"This is the residence of J. Pierpont

an engine at once. This Is Herbert l..

talking"
There was unusual excitement at fire
headquarters recently when tho tele-
phone rang and the foregoing words
came over the wire.
The engine was sent, and no team
ever made quicker run. When the
firemen arrived at 219 Madison avenue,
the home of the multi-millionaire, they
found Mr.. Satterlee in the doorway.
The only sign of fire was a slender
sheet of flame shooting out of the
chimney.
"For heavens sake, do not use any
water" Mr.. Satterlee begged. "You
will ruin irreplaceable paintings IL you
do. The fire is in the chimney. But
please be quick"
The flremen yielded to Mr.. Satter-
lees request, and used hand grenades
instead Of the hose. They found Pc.
liceman Daniel Kelleher on the roof.
He had almost extinguished the FIRE
by throwing salt down the chimney.
The fire caused no damage.

The National Soldiers Home in the
District Of Columbia is the only insti-
tuition of Its kind in the United States.
The home was founded March B. 1851.
The idea of the establishment is said
to have originated with General Win
field Scott, after whom the main build
ing of the Home is named, and of
whom there is a fine bronze statue in
the grounds. During the occupation Of
Mexico General Scott exacted sum of
money from that country. The money
was paid to him, and he asked Con-
gresS that 1t be set aside for the estab-
lishment at Washington of home for
disabled enlisted men of the regular
navy and army. This was done. The
Home Is maintained by exacting from
every enlisted man and officer II 1-2
cents from each months pay Fines

provements at the Home are contem-
plated. which call for the expenditure
Of over one million dollars. The Home
has on deposit in the Treasury of the
United States fund of more than two
million dollars. 1t should be borne in
mind that the Government of the
United States does not contribute one
dollar to the support Of this great In
tuition.
No women are employed at the
Home excepting those in the corps of
trained nurses In the Home hospital.
Much of the work at the home, farm
work, dairying, gardening. road main
tenance, homework, cooking, waiting
on table, etc, is done by the inmates,
who are paid for their services out Of
the Home fund.
There are about 1900 veterans in the
institution. Many of them are civil
war soldiers, some were disabled in
the West Indies, others in the Philip
pines, some in the Indian campaigns,
and some were discharged from the
service for disability incurred il camp

history Of the beggar kingdom, for

Following the example Of large cor

mutual protection and profit, there
was recently established In New York
"beggar trust through the efforts Of
ope-legged youth who had left a
con1forta BILE home to engage deliber-
ately in begging. His remarkable in
sight into business methods would
probably have reaped him a greater
reward than was derived through beg
gary. Organizing a community of in
terest among the mendicants Of Park
Row, he picked out favorable points
throughout the city to which were as
signed certain men. A lame youth
would be placed at one point, a blind
one there and badly-scalded mendi-
cant at another. That these beggars
might not be molested in their work,
