Pauperism in England.

Prom the Brooklyn Standard Union.
John Burns, member of the British
cabinet, says in the last sixty years there
has been decline in official pauperism
from g. per 1.0O0 10 26 per 1000. This
seems very high percentage TO an
American, but 1t must be remembered
that the impression created in recent
years was that conditions were growing
worse, not better. The inmates of the
poor-law institutions are better provided
for than ever before, and the 10000 chill
dren in them are being carefully edu-
Gated. The fact that there are nearly a
million public dependents in England and
Wales shows by contrast with the United
States how much worse off are the peo-
pie there than in this country

Education a Lsxurx.

From me FhlIAoeIIla Dsfgef.
By a recent court decision $500 an
nually has been allowed for the educa-
ton OF a girl now sixteen years old. Not
withstanding the mother had asked ST.
900 for the purpose, the allowance viii be
deemed generally not only sufficient but
liberal Ia a country where comparative
~ few heads of families have an income
of $500, and yet manage to provide the
children with such advantages as the
best schools and colleges afford. the sum
named Is almost absurd in its magni-
tude. When $S.o0a yearly is required to
educate a girl. then has education, In

WIFE AMI CHILDREN SAFE,
Is STILL HAPPY AFTER FIRE.

Thankful that he was alive, and that
wife and three small children We're
safe, Antonio Conciotela was found
looking over the ruins of his prosperous
little home at 334 North Tenth street
today. Yesterdays wash fiuttered in
the breeze in the yard and "a goat, the
only other thing saved from a fire
which occurred last night. nosed among
the debris.
Antonio is a laborer working in the
building trade and habitually retires
early with his family. Last night he
was awakened at IL o'clock by smoke
which filled the one and a half story
building in which he lived, and he told
today nov he stumbled about the room,
gathering his children together, and
with his wife escaped from the place.
Down the stairs and through the hall
way, almost overcome by the fumes, he
made his way with difficulty, leading
his family, clad only in, nightclothes.
Through six inches of freezing mud he
ran to the house of a neighbor across
the street, and then nearly a quarter of
a mile to the nearest fire alarm box,
at Seventh and Berkeley Fire
men extinguished the blaze only after
the house was a mass of ruins. and he
had lost everything but his goat and the
Clothes on the line.
The children rescued are 3 years, Is
months, and 2 months old, respectively.
and though overcome by the smoke
showed no i'll effects today. Conciotela
estimates his loss at from $1,000 to
81 900.

Mrs. Loebinger arose after the third

they should, whatever that is.

TRENTON, Feb. 10.-Anticipating
adverse action on his application to
erect "a tuberculosis sanitarium in
Hopewell township, Bishop James A.
McFaul today withdrew his application
for permission to erect the institution.
The bishop made a statement this
afternoon, In which he said that the
Roman Catholic diocese of Trenton

than any single individual He said the
diocese would not establish an institu-
ton which in his judgment would de-
preciate the value of property and
cited statistics gathered by the Ma
tional Association on tuberculosis
showing that such sanitariums are not
detrimental to the health of commune
ties nor injurious to property interests
in the vicinity.
Bishop McFaul purchased a farm
some time ago, intending to use 1t for
INDECENT ~tuberculous patients within
the diocese, regardless Of their re-
ligious beliefs. His plan met with gem
eral favor, except on h part of some
residents in the immediate vicinity OF
