level of high society" it is refreshing
TO know that there is one place in this
broad land Of ours where the lack of
this commodity is the condition which
makes the unfortunate most welcome.
This is a lodging house for the destitute
ia the city Of New York, a municipal
charity, where any penniless man or
woman can secure supper a nights
lodging and breakfast and be sent On
his way the next morning refreshed
with two good substantial meals and a
comfortable nights sleep, to seek en-
nloyment. All that is required of the
dodgers is that they be sober and order

given a nights lodging and then ques-
Toned as to their condition, prospects,
etc and in each cas- the superintendent
tries to put the person in the way Of
securing a position.
Many people go to this house in the
evening penniless, out of work, tired
down by the ceaseless tramp of the city

TO desperation. They leave it the next
morning fortified for a renewal of the
battle of life by two good meals, n

Tais is the right kind of charity
that which does not foster idleness, but

the last six years nearly half a million
persons have been fed and sheltered il

LIBEL SUIT CONTINUED
Interesting Deposition AS to the
Liquor Traffic Received From
prcsbyferian Officfol

BY stipulation the libel suit of the Rev.
Louis Richter against The North and West
Publishing company has been continued
to- the September term.
An interesting deposition was received
this morning from William Henry Rob
erts, stated clerk Of the general assembly
OF the Presbyterian church since 1884. He
was one of the editors Of the Presbyterian
Digest containing the acts and decisions
OF the general assembly from 1889 to 1897
and is chairman Of the permanent COM
mittee to supervise all editions of the
constitution of the Presbyterian church.
= Mr. Roberts has made a study of the
constitution and proceedings of the church
for twenty-five years and is an undoubted
authority. His deposition srecites in some
detail the form Of government of the
church. defines the authority of the gen
eral assembly, gives the oath of ordina-
ton, and quotes the resolutions of the
general assembly on the liquor question.
The resolutions adopted at Pittsburg in
May. 1865; Chicago, May. 1877. and New
York. May, 1889, take the view that the
retailer Of intoxicating liquors is the
proxlmate agent in tempting men to drink
and in forming the appetite for strong
drink. The sessions are called upon to
reject persons who engage in the manu-
facture or sale of Intoxicating LIQUORS.

The mystery attached to the removal of
the little brick and frame shack from
the street at First avenue and Seventh

Seventh street and Second avenue S, some
time Friday night, is still unsolved. The
council fire committee, with the Sfth ward
aldermen added, tried to get at the facts
this morning, but failed, and contented
themselves with refusing the application
OF the owner to locate the building on a
lot opposite where 1t stands. I'll.
The building in question formerly stood
at Seventh street and First avenue S. It
became necessary, recently, to remove it,
but the owner, J. M. Heath, would not
agree to locate it outside the fire territory

to give removal permit.
Nevertheless, the building was put on
wheels and started for somewhere about
two weeks ago. 1t got only as far as the

Admiral Schley said to-day, speaking
OF the informal invitation that has been
extended to him, that it would be impos-
sible for him tov attend the Minnesota
state fair next September
He arrived in WASHINGTON last night
from a trip south. Mrs. Schley is now i'll,
and the admiral has therefore decided
that he will take a rest after May 80, un-
til October. His time is fully engaged
for this month, and because of Mrs.
Schley's health he has decided to rest all
summer. .,-,...... $500, ...
while approaching the kindness and
cordiality of the people of Minnesota in
wanting to have me attend the state fair
in September, it will be an impossibility,
said the admiral to-day. Il find that Mrs
schley cannot stand these frequent trips,
and the rush and hustle incident to- the
entertainment offered us. During our
southern trip, just completed, she was ill
for couple of days and is completely
tired out and in need of a long. rest,
which shall see that; she gets : tlaa !
My present plan is to rest at some re-
sort on the coast this summer, and not
go to any interior point at all. / had
thought OF going to Yellowstone Park in
July, in which event would have been
glad to stop at several places in Mime
sofa and other northwestern states, but I
do not think + viii go there, in view of
Mrs. Schley's condition." -.
