Hope It was a pitiful story to which the con- gressional joint committee on charities lis- tened yesterday afternoon, when the officers of the Home for Friendless Colored Girls told of the work and needs of that institu- tion, and it brought out substantial expres- sions of sympathy from the committee. Away out on the northern edge of the city, among the clay banks, perched at the top of a cliff, which has been cut away in the grading of a street, is an old-fashioned, rickety frame structure. It is almost coming to pieces; its sides are built up with sheet fron; its roof is leaky, and the whole Place is about as miserable and forlorn- looking as one could imagine. This is the Home for Friendless Colored Girls. There are twenty-six inmates and six helpless old colored women, who are taken care of at this place out of tne slender means whick the institution commands. As testified to the committee yesterday this home takes friendless colored children from the gutters and provides for them. It was claimed by Mrs. Sykes and Mrs. Tay- lor, the ladies who told the committee about the home, that if these children were turned adrift there is no other institution in the District in which they could be placed, as there are no accommodations elsewhere for colored children of their age and class. The children are rescued from starvation and from lives of crime in the slums, are clothed, as best they can be, sent to the Fublic school, and the elder girls taught the Eomely duties of housework to fit them for earning a living in the world. The way in which the home was started is typical of the work which it does, Mrs. Sykes explained to the committee. She said that a colored servant was going to her werk one morning, when she saw two little colored children eating out of a slop barrel in the alley. They had slept in another bar- tel near by. They had no home or friends, and there was no institution in this great city, she said, teeming with noble charities, to which these waifs could be sent. This colored servant, with one or two of her friends, rented a room and put those two little children in it, supplying them with food as they could get it. That was the beginning of the Home for Friendless Col- cred Girls. It has grown, being maintained largely by contributions from the colored people of the city. A few white people have taken an interest in it, but Mrs. Sykes said that while she found it easy to get money for charity to her own race, it was very difficult to get anything for the col- cred people. Mrs. Cleveland, she said, had lent her co-operation last year, and had assisted in raising money with which Mrs. Sykes is now paying the rent of $10 a month for the rickety old building occupied by the home. Mrs. Sykes said that the home is behind in its rent, that the agent is trying to dis- Possess them, but that they are fighting against getting out, because there is no other place for the home. She testified that the agent of the property refuses to put even a stepladder or a pair of stairs from the top of the cliff to the bottom, and that access to the home can be obtained only by going down the hill in the rear and cross- ing the pasture. When coal is delivered it has to be hoisted up in baskets. One day last winter, she said, when the HOME FOR FRIENDE: THE OFFICIAL MOE ae OP “ot 2c, pee Pati se WEATHER MAF, val HTT CRU aly c Ni al SN: er: SS | Anus EXPLANATORY NOTE: Observations taken at 8 a.m., 75th meridian thme: Solid lines are te0- bars, or lines of cqual air pressure, drawn for each tenth of an inch.

The institution received $2,700 last year from Congress, and the expenses were about $7,000. The principal revenue is derived from the manufacture of shirts by the inmates, for which they receive fifty cents a dozen.

Morrison came out from her hotel with a great basket of sandwiches. She said it was pitiful to see the eagerness “with which each little African fist closed around a sandwich as they reached into the basket for them.” She said that Maj. Moore had practically supplied the home with coal last winter, and Commissioner Ross had done all he could for them. But it has been very hard for them to pull through on account of the inability to get money. “But where was your aid from the gov- ernment all this time?” questioned Repre- sentative Northway, in a surprised tone. Mrs. Taylor replied that the home does not receive any. She said that during President Harrison’s administration they got $150 at one time and $250 at another, but had never been able to get anything since. They had made frequent appeals to the superintendent of charities, but without avail. Senator McMillan, Senator Faulkner and Represertative Northway had listened with the utmost attention and sympathy. They were evidently much surprised at the state of things. They were the more surprised from the fact that the committee did not know of the existence of this institution, and it had not been included on the printed list of institutions to be heard. At the conclusion of the hearing the members of the committee manifested their interest in a substantial manner, telling Mrs. Sykes and Mrs. Taylor to go to the District Commissioners, have them make a recommendation of the cost of a small buildirg, and the committee would en- deavor to secure the money in the next ap- Propriation bill to build the structure, it having been shawn that the home pos- sesses a lot, donated to it some time ago by a charitable lady in Connecticut. The home is now situated on Erie street be- tween 17th and 18th streets northwest. Prior to this, and after The Star’s report of the proceedings closed, two other insti- tutions were heard from. Mrs. Barrett and Mrs. La Fetra of the Hope and Help Mis- sion told of the work of that institution. This ts a branch of the Florence Critten- den system of homes for fallen women. It is supported by private contributions ang by $1,000 a year received from the govern- ment. It is non-sectarian, and its object is to endeavor to reform young women from lives of shame. =f ‘The House of the Good Shepherd was represented by Father Mackin and Mrs. CASTORIA FOR Infants and Children.

Two Fires. Shortly after midnight last evening a fire was discovered in the grocery store ar #0th and O streets, owned by Charles Ara bin. J. J. Fister, the well-known bicyclist, was on his way home, when he discoverea the fire, and an alarm was immediately turned in from box 72, at 28th and O streets. The engines .quickly responded. and in a short time had the fire under con- trol, it being necessary to force an, en- trance into the store. The owner, who lives in Tenleytown, was'at his home, and did not know of the matter until some hours later. The damage is placed at $200, partially covered by insurance. The origin ef the blaze could not be ascertained. ’A fire broke out Sunday afternoon about 8 o'clock at the dwelling 2454 P street, oc- cupied by Brenna Fountalroy, to which Truck B responded on @ local alarm. The damage was placed at §25, and the origin is unknown. Exciting Runaway.

To that note Mr. Davis had not at a late hour thie afternoon received a reply, althovgh he expects one in a day or two. Before asking the court to enforce the sen- tence Mr. Davis will, however, await a reply from Mr. Wilson. Mr. Davis also stated that he has writ- ten the attorneys of the remaining indicted sugar trust witnesses, Messrs. Macartney, Havemeyer, Searls, Seymour, Edwards and Shriver, informing them that he will set the cases down for trial in the Criminal Court on Monday, the 17th instant. In writing, Mr. Davis explaired to the de- fendant's counsel that he will reserve until then the announcement of the name of the particular defendant he will try that day. ———.——__ PAYMASTER CORWINE ARRAIGNED.

Reports from the several com- mittees will be under consideration. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock an aged man named A. B. Ambrose died sud- denly at his home, No. 616 Sheridan street northwest. As he had not been attended by a physician the coroner was notified. He had the body removed to the morgue. The deceased, it is thought, was about eighty years old, and he had been in feeble health for several months. This morning the coroner investigated the case and gave a certificate of death from natural causes. Sam Coleman, the colored crank, who walked here from Houston, Tex., and call- ed at the White House to see the Presi- dent, did not enjoy spending the night in a police station. This morning he was put on a train and started in the direction of his home. He was sadly disappointed because of his failure to see the President, but he was glad to get out of the cell.
