It wa.- pretty hard to find such a man as V.A anything to do, but by per tinency I la:;hd him." The rt.'f.rtrr r.sk'd Mr. Rengin If any professional men ever came there to ask for assistance. "Prof -'. nal men, like people In every walk rf Ufr." he Fail, "met with mlsfor- j tun?, and they sme times s-uffer the very bittere .-t poverty. I hive Lad lawyers, doe- J tors, pre aehr?, fohonlienc her- and nil of ; that clas of r rofi -i!j;il m-n here. The y I arc brought to revers. s many cf them by j thinking that there are gr at opportunities i In tho city, an 1 so they leave their homes In the country towns nr.d on the farms anil come to Indianapolis only to meet with dis appointment. And then again whisky plays its part with these men the same as any one else. OUT OP EMPLOYMENT. "Then we have the business man. clerks and that order of men who .are unfortunate by getting out of employment and are un able to g-.t started again. I remember one old man who was a dry goods clerk from .,'hicago, and ha 1 got out of employment Vrobably on account of his age. He was here at the Inn for four or live months, then went W-t, and I received a letter from him net long ago saying that he was getting along all light. Now, I want to em phasize the fact that men like these I have Just been talking about are not the box car cpecles?. They come here and really amount to something. Last year there was sawed, split and delivered JI.OjO worth of wood from this place. "The men who come here from all sta tions of life, who are unfortunate and can not get work, but ari more than willing to work, would excite your sympathy. Some of them are old and unfit for labor, yet they are not eligible to the county poor house because they are not residents of this county. They could, of course, be transfercrd to the county which they come from, and this Is very often done, but they have a horror of going to the poorhouse, and pome of them would rather starve than do this." "Are there any extreme cases of poverty In thl3 city?" Mr. Reagin was asked. "I .cuppo?e somewhere In the city there Is poverty In Its worst form, but I don't know of It. And I want to say if there Is such need not : tho case, because the charity organizations and the County Commission ers are always willing and pleased to help any worthy person in need. Positively there 13 no reason why any man, woman or child should suffer from poverty In this city. "The County Commissioners gave $000 to this Institution this year. They paid us a visit, and, Peeing how things wero done, donated u.s that turn of money. They real ized that an institution of this kind did a great deal of good. If it wasn't for such a place as this a great many men would be driven to desperation. I will say that there 13 less robbery in Indianapolis than of any place of its size; in the country." WITHOUT MUCH HOPE. Mr. Reagin was asked if th. se unfortu nate men displayed any character, and re plied: "No; the majority of them work along In a listless kind of way, seemingly taking litle interest in their surroundings. They appea-r to loe all of their ambition until they can get started again, and some of them turn out pr.tty well. Among the class of men who come here we find many that are good Christians. Some of the best praying men on earth are here. We have posptl meetings every Sunday after noon ami any or.o would bo surprised at the Interest tho inmates of this plact manifest. "I'll tell you where people make a, great mistake, and that is in helping these street beggars. They do not deserve a epuarler of the sympathy they receive. These blind musicians whom every one sees on "Wash ington street are there from their own choosing und not from necessity. One of those men I know in particular, who, as soon as he becomes tired of sawing on his old fiddle, repairs to a barrel house and gambles hi3 money away for drinks. I remember not long ago a boy who had both legs paralyzed sat on one of the down town streets and created a great deal of sympathy on account of his pitiable condi tion. Mr. Grout, of the Charity Organiza tion, had. the case Investigated and found that the by was from some small town out In the State and that his parents were well off and were willing to take care of him, but refused to give him money to buy whisky with. "The place for all of these cases of crip pled and blind beggars is the county In firmary. Hut, of course, they make money by sitting on the street, and so long as they do thli they will continue to be an eyesore to the public. Some of these street leggars come from families of beggars. You can trace them back for whole generations. There is never anything expected of this class more than that they will beg. They are reared to It and it Is born in them. "Here at tho inn we never judge persons by what they say, but by what they do. We require that for a night's lodging they must do about 10 cents worth of work, and for a meal the same amount. That means that a man will have to saw and split about one-ti;hth rf a cord of wood. Any good active man can do it in forty minutes, while it will take an hour for one not quite so spry. When they first come here we fumigate their clothes and make them take a hot bath. If, after fumigation, their clothes r.rc found unfit to wear we furnish them with others which are given us from people about town." NEEDS OF THE WORKERS. (CONTU'DKH FROM PA ("IF 13.) even in such a law-abiding country as Ling land. RAI LWAY REGULATIONS. But everybody admits that the railway which runs into Liverpool street, and which, coming from tho east, necessarily takes in many working-class suburbs, is the least amongst the transgressors both as to rates and the time at which it runs Its working-class tiair.s. Its boast Is that tvery day it has a hundred trains in motion lor the benel.t of London's toilers. Dally, too, it transports thousands of this class ten miles and back for the small sum of lour cents, and this, so far as it goes, would seem to be all that could be desired. But these temptingly cheap trains begin running very early m the morning and give place after an hour or so to trains which exact a little more than four cents for the round trip, these, in turn. King supplanted, s thi morning hours advance, by trains of still higher fare, until finally, and too tarly, as th workers and their friends aro loudly claiming, no trains are run at other than the c-rdlnary rates. Out of this statement the reader will easi ly gather almost everything necessary to ft full understanding of the. early morning thcltr problem which is being so happily oived, on a small stale, by the down town Church of All Hallows-on-the-Wall. Naturally both tho men and the women, worklr.j on a small wage, :s they are cum X tiled to do !n this country, count every penny saved on railway fare as that much to tho good fur etil r purposes, the result telng that ninny t;iko tho earliest and cheapest trains, like clerks, shop assistants And women employ d In the sewing rooms cf Us stores, who would, perhaps,, if they only looked at the Mtuatlon with less re tard to tho saving of a few pence, better prcmoto their physical well-LUiijf by 1- malning in bed an hour longer and paying the slightly increased fare of trains run ning later. HOURS OF LABOR. It must not, of course, be overlooked that the class of workers here mentioned begin their daily labor much later In England than In the United State ?. and continue to a later hour in the evening. For shop as sistants and sewing girls 9 a. m. is about the average in London, and for those en gaged in office work, most of them not get ting more than or J7.) a week, the day's labor scarcely ever begins before l:20 and often not. until 10. So thit for those who take advantage of the cheapest trains there Is a long and dreary interval between their arrival at tho railway station and the tlmo when they can enter their places of employment. For tho men there is always, of course, a warm welcome In the public house, and for tho girls, too, If they choose to go there. Rut the usual recourse of both classes is a wearisome perambulation of the streets, which, in damp weather, and with the never-absent fog of a London morning in autumn and winter, must bo dreadfully depressing to both the health and the spirits. "Why," said the Rev. Montague Fowler, as he pointed proudly to his happy early-morning company of good-looking, tidily-dressed young ladies, waiting in the shelter of All Hallows for the time to be gin their day's work "Why," he said, with a warm enthusiasm, "before we opened our church to them this same class of girls used fo die off like rats with pul monary complaints." Ono effect of this novel and most com mendable work at All-Hallows-on-the-Wall will undoubtedly be to stimulate other churches In the neighborhood of railway stations to go and do likewise. There is al ready a certainty that other churches will go into the morning shelter business, and also tha halls and disused storerooms will be requisitioned for this commendable cause. But the most practical result of all Is likely to bo tho increased public and governmental pressure which will bo brought to bear upon the railway com panies, looking toward an extension of the time during which their cheap trains are run. An active agitator In this interest, a3 in many other philanthropic causes. Is Dr. Macnamara, M. P., for Camberwell, who strenuously contends in Parliament and the press that the railway companies are not keeping their contract. In eighteen years the Board of Trade, he says, has given them, as a return for their reduced fares to working men, a rebate of duties amounting to $1J,000,X)0, and the railways, ho says, have made no adequate return tor this. HENRY TIICKLCY. HOW TO TREAT A COLD. AVI.en Simple Remedies Fail They Must lie Reinforced. It Is a fact that one catches cold by get ting too hot and suddenly cooling off. The man who throws his coat off when over heated and sits in a draught to cool off is inviting a visit from that bete noir of the north, a cold. The belle of the ball, in her V corsage, all of a glow, standing by the open window, is signaling for a cold, and pneu monia, the forerunner of death, will speed ily obey the summons. The man who hugs the register and then goes out Into the bit ing air Is throwing a thousand doors open j for a cold, for the pore's are relaxed and ! cannot resist the entrance of the chilling air. The man who thinks to keep healthy by bundling up and transforming himself into a polar bear as far as wool and fur is concerned, is taking a through ticket for a cold. Too much clothing is worse than too little, because the system ear-not resist heat as well as it can endure cold. Heat is enervating; it saps tho vigor; but cold is invigorating; it stimulates tho vital forces. But suppose you have caught a col !, goodness knows how, how will you treat it? Certainly not with whisky, it Is to be hoped; for If that is your plan, you may have a cold all the time, thinking the rem edy, contrary to the rule, better than the disease. Having caught your cold, ninety nine out of a hundred will say at once: "Oh, let it alone! It will get well of itself!" And the majority will emphasize their pre cept by their example. Some doctors, too, will foolishly join In the popular cry: "It's only a cold," and look upon it as a trivial matter, neglecting that which may ter minate seriously. If not fatally. Such ad vice is homicide, and such practice suicidal, for an ordinary cold is a simple form of fever, an external manifestation of in ternal congestion and inflammation, the only difference between a slight cold and a high fever being one of degree, for as a smoldering spark may break into a devour ing flame, so a light cold may develop into a consuming fever. A simple cold is often the starting point of a long and wasting disease, never to be cured, and ending only with life. It is, so to speak, the entering wedge of death. Once the thin-edge is en tered the "house of life" is easily broken. A person who lias become suddenly chilled presents a blanched appearance, due to an unequal distribution of the blood. In ternal organs are oversupplied with blood while the blood vessels of the skin are con tracted and comparatively empty. The rea son is plain. Cold contracts the arteries, and these being diminished in size less blood flows through them. Consequently, the internal organs, the lungs especially, or the brain, oftentimes, become engorged with blood; they are in a state of active congestion, and if tho normal equilibrium of the circulation is not quickly restored, this will become a focus of disease, the active congestion will become passive, and Inflammation will ensue. The b!ooJ de barred from Its natural course becomes laden with Impurities and poisons the sys tem instead of relieving it of waste prod ucts and nourishing it. The skin refuses to perform its functions of health and the process of radiation,-by the aid of which nature' keeps the body temperature equal, is retarded; consequently, the heat of the blood rises and fever results. As soon as the skin resumes Its normal functions and the nervous system regains control of the 1 A GOOD (JUFSS. Fond Mother Ho 1 a bri;ht child and knows whole chapters of the Libia by heart Pardon Who was "Doubting Thomas?' Bobtie Llpton. I reckon. blood system, the heat falls, the fever sub sides. Such, in brief, is the natural history of a cold. A cold may be divided Int1 three stages, each being marked by a characteristic set of symptoms: First, there is the cold stage, that of In vasion, marked by chilliness and often by shivering; second, there come3 the hot stage, that of fever or congestion, marked by a hot skin, dry mouth, intense thirst, headache and lassitude; third, there is the stage of perspiration, of resolution, the breaking up of the cold, through the re sumption by the body and its organs of their natural functions. Taking our cue from nature we found our treatment on her dictates, endeavoring to Induce: First, free elimination of foreign material from the blood; second, a reduction of the abnormal heat. The first purpose may be brought about most efficaciously through the kidneys. The second Is accomplished through the skin. A means to the end In both cases is an abundant supply of fluid. Nature's first and imperative call Is for fluid, and every fever patient instinctively craves this. By the tenets of the old school, patients were refused water, and died in all the agonies of a martyr burning by Inches at the stake of science, a victim to the dogma of error. At the present day we think It undoubtedly beneficial to give a patient iced water, little and often; lemon ade, hot or cold; acid phosphate, grape juice or champagne, to ally the thirst and burning dryness of a fever patient; and we feed such an one upon hot bouillon, strong beef tea, tea or coffee, gruel or porridge, hot water and wine, or the popular hot brandy and water, or rock and rye; each being given with a definite, determinate purpose of promoting perspiration and in ducing action of the kidneys and bowels. The latter articles mentioned, some of them at least, have, in addition, a nutritive value which adds to or reinforces the vital forces of resistance, .stimulating the body to throw off the disease and resist its Inroads. " Such simple remedies are often sufficient to break up a cold, if properly resorted to; they may, at least, cut It short, especially if aided by external warmth which will de termine the flow of blood to the skin, thus relieving the internal organs of undue pres sure and eliminating much injurious mat ter. This object may be attained by giving tho patient a hot water bath, or a foot bath with a spoonful of mustard added, as a stimulant and counter-irritant, and then we put the patient to bed between woolen blankets, with a bag of hot water to the feet, or a hot brick, or a bag of hot sand; and we treat the patient to a glass of hot lemonade or ginger tea, insisting that he or she shall remain covered, however un comfortable and oppressive the weight of clothing may feel, and not make a bad matter worse by throwing off the blankets the moment perspiration begins. After the sweating process is well established it is a good plan to rub the patient dry, after a suitable time, rather than allow a natural cooling off in the wet sheets. Care should bo taken not to expose the person need lessly during this drying-off process, as more cold may be added. Linen sheets should bo discarded, as they are dangerous to persons oven when in full health, as they retain moisture and ab stract heat faster than any other article of bedding. For the same reason It Is un healthy as a material for clothing, although this does not apply to the so-called "Lons dale" linen, which Is, in reality, a very fine cotton fabric, well deserving the place which it holds In the estimation of women as an agreeable material for underclothing. Woolen, on the other hand, by Its warmth and stimulating quality, Is beneficial, both in preventing a cold and treating it. Where there is a tendency to take cold easily, or to slight rheumatism and stiffness during the winter months, woolen underclothing should be worn during the day, and at night woolen blankets should be used to sleep in. If such a simple line of treatment does not suffice, we must reinforce it by diuret ics, that Is, remedies that stimulate the kidneys, promoting a flow of urine; and by dlapheretics, remedies that induce perspi ration. We may need, in addition, antipy retics, that is,' remedies that are antago nistic to fever, controlling or reducing it, and sedatives to relieve pain. Medicine strictly such, should be used with caution, if at all. If no doctor Is at hand some of the popu lar remedies may be tried. Of these, the most popular is sweet spirits of nitre, the dose of which is from one-half to one tea spoonful once In two or three hours. It may be given In sweetened water, or, prefer ably, combined as in the following simple prescription: For a Cold Take: Sweet spirits of nitre, 1 ounce; solution of sulphate of morphine, 1 ounce; syrup of tolu, 1 ounce. Dose: A tea spöonful every two hours. The morphine in this prescription eases any pain that may be present, and, in ad dition, has a direct inf ;ience in preventing further Inflammation, if any has arisen, and reducing that already existing. The syrup of tolu has no appreciable action other than that of a dllutent to make the mixture palatable. The sweet spirits of nitre Is diaphoretic and diuretic. The same effect may be gained by the use of Dover's powders, say 'in a ten-grain dose, Just before going to bed, in connec tion with the sweating process. This con tains ipecac, opium and sugar of milk, the medicinal effect being to allay irritation and pain and cause sweating. And speaking of sweating let me give a caution against the person who takes such treatment care lessly exposing himself after the process is over. Still, if a person Is careful to thor oughly dry himself end, perhaps, rub the body with a little alcohol and water and stimulate the pore3 to close by friction with a rough towel there need be no fear of catching cold by going out after a sweat and there is a feeling of buoyancy and a glow of health that can be obtained In no other way. This treatment will often break up a threatening cold if taken at the outset, but I r V . . ft C. Jii S- vi, ummi rr 3 1 tin.
