Whatever the charity, let women
share equally with man.
LILLE DENEREUX BLAKE


1t is one of the most pleasing signs
of the times that our millionaires re-
alize their responsibilities, and that
those who have wealth far beyond
their own needs are impressed with
their duty to give of this for the aid
of those less fortunate.
The ancient Jews were taught that
they must donate a 1.-THE of all that
they possessed for the public service.
In India it was held a disgrace for a
Brahmin to be wealthy. In my own
family the custom of the bestowal of
the tenth part of the income in aid of
charity or religion was always main
tanned.
The one rule that / would like to see
observed by those who have not only
wealth but desire to be generous is
that in all colleges, schools o. great
public institutions the benefits shall
not be restricted to the members of
one sex alone, but that women as
we'll as men shall share in the instruc-
ton, the Information or the charity
that may be bestowed.

Here's q plan to develop real patriot
ism and a true conception of civic duty.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY PHILBIN.
There is no doubt, in my Judgment
that Mr.. Carnegie had the correct
theory in mind when he established
libraries in various parts of the Unit
ed States; but l think a more effective
way of carrying out his obvious inten-
ton of develop ng he in i .idu Il to the
advantage of the community would be
to give the opportunity to cultivate a
knowledge and appreciation of gov
ernmental institutions by discussion
among those whose training and Oc-
cupation rendered them reluctant to
undertake their study. This idea could
be carried into practical effect by the
establishment of small social clubs.
Such places could be made thorough
ly democratic in their environments
and occupy the position that the gem
eral store in the country occupies, in
that they would give every opportuni-
ty to the workingmen to discuss ques-
tions of government and matters of
public interest. Such clubs or places
could be. equipped with a small Ii
brary, daily papers and various forms
of indoor amusements- 1t might also
be possible to provide SO that the
workingman could have his glass of
ale, even on Sunday, under such SUI
pervision as would render it practi-
cally impossible for intemperance to
occur.

The railroad which France extend
ed, some years ago, through western
Algeria, from the seaport of Oran to
the town of Ain-Safra, on the south
ern border of that colony, is now be-
ing steadily pushed southwark into the
desert. The road was built to Ain
Safra because that town occupies one
of the numerous breaches in the south
ern mountain ranges leading to the
Sahara and is therefore favorably sit
uated for the extension of a railroad
into the desert Ain-Safra is $50 feet
above the sea and lies on the Saharan
slope its oasis being watered by
perennial stream which flows east to
the wady Namus, whose waters flow
straight south into the Sahara.
The railroad, therefore, has been
pushed eastward along the valley of
the stream that gives life to Ain-Safra;
having reached the Wady Namus,
track-laying has been extended south

GOVERNOR MSwEENEY.
State of South Carolina, Executive
Chamber, Columbia.
If Mr.. Carnegie wishes to use part
of his many millions for the benefit
of the public, I know of no gift that
would be appreciated and do more
good than donations to the orphan
homes in this state, and to the hos
pitfalls in this state. l sincerely hope
that Mr.. Carnegie in his future gifts
will look toward the charitable insti-
tutfons of this state. l know anything
that he would do for them would be
appreciated by the people of South
Carolina.

MAUD BALLINGToN BOOTH.
You ask me what suggestion l could
make as to the disposition of the gem
erous gifts being made by Mr. Carne-
gle and others for the helping of the
public.
l think that it is generally known
that my sympathy has been drawn out
most strongly of late years to the men
incarcerated within the walls of our
prisons. We have some $4,000 men in
New York prisons alone, and the very
fact of their present position bars
their way to future honesty by taking
from them character, confidence and
friends. 1t is a well-known fact that
many of these men on leaving prison
to honestly to reform, but having no
hand to help them and no friends to
give them a start are forced back into
crime until they become known as
habitual criminals by the frequency of
their return to prison.
Great gifts have been given to hos
pitfalls. libraries, orphanages, and char
liable associations, but 1 have yet to
hear of any large sums given to help
this work.
What is needed is a shelter until ex-
prisoners can find work, means to pur-
chase tools. money to pay their first
weeks board and for suitable cloth
ing, and then l believe that so or 90
per cent of all our prisoners would be
thankful for the opportunity to escape
from evil-doing

Build model tenements at low rentals
for the poor.
MRS CLARENCE BURNS.
To my mind, the housing of the poor
is one of the most important problems
of our times and one which especially
invites the attention of philanthrop-
lists.
Take New York city, for example
and I speak from many years expe-
rience in slum work. We have thou
sands of tenements unfit for human
habitation. and yet in these rookeries
you will find twelve and fifteen per-
sons living in three or four rooms.
perhaps all these rooms dark but one
Such conditions breed disease and
crime. which eventually affect the
whole city in various degrees. 1t
speaks well for human nature that I'M
der the circumstances we do not have
more criminals and drunkards
Think of the children born and
reared under such conditions AS
chairman of a public playground
where we have 1000 registered, have
had ample opportunity to observe the
results
From the humane standpoint, then
would recommend that Mr. Carne-
gie's millions be used to erect model
tenements at low rentals for the use
of our poor people. so that they might
at least have some sort OF chance
for health and happiness.

We need fnfrmaries, hospitals and
orphans homes as well as libraries.
GOV. GAMBLER OF GEORGIA
State of Georgia, Executive Office. At
1anta.
| am thoroughly impressed with the
idea that in order to do most good for
humanity and the human race it would
be better for our philanthropists who
are able to do so to spend more of
their money in hospitals and infirm-
aries and orphans homes for destitute
orphans than they have in the past.
The numbers of the poor and of or
phans in almost every section of our
country. and especially in the older
states, are constantly growing larger
and larger. and many are to-day suf-
fering for the want of institutions
such as l have named which could
with more benefit have been founded
with a part of the money which has
been applied to the endowment of
schools for higher education. Very
truly yours, A. d. GAMBLER.
