Tha Duchess of Maryborough Lay in t; the Cornerstone of the New Wing
of West Ham Hospital, London, Which Will Be Paid For With
American Dollars.
(Jowraal Special Berries.)
London. Aug. 21. Whrvr In Lon
don great misery exists, there one gen
erally finds the Duchess of Marlborough
at work. The premier American duch
ess and former Consuelo Vanderbllt Is
not the Lady Bountiful of any particu
lar district. She sires and she helps
where she learns her money and be
nerolences are needed, that Is all.
Of late the duchess has been a fre
quent visitor to the squalid regions of
West Ham. The other day she laid
the foundation stone of the new wing
of a big hospital there, tae West Ham
and East London hospital, whose In
mates represent the poorest of the poor

all the London charities which this frail
young American peeress helps, both In

Miss Montgomery,

the
duchess' hard-working private secretary
at Sunderland -house, Mayfair, gave me
this message: The duchess' charities
are strictly private. Her grace desires
no , publicity. What ahe does In this
direction she does as a private Indi
vidual." This seal of secrecy the duch
aa ha laid upon all her lieutenants
and upon the chiefs of the big charities
with which she is publicly associated.
Aids JaUhlrde' Wives.
Perhaps her greatest work is among
Jailbirds wives and" children. The
children's home and day nursery in End
slelgh street In the Bloomsbury district.
Is now in full running order. In a few
days the Bishop of London will open the
house adjoining as a home and day
workshop for prisoners' wives. These
houses aje the personal property of the
nucnoii. one vibiio uinii ua-uy hiiu uui
of her own porket pnys all
the expenses. Knowing wnat a lot
of time and money she spends here, It
was somewhat surprising to learn that
her charities are so extensive In the
east end of London.
When she laid the foundation stone
the other day in West Ham, the gen
eral public merely thought that the nos
royal princeas, secured the next best
pital authorities, being unable to get
roy
thing, a duchess, to perform the cere
mony. It certainly looked as If an
American duchess had not been expect
ed, for the decorations, numbering
thousands of flags and shields and
streamers, contained not one slng'o
American flag. There were Japanese,
French, Spanish and the colors of al
most every nation, but the stars and
stripes were conspicuous by their ab
sence. And yet this new wing of this huge
hospital Is to be named after the Amer
ican duchess the Marlborough wing
and It is being built with her American
dollars and those she is collecting from
among her friends. J. Plerpont Mor
gan's name is on the list. So are those
of nearly all the noted Americans in
Kngllsh society.
Endows Hospital Ward.
The duchess herself has already given
this hospital 60,000, with which the
children's surgical ward has partly been
endowed. The ward In consequence is
known as ''the duchess' ward." It
dustrles of tne Church army
ter west Ham was the sioua
despond of the army of the unemployed.
It and the surrounding districts was
the center of the greatest misery
among the poor, not alone In London,
but throughout England. All sorts or
funds were raised, but Jhe Church
army were to the fore with the most
practical relief. The army erected
some big tents, in which warm sleep
ing accommodation was given to the
shivering poor. Hera also meals and
hot soup and coffee were dispensed.
Relief in coal and clothes and money
was also given. But recipients had to
work. They had to chop wood In the
tents kindling wood that was made
Into bundles and found a ready sale In
richer districts.
Prebendary Carllle, head of the
church army, asked the Duchess of
Marlborough to go to West Ham and
open these tents. She did so. They
were known as the kings tents and
the ducheee spent many houra a week
there alleviating the sufferings of the
poor.
Ministers of the gospel and philan
thropists of the neighborhood were in
troduced to her there. The Rev. T.
Given-Wilson Interested her In other
charities of Plalstow and Ham. She
toured the districts with him, with oth
ers. She made handsome donations to
many a struggling charity. She spoke
cheering words at many meetings. She
was the one glad ray of sunshine in
that winter's gloom of hungry despair.
Promises Ser Help.
And it was there she learned that
the crying need of that section of East
End London was the enlargement of the
enerai hospital. Tne duchess promised
er help. That meant that a new wing
would be built and that the capacity of
the hospital would be brought up to
meet the requirements to date.
The duchess attended several meet-
inga of the board of visitors. Waya and
means were then discussed and the
architects' plana were examined and I
approved. A guarantee fund of 1200,000
was needed. A few donations had al
ready been received. It was suggested
that the duchess might get up a baxaar.
This she did. It was. as readers may
remember, one of the grandest and
most successful basaars given in Lon
don. The American ambassador opened It
on one of the days and the American
stalls there were several of them
were the wonder of all. These were
presided over by the duchess, the
Countess of Craven, the Countess of
Essex, the Marchioness of Dufferin, and
a host of other American peeresses and
American leaders or Lionaon society.
At every opportunity since the duch-
a donations or gooa Amer
ican dollars. Vanderbllt, Belmont, Ali
tor, Morgan, are but a few of the great
names on her list.
This spring the duchess announced
that work on the new wing could be
begun, an she herself would guarantee
the funds. So ground was broken and
work advanced until, it was time to lay
the corner-stone.
The duchess wanted a royal princess
to lay this but the board insisted that
she alone must have the honor a royal
princess will open It when, in a few
months, it Is completed.
But a tablet In the wall will tell the
tale an hundred or more years hence
that the corner-stone was well and
truly laid and the building given its
being by Consuelo of Marlborough, pre
mier American duchess. j

people are beginning to find out
that going- to the mountains la going
home; that wlldness Is a necessity, and
that mountain parks and reservations
are useful not only asVfountains ef

fountains of life. ' .
Awakening from the stuplfylng ef
fects of the vice of over-Industry and
the deadly apathy of luxury, they are
trying the beat they can to mix and

those of nature and to get rid of rust

Briskly venturing and roaming, some

So writes, that veteran nature lover,

CAMPING OUT AT
THE STATE FAIR
(Special Dlspatcb to Tbe Journal.
Salem. Or.. Aug. 28. One of the Dleas-
ant features of the Oregon State fair
has always been the camping life in the
oak grove Just outside tbe fair grounds.
The number of campers annually would
form a good sized community. The
tented City Is marked off into streets
and lots, which are furnished free of
charge, but must be reserved before
tbe fair.
Albort Toiler, the "mayor" of the
tented city, who has superintended this
department for many years, has recent
ly returned from an eastern trip and
is making arrangements with prospec
tive campers now. He states that 600
camping sites have already been spoken
for. As there are accommodations for
only 1,200 tents all persons Intending
to take this delightful outing should ap
ply to Mr. Tozler at once for space. All
the sites along the two main "trB"
are already taken and little signs an
nouncing that "this place is reserved
Djr Mr. are seen nailed to al
most every tree.
xnere la an abundance of good water
on the grounds, and a grocery store
ciose at nana, wagons rrom th Sa
lem dealers also visit the grounds daily.
There are enough stalls for the horses,
although this year Mr. Tozler says that
one stall must be made to serve for two
animals, in order to accommodate every
body. Mr. Tozler also notifies the camp
ers that they will have to buy their
firewood this year. There will be per
sons on the grounds with wood for sale.
