CONTRIBUTIONS.
A large contribution of clothing came from Mrs.
6- F. Park; a box of tree ornaments from Lexing
ton avenue; shirtwaists from Mrs. Pulsifer. of
Manchester. N. H. ; monograms from Brooklyn;
fancy kimonos "from a friend"; magazine* from
Mr. C. ; a pretty Battenberg centrepiece from Mr*.

efit of some form of Sunshine cheer; frames for
mat making from Mrs. George 8. Hickok; articles
of underwear, books, etc., brought by the Knick
erbocker Express; shoes from Mr*. Fj a fine coat
hat and current reading from Mrs. T., of Central
Park West; a package of clothing from Bloom
field. N. J.; an express box from Mrs. Reinhart

hats from Miss A. M. Tuttle. of Tenafly. N J -
knitted articles for a little one, without a name.' '
are purchased from wholesale dealers at the
regular rates and sold at a fair profit.
In the outside positions clerical work Is the
commonest resource. Some of the girls go to
college in the mornings and^ in the afternoons
proceed to some downtown office where they
work until dinner time. A few do light sewing
for outside families, and others spend some of
their afternoons reading to invalids for a small
compensation. One girl by doing this outside
work was enabled to support herself entirely
while she was taking her senior year at Bar
nard. She had been receiving assistance all
through the course until a misfortune threw
her entirely on her own resources. She held a
scholarship, so that there was no tuition to pay,
and she began the year by registering at the ex
change for tutoring or clerical work. She soon
obtained a temporary contract for the latter,
and at the same time she registered at one of
the teachers* agencies, receiving a little later a
position as teacher of a small private dancing
class of young women. She also made several
kinds of candy and sold it at the exchange
These lines of work lasted until the midyear
examinations, when she obtained an excellent
position as part time assistant In the correspond
ence of a large philanthropic organisation. This
girl has an excellent academic record to her
credit.
In the summer time the number of activities In
which the girls engage is much larger and
wider in Its scope. One of the most profit
able, though hardest to get. is that of companion
or tutor in a private family. In this case the
work Is usually not difficult, consisting in look-
Ing after the welfare of two or three small chil
dren or of acting as companion to an invalid.
In addition to paying well, such a position has
the advantage usually of affording the student
•pleaaant surroundings.
Some students take the city school examina
tions and obtain work as teachers In the public
summer schools or assistants lv the children's
playgrounds. Some obtain positions with city
mission societies and work in the slums as
religious teachers and directors. A few have
obtained library work and private secretary
ships.
There Is one possible source of Income which
does not seem to appeal to the girls. Many
women on Mornlngside Heights have babies for
whom they would be only too glad to find nurse
maids for a part of the day. Several applica
tions have been sent to the students' exchange
fo- maids, but almost none have been successful.
NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. MAY S. \<m.
GUILTY JX SMOKE CASE
Engineer of Edison Company Con
victed — Other Case* Adjourned.
Of twenty case* of alleged smoke nuisance, tb*
reeult* to date of Health Commissioner Darling
ton's crusade, which war* set for trial in th* Court
of Special Sessions, yesterday, before Justice*
Zeller, Wyatt and McAvoy. on* was tried and a
conviction obtained, the defendant being James D-
Andrew*, chief engineer for the New Tort Bdtson
Company. Hi* sentence was deferred unto May
81. The maximum penalty 1* SMO fine or a year
m prison. Th* other cases, by request of ouf—a
•ntsr counsel, were adjourned. |
The case of th* Ansonia Hotel, la watak th*
owner. W. B. Dt *ttak*a> Is defendant, wa* th*
first on th* calendar. Mr. Stoke* waa not *tn*snt.
•nd was represented by Abo Gruber. Assistant
Corporation Counsel Walker, who prosecuted th*
ease*, waa anxious to hare the Ansonta case tried
at one*, but Mr. Qrubnr asked an adjournment.
Mr. Walker said that Dr. Darlington had told him
that th* Anaemia wa* the most notorious and de
liberate offender a* to smoke nuisance in tb* city.
The court set th* trial peremptorily for May 16.
After th* lawyer* in other eases had obtained
adjournments the Edison case was brought to trial.
Patrolman G*orge Smith, of th* Health Squad,
the complainant, told of watching the Edison
power house, at 38th street and First avenue, on
April 10, and ••sing dense volumes of black smoke
issuing from th* big stack*. About forty wit
nesses, property owner* and resident* in th* neigh
borhood, corroborated Smith. Five owner* of th*
tenement houses in the section testified that they
had lost tenant* because of the amok* from the
JuOison plant.
The chief evidence for the defence was given by
a photographer, who displayed several hundred
photograph*, taken from March 21 to 10. from 1:80
to 5 p m.. every ten minutes, which showed no
smoke issuing from the power house stacks. Cross
examined by Mr. Walker. Chief Engineer Andrews
admitted that the hours, in which tne photographs
were taken were those in which the load upon the
dynamos was least. The heavy load began, he
said, about 6 p. m.
'"Why didn't you bring us some photographs or
the chimneys after B o'clock?" asked Mr. Walker
Mr. Andrews didn't answer this satisfactorily.
The justice* found the chief engineer guilty of
the charge.
Dr. Darlington said later that he considered the
conviction an Important victory for his crusade
■gainst smoke nuisance*.
GLEAN-
Hot soda baths are recommended by some per
sons for rheumatism, and the way they are taken
is this: Fill the tub half full of water as hot as can
be borne, add half a pound of common baking soda,
and Immerse the body for at least twenty minutes,
keeping up the temperature by the addition of hot
water from time to time. Vaseline or cold cream
should be rubbed Into the skin after the latter ha a
been dried, in order to replace the natural oil.
"If women would only learn that smartness Is
Impossible with a veil through which the nose has
succeeded in boring a bole!" remarked a laughing
young girl the other day. "The nose seems to have
a passion for coming out the other side of a veil,
I suppose, because it is the most prominent feature.
Sometimes you see a deep gash on the cheek. Not
Infrequently the lower lip comes through. And
veils are so cheap:"
"You cannot be too thorough in thl* matter. Some
of us have 'wooden legs." Thus have the artists
who copy pictures in the Louvre appealed to the
Minister of Fine Arts apropos of the regulation of
the museum authorities compelling people who copy
pictures in the galleries of the national treasure
house to fireproof their easels and painting mate
rials. The copyists, not being disgracefully
wealthy, as a body, resent this addition to their ex
penses, and have petitioned to be excused. Hence
the allusion to their wooden legs.

ter of some 40.000 bags. Trading here was very quiet all

COTTON — The cotton market was moderately active
during to-day's session, but. after sn early advance,
yielded to realizing, and In the later trading was Irregu
lar. The close was 7 points lower to 2 points higher.
Bales were estimated at 225,000 bales. The market
opened steady at an advance of 2®4 points, In response
to cables, and advanced to a nee gain of 4@B points
shortly afterward on. covering of aborts and a little
fresh buying which was attracted by firm spot advices
and lets favorable weather in the Western belt. Tfce
advance, which carried the market some 32 to 36 points
above the low level of the last month, was led by July
and October, while May was relatively easy, although It
was reported that additional 'notices for about 1.200
bales were promptly stopped. There was quite a good
deal of cotton for sals on the Initial bulge, and there was
little sign of bull support: on the contrary, It was thought
that some of the big bull leaders were reducing their
lines on the advance, and prices soon eased off. under
realizing, the absence of general demand and a little.
though somewhat cautious, selling by local bears. The
close was within a point or two of the lowest, with the
new crop relatively steady. Weather reports indicated
nor* or less general rains In the Western bait far over
Sunday, accompanied by temperatures considerably below
the normal. It has recently been quite wet In the West
ern belt, and complaints are beginning to come of lack
of opportunity for necessary farm work and the growth
of grass and weeds. There were further showers In the
Eastern belt also, but the Western belt forecast was for
dryer and wanner weather to-day, and following lower
temperatures and further showers to-night. The Eastern
belt Is also expected to clear and be warmer. Southern
spot markets were unchanged.
