Clean shaving is in high favor among our troops-- because it is sanitary--because it makes the dressing of face wounds easier--hut most of all because of its bracing effect.

The crowds of Gothamites and visitors to New York who go to see the wonderful programs put on each year testify to the popularity of this Big Show. Charles Dillingham is the Manager. Since our last visit the management has offered a new Hippodrome to the amusement world, and we are told that during its first season under this new regime the Hippodrome enjoyed a period of unprecented popularity. Its record of attendance for last year surpasses that of -any other place of amusement ever known, and its clientele clientele during that period became the people.of the entire country. Mr. Dillingham Dillingham will endeavor to carry on the same general policy, realizing that with the enormous capacity of the Hippodrome, "the biggest show in the world at the lowest prices" meets the demand of the great sight-seeing and fun-loving public. It may interest our readers to know that the Hippodrome has 5,697 seats and 400 carpenters, property men, electricians, costumers, grooms, engineers, engineers, dressers and stage hands are required to operate a Hipp idrome spectacle. The company proper, including including chorus and ballet, this year numbers betwéen five and six hundred, hundred, and 125 people are employed in the auditorium proper, as doormen, ticket-takers, ushers and other attendants. attendants. This makes over a thousand persons actively engaged at every performance performance given in the Hippodrome. Another reason why this playhouse is sb popular is that unfailing courtesy and'cheerful attention to the pleasure and-.comfort of all patrons is the keynote keynote of service requirèd, and as one means to this end, military discipline has been.introduced, and the ushers, guides and all attendants are uniformed uniformed and organized as a military body, thoroughly drilled and with a full complement complement of officers. It is the aim of the management to maintain for the Hippodrome a place worthy of its beauty and its magnitude as a national _ ouse :ln the world, the inspiring music, the manmouth minstrels-^400 of them, the elegant costumes of the ladies, the tableau and the color effects are beyond the powers of the writer to describe.

By VioIettéKniCkérbocker, New York. | "Slum Angels" they call us, I might say, everybody calls us, in 1 the slums, 1 for we càre for-all who need our care, ' "Whether Jew, Catholic or Protestant. About ten years ago I ; became interested, interested, in slum work. I was then a school girl,, and many were the boxes ' eff little clôthès that I sent to the 1 shims ' with the ' help of two or three of my school mates. ' Two years ago, while in New York, I called at the Salvation Army Headquarters Headquarters to see a friend who is a stenographer there. A little two- year-old girl had Just' been' brought in. She sat in one of the. big office chairs, suclva poor miserable little face for a baby, and both her feet Were baiidag- ed to her knees. This is the tale the Salvationist told Who had brought her: She had a mother and a brutal, drunkard father, there were four other little brothers and sisters, but this little one seepied to be the odd one, there Was ho love left for her. She/had no care, she found a bed where she could. Two years old, think of it! It was bitter cold weather at this time, and she ; had been sleeping sleeping on a pile of rags in an outside closet, arid her little feet and fingers had ; been frozen. The riiothër gave her readily to the Salvationist to keep, and so here she sat among strange • friends, but real. This summer at our "Home" in Spring Valley, a little way out in the country, near New York, she stood up for us to take a "snap shot." A dear little thing in a white slip, her arms full of field daisies. Well cared for, arid happy irideed. Perhaps this incident is what induced induced me to take up the slum work, to become an officer by taking a course of training, instead of going on as a soldier, and giving only a little of my time now and then. As an officer we leave everything to go and live in the slums and get along with as little as possible, just as the people people do that we want to help. We have found that this is the only way in which we can win their confidence. The slum work is a part of the Salvation Salvation Army, but it is the smallest branch and is found only in large cities, is not often heard,of, for we have no time to waste in writing it up, and no one but a slummer understands understands it well .enough to write of it. If one is sympathetic then the work is very wearying. It is a ceaseless grind. "A "Slummer" seldom lives to be over fifty years of age, but -from our work we get satisfaction and that is everything. Connected with nearly all our relief posts, now we have Day Nurseries, where the poor mother, or perhaps a father, may leave his motherless babies babies while he goes tç his labor, calling calling for them each night at six or later. What wouldVsdine of these people people do if it were not for our nursery!

Made in Canada ASoim and helpless. Just before Easter last year, one of my Sisters was visiting her poor cases and trying to decide which ones should have the few lillies which the churches sent to us after Sunday was past. She stumbled down the outside stair into a dark, damp old cellar where she had never been before. Hearing a moan in a far corner she felt her way along the wall to a pile of straw where lay an old white-haired woman whom we had often noticed on a certain street corner corner offering matches to the passers- by. She was all crippled up with rheumatism, rheumatism, hot being able to get out for several days past with her matches, us i her last cent was gone; there was no with no underwear to speak of.

It is believed that she ended her life in the river, for we never found a trace Of her. Little Katherine Katherine had been neglected for so long that her little face was covered with sores, but with good care she has grown to be a bright and pretty little girl; she is now about five years old (we do not know her exact age). She has always lived at the nursery, until last fall she was adopted into a good family in New York.

She stopped long enough to make the old" lady comfortable as possible, possible, order a bit of coal at the corner and make a fire. As she left she call-- ed out, "Good-night; mother, I will bring you something good to-morrow and an Easter lily." "Lord bless ye, lady,"--we always hear from these old people. Next morning when she went back with her full basket she found the old lady painfully crawling along and waiting upon another who - was stretched out on her bed of straw. A woman who seemed about her own age. When asked who it was she replied replied that she did not know, only that she had fallen on'the ^cellar railing and almost against her door--and from hunger! In a City of Plenty! She had just fed to her the remains of the loaf left the night béfore. Was not this real charity ? In my mind it was beantiful. Would you have given the last piece of bread to a stranger, not being- sure of where the next was to come from! One of our very special cases--a dear, crippled old lady, who has just lately gone to heaven--sat for many years by the window in a back room, looking .into the dirty court of a rear house. She was so pleased when a stray sun beam came in at a certain hour some afternoons, and would wait patiently for it. A more patient old soul I have never seen;, she was always always alone with Tommy, fhe'eat, who always seemed to understand when her poor old body was aching badly. She has told me how Tommy has rubbed rubbed his head against her deformed and swollen wrists and sing his loudest. loudest. Her only support was a daughter daughter who worked, in a flour mill and earned just enough to keep the one: back room. I carried this old lady her dinner every day while Ï was in New York. Being fond of cats, thëir cries of /pain always attracted iriy attention, arid following one night last summer /vvhàt wè supposëd to be the cry of a cat to an old ash Can,'found instead a new born babe--but that is "nothing new, only an old story. I am not able even now to speak of the /first time I came in contact with death without getting cold all over. I see as plainly just now, as then, a small room, dark as usual--but oh! such foul air! , A bed in one corner, composed of a door, each end on a chair, a dirty straw-filled tick and filthy quilt, a middle-aged woman half sat up on it, or in it, staring at me out of glassy eyes, her breast eaten eaten out by cancer. I said, "Good morning, morning, I have brought you some hot soup and bread," but she never moved her eyes, only mumbled, "I am dying/I'm dying, I'm dying." Do you wonder that I dropped my pail and bundle and ran through the streets and cut through alley-ways home as quickly as I could. I was crying so I ; could hardly tell about it. The poor thing had Iain there for months with no physical relief--just living on what was sent in to her by kind neighbors in the building, and poor tenement people are kind when they can be. She died that evening and is better off, times I have had a little boy take hold of my coat sleeve arid say, "Say, Sister, Sister, eân't you get my pa a job ? There's nothing more to eat at our house," and so I take his street arid number and go to his home with bread.
