Balloonln9 Leads to Discoveries On

The growth Of ballooning has led to
many curious investigations touching

contrary to experience up to that

HIS FIRST THOUGHT.
~OOOOO0OSS~

Many a personal and characteristic
anecdote of President Mckinley has
been brought into public knowledge by
the recent dedication Of the Canton
monument raised to his memory.
Among the speeches of the occasion
more than one referred to his lifelong
devotion to his wife, A writer in the
Chicago Tribune tells story Of the
great man and his tenderness which
has hitherto been unpublished.
In the early days Of the Spanish
War Mr.. Mckinley and Mark Hanna
were engaged in a close and serious
evening conference In the President
room. The time ran along to the hour
Of 9. Suddenly those busy in the outer
room saw President Mckinley rise and
leave the apartment, saying, "Wait 4
few moments, Mark" He was gone
about twenty minutes. In the mean
time Senator Hanna walked restlessly
between the two rooms, speaking q
word or two to the secretaries, and
showing plainly that he shared with
the President feeling Of deep anxiety
as to the outcome Of the military pro-
ceedings. He remarked on the fact
Of great shortage Of supplies, and, from
his words and bearing, revealed to the
assembled few in that outer room that
the President and his closest advisers
were lying awake nights and working
to make up for the deficiencies Of the
military situation.
When the President returned he and
Senator Hanna resumed their anxious
consultation. Then the Presidents Sec
rotary remarked to one who was near
him:
II suppose you wonder why Presi-
dent Mckinley got up so suddenly and
left without word to any one. You
saw how anxious he was about the
military situation. Even that would
not cause him to break away from
what has come to be the custom Of his
early evening.
about the same time every night,
when he hears signal from the other
side, he knows that Mrs. Mckinley is
ready to retire and wishes to see him.
No matter how busy he may be, nor
how deeply engaged In any subject, he
invariably drops everything on the In
slant and goes to their own apart
mentA There he sits by the bedside
and reads chapter In the Bible to
Mrs Mckinley. Then he waits few
moments until she Is quiet, tiptoes
back to the door, comes over here to
the Office, and without a word takes
up the thread of his work, and keeps
1t up until toward midnight"

In an address before the City Clul
, Of Chicago DIR. Devine. the able editor
Of Charities, the model periodical In its
field, discussed the other day the mad
eQuacy and backwardness Of many OF
the existing relief organizations OuI
conceptions Of charity have broadened
remarkably In the last decade, and
some organizations are abreast Of these
developments, but others are still doina
their well-meant work in ways that ex.
perience has discredited. DR.. Devine
holds that prevention and rehabilita-
ton are az much the duties Of charita-
BILE organizations as attention to actual
distress. The two great causes Of pau
perism, he says, are congestion and
Overwork. and modern relief agencies
should grapple with these problems and
similar ones in addition to supplying
soup and coffee and bread. In this con-
nection it is interesting to refer to a
discussion In the columns of q New
York newspaper Of the cost Of organ
dzed charity. A correspondent had ex-
amined the latest report of the Charity
Organization Society of that city and
found, to his surprise and Indignation,
that it had cost $4,000 to distribute
about $4,000. He concluded that char
ity was "over-organized' and that ma
chinery and administration cost good
deal more than they should. But the
president Of the society and other work
ers have shown that the complaint or
criticism was based on the old-fash-
Toned notion that the distribution OF
food, money and clothing Is the only
kind Of service which charity societies
are organized to render to the poor.
As matter Of fact, the modern char
ity society substitutes better and diff
ferent service, such as the obtaining Of
employment, the prevention Of tubercu-
losis, the maintenance Of a school for
the study of philanthropy, the inspec-
ton Of tenements and the urging OF leg
islative reforms designed to diminish
misery and restitution. All such func-
ti0ns entail heavy expenditures, but
they come under the new view Of ''serv-
Ice" and It is unfair to regard them
AZ administrative merely. The cost Of
administration in the old and strict
sense was only A,423 last year, not
$4,000. Every charity conference. ev-
cry issue of Charities, emphasizes the
modernized and rationalized view Of
relief and philanthropy. But there IL
much to do In the way OF harmonizing
theory with practice.
