( Continued from Seventh I'nge. )
Snntaieni , nnd another nt the city ot
Campinas , In the coffee-raising state ot Sao
Paulri.
The Campinas colony was very largo away
buck In the sixties , hut It has now dwindled
down to about 100 families. It Is made up
of 'southerners , who selected Brazil as a
homo hoforo slavery was nbollehcd In the
United States. They were very sore over
the defeat tf the sMitCi. Thy had hcon
slaveholders and when they came south
they supposed , 1 vcntuio , that Brazil would
always hnvo slaves.
The llrst who cnme were from Alabama ,
Hcoigla nml Mississippi , but later on thcro
were some from Texas and other unites.
They bought Innd and sonic of them for a
time had slaves and several Imd these slaves
freed by the emancipation laws of Brazil.
In fact , n number of them had their slaves
taken away from them twice In this way ,
once In the United States nnd the second
time In South America.
I met a number of thcso southerners dur
ing my stay In South America , but I have
yet to talk with one who Is not anxious to
got back to the United States. Only a few
are doing well. The most of them are In
just about the same condition that they
would have been had they stayed at home.
They all say they expect to go back some
day , but the probability Is they never will.
They have Kngllsh schools , and , although
they are so few , they stick to their church
denominations and have little heavens of
their own. In the colony at Campinas there
are Presbyterian , Baptist and Methodist
churches , each of which , I venture , has Its
Kpoclal variety of hell In expectation.
With this letter I close the regular series
describing my South American tour. From
Mannos , 1,000 miles up the Amazon , I re
turned to 1'ara , whore I got a cargo steamer
for Now York. The distance from Para to
Now York Is over 3,000 miles. The time
required It twelve days and the faro
was $90
My whole South American tour , from Now
York to New York , Including the Interior
trips whloh I made , covered a Httlo over
25,000 miles. The expenses were at times
very heavy and at times comparatively
light , averaging for the tour bctwen $9 and
$10 gold a day.
As a whole the traveling Is not unpleasant.
The ships of the west coast are very com
fortable and those of the south Atlantic as
far as nin are not had. The hotels In the
largo cities ore fair and much cheaper than
In the United States.
FRANK Q. CARPENTER.
New York's Charity.
Now York Is "charity mad. " Controller
Color says so Princely fortunes every voar
are poured out In support of so-called
eMrltv , reports the Sun. Now York state
emends twenty million annually. New York
rlly gives two-thirds of that tntal. The city
alnno dlrcctlv .appropriates three and three-
quarter million dollars for public nnd prl-
vato charities. Of this oum $1.78 < , SG ) Is
given to "private Institutions out of the tax
monnv. Add to this the various sums that
are divided up and the sum the city gives
these private Institutions amounts , accord
ing to a cliarlty export , to $3 251R02 SI
nut porlmns all this monov Is noedcd to
rollovo distress. What d"es Mr. Color mean
by saving New Y rk Is "charity mad ? " To
go to the very bed r"ck ot things , ho means
that the pubic money appropriated for
ohnrity In the city amounts to about $3 per
capita , and probably n llttlo leas than $1.50
per capita roachrs the more or loss suffer
ing poor. The remainder goes to pay sala
ries tn persona who make their living out of
the charity huslnesa. IIo moans that In
1S30 , when times were nnt so good and
mrnoy was not so widely distributed , the
total amount of charity amounted to Cl
cents per capita. IIo means that the city
and philanthropy have fie liberally emptied
tholr wallets that an active competition has
epriing up among the men who are manag
ing thrso charities to see who shall make
the greatest showing and get the largest
nuinhor of paupers. IIo means that the great
hospitals that are solf-suppnrttng through
liberal endowments vie with each other In
the magnificence of their buildings , and
rival ambulance surgeono wrangle In the
streets to see who shall got a likely looking
patient. IIo means that smaller hospitals
get money from the city , do a handsome
business through medical Bchools attached ,
and each year ohow a surplus greater than
the city's donation. IIo means that matern
ity hospitals scour the nolehbnrhood to got
wives of well to do mechanics to become
Inmates that the obstetrical elapses may
hava experience and the city may bo charged
$25 n case nnd $5 a week board. IIo means
that the hospital buslncro Is overdone , and
that there nro 1,200 vacant beds In hospitals
In Manhattan borough alone and 5,000 va
cant beds In Institutions for children.
But Mr. Coler moans more than that.

A CLASS OF STUDENTS OF BOYLES' SHORTHAND SCHOOL.
This school Is considered by business men as being the most thorough and practical. Its graduates are always In demand
The school Is located In the Hee Building and the above picture was taken In the court of the building.
How the private money may be spent Is no
concern of his. The expenditure of the
public money Is what ho Is concerning him
self with. Hearing on the use or misuse of
this public money , he means that hereafter
thcro must bo a halt In the Indiscriminate
giving , In systematic pauperizing and in
using the city's money without the city's
auditor knowing what It Is used for. He
finds a temperance rescue getting $7,000
from the city , and receiving $10 from private
sources. Ho discovers a throat hospital get
ting $3,000 from the city and $310 from prlv-
vato sources , and treating five charity pa
tients at a cost of $2,900. Ho feels com
pelled to get after the dispensaries , too.
There nro sixteen of them In Brcoklyn , get
ting largo sums of city money. They are
distributing medical charity to 70 per cent
of a population that , according to the cen
sus , contains only one pauper to each 100
citizens.
The Increase In the amount of public
money given to private Institutions Is elo
quent. The committee points out that In
1S98 the city appropriated $1,578,517.00 for
asylums , reformatories and private Institu
tions. The same year $1,3CJG08 was appro
priated for public charities , so that the
private appropriations were $213,909.00 in
excess of the public ones. The amount for
private charities In 1899 jumped to $1,781-
840.78 , an Increase of $200,329.72. The public
charities appropriation also Increased $576-
007 , or to $1,941,215.
A tracing of the disposition of these funds
reveals what was not suspQCtcd before
that a number of Institutions are drawing
money from two sources from the city.
Thirty-five Brooklyn Institutions that al
ready have direct appropriations from the
city share In the division of the $100,000
fund , and ten Institutions that get money
direct from the city and receive a part
of the $100,000 fund In addition come infer
for the divvy of the $3,000 fund.
In addition to these funds there are a
largo number of Institutions which not only
get money direct from the city , but share
In the exclso funds. These number twenty.
Further than this , there are societies that
are not only on the regular list , but share
In the distribution of the theatrical and
concert license fund , which , in 1S9S , amount
ed to $48,707.05.
But this Is not nil. Section 1152 of the
charter authorizes certain private schools
to participate In the common school fund.
This amounts to $125,000 , nnd seventeen In
stitutions that got public money direct nisi
got a slice of this fund.
Very few of the Institutions that get the
city's money make any report to the city
or to anybody else , Some of them use the
money for buildings ; some of them use It
for big salaries ; some of them squander It ;
seme of them use It deliberately.
Farm for Bowl of Punch
A deed is on record in Oochland county ,
Va. , an abstract of which reads : "Wil
liam Randolph , for and in consideration of
Henry Wctherburn'a biggest bowl of arrack
punch to him delivered nt nnd before the
scaling and delivery of these presents , the
receipt whereof the said William Randolph
doth hereby acknowledge , hath granted , etc. ,
unto the eald Peter Jefferson and to his
heirs nnd assigns one certain tract or parcel
of land , 00 acres , on the north side of the
Northanna In the parish of St. James , in
Ooochlnnd , 18th May , 1730. " This was Cap
tain Peter Jefferson , father of the president ,
by his marriage October 3 , 1739 , with Jane
Randolph , first cousin of the William Ran
dolph of Tuckahoo , above mentioned.
Clothing Sense
Any clothing is clothing. True. So any
coffee is coffee so any flour is flour. But grades
differ. If you understood clothing as well as you
do coffee and flour , it would be easy to determine
good from bad. When you buy an article whose
value you don't know , you pick out a reliable
house to trade with and trust to their honesty and
reputation.
for the fall of 1899
we will place on sale unquestionably the finest high-grade cloth
ing made in this country , by the well known wholesale tailors ,
Alfred Benjamin & Co. , a house that cuts each garment singly
and with the same pains-taking care as the tailor would cut a
made-to-measure suit. On the inside of their clothes you'll find
the same honest tailoring , the same perfect finish that makes the
outside so handsome elegant , fashionable , perfect in fit and make.
