Mrs. Grant had no secretary to at-
tend to her correspondence, the great
bulk OF which was referred to the
office for action. She used to receive
an enormous number OF appeals for
help, for charities. for assistance, in
aid OF almost every cause that could
be imagined. Being q waTmshearted,
sympathetic woman, some OF these
appeals made a strong impression
upon her. I can remember several
instances when Mrs. Grant requested
her husband to give this person or

AIDING THE STRANDED
GOOD WORK DONE BY AMERICAN
SOCIETY OF LONDON.
II Assists Yearly q Thousand Fellows

or by Sending Them Home or
lending Them Money.

The American Society of London
helps upon an average a thousand
stranded Americans In a season. So
far this year, however, only TOO have
been assisted, the New York SUMS
correspondent says. The officials of
tho soeiety attribute the falling off to
the stories about high prices that pre-
coded the coronation, The society,
which has been In existence for IL
years, has paid the passage home OF
over 10000 persons and has supported
numbers In London until the arrival
Of funds.
Only five per cent. of the money ex-
pended has been returned. This, how
ever, is not considered proof OF a
lack of gratitude on the part OF the
recipients, as a return is not expected
OF most Of the beneficiaries. or those
who have been expected to repay 20
per cent. have kept their word. A
considerable part OF the efforts Of the
society Is devoted to the assistance
OF American sailors. The home gov
ernment through the consulates rs
sists American sailors on American
ships, but American ships are few and
the number of stranded American
sailors is considerable. The society is
doing q work that many think belongs
to the government.
Despite the supposed non-existence
Of color prejudice In England, the
society has the utmost difficulty In se-
curing the return or American negroes
to the United States. A white man
can be assisted and can get a working
passage to n part OF the country,
but only three ports, Newport, Cardiff
and Swansea, are available for the
signing on of nssroes.

they are never able to present their
