The Hev. Father ICdward J. Lyng,

for its purpose the spiritual and moral
uplift of all the Italian children in
Philadelphia.' The work is centered in
tho so-called Italian district, bounded

teenth street and the Delaware river.
T-wo clubhouses have been established
under the direction of the society. They
are the Madonna House, 814 South
Tenth street, and L'Aussunta House,
1431 South Tenth street.
The Italian children are trained in
the methods of taking care of them
selves physically and mentally. More
than 3000 children and grownups at
tend tho weekly .entertainments given
at the two clubhouses. Baseball, bas
ketball and other snorts are partici
pated in by both boys and girls. The
HtUo foreigners are taugnt tne r.ngusn
language by sisters and by members of
the laity who dev6tc a night or nights
every week to the class of instruction.

Men Pulled From Underworld
Flock to Inasmuch Mission,
Where Founder Lies Dead
HE ONCE WAS AN OUTCAST
They were plain men who stopped
at tho InaBinuch Mission this morning,
men with hard eyes and lined faces, but
with expressions changed by a great
love nnd sorrow.
Upstairs lay the body of the mission's
founder, George Long, their friend, and
the greatest helper of "the other fel
low" this city has ever known.
These men bore the marks of years of
dissipation and shame, but In the steady
look of their eyes and the set of the face
there was the new light that George
Long had brought into their lives. They
had stopped at the Mission because
they wanted to do some last little thing
for the man they loved or because,
though they knew there was nothing
they could do, they felt that his pres
ence must linger about the place that
he had built with his hands and heart.
"I've lost the best friend I had in
this world," said a middle-aged man,
whose face showed in every Hue the
tight he had made for a new btart in
life.
Saved by Man He Loved
"We all. loved George Long, and his
death hits us harder than we ever
thought anything could," he went on.
"Ho took me out of the gutter nnd
sent me back to my wife and kids, and
through him I've been able to stay there
ever since."
When (Jeorge Long s funeral is held
from tho chapel of the Inasmuch Mis
sion there will be guthered thousands
of the highest and lowest of the clt.v.
The men and women of the street, of
the old "Hell's Half Acre," those whom
he has helped to make good citizens of
their derelict selves, and the great men
of the city whose confidence and love he
shared in his work, will bring their last
measure of love for the leader of the
sinful nnd the hopeless. There will be
no caste ut that service.
Death followed a brenkdown after a
two weeks' campaign in the James
Evans Memorial Presbyterian Church,
Broad street nnd Moyamensing avenue.
After his success with, the Inasmuch
Mission Mr. Long had taken part In
numerous church campaigns.
The South Philadelphia campaign
closed two weeks ago yesterday, and
Mr. Long collapsed almost immediately.
He seemed to rally toward the end of
last week, and on Saturday night Dr.
K. Q. Thornton, of Jefferson Hospital,
who was attending him, pronounced the
patient out of danger. At midnight,
however, he had a relapse.
Mrs. Kdna Long, his wife, who us-
sisted him in his mission work nnd in
every evnngelistie campaign, and his
brother, William H. Long, were at the
bedside when tho mission lender passed
away. Three sisters also survive him,
Mrs. Wallace Hard and Mrs. Charles
Marsellus. of Rochester. N. Y., and
Mrs. William Works, of Milwaukee.
Ills Remarkable Career
Formerly the companion of thieves
and drug fiends, Mr. Long was con
verted at the Galilee Mission, Vine and
Darien streets, and after establishing
the Inasmuch Mission became the friend
and associate of many of Philadelphia's
leading financiers and business men.

Drexel Blddio were types of many
widely known influential men who were
proud to call Georgo Long their friend.
A son of n Rochester police official,
Mr. Long used to say he got ft wrong
start before ho could walk, as often be
was permitted to stick his baby fingers
in a can of beer which his father placed
on the floor beside his chair. lie de
veloped into a thoroughly bad boy mid
Ills escapades forced him1 to lenve Ro
chester rather suddenly. A bad career
followed, in which he figured as ama
teur pugilist, race-track tout and finally
ns a full-fledged crook.
Deserted by PTlentb
When Long became n drug addict he
was turned out by tho "high-class"
crooks with whom he was associating in
New York, and in a short time landed
In tho gutter. Friendless and home
less, a miserable, nerv-wrcrked wretch,
he "took the road," traveling on the
rods under freight trains from New
York to Chicago nnd bnck ngaln. He
associated with the worst men in Chi
cago and in New York he lived for weeks
in the underground dens in Chinatown.
About twelve yenrs ago Long was re
leased from the Hudson county jail in
New Jersey on recommendation of the
prison physician, who said he hod only
a few weeks to live. A physical wreck,
he dragged himself to this city, wMere
he slept in the back room of a low place
on Callowhtll street. He would spend
;iu hour every night on Market street,
where he obtained enough money by
begging to get n supply of cocaine.
Finallv the Callowlilll street bar
tender kicked him Into the street, tell
ing him to "make a hole in the river."
Long wandered down Vine street, heard
the singing In the Galilee Mission and
went in. A few nights later he was
converted, and from that hour, he said,
he never had any craving for liquor or
drugs.
A little later at the Jerry McAuley
.Mission, in New York, Long met Miss
Ktlnu Faulkner, a visitor, nnd on 'the
first night he saw her ho whispered to
'It "middy," "I'm going to innrry that
girl." Ills "buddy" stared in surprise
and ejaculated, unsympntlietlcally,
"You've been taking hop again."
Mr. Long made good on his predic
tion, and or. December fi, 11100. lie mar
ried Miss Faulkner In SI. Andrew's
Fpiseopal Church, Eighth and Spruce
streets.
