OLUME 43. wwNO. 18,012. _A PRIVATE SNAP CHARITY. | A little Olivor Twist whom Dickens would have liked ‘to know stood before a number of city officials recently i d underwent inspection. He was a prize pupil of the titution for the Improved Instruction of Deaf Mutes, whose care the city and State together pay $300 a N as they pay for some two hundred other children : 33a the same institution. The boy had on his best sult, Intended for a much smaller lad. It was a second- i suit, not clean and too heavy, one Intended for | winter wear. The sleeve linings ‘were torn out. The shoes were second hand and patched; the stockings “were too short to reach his knickerbocker trousers. ‘The boy’s appearance was altogether ludicrous and distress- THE JEWELRY DISGRICG OF THE FUGVRE.

And further investigation of the conditions prevail- ing at this select charitable institution showed a state of ‘faire highly discreditable to the management. And one -guch as to arouse grave suspicions of fraud, that institution's accounts had been permitted to go tor years unaudited; it had drawn money for vacation = time to the extent of $200,000; It had billed day pupils as boarders, mulcting the city for $90,000, and it had collected money for clothing not bought. | These are facts and figures from Comptroller Grout's _ feport on this institution. They are of a kind to arouso Serious reflection in the community, suggesting as they do the prevalence of practices such as brought re- proach on British cheritable homes and Institutions of “ fn earlier generation. It will be interesting to learn more about the managers of the Institution for the Im-| _ proved Instruction of Deaf Mutes. Who its Mr. Bumble? ELECTRICITY FOR THE TUNNEL, is Nine months after the Central's tunnel disaster the| » road announces itself as ready to begin the preliminary work of electrical installation. The conditions have been | ‘ _ favorable on several occasions for a repetition of the dis-! + aster, but chance has happily averted it. An accident of gimilar nature occurred on the Elevated road yesterday, high in the air and under the best atmospheric cond!- _ tlons procurable on such a day. What the Central's en- gineers have yndergone in the smoke and steam and fog of the tunnel during the past three days {s a subject that not mak® pleasant speculation for passengers with “Whose safety they have been intrusted. _ But the provisional plans are ready at last. Large c fons move slowly. The proposed improvements re based on tho assumption that the city will permit “the Central to widen Park avenue. With the permis- sion granted and authorization by the Legislature given ~~ to make the changes the installation can be speedily Tn seeking this permission from the city ft is to be “hoped that the Central's officials have duly considered | - the need of finding out how the Aldermen stand on the | guiestion—a delicate problem in the doctrine of proba- bilities, THE “L” COLLISION, A little harder bump and the rear-end collision on B the Ninth Avenue Flevated yesterday would have been } @eatastrophe. Where it occurred the road runs nearly even with the housetops and the crowded cars leaving the track might easily have broken the guard rail and been precipitated to the street below, What was the cause of the collision? i The engineer “responsible for it had been in the road’s employ for more], ' than twenty years, almost from its beginning, and this was his first accident. It is to be hoped that he momen- turily lost control of his locomotive. This is a more agreeable inference than that he was careless, ‘To look flredly day after day at the rails ahead on the alert against disaster is something an engineer {s not called onto do. Immunity may famillarize him with danger and leave him satisfied with an occasional glance to see that the track is clear. If the fatal moment vives between glances, so much the worse for the pas- sengers. EXEMPT MILK, Jn the trial of a Goerck street milk dealer yesterday for selling adulterated milk the prisoner's attorney, a _ former assistant Corporation Counsel, made the state- mont that it was “an unwritten law of the Board of Health that no milk intended for the manufacture of i cream, crackers, &c., should ever be examined." ~ Thin extraordinary allegation, if true, points to a laxity of duty by the health officials. Is it thelr theory that a typhoid germ would be numbed to harm- sness in a fregzur or beaten into innocuousness in the ker’s dough? Why then examine milk intended for ? Will not the whiskey kill the germs? A little might enable the Board to exempt from examina- We many other consignments of milk that now under- ae that tedious process. 1 ae THE.WHALL OF RECORDS.

While tt was hard and sometimes discouraging to him, he came month by month to realize that his brain was able to solve the problems presented by the books, and the high spirit of independence, which ever characterized his race, grew in his young heart, until he whispered softly to himself: “Why not? Why am not I as good as she? Without masters or teachers I am able to teach her day by day how to do her tasks. Why can- hot Igo out and conquer the world ana come back and—" and then bbs dream went off Into that rosy realm where It really Is not safe to vouch for thelr ac- curacy or thelr sanity And then came the crash. Bthel had arrived at the age of sixteen and was about to launch forth as a young lady in the devious and alluring paths of soclety, under the sktlful tutorship of her mother. And Ethel was a willing udent—and an apt. and the horseback rides and the romps became fewer and fewer and Donald fretted his young spirit sore. But he was patient ana faithful, and many a time when sorely disappointed did he catch the gleam of kindly sympathy from the eyes of Jen- nie Gray, the young maid who served Ethel. “A fine lass," he said to himself, ‘An’ I pity hor for having to spend her time in the great house with its sordid atmos- phere, mull it is worth all the na hiadlostonc tees waar ae De One day after an expllarating ride with Ethel, incident to ch there haa been conalderable talk of books and studies, Donald, warmed by the com- pantonship and exalted by his own. thoughts, Ungered at the doorsteps af- ter helping Ethel down, and poured out his hopes and abpirations—his dreams of an academle education and a career as a surgeon.

And she laughed merrily at her little joke, “I will tell papa of your impudence, and If he does not dischange you I will wee to It that you do not ride with me any more I would have you know, sir, that Iam to marry a gentleman. This Impudence comes of treating servants ke human beings.” She swept Into the house, leaving Donald standing, stunned, beside ths horwes Her little maid, Jennile Gray, who had come to meet her mistrevs, and had been an involuntary Ustener to the scornful speech, saw the pain and hu- millation which came into Donald's eyes, and before going Into the house went to him, and laid her hand on his arm, “I am sorry for you, Donald," she said, her oyes wet with sympathy “But you must not mind, Be a great surgeon, any way.” He shook her off roughly and turne} away, but an instant later sprang to her “Forgive me," he sald, “I do not know what 1 am dolng.
