Recovering Lost Treasure.

1t was but a few years ago that a
ship with s250,000 in gold was sunk
not far from Shanghai and that divers
were sent to tie SPOT to recover the
treasure. The ship lay at the depth
CT 160 feet. making it a work of ex-
treme difficulty and hazard. but day
after day the divers labored, taking
up box after box through which the
seaworms had already bored their tiny
holes. until four-fifths of the gold was
recovered. Then, one day. fleet of
pirate junks bore down upon them and
il was only by the exertion of the
most tremendous efforts that the PER

ready recovered. And sfterward they
returned and completed the job and
took out the very last box of gold,

emigration on a large scale. Close
upon 6O.OOO children have been res
cued from the streets. These have
been educated and trained and placed
out in life. Everybody knows the char
acteristic features that make our
work unique. Most orphanages and
institutions have certain rules for the
admission of candidates. Ours /. only
that a child must be destitute. We
search for them; we don't wait for
them to come to us. We have
varying number of expert men and
women always at work searching the
common lodging houses, the streets
and lanes of squalid parts of the great
cities of England. and in most of the
towns we have places where the
doors are always open, our idea being
that in every great center of popula-
ton there should be a door open at
which the feeblest little knock or cry
of waif can be heard. None ever re-
fused If destitute; 1t does not matter
what creed, sex, age, country, Ian

lived, useful citizens have Deen
raked out of the cutters and slums OF
London, and many of the theories con-
cerning original sin and total depraV'
ity have been severely punctured. HIS
name-Thomas John Barnardo--is
craven upon the hearts of thousands.
and the world has been bettered be-
cause of him and his efforts.
Born in ireland in 1915, Thomas
John Barnardo was of Spanish de-
scent. A Protestant and nonconform-
ist. his education was obtained in pri-
vate schools. and at an age when the
sons of well-to-do fathers begin to
form in their own minds ideas as to
their future he decided to become a
missionary. 1t was his ultimate in
tention to spend his life in China.
and. desiring to equip himself the bet
ter for work abroad, he went to Lon
don, where he began the study of med
icine and upon the receipt OF his de-
gree continued his studies in the hos
pitals of London. Edinburgh and
Paris. 1t was during his student days
at the London hospital in Whitechapel
road that he determined upon his
career. How well he fulfilled his mis-
sion is now written in the history Of
the worlds good deeds.
His first term in the London hospi-
tai was in that gloomy. eventful and
ominous year 1866, a period of politi-
cal agitation. commercial disturbance
it was in May that the stoppage of
the great discount establishment OF
Overend & Gurney produced such con-
sternation-and an outbreak of chol-
era. due to impurities in the water
supply. Neither the political situation
nor the commercial depression en-
crossed young Barnardo. He gave
evidence this early of the philanthropy
ic stuff within him. and although COM
paratively inexperienced. volunteered
for the cholera service. He was glad.
ly accepted, for volunteers were few.
OF his personal security he seemed
never to think and made a house to

ground that it would be going into the

When the scourge was over DIR. Bar.
nardo went back to the hospital and

poor quarters had given him {. new
view of life. however, and he made
up his mind that 1t was his duty TO
contribute something toward helping
those who appeared unable to help
themselves. AS a beginning 10 estab.
lished a Ragged School in the very
center of squalid Stepney. to which
he devoted two nights each week and

who was confined to his bed with
typhoid fever. and then suicided BY
drinking carbolic acid. The affair
caused great sensation in New Al
bany and in Louisville, just across the
river, where the parties are well
known.
The Louisville Post says that there
is no question that Mrs. Winstandley
was insane. Some friends attribute
the mental trouble to an attack of the
grip last spring, and others to jeaI-
ouey over the affection of the little
girl for her aunt and uncle. Mrs
Renshaw, mother of the unfortunate
woman. testified that Mrs. Wiustand-
ley's condition had been suspected for
some time.
The Winstandleys are related to W.
L. Breyfoele, who at one time was
largely interested In the Little Falls
