GUARDS THE Roam
A WEALTHY LADY IN 'THE SLUMS
OF NEW YORK.
.o
~Practical Christian \Vork of Mrs. Bird-
For Thirty Years She Has Been a Verit-
able Angel to the Poor and Distressed
of the Metropolis.
At almost any hour-of the day or
night, in sweltering Summer heat and
fierce wintry storms, denizens of the
Bowery, in all stages of sin and ‘mis-
ery, step aside to salute a brisk-walk-
ing figure, plainly but richly clad. One
look’will convince the untutored .Bow-
ery visitor that this distinguished wo-I,
man, with her graceful, gentle man—
ners, with a face still retaining clear
marks of beauty, never sprang from
the sin-cursed Bowery soil.
And yet they all know her, these
wretched polyglot outcasts, thieves,
jail—birds, drunkards, ragged Magda-
lenes of the street, and a perpetual in-
cense of “God bless hers” goes up from
their degraded hearts when the
“Mother of the Bowery” passes by.
. Mrs. Sarah J. Bird, the noted saint
of the east side slums, is the New York
nineteenth century successor of Paula
and Fabriola, those Roman matrons of
vast wealth who brightened the fourth
century of Christendom by deeds of
historic sacrifice. Like them she places
her bountiful fortune on the altar of
human charity and devotes her entire
time to Christian rescue work, coupled
with substantial relief. She has
chosen to till for the Master one of the
most barren, rocky. and repulsive
patches in all His vineyard.
MRS. SARAH J. BIRD.
Mrs;Birdisonthe sunny side of sixty,
or, as Dr. Holmes would say, she is
“over sixty years young.” She does
not know how to grow old. She says
she has not' time to study it. Though
born in Connecticut, she passed her
childhood and young life on a rich
Louisiana plantation. humored and
petted and favored for her beauty. Her
speech at times very clearly shows the
peculiar Southern twang.
To any one in the habit of connect-
ing a zealous woman worker for the
Lord with angular face and frame,
short, corkscrew curls, and a husky,
bass voice, Mrs. Bird would be a reve-
lation. Despite hef‘ years of grinding
service in the charity and rescue field,
her figure is- plump and round, her
gray hair falls in generous waves from
her widow’s cap, and her voice is soft
and mellow as the echoes of a twilight
Angelus.
Her home is in Montclair, N. J., a
superb mans-ion, with stables, horses,
flowers galore, and spreading lawns.
This mansion she visits once a week
for a-very brief rest of a day. Her
real home all the remainder of the
year, Summer and Winter, is 'a mod-
estly furnished lower room at 200 Eld-
ridge Street, in the very heart of the
east side New York slums. There the
poor and wretched, all sorts and con-
ditions of men and women, all types
of human misery, can reach her. Her
immediate neighbors are squalid; dirty
hordes of Hungarians, Polaks, Low
Dutch, and Russian Hebrews.
It was over thirty years ago that
Mrs. Bird, on her removal North, af‘
ter the war, began her unpretentious
rescue work with a woman’s meeting
at Plymouth Bethel, in Brooklyn,
Seven years ago she transferred her
labors to the lost women of New York,
where she worked her way among the
vicious, abandoned denizens of the
:lives and dance halls in disguise. In
those days she had to adopt this course
to avoid personal violence. She would
go to the room of her earliest convert,
doff her silks and sealskins, put on a
faded old.calico and dingy shawl, and
in the conventional slum raiment gain
access anywhere she wished without a
question. This is not necessary to-
day.
“I give the.- Gospel invitation,” she
said rec “to over 40,000 lost men
each You wouldn’t believe it,
but every Sunday morning no less
than 15,305: men come out of those
3‘s
cheap i‘fowery lodging houses, with.no
.home, no friends, no money, and no
place to go. Their rags, remorse, and
degradation drive ,them from the
churches. They ask and expect no
Christian sympathy, but we always
have a hearty welcome for them at
the Mission. Ours is the only Sunday
morning service for men exclusively
in this vast city. During the hottest
Summer days you can see these
wretched creatures sit four and five
hours (lunch time included) listening
quietly tr..- tiie Gospel service,- the
hymns, .2.;;d the testimony of converts,
How many Christian cengregations
would do this on a sultry day?
“Good people sometimes think I
must be throwing my life and labor
away on men who are too far gone to
be rescued. but I am more than satis-
fied with the harvest.” ' »'

OLD-TIME SWEETNESS GON E.
Molasses Is Now Made Into Rum and
Brown Sugar Can’t Be Bought.
“The old fashioned molasses is
rapidly disappearing as an article of.
commerce,” said a prominent, grocer:
“and in its place have come a number;
of syrups, which are more costly and
by no means as‘satisfactory, especialr
1y to the little ones, who delight, as.
we did when we were young, in hav-
ing ’lasses on' their bread. Most of 2'
the molasses goes into the distilleries,;
where it is made into rum, for which,i
notwithstanding the efforts of ourl
temperance workers, the demand is
constantly on the increase, especialyf
in the New England States and for‘
the export trade. The regular drinker
of rum will take no other liquors in"
its place if he can help it. It seems to
reach the spot more directly than any
other dram. The ,darker brown su-
gars have also disappeared, and they
are not likely to return, owing to the
methods of boiling and the manufac-
ture. Granulated sugar is of the
same composition, as far as saccharine
qualities are concerned, as loaf, cut,
loaf cube, and crushed, and differs
from them only in that its crystals do
not cohere. This is because it is con-
stantly stirred during the process of
crystalization. .The lighter brown su-
gars taste sweeter than the white, for
the reason that there is some molasses
in them. Housekeepers have difficulty
these days in finding coarse, dark su-
gars, which are always preferred, for
use in putting up sweet pickles, mak-
ing cakes, and similar uses. As they
cannot get brown sugar any more, it
may be well for them to remember
that they can simulate brown sugar by
adding a teaspoonful of molases to
~ each quarter of a pound of the white
granulated sugar. This combination
does as well in all household receipts
that call for brown sugar as the arti-
cle itself, and beside it saves them a
great deal of hunting for brown su-
gar, which as said before, has disap-
peared from the market.”
A FAIR TENNESSEE ARCHITECT.
She Designed the “’omen’s Building of
the Nashville Exposition.
Miss Sara Ward Coonley is the archi-
tect of the Woman’s buildingof the
Tennessee Exposition. She' submitted
her plans in competition with others,
and not only were the committee un-
animous in accepting them but the
managers of the Exposition engaged
her to supervise the construction of the
building.
MISS SARA WARD COONLEY.
Miss Coonley has studied along the
line of archite ttures in ceher school girl
days. which were not so very long ago,
and has besides the art acquired the
practical part of supervising construc-
tion, selecting materials and engaging
labor.
Her attainments are not so difficult
to acquire, as may seem to one entirely '. . . _ ,
of this constantly lowering price list of
unacquainted with the profession. The
occupation of designing, in its various
branches affords a pleasant, lucrative
and congenial undertaking for the fem-
inine mind,and in its possibilities offer-2
ample opportunities for the highest
aspirations.

WONDERFUL FEATS'OF W. J. BRYAN
AND F. E. WHITE AS FREE TRADE
AND FREE SILVER DEMOCRATS. '
they Both Land and Curse Cheapness.
First Credit It to Inventive Genius and
Then Blame It on the "Crime of '73.’
What 13'. E. White Said In 1892—‘This '
Universal Blessing of Lower Prices.”
“Things Sell Lower Because They Are
Made Cheaper"—“They Are Made Cheap-
er Because of Better Methods and Proo-
esaear—no Should Explain His Present
Inconsistent rosition and Statements.
There are no greater economic acro-
bats than the silver Democrats now giv-
ing exhibitions in this country. They
turn somersaults and flipflaps backward
and forward so fast that it makes us
(dizzy to watch them. In one year or one
campaign they are landing Cheapness
and the inventive genius which caused
it, and in the next they are cursing
cheapnels and the cause of cheapness.
All of the free trade silver Democrats
have done this act. They have had to
do it and still have to do it whenever
they let loose on these two subjects, as
most of them are wont to do. It is im-
possible to be a free trader and not be-
lieve in low prices. It is impossible to
believe in the “crime of 1873” as the
cause of the great and “ruinous” fall
of prices which has since occurred and
not believe that low prices are a curse.
Because he saw the inconsistency of
it, or for. political reasons, W. J. Bry-
an, in his canvass last year, practi-
cally refused to talk tariff and spent his
time discussing the lack of money and
the evils of low prices. If he had talked
tariff, he would have been in danger of
. repeating his speech of March 16, 1892.
in which he said, “ You must at-
tribute it to_ the inventive gen-
ius. * * * That is what has
brought down prices in this
country and everywhere.”
But Bryan is not a candidate for
office this year. We will devote our at-
tention'to one who has been conspicu-
ous since 1892 as a free trade Democrat,
and who is now. because of his nomina-
tion for governor of Iowa, conspicuous
as a silver Democrat. Of course the
Hon. Frederick E. White is now saying
that “the people need more money,”
and that “an abundance of money will
stimulate all kinds of industries, ” and
“that will increase the price of every-
thing and benefit everybody. " He also
says “the dollar of today buys altogeth-
er too much, ” and the rest of the whole
rigmarole of free silver and cheap money
wisdom. What, now, did this same Mr.
White say in his great speech of June
15, 1892?
Under the subheads “Cheapness” and
“The Real Cause of Cheapness” he
made some statements so wholly incon-.
sistent with his present position and
' statements that he will have great diffi-
culty in explaining away this inconsist-
ency. His remarks at that time being a
fair sample of those of scores of other
silver Democrats made then and since.
we quote them below at some length:
“The stubborn fact, the historic truth,
Z stares every intelligent man in the face,
that everything made by human hands
or that is in any, sense the result of hu-
5 man skill has‘been getting constantly

all the other timber-woods of the
world. Trees from ten to fifteen feel
in diameter and three hundred feel
igh are not uncommon, and a few at-
tain a height of three hundred and fif-
ty feet, or even four hundred, with a
diameter at the base of fifteen or twen-
ty feet or more, While the ground he-
neath them is a garden of fresh, exu-
berant'ferns, lilies, gaultheria, and

e.n flank of the Sierra in a partially
uteri‘upted belt about two hundred and
fifty miles long, at a height of from
{our to eight thousand feet above the
sea. The enormous logs, too heavy to
handle, are blasted‘into manageable
dimensions with gunpowder. A large
portion of the best timber is thus shat-
tered and destroyed, and, with the
huge, knotty tops, is left, in ruins for

and in others where free trade prevails,
and notably so in England, where the

stantly improving industrial condition
caused primarily by mechanical inven-
tions, scientific discoveries and the pro-
motion of general knowledge. It is a
higher order of human ingenuity and
industry, a more practical industrial
education, all resulting in superior
methods of manufacture. The slow,
clumsy ways of our forefathers have
given way to the improved methods of
a more mechanical age.

Arrest of 3. Forget of Stampg.
New Orleans, Aug. 23.—James PIS Pel-
letier, a stamp dealer, has been indicted
for forgery in connection with judicial
stamps;
documents before filing. The proceeds
are devoted to paying judicial expenses.
Payments are two years behind, and it
was discovered that old stamps have
been taken from documents, cancella-
tion marks erased and the stamps used
again. The steal amounts to many
thousands and has been going on for 10
years. Pelletier has been selling large
quantities of stamps at prices 20 Del
cent lower than the state, but denies
that he ever removed the cancellation
marks, and ‘ says he purchased the
stamps in the ordinary course of busi-

A NEWMILITARY ORDER.
An Organization Formed for Defense
" Against Foreign Aggression.
The Military Order of Foreign Wars
of the United States is one of the
many organizations which have come
into existence in recent years as the
result of a sort of revival of patriotic
I pride. While some of them incidental-
] ly afford opportunities for the display
I of genealogical records, they all tend
to strengthen patriotic interest in our
I national past and to bring all sections
i closer together in the present. The Mill-

tary Order of Foreign Wars “stands
for the needed and honorable princi-
ple of national defense against foreign
aggression,” and “covers the period of
American history since national inde-
pendence.” Companionship is limited
to participants in actual warfare, or
to direct descendants, in the male line
only, from commissioned officers who
took part in a foreign war of the
United States. The order includes in
its officers and membership many of
the most distinguished men of all sec-
tions, and should form another pa-
triotic bond of union between the dif-
ferent parts of the country.
