AFPLICATIONS FOR CHARITY continue to pour in upon the police authorities, and a large Corps of reliable policemen are kept busy, early and late, to make inquiries as to rhe Wants and merits of each Individual case. Yes- terday there were issued SSS orders for fuel and provisions, and about 150 applicants were found to be unworthy and rejected. There are still hundreds of applications which have not yet been reached, owing to the time consumed in making the proper investigations. This seems to be unavoidable on account of te many tm- posters who strive to get all they can by varl- ous devices, and even with the precaution taken itis probable that some cases are duplicated. One of the lieutenants states that the most ob- trusive and clamorous among the applicants are those who loat about ‘street corners, and will not work if they can avold it. Some have come to look upon these annual charities as a matter of course, and for several winters have enjoyed them. Those most worthy are generally the most moilest ones, who do not like to make their necessities known, and consequently are not apt to be beneficiaries. He says a gentleman called at his station yesterday and stated that he would Ike to be furnished with a servant; that he had employed no less than three since the dis- tribution of charity commenced, and one after another had left, stating that they could do better now; that they could get food and fuel without working for it. THE CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGH THE POLICE peported this morning by Major Brock are as follows: John A. Clark, $5 worth of cod fish: Jobn T.

This isaclaim to renew and en- force upon the railway between Alexandria and Washington a judgment lien of some $40,000, principal and interest. The road was originally constructed (1556-60) from Alexandria to the Long ens by Jas. S. French and a few asso- Clates, under the name of the Washington and Alexandria Railroad company, $60,000 (which has never been repaid) being loaned by the cor- poration of Washington to construct the road. Alexander Hay about 1857 became the owner of Tour judgments against the Washington and Alexandria Railroad company, aggregating ‘some $20,000, and these being a lien on the road, It was sold under decree for their payment in isé2-63. Hay and his associates buying out the road and franchise organized the Alexandria, Washington and Georgetown Rall- road company, and carried on the road for some Ume. As soon as the new company was con- sututed Mr. Hay entered his judgments sat Jed, Bat in 1870 the sale of the road of 1362-63 Was set aside, and as the Alexandria, Washing- ton and Scormevome Railroad Company existed a8 a corporation only by virtue of that sale, all the franchises it had enjoyed went back to the Alexandria and Washington Railroad Company, which the Virginia courts declared had never Ceased to éxist. As Mr. Hay’s judgments were marked satisied, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which became in 1572-75 the pur- chaser of the Alexandria and Washington Com- pany, Dever acknowledged Mr. Hay’s lien, and Ubis suit is to declare it to be of binding force and to compel its payment. The case was argued before Judge Hughes by Gen. H. H. Welis, who insisted that as the consideration which led Mr. Hay to mark his judgments “‘sat- isfed” had failed, his right to recover revived. This was controverted by Mr. S. F. Beach for the Alexandria and Washington Katlroad Com- pany. ‘The court took the papers and a deci- siouis exp ected before the close of the term. Rev. MR. Mason’s RESIGNATION.—Rev. Mr. Mason, of the E-street Baptist church, in reply to a question by a STaR reporter, as (0 bis rea- sons for tendering his resignation, satd that when he was called to the E-atreet church (about two years ago) he had under considera- Uon a call elsewhere, which he was inclined to accept, Dut, looking over the ground, he co: cluded to accept the offer from E-streer chu: with the view of unifying certain Interests not with the idea that he should be the perm nent minister. Having. as he thought, ceeded in his work, and the churea being now im a perfectly harmonious condition, and stil! being inclined to go elsewhere, be his resicnation. There was a perfect unanimity of feeling between pastor and people, and if he had thought it was otherwise he would not have taken this course, for he had made a rule never to leave a church if there was not perfect har- mony existing. This course had been premedi- dated, for six months ago he had informed his wife that he should tender bis resignation on the 2d of January, 1951. The action of the church In the resolution requesting Mr. Mason to recall his resignation, was formally presented to him last evening by the deacons, and he holds it under consider- ation for a few days. A RULING AS TO CARRYING WEAPONS.—Yes- terday, in the Criminal Court, (sudge James,) in the case of George W. Taylor, charged with carrying a concealed weapon, (a pistol,) the court made an important ruling. It was shown that the defendant had a pistol in his hand when the officer arrested him, but there was no Proof that he owned it nor that it was con- cealed. Messrs. Cook and Cole, for the defend- ant, raised the point that uhder the law the de- fendapt must be acquitted. The court held that the act of the legislature was not tntended to interfere with the open carrying of weapons, and applied only to carrying concealed weapons.

Editor Star:—The present call upon the charity of the city which ts being so generously Tesponded to will fall of its Dest resuit if It does not Jead to some permanent arrangement both to relieve belpless poverty and to prevent it. Everywhere matertal progress and pauperisin are marching On paraliel lines. Year by year the burden of the taxpayers for crime and pau- perism increases. It has growa from eight to twenty millions ina single decade, An ever- increasing ary covets its ievies, threaten- | ing to reduce the competent to its own level by wholesale confiscation if its exactions are not stayed. Itisaserious and a menacing fact. Nearly all of us who are householders are dis- pensing piety aid often to more persons than arein our own famtites. The religious and the humane soctetles distribute vast sums, and the city provides for taousands by public taxation. And this goes on enlarging its bad proportions in this city without a serious at- jempt to arrest its growth. It ts notable that the recipients of this vast charity are not wholly of the ignorant class. Numerous cases are known of educated per- sons and some who have held high positions. Intelligent selfishness not less than benevo- lence dictates that we should undertake some measures to protect ourselves from this grow- ig evil. 1 have no panacea, and do not wish to arrogate especial knowledge; but, having had occasion recently to visit other cities, I venture to suggest that, without risking asything in iment, we inight gain muca by adopting pedients already tested. In Boston they have a board of associated charities, of which Robert ‘Treat Palne is now president. All the charita- ble associations of the city occupy a large cen- tral building, which is supplied by the city. ‘The city is divided into districts, and for each there ig paid visitor, and a committee who Theet weekly. The visitor Mls out a card giv— ing the name, residence, circumstances, and kind of relief required, which 1s at once sup- lied, The cards are arranged in alphabetical order, and the societles examine them and can at once ascertain if any person 1s getting relief from other sources, The people of Boston nave been educated to see the great vice of indiscriminate alma-giv- ing. Mr. Paine well says, ‘ Keep on Siving, and begging will become an art, a profitable business among the poor.” Washington 1s the Paradise of the profes- sional beggar. The comers and goers toss him a bit, and he thrives apace, after recetving am- ple ald from various donors. A good woman of my acquaintance has furnished a grog bruiser with nickels for his drinks for two years past. On New Year’s morning, as I met him with a black eye and swollen race coming for his grog money. she appezled to me to give him some- thing “for his poor wife and children.” A mo- ment after he owned that he had been on a drunk all night, and never had wife or child. Such cases are very numerous. They are not only wasteful of means, but the giver becomes a promoter of vice abd pauperism. Careless giving 1s, therefore, positively immoral. But If can only be stopped by a wise organization of the charities of the city. We have no soctal science club, unfortunately, to urge this policy or wisely initiate it. ‘The District commission 1s too much burdened by its vast and various duties. ‘They propose to Corgress to organize an independent’ board of citizens, This will Lot pass; indeed, it 13 Dot likely to be considered, uniess leading citi- zens take an active interest init. It must be backed by some general expression and the support of personal influence with members of Congress to secure attention in this short and crowded session. It is a matter teetotally in- volving the best interests of the city. The bur- den of its taxes, the health, the morals, and thus incidentally the value of property here, are to be largely affected by the growth of pau- perism and consequent disease and crime. ‘The intelligent’ care of the neglected classes will largely prevent helpless poverty, and thus in- crease the wealth, health and virtue of the peo- ple. Intelligent organization 1s the crying need to supplant the present wasteful and victous system of private almsgiving, and provide a system which excludes the unworthy, shall make it absolutely certain that none who are deserving shall ever suffer for food, shelter or tender care in this city,which should bea aie example.
