Eight hundred needy little ones. A city
overflowing with peace, prosperity and
good things, yet that many helpless Home
stead mites may beg and importune Santa
Clans in rain unless the kindly give of
their plenty to those that lack.
"With these holidays bringing that day of
peace and cood will to men, a pitifnl ap
peal comes from Homestead, telling of what
is needed there to complete the happiness
of many little ones who have been called
upon to face a bitter season of want, with
not one ray of light to illumine a Christmas
Day that the rest of tbe world looks for
ward to with anticipations of pleasure and
thanksgiving certain to be realized.
The plea of The Dispatch for a mite
from those blessed with plenty is meeting
with prompt and generous response, but
not enough money has yet been contrib
uted to make all these children happy.
Auditwonldbeafailure were even one child
to be disappointed and all the rest supplied.
These children are in need of many things,
bat especially are they in need of what
goes to brighten that annual event looked
ford to with anticipation, and backward to
with pleasure a Merry Christmas.
An Eagerly Looked-For Event.
The distribution of toys and other little
pleasures that go far toward making a child's
life happy will take place at Homestead
Saturday afternoon next, and a few hundred
more dollars are required to make the occa
sion what it should be. There are many
who have and are willing to give, and no op
portunity has ever been offered where snch
a little will go such a great way, and for
every dollar given a thousand will be re
ceived in return in smiles, gratitude and
perhaps tears of joy from the many little
ones.
The "Washington Post, merely by repub
lishing the pathetic letters which appeared
in The Dispatch, has started a similar
fnnd which has met with some response. It
devolves, however, upon Pittsburg to take
care of her own.
The following letter was forwarded to
The DisrATCH by the Superintendent of
the Second ward school, Homestead:
Superintendent of Second Ward School, Home
stead, Pa,
Dear Sie This afternoon I read In The
Pittsburg Dispatch of December 14 an arti
cle from "Chick" in which the writer de
scribes a Tisit to your school, and copies
specimens of letters written by the children
to Santa Claus asking for needed clothing at
Christmas time. I write to you to know
more of tbe particulars and in what form
- help is to be given.
Promise of a Generous Gift.
The time is very snort In whloh to wotTE,
and our citv has been canvassed and recan
vassed in the interests or other worthy ob
jects, yet I hope to send you a mtte from
those who love children and delight in their
joy, especially at the glad Christmas time.
I have thought that to send a check for a
certain amount and a box of such things as
seem most needed mleut be best sent to vou.
as ou can learn the needs of each and sup
ply them to the best advantage. Would a box
of clotlilnz new and old together be ac
ceptable, and to whom (ir acceptable) shall
it lie sent? I only wish this had come tome
sooner, but 1 will do all I can in the few days
left us. If you can have an answer reach
me by Saturday I could announce the result
to our little ciicle of Christian scientists on
fcnnday mornlnir and get them to help me
solicit. Then if later in tbe week following
j on can send more definite information as
to individual needs it mizbt help us. I do
not promise any lame sum and can only
k ork and trust, knowing that, whether great
or small, it will do Its good work and make
somo little hearts glad that might otherwise
be sadly disappointed. Oh, that I had the
control of a few hundreds of the money use
lessly spent at this time. Our little adopted
babv, who came to live with us on the first
Uay" of this year, and for whom we were
plxnning several pleasant surprises, when
told or these little ones, gladly consented
for the money to so to those needing It so
much worse, and my husband and 1 are too
linnpy to have any need ot triftsot love from
each other. Honing to receive an immediate
leply, with as lull inlormation as can be
given, I am, respectfully.

Diamond is cutting diamond in the many

The Perkins Union Detective Agency, of
Pittsburg, is employed by the defense and
its men and the Pinkertons are coming to
gether quite often these days in the most
unexpected ways.
Gilbert B. Perkins, Superintendent of
the agency, is rather uncommunicative on
the subject. Yesterday he said: "It (is
true we have been doing a little work for
the Homesteaders. It consisted chiefly of
subpecnaing witnesses. I cannot say that
we have entered very deeply into the
work. "We are here to do business, of
course, and those who have money can se
cure our services."
For the past ten months there has been
a steady and quiet warfare carried on be
tween the two agencies. A Perkins man is
continually on the track of one of Pinker
ton's men and vice versa. Both Bides
think that the other does not know of it.
If a Perkins man strikes a lead, a detective
of the opposition forces gets on to it pretty
nearly as soon.
Playing King Around the Itosey.
Everybody connected with the legal de
partment of the Carnegie Company is
watched closely, and often after they talk
to a stranger a Perkins irmn seeks an inter
view with the same individual. Both sides
are continually playing tricks on the other
bv dropping wrong tips, which cannot be
discovered until they are worked out.
Hugh F. Dempsey, Robert Beatty. Pat
rick Gallagher and J. M. Davidson all had
true bills found against them by the grand
jury for the poisoning of the non-union
men at Homestead. There arc four counts
against each man. Two each charging them
with felonious assault anil two each for ag
gravated assault and battery. Tbe jury
based its findings on the injury done to
William K. Griffiths. The bill also adds
that the defendants were guilty of admin
istering poison to many others, the names
of whom are unknown.
There were only four witnesses before the
jury. These were Drs. A. P. Fogteman,
W." H. McGeary and A. M. Barton, oi
Homestead, and Dr. D. G. Foster, of Craf
ton. They told of the number of cases they
had attended, and all but Dr. Faster had
administered to nearly 200 patients each.
A. H. Ames, H. C Prick's stenographer,
was before the jury. He was called to
identify Gallagher's confession, which
was offered as evidence. Gal
lagher and Davidson were held
in readiness to testify, but they were not
needed. A number o'f others were in the
waiting-room and it was considerable of a
surprise when it was found their evidence
was not to be used. The testimony of the
physicians is said to have been very strong.
Thirty-Two Said to Have Died.
It was stated on good authority yesterday
that 32 deaths was a verv low estimate for
the number ot people who have died from
poison. The number of those who hare
been sick at Homestead is placed at 2,000.
No more arrests are to be made for sev
eral days. It was learned yesterday that a
number of people would be swooped in
within the next ten days. The list holds
many surprises, bearing the names of sev
eral druggists and physicians. It is also
said that several restaurant-keepers will be
included, as well as the proprietors of sev
eral Homestead saloons. Poisoned beer and
whisky it is said have been sold to the non
District Attorney Burleigh had a long I
conierence witn ur. doorman, oi Home
stead, yesterday. Neither gentleman had
anything to say about the interview.
Coroner McDowell developed nothinc
new yesterday. He and his assistants are
constantly at work on the cases. He had a
long interview with the Court, and a plan
was arranged for his work. He does not
care to say what was agreed upon at the
conference, but gives the impression that
he is to sift every supposed case of poison
ing to the bottom.
A FALSE INTERPRETER.
He Gets a Man Into Jail for a Crime of
Which He Was Himself Accused
Warden McAleese Discovers the Scheme
The Grand Jury Acts Promptly.
Beta, an Italian, was placed in jail last
night on a commitment issued by Alder
man McMasters. He is charged with a
serious' affense by Winsenza Colon), an
Italian also, the lather of Bosanna "Win
senza, a-16-year-old girl who lives at
Chartiers. Both the father and his daugh
ter were released from the jail last week,
after a lengthy confinement brought about
by Bela, who misrepresented certain facts
to a squire at Chartiers.
More than two months ago the father
went before the 'squire for the purpose of
making an information against Bela. The
latter kindly volunteered to act as inter,
prater, at Coloni could not speak or under
stand English. The interpreter so stated
the case that Coloni himself was made to
appear as the offender, and much to his
mystification he was sent to jail, charged
with committing a crime against his daugh
ter. He was kept in confinement awaiting
trial, and two weeks ago was joined by his
daughter. The 'squire was notified she was
about to leave the vicinity of Chartiers, and
fearing she would not appear as a witness
at the trial he had her arrested and sent to
jail. i
She had been there one week when "War
den McAleese got an inkling of the true
state of affairs and sent tor an interpreter,
who soon learned from the girl the story ot
how she had been deceived by Bela, who
nan Dotn her lather and herself put in jail.
When asked if she did not accuse her lather
she at once said that Bela was the offender.
She was very much surprised to hear her
father u as held ft the offense and cried
pitifully when she Iearued of it.
Superintendent Dorente, of the Anti
Cruelty Society, was notified of the circum
stances and he becan an investigation. In
tbe meantime the cavs of Coloni came be
fore the grand jury, and on the presentation
of the facts the lather and girl regained
their liberty and the bill was ignored.
Coloni is 65 years old and his daughter 16.
Superintendent Dorente made information
against Bela before Alderman McMasters,
and he was held for a hearing next
Tuesday.
DEFINING A BILLET
EVANGELIZING ALASKA.
Mahoning and Shenango People Kicking
Against Local Hates.
The Pittsburg, Youngstown and Cleve
land freight committees are visiting this
city and Wheeling with a view of classify
ing billets. On Tuesday they interviewed
the managers of Jones & Laughlin, Dil
worth, Porter & Co., Keystone Boiling
Mill and Duquesne Steel Works. Yester
ciav thev SDent in Wheeling and to.dav
oi Uthey will go to Youngstown.
As usual the iron men in the Mahoning
and Shenango Valleys have been kicking.
They claim that Pittsburg men are ship
ping all sorts of manufactured articles as
billets, thereby securing a low rate and a
big advantage over the valley people. To
investigate the complaint and define what
is a billet is the object of the tour. The
agents have gathered a mass of opinions,
none of whicn agree, of course, and when
they get through With Youngstown will
take tbe subject under advisement and re
classify this product The trouble is to
distinguish between finished and unfin
ished articles. The iudications are that
the new classification, it made, will not
benefit the local manufacturers.
Interesting Statements Made at the Meet
ing of the Woman's Home Missionary
Society or the Pittsburg and Allegheny
Presbyteries The Trials or Mission
aries. The Woman's Home Missionary Society
of the Pittsburg and Allegheny Presby
teries held its regular quarterly meeting in
the Second Presbyterian Church, on Penn
avenue, yesterday. Over 200 delegates,
representing 33 societies, were present.
Mrs. Coulter, who has spent several months
in tbe South visiting the freedmen there,
and having during that time visited 18
schools opened bv the society, made an
interesting address in which she said that
the society's work in tbe South has been
very successfully carried on. The Treasur
er's report shows an advance of more
than $1,000 over the receipts of the pre
ceding quarter.
Mrs. T. H. Bobinson read a paper on a
"Trip to Alaska," which she and her hus
band had taken during the past summer.
She described in very graphic language the
physical features of the country as well as
the manners and customs of the people.
Mrs. W. C Devore, a teacher for three
years in the ' mission school at Sitka,
Alaska, told of the struggles of the mis
sionaries in that frozen land, and the eager
ness with which many ot the natives grasp
after the religious light and knowledge as
revealed to them by the missionaries. She
recited many instances of-Alaskan boys and
girls being tnrned from crude savages into
bright, intelligent Christian men and women
through the efforts of the mission schools, and
implored the society to contribute liberally
to the fund being raised to carry on these
schools.

Secretary Lovejoy Denies That Workmen
Are to Be Discharged.
Some excitement was created among the
people at Homestead yesterday over the
report that all the men at tbe mills were to
be discharged January 1. It was Btated
notices to that effect had been posted, and
the unemployed men were jubilant
Secretary F. T. F. Lovejoy, of the Car
negie Company, was seen last night, and
said the rumor was silly. The story; he
thought, came from the fact that several
departments were about closing down lor
the annual repairs, thus laying off some of
the tonnage men. Only incompetents, he
said, had ever been dropped from the pay
rolls, and they intended keeping all good
men.
