m. HELPING THE PRISONER. THE "TOMBS ANGEL" RECOUNTS SOME OF HER EXPERIENCES IN ASSISTING THE CRIMINAL CLASS. Notwithstanding the rain, a large number of pereor.s assembled yesterday afternoon In response to the Invitation of Mrs. J.

"Warren ddard. No. S3 East to listen to an account of the -work of Mrs. J. A.

Foster in the Tombs. Mrs. Foster, who is better- known as the Angel." recounted some of her experiences In the list sixteen years in trying to help the criminal class of women and children of this city. Without the help of the justices, she said, her efforts would fee of no avail, but in every case she has received their encouragement and support, not one of ever being 1 too busy to listen to her. Her work began, she explained, by accident.

She had visited a police court in behalf of a boy unjustly accused. While there she found a girl in even greater need of help, and her work in that direction has never fclr.ee She narrated many instances which Illustrated her dally rounds of benevolence In the discouraged, helping the families of men wnX to prison, getting work for those who are discharged and looking after girts and women sentences have been suspended, and for Whom she Is made responsible by the Justices. Not the least of her efforts are for young girls Charged with petty thefts. Many of these, she come from country homes and receive small Like all girls, they desire to look pretty. tut have no one to tell them that the thing to irake them prettiest la modest conduct and en upright life.

To the girls and women leaving prison she gives presentable wearing apparel, order that they may be able to find honest work. An eld man not long ago was arrested for attempted suicide. He jj had been eating out of barrels, and decided that "it was not worth while to try to live." He came before the court, and through Mrs. Foster's intercession his sentence was suspended and he was turned over to her care. She took him to a lodging house run by philanthropy, and the first night he was there he was found by son.

who had not seen him in thirty years, who had read the rtory in the papers. The old man now a ber of his son's family, in as happy a home as can be found: More money If needed for her work each year. Foster said, because the demands are "con-. etantly increasing. She gives women who are out of work employment in making up material into garments, and these are given to the destitute.

From June 1 to October 1 she furnishes ice to all the city prisons. Justice Hinsdale. of the Court of General paid a tribute to Mrs. Foster's work, and clared that In their official capacity she helps the Justices as much as they do her in her capacity of 3 general helpfulness to the criminals. Only five persons who have nad sentences suspended him upon her recommendation have "come back on his hands." District Attorney Phllbin echoed the same taents, and said that Mrs.

Foster uses legitimate efforts, and never attempts to interfere with the course of Justice. He has never known her to preach nor heard of her being aggressively re-3 liplous. To all, Jews and Christians and those of 1 r.o faith, he said, she extends a helping hand. A. M.

Hadden is chairman of the "Friends at Court" committee, a little band of personal friends of Mrs. Foster, their otject being to raise J3vO a month for the support of her work. In a brief report of expenditures Mr. Hadden stated that Mrs. Foster made during the last year 1.171 visits, helped tV prisoners and eighty-one prisoners' families; I eighty-three persons were sent to their homes in this country, two girls to Germany, a woman and child to Italy, two girls to Ireland, and one each to France and Bermuda.

AT FORT MONROE MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH HER GENEROSITY. Last January Misi Helen M. Gould gave $10,000 to bulM headquarters of the Young Men's Christion Ass itl at Fort Monroe, under the condition that the name of the giver be kept secret. The fact came out yesterday, however, when active work was begun upon the erection of the building. A second headquarters of the association has Just bees provided for at Fort Hancock, N.

by Thomas S. Gladding, of this city, who gave $10,000 a memorial to his wife, who was a member of the Woman's Auxiliary of the association, cf which Miss Gould is a vice-president. These buildings are to be for enlisted men In the United States Army, and are part of 'he army and navy work of the association. They will have the principal features of asa buildings. A new and unique feature of library work In these and other buildings under the army and navy department, and also of library work on board men-ofwar, is a bulletin board, the background of which Is heavy munlla paper, upon which are parted clippings from many newspapers These clippings cover everything thought specially to interest men.

11 movements of vessels, changes In officers' appointments, legislation In Congress nffectlnfi: the army and navy, and movements to improve the condition and service of the men. These bulletins are pared in this cltv and pent all over the world, wherever men-of-war may be reached. The building of the Gould and the Gladding headquarters is part of a plan that looks to similar structures at every port in the United where vessels remain for any length of time, and where enlisted men in the army are stationed. Membership In one is being gradually extended to mean membership in all. SO that the movement of vessels and the transfer of regiments do not Interfere with association privileges.

FOR THE WELL DRESSED CHILD. FASHION'S WERE NEVER PRETTIER THAN THEY ARE THIS SPRING. Among the seasonable novelties seen In one of the leading shops was a prllsse In green Orion satin for a little miss of five years. The hand worked girdle, undersleeves arid fichu were of creamy gauze. To be worn with this coat was a gauzed white satin bonnet, the front covered with guipure lace and white cr.lffon rosettes.

A pretty design for a girl of fourteen was a costume in woo! in a chosen color, with a vest of white, embroidered In shaded silks. A hat of silk to match had a brim of transparent guipure, ornamented with a cluster of graceful ostrich feathers. For a £lrl of nine a coat of silk and wool satin had the collar and sleeves scalloped and hand embroidered, the soft silk tie being similarly treated. A hat to correspond 5 of gauzed silk, with a chiffon rosette in front and drooping feathers on each side. A dainty dancing frock was of rose pink crepe de chine, with applique and of Cluny lace.

A sash and rosette of black chiffon gave the touch of contrasting color effect, which is a noticeable feature of children's dresses this spring. SEVERAL NOVELTIES. The fichu is a popular and much used decoration, and the underaleeve: is considered a necessary adjunct. Fine nun's veiling or crepon. with insertion, forms an appropriate and effective combination for misses' gowns.

For little girls sailor suits in linen, pique, duck and other wait materials have gained a strong hold, their serviceable qualities and general utility recommending them to the average mother. In outer garments the box coat occupies the foremost position, the three-quarter length being especially desirable. These are shown In various woollen materials, as we. as pique and linen. Borne have fancy collars, bin there are many who prefer to buy the coat plain and make the collars at home "in order to carry out their own Ideas.

Hats an especially attractive, and come in straw, chiffon, mull and ribbon. Some exceedingly pretty bonnets are shown, but hats are usually preferred except for very younc children. The time has ceased to be wl.en clothing for the little fellows was properly regarded as within the province of the mother's handicraft. From the miniature dress suit and the Liliputian Inverness down to the separate trousers new features are seen in material, style and cut. Particularly noticeable among the latest models for boys is an overcoat made in Venetian cloth of various shades, cut with a good deal of spring at Bottom, and rather longer than the ordinary covert coat.

Tne bell shaped tendency is the distinctive feature of this garment which Is suitable for spring and early summer wear. A Norfolk suit of checked tweed shows a continuation of box cloth on the knickerbockers An Oxford suit, the coat of which fastens with one button on the chest is made in a new herringbone tweed, the knickerbockers being finished with bands of the same material and fastening with two buttons. LECTURE OS GEORGE WASBiyGTOK. A large number of the Daughters of the Cincinnati met yesterday at Delmonico's to hear William Webster Ellsworth talk on "The Personal George Washington." Mr. Ellsworth Illustrated his lecture by numerous lantern slide pictures of letters, manuscripts, portraits and prints, many of which are little known, because they are private property and have never been published.

The sentimental side of President Washington's character was amusingly shown by autograph poems and letters addressed to girl friends while he was a young man. "It Is sad to record that the poetry was extremely poor said the lecturer. One example was an unfinished uorostlc to Prances Alexander, his muse having become exhausted when he had gone no further than "Alexa." Other manuscripts and pictures shown were the commlsFion at his half brother. Laurence Washington, from whom the General Inherited Mount the hou-e in which Mary Washington lived in Fredericksburg which is still standing; letters from Mary Washington, which abound In original spelling, and quaint prints of people and pTaces.

MR. OGDEN CONSIDER 3 HIS REMARKS UNWORTHY OF NOTICE. The members of the party organized by Robert Ogden which went South to attend the annual Southern Educational Conference, held this year at Winston. C. and to study the general problem of Southern education, returned to this city yesterday.

They were much surprised on their arrival here to read an Interview credited to Governor Candler of Georgia, expressing his antagonism to the men and women of the party, and his belief that their work would be of no benefit to the South. Governor Candler declined to attend a meeting: of the conference because, he is quoted as saying. "I did not purpose to give official sanction to their scheme." When Mr. Ogden was seen yesterday he said that the members of the party had been deeply interested in the educational work tn the South, had looked over the field carefully, and were much impressed by what they had seen. Referring to the remarks of Governor Candler, Mr.

Ogcien said: I can hardly believe that Governor Candler made the remarks attributed to him. If he did they are unworthy of notice. The members of party wore honest, earnest and helpful people, went South for the purpose of attending the anniversary exercises of Hampton Institute, the educational conference and the dedication of the buildings at Tuskegee. I will not say anything to anybody about the alleged remarks of the Governor cf Georgia. A member of fhe party with Mr.

Ogden said yesterday: I am convinced that Governor Candler's remarks were partly due to misconception of the desires of the party, and partly due to political buncombe. We did not go there to give Instruction or tell Southern people what to do. What Interests so vast a section of the country Interests the whole country. We went to listen and learn, and to help if we could. The criticism of way money Is given by Northern men to help the negroes is.

I think, due to misinformation and warped Judgment. I only know that Dr. Curry, agent of the Peabody fund, who directs when and where the money shall be expended, is everywhere in the South, by both whites and blacks, received with the greatest kindness and Is loved by aIL He Is exceptionally popular.
