crowded, rent high and food supplies
more expensive than ever. To help to
mitigate the sufferings of the poor
during the coming dark days the New
York association for improving the
condition of the poor is working with
a will. The work last year was the
largest in It's history.
According to the president, r. Full
ton Cutting, in order to relieve dis
tress due to sickness, accident. death,
loss of work, old age, and similar
causes, 1927 families, representing
81, 900 individuals, were given prompt
and adequate aid In their homes. In
addition 2697 homeless men and wo-
men were helped largely through the
Joint application bureau. Fresh air
relief was given to 23,051, over 1000 Of
those most run down receiving an av-
erage of 10 days rest, good food and
stimulating change. This great and
important service, not only to the in
dividual, but for the city. is wholly
non-sectarian and Ierendent upon
voluntary gifts. The ASSOCIATION de-
serves all the help 1t asks for and 1t
is to be hoped the appeals will not 60

Sad Fate OF Heroine.
Cassie McManus, young Irish
woman and heroine Of the Slocum dis
aster, has been saved from burial in
the Potter's field by some poor Irish
friends Of her. At the time the Slo-
cum was burned she was an attendant
in the hospital at North Brother
island. She had just gone off duty
and was walking along the sea wall
when the burning steamer came up the
river. When men, women and chill
dren began leaping into the water, this
brave girl ran to the end of the island
and sprang into the river She was
strong swimmer, and as she breasted
the choppy waves, she saw a child
sink. She dived and brought the lit
tie one ashore where others cared for
it. After saving seven persons in this
manner she fell exhausted, and had
to be taken to the hospital herself
For several days she was in a critical
but recovered.
Honors were heaped upon her for
bravery. Mayor Mcclellan gave her
a certificate for heroism and congress
voted her a medal. Testimonies
from foreign rulers were also received
by her and one of them from the en-
press of Germany was found in the
hospital in which the poor girl died.
But this great attention soon died out
and she was forgotten. Two weeks
after the disaster she married James
Craig, a "steeple Jack" Later she
became i'll and all Craig's earnings
were spent in doctors bills. The end
came when she died in the hospital.
There We're very few at her funeral,
as her history and gallant deeds are
already forgotten.

The relief commissioners have found
their two long-lost carloads of goods
of the Chicago and Milwaukee con-
signments. They are at the Southern
Pacific yards. These two cars have had
varied experience. They have been
fered transfer of contents until their
Identification became confused. The
original cars were Milwaukee car No.

S0,S65. The goods in the Milwaukee
car, consisting of tinware and house
hold utensils, were transferred into
70,109. Car 30,865 was wrecked and
the contents put in No. 80,890
If all refugees were of the same cali
Der as Michael Cahill, the rehabilitation
committee would soon have to retire
from business. Cahill was burned out
and accepted army rations for three
days. During this time he was assisted
by soldier when temporarily Ill. From
his new location in Albion, Mendocino
County, he has written and inclosed a
postal order for $3.50 to defray ex-
penses. This money he wants turned
over to the soldier who gave him help.
General Greedy has located the latter,
who is Nyles Morris of Company A.
Sixty seventh Cavalry.
Morris will not take the coin, and
Major CASTOR turned the Offering over
to the relief commissioners yesterday.
The Boston relief committee has as
sured the finance committee that Bos-
tons appropriation of 100000 will be
RENTED soon. The hardness has been
due to lack of confidence. The coin has
been placed to the credit of the new
corporation.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SANTA ROSA, July 2O.-The Board
of Education of this city. at a meeting
Wednesday night, reversed itself and
reelected Professor Charles T. Con-
ger vice principal of the Santa Rosa
High School and Miss Kate Grace. Both
Congress and Miss Grace failed of cleo
ton two weeks ago. The action of
Wednesday night was the result Of pub
lie sentiment aroused by the boards
dismissal of the teachers on the report
of City Superintendent E. Morris Cox
without giving them an opportunity to
face the board The meeting was large
~ attended by friends. patrons and pu-
pills of the school. A number of pc
titions were presented asking the board
to retain the popular pedagogues.
Much feeling has been aroused over
the matter. and the reelection of the
two teachers only adds fuel to the
fame, for now the friends of the others
dropped feel that the members of the
board have worked a hardship and
great injustice on those who have not
been reinstated. One Of these is former
Principal A. c. McMeans of the Ere
mont School. popular and well-known
educator of Northern California. There
is political side to the matter, and sew
eral schemes contemplated by both par
ties have been materially changed as a
result of the affair.

They have politics in Japan. The
promise Of a constitution seems to
have been given by the emperor before
there was any general agitation for it,
but as about twenty-one years elapsed
between the making Of the promise and
the realization Of the hopes excited by
it, there was a period Of discussion. AS
early as 1874 several Of the ministers
joined in a petition asking for the pro-
mitigation Of the promised consti-
tion. Their memorial being disregarded
they resigned their Offices and became
the founders Of a. democratic party.
They call themselves liberals and their
efforts resulted in an. imperial rescript
issued in 1881 fixing 1889 as the date
for the beginning Of constitutional gov
