New York, Jan. 2s-That the admin
istration of the Tombs and the queE-
ton of the competency of Deputy

new HAVEN'S WELFARE
BOARD KEENLY INTERESTS
LOCAL CHARITY SOCIETIES

The proposed establishment in the
city of New Haven OF Board or Puo-
lie Welfare; now in ordinance form
before the Board of Aldermen IS
watched by. many in Bridgeport with
considerable interest, as well as in
other sections of the state. If It IS
carried into effect as it is now be-
Heved, there will be a practical dem
onstration given in the east OF the
manner in which Migrants and others
seeking public charity can be made
to return value to a city.
When asked for an expression of
opinion on the workings of the sys-
B fsm sop charfffes depart1nent cast
some valuable side-lights upon the
formulation of the ordinance in ques-
ton, which it appears were taken
mainly from the department. first in
augurated in Kansas City, Mo-. with
which he was directly connected be-
fore accepting his present 1ncumbency
here.
A Board of Welfare is primarily de-
signed to investigate applicants for
charity and if possible to place them
pense the city for advances made to-
wards their care. Such a Board usual
ly supersedes the department of char
ity and extends its general scope by
the addition of a Workhouse and other
adjuncts towards economical util1za-
ton of such manual labor as may
come within its jurisdiction. Vag-
rants, able-bodied male and female
charity applicants and undesirable
citizens whose ohenSeS are not eG-
IRENE are made to become self-sup-
porting, and municipal bills in other
departments greatly reduced.
In speaking of the success of the
venture in the West Supt. Johnson
said, in Kansas City Rn elaborate sys--
tenn had been evolved. A municipal
farm had been successfully operated
during the summer in connection with
the poor-house. and reformatory help,
both male and female, had been in
structed in such valuable 1abors as
farming and domestic science. Con-
struction work upon roads is extern
siveIy done by the men while washing
and cleaning is undertaken by the
women.
rudiments of many useful vacations
are taught. It is said that such a sys-
tenn greatly takes off the stigma which
is so keenly felt by worthy persons
desiring assistance who are not per-
rnitted by some charitable systems to
make returns for the financial or other
aid they are given.
While such a plan has never been
advocated in Bridgeport the adoption
by New Haven of the present ordi-
nance and its future operation is look
ed forward to with much interest by
those engaged in similar uplift work
here.

DRINKING CHARGED TO
WIVES CULINARY EFFORTS

WHO fixes the death rate?" is the
question proposed and answered by the
Journal OF the American Medical asso-
citation. Among those named as fixing
h death rate at high standard are
mentioned councils and legislatures
which will not appropriate funds suf-
f1cient for the fight which health boards
would wage against tuberculosis;
those who disregard anti splitting or
~dinances; housewives whose culinary
efforts produce dyspeptics directly and
drunkards indirectly; nostrum takers:
those who oppose the inspection of
schools n school children; those who
overwork women and children In fac
tories; incompetent and careless doc
tors. In conclusion the Journal says:
We nave not the right to blame a
cruel deity for deaths which are actu-
ally due to gross stubborn ignorance,
tnhumanity and the refusal to exercise
the common sense which is also an in
spiration from the Almighty A weep
ing mother told a famous physician that
1t had pleased Providence to take her
baby from her. Providence had moth
ing to do with the matter" replied the
physician, 1t was bad milk that killed
your baby We cannot escape some
share of h joint responsibility of fix
ing the death rate, but we can choose
to be on the side of the forces that are
bringing it down instead Of those that
are sending it up"

Native POLITICIANS
OF INDIA PROGRESS
Elk Governor of Eastern Bengal
Praises Public Men of Brit
ish India.
From the Christian Science Monitor.

From the Christian Science Monitor.
London.-Sir Bampfylde Fuller, foi.
merly governor of eastern Bengal.
spoke recently at a meeting of the
Royal institute on the nations Of the
east n the difference of their outlook
from that of the people of h west.
OF India. and OF the progress which
had been manifested in that country OF
late years, Sir Bampfylde spoke hope
fully.
Tn Importance of the visit of the
king-emperor in allaying as it alone
had done. the unrest Of the people
could not be overestimated. In the
king, the Indians beheld an authority
which they could acknowledge whole
heartedly without loss OF self esteem.
an authority which, by its magnitude
and dignity. wiped out the pettiness
OF distinctions between officials and
nom oficials. between Europeans and
Indians. The actual presence of the
that deep lying and innate feeling OF
loyalty inspired in he masses by u
hereditary sovereign.
In the matter of social reform. Sir
Bampfylde Fuller prognosticated a very
beneficial influence from the presence
councils OF state. Without these bene-
fetal results, political privileges would
be like blossoms that are seedless.
Though thoughtful Indians had fully
recognized the urgency OF social prob
lens, they a had the embargo of
immemorial custom to hinder their en-
deavors. INC besides this, the MIA
onism to the and customs Of
the invaders of Asia had tied the hands
of the government in any reforms
which affected domestic life or religious
belief. The present time, however, saw
Indian politicians in the reconstructed
legislative councils, initiating proposals
on such matters as the reform of the
marriage laws.
h presence of the Indians on the
councils promised to bring about a
blending of the native qualities OF
%acuteness. knowledge and patriotism
with hat capacity for practical admin
istration which characterized the Brit
ish race h liberation OF ome the

sweeping the east. had already. in spite
