persons.
Some Of the scenes were extremely
touching Young and old gathered in
line long before the hour appointed for
the distribution, same carrying baskets
and other receptacles for the food,
which was Of a very. substantial char
after. Every one was given a good
supply and went away happy. The
crowd was a very orderly one, and'
while several policemen were in att
tendance in case their services should
be required, they might as well re-
manned away as no disturbance OF any
kind happened. 1t was a noticeable
circumstance that those who sought
for aid today were. as a rule, people
whose appearance denoted extreme
poverty, the result Of old age or sick
ness. while instances where we'll and
able bodied asked for aid were COM
paratively few. The members of the
Army had an ample supply on hand
and the portions served were very gen
erOus and the baskets We're well filed.
The Army has been AT work Tor sew
eral weeks making preparations for
this event.
At the BOwery mission nearly 10000
men and boys were fed and enter
tanned Various other organizations
supplied all the applicants with cloth
ing and toys for the children. All the
churches held special services. and
with elaborate musical programmes,

The government will never get rich by engaging in the ship brokerage business. At the beginning of the war with Spain it paid Sl, 292, 900 for five vessels which were offered by pri- vats patriots. Since then it has been able to sell these same ships for the sum of S7l0,a00 A simple arith' metical process shows Uncle Sam to be the loser to the extent of S5S2, 900.
