There mas an extra course, a
special feast, served to the bits Of
human driftwood cast up by the
surging, stormy tides of life at the
Gospel Mission, on John Marshall
place, last night.
A workn1dn, resident to i the
neighborhood, sent oper a crumpled
dollar bill to the mission superin-
tendent, NTH the request that
"wieners" be given for supper to
the wdifs, with their usual bread
and coffee. 1t pas done and in the
truest brotherly charity, this dollar
purchased baskeful of the dain-
ties.
When the evening service was
halted for a few moments for the
distribution of supper it mas al
most ludicrouS to see the furtipe
dpidity with which some of the hun
cry derelicts fell upon the food;
one Would have laughed, in fact,
had it not been for the close pro1-
unity of tears to the surface.
The recipients Of the food were
not broken. needy women or help
less children. They were men,
great, strong men, starving and in
gaunt distress for want Of work.
Out on the streets the dropping
mercury told that the failing fakes
Of snow were being hardened as
they fell, and the wind which
swept around the bleak corners
drove the grinding crystals pricking
into the faces of the men who
headed for the haven's light, while
under foot the crisp snow was
packed tight by the pressure of
countless ill-shod feet as they shuf-
fed along on weary way.
Tired. hopeless eyes puckered un-
der the blast OF the swirling snow;
scant. threadbare garments, through
which the cutting night swept. were
clutched In cold-blued hands and
gathered to shield bodies benumbed
until the faculties were duIled.

and like some superb stage setting
for a piteous drama, its sills. and
corners, and cornices were drIfted
with snow.
Within the mission there was
warmth and light, and early in the
evening the hard benches were filled.

were destitute representatives of all

Dumb, Patient Suffering.
In all the faces gathered there
there was reflected a certain hope
lessness Of outlook. mingled with
dumb, patient suffering. and glance
over the uncovered heads showed a
distressing preponderance of silver
ing. a brimming measure of the sere
and yellow leaf.
A brief prayer was started, and, at
the intonation, almost every head
bowed either in custom or in appeal
The faces were a study Among
them were those of arrant hypo-
critics, wearing SNUG expression Of
sanctity; you could not mistake
them: some were defiant, as though
immovably convinced of the injus-
tice of 1t all: and there were blear-
eyed old buns, frankly hardened:
but among them all was a goodly

need and truly reverend in spirit

Is Annual Cost.

Every article of food that is sold
across the counters goes out at a
loss yet with it all the mission Is
about 80 per cent seIf-supporting.
About $1,000 annually is needed to
adequately conduct the institution.
An epitOme of its economical admin
istration rests in the fact that, while
1t employs fourteen men as a regular
stan. the weekly payroll Is but S45.
1t Is not fitting to here pay any
tribute to the noble, disinterested
ones who have dedicated their lives
to the alleviation of the sorrows
and wants Of the distressed whom
they comfort and feed II would De
too insufficient-and, besides, they
do not want II.
When one dollar will feed one
hundred hungry men and five dollars
will house and feed fifty, what they
want most of all is money to feed
more. Contributions come in to
them from the extremes of the So
Cial scale-at one end cents from
some grateful little ne~sboy, and at
the other tho donation from the
first lady of the land, Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson. They need money and
clothing and shoes-to distribute
broadcast to their needy ones. It is
the most self-sacrificing, perfect
charity IN all this broad land.

POLO HAND|CAPS
STILL UNCHANGED
big Four With Foxhall
Keene, Head List With Rat
ing of Nine.

The revised list of the polo handi-
caps for this country which has just
been issued, remains unchanged from
last years list. At the top of the
rank are the famous big four"
Harry Payne Whitney, J. M. Water
bury, Larry Waterbury, and Dever-
cauX Milbarn, with nine goals each,
and alongside of them lis FoXhaii
Keene with the same allotment. OF
the men who have been playing at
Lakewood in the preliminary tryouts
for the international team Rene La
Montague and Malcolm Stevenson, of
the Rockaway Hunting Club, are
rated at seven goals. c. Perry Bead
lesion is given a handicap of six; C.
c. Rumsey and Fl. C. Phipps, five, and
Jay S. Phipps, five. Louis e. Stod-
dard, who may yet be available, /has
a handicap of eight.
Everything is in readiness for the
coming practise games to be held by
the Meadowbrook polo team which
will defend the cup at the interna-
tional games this June. Never in
the history of polo on Long Island
has the field where the big games
will be held been in such exception
ally fine condition. The home four,
however, will practise on field No. 2
and save the big field for the matches.
Field No. 3 is also in splendid con-
dition, and 1t Is very probable that
many of the preliminary games will
be played there.

$60,355,SSl Decrease
in Operating Revenue
of Thirty-five Railroads


WASHINGTON, April 27-The thir-
ty-five railroad systems In official
classification territory which are APP
plying for a per cent. increase in
freight rates have compiled and just
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission data setting forth results
of their operations for the first eight
months of the present fiscal year.
During the period from July ], 1913
to February 2S, 1914, the revenues OF
these companies decreased from $685.
5OS,S61 to $910,S46, 537, as compared with
the previous year.
For the same period expenses in
creased from $645, 404 1873 to 1858, 364 ,514.
There was thus a decrease in reve-
nues of $21, ISL, 1914 and an increase
in expenses amounting to $37, $50, 321-
or a loss in net operating income of
$59,122, las.
When the foregoing fact is added
an increase in taxes of $2,507 AL and
a decrease in net revenue from out
side operations, there is shown q loss
in operating income of 500, 1856, ISL, or 26
per cent
Assuming that no additional money
has been invested in these properties
since July 1 of last year, the returns
for the current eight months show 4.47
per cent. earned on property invest
ment, as against 553 per cent. In the
corresponding eight months of last
year.

VALZSTREET
Mexican Peace Prospect Causes
Excited Upward Rush of
Stocks.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Prospects
of peace with Mexico caused an ex-
cited rush upward of stocks today.
There was a keen demand at the
opening, particularly from spectators
who sold shorts last week, owing to
the Mexican trouble.
Mexican Petroleum, one of the
stocks depressed most severely, made
an almost unprecedented rise of 1914
points on the first few transactions.
During last weeks entire decline it
lost only IL points. American Smelt-
ing, which also was exceptionally
heavy owing to its extensive inter
ests in Mexico, jumped points. Else
where there were gains of l to 3
points.
The advance was helped by an
earlier upturn of American stocks In
London, but gains made there were
far outstripped in this market. The
| initial upturn was followed by a re-
action of half to l point. Mexican
Petroleum fell back IL points from
its earlier high prices.
