Abraham Gordon Has Daughters of

PossibIe-Adyises Philanthropists
to Fellow Example Set by Him.

New York, May 14.-FoUr rubles, Rus
sian currency. were Abraham Gordon's
capital when he married In Russia. at the
age Of fifteen years. That's about twenty
five years ago now When his daughter
married Joseph Cerel of Boston. recently.
Gordon, feeling grateful toward the world,
latter he had given his daughter dowry
of $2O00, and set his son-in-law up In bus
liness. wondered how he could do the
world a good turn. He found new way.
Having an establishment in Midway.
Mass, Abraham Gordon happened TO
know that there were a good many poor
girls in those parts, working for 81 or 50 a
week, who wanted TO get married, and
had been wanting to do SO for varying
whilcs. But they couldn't: not for lack
of fellows, for that wasn't the trouble,
but for need Of the few dollars necessary
10 start up housekeeping
Gordon. remembering his hard-won four
rubles. and how useful they had proved,
realized that about S25 would help a girl
in this country 10 avoid a long and weari-
some wait, and perhaps, would bring
about a marriage that might never have
come 10 pass So when his girl Rosy's
wedding guests were gone and his three
other daughters had put the house in or
der. he wrote out several So checks and
sent them 10 town treasurers in Milford,
Medway and Halliston. Mass.
More than one poor gir/has benefited
by the offer Of the checks. and one of the
girls even had some money left over and
wanted 10 travel Ia New York on il and
see Gordon in his store at 30 West Twcn-
tieth street. 20 thank him He was pleased
with the intention. but did not advise her
to spend the rest Of the money that way.
Gordon says that he isn't any Rookie
feIler or Carnegie. but that he has a
pretty positive opinion that those philan-
thropists could spend their money in
ways that would come a great deal nearer
getting right home 10 where II is needed.
He says that anybody who has begun

make his gifts really count He doesnt
see why experts should be needed to find
proper ways Of giving money away.
when your three other daughters are
married win you repeat your bridal en-
dowment scheme?" Mr.. Gordon was
asked
We'll" he answered. that depends
how the world treats me-. 1 hope 10 90
better when the other girls get married.

LIEUT.. BROWN GETS DECISION
Appeal from Terrible Example Of
Military Justice Sustained.
Supreme Court Says Omcer Whom
Entitled to Salary.

The Supreme Court by affirming the IL
/ legality Of the dismissal Of Lieut. Lewis
Z. Brown from the volunteer army during
the Spanish War in effect has approved
the finding Of the Court Of Claims, that
| the officers discharge was a terrible
example Of military justice. for which
according to the charges, Gen. Leonard
Wood was largely responsible.
Brown. while serving in Cuba I'm 1898
was tried on charges unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman by gambling with
the enlisted men Of his command. and
was acquitted. Gen Wood. then In COM
mand Of the Department Of Santiago
without passing on the finding. reconvened
the court-martial which at his direction
! IL is alleged, reversed its former verdict
and found Brown guilty, The verdict was
approved by Gen. Wood, and Browns dis
missal from the army followed in Febru-
airy. 1899.
The Court Of Claims awarded the claim
ant SOS for pay from the date Of his dis
missal to the mastering out Of his regi-
ment. MAY %. 1892 and the two months
extra pay he would have received on hon
orable discharge. basing its action solely
on the illegality Of the court-martial by
reason of the deficiency Of officers
through the ineligiblity Of the regular
army officer As the trial was illegal
from the beginning, the court said # was
not necessary to pass upon the other
charges made by Brown beyond express
ing the opinion that the case was "a ter
rible example Of military justice"
The Supreme Court yesterday approved
the judgment Of the lower court in an
opinion which touched only on the ille-
gality Of the COurt-martial, and declared
that consideration Of the other charges
We're needless.
While Brown will draw pay for the
time he lost. the dishOnOrable discharge
approved by Gen. Wood will stand against
his name on the army rolls unless Con-
gress passed a special act correcting his
record.

PLEADS FOR VICE CONSUL.
Swedish Minister Seeks Reinstate
ment of st. Louis OmciaI.

The new Swedish Minister to the United
States is Of the impression that the ad-
ministrati0n is not disincllned to reopen
the Eckstromer case and possibly to
honor another .exeqUator which may be
offered by Sweden for c. A Eckstromer.
It develops that a few days ago the new
minister reopeued the case in a verbal
way with the Secretary Of state, Mr.
Root
He explained the circumstance Of Mr..
ECkstTOmeT writing the letter 20 the Pres
idcnt. which was the Offense which re-
suited in the loss Of his place. in the best
possible light While not attempting TO
deny the writing Of the letter or 70 ques-
ton its propriety. the minister made it
clear that Mr.. EckstTOmer did not realize
the extent of his offending. and that he
was now repentant and most regretfuL
Nils Grant. of St. Louis, has been tenn
poTarIly placed in charge Of Swedish in
terests at St. Louis. Mr.. Root expressed
no positive opinion On the case 10 the
Swedish minister. and as the Secretary
Of State Is in New England it could not
be learned what his ultimate decision
would be- At the White House il is
denied that so far as is known there the
case has been reopened.
It is realized that as the matter is one
which intimately concerns the Chief Ex-
ecutive no decision will be made by the
Secretary Of State until he discusses II
with the President The President will
ultimately decide whether Eckstromer
Will be reinstatcd. The chances seem
against such action.

Reports Are Exaggerated.

At a meeting of the Building Trades Al
lance held last night indignation was ex-
pressed by the members at the exager-
ated reports of the building situation in
this city, and a carefully prepared state
mcnt will be given out this morning stat
ing the true conditions.
According to the organization. there is
no danger of a lockout Of any more men.
as the nonunion builders have no work
which interferes with the rules Of the la
Dor unions. It was the desire of the al
lance that the reports denoting. unset
tied conditions among the laboriug classes
be contradicted, and the statement 10 be
given out tomorrow will be along that
line.
The Glen Echo Building Company was
placed on the unfair list by the alliance
because of alleged violation of the union
rules. and as this Is the first time i'm the
history Of the organization that such ac-
tion has been taken, its outcome viii be
watched with interest by those interested
