIDER THEIR CONDITION.
American Red Cross Actively En-
deavOrin& to AmciiOrate the
RigOrs of Want.

The desperate conultion of the homeless
people in Galveston, Tex, who about
to be brought face to face with even more
rigorous necessities when winter comes,
win bc considered Sunday afternoon at :}:,0
O clock at the mass meeting, referred to in
yesterdays Star, to be held in the National
Theater, under the auspices OF the Ameri-
can National Red Cross. The members of
the foreign legations have been invited
and the boxes will be reserved for promi-
nent persons. Invitations will be sent to
distinguished men, including General ----es,
to address the meeting.
The Red Cross auxiliary here has re-
ceived from Mayor Walter c. Jones of Gal
weston "A letter stating that there now
in Galveston 10000 homeless people, hud-
died in tents and wrecked buildings. and
totally without means to build or rent.
A Pathetic Appeal.
An urgent appeal has also been received
from Miss Clara Barton, in the course of
which she pathetically describes the sor-
rowful conditions OF the homeless.
Try to think what that word implies to
the home-loving Anglo-Saxon." she writes
"Three-fourth of these are without the
vestige of a shelter only huddled in with
friend or stranger; not an article that was
ever in the home is left. not one familiar
object to their eyes, not a single earthly
possess sion and often even that is forgotten
in the unspeakable loss of those who went
out with the home.
"Where shall these Wretched people go?
What shall become of them? Many owned
their homes: but for miles and miles along
the coast even the ground is fona and the
restless tide GIBBS and flows over what was
all to them. wen and how shall they find
another home-even small and temporary
sonna place. be it ever so humble that is
once more their own. Some place that
they can be. safe Tor themselves and safe
for their neighbors--for this state of things
cannot long exist with safety to the CITY
ITSELF
1T is this. my good friend and co-worker.
that draws the anxious look over the brows
of these Galveston men-it is this that per
pieXes their committees Johnstoyn had
it's 1900 h mes replaced; Port RoyaI had
it's 4.0O0 little rude huts and homes rebuilt.
Shall Galveston alone remain unshelteredp
Is she not part of the land of the free
and the home of the brave?'
1t is estimated by Mayor Jones that the
sum of !250.a approximately, win he re-
quired to purchase material and build
houses for the homeless who are abso,uteiv

A handsome new ambulance mas just

this city, and Will be used in connection
with his private ambulance service The
new ambulance is a beauty and has at
tracted considerable attention. 1t is

spring washer axles and rubber tires and
contains litter that is adjustable, 50
that the patient can be carried at his
convenience, either sitting up or lying
down. A further convenience is the strap
by means OF which the cot may be raised
entirely Off the floor of the wagon and
thus avoid all jars. The interior OF the
wagon is arranged with shades, 50 that it
may be made as dark as night when
thought necessary.
The ambulance viii be manned by
liveried attendants Joseph Harris, rig
ged out in a gray uniform, will be the
attendant.
The private ambulance service of Mr..
Bennett is a comparatively new scheme,
but has proved a very successful one.

held at Central School yesterday was one
OF the largest and most important the

ter c.. Mercer, who has been chosen
instructor OF music for the city schools,
delivered a lecture, in which he explained
how this branch Of study is to be in
stalled in the schools. He said for some
time the work would only embrace ele-
mentary music, but would gradually grow
until advanced classes OF music are taught
f'o.ioW.ng the address of M. Mercer,
Capt. a. B. Guigon explained the teach
ers' retirement fund, which he said was
to be fund to provide for teachers who
have served their period of usefulness and
have to retire from active work. He said
funds OF this character had been estab-
lished in other cities and had proved sue
cessful and most satisfactory to the
teachers. Major James H. Capers also
advocated the teachers fund, and Su-
perintendeent Fox spoke a some length.
explaining how the fund could be crea-
ted without imposing burdens or the

Catarrh is ca-;ainly becoming national
disease, and there is little doubt bu, that

a very common cause.
