Interesting Letter From
New York City

New York, April 19.-"The golden
age Of charity" is what Robert w.
Hebbard, secretary of the state de-
partment of charity, terms the pres
ent era of philanthropy. Few per-
sons realize, he says, that $50,000,0O0
is expended in charity in New York
state every year. To understand the
evolution it is necessary to go back
to the first provisions made here for
the poor in 1641, when all that went
to the poor was the penalties collect
ed for selling unpublished wampum.
Migrants and beggars in the early
Dutch times were dangled from gal
lows as objects for ridicule.
The first almshouse in New York
was built by Peter Stuyvesant at AL
bany in 1862. The first built in this
city was erected in 1875 on the pres
ent site of the city hall. The second
structure for the poor was built on
Chambers street, with $4,000 won by
the city in lottery.
There was an early custom requiring
the poor to wear red or blue badges
on their sleeves, and also harsh pro-
vision in the early settlement laws
by which poor settlers could be forci-
bly, taken back to the town which
they had left and publicly whipped.
All this is changed, for the poor now
must be relieved where they are and
the expense paid by their native
place.

One of the forgotten points of in
terest in the lower end of the city is
the old "Schreyers Hook" This was
the "Capske" or Cape rock which jut-
ted out into the river at a point a lit
tie north of South Ferry, and which
is now included in Battery Park. Here
was the first dock, and here the set
tiers greeted new arrivals and said
farewell to those about to depart. 1t
took its name from the "Schreyers
Hook" in Amsterdam. a similar point
projecting into the harbor, where the
burghers said boodbye to their friends
who were about to sail. Because of
the mournful scenes enacted there it
came to be known as "Schreyers
Hook" or weeping point"

On the heels of the news that the

Adding to the Worlds Wealth.
Louisville Herald,

Louisville Herald.
The March output of gold from the
famous Witwatersrand mines of South
Africa was So, 295, 900. This product of
one month would, if maintained for a
year, yield about 500, OOO,0OO The
gain over the February production,
S640, 900, shows that the $100, 900, 900
estimate for a year is truly conserva-
tive. Chinese labor, however objec-
tionable in point of morals and human
ity its employment under conditions OBJ
tanning in South Africa, is to be credit
ed with the increasing product of the
mines of that rich auriferous region.
The largest one months output of the
''Rand" fields before the war was &c.
$50, 900, equivalent to $113, 500, 600 a
year. The present rate of production
is fast approaching the best records
made before the disastrous Boer war,
which so profoundly affected every
South African industrial interest. By
1905 the South African gold deposits
are likely to take foremost place in the
worlds gold production, The worlds
total output will continue for an indef-
mite period greater than it has ever
been. To the United States in COM
merce, industry and finance the vast
yield of gold means solid guarantee
of security and progress. That yield
insures an easier money market, with
greater buoyancy in prices, and mini
mics the danger of panics. The ad-
dition of three hundred millions of gold
annually to the worlds wealth is an
economic fact of prime Importance. 1t
means safe and steady, as distinguished
from frenzied, finance.

WHEN STAMPS WERE NEW.
Postmasters Had Trouble in Getting
People to Stick Them on
the Envelope.

When postage stamps FIRST came
into use," said veteran postal clerk,
"the public didn't know how to handle
Them" relates the Galveston Tribune,
"You remember how, when tea and
coffee first appeared among us, the peo-
pie fried the tea leaves and the coffee
berries and served them with salt and
pepper? Well, the people treated their
stamps az absurdly n 1854,
Some folks would put the stamps
inside their letters, out of sight Here
is the official notice that we issued to
stop that practice"
The clerk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said
"The stamps upon all letters and pack
ages must be affixed on the OUTSIDE
thereof, and above the address thereon"
He put back this bulletin and drew
forth another one.
People would pin the stamps on
their letters, instead of cumming them"
he said, "and when they did gum them
they would not do it right. Hence this
second bulletin" and he read:
persons posting letters should af-
fix the requisite number of stamps previ-
Gus to depositing them in the letter re-
ceivers, as when posted in damp state
the stamps are liable to rub of and
thereby cause the letters to be treated
as unpaid. Do not pin on the stamps
STILL" said the clerk, "the public
didn't understand. Think of tit
didn't understand the simple matter of
sticking postage stamp on letter. So
we got out third bulletin"
The third bulletin, in big, impatient
letters, said:
"The simplest and most effectual
method of causing stamps to adhere
firmly Is, first to moisten well the out
side Of the stamps and afterward the
gummed side slightly, taking care not
to remove the gum"
The clerk said that a philatelist had
offered him $l2 apiece for these three
queer bulletins.

NOT THE ONLY COUNTRY.
The United States Is Beginning to
Realize That There Are
Others.

Up to few years ago we, the people
of the United States, thought we had the
greatest country on earth (Which we
have), but we were so swollen by vain
and unjustifiable overestimation Of our
selves that we did not give proper credit
and consideration to other people, says
the Kansas City Journal. We looked
upon ourselves as great beyond compar-
ison in the exploits of war and the
pursuits of peace, and nothing quite SO
much tickled our vanity and conceit
as to sit and listen by the hour to
politicians making the eagle scream
and extolling our achievements as such
as never had been and never could be
rivaled in the world.
But very meritOrious change has
come over us. We have begun to ex-
anime and compare ourselves with other
people, and We take no offense when we
find that what we have done has been
equaled and sometimes surpassed by
the deeds of quieter and less boastful
nations.
Japan has done in so years many
things which it took us 200 years to
do Russia has constructed railroads
through astretch ofterritory far more ex-
tensive than the old Great American
desert, opened it to settlement, and built
big cities In it. But Russia did not
claim to be the greatest nation on earth
on that account. England is building
railroad through the entire length Of
Africa and she has developed millions
OF acres in the wilderness Of that CONT
nent, but she is not going into spasms
of self-praise over the matter.
These instances mentioned are only
few of the mighty things accomplished
by nations other than the United States
Current history shows that we have not
much more than shared in the general
progress Of mankind. Our material
progress and prosperity have been
rivaled in almost every particular else
where. while we have contributed only
a small portion Of the learned and en-
tertaining books which have been writ
ten, and Of the engines and devices which
have been invented for the comfort and
necessity Of the human race during the
last so years.

Great Growth of the American Catholic
Church.

Wheeling Register.
1t will probably be surprising to many
to know that in the United States prop
er, that is, exclusive Of our dependen-
cies, the Roman Catholics number more
than any other two denominations. In
GLIDING our dependencies, this prepon-
derance is largely increased.
From compilation by Rev. H. K.
Carroll in Success" for May, we learn
that the whole number of Roman Cath
olics under the protection Of
the United States flag is %, 127, S54.
Of these, 7,O5S, 500 are in the Philip
pines; 1873 1862 in Cuba, 1000, 900, in
Porto Rico, and SO, 900 in the Sandwich
Islands.
1t would obviously be misleading tC
include the Roman Catholics of the de-
Tendencies in a consideration of the
comparative strength of the religious
denominations in the United States.

man Catholics of the country still num-

The Second Funeral of Paul ZONES.

New York Sun.
One of these days we shall be able to
stand on Broadway and see the coffin
containing the body of Paul Jones GO
by on a rumbling carriage. There is
something that appeals to the magma
ton in the thought. No American
worthy of the name will fail to be stirred
by the show. The crowd will not be
moved by the wall of the dead march,
or interested in the ceremonial pomp of
the escort. The admiral of the navy
will pass almost unnoticed. The bier
and it's humble contents will hold all
eyes until it has passed out of sight.
The solemn procession will carry us
back to the stirring times when this
sailor swept the seas like a scourge,
and brought terror to the hearts of the
merchants of the greatest sea power of
the world.
Frivolous, fun-loving Paris had
thrill when, in a dull and commonplace
period, the body of Napoleon the great
was brought back from st. Helena to
be placed III French soil. The second
funeral of Paul Jones ought to awake
in us the same sort of emotions, though
of course in much less degree. For
the sailor of fortune, though he has
come to be regarded as the very en-
bodiment of the spirit, the dash, of our
navy, as he was its father, did not, like
the soldier of fortune, come to be re-
garded as the embodiment of nations
genius and greatness. 1t is curious
fact that the typical American sailor
was Scot, while the typical French
soldier was really an Italian.
In the case of national heroes it is
foolish to make comparisons. There is
an absolute quality in true greatness
that makes the great equal. Napoleon
was great in many ways, as strategist,
as tactician, as ruler, as lawmaker, as
a dominating power when men of all
sorts were concerned. Paul Jones was
great in one way. But it was way all
his own. Nothing less than the squad
ron that our government will send to
France would be fit to convey his body
across the Atlantic. We may be sure
that there will be real respect in the sa-
lutes fired by King Edwards ships as
that once redoubtable foe passes on his
way. AS for the French, they have
the authority of their own national hero
for thinking highly of this American
seaman. It was after Trafalgar that
Napoleon expressed his regret that
Paul Jones had not been alive in the an
nus mirabilis 1905.

An Estim tie of Carnegie,
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Mr.. Carnegie is a man of such enor-
nous wealth that despite his gifts of
many millions he is still rated as one of
the richest men in the world. But he
has not forgotten that he was of hum
BILE extraction, that he made his way by
his own efforts from the bottom to the
top and that it was democratic coun-
try that gave the opportunities and a
democratic Commonwealth that per-
mitted the advance from messenger
boy, doing the bidding of casual en-
ployers, to multimillionaire courted by
the great ones of the earth. 1t is al
ways gratifying to know that distinc=
lions due to the accident of birth or the
equal accident of wealth are sometimes
leveled in the democracy that seems to
have forgotten that primitive concept
about all men being created free and
equal and gives too little heed to the re-
atty that social differences are deter
mined by unselfshness and department.
Mr.. Carnegie's $4O,OOO,OOO invest
ment in libraries has not given him the
standing with the people that he gained
by his simple, open statement about his
niece's husband. What he really did
say was that the young man in ques-
ton was an upright, moral man, with
out money, but of good habits, and he
considered it much better that his niece
had married such a man than have
formed an alliance with a worthless
duke.

His Majesty, the Horse.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
The irresistibleness of coachmen is
again brought prominently before the
public by the success of James Hevel
in segregating the affections of Nancy
Carnegie.
Why is it that time after time, as the
files of the newspapers demonstrate,
they turn aside from the funky and the
butler and pour out their souls at the
feet of the man who drives the horses!
Perhaps the horses furnish the explain
alton. Horses are noble animals. All
persons who are associated with them
share in their nobility. The medieval
squire used often to find favor with his
masters daughter. He might have
had harder time if, instead of being
a manager of fiery steeds, he had been
assigned to the passing of plates or to
the announcing of guests.
Jehu is one of the most popular Of
all Biblical characters. He drove like
nothing in heaven or in earth, but much
like something below the earth, Conse=
quently he has been helm in high esteem
and has immortalized not only himself
but his father. Everybody knows and
loves Jehu, the son of Nimshi.
He would be vain person who would
attempt to prescribe rules or explana-
tons for the striking of lightning or for
the striking of love, but the enviable
record of coachmen in the matter of re-
Quilted affections is such as to justify at
least the guess that his majesty the
horse has something to do with the case,

State Chairman Slemp has stated that

Pilot has expressed it's disapproval of
such conduct. 1t says this els the old

"The trouble is that the State of Vir-
ginia has been for 50 long dependent
upon the manipulators of the ballot for
the maintenance of white supremacy
that the faint of political corruption
has come to pervade the body polite,
regardless of party" If our Norfolk
contemporary had said Democratic SUI
premacy it would have beenmore near
" correct. The fact is that the Vir-
efnia Democracy is still under the same
leadership and direction that started
and profted by fraud, and when ever it
becomes necessary to use fraud to eff
feet the ends of the machine the same
will be done: The object will be the
same. Democratic supremacy.

InoppOrtuHe Emotions.
Hartford Courant.

Hartford COurant.
A few weeks ago the London dispatch
writers were seeing from day to day a
political revolution in Russia. Now
they are seeing war in Europe, to be
made by the German emperor over
Morocco. 1t is all great nonsense. One
of these London writers quoted on Sum-
day the following passage and credited
it to the Spectator"
We can assure the German fire eaters
that we shall not fail to do all we agree
to do In maintaining the Anglo-French
agreement and that FRANCE, if she were
wantonly attacked by Germany, would
not call on us in vain.
Very likely the Spectator" said this,
such mental disturbance as is now be-
ing worked up over Morocco often af-
fecting the sanest observers. In any
case it was not much to say. All that
Great Britain agreed to do, in regard to
Morocco, in the Anglo-French agree
ment, was to give to France free hand
to do what she could in that country;
and all that Great Britain Is likely to
"agree to do" in maintaining that
agreement will probably not affect Eu-
rope much either way, whether for peace
or war.
What strikes us in the quotation is,
however, the evidence it affords of the
inopportune manner in which many
Englishmen employ there sense of gen
eral public justice. This English writer
assures Europe that France, if she
were wantonly attacked by Germany,
would not call on us in vain," which is
very much like saying that if the Elbe
should run up stream there would be
fewer drouths in Bohemia.
