WORK AMONG EmMIGRANTS.

One morning the telegraph wires in
San Francisco began to hum and
speedily this little message of ten
words shot like lightning to New
York: miss Mary l.. Orr, Ellis
Island, New York. Send Tony De-
caro- to New Bedford Funds from
son coming" Our w. G. 7. U. mis-
sionary diligently searched the rail-
road room for Tony, and failing to
locate him there, visited the deten-
ton room. Here he was found. He
said that his wife and children had
been taken to another room; that
funds were expected from their oldest
son, who lived in San Francisco, but
that the inspector had told them there
was no money for them. and they,
therefore, did not know what to do.
Think of the comfort brought to the
heart of this stranger when Miss Orr,
through an interpreter, told him of
the receipt of the telegram. What
pleasure to see the look of anxiety
fade away. Arrangements were soon
made for the trip to New Bedford and
the little family fastened on its way
rejoicing. This good work would not
have been possible had it not been
for the employment of W. G. T. U.
missionary of our own at Ellis Island.
A young English woman, her arms
full of babies and baggage, was cross
ing the Atlantic in the steerage quar-
ters OF great vessel. Her chief
treasure seemed to be letter from
her husband (who had preceded her
by some months) part Of which read:
when you get to Philadelphia, look
out for the White Ribbon woman,
who will help you with everything,
Just as she helped me when | landed
there. / do not know what / should
have done without her." OF course
the stranger looked for the white
ribbon woman" and as she meets all
steamers and is we'll known by all the
officials and workers at the station,
naturally had no difficulty in finding
her Miss Gruninger, the worker in
question, helped with the babies, the
baggage, the food, the telegram to
the husband, changed English money
to United States currency. bought
the railroad ticket, looked after trans
portation on the trolley car to station,
and finally seated the family in the
train.
These ladies look after girls travel
ing alone, find good boarding places
for them, interview friends" and
employers" and have saved many
pure, innocent girls from a horrible
fate.
