THE TRUE MISSION OF CHARITY ORGANIZATIONS. To Detect Impostors a Help the Needy Without Pauperizing Them. To the Editor of Tue EvexiNo Star: Gentlemen: I have read your excellent sum- mary of the proceedings of the annual meeting of the Charity Organization society in Inst night’s Stax. Iam pleased you note that our society dispenses no alms, and T wish to say this is the secret of success of this organization in our other large cities; but it is asked on every hand and very rightly—“How then fs the society a benefit to the poor?” If we can obtain a carefal consideration of this question from our citizens generally we are confident of a more general interest in our work and a far more satisfactory solution of this most dificult And distressing problem than can be gained by the oid plan of taxing our citizens or appealing toa benevolent public to contribute to a gen- eral fund to relieve the needy. who are not in our public institutions, The argument of the society Is simply this: A very large proportion of the almsgiven through public and private chan- nels goes to impostors or able bodied persons. It has been ascertained in other cities that about half of what is given for charitable pur- pses is wasted through the deception practised yy the applicants for relief, and about half of the balance goes to persons who are able to work and could largely be helped to work if a terest was taken in them. then, of these facts, 1st, a register as full as can be obtained of applicants for relief throughout the city is needed, so that persons trying to live by begging—asking aid of several churches or societies, or individuals at the same time— can be detected and the great waste in the du- pileneon of relief saved and frauds and impos- rs be compelled to leave ourcity or go to work fora living. This is the ‘repressive work” of our organization. Another alm of the society is the adequate relief of the honest poor and the reclaiming of the pauperized Ist, to see that the permanently disabled are cared for by friends or placed in the proper public insti- tution and riyhtly cared for there; 2d, that through branches of the society in every part of the city friendly visitors go to the homes of the poor and help them toa condition of self sup- is ther than degrade them more and more yy carrying them alins from day to day, soster- ‘ing habits of indolence and dependence. "But it is said there are cases of the sick and poor who can't get work, who must be given money and food, &e. Very true. How, then, shall they be relieved? It ‘has been demonstrated in other cities having this organization that without a ie exception the grant of public moneys for this purpose has been wholly abolished, or that this result is being brought about; and this through the plan of providing for the needy adopted by this society, viz: placing them in charge of the ‘church, society or friends obligated to aid them, or, if triend- less, the branch society, through friendly visi- tors, obtaining the needed relief from private sources, i.e, benevolent persons in that section of the city, or elsewhere if need be. It is am exceedingty didicult thing wo give alms without undermining the recipient's self-respect and seli-dependence, ‘The great majority ot paupers are made by well meant but indis- criminate alms giving, In reply to the question, why not have a fund in our society for the relief of the Foor, we say; there is suficient private benevolence to meet every cuse of actual distress, and further, that the dispensing of alms through a general relief society is not practical. This is the uniform testimony of similar organizations in other cities that have tried it, But we need money for the support of an or- ganizing secretary (an arduous work), for office rent, for printing’ aud keeping up our register, to publish our directory of charitable institu- tions, &e., de.

Some Remarkable Features of the Great Meeting of Episcopalians, proper In view, A telegram to the New York Sun from New Haven, October 27, says: Perhaps New Haven in all her history never entertained a more re- markable or suggestive assemblage than the chureh congress which sdjourned on the even- ing of Friday, the 234, after a session lasting four days, holding two conferences each day. It is generally understood that this is a purely voluntary association within the Episcopal church, with neither diocessan nor general rec_ ognition, without authority in that it can liter. ally settle noubing outside the routine of its own procedure, and that its sole function lies In the maintenance of an untrammelied plat- form, where every school of thought and prac. tice Within the Episcopal church may have ex- plicit utterance without intimidation or dread Of disciplinary measures. ‘This congress meets yearly. Itis closely mod- eled on @ similar association in the English Chureh, which has for many years attracted to- ward Its discussions the critical interest of jour- nalism, secular as well as ecclestustical: At the outset the Bishops were disposed to give It the cold shoulder, Now they muy be found at every session, presiding ex-officio, reading pa- rs on allotted topics orsharing in the more Informal deliberations, Although originatin: in a group of especially scholarly broad churc men. like the late Dr. John Cotton Smith, ani Washburn, of Calvary Chureh, and Dr. Wildes, Dr, Harwood and Bishop Clark, of Rhode Island, it speedily became quite impersonal and achro- matic in its theologl direction and drew into its maintenance the strongest and foremost rep- resentatives of every clearly outlined move- ment within the Episcopal Church, ‘Such a shaking together of combustible and strongly antagoulatic elements thirty years ago would have blown the Chureh to atoms; yet last week more than 20,000 auditors, it is ésti- mated, viewed this “Happy Family” without experiencing a tremor of appretension or scent- Ing the ghost ofa scandal in the atmosphere, In short, the rhetorics Odium Theoloyicum seems to have become a thing of, the past, and men of the extremest convictions Ifstened to attacks upon thelr darling theories without a flutter of disturbed temper or a twinge of animosity. ‘The city seemed to have adopted the congress in a lavish hospitality that overran all bounds, ecclesiastical and academic. Yale, in the person of her venerable president, who sat at he right of Bishop Williams, the presiding officer, was represented at almost every con- ference. Profs, Sumner and Welr appeared among the yolunteer speakers, while college Officers and students were sprinkled plentifully throughout the great audience. The persistent, unflinching attention of those great audiences yas something magnetic and phenomenal tn its intensity. ‘Perhaps the presence of Archdeacon Farrar and the reading ot bis important papers on ‘Tuesday and Wednesday—the first, on “The Christian Doctrine of the Atonement,” and the second, on the “Grounds of Church Unity” — may have had something todo in stimulating popular interest. Each Conference was given up to the discussion of a single topic, and the toplcs,together with writers and speakers, were assigned montng ago. eo that there, was ‘little loose writing and little irrelevant talk. Indeed, the spirit of the occasion was strong enough to Testrain even the spontaneous after speeches, for the most part, within desirable limits. Not more than once, or possibly twice, was there an exhibition of the slightest irritability, or a call for executive intervention. ‘The range of topics was both fearless and ad- mirable. On Tuesday evening the subject was “The Christian Doctrine of the Atonement,” and on Wednesday, “Grounds of Christidn Vulty,” and in the evening, “The Ethics of the ‘Tariff Question.” For Thursday, the topic was “Aesthet/zm of Worship” in ‘the morning, and in the evening, ‘Free Churches.” For Fridaz, “Deaconesses’ and Sisterhoods” in the morning, and for the evening, “Place and ‘Methods of Bible Study in the Christian Lite.” ‘There were but three disappointments during the entire congress, and the work presented was for the most part the beat work of the best men. ‘There were’ bishops," clerxymen, monks, and laymen in the discussion, advocates of an almost tridentine medevalism, high sacramen- Jow sacramentarians, almost no-sacra- mentarians, extremest Protestants, who frater- nize with other bodies of Christiays, advocates Of the monastic type of Christian lite and work, Savocates of Christian socialism, bellevers in the inspiration of the Scriptures abd others de- nying iin express terms, ritualisw and anti- BIG WAR VESSELS.

To count and measure 42,000 eggs, and enter a record of each one, is not a task that one would take up for amusement. A young lady, sitting in one of the smaller rooms adjoining the exhibition halls of the National museum, was engaged on such a seemingly endless task when a STAR reporter looked into her retreat the other day. The young lady was Miss H. 8. Perkins, the assistant to Capt. Bendire, curator of the section of ology. The term oology is adopted by acientists because it does not offer so many pegs to hang puns upon as the piain Saxon word, egz, and the oologist engaged in his ab- sorbihg Work ean labor on undisturbed by the distractions of punsters. When the eggs in the collection at the National museum were counted last January, Miss Perkins told the reporter, the nuinber was found to be 40,072. "Now she thought there were 42,000 or 43,000 in the collection. These are packed away In trays that fill cases placed along the walls of the room, Each tray is pre- pared with strips of cotton batting, so arranged that each egg has its own little apartment with, soft walls of cotton. One who loves beautitul color, could find a world of pleasure in looking through these trays. Many of the eggs are beautifully marked or Spotted, others are uni- Jorm in color, but of exquisite shades,unrivalied by art. “In one case are a number of eggs trom South America which have a bright polish, as it enamelled or glazed. Delicate blues and pinks and greens prevail. Some of these colors fade upon exposure to light, Other eggs, the oologist said, would lose their bea: tiful luster upon | being — handied.

Capt.

Others usean nstrument manufactured especially tor the purpose.
