CHARITY TO GET
GAYNOR ON STAGE
That Is, II He Follows London
Ex-MayOr's Advice.
TRELOAR TELLS OF SUCCESS.

Appealed TO English Public From
Vaudeville Stage For Money to Aid
Tubercular Children and Raised
$350,ooo, Together With Land and
Hospital Buildings.
Imagine, If you can, Mayor Gaynor
rolling up to the door Of, say, theater
In the official coach of the city of
New York assuming that there is such
thing bearing with him whatever
insignia of his Office may exist.
Then imagine him as being con-
Quoted to the stage and between two
vaudeville ''turns" making strong APP
peal to the audience for funds with
which to build long deferred hospital
for tubercular children.
Nurses as Adjunct.
Then picture the entrance among the
audience of some forty young women
clad as nurses, who REINFORCED the
mayors argumentative appeals by di.
rect and personal solicitation OF the
audience.
Yet the same thing took place in a
city far more conservative than New
York. And It is also the advice Of Sir
william Treloar, former lord mayor
Of London, to Mayor Gaynar. Sir
william, who has been spending some
time In America, did 1t in London with
such persistence that between Hovem-
Der, 1906, and November. 1907, he raised
$350O00 and the lands and buildings
for his hospital and college for tuber-
cular children at Alton, Hampshire.
Gaynor Could Do Il Easily.
"And If l could do It" said Sir viii
liam In the course of chat over bis
impressions of America, Mayor Gay
nor surely could. He hasn't the state
coach and the robes Of Office and the
Jewel which Is handed down from one
lord mayor of the old city to the
other, but he has far richer public
to which to make bis appeal.
IF he wants to get action, as you
Americans say, on the matter of the
building Of proper hospital for tuber-
cular cripples among the children be
could get 1t in no speedier way
