Mr. Rockefeller Recommends
Philanthropy Combination.
Says That Much Money Now
Wasted Can Be Saved. .
HE MUST BE SHOWN.
Before He Pays Attention
Appeals for Aid.
to
Late Dr. Harper Never Asked
HimloraCert.
New Tork, Dec. 28 "If a. combination
to do business is effective in saving
waste and in getting better. results, why
Is not combination far more important
In philanthropic work?" In this question
is set forth the text of an article by
John T. Rockefeller, head of the Stand
ard Oil interests published in the cur
rent Issue of the World's Work. The
general subject of Mr. Rockefeller's ar
ticle is "The value of the co-operative
principle in giving."
Mr. Rockefeller expresses the belief
that the general idea of co-operation in
giving for education scored "a real step
In advance when Mr. Andrew Carnegie
consented to become a member of the
general education board, for in ac
cepting a position in this directory he
lias, it seems to me. stamped with his
approval this vital principle of co-operation
in aiding the educational insti
tutions of our country."
He goes on to describe in some detail
the work of the general education board
which he says has made or is making
a careful study of the location, aims,
work, resources, administration and ed
ucational value present and prospective,
of the institutions of higher learning in
the United States. The board, he says,
makes its contribution averaging some
thing like $2,000,000 a year, or the most
careful comparative estimate of needs
and opportunities throughout the coun
try. "Its records are open to all. Many
benefactors of education are availing
themselves of these disinterested inquir
ies, and it is hoped that more will do
60."
Some interesting general remarks
on the subject of benevolence illumin
ate Mr. Rockefeller's point of view.
For instance he says:
Much Money Wasted.
"To help an inefficient, ill-located,
unnecessary school is a waste. I am
told by those who have given most
careful study to this problem that it is
highly probable that enough money
has been squandered on unwise educa
tional projects to have built up a na
tional system of higher education ade
quate to our need if the money had
been properly directed to that end."
Of Roman Catholic methods Mr.
Rockefeller said that he has seen the
organization of the Roman church se
cure better results with a given sum
of money than other church organi
zations are accustomed to secure from
the same expenditure. "It is unnec
essary to dwell upon the centuries of
experience which the Church of Rome
has gone through to perfect a great
power of organization."
Commenting upon the great mass of
appealing letters received Mr. Rock
efeller says that four-fifths of them
are requests for money for personal
use. "with no other title to considera
tion than that the writer would be
gratified to have it."
Mr. Rockefeller pays a warm trib
ute to the memory of the late Dr.
William R. Harper, president of the
University of Chicago and makes
without qualification the statement
which will be surprising many per
sons, "that during the entire period
of his presidency of the University of
Chicago, he never once either wrote
me a letter or asked personally for
a dollar of money for the university."
How to Oct Money.
He goes on to explain that in thisasin
all other cases the gifts to the univer
sity were the result of the presenta
tion of its needs "made in writing by
the officers of the university, whose
special duty it is to prepare its
budgets and superintend its finances.
It is not personal interviews and im
passioned appeals, but sound and jus
tifying worth that should attract and
ffoii-c the funds of phrlanthropy.
The people in great numbers who are
constantly importuning me for per
sonal interviews in behalf of favorite
causes err in supposing that the inter
view, were it possible, is the best way,
or even a good way, of seeuring what
they want."
In the course of his article Mr.
Rockefeller says of himself: "Criti
cism that is deliberate, sober and fair
is always valuable and It should be
welcomed by all who desire progress.
1 have had "at least my full share of
adverse criticism, but I can truly Fay
that it has not embittered me. nor left
me with any harsh feeling against a
living soul. Nor do I wish to be critical
of. those whose conscientious judg
ment, frankly expressed differs from
my own. No matter- how - noisy the
pessimists may be: we know that the
world is getting better steadily and
rapidly, and that it is1 a good thing to
remember In our moments or aepres
sion or humiliations."
WANT POSTAIj BANKS NOW.
Western People Are Bearing Doth on
Members of Congress.
Chicago, Dec. 28. In a special news
article under a Washington date the
Record-Herald today says:
"Great pressure is being brought to
bear upon senators and representa
tives in favor of the passage of the
postal savings bank bill. Most of this
pressure comes from the Mississippi
valley, where public opinion in favor
of the postal bank is very strong. Sena
tor Aldrich and the other leaders of
the upper branch have already decid
ed that the pending bill can not pass
a this session and it is probable they
will have their way.
"The plan is to hold up the postal
bank bill till the comprehensive finan
cial plan, the reorganization of our
whole banking and currency system
which the national monetary commis
sion is now preparing, may be ready
for the consideration of congress.
"This does not suit the western or
progressive Republicans. They do not
want to wait and see no reason why
there should be so much delay. They
take the view held by Judge Taft that
the Republican party having pledged
itself to the postal savings bank plan,
no valid argument can be brought for
ward in defense of indefinite postpone
ment of carrying out the promise."
DEEDS OF HEROISM.
Two Persons Rescued From a Burn
ing Frame Building.
New Tork, Dec. 28. Two men were
painfully injured, one perhaps fatally,
the lives of a score of men, women and
children were endangered and $10,000
worth of property was destroyed in a
fire in a three story frame building at
Third avenue and Sixty-seventh street.
Brooklyn, early today. Two deeds of
more than usual heroism marked the
fire.
Charles Tucker, a young man, who
lived with his parents on the second
floor of the burned building, carried his
12-year-old invalid sister Ethel down
the smoke enveloped stairs to safety.
Fire Lieutenant Jareck was left on the
third floor after his comrades had been
rescued by the crew of a hook and lad
der company. Seeing his plight Fire
men James McCrone and John McCue
rushed up a ladder after Jareck. While
bringing him down, the ladder broke,
hurling the three men to the sidewalk.
Jareck fell under his two rescuers and
it is believed was injured internally.
HE OPPOSES SPOTTERS.
Rev. J. A. Milburn Would Rather Boy
Would Smoke Than Lie.
Chicago, Dec. 28. Rev. Joseph A.
Milburn has voiced severe condemna
tion of the method of employing boys
to procure evidence against cigarette
dealers.
"I would rather sell cigarettes all
day long." he declared, "than tempt
young boys to go into places where
they are sold and buy them in order
to get evidence against dealers who
are violating the city ordinances in
this regard.
"There is no man so low. so disre
putable, as the man who will tell a lie.
who will practice deception. I do not
approve of the practice of obtaining
evidence through the assistance of lit
tle children. If you go up the street
and attempt to get him to buy cigar
ettes for vou, you have corrupted that
lad.
"I would rather that my boy. If I
had one, should smoke cigarettes from
morning until night, than that he
should become a liar."

As a High Juniper He Has Other Fleas
Beaten to a Frazzle.
Philadelphia. Dec. 28. Dr. Carroll
Fox of this city, who has been investi
gating the bubonic plague situation in
San Francisco, has discovered a new
species of flea, according to word that
has reached the medical men here.
During his work on the coast he found
in his experiments that fleas on the
bodies of rats infected with the plague
were the media ' of transferring the
disease to human beings. This nat
urally led to a close scrutiny of the
flea and the physician was interested
to ascertain that a new species was ap
parent, being without eyes and having
a row of sixth teeth. In color the fleas
in question were much lighter than the
ordinary variety. It is noted also for
its ability as a high jumper, greatly
exceeding the ordinary flea in this
characteristic.
COFFIN CAUGHT FIRE.
Body of a Dead Child Narrowly Es
caped Cremation.
New Tork, Dec. 28. A blazing cur
tain, wind tossed into a candle flame.
in a Williamsburg flat, set fire to a
white coffin in which lay the body of
nve-year-old May O Connor. In an
adjoining room Mrs. Mary O'Connor,
the dead child's mother, saw the coffin
ablaze, but being an invalid, was un
able to leave her bed. She screamed
in terror, then lost consciousness. Ed
ward O'Connor, the husband, assisted
by his brother-in-law, finally put out
the fire after being summoned from a
nearby barbershop by neighbors. The
child's body was saved from crema
tion and the invalid mother was car
ried from the apartments.
Seriously ill when the Are occurred,
the shock so aggravated her condition
that It is feared she cannot live. The
child was buried later in Calvary" cemetery.
HAS MONEY LEFT.
Frisco Relief Corporation to Distrib
ute $397,267.25 to Charity.
San Francisco, Dec. 28. With a
balance of J397, 267.25 on hand the
relief corporation, which had charge
of the distribution of the fund donated
to San Francisco at the time of the
fire of 1906, will turn this money over
to the various charitable organizations
and go oat of existence the first of the
year. Enuring its existence the cor
poration distributed $9,553,140.76.
The actual cost of administering the
affairs of the society from August 1,
1906. to the present time was $125,
021.27. 2.03 per cent of the entire sum
disbursed.
Roughly speaking the relief corpor
ation has provided and assisted in
providing about 8.000 homes in this
city, or shelter for about 30,000 per
sons at a cost of about $1,900,000,
which is of a permanent character,
and ranges all the way from the refu
gee cottage that was moved from the
camp to the North Beach flats which
were constructed with the aid of the
building bonus money.
The relief home for aged and in
firm, built at an expenditure of $374,-
5.67.89. and presented to the city, is
also of a permanent character. Be
sides this laree , contributions by the
society to many hospitals and other
charities have materially aided in their
rehabilitation, and is of a permanent
benefit.
Of the vast sum of subscription
money received every cent Is account
ed for, and but $608.95 Is on the books
of the relief corporation without the
donor's name.
IMPROVE NOT ABOLISH.
Is a Suggestion Regarding the Five
Cent Theaters.
Chicago, Dec. 28. In reference to the
present agitation concerning the con
duct of five cent theaters. Rev. A. E.
Bartlett presents the view that the en
tertainments should be improved rath
er than abolished. .
"Amusements have no character in
and of themselves;" he says, "they are
good or bad as the people make them
so. It is both unjust and unwise to
condemn outright dancing, card play
ing and theater going. . All wholesome
amusements are needed, but instead of
trying to abolish them the church
should seek to purify and uplift them.
The five cent theater has become one
of the great problems in recreation
which our city must solve.: Its. low
price has enabled it to reach the multi
tudes, including many children. Our
city needs these cheap amusements but
it does not need nor should it suffer
coarse and unclean entertainments.
"The censorship has improved them
but competition is keen and if the
watchful eye is taken off them they
will quickly degenerate."
The shakeup of five cent theaters
continues to engage the attention of
the authorities. Various methods of
evading the law have been discovered
by Fire Chief Horan in a general per
sonal inspection.

An Old Adage Fails.
Chicago. Dec. 28. This city has sup
plied during the last week a tangible
proof of the fallacy of the old adage,
"A green Christmas makes a fat
graveyard." No Christmas has been
"greener" than the one which has just
passed, yet the death rate 11.59 to the
1.000 is the lowest ever recorded for a
week in December.
Chicago, Dec. 28. "A honeymoon
in the clouds," says the Record-Herald
today, "is the remarkable arrange
ment for a wedding trip made by
Charles A. Coey, prominent in automo
bile circles and an enthusiastic aero
naut. .His marriage with Mis Carrie
Hume Lewis of Kansas City, Mo... will
take place in that city next Saturday
morning. Mr. Coey shipped his im
mense balloon, the Chicago, and his
de luxe automobile to Los Angeles a
week ago. Immediately after the mar
riage ceremony Mr. Coey and his
bride will start for the California city
where they will spend two months in
motoring and making balloon ascen
scions. His fiancee. Mr. Coey explains, has
been an enthusiast for some time in
aeronautics.
"I am told," he said, "that experi
ments have been made at Los An
geles, which show that at an altitude
of about 20,000 feet there is an air
current which will carry a balloon east
ward. My balloon ia big enough for
every reasonable trial and if I find
conditions suitable it is likely that we
will sail back over the mountains to
Chicago and crop in on our friends."

Is Favored toy Congressman Clayton of
Alabama.
Washington. Dec. 28. Henry D. Clay
tori of Alabama, chairman of the Dem
ocratic caucus of the house, today ex
pressed his views as to the Democratic
attitude in the propose revision of the
tariff. "I have the most implicit con
fidence in the capacity of Champ Clark
and his Democratic associate of the
ways and means committee," said Mr.
Clayton, "and would in no particular
invade their appointed jurisdiction to
speak for my party in committee de
liberations 'on the tariff. Indeed. 1
would vote Tor any revenue measure
they might propose, but as a Democrat
and the representative of a country
grievously oppressed by the actions of
the private interests of the Dingley law
I do not believe it impertinence on my
part to offer some suggestions.
"In my opinion it is not sufficient for
the' Democrats in the congress to as
sume - an- attitude of simple negation
and inerely oppose what the Republi
cans Offer.-- We must formulate an en
tire tariff bill, covering every schedule
from agates to zinc, and go to the com.
mlttee of the whole with it. champion
it, demand revision on Jts every sched
ule and ask for the yeas and nays on It
in the houise. The bill should be care
fully considered in principle and in de
tailin short, it should be a measure
we can go to the -country on.
"Then sve are to have, so it is said,
the maximum and minimum which is
another name for reciprocity. Of
course the Republicans will insist on
making the maximum as big as they
dare: but our bill might fit in for the
minimum in some of the schedules anil
let us press it.
"The Republicans can not rice the
tariff 'down.' Who gathers figs from
thistles, or grapes from thorns? And
yet that is the crop of figs and grapes
Cannon. Aldrich. Burrows Dalzell and
company will give.
"We want a complete bill on which
to go to the country in 1910."

A Doctors Success
There's a reason. Not all who' visit the doctor In his comfortable and
well equipped offices come under his care. Many need but a word of
kindly advice.-which is cheerfully given. All examinations are carefully
made and unless treatment is absolutely necessary it is never advised.
No incurable cases accepted for treatment.
VARIOCFXK I cure this disease without operation or ligature, and
under my treatment the congested condition disappears. The parts are
restored to tftfiir natural condition, vigor and strerjth and circulation
established.
CONTAGIOUS BIjOOO POISON It may be in its primary stage, or It
may have been hereditary or contracted in early days, thereby being
comrtitutional. I cure all complications; I stop its progress, eradicate
every vestige of poison from the system, and that without the use of
mercury or potash. Once cured you remain forever cured.
