T.ihe g voice crying in the wilder dm of wealth and luxury, Robert Banter, the young aocfal reformer, ha> attend an appeal for the ten mil lion people of the United States who an steeped in proverty. To give t ffect to the appeal, Mr. Bunter, with bis young and beautiful wife, formerly Min Caroline Phelps Stokes, daughter of Millionaire Anson Phelps Stokes, has abandoned a mansion of wealth and itnury in fashionable Madison avenue and established- - in Grove street, where sloth and proverty abide on all sides, a home from which he and Mrs. Hunter will be able to devote tbelr efforts toward the alleviation of the suffering. Hot with any flare of trumpets has Mr. Hunter taken this radical step. Ba and bis pretty wife, whom be met a year ago while they were sepaiately ministering to the poor of the slums, had been In their quarters a week be- fore the newspapers found them out. They modestly disclaim any purpose to do anything but bear their Just Share of any responsibilities tbat tbe perilous situation may Impose upon all lovers of mankind. But already they are actively engaged In a score if practical charitable movement*" ms B OK OK "POIKKTV." Co-Incident with tbelr remove! t* Ho. 88 Grove street, Mr. Hunter's hook on “Poverty" was published by the Macmiliane. It is the result of Mr. Bunter’s fifteen years of labor among the poor of the nation, and It Is a ter rible aralgnment ot the State, the corporations " and the tmHrtduai em ployers of labor, whom he charges with Joint responsibility for the con ditions that prevail. Startling as is hts statement that there are 10,000,000 people In the United States- ou-'-elghtb of our pop elation—suff ring from proverty to day; tbat tbe scourage of mankind— oonaumptlon—Is epldrm'c, and- that Mm poor are p**. r than tver; he dO'.s not stop there, but predicts, unless re medial measures are adopted, an even worae condition, ending in an ec n omic feudalism worse than tbe h<tr i. lal feudalism of the Middle Agrs. > Mr. Hubter |do«8 not especially charge tbe Trusts with responsibility ~for tbe conditions, but tbe Inference which be draws is plain. “Poverty” is a txx k which Is bound to create a sensation among thinking people. At the lx ginning of his took, Mr. Buoter, In a chapter on gmeral pev •rty, defines the geographical limlu of the state of misery with which hr/ proposes to deal. AfUr referrlr g te the alum districts of forJgn cities, be mytr— CONGLOMERATIC POVERTY. “In our American cities negroes whites, Chinese, Mexicans, half breeds, Americans, Irish and others are indiscriminately housed together in tbe same tenements and even in tbe same rooms. Tue blind, the crip pled, tbe consumptive, the aged, Lhi ragged ends of life, the babUs, the Children, the half-starved, underclad beginnings in life, all huddled to gether, waiting, drifting. This Is pau- C rism. There Is no mental agony re; they do not work soft-; there h no dread; they live miserably, but they do not care.” Continuing, tbe author says: “How many people in tbls country are In poverty? Is the number year ly growing larger? Are there each year more and more of the unskilled class pursuing hopelessly the elusive phantom of self-support and Indepen dence v *****! have , not the slightest doubt that there are In the United States 10,0o0,000 persons la precisely tt.ee conditions of pover ty, but I am largely guessing, and there may be as many as tflet □ or twanty millions. But ought we not to know? * * * * “The number of evictions In any? community Is & fairly g 1 od measure ot the minimum of draire-s. In the year IMS 60,463 famUtea in the Borough of Manhattan were evicted from their homes. This Is about 14 per cent, of the total number of the families In the borough. “As another Indication the number of pauper burials shou d be cited. Every one familiar with tbe poor knows bow despi r&tely they sturggle to give a decent burial to tbelr dead, • * * and yet one in every ten per- sons who die In New York is burled at public expense In Potter’s Field.” Summ&r'zlng some of the facts which he then gives Mr. Huuter pre sents this table: STATISTICS OF DISTRESS. HM)3—Twenty per cent of the peo pie of Boston In distress. 1897—Nineteen percent of the peo- ple of New Yor In distress. 1899—Eighteen percent of the peo pie of New York In distress. ^03 —Fourteen per cent of the lawUeeof Manhattan evicted. Every year 10 per cent of tboae who dii in Manhattan have pauper hartals* “On the basis of these figures,” be continues, “it would seem fair to to estimate that certainly not fewer than 14 per cent of the people lo prosperous times (1903) and probably not fewer than 20 per cent in bad i (1897) are In distress.” Considering the causes of non em- into which the author ily diverts, ha makes this observation: . m reorganization of industry i, causing many thousands tf reenter lose temporarily their em- tbe introduction of new hating the sama effect; op of the machines, and dlaiaacaa work- •t an early age; excessive hours and a too plentiful record in years, showing many thousands were reduced to absolute want because of the death or permanent injury of the bead of tbe family. And he points out tbat the majority of these aooi dents could bate been avoided had the railroads Installed the necessary safe ty appliances. CONCENTRATION OK WEALTH. In a very significant tabls it is shown that of tba IBS,000.000,000— which is the estimated wealth ot tbe country—133,000,000 000 Is possessed by 126,000 Of the 80,000,000 Of our population. Summing up tbe situation, Mr. Hunter embraces in a single paragraph his message to the nation: ' “There are, probably,” he says, “In fairly prosperous years do fawer than 10,000,000 perrons in poverty—that lr to my underfed, uoderclothed and poorly houa.d. Of these, ah ut 4,000 000 penooa are public paupers. Over 2 000,000 working mrn are un employed. from four to six mouths in the year. About 600,000 male Imml grants arrive yearly and seek work in very districts where work i» scarcest. ,* . ' ■ ~- Nearly half the famlllra in th's country are propertyless. Over 1,700, 000 little children, are 1 forced to be- c jme wage earmrs when they should still be school. 3,000,000 women find It necessary to work and about 2 000,000 are employed In factories mills, etc. Probably no fewer than 1 000,000 workersare Injured or killed each year while doing tbelr work, and 10,000,000 of the persons now living •V Sill JURIIDI0TI0Y It “W.1 In tba hands of 8.

All of the proposed constitutional amendments were carried: First In Interost is the propo ition to have th legislature meet every two .yt’ar* In. stead of e ary ye- -r. The vote oa. was: Yts, 25 635; no, 14,491; toUl nuuiber cast, 39,856. A mere majori ty Is requmd, a two t ilrds majority being un.iecev-ary. A great deal of interest has’ been taken In the effort to amend the con ic Itu ion so that local or special Jaws may be enacted in reference to the building of roads, the age at-which persons aresutj et to road duty, and on the question of drainage. This of 160, but which was with It la but Just to say very few, to do with M. M. M irse’s death and tbe theory is that the negro was Im plicated to as to discredit his testl mony at the trial of W. L. Hender son, should hts testimony be in favor of H> nderson and against tbe State’s case. There Is not one ioU of te. tl mony connecting tbe negro with tbe killing of .Morse. Several days ago Cul breath wiu brought back from Pns- perity—whither he went after Morse ^as killed—by Mr. W. L Henderson’s friends and since that time has been U work fbr W.* W. Henderson, a brotber.of W. L. Henderson. On Mon day, It Is underatood, a warrant wat Issued f ir tbe Culbreath negro on tbe part of tbe State and S. D. Gillion was made a ep.clal constable to exe- cu e It. • A synopsis of the testimony at tbe trquwt telte story. — *■ Elgar Hendenon, a 14 year old son of W. W. Henderson, was at work in tbe field with tbe Culbreath negro. The darkey was plowing and young Henderson was cutting corn stalks. His 12 year old sister happened to be the field with her brother when GlUlon and his party came up. The Cttntoa to Tbe ra at six o'clock.' Tbusday afternoon tbe Thorn well orphanage seminar* bunding caught lire In tbe roof from a defective floe and was burned to tbe gronnd. Workmen bad Just finished tasting a new furnace and the bunding had been ohsed fir tie day. Tba lire waa dfcoovered early bat as the town has not yet put In It* waterworks tbe efforts to put out the flames were of no avail. Tbe fire spia reached an 86 foot tower and besame a huge pillar of flames. Efforts wen then diverted to tbe protection of the McCormick, a dormitory building on the orphanage Campus and the r e ta lion ball of the Presbyterian college both of which were threatened. B th buildings ware adequately protected The “Thornaell Seminary for Or phans,” which was tbe name of the burned building, was dedicated In 1883 by Gov. Hugh- S. Thomson, wbo*>a death the people are how ,1a menting. The building was In process of con ’ Htructlon for 18 months, during which period the labor fnd other bills wen promptly met afrtbe et d of each week though at no time were tbe funds io hand sufficient to pay them a wee k lb advance. This was the main education al btructure of tbe institution and con tained In addition to a large chapel some six class r oms. The loss is 18, 000, with only $1,000 of insurance. 1' falls therefore as a heavy blow upoi an In titutlon which only a few days ago had a similar loss, from which it had partially recovered by donations In tbe dining ball of tbe orphanage help Is net ded as never before. The flues from which it caught have beet In almost daily use since 1883. Ttu president of the orphanage has made It a practice to walk around the grounds each night after tbe retiring’ hour to see that all was safe. The Thornwetr orphanage Has many friends.

The State board showed tbat bad this been done and all the votes given to Noland the latter could not possibly have been elected. "Noland’s negro attorney abo claimed that tbe votes should not have been counted with,a representative of thecindtdate being there. The b ard -umled tbat It bas no Jurisdiction in tils case.
