to Get Back Home.


Paul Berne, Jacky in the United
States Navy, whose ship is of Providence,
h. l., accompanied by his young bride, a
pretty young woman Of New London, Conn,
appeared before Deputy Commissioner OF
Charities Charles +. Teale in Brooklyn yes
terday and spun yarn of the hapless
ending OF his honeymoon trip, which had
been spent in this city. After listening to
the young tar's story the Commissioner
gave him the cash necessary TO take him
and his bride back to the home of the young
woman's parents in New London.
I'VE have loved each other for a long
time" said Berne. "When my ship put n

The young bride corroborated her hus-
bands story She told Of the good times

dwelt on their misfortune.
Commissioner Teale, during his career as
a public official. both on the bench as a
Magistrate and since his incumbency Of
his present Office, has probably the longest
record Of any official in the borough for
helping the unfortunate. When the couple

Mr.. J. London's Slum Book.

On the heels OF his admirable THE Call
OF the Wild" Mr. Jack London sends q
perfunctory, journalistic piece Of work
a 40 called Study" OF the London Fast
End, "The People OF the Abyss" (Mac.
millans.) We confess to little sympathy
with descriptions Of slum life by amateurs
whether aristooratic Summers or intelligent
foreigners. That there Is untold misery
among the poor Of London, misery more
intense, perhaps, than anywhere on the
face OF the earth, Is an established fact
There are plenty of descriptions of 1t by
competent observers who have lived for
long periods among the poor, notably Gen
Booth, and from these the help toward
whatever good can be done must come.
Mr.. London put on his dark glasses when
he went into the East End. He kept his
eyes on what is blackest and turned On un-
discriminating ear to tales Of woe, One of
the best things in the book is the story Of
the 81 wear old hero, who was turned away
from the workhouse door, after spending III
his life in the British Navy and being cast
out and his Victoria CTo's taken from him,
after a single melodramatic act Of insub-
ordination. greater familiarity with
ENGLISH life might have made Mr., London
osk how the old sea dog came to receive
a decoration which belongs to the army
almost exclusively. He Is no doubt right
when he believes that money sent to aid
the foreign heathen might be spent much
better nearer home. 1t may be pity that
working mon are not aware Of better forms
~ living, but are they as unhappy in their
rsyerty az Mr.. London and Others like him,
who have not live d that life. make them out
to hep We have a suspicion that unre-
generate savagee find a satisfaction in
their life and their own standards Of con-
duct that is not CONF ensated by the efforts
OF mission aries and others to civilise them
according to their own ideas.
In his plunge into the abyss Mr.. London
took a camera with him, Its revelations
do not support his gloomy text. There
are some pictures Of wretchedness, but
the greater part reveal merely the dresry
saneness that characterises mean streets.
