Five hundred in all, men and women; the majority of them tottering on their feet, groped ; their way down East Twenty-slxih street 10-day ntl! ther could go no further, and stood In front of the gray-hued sheet-iron shed, which In known as the Charities department. "This Is the place; stay where . you are!" shouted the few policemen on duty, as with busy hands they kept . thinning out the ev ,t0 a double line. er-increaslng crowd which stretched away to Fifth avenue, along: the mor and the wa,l8 Qf Belevuw HoM j ltaI Each one In turn felt the hand, of 1 poIk.enian ald genUy on tnelf shoulders, but they saw nothing of I their protectors or their surroundings. i'i'hey were the Indigent blind of the city come to receive their stipends. With some of the poor blind there came relatives, who had led them to Twenty-sixth street from various parts of the city; but these escorts were put aside, and each of the city's wards in turn were led by a policeman to the window behind which sat Paymasters Nicholas Morrell and T. J. Cronln, with gold in little heaps on a ledge! beside them. Thirty-three thousand dollars ull told, was in these neaps. And these people, who saw nothing of the sunshine or the morgue or the Charities Building, did not seem sad. The prospects of receiving money had gladdened their poor hearts, and on the faces of the maporlty there were smiles, while not u few tongues were loosened, and there were passages of w it, such as are seldom heard In this gloomiest of city blocks. These poor people Joked even over their own misfortune. "See that you get every penny that's ; jii 1 ii to you," remarked one old wo man to her neighbor. "He sure you don't take a bad piece," .said another. "Now, don't be talkin'," said an old fellow of eighty, "but look straight ahead or you'll mlsH the , window." "Well, this is the blind leadin' the blind," said a decrepit old woman mid way in the line as a policeman put a hand on her shoulder to guide her aloiiK. "Py their chingle alretty I can see them gold dollars again once," said a hoary son of the fatherland who had followed von Moltke and now stood next but one to the pay window. At the end of the line when the pay window was opened was John Mullens, of 3fj(i Water street, sturdy looking, In spite or his blindness and eighty-two years. He was given his money -some $a0- and, with u "Thank ye. glntle men." and a "Hod bless yer kindly lookin' faces," he was passed on to he taken In charge by his wife, two years his Junior, who hurried him home "to gel something for the sick ' boy." The "sick boy" Is their flfty-six-year-old Hun. Meyer Frleilenberg and his wife, Flora, of 407 Kant Fifteenth street, both of whom are blind, next receiving their dole, and so It went on all day long until official closing hour. At least 100 more of the city's blind pensioners are expected at the office to morrow, when the total sum set aside for this charity $33.270 -will have been distributed. I,OST I.KJ I'XDKK t .MlS.

There are persons in this congregation who are too proud , to come up her and kneel for fear the world will laugh at them. There is a day coming when you must answer for the privileges of to-night. Then you will be glad to have an opportunity to kneel for par don from sin and death. Don't be a stumbling block to any one. There are people in this congregation, no doubt, who have put the bottle to another's Hps since these meetings began. That man will regret a thousand times that he has done such a thing. He thinks he is a friend to the fellow when he is stabbing the heart no doubt of a Christian mother or wife and ruining the home of the man. God will mark such a man. " Mr. Stuart paid his respects to the liquor traffic, saying that If he was an officer of this city, he would resign to-morrow; that they had swore to do their duty at all times, and that there were blind tigers on every hand known to them, and the officers let them alone. "We need public officers with grit and backbone, and blind tigers mat sena our' boys to hell and our mothers to premature graves, would not exist for a moment." Mr. Maddox, son of Mr. D. F. .

C. October 4. 1905. at 10:80 o'clock a. m. The chapters all fully understand to what representation each one Is entl tied in convention, and will cast Its votes accordingly. Registered and paid-up members regulate votes, and I earnestly urge each .chapter to sec to It that every member is registered and Htata and general dues paid. . v The credential papers must ba In the hands of the credential committee, Mrs, J. Lockwood Jones, chairman, on Tuea day night, October I, so that this om mlttee wtil bo ready Jo report at 10;30 Wednesday , morning end not delay the opening of the convention.

I ask your hearty co-operation for the State con vention of 1906. " : ' Now, as the general convention meets In San Francisco at the same time this year as the State" convention, I here wish to urge that all the chapters of the division send to the proper parties.! before September 15 the general di vision credential blanks, which have been sent them, naming delegates. And as the proxy (in case the delegates cannot go, even at , the last moment), please name the chairman of the North Carolina delegation, or Mrs. John P. Hickman, recording secretary, U. D. C. As there is obliged to be a chairman, the chapters are thus sure of being rep resented. Let North Carolina cast a full vote in the general convention to be held in San Francisco, October 3, 1905.
