BRITISH CHARITIES.

A REVIEW OF the gifts and bequests to charities
A libraries, museums and educational institutions
in the United States during the past year has
been published in The Call, and it will be interesting
to the reports of beqn1sts for similar pur-
poses during the year in Great Britain. There are
wide differences between the two lists and they
reveal something Of the difference in the social
ditons of the two countries.
In this country the total amount OF beneactions
named was in round numbers, $77ooo,ooo. In Great
Britain the total of bequests for public
of not less than tIoooo each upward of $2o
100000 AS the British reports do not include Of
less than $4,000, while include all down to the
amount OF $4,000; and as our list includes gifts from
living persons we'll bequests the showing is not
much in favor appears the face OF the fg
Still it is to be noted that most British bequests
for public benefit left by will while in America the
rich prefer to give during their lifetime that per-
haps, after ALL absolutely and full list on
each side would still show considerable excess Of
such gifts on this side of the ocean.
more interesting feature OF the contrast is the
showing OF the purposes for which the greater amount
of gifts bestowed In each country charity heads
the list but in the United States it is closely followed
by gifts for education while in Great Britain educa-
tional endowments but a small figure. American
gifts for charity in round numbers $4,000 900,
while S2Sooo,ooo was given for educational instu-
tions S. for churches and S. 100000 for libra
ries, with something like $3oooooo for museums and
galleries In Great Britain onethrd of the entire
amount OF the bequests of the year for the estab
lshment OF model dwellings for the poor Fully an
other third was for spreading knowledge OF the Bible
among the heathen or for other religious and mis-
sionary purposes the remainder of the total fund
almost wholly taken up in bequests to various hosp-
tails nrmares and asyluns for children so that very
little given either schools colleges libraries
art galleries.
1t will be SEEN then that while the stream OF Brit
ish lberay is large it flows along channels widely
different from Charity and the church form
about the only bonds OF union between the two The
gifts of the rich in this country clearly intended for
prosperous people and designed to furnish them
with education, books and pictures that they may en-
Joy life while in Great Britain the gifts go for homes
and for hospitals The condition of the poorer classes
there is such that they need food and lodging more
! than Libraries and galleries OF art

A GOOD MOVE.

~ NCE more the Merchants Association has un-
dertaken at its own cost work for the public
~ good This time it is the establishment of
safety station the Lotta Fountain for the bene
fit OF persons waiting there to take the street cars
While this improvement will not be very extensive
and will much, the benefit to the public will
be large The proposition is to construct concrete
platform six feet wide and fifty feet long, slightly
raised above the level protected end
by stone buffers on the inner side of which there will
be seats for those who desire to them. The buff
fers will protect persons the platform against any
danger from reckless driving from runaway teams
so they wait there with comfort and safety
1t hardly needs to commend the proposal to the
public, for every one is familiar with the pressure Of
traffic which passes that point at all hours of the day
and which for two three hours the late afternoon
and early evening is great be absolutely dan
gerous. Even the most vigorous and alert have to
watch sharply and move quickly in making their way
through the crush at that time that the proposed
measure OF relief and protection will be a genuine
benefit to the whole community
The platform will not impede traffic, for there will
be passageway eighteen feet wide between it and the
fountain for the use of teams That will be ample and
the requirement OF passage in single file may prove
benefit by putting end to the confusion which often
occurs now by teams trying to pass one another at
that crowded point.
Chief Whitman has cordially commended the plan.
and there be little doubt that other authorities
the city will be equally prompt to approve it when it
comes before them In fact, the project is one OF
genuine merit. and the people of San Francisco are
indebted to the Merchants Association for taking the
initiative in the matter as well as for offering to pro-
vide the station at its own expense

Civilization is progressing at Guam; the chickens,
the banos and the stricter regulation OF marriage
ried into the islands by Governor Leary, have had
their effect, and late report announces that
ported to Guam last year ten times much soap in
the previous year 1t is therefore not surprising to
learn that bill has been introduced into Congress to
establish civil government and give the people a
chance to enjoy the benefits Of genuine American po
ltical culture The bill ought pass still it might be
worth while t. investigate the soap consumption be-
fore acting, for it is not impossible that the natives
may treat it CONNECTION and it, instead OF using
It as an accessory bath.

WORKS SCORES
OPPONENTS OF
WATER BILL

Former Justice John D. Works of the
Supreme Court of California has written
a stinging attack upon certain prominent
men of this State, who took part at q
meeting held recently in Riverside, where
at censure was meted out to the bill pre-
pared by the California Water and Forest
Association concerning riparian rights, ir-
rigation and other phases of the water
question. Mr.. Works is the representative
of the California Water and Forest As
sociation, entrusted with urging the as
sociation's bill for passage before the
present session of the Legislature.
"The Riverside meeting" so asserts Mr..
Works, was carefully programmed in
advance, with the sole purpose of discred-
iting the bill and creating sentiment
against it, thus making a record with
which to go to the Legislature and, if
possible, compass its defeat" The bill
referred to is the one urged by the Cal
ifOrnia Water and Forest Association.
