HE SPENDS HIS , VACATION ”AMONG
THE POOR OF NEW YORK.
The Head of the Metropolitan Diocese of
the Episcopal ChurchLLeaves His Man-
sion to Live for a Mohth in the Most
Crowded Tenement House Districts.
If lit/is true that people leave their
homes during vacation time and live in
smaller places, with which they are
less familiar and where they have less
comfort than in their ' Own homes, not
because they prefer them to their native
places but because they want an abso-
lute change, then Bishop Potter made
a good selection when he exchanged his
Washington Square mansion for NO. 130
Stanton street, N. ~Y. It would be hard
to imagine a. completer change in fact.
The Bishop might, have found places in
Europenearly like the one which he se-
lected for his summer vacation; in truth,
the densely populated part of the city
where the Cathedral ‘Mission stands re-
sembles in many respects the . J uden—'
stadt of Prague and the old part of
Odessa. '
The mission is in a part of the city of
which but few of the better class of peo-
ple know little or nothing. It is tra-
versed by public conteyances which
few of the upper residents of the city
have ever seen, ‘ and the streets are less
familiar to them than many an avenue
that lies on the other side of the ocean.
Its signs are written in characters un-
known to them. It has its circulating
libraries which contain only books writ-
ten with Hebrew characters to expiess
phonetically bad German. It has six
daily papers printed in Hebrew charac-
ters, and a large Russian population. In
addition to the Russians, there are also
many Italians. In addition to these two
classes. there is a small sprinkling of
Germans. .
In the midst of this district, where
tenement houses rise high in the air,
Where many blocks shelter from 2,000
to 2,400 people each, where the gospel of
cleanliness has not yet been accepted,
where men and women lOok premature-
ly old, Where hard work and a crust are
all there is of life, where childhood is
without pleasure,where manhood is end-‘
less toil and Old age a burden—there is
the Cathedral Mission, in which the Bis-
hOp makes his home.
The house is part of the great Cathe-
dral scheme, and is the center of a num-
ber of charities to which the clergyman
in charge devotes his time and atten-
tion. .
“The Rev. Francis R. Elateman is
away on his vacation and some one must
attend to to his duties, So I have come
here, and I simply do for Mr. Bateman
what‘he would do for me if it were in
his power.”
These were the words of Bishop Pot-
ter when he spoke of becoming a resi-
dent of Stanton street. “There is noth-
ing in it,” he says, “and it should cause
no discussion or comment.”
The Bishop’s apartments are small
and plain, but comfortable, much more
so than those of an army Officer in camp.
He sleeps in a small room near his
study, has his breakfast at '7 a. m. and
tors, who begin to arrive long before
that time. These consist of profession—
al mendicants, worthy poor, heads of
charity organizations, friends who come
to congratulate the Bishop on his good
work and curious East Siders who want
to see how a Bishop looks.
After 10 a. m. the Bishop makes calls
in the neigthrhOOd, possibly investi-
gates some of the charity cases, calls on
the sick and does such work—to use his
own words—“as a priest of a parish
should‘do.”
Later in the day he goes to the See
House, for Bishop Potter, of course, is
Bishop still, and attends to his duties as
such. although he lives in Stanton street.
At 7:30 p. m.‘ he is back in his little
study receiving visitors and directing
the work of the mission. He comes and
goes by horsecar, and the boys about the
mission and on the streets near by know
him and stop in their play and some-
times swallow a bad word when he pass-
es and salute him respectfully.
Freckle Cures.
Do the early summerfreckles prove
stubborn? There is usually a clamOr for
"freckle cures” about this time Of the
year, and the very best thing that proves
reliable year after. year is simply com-
mon buttermilk. Secure it as fresh as
possible; it Will be found that nothing
can equal this fresh buttermilk for re-
moving tan, freckles, sunburn or moth
spots. _
.It has the, great advantage that it
does not injure the skin, but makes it
soft and white. Take a. soft sponge and
bathe the face, neck and arms before re-
tiring for the night; then ‘ wipe Off the
drops lightly. . In the morning wash it
off thoroughly and wipe dry with a
crash towel. Two or three such baths ~
each Week during. the summer months
will take Off and keep Off the tan and
freckles and keep the skin smooth and
soft. ”

“Why are not men more beautiful?"
asks Frances E. Willard. They are,
Frances, but it is a hard strain to be
both beautiful and good out in this
country. After a man reaches 51 the
wear and tear is terrific; that is why so
many men cannot be both beautiful and
good. An epitaph in the Abilene ceme-
tery, where lies buried" many a sweet,
good man who died with his boots on,

'JAMBS ASHBURY DEAD.
He Was the First Man to Try to Win
Back the America’s Cup.
LONDON, Sept. 12.4James Ashbury,
who took the yachts Cambrla and'le’cnia
to America in 1870-1, respectiVely, to
compete for the America's cup, is dead.
Mr. Ashbury Was the first challenger
for the Queen’s cup brought‘to this coun-
try by the schooner America. His ~first
attempt was made with the schooner
Cambria, which in a race across the ocean
beat the Dauntless by a few hours. He
had to meet the entire Schooner fleet of
the New York Yacht club, the conditions
being the same as those governing the
Queen’s cup contest. The race was sailed
on Aug. 8, 1870, and, according to a con-
temporaneous ‘report, the public interest
was such that “Wall and Broad streets
and public Offices had but few attend-
ants.” Among 22 competitors Cambria
finished tenth, VMaglc, the winner, lead-
ing her by ‘39 minutes. America, altered
since her great victory in England years
before, was 13 minutes ahead of Cambria.
Mr. Ashbury challenged again next year
with the schooner Livonia and infused the
rlviloge of a race for each of t e 12 clubs
he represented”. Correspondence rather
acrimonious on his side followed, which
resulted in an agreement to give him five
races, the committee to choose the de-
fender on the day of each race from four
schooners previously selected. Livonia
was beaten easily—twice by Columbia and
twice by Sappho. She won one race owing
to the loss of Columbia’s jib, which re-
sulted in the breaking of her steering
gear. He claimed another, in which
Columbia led by 4% minutes in a half
gale of wind, on the ground that she
rounded the outer mark on the wrong
hand. The committee decided against
him.
