An Admirable Beneficence.

r ~ IS altogether likely that If the
benefaction arranged by John Nj.
Il Burke, a wealthy retired ner-
chant of New York, the details of
which We're announced few weeks
ago. shall prove successful it will open
new avenue of philanthropic effort OF
great usefulness to needful humanity.
Mr.. Burke. it will be remembered.
conveyed to four trustees property OF
the estimated value of 81 .00O0 900 for the
purpose of providing "for the relief Of
worthy men and women, who, notwith-
standing their willingness to support
themselves. have become partly or
wholly unable to do so by reason OF
sickness or misfortune. or who have
been discharged from hospitals before
regaining sufficient strength to assume
their regular employments." While the
plans have not been published in de-
tail. It is known that offices will be
opened in New York city where unfor-
tunates may register for the investi-
cation of their claims and that a home
for convalescents will be established
at Il suitable place. Those who cannot
pay will receive relief free: but those
who feel IL delicacy about receiving
bounty may pay Il small fee, either
during the period of their sojourn or
afterWard. The kind of unfortunate
especially in Mr.. Burke's mind is the
poor but honest person without the aid
of kin. who, being taken III in the city
and having undergone treatment in
free hospital, is put into the street be-
fore strong enough to resume earning
livelihood. COnvalescence at the av-
erase hospital means being able TO
walk without difficulty: but that is by
no means equivalent to being able to
do hard work. Mr.. Burke's aim is to
place his wealth at the disposal of this
class of hapless humanity SO that the
interval between discharge from the
hospital and full return of ability to
work may be bridged without suffering
The problem is plainly beset with ad-
ministrative difficulties. 1t invites inn
position and imposture. Yet this very
fact emphasizes it's necessity and the
good it will do if the administrative
problems shall be solved. These are
naturally greatest in an immense city
like New York, where it IS entirely
possible for deserving poverty in num-
bers to suffer severely unknown to
those who would willingly relieve 1t.
But in some degree they exist in all
cities, and it is reasonable to predict
that IL the Burke benefaction works
out, it will be widely initiated.
