YM. O A. NOTES.

While every Young Mems Christian
Association is doing more or less in
quiet way to help men in Strengthened
circumstances TO better their ways, II
does not advertise itself as an eeleO-
mosinary institution. If it did the
men of self respect would steer clear
of it and the buns would steer
straight for it, The Association is al
ways ready to lend a helping hand to
the man having a hard pull and who
has not found his place and work. The
New York City Associations found
long ago that the streams Of men COM
ing to the city with great expectations
and small pocket books, and many 9th
ers wao through foolishness or worse,
were stranded de manded their help In
larger numbers than they were able to
care for So thirty-two years ago the
Bowery Branch was formed especially
for destitute men. Mr.. Morris Il.
Jesup who was then president of the
Associate on, suggested the founding OF
this Branch and has since been one of
it's largest supporters Robert r Nc
Burney, the first general secretary of
the country at old Twentythird street,
kept his membership in this Branch,

Irish sympathy With men Nup .>--
down or their luck and needed boost
or encouragement from Christian men
TO put them on their feet. Last year
s.06S men were entertained in the
Branch, the average stay being eight
days Employment was found for / 1854
OF them. There are 79 beds in the
dormitories which are strictly clean
and comfortable. Here a man with
out means may be entertained TOR a
week or so, free Of cost, until he Sc
cures position, then, if he will, he
may make small payment for this
courtesy shown him. A mans self re-
sEect is thus maintained. Ia the
restaurant meals of good wholesome
food are served at five cents each, for
which he pays, if he is able. Last
year Is, 900 meals were served, over
half of which were paid for by the
men. 700 men are thus fed daily at
a very small cost Board is provided
at 81. 90 a week. On Thanksgiving
Day, free dinner was given to 4o0
men. Every man who comes to the
house is met by the secretary or one
of his assistants. who has frank talk
with him about his ability and condi-
tion. These men have become expert
in advising with men out Of employ
ment. A large amount Of worn cloth
ing is quietly supplied those whose
wardrobes need to be replenished to
make them presentable and enhance
the possibility of securing employ
ment In the coarse OF a year hun
dreds of garments are sent in by men
who prefer to give away their partly
worn clothing than TO sell il for a
song TO a second hand dealer Mems
clothing of all sorts is constantly need
ed. A man can find no better salts
faction these cold days than to thus
put an unfortunate fellow in the way
of securing comfort and obtaining
position.

WHITWELL
Special to the Nt7US.

Special to the Ne7OS.
1t may not be generally known to the
public yet that Whitwell has free cir
oulating library, yet notice of the fact
was made two months ago in the News.
The books are at the Office of DR.. s. G.
Ellis, and are free to every one who
calls for them. There are some beauti-
fully bound volumes, and all are excel
lent books, including some of the finest
novels of the year. This library was
donated by the 10th Century Club of
Memphis, and sent out on its errand of
good will by the Club Federation of
Tennessee. The good done and the
pleasure given by these travelling IL
braries is inestimable. To the remot-
est of mountain hamlets throughout
the state where they have gone they
have been eagerly received and in some
cases almost literally devoured. Tracy
City and Jasper have both had one and
seemed to appreciate them, but the one
in Whitwell is lying almost unused.
But what can we expect of place that
has such roads and no public schools?
Perhaps the oncoming generation will
not even know how to read.
