Goorgo S. Kimball, Whoso Broad
Philanthropic Spirit Has Shown
Its Influonco in Many Ways in
This Community Tho Musical and
Banquet at Forn Hall The Quests.
On Thursday night, In the dining
room at Tern Hull, h half hundred men
gathered about the table as the guests
of George S. Kimball, of this city, to
partake of the warm-hearted hospi
tality of this citizen, whose broad and
philanthropic spirit has manifested Its
benevolent and uplifting influence In
this community In numerous ways
since his residence hero.
The banquet was fraught with many
delightful Incidents. It was certainly
n feast of good things, but the guests
at the banquet were not the only ones
who participated In tho evening's en
tertainment. Mr. Kimball arranged
for a muslcale, which was conducted
In the hotel parlor of Kern Hall, to
which the hotel guests and the cot
tagers at the lake were heartily wel
comed. This part of the evening's piogtamme
was of a high order. The numbers
were: Tilo. "O, Hear Me!" (Danks),
Mrs. Hadcock. Mrs. F. E. Burr. Mr.
Hockenberry; tenor solo, "Tho Sailor's
Grave, (Arthur Sullivan), W. D.
Evans; duct. "When Life Is Brightest."
(Pinsutl). Mrs. Hadcock. Mrs. Burr;
roprano solo, selected, Miss Sharpless;
piano solo, Staccatto Etude, (Rubin
stein). Mr. Russell; duet, "Merry Birds
of Spring." C. A. White), Mrs.
Hadcock. Mr. Evans; bass solo, "Song
of Hybrias, tho Cretan," (Elliott), Mr.
Hockenberry; soprano solo, selected,
Mrs. Hadcock; quartette. "Good Night,
Beloved," (Pinsutl). Mrs. Hadcock,
Mrs. Burr, Mr. Evans, Mr. Hocken
berry. Of these, the etude by Rubinstein, by
Mr. Russell, of the Syracuse univer
sity, found highest favor, his effort
being pronounced ns brilliant by the
appreciative listeners. There were en
cores also, to the numbers by Mr.
Evans and Mr. Hockenberry. The ac
companist was John Evans, who Is a
pupil at the Boston Consenntory of
Music.
The banquet followed In the dining
hall. The guests were tho agents of
the Chase & Sanborn company in this
city, and the Carbondale members of
the Lackawanna bar.
When the "Key Wests" were kindled
and the time for the after-dinner talk
ing arrived, Mr. Kimball introduced
Hon. S. S. Jones as toastmaster, in
place of Hon. J. J. O'Neill, who could
not attend. Mr. Jones was an exem
plary presiding officer. His happy sal
lies and bis flushes of wit and humor
gave added spirit to tho occasion.
Mr. Jones was also among the toast
responses. His subject was "Modern
Philanthropy," to which ho nddressed
himself with characteristic vigor and
force, his talk forming quite an after
dlscusslon among tho guests.
Mr. Jones said:
Just for a few moments, suppose wo
rtlscuFS the plain, unadulterated philan
thropy, without any furbelows or trim
mings. First. It is an important element In
the composition of man. It has Its
origin In the great big heart of the real
man. It springs from a love of man
kind and Is forced to fruition by a de
sire to do good to our fellow -man. The
philanthropist, ancient or modern, is
the man. who realizes that he is his
brother's keeper; that he has no right
to live for himself alone; that it is part
of his mission, of his life-work to as
sist, as he has opportunity, those who
are in need. Included In this must be
a determination to look for opportun
ities. Philanthropy includes benevo
lence, kindness of naturo and kindly
disposition.
Of the three virtues quoted in Holy
Writ. Faith. Hope and Charity, the last
named of these Is only another name
for philanthropy. It Is greatest because
it includes love of all mankind. It is
powerful hecause it combines spirit and
action. Men with the true philanthropic
spirit gladly provide practical helps,
and open a way to higher and a better
life for those who would otherwise drift
into the maelstrom of crime, poverty
and helplessness. It Is this spirit of
philanthropy that is making the world
better. tha,t provides; and that in a
generous way makes ironies for the
friendless, hospitals for tho sick; the
spirit that has worked reforms in tho
penal Institutions, in the prisons of our
land, and provides the means for te
Uased convicts to lead better lives.
Philanthropy builds churches, schools
of learning, art galleries and endows
Institutions whose doors are ever open
to' the earnest fellow who Is thirsting
for knowledge and for Information
along any line.
As a rule, we associate the million
aire, the possessor of .unlimited means,
the man who controls untold wealth
With the portabilities for philanthropic
spirit and phllantluoplc work. Ordln
irlly. It Joes not seem possible to sep
arate these two conditions, and yet, he
It knqwn to .all men that He" who was
(he-true' exponent of the highest, type of
philanthropy was a homeless wandeier,
the man of men who knew not whete
;o Uy his head, but Ho was the teacher
if tttnie' prnclples, the leader In the
jreateat departure from old-time meth
via of teaching. He held tip in the
strong light of fair play the rights nf
ndlvlduals. He taught men that In the
administration of Justice the claims of
the men on trial should receive full
consideration.
Know, then, that tho work of the
philanthropist Is not confined to tho
distribution of individual wealth, and
that he who lives to exert an Influence
for tight, who btrivea earnestly to
to Indulge In nn millionaire rot. Mr
I'arnegle is doing n great work for
Humanity. It is along Carnegie lines,
however. His princely gifts to some
sections In Scotland have been severely
criticized, nnd In this country his offer
to build libraries under certain condi
tions strikes most of the people as a
popular scheme. Some paragraph writer
started tho novs Item that a town plot,
the prospective county scat of air Ari
zona shire, hns accepted the Carnegie
offer, although there are only three
buildings In sight nnd two of these
dugout.. I do not believe tho story. I
think that newspaper scribe Is a liar.
This man, Rogers, made nil of his rela
tives angry and set the whole world
talking about his liberal gifts to art. It
transpires that much of this was the
creation of a mind that was not well
balanced. I rather like the Plilladol
phlan who endowed with two millions
of dollnrs an Institution for tho cuio
taklng of Indigent leacheis.
Now, take this man, Mr. Spring, of
the MeCormack Reaper company, who
died In Chicago on Tuesday. He made
up bis mind years ago that whcn a
man had accumulated $2:0,000 it was
all he needed, nnd that, so far as ho
was concerned, he would give nil that
he received above that amount to char
ity. His business prospered; his in
come Increased, but he kept bis pledge
and fulfilled his promise to the letter.
The world scarcely beard of him. Tho
people and Institutions that were re
cipients of Iris bounty weie unknown.
He did not work the newspaper racket.
Ho was not that kind of a giver, but
ho was the philanthropist, and one of
the best of the modern kind.
There la no denying the fat I that
there Is much of the fad In much of
the so-called modern philanthropy, the
kind that gives to the princely donom
newspaper notoriety nnd tluit excites
the wonder of the people for a brief
period, but the philanthropist whose
good deeds ne'er icaclr the newspaper
columns, who live and die In compara
tively obscurity, outnumber by far the
men who become famous In cold type
eulogy. For instance:
Thorn was Diwui; that is, plain John
Brown,
With his wrinkled face, that contained
not a trace
OT comeliness or special grace.
He never married, be grubbed on his
little patch.
Supported his parents until they died,
and then he lived "old bach,"
The neighbors had some suspicions they
could not ptnve.
For years had an unknown man dis
tributed gifts to the poor irr town
On a sort of Santa (iaus plan.
If the worthy old widow was in need
of wood,
Some night would that ood bo left.
There as garden tiuck left
In the barns of those who, by mishap,
the drought bereft.
Disastrous Attempt of Fourteen-Year-Old
Ernest Sampson to Jump
on an Ontario and Western Rail
road Train Both Logs Cut Off Be
low the Knees The Boy May Die.
Ernest Sampson, fourteen-year-old
,son of Klwyn Sampson, and who lived
witit iris step-fatner, Andrew stocKwcrr.
on Cherry avenue, just below Belmont
street, was run over and seriously in
jured by an Ontario nnd Western coal
trnln about 1.30 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Both legs were crushed below
the knees and were nil but severed.
When the boy was taken to Emergency
hospital, the sutgeons gravely shook
'their heads and -cemed apprehensive
of his chances of surviving the terrible
shock he received,
Sampson's homo Is with his step
father, Stockwell, on Cherry avenue,
his father and mother having been sep
arated, tho latter re-marrying. Since
tire summer vacation opened, Sampson,
together with n number of lads from
the neighborhood of his home, have
made It a practice to jump on Ontario
nnd Western coal tialns nnd ride away
up Into New York state. On Tuesday
of this week, he made such a trip, go
ing beyond Sidney, N. Y., nnd did not
leturn until yesterday forenoon. A few
hours after teaching this city, Samp
son made up his mind to take another
triii, unci icailliy Joined a party or a
lnrlf-dozeir of his companions, who
were eager for the experience nnd ad
venture from which he had Just re
turned. The lads decided to board the
coal train which is due hero about 1.30
in the itftet noon. They selected, as the
place to board the train, the end of tho
trestllng, which Is Just below Maple
wood cctuetor., for the reason that the
trains nte compelled to slacken their
speed while going oer the trcstlework.
The boys lined up for the jump, nnd nil
of them were successful but Snnrpson.
He failed to get a footing! his legs
srolnc- under nnd a number of the cars
f passing over his lower limbs. The rest
of the crowd must not have known of
their comrade's fate, for they continued
orr the train. The trainmen were also
probably ignorant of what happened,
for the train continued on its way. A
man who was walking along the trncks,
and workmen in the Delaware nnd
Hudson shops, witnessed Sampson's
going under the wheels, and hastened
to his aid. He wn placed on a sti etcher
and later taken In the ambulance to
Emergency hospital.
About two weeks ago Sampson arrd
three other boys were taken before Al
derman Delavan by Constable Gllby
for riding on Ontario and Western
trains, nnd were severely reprimanded
by the alderman.
Sampson's mother has not seen him
since he went away Tuesday on his
New York state trip, for she was from
home yesterday, when he came back.

GOOD POPULAR SONGS SCARCE.
Gieat Hits Few Nowadays, Although
Mublc Publishers Aie Hustling.
From the ClcifUnd Plain ficjlcr.
"It Is singular, but true," said a
music publisher, "that thcie are ery
few big hits In popular Mingo now a
days, that Is. songs that have reached
the mlllon mark in sales. siKh as
'After the Ball.' 'Annie Rooney,' 'Daisy
Bell,' 'Down Went McGlnty," 'Two
Lltlc Gills in Blue' and 'Comrades,'
Many bongs published since then hae
hecn very popular, to be sure, but
they cannot be compnied with the old
tlrueis. "Marry dealer have asked me the
cause of the, hut thus far I have been
'unable to explain It satisfactorily. It
Is all the stranger when you lake Into
consideration the fact th.it theie nre
mm e slngeis and better facilities for
pushing songs tharr In former yeais.
"Years ago a good song would force
Itself upon the public. At pieent n
publisher has to humor the singeis and
do a lot of hustling. Some of the top
llneis requite pay to sing songs. In
tiro old days they Mere only loo glad
to get a good ballad. To cater to
tlm whims of the slngerfi n publisher
must have at least thiee pianos in hw
establishment, employ expert players
Hiid vocalists to teach the songs, print
piofchslonal cards and do a thousand
other things. You see the competition
Is kecu, and if you should hurt the
feelings of any singer, especially a man
or woman of reputation, you will hao
consldeiable trouble In making your
songs popular,
"Publlshcib hno to take a lot of
chances, too. For Instance, to popu
latl.e h. song you must have slides
made tor steroptUon viiows. This costs
quite a sum. one publisher ppent $4M
to take plctuies for a set of slides for
the song 'Sing Again That Sweet Re
fialn.' He had to employ h tioupe nf
coloied minstrels, a band and a hall.
Foitunately the song made money and
he did not lose anything. Theie an
other things to contend with, too sin h
as law suits, etc. There was a dispute
over the owneishlp of ono song, for
Instance. After fighting In the courts
for some time one of thp tlims con

the suit."
