Claimed That They Went From Ben

The following dispatch was sent out
from Albany Thursday night:
Albany Nov. 23-ln an attic room

rev. Creighton K. Storey, pastor OF
Trinity Episcopal church, and news
Paper man. discovered a sad case CT
poverty. A man and wife with four
snail children, living in 10 foot
room, there being only one small win
dow. which was hardly big enough Tor
ventilation purposes, was what the
minister and the reporter found. 1t
was hard to believe that such poverty
existed in the city. The window had
been nailed shut and the mother ex
planned that this was done to keep the
cold out. The only mems the family
bad TO heat the room was a stove that
looked like a toy affair The father
was a victim OF circumstances. He
came to Albany fIcm Bennington, Vt,
in hope of lettering himself. In this
city he was taken sick, as were his
wife and children
Residents of lower Madison avenue
hearing OF Dr. Storey's work among
the poor notified him of a family
they said was starving. With the re-
porter, DR.. Storey visited the place.
There was the mother more fit for
hospital than to be caring for the four
children hudded about her None
OF the children were fully clothed. Not
one Of them had shoes or stockings.
The husband and father said he had
u fairly good position in Bennington,
VT. but was net getting enough
money to support his little family. A
man told him that in Albany he would
be able to get work that would bring
him more money than he was receiy-
inS He sold his furniture for Sl3.
He bought tickets for his family and
arrived in Albany, the balance of the
Sl3 being his entire capital to start
Housekeeping with here. He secured
a position that paid him 50 q week,
bat had been at work only one day
when taken sick with heavy cold.
He was forced to stay home His wife
ana children were then taken i'll. The
few pennies he had were soon gone
and the family was destitute Today
he felt a little stronger and went
back to his work. The man said he
was paying Sll rent for the one room
Dr. Story gave the family immedi
ate. relief and said that he knew Of
fiat on Westeylo street that would be
better than the place they were living
in. This fiat would be IS a month
The man vas grateful for DR. Storys
aid end said that with the minister's
help he would move his family to the
new fiat tonight
The man said he was not looking

an honest man to so hungry he
said. but it tore my heart to STE
those children hungry
The family needs a stove, a bed and
bed clothing, The children, ranging
in ages from 10 months to five years,
are in need OF clathes and shoes. Dr.

HEALING OLD SORES.

The much hcraldcd reconciliation
between former Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft somehow seems not to have
run true 10 It's advance press notices.
Apparently, the stage had been all set
for a dramatic reunlting Of two fond
hearts that bad become ostraugod, and
the country generally had come to
picture a scene In which Theodore
and win should put their hands on
each others shoulder. retire 10 a COSY
corner, talk it over and then come
out and announce that they never
had really meant il and that they were
as good friends as over and each one
trying TO Guido the other in support
Of Charles Hughes.
Nothing OF the sort happened. From
the veracious accounts sent out byI
the Associated Press. one may infer
that the two former presidents, after
having been first searched for deadly
weapons were turned loose on the
same floor OF the Union League club
building. while all present held their
breath and hoped for the best They
mot. "lIow do YOU do?' asked one
How do YOU do2" replied the other
They shook hands. Then Colonel
Roosevelt, we are told. turned his
back on Mr. Taft and began talking
20 some one else
Quizzed regarding the matter after
u WISE over Mr. TAFT remarked that.
ne and Colonel Roosevelt had done (
only what amy two gentlemen would /
do under the circumstances. Colonel
Roosevelt declined TO express an opln.
ion or to mako any reference to the 7
matter at all
In the language OF the streets that
was "somo reconciliation" one can
imagine the Fush OF feeling that came
over each-tho warm glow OF affoc-
ton that suffused and illuminated the
countenances Of both--on this re-
markablc occasion. only tho pros
once Of Charles w Fairbanks, That
other emotional statesman of the old
guard. was needed TO complete
scene that would have made Il three
corncred Damon ana Pythias attrac-
ton 10 cause any moving picture mag
nate e. turn ltvid with envy
Tho extent OF the reconciliation
seems 90 be that Colonel Roosevelt
did not tell MT Taft to his face that
he was political poreh-elimbcr and /
dooruat thief as no told the voters
Of the country from the stump four
years ago. and Mr. TAFT did not call
Colonel Roosevelt any Of the less ok
pressiye but equally vehement names
that he used as descriptive OF his op
poncnt for the republican nomination
az thd~ time What tho two soue
men think OF each other docs not on
the face OF the record. seem TO have
undergone any radical change.
II Is significant by the way that
the last prior meeting OF the two ex-
presidents was az funeral Each
must have been reminded Of the fun
cal by tho atmosphere that pcryad-
cd the scene Of their reconciliation i,
However they are getting on. Al the
funeral they merely shook hands and
It'd not speak. AZ the reconciliation
they not only shook hands but said :
