It was the one best midnight bet, the stretch of elty which beckoned to the society “slummers" of the upper reaches the growing metropolis, and all the while the harboring place of the worst elements of the human family--and some of the best. It was the spot of fof #'l places in New York best fitted for the missionary work of the minds which then guided the destinies of the 7.0. C. A For the “Y" men of that day had the idea in mind to provide shelter to the stranger within the city gates and the man they wanted to help mosi was the man who hadn't a cent te pay for his night's meal and shelie: but with the heart and stomach te out and hustle for work—to help bin self. And that is the principle which the Bowery branch is condu to-day, They can find plenty of upon ed the needy on the Bowery; in fact it is the needy who find the Bowery “Y,” and no questions asked. If they haven't any money their credit is good. They are taken in without a cent, given a dinner if they get there at dinner time, given a bath and a bed, their clothing steamed and cleaned, and they are routed out for breakfast next morning and given the opportunity to look for work, with the injunction that if they don't find it to return at night for another meal and a bed— and this goes on for a week at least. In the mean time the officers and secretaries and workers are all strains ing points to get work for the work- less man. There is no yesterday for reference for the man who goes to the Bowery “'Y."" | He may come from Kalamazoo, from California or from prison, It is what he is to-day and what he intends to with the future. College men have gone there in the ranks of the down and out; lawyers, doctors, club men, professors—men from all walks of life. That was the way it was put to the guests at the anniversary Inst night by Cleveland A. Dunn, Chair- man of the Committe of Management of the Branch, who acted as toast- master, whilo former Governor A. KE. Smith was the guest of honor and Principal speaker of the evening. “Men have slept ingthese dormitor- tes," said Mr. Dunn, “who have been members of the Union League Club.” And among the speakers were r formed crooks, eminent safe crackers who had been house breakers, bur- glars once of high class and highway- men who ranked with the toughest and most unworthy of them all. Mr. Dunn begged of the newspaper men present that they refrain from men- tioning the names of the men who had studied life from behind prison walls for the reason that they had re- deemed themselves and were now » mysel? ip the om.

Mr. Wanamaker then advises his readers to con- sult bankers of unquestioned reputation and ability before letting go their lifetime savings. Readers of THE WORLD will be doubly appreci- ative of Mr. Wanamaker's timely counsel, in that their interests are safeguarded by one of the most rigorous censorships ever established over the finan - cial advertising pages of a great newspaper.
