The Matter OF Charities.
,m the Springfield Republican


1t is now approaching the season when
the charities Of the people are appealed to
on every hand. by those who need and de-
serve help, by those who need but do not
deserve it. and by many who neither need
nor deserve. In the old days, which few Of
us now remember, know about save by
tradition. the dispensation of aims was not
very apt to go astray and waste. because
the drift of humanity degraded and va
grant was so small and the calculated in
dust-y of the tramp who does not intend to
work but begs and pliers, and even at
times robs and murders, had not been de-
veloped. That was a time of simpler civ
LIZA ton. time of honorable poverty, to
call it, when the response of human fellow
ship was justly given to those who asked
1t, and the wayfarer who accepted help and
the householder who gave 1t felt a cordial
touch of common interest. But now things
have changed: and while still the farmer
meal is ready for the wayfarer, the genus
tramp crowds the cities, and the ne'er-do-
wells gravitate thither and expect to be lifted
out of their own constituted slough by the
charities of those who by constant industry
have reached the power to manage their
own lives and help others. These degener-
ates count on the thoughtless generosity of
the people at whose doors they call for
food. or for 10 cents toward helping them
to get their fare to another place where
they going to get a job, or for dollars
which will enable them to do many things
which they cannot do without dollars 1t is
the season when all these leeches abound
There are exceptions but in all cases
wherever there is a bureau of information
an organized society which Is engaged in
true and honest service both to the public
and 10 the unfortunate individua-such as
the Union Relief Association in this city

The Empress Dowager and Empress Of

here much the same as it Is in London
said DR.. Ward yesterday to a Tribune re-
porter. There is much room for improve
ment of her condition generally, both here
and in England. What the working girl
needs most is more cheerful and healthful
surroundings and better food. She should
be allowed, too, opportunities. as we'll as
given encOura cement to go in for SySte-
matte physical exercises. That could be
managed here by forming an athletic club
or association among the working girls. In
London we already have such an organiza-
ton, which is called the Working Girls
Drill Company and displays drills take
place three times week in two large halls
built especially for the purpose by public
subscription.
THE girls of the company number 500,
and were drawn from twelve clubs COM
posed exclusively of working girls in Lon
don, most OF whom are employed in fac
tories. The girls while at drills all wear
gymnasium dress, each club having dis
tlnctive colorS. Under the direction of ex-
perienced teachers the girls are put through
a series Of exercises, including dumbbels
and Indian club drills, and sometimes horn
pipe dancing. 1t is needless, Of course to
mention the benefits the working girl de-
rives from membership in such an organiza-
ton.
From what have seen of them, I must
say that the working women here as
whole. while little brighter mentally than
their class in London, are inferior in ply
Sique and stamina.
The small wage which the ma jority of
the working girls earn here as we'll as in
London does not permit them to spend over
much on food. They have to consider cheap
ness first irrespective of quality, and they
certainly give precedence to bulk quite re-
CARELESS of nutritive value. The dietary of
most of them here seems to be made up of
coffee or tea, bread, pastries, pork bacon
timed goods, fried fish, cheese and too often
condensed milk. The standard aimed at is
a satisfying and stimulating diet Coffee
is taken because 1t is stimulating and one
LAS to future generations" DR.. Ward
added, is it reasonable to look for such
children as your country requires if the
parents become weaker every year? Such
a prospect Is worse than race suicide "

There Is tradition in England-very

well founded. The list Includes indeed,
most of the great figures in English public
life during the Victorian era who were

Of Harvard, and classify as honor men
those who stood in the first seventh of the

there figure the President of the United
States, the only Harvard man in his cabinet
and in the supreme court, the ambassador
to England, and the last governor of the
commonwealth who graduated from the

rather frigidly, and, of course. returned the
umbrella with apologies. She then remem-

again by that time, she went and bought
one for herself, as well one for a birth
day present to some else. With the
two umbrellas in her hand, she hailed an
omnibus In Victoria street: and as luck
would have it, sat down opposite to the
very lady whose umbrella she had mad
vertently picked up. The coincidence was
too much for the other lady. Il congratu-

PERILs OF THE GLADSTONE
A Case Of Blood Poisoning Follows Ap-
plication.
From the Toledo Blade.

From the Toledo Blade.
The development of a case of blood poi
soning following the application of the state
house maidstone" has started an agitation
in favor of stopping the use of this stone,
which physicians are a unit in denouncing
humbug. Two weeks ago a Mrs.
Waugh of Columbus presented herself at
the relic room In the state house. where the
stone Is kept and saying she had been bit
ten by dog, asked to have the stone ap-
piled to the wound. This was done. 1t
has since developed that the dog was not
mad. but she is now in a critical condition
blood poisoning having developed from the
wound.
This stone was originally owned by col
bred man named Depp. living in Delaware
county. When he died he beuueathed IL to
the state 1t has been in the museum of the
state capitol for about dozen years, and
has been used scores of times there The
custodian OF the museum has always been
the operator. He boils 1t in sweet milk for
few minutes and then applies the stone to
the naked wound. II IL adheres 1t Is taken
as evidence that the patient was inocu-
lated. and IL is permitted to remain on the
wound until it releases itself. If 1t refuses
to adhere 1t is regarded evidence that
the dog was not mad
Since the state keeps the stone and per-
mits Its use. physicians claim that 1t be-
comes particeps criminis in the practice of
humbuggery, which. they say may do d
great deal of harm IN preventing the pa
tent from getting rational treatment before
1t Is too late.
DIR. G. o. Probst of the state board of
health said last night that the boiling of the
stone was wise Drecaution. as it removed
the danger of blood poisoning from the ap-
plication of the stone. Otherwise 1t would
be highly dangerous to place the stone
against the raw wound. But the applica-
ton of the hot stone no doubt broke down
the tissues and left the wound In the best
possible condition to be poisoned from other
sources.
He said that the laboratory of his board
was now prepared TO determine whether an
animal supposed to have rabies really suf-
Tered with the disease or not in a few days
Formerly 1t was necessary to inoculate
some animal with the virus and wait to
see whether 1t developed rabies. That took
a week or two That process had now been
superseded by the more rapid method.

nomiques states that a Russian engineer,
NJ. Scheveline, has discovered a process by
which the fiber of fax and hemp can be
transformed into a substance similar to cot
ton by being treated with the residuum If
naphtha. This causes the fiber to decom-
pose and to acquire the appearance and
qualities of cotton. This substance can
then be worked with cotton spinning ma
