MRS. PISCO's MISSION.
To Secure Aid for Denver Hospital
for COnsumptives.

To Secure Aid for Denver Hospital
for COnsumptives.
Mrs. S. Pisco of Denver, who is in Sa-
vannah in the interest of the National
Jewish Hospital for Consumptives, ad-
dressed quite a large part of the congre-
cation of the Mickva Irael Temple, yester-
day afternoon, telling them of the work
of the hospital and also of the Jewish
societies OF this country, of the greater
number of which she is a member She
was introduced to the congregation by a
letter written by another wel-known lady
connected with the charity work of Dem
yer, which was read by Mrs. S. L. Laza-
ron.
Mrs. Pisco is an excellent speaker and
talked Interestingly of the work of the
different associations with which she is
allied. particularly of the national con-
ventions of the Council of Jewish Women.
and the national conference of Jewish
Charities. OF this latter organization she
gave interesting details, some of them
statistical, of its work. and read to her
audience a paper on the Progress Of
Jewish Charities" which she had read be-
fore the National Conference of Jewish
Charities in Chicago.
Mrs. Pisco's visit is prompted because,
the hospital is not abe to accommodate
all those that apply for places ard who
are really in need of its shelter and med
zeal attendance; so it is desired by those
in charge of the charity that 1t be en-
larged. In order to do this and to con-
tinue the support of the larger institu-
ton It is necessary that they have larg-
er income than Is enjoyed at present, and
1t Is to secure subscriptions that Mrs
Pisco is on her present tour.
This afternoon from o'clock to 7, Mrs
Pisco will be given a reception at the
home of DIR. and Mrs. I. p. Mendes by
the ladies of the congregation of the
Temple.

Harry L. Suydam in Frank Leslie's Pop
ular Monthly.
Frank Reid. says Harry L. Suydam, in
his interesting recollections of the noto-
rious Boss of Skaguay, in Frank Lesles
Popular Monthly for January, former
surveying partner of mine, had long been
one of the deepest thorns in "Soapy's"
flesh. He was standing guard at this time
on one of the long wharves of the city,
when "Soapy" saw him and determined
to make an example of him. Most of the
gang were drawn up in front of his Klon-
dixie saloon, and 'Soapy" made them a
little speech ending up by saying that
he might as well lIilf>Reid and have done
with 1t. Then he took his rife down from
a peg and started for the wharf. The
crowd followed and Reid soon recogniz-
ed who they were. There were two hun
dred of them, while Reid was alone with
his one Colts revolver. There was one
thing for a brave man to do, and Reid
did 1t. 1t was no use calling out, for
assistance was beyond his reach. SO, like
a cornered lion Reid started to meet the
murderous mob, and the moment he got
within pistol range he took steady aim
at "Soapy'' and drew the trigger. The
sound OF steel striking on steel was the
only response. the weapon had missed
nre. Again helu pulleu lUe trigger OF ms
self-cocking revolver, and again there
was no report. Then IL was "Soapy's'
turn. He drew his winchester to his
shoulder and fired. Reid fell but as he
lay on the ground he raised his revolver
once more and this time II did not fail
him Two bullets reached the mark. and
"Soapy" fell forward dying, while the
timorous mob scattered in dismay. Not
one OF them stayed 20 ease his mortality
wounded leader, and "Soapy" and Reid
were left to die together I'm a lonely place
Twenty OF "Soapy's" gang were speedily
corralled. and told TO remain and stand
trial for their crimes or board the steam
er Tartar at once. and never set foot 10
Skaguay again. Every man of them chose
the latter alternative.
