Show SOME UNPATRIOTIC AMERICANS Here are the sums Americans have contributed for the purchase and equip- j ment of the British hospital ship Maine, j which is to do service in South African ; waters during the Boer war, but only for the benefit of the English, not of their wounded prisoners, should they take any. Here also are the sums contributed con-tributed by the same persons to the hospital field and work at large of the United States during the war with Spain. The comparison is interesting: British Amer. Ship. War. Frank L. Gardner Jo.OOO ? John Hays Hammond 5,000 ? H. J. King 5,000 ? W. K. Vanderbilt 2,500 ? P. E. Singer 2,500 ? J. P. Curtis 2.500 ?

The question marks ill this table indicate indi-cate the absence, says an exchange, of any record of any contribution having been made by the persons opposite whose names they are placed.

Morgan & Co., named in the foregoing list, is the London branch of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., bankers, of New York. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, at the beginning of the Spanish Span-ish war, sold his steam yacht, the Corsair, Cor-sair, to the United States government for $125,000. |
