Flat Dwellers Who Keep Canines Scoffed At by Clubwoman. if two oi three asylums could be ejected for the Wiotlc people who will insist on keeping dogs in the city, Mrs. Margaret Holmes Bates would f»*l more reconciled to Hfe. She told the Political Btudy Club a? much yesterday, when women were getting up ajid saying: "Oh! how- ! loved Fldo: H» va« such n dear!" whil<- others sniffed as the? attempted to reveal the exact clrcumstajices under ■which thrlr loved black and tan had shuffled off this mortal coll. All these lucubrations were precipitated by a paper on "What Greater New-York Is Doing for the Protection of Its Animals," by Mrs. John F. Zebley. "From what I sea from my windows overlooking Central Park West," said Mrs. Bates, caustically. "I should say the dogs of the city were very well cared for There are processions of women going by all day to the park to air their dogs. I know h»aps of them by sight— by the dogs they keep, that is. Why. people go Into the park as late as 10 o'clock— there's a stout woman goes every night, ■whatever the weather, with two! People who keep dojrs In steam heated apartments advertise the fact the moment the door is opened." , "Well, 1 see no r»a*on for keeping dogs and ca.s in the city, anyway." said Mrs. Leroy Sunder land Smith, severely, "but horses!— what terrible cruelty to them: In this slippery weather you could see the poor things groping their way line humans, looking so anxious. "I'm In favor of keeping dogs in the city, re marked Mrs. John H. Judge stoutly. "And. as for exercising them, some people would never g^t any exercise at all if it wasn't for their dogs!" "It's cruelty to animals keeping dogs In apart ments," Mrs. Frank Miner Prindle objected, while Mrs. L. W. Boynton thought it absurd to laugh a t people for loving animals, instead of children they usually loved children, too. "I had a dog for twelve years," came in solemn accents from Mrs. Sally Morris Corey. "It was dying. As the agent of the Society for the Pre vention of Cruelty to Animals, to which I had ap plied, took it away in his arms, he said. 'Kiss your dog goodby. lady.' " (Laughter— from certain scof fers Tn the house.) Mrs. Corey beard it. "It wasn't funny. Indies. she said, majestically, turning so as to fix the offenders with an accusing eye. "It was a great grief. 1 -but 1 prefer not to finish my story, ana, choking, she sat down. DEPORTED IMMIGRANTS. Jewish Women to Raise Funds to Relieve Their Sufferings. "There Is no stat<-> so «ad .is that of the <lep..rte,l Immigrant." said Miss .Sidif- American at a meeting of th^ Council of Jewish Wome"., held In thp Wast End Synagogue yesterday afternoon. "I'oming penniless to this country, they are obliged to return penniless to their homes, with all their hopes dashed, and usually it is through no fault of their own. Perhaps false representations have been made to them by th»- agents of the steamship com pany, or they have some sickness which they did not know of. "Not much '-*n he donp for these people, hut one agent at Ellis Island. Mrs. Betty MeirowitX. with the aid of a small sum placed In her hands, lias been able to r'Si^c sony of th"ir sufferings.

This the trustees had beer unable to give, bui had suggested that such a prosperous body as the council ought to b<» abl" to raise the sum itself. M!fp American said ahr entertained the same opinion, and announced that the Jewish young women in the city would have an opportunity of considering 'he raising of money for such a fund at ;i meeting to be held on Friday afternoon at 3:4?. o'clock, at the West End Synagogue. Mrs. Meirowitz gave an address on her work ai Ellis Island, but as sh.< spoke in German a largp proportion of the audience was unable t,-> understand her.

S. : The report of our Sunshine work for January and February is as follows: On February 9 Miss Laura Sedgwick Col lins arranged a delightful evening. Charles Bar nard read his pretty play of "The County Fair." generously giving his services for the occasion. Miss Annette Hi mm added greatly to th» affair by her violin solos. The use of a studio at the Chelsea was graciously offered by the. courtesy of the resident artist, for which we hereby render beauty and appreciative thanks. Refreshments were served after the programme and the even- Ing was one of keen enjoyment, many expressing the wish that we would do something of the sort often. Oar proceeds .rom the sale of tickets and generous contributions of friends amounted to $123. As we have for years wanted to endow a scholar ship in the Pascal Institute, it seemed a most fit ting and beautiful time to do so at their valentine reception. We therefore sent a check for ISO on Valentine Day, with the hope that the recipient, in whom we shall have so much personal interest, would appreciate it and greatly benefit thereby, and In her turn do beautiful and equally practical things for the iess fortunate ones. MUss Emma Grmlnger, one of my members, of Leonardville, N. J.. sent a fine Columbia phono graph to be "passed on."' After much indecision and many suggestions as to its disposition, .we have arranged a travellirg route (.of a two weeks' stop), hoying to give pleasure to a number of people by that means. Ii is now at the Mothers' Meetings, the Girls' Club and Girls' Friendly Aid, at the church of the Rev. Dr. Taylor. March 1 it will go over to brighten and give .1 few gleams of real pleasure to the old men and wonu-n of the Almshouse on Blackwell's Island, than whoso lives none can be more dreary or utterly forlorn. We are going also to have a travelling banjo, and if some one will give us a good zither we can have quite an orchestra of strings Four families have hid constant care, illness compelling them to be under obligations to us which they are to repay threefold in the future when their good times come again. In one case a temporary loan meant salvation from despair of a good man who had been most unfortunate, and needed only the "boost" to get well under way. Mrs. R.. of Long Island, has sent her check for the student, who Is doing beautifully, and is most grateful. Our usual monthly V x of odds and ends has gone to the South Ferry branch of "Little Mothers." Heavy school coats and shoes were provided for three children who were suffering for them. Will some one "pass on" the "Good Housekeep ing" magazine to Mrs. E. S. Bromley, Clark Falls. Conn.? Yours in Sunshine, 1 Mr?. PIERREPONT A. GREENE. 1 resident. A MOONLIGHT PARTY. In the midst of the snow and ice it Is pleasant to know that some of the T. S. S. members are enjoy ing the warmth and beauty of sunny skies. J. H. Bryce. president of the Geneva <Fla.) branch, writes: "On Saturday evening we had a moonlight valentine party on the shores of Lake Geneva. Japanese lanterns and bonfires added to the festive appearance. The many pretty valentines received from T. S. S. members and the general office, for which we return thanks, were distributed on that occasion, and the little fclk were delighted with th* remembrances." In contrast to this picture of warm Southern sun shine comes the rep rf from Mr. Er.ni.", president of the Locke (Ark.) Neighborhood Circle. Being up in the mountains, the people suffered from the extreme weather of the last few weeks. Mr. Ennls write*: "On Sunday. February 12, it was IS degrees below zero. The stock suffered severely, and many young calve*, perished. We kept tires going all iilght in our home, and yet, in spit« of all effort, it was only 2 degrees above zero. Both of our country ptores were without flour or oil. so that we had to sit in darkness, and everybody h<?d to eat frozen potatoes, Instead of bread, It being impossible to ?o to the railroad for supplies. ' Even the grist mill froze up. so that tio corn could be ground. These hardships have caused considerable sickness among our people, but we try to bo cheery and look for ward to brighter days."

The free association of the boys and girls in the George Junior Republic wns pointed out :u one of the most inter«>stinc features of that lataveathcg institution at the monthly conference held yester day morning under the auspices of the Charity Or ganisation Society, in the assembly hall of the Charities Building. "The hoys and girls have separate meals." said the republic's representative, r:. K. Olcott. of the board of trustees, "but they are associated in their work, study and play, much as boys and girls would be in an ordinary family, and the effect has been excellent." Frederick Burnhnm, of the Berkshire Farm, said that hia boys were so bad that if was impossible to have any Rirls with then "They cant be any worse than ours." returned Mr. Olcott, and tlif worse they are the mor« they n»-ed with girls.

Monxay Wilii.-ims was de tained by illness, ami Evert Jansen Wendell, whom he. had asked to take his place, was called to Bos ton by a similar cause. The president of the George Junior Republic Association. Thomas M. Osborne, was also detained, .^nd Mr. Olcott stepped into the breach. After outlining thr- sy>ren» on which the repub lic :s conducted. Mr. Olcott toid of the recent re ception by the citizens of Alexander Stewart, the boy tnurdertr. who had just been pardoned by Gov ernor Higgins after four years" confinement at Sing Sing. "There was much excitemc-nr in the re public when it learned that he was coming, and a meeting of the citizens was called to consider how he should b» treated Realizing the seriousness of the situation, it occurred to - Padd>' O'Connor, the ex-president, that 'Daddy' George had better be present. So ho went to him and said. ■ "Paddy."' I think you had better come over. So. Mr. George went to th« meeting and told the citizens that Al exander was trying to lead .1 better Ufe and he wanted them to help him. This was enough. The re public gave him a most cordial welcome and "Paddy O'Connor took him under hts special protection. He Is now one of the .best citiaens In. th* republic" In answer to ?omp shocked Inquiries on th» part of the audience, Mr Olcott said that Sing Bint waa the only plac* to which children guilty" of capital offences could \>e senl HAARLEM PHILHARMONIC MUSICAL.

In th» daily papers recently I was horaifled to road of a mother, who had been for years a sufferer from asthma, putting her two little children to death that they might not grow up and suffer with the terrible disease. I send a formula which has been used for years and neve* fails to give relief in either asthma or bronchitis: Ore ounce of stra monium, leaves, one ounce of digitalis leaves, one ounce of sage leaves, one ounce of belladonna leave* and one-half ounce of nitre M ■ and burn, inhaling the smoke through nostrils for fifteen or twenty minutes.

V. an.i Others, under "Household Talks." lead me to sug gest the reproduction nt a paragraph from an ad dress made by Bishop Doane. in IS9S. before the graduating class of an Albany school. Ithaca, N. Y. B. O. W. Th» extract is as follows: This is an age of softness and materialism, which has let go. or holds with feeble grasp, the prin ciples, the habits, the manners, which belong to the best type of Christian manhood and womanhood. There is a recklessness and looseness of language which ought to shock the ear of purity. There ar* customs of what is called society which ought to be abhorrent to true modesty. There is a careless ness and rudeness of manner between men and women, between boys and girls. which is effacing gradually the gallantry of gentle breeding from the intercourse of the day. . . . There is a fa miliarity which breeds, not contempt, but care lessness of sin. in the books that we read. In the plays that we see. in the gossip of what Mr. Cur tis called the "fe-maelstrom of afternoon teas." and there is creeping into the talk of young people more and more the exaggeration of expletives and the degradation of slang. The easy thing to do Is to drift down with this current. It needs courage to keep out of it, to contend against it. to try to turn It back into the old channels. The coward Is afraid of being called priggish and prudish and the like. Be valiant and true about this sort of thing. A young girl has. in her innocence, a shield of prrtec tlon such as no one else has. and in her influence a power of disinfection such as no one else has. There are some things and some people she should refuse ■••> know, to touch, to speak of. and it needs courage to do this. But the little leaven of valiant vlrtuousness can quicken a whole lump of con tagious society. If if keeps Itself alive and pure There is no lack of physics! courage In the world. . . . But moral fearlessness, that fears nothing- but wrong, that can face unpopularity and the being thought peculiar, and spiritual fearless ness that stands for the Faith, for duty, for honor, for the truth are harder and higher graces and rarer in our time.

"Ctni- mil Hon. two hundred and flftv thousand! <iuart-< of milk j»re «.!d daily hi Greater New- York." he states, ■'and of this supply not ov»r MMM quarts are delivered to families In s»p arate packages <bottl»s>.

Of this best half '"P.'™ quarts). 4^.on.i quarts are consigned to th<» Sheffield Farms-Slawson-Decker Co. dally, «nd th* remaining, about ?\OOO quart?, are produced by gen tiemen farmers and sold at 12 ess to 15 cent* * rtuart. We not only pay the farmer a f>ir rr; ■ for his milk. but. In addition, pay them a premium for high testing milk. Much that appears for pop ular reading leads the farmer to bellev* that til* hulk of the ir.i'k so|.| in this -ity brings S cents a quart. The. consumer also is led to believe that. as ■ rule. th» farmer is pa.d 2 cents per quart. The fact that about i c»nt per quart goes to thf» railroads for transportation, and that the nv*ra*«a cost of delivery in separate packages is nearly or quits S cents per quart. Is rot understood by th* farmers, and writers have not estimated th» business thoroughly. if these facts are considered by thinking people, it will be an easy matter for them to come to the conclusion that cur entire profit is from thsr last half cent while milk la soldi at 5 cents per quart, ar.d. as 30C.W» quarts will fully cover all of the milk sold in this city at 3 cents. the reader may well believe that the- numbw of prosperous milk dealers in New-York may b« counted on your fingers and thumbs. The sxn<%!W hard working milkman. is up at 2 o'clock every day. no holidays, no Sundays, and works In all weather. "We are the. very opposite of what is generally called a trust. We are not affiliated with any other cor.cern. We have thirty stockholders, all young men tut myself, and every one in act:r«t service with the company, earning moderate sal aries. We do not attempt to restrict production) or to force down the producer's price; on the con trary, we pay the world's highest prices for milk, and the farmers who sell to us .-ire prosperous and contented. We use r.o forbidden methods to out strip our competitors in the city. we simply do our best to excel them In quality and method*, and give a better article for the same price. We have lio advantage not o; ••:. to competition from others. "I consider that we have an important advantage over private fancy farmers, for they keep only pure bred. registered cows. When such cows are. produced by Inbreeding, the same affects are pro duce, i in cattle as dots intermarriage among near relatives in the human family Animals 'with weak; and delicate constitutions are much more suscep tible to diseases than other animals constantly strengthened and reinforced by fresh, gtrangn blood. I personally know of two private fancy dairies which once shipped their product to this city. One had their herd completely wiped out by tuberculosis, replenished, and the second time destroyed by that disease. The herd on the other farm was once destroyed by tuberculosis, and never replenished. Furthermore, fancy farmers. as a lie. devote but little attention to their dalrte*. practically leaving everything to hired help, who work without the eye of the master. "Our patrons or customers may be divided Into two classes: 'First— intelligent and conscientious women of well-to-do families who know good milk from bad. and are determined that none but the best and most healthful foods shall bo supplied to their families. As soon as these women became satisfied we sold the best goods, and could be railed on to continue to do so, they not only insisted on having: the goods themselves, but they told other women, of the same class, and then our succe«» was as sured: after that we had nothing to do but deserve success: theaa women did a!', the rest, except what the physicians and experts in and out of th» Health Board did. I do not think I shall anger the profession If I say there are two great classes of physicians— those who know more about milk ana its effect on the human system than does anybody else, and those who know very little about it. The first class may possibly contain 10 per cent of them all. but more likely less than 5 per cent. The sec ond class includes all the rest. Now. we are sup plyini more than 730 physicians with milk dally. and they are mostly of the first class. About every physician, chemist, bacteriologist and expert in the Health Board has long been a customer of ours, and these hundreds of educated, influential men and women are daily praising and recommend ing our goods. With such goods and such assis tance how could we fall of success?"
