Oni e a week ft is his Lenten habit to toil over to the dreary building on the East n.er island and have dinner with the boys. One of his finest accomplishments Is carrinc , and he delights the inmates by standing at the head of a long table and Jupzlin ? the last shreds off fowls , doin ? artistic teats a-ith joints and gossiping along , in cheerful , ele vating talk , with his proteges as ho portions tions out their meat. Once a year he Is host at Randall's island and the boys his guests , for he lays them such a feast , of good things , toasts and compliments , warns and encour ages so heartily , that tiey obey hira Im plicitly and follow his advice when their period of reformation is over.

Mr. Hammond is the movns eplrit in a boys' club associated with Hartley house. Joel Thorn , whose father is one of Xew York's moEt prominent millionaires , de votes his spare energies to tie neighbor ing guild , and young Anson Stokes has pretty well made up his mind to forsake society for the pulpit.

How til Get Into Society. There is no denying New York's social precedence among American cities. Phila delphia's society may be more truly aristo cratic , that of Boston more cultured. Chi cago's more hospitable , but whoever would ] reach the very social apex in the United ! States must be known ia NewYork. . Every i year the population of the metropolis Is I swelled by the families of those men who have made their pile , north , south , east or I n * t , and who , equipped with money , desire i to "get Into" New York's inner fashion able circle. The receipt for achieving this feat is a j question these newcomers pander long aad ! earnestly. | Of money the smart set have enough and to spare. Beauty is not so uncommon amonrf them that the possessor of a fair face : an on that alone claim admission and , therefore many a man or woman eligible to adorn so ciety languishes without its charmed portals for lack of a proper weapon with which to storm tie door. StiH toere are ways of admission. One is to , ; o IB on philanthropy's helping hand It .s. perhape , the best way. because your ambition puts food into hungry mouths and fuel into cold fireplaces.

It finds expression in im- , iena ist speeches and crops out quite fre- .uenny in the expansion press. If annera- , _ n is the destiny of Cuba , the formal act t union is a thing of the distant future. A ! present the sentiment of Cubans Is over- a nelmmgly for independence. Charles M. Kepper , a noted American ccrrespondent. wrung from Havana to the St. Louis Globe- Democrat , says. Americans who hav * recently ooroe to Cuba are surprised at what they call the lack of annexation sentiment. A business man from a western city said to me. "We thought at home that everybody ez c-ept those Cuban generals wanted annara-1 tion. Down here I don't flnd anybody for 1C How Is that ? " Other newcomers are asking the same' question. They are all puxzled. The an-j awer they get to their questions commonly is that there was an annexation movement , but that it has disappeared. American of- Semis who have been here for months talk of this disappearance aa something my te- nous and phenomanal. They tell how everyj body they met on their am al wanted Cuba to be a part of the Cnitod States , and bow nobody wants it now. They are wondering ] what hat happened to eau e such a revul- Eion in feeling. i I have not been able to stare their perplexity - , i plexity , because I was never able to find the ; ; wrong annexation sentiment -Rblch as aald' ' u exisu It always eluded my search. The' movement now going on ia not an anti-an nexation movement.

Because The moBB of the Cuban people wanted ndt-pendente In October just as they want it today The piobablllty a that for a few months the agitation will be BO pronounced that noth ing else than immediate and complete in dependence will be talked. After a pencil of this agitation the reaction will come. It ' i may not be in favor of annexation , but it will cause saraest and sooer reflection on ! i -n bat is best for the future of Cuba. Out of I , that may grow a definite plan for an inde- i i pendent government under an American protectorate PosEitly tiere will be disappointment la , the United States that the tendency is not more strongly toward annexation. There I need be none. An understanding of the ' economic and other problems which must | , be worked out in Cuba -would not encourage I t haste in taking an AntiUiaa state into the ' ' union , and there is no prospect that even a j fraction of the people would a k annexation I j except as a state. Military men who came ! j to Cuba In the fall did not understand thtg j 1 fact. Their perceptive faculnet do not s em i ( to have been of the bust and their ability to I | discriminate was not of the highest order i j They found the property o-wnerc and sugar j i planters anxious for the shelter of the Amer- i lean flag. They niel leading ppofeaeional I men waa told them that Cutia was thinking ! | ' only of annexation. Havana buainau men , said that nobody except a few adventurers > among the insurgent general ! wanted mde1 1 pendencr , and these only because the ; oould 1 have the offices to themcelve . When one i j man presented the same et of views aix timea the army officers became confused In their minds and thought aix different man had given opinion * . As for the mosses , no aooount was taken of their ariat no and of their iaSuuaee. One day aa Amene n official wts tailing sae that the seetimont aaw > n th # Spaoianis was unanimous ( or aanaxatioe.

Just after the signing of ihe protocol - , col they had 'been fierce la their hatred of the Cubans and had wanted Immediate an- , nesotion. The American military officer , thought he wat giving correct information when he said the Spaniards were unanimous for annexation. Somebody had told nisi o , and he believwl it. Not knowing of the ex- I istance cif bedegueroe , he could not kaow' , of their chunged attitude and of the influ ence which they might exert.
