MANY OFFERS TO ADOPT POOR MARGARET STOKES. Magician Harry Kellar Heads the List of Those Who Wish to Care for the Child! Victim of Mont Pelee. | Two days ago Margaret Stokes, | the little Brooklyn girl whose widowed mother, brother and l:ttle| sister perished inthe Martinique dis- aster, was without a friend in the world. To-day, in response to the Even- ing World’s question, “What Shali Be Done for Margaret Stokes?” came several letters from persons who express their willingness to care for her. Foremost among those who have written to the Evening World offer- ing to adopt the little girl is Harry Kellar, the magician of world-wide fame. Mr, Kellar, who with his wife} owns a beautiful place at Yonkers, | has taken a strong fancy to Mar- garet Stokes. This is the letter he has written to the Evening World: New York, May 23, 1902, Paitor Evening Worl I would be glad to adopt little Margaret Stokes, give her a home and educate her.

Mrs. Kellar und I have al- ways-loved children, but It never oc- curred to us to adopt one before, Until the last two or three years we have been travelling about constantly all over the world, and of course that would have been’a hard life for a child. “But now that we have a setued home we have realised what a blessing a child would be—the more so for not having one, 1 suppose.
