No rich man or “woman, no society or organization knows the needs of the poor as do =the poor: thems<lyes : ; | The worthiness of {he recipient is the test of whether charity does , or harm. no one can know so well as’ people “similarly situated. The story of little Maggie L Bhould be read by every o Wesires fo know how to gis » Maggie Lang isan eleven-) ¥ Yhouse at Nd. 117 Bank street. *The Rogers family live on the floor} “below and the Bymes family did live in a few rooms in the same house. ‘Thomas Byrnes had consumption and: did not work. Mrs. Byrnes ment out to work, but a fortnight ago she was taken sick. None. of the ur Byres children was old enough to’ work. . With no one in the © family earning anything, the food supply ran out in a few days, andthe © andlord sent a marshal with a_dispossess summons. It took a week for the dispossess proceedings to run their ordinary course. Last Friday the Brynes family and what furniture they had | been unable to pawn were turned out on the sidewalk. The need for aid was knmediate. | There was no time for application | to a society, for investigation by] > the society’s officers, for the look- | Ing up of the record of Thomas Byrnes and his wife, or in fact fon any of the preliminaries which are necessary safeguards to indis- cziminate charity from the rich to the poor. The/ poor among themselves need no such safeguard. They know. g Maggie Lang acted at once. She took the little Rogers girl with her, and they made a canvass of the tenement-house where they lived, and the nearby tenement-houses. They waited for the workmen in the -electric factory round the corner. ‘All told they collected $11. ___ This $11 pald two weeks’ rent in advance for two roonis, where | the whole Byrnes family are now sheltered. It bought coal and a week’s food, and there was over $2 left. The next day was pay day. The two little girls went to factories Where they were acquainted with the workmen and collected $22 more, enough to support the Byrnes family for a month. Such cases as this are common. What Maggie Lang and -her iftiends did for the Byrneses is done in every tenement-house in New fYork,-and done so often as to be a matter of course. = The money raised for such charities as these is most discrimina ingly spent. To think of, providing food, shelter and’ heat for a family of six out of the $11 and then to have a surplus! Contrast this with the disbursements of any of the rich men’s charities where the deserving heneficiaries receive only the fraction of the expenditures. And in how That. worthin. g’s charity’ to the Byrnes fami f giving, and rea Common PEOPLE _loften teard tt many cases are the charities of the rich ready at hand for immediate use, as is always the charity of the tenement? ace These two little girls raised their charitable fund not from the land- fords who own the tenement-houses and whose high rents help to cause poverty, not from the stockholders or the offiters-of the manufacturing | __ corporations in that neighborhood, not from the people of large means | In New York, but from the workingmen themselves who. contributed } out of their pay envelopes, from the women of the tenements, whose c rent monéy is depleted to pay the. rent of their unfortunates. i \ d expect you to be joyful,’ sx invite whom you vant; but w u to be there. 1 Mrs. Jar? people you di 6 they were my n of you to give you a surpri “You say friends 7 i | “You know a8; surprise less You he plano like a fool, sald Mrs dart, Ye ered how ee no plea @ aloo} what takes place at them? re in any Innocent amusement. call It off."
