"' vt Wo bnvc, therefore, threo fundamental traits,
J ' the color of the skin, tho texturo of tho hair,

J', . a a criterion of race by various writers,
tj ' Tho races have been divided along the color

?' f as to whether they aroso first In tho oxtreme
',, 'f, cast or tho extreme west, but the balance of
; J. ' argument favors western Europe. They also
Oxtcnded over into North Africa, from the car-
'., g- llcst historic times, and occupied tho glades and
5E dales of the Atlas Mountains. They still occupy

.'KV Ohio of that area until within very recent times.
fThe red race occupied North and South
America from the Arctic to the Straits of Magel
Ian. Its various peoples are nil one in so many
j f. characteristics that we cannot dhido them

'In the liirsuto appendage the broad dlstinc

T Intermediate between tho two stands the race

If the woolly Imir he subdivided into frizzy (like

'V 'Jbeshapoof tbo skull has been and is made
i:,, a basis for tho clHsiltlcatiim of races by a gi eat
J? manywrltors. The medium skull of 100 units
Vi long and BO units nldo has been generally
K adopted among nil craniologiits, who adopt tbo
R. variation In the form of the skull from this
ft mean ns n criterion of race. When It Is 80 to
J 00 wide it Is n binad skull, when 78 or 70 wide
fe It is called long skulled, becauto then the long
r diameter is greator in proportion to tho short
r one. It 1 propobol todiido the whole ruman
Yi apecles into ran s depending upon the prjpur
'C tlon which thcue two diameters bo.ir in tbo
j skull; und It works pretty well. Ono buudre.l
( skulls from almost any of tho black tr.bes of
central Africa will appuar long In rather un ex-
travagant dogrea. A hundred skulls from pure
Obineie will appear round; and that Is n general
". test of race wh i measuring hundreds of skulls
I otatlmo.
j Dr. Harrison Allen, in examining tho skulls
:' i from tlio Sindwich Islands, found thoprcsontcd
j two quite dltTnrcut characteristics. Tho higher
', type of skull (that approaching tho Kuropean
,, Standard) was found to belong to the nobles and
ft the loner typo to those who were burled In
J sea sands and woro of tbo common people.
- This Indicated that the change in lpo of
'; ' the skull was not ono of rate but of cultural
if condition. A French cranlologjst found in
V Studying tho skulls of the geiiilemen and the
J, peasantry of I'ninco that the gentlemen hail
suite dltferent skulls, theirs being somewhat
:, long, whllo tho lower skulls nero rounder. The

William on Humboldt, brother of tbo great
I naturalist, dl Ided man on tbo ground of his
j languages into four great raci. First, those
having Inflecting languages, where tho relation
.-; of time and person are expressed In the manner
l of the Aryan races, this group of languages be-
I Izuyfotuutoniy among whlu people. Thsraaro

not Inflectedbut they are small and unimpor
tant. The Iluque, for Instance, In Spain Is not
an Innoctlng langnare. but all the Aryan
langiugts. Initio, Greek, Sanscrit. Oerrnan.
Kngllsh, the Hebrew, also tbo ancient Coptio of
tho Egyptians, who were whlto people, and the
great jleroer tongue sof north Africa, are Inflect
ing. In other word, about nine-tenths of the
while people of the globe havo always spoken,
o far nn, wo know. Inflecting languages and no
bo ly else. Not another amglo Inflecting Ian
pin, go has been fnttnd on thefacoof tho globe.
No bod v has ever rievlsol an inflecting language
except tho white man, which Is a striking fact,
because, as we descend In the scilonwny from
the Inflating (the highest) type, we do not And
qultoaoposllhollnrsilrann. ....
Next to tho Inflecting come the Isolating
language, snch ns the Chinese The relation of
nny two wonts (subject and ohj-ct, for Inst Mice)
Is shown by position, as It is very much In our
own tongue; because tho English is tne nonrest
to an Isolating language or all tho Aryan group;
but It does not approach tho Chinese.
Tho ncglutlnnthe languages (the third di
vision) Indlesto tho relation of the main word of
tho suntonco by lacking on a number of avllables
to the root, making ono great word ropresontlng
n wholo sentence. Such nro tho Drivldlnn
languages of India, spoken by a mixed raco,
more or less black, of unknown afllnlttei, nnd by
the great Turanian pooplcs of tbo north, so
railed, the Siberian, tho Samorods, Tartars,
Turks, Finns and Hungarians, the last three of
whom cnmefiom Asia. .....
Humboldt laid down thst tho whole of the red
race spoko l.injunges whlili ho called Incor

such a vnst vimnhulnry, could havo oiercoino
tho love of hie choice, , ,
'Ihulnlest anil iho most modern anthropolo
gists rather avoid either an Intellectual or a
physical criterion of race. As tho zoologist
nlvidcs tho face of tho globe Into certain fnunal
areas, so tho modern anthropologist has con
cluded tbnt he would better bo cautious about
physical and mental criteria, and tnko geo
grnDhlcnl areas, preferring to speak of tho
American raco rather than of the red raco. or
thoatralght-hstrod race, or the incorporatlve
apeaklng race, because all thosooffcr exceptions;
but If he says American raco it means but one
thing the pcoDlo that lived originally In
America. ,
Taking the Asian race and omitting western
Asln (where the nnthrnDOloglst llnds by historic
records tbnt both the Semitic in tho south, nnd
tbo Arynn, in tho north. pouroJ Into Asia from
fl.OOO to 5,000 years beloro history begins), con
fining hlmscirtn the great mass of tbo popula
tion of Asia, he finds there tho Asian race repre
sented nyths Siberian tribos nnd tho Mongo
lians, the Chinese Tartars, and others, bo ho
speaks of the European raco, not ns European,
but as Eur-African, combining tho names of tho
two continents together us thry wero themsolves
bound together at tho beginning of history.
Finally, the African race propor Is that which
Is south of the Desert of Sahara and corresponds
to the black race mentioned.
Thus It is that by combining the various char
acteristics or criteria of races in tho manner
described ana locating tbem geographically with
those exceptions known to history, and others
which can bo shown to be probable, nnd others
again which wo cannot explain, we nrri o at tho
modern, wisest classification of the human race.
It is a real classification; It is nut based upon
tho mere fact that tbey thoro lived and huvo
lived, hut upon tbo noll-known principles in
natural history that it Is tbo soil, tho climate,
the atmospheric, the comio conditions, which
lnfluonceorganlcgrowthovery where; and theso
conditions aro exerted In special form when
we touch special areas. Just as in thelowor
forms of life, wo distinguish between tbo great
groups, the Arctic and tho sub-Arctic so in
man and for tho same reason and with tho samo
right we distinguish between the Asian and tho
American man. Wo do not go back to discuss
when or how thoso distinctions arose, but It Is
sufllclent for us as the fact, proved by constant
observation, that tbey did arise, and that tbey
ore permanent ; thit they have been as thev nuw
arc from tbo time history begins to the present
day; that tbey aro Indestructible and indelible.
Wo are sure, therefore that wo are upon tho
ground of natural history, and it is upon that
ground that every anthropologist desires to
found the new sclenco to which he looks forward.

WABntnriTOX. May 23. Tattooing has been
practiced by seafaring men since tho Phoeni
cians ranged tho seas and Is as popular now In
tho navy ns ever. About thirty yoar ago tho
mcii of tho American Navy overdid tho tattoo
ing business nnd nn attempt was made to put a
stop to It by a regulation prohibiting all tattoo
ing. This regulation lonp; ago becamo a dead
letter. Moreover, n considerable proportion of
tho officers are addlrted Io tattooing work. A
good many naval cadets have bits of tattooing
placed upon their skins by ship's tnttooers be
fore they achieve tho ensign's rank, but It is tho
custom nowadays for tho younger men of tho
qunrtcrdock to wait until they get their first
whirl on tho China station beforo they havo tho
tn'.tooer's nerdlo placed to their bodlos for tho
Japanese tnttooers aro tbe host In the bublncss.
Ship's tattoocrs aro nil old timers. Thoy aro
callbd free hand tattooora, to dlstlngulih tbem
from tlio Japaneso tnttooers, who first traco
their dovlces with pigments. Theso Japaneso
tattoocrs, with whom ho art has brcn handed
down from tiro to son for many generations, aro
artists. They charge heavily for tholr work,
but Its quality so far excols thnt of tbo flat foot
tnttooers of tho present day that the sailors do
not begrudgo tho monoy, ThoJapanoso tnt
tooers havo the mastery of four colors, where
as tho s.Vlor tattoocrs havo novor hcen able to
use moro than two colors, blue ai,d rod, Tho
Japs possess tho oecrct'of the manufacture of tho
brown and green tattooing Inks, and thoy havo
nevor clven It nwny. Sailor tnttooers havo
fixed up Inks of theso two colors and operated
with them, but tbe colors did not stick. At tho
present tlmo, tho sailor tattooers cmrlovonly
tho blue and red Inks In tbelr Jobs. With tho
four colors, blue. red. green, and brown, tho
Japanoso tattooers dovlsa gome beautiful com
binations, oven from tho artistic standpoint.
An officer vrho bears tho rank of a Lieutenant
Commander carries what is regarded as the
finest bit of tattooing In tho American Navy, If
not In the world. It was dono by a famous
Japanese tattooer. now dead, at Nagnenkt. when
tbo Lieutenant-Commander was an ensign,
twenty odd years ago. It represents a battlo
betwocn tho mythical Japanese dragon nnd a
hugo eagle, and It covers tho officer's en tiro
chest and a considerable portion of bis back,
Tbo minuteness of dotall Is wonderful. It
bears Inspectlon'under a powerful microscopo
without any of its beauty of dotall being marrod,
and tbe blending of tho four colors In the scales
of the dragon and tbo feathers of tho caglo Is n
stngalnrly artlstlo bit of handicraft. It cost
the officer six days of ngony. lying, practically
In two positions all tho time, to get this Job
pricked Into his body.
It should bo slid in passing that the hluo
Jacket who has boon tn tho service for a long
tlmo without having plaood himself in the hands
of tlio tattooer Is looked upon by bis tattooed
shipmntos as lacking the nervo neccsrarv to
carry him through tho ordeal. Ths assertions of
landsmon.wrltcrs to the'eontrary notwlthstandf
lng, it does hurt, does tho tattoocr's neodlo
bunch. It hurts a lot, too so inuchtha thero
nro few bluejackets who can enduro having
large pieces tattooed upon tbelr bodies with
out tnklng Intervals ltn which to pull them
rehes together. Even to hnyo a piece of tho
diameter of half n span tattooed Into tho hldo
causes enough pain to mako niott sallcrc ask
that the Job bo lengthened out to two or threo
sittings. There Is no particular pain In sub
mitting to tbo new-fangled fashion of tattooing
by means of tbo electric needle, but tho work
doesn't enduro ono-thlrd as long as that ac
complished in the old-fnihloned way.
During the post decado tbe Japaneso artists
hay e been tattooing tbe portrait of bluojackots'
sneethenrts upon their arms and chests. Thcv
do this work from photographs, and tho or
tralt stand out as clfiarly ai paintings. Some
of the moro Ixithaiio like of tho tnrs pack
about with them secral of these sucolhcurts'
portraits. They have them punctured Into
their cutirlo in nccordanceTwlth tbo varying
state of their nffections. There is a chief yeo
min now attached to ono of tho ships with
Dewey at Manila who has ho fewer than nlrto
sweethearts' portraits tattooed on his two
arms, and pretty nearly all his available arm
space for this puroose Is used up.
Did Jup tatlooerx will prick a sailor's hldo
with any sort of doviro asked for. but tlioj pre
fer essentially Japanese subjects, cuch ns tho
representation of impossible birds nnd bensts,
trailing flowers, Japanese ships of the middlo
ages, and that sort o thing, Afayoritedovice
of the Japanese tattooers during recent i cars is
n picture of the great FujJ-Ynmn in n stato of
eruption. It requlroR all of a man's ebon space
for this bit, but the Jap tattooora render It with
cleier and somewhat terrifying fidelity. An
other deyico is the (representation of ono of tho
deputies of n Lord High Executioner amiably
gazing Into tbe fixed eves of a Criminal's bead
tnnt ho hns Just cut olr.
The ship's tattooers of tho United States navy
generally Htlck to n certain line of subjects that
have been In uso'for a great many year. 'Many
of tho older sailors havo tho crucifixion of
Christ tattooed upon tholr Binisnr their cheots.
Tills pleco is out of date. The younger breed
of naval sat'ors look upon it as bordering upon
sacrilege. An old sailor now on the rcceh lng
ship Independence nt the Mare Islnnd Nnyy
Yard has a copy of Albert Durer's "Crucifixion"
tattooed upon his broad chest, with marvellous
exactness as to detntl. He hod tbo piece dono
in Antwerp fort) odd years acu.
Full-rigged ships on the chests of American
bluejackets aro common. The old-timers bayo
representations of famous frigates engaged In
battlo. A ratbor (startling ploce much em
ployed Is a representation or a dagger on the
bluejacket's forearm. Midway on the blndo
thero Is a break, so devised that the blade ap
pears to pass t broil t-h tho flesh of the nrm, and
thn effect is mado tbo mors realistic by
splotches of red Ink at the point whero tho dag
ger appears to pleico the llesh. A similar tif
fed Is employed to render realistic the hearts
pierced by the arrows of loyo which many of
the sailors htue tattooed upon thetr anna.
Dancing girls In tights aro often seen on tbe
blueJicketB- arms. A signal quartermaster
on one of the shies of the North Atlantic squad
ron has tattooed upon his chest tbo Job was
dono by a Ilussian mano'-war'a man famous
in nil naval services for his skill a ronrcsentn
tlon of Venus in her great act of rising from
tho sea. A pleco only occasionally seen now
adays is a tattooed gruvo. at tbo foot of which
knuels a bluejacket with bowed bead, Tho
sal'ors of tho old nayy used tn have this piece
dono on their arms In memory of their mothers.
The legend, "My Mother," la printed upon tho
heodiitone.
A chief ho'sun's mato well known in the 8cr
ylco hud a huge Undo Kam dono on bis back
by a Japanese artist. The pleco extends from
tho sailor's neck to below his waist lino and
represents Uncle Sam in tho act otrouringout
coins from a copious bag and a couple of blue
Jackets making play to receive tho coins. An
other man hus'a lingo picture of tbe Ilurtho'dl
statue in New York harbor spread over hla back.
A number of tlio United States sail rs who
wero nyed In tne Samoan disaster had a stir
ring reprci-ntatlon of n chulii of nntlve Ha
moans, clutching one another by tbe arms, and
tho long lino of Kanakas extending Into the
surf, tattooed on their chests by Jap aitlsts, in
commemoration of tbe bravery exhibited by
tbnxe copprr-sklnnod sen in resc ulng tho blue
jackets while the great hurricane was raging in
tho harbor of Apia. Olbor commemorative
bltso' tattoo work connected with tho Samoan
disaster show beam ended men-of-war almost
upon tho surf line.
A few of the old-timers havo on their chests
portrajnls of the great bronzo statue. In sitting
posture, of liuddha, thnt tourists In Japan
travel n long dlstanco to seo. An English sea
nun in the United States Navy has tattooed on
his hack a representation ol a fox hunt, with
tho dogs running In full call from tho middlo
of his back to tho cnlyes of his legs. Another
llritiah seamnn In our navy has a representa
tion of tho death of Nelson at Trafalgar tat
tooed on his chest.
One of tho most peculiar bits of tattooing ever
carried around by un American naval sailor tvas
tbo blnck eye of an old flatfoot of the frigate
days who died a few years ugo on one of tho re
ceh ln.r ships. This tar w as an upnrontico buy in
tho old nayy. nndonn ot his earliest shipmates
was Midshipman Farragut. 'the apprentice
gao Furrugut somo back talk during acrttlBc,
and Furragut promptly knocked him down,
giving him a blnck eye. lion Farragut bo
came irreat and famous as an Admiral, the old
flatfoot, on a aprceashoro one day, had ono of
his mates devluo Willi a tattooing necdlo a per
fect representation of how ills left eye looked
when Farragut blnckod it.
Commonest of all bits of tattoo work on
American sailors' arms Is a representation of
tho American flag. The United States bluejack
ets who were born In foreign lands generally
hnvo tbo United States flag tattooed side by
rldo yvlU tho flag of their own country on their
arms, 'Ihern aro few Irishmen in tho United
Statos nayy who hno not the Stars und Stripes
floating slue by side with the emblem of Krln
tattooed somewhere about their bodies. Per
hips the mosr dlfegueted bluejackets in the
Unllod States Navy to-day aro tho sailors in
Uncle Huty's naral service who brought those
three Spanbh caravels across the Athtntlo to
Iho United Suites during the World s Fnlr. In
tbe enthusiasm of tho moment for which the
sailors wero turely not to blame, stein jr bow
tho wholo country was engaged In making
much of Spain and Spaniards at that time
every man Jack of them bad tho Spanish (las
tattooed upon his arm, the Yolds of Spain's na
tional emblem mingling with the floating Stars
and Stripes. Dozens of United State blue
JackeU had themselves tattooed la this wise,
issis)wjKasvi4a!ijMfea j3Mh,jgasiiisM&aEyLasatitei
and most of them bar since this country began
to tend toward war with 8pln, and especially
since tho Maine disaster, been standing an
hour or so a day in picking out the marks of
this bit ot tattooing. The sailors get rid of tat
tooing that they talc a dislike for by Industri
ously ricking at ths pieces with toothpicks that
havo len dipped In milk. It Is a slow proceas,
and it requires weeks of patient work before
even a Small piece of tattooing can to re
rnnved In this way. Iletldes, tattooing- re
moved in this as well as In any other known
way, Invariably leaves a bad scar. . A few yoars
ago a paymaster's yeoman In tho United states
Navy undertook by means of tbo milk-dipped
toothpicks la pick out a number of compasses,
stars, and small bracelets that decorated his
bands. This paymaster's yeoman had saved a
lot of monoy In tho service, nnd at tho conclu
sion of bis enlistment ho intended quitting the
navy and going into business in IJrooklyn. Ho
didn't want his tattooed hands and wrists to ad
vertise the fact after ho left the navy that he had
made hla money "sallorlzlng." aad so bo worked
hard to erase tho tattoo marks. In soma way or
another hts attempt caused blood poisoning in
both oChls arms, and his two hands had to bo
amputated

Baslnes or the Convention la True TIusl.
arealike aTasbloa A Complete Sueceas.
For the first time In tbts year's meeting the
National Conference of Charities and Correc
tions eat last night under n woman ns Chair
man ot n general session, and the way she held
the meeting to tho letter of the regulations was
an example for future presiding ofliccrs to fol
low. She is Mr. K. E. Williamson, Secretary ot
the State Charities Aid Association of Now Jer
sey, and in introducing her to tho audience In
Association Hall last night. President William
It. Stewart prophesied tbnt they would find
her the most efficient Chairman of the present
conference They did. Mrs. Williamson laid
down certain rules, and theso she enforced In a
manner to make thoeyosof the unaccustomed
bulge
In the first place tbe subject of the meeting
was announcod as "Tho Duty of the State to
Dependent Children." Then President Stewart
introduced Mrs. Williamson, who revealed her
self as a striking and determined-looking wo
man, wearing a black waist with an infinity ot
gllstoniog things on the front of It, a checked
black and whlto skirt, and a large yellow hat.
"On tho programmo," said she, "my subject
appears as 'Tho Street Arab.' Now, I'm not
going to rend you a paper describing this pecu
liar product of our civilization. I'm Just going
to tell you soma aneodotei about him as I have
found him."
She went on to say that In an extended and
various experience of more than six months ot
study of tho street Arab she had found him not
only manly, honest and honorablo, but also
chivalrous, and that sho believed thnt he was ot
that stuff of which tho best nnd noblest citizens
are made. Her anecdotes certainly tended to
encircle with a halo a head which is more com
monly a mark for tbo policeman's club,
"Now," she said at the conclusion of her
stories, which were warmly recclvod, "Mr.
Ernest Illcknell, tho general superintendent ot
tho Bureau of Associated Charities ot Chi
cago, will speak to us on 'Tho Interfer
ence ot a Municipality In Bohalf of Its
Wards.' Ho will present tho matter at
some length, nnd Mr. Thomas M. Mulry of the
Society of St. Vincent do Paul will open tho dis
cussion. Thereafter thero will be fifteen minutes
for general discussion. Each spoakor will have
two minutes; no more. No speaker will bo
heard twice. Mr. Homer Folks of tho Stato
Charities Aid Association will closo tho dis
cussion. Mr. Ulcknell will now address us."
Mr. Dlcknellsald:
"Merciful statutory law must, from time to
tlmo. bo called upon to protect mon against
merciless nature law, owing to changing and
contrasting conditions in great centres of
population. Ily a gradual (process the Govern
ment has sSBumed such powers and re
sponsibilities In regard to its children,
thit it in only oy tho deepest wisdom
that it will be able to fulfill thoso respon
sibilities. At each new law providing for inter
ference in behalf of the child there has risen a
bitter opposition, but the highest authorities have
confirmed statutoattcr statute, and in their prac
tical workings tho now laws are found to bo nu
advance in humanity. Dut many difficult ques
tions came up for consideration. How far shall
the municipality educato tbe child I How far
shall It supply good air nnd water and living
accommodations, so nocessary for the growth of
the child 1 This is a matter that Involves our
building and sanitary laws. Is It proper to
restrict tho hours during which children msy go
unattended upon tbo streets 1 bhall tbe munici
pality intcrfero only when tbo child is In danger
of bodily harm t And in general what Bhall define
thearoaot interference and nou-interfcrencc I
Thus far, I believe, we havo not gono too far in
intorference. Except in a few cases, wo have
not gone far enough. At present thero is eo
strong a public ficllng in favor of moro Interfer
ence that tho advocates of that polloy will find
plenty of sympathy. We must be the more
careful that we be not carried too far In that
direction, lest a few mistakes undo us on the
ove of victory."
Tbe Chairman then introduced Mr. Mulry
who said:
"On the ono side there is danger of too much
Interference and of drifting Into a sort of pi-trrtinllsm-.on
tho other tbo possibility of the
rJlalo not tnklnr sufllclent Interest In Its wards
to guard and protect them properly. Peo
ple nae fairly gono crazy over this auestlon
of sociology, anil many havo eolvcd theories
which If curried into practice would put us
back a quarter of a century In our at
tempts to solve the problem of how best to
caro for our dependent children. Take, for in
stance, the man with whar might bo called ln-stltution-phobla.
He would closn oiery insti
tution to morrow. If it were possible, nnd have
the State or municipal!! institute a boarding
out system placing every child in a house, not
Gecrssarlly an Ideal one, but still, no matter
ow far from tho Ideal in his mind, far, far
ahead of an institution.
" I beliovo that, when conditions allow and
under proper direction, children with no rela
tives should bo adopted in families ns
soon as possible. I also boliete that It is
the duty of tbo. Stato tosoo that such children
bo placed In homes of thoir on religious faith,
but I do not believe It will be possible in a largo
city llko New York to adopt tho bonrdlng-out
sstem wltbout gruve danger of nbusc, and I
am suro it will bo imposslblo to show ns
good results as in a wcll-iuanaged Institu
tion, Dcsolte every precaution peoplo would
take children for tbo money tbey could
obtain thereby, and no supervision could
forco them to give proper caro to tho
wards of the State. Tho best results
are found in the institution where a strong re
ligious feeling Is tho ground v. ork. In fact, all
the work practically that has been done has
been by tho religious Institutions, K ery child,
In whatever Institution, should have the ad
vice and guidance of n clergyman of his or hor
own creed. (Applause. Wo haven't reached
that point yet In all our institutions In Non
Ycrk.7' When Mr. Mulry had closed with a tribute to
President btewart, Mrs, Williamson snld:
"The subject is now open to general discus
sion. Permit me to remind you that two min
utes Is the limit."
"As we have beard reference to keeping tho
children oft the streets from Mr. lilckwoll,"
Bald a man in tbo third row, "I would suggest
that tbe Curfew law for children bo discussed
here."
"That Is not the subject for tho evening,
said tbo Chairman dryl), "It would bo very
lntorestlng, but It Is too small a part of tho gen
eral subject to gle our tlmo to,'
Up rote Mr. A. Hongland, Air. A. Hoaglaud
Is tho gentleman who at n recent session told
howtboladtrs nf ltacino Wis., had greeted with
wa lng handkerchiefs his solution from tbo lec
turer's platform of tho prison labor problem,
viz., put tbo prisoners In stone broakinglcamps
nnd havo them build roads. Being recognlzod,
Mr. A. Hougland suld:
"I'm not hero looking for notoriety, but I
want to say that I was Instrumental In bringing
about a curfew law which has proved tho most
successful over knov, n.
"Remember the subject, Mr. Hongland,"
warned tho Chair, "You have only two min
utes, you know, and ou'e taken one minute
without touching upon it."
" In thnt case," snld thn speaker, much crest
fallen. "I'll alt down." Which ho did, and the
floor was tnken by Mr. Frank B. Sanborn of
Massachusetts, who Bald;
"The last spoaker reminds me ot a poem I
once heard, 'Curfew Shall Not Ulng To-Nlght.'
Laughter.) In Massachusetts we have had
some experience In paying board for the very
young children boarded out, Some persona pro
tested, alleging tbnt it was a bad prucodent;
that having paid board In somo cases we would
bo obliged to In all. I merely wish to say that In
fifteen years' experience wo havo found it qulto
otherwise,"
In his two mlnutos Mr. flollon Hall. Secretary
of tbo Longshoremen's Union, tilted at tho
?uestion on the back of his hobby ot vacant-lot
arming. "If wo enro for dependent children,"
he said, "there is no reason why we shouldn't
caro for dependent )ouug woiiion. Some States
do glvo mnrrlago portions to dependent young
w omen. Tbo dinlculty Is to determine at what age
and condition the aid shall begin. In tbe de
gree to which the State deprives tbo parents of
livelihood the children nro thrown upon tbo
State. Tbo cultivation of vacant lots by tbo
poor has helped mnnv men who wero out of
work and kept many children from our institu
tions. I believe that the whole poverty prob
lem will ! solved by getting tbe people hack to
the bind."
At this point Mr. Hall Incautiously glanced at
Mrs. Williamson, who nodded pointedly Mr.
Hall sat down. Mr. Wilson of Washington rono
and said thst.while I twos undoubtedly desirable
that every child tinder tho Mate's care should
havo tho religious Instruction it wished, it
wasiroprtctlt'uhloln n large institution where
fifteen or tnonlj creeds are represented.
"Tho dlltlculty Is to get tbo i lergymen to visit
tbo institutions," remarked Mrs. Williamson,
who hud been on her feet all the time since tbe
general discussion opened. She then recognized
Mr. William P. Letohworth. who spoke
on tbe sbamefulness ot permitting children
to ba sent to almshouses and poorhousee,
as Is done In somo States. Mr. Sevier followed
with aisle for earlier education. M. 8. Iloae
uaa attacked the system of KaOning in InsUtu-
tlons which, he Bald. left a child wantlnB n""
help. Then arose Mr. Charles W. Ulrtwell, far
back toward the rear. . . ...
"Mr. Blrtwell.' said tho Chair In recognition.
"Two minutes, Mr. Ilertwell." .... ,,
With a leap Mr. Bartwell gained the aisle,
galloped swiftly down It, keeping his eyes fixed
on Mrs. Williamson, that she might not cut hint
off bofore his time, hooped up the steps, strode
to the middle of the platform, and pointing an
accusing forefinger at the centre of the telling,
declaimed: ,,
"Cod baa set the solitary In families. JA
pause.) Not He must have been mistaken. Ha
should have sot them in an Institution.
That was oil, Mr. Bertwell descended. Tbe
audlon'-e seemed a trifle dnsod, but a man In the
front row was heard to remark that the
quotation had beon lamely translated ,fr:n
tho original Blblo version. Mrs. William
son recoverod from her amazement In tlmo
Io Intercopt a would-be speaker with tho an
nouncement that the time forgeneral discussion
was over. Mr.. Homer Folks, wno was on tho
programme, got five minutes, nnd said, for bis
uart, that ho'd rather have his children In a
nlco healthy private country home, about
twenty miles from the elty. than In any Institu
tion, but neglected to montlon tho number of
chickens that tho homo ahould keep, or whether
ho preferred Aldcrney or Holsteln cows milk.
Tho second part of the programmo consisted
of a vory Interesting paper Iby Dr. Newton M.
Hhnffer of tho Now York University on " The
Caro of Deformed and Crippled Children." Ho
mado a plan for Industrial schools for tbo
crippled, nnd told how nn armless boy
had been taught to tyoowrlto with his
toes, and how. In tho Eurooean hospitals,
cripples with withered arms wero taught
to sow with tholr teetb. In educllonal treat
ment of tho crippled, ho snld, Europe Is far
ahead of us. Sirs. Williamson annonnced that
Dr. Plntt of Baltimore would havo "flvo or
seven minutes " to discuss tho paper. Dr. PIfttt
advocated a Stato allowance to buy nocossnry
appliances anrt apparatus for tbo dependent
cripples In Its caro.
Chairman Garrett of tho Committee on Resc
lutlons presented a letter ot thanks to be sent to
President McKlnley In response to his lot

Special Features and Cssd florae oa the Har
ris Park Cartt for To-Day.
The card arranged for this afternoon at Mor
ris Park Is well supported by horsemon, and un
less tho condition of tho track after yesterday's
rain compels withdrawals the racing should be
u p to a good standard. Tho special features aro
tbo two fixed ovents. tho Pocantlco Handicap
and tho Amateur Cup. Tbo handicap is for three-year-olas,
over tho severest route attemptod by
this division so far, and tbo struggle will be
watched with unusual interest should tbe qrood
lot ellgiblo go to the post. The Huguenot Is
marked doubtful and will probably bo with
drawn, as ho is asked to concede from six to
twenty-ono pounds and as tho Thompson broth
ers are also represented by Reprisal. Tho meet
ing of Sly Fox, Georgo Keone, Mont d'Or, and
Mirthful at practically oven weights would
alone furnish a raco well worth seeing.
Tho conditions for tbo Amateur Cup race call
for gentlemen riders, and tho clever amatoursof
tho fashionable hunting sets will probably avail
themsohes of this golden opportunity to win
fresh laurols under tho oyes of their clubhouso
friendB. The incenttie is a solid silver oup
valued at $300. and $700 In cash for tho winner.
1 he sum of $300 Is hung up fur second, and $200
goes to tho third. Nine good performers are
entered, and it Is thought thnt tho withdrawals
will bo few. Lehman la entered to make hli
first npponrance ot tho ear in this race, but ns
tho Flclschmanna also name Mr. Baiter, ono
mny bo scratched.
'1 tie overnight handicap, last on tho card, may
rival the stake features in interest. It is foi
three-) ear-olds and upward, nt one rolloand a
futlong over the hill, nnd brings togctbersuch
prominent Ilrookljn and Suburban candidates
as Tillo. Ben Holladay, Don do Oro, Royal Stag,
and Ben Kder. Tillo, with top weight, mny not
go, ns bis winning effort last Saturday was
thought to be his trial for tbe Brooklyn. The
others, howover, should furnish a spirited raco.

Lake Shore, the aged son ot Farandolo and
O u a j aqull, broke both of bis fore legs yesterdny
morning while being worked over tho Sbeeps
head Bay track for his engagements in tbo
spring handicap, Lako 8borc, owned by F, L.
Parker and trained by Dave Sloan, has been re
ceiving ii long and steady preparation. Ills legs
ha-,0 been under suspicion for a long time.
However, he stood up under his work well until
yestordu) morning. He covered tho circuit of
tho track at a stiff pace, and Just as he was en
tering the homestretch hesuddenly stopped and
tell on his sldo.
It was found that botb fore legs wero broken
at tho ankles nnd the bones greatly decajed.
Tbo unfortunate animal must have worked
many miles while In this condition, although It
was not noticeable from the outside. He was shot
to end his misery. About a couple of years ngo
Lako Shore was In great form, winning several
hard-fought contosts ngalnst the best horses at
Morris Park, Ho was backed boa-, lly for tbe
Brooklyn Handicap then, and ran a great race
in that notable event.
LItbos, the black son of Brltannlo and Medusa,
the property of M. F. Dwyer, Droke down hope
lessly nt the Gra-. esend track yesterday. It was
with tbo greatest difficulty that ho could be got
off tbe course. His turf career Is ended. As n
two-year old LItbos was ono of tho speediest
colts In training. Then his legs bocame trouble
some, and he did not face the flag as a three-year-old.
Ibis spring ho showed his old-time
speed whllo belngworked with thoborses Dwyer
Intended to ship to the Washington mooting.
LItbos ran on two occasions nt the present meet
ing at Morris Park, but again went lame and was
sblppod to tho stable at tlra esend.
At the Morris Park track yesterday Buddha,
four years old, by Tlio IUrd Kmpress, tbo prop
orty of R. IC Hall, and trained by VVyndhain
Wnldun, broke down hopole-islr while being
worked, Ho was probably tbo best colt ever
sired by that great race horse.

Formal notice has been sent to tbe Secretary
of the New York A. C. that the Championship
Committee of tho Amateur Athletic Association
of England, at a meeting held on May 7, has M
decidnd that entries from Amerioan athletes for M
tho English championship meeting on July 3 ;
must borocelved by Juno 1. Coming after tho (
recent rebuff administered by tbo English unl- S
vcrsltles to the American Institutions, tbo mat-
ter has excited somo comment among tho
athletic authorities hero. It Is claimed that
tho action indicMtcs the Intention of the
English association to exercise a stricter
inriulry into tho eligibility and status
or any amateur who may stray across ,
tbe ocean hereafter. The Henley Regatta '
Association has for years Insisted on recelv-
lng foreign entries in time to Investigate thorn
thoroughly, but until this action on Iho part of .
tbe A. A. A. committee American athlotes at H
tbe English championships have not only been S
welcomed but sought after, and tbelr entries H
accepted only a week beforo tho big meeting. M
The decision of tbe committee practically bars AM
out Americans from this year's meeting unless mm
cable entries are accepted. The New York A. V
C, however, will not be affected, as Capt. Bob- ,
ert C. Flaber Is authority for tbe statement that Jmt
tho club nthlotes will not cross the Atlantic in flmm
quest of honors this yonr. but will reserve their JMMu
material for tho world's championships at Pari! !efl
in 1000. ImW
