Applications have been coming in from every hand for assistance in the shape of food, fuel and other necessaries, so that our utmost recourses have been taxed to supply the needed demand. There is hardly comparison to be made in this respect be- tween the past week and the corresponding week of last year. So narrow is the margin by which a majority of the community is sepa- rated from actual want that a cold snap like this brings thousands to begging for help. WORTRY AND UNWORTHY APPLICANTS FOR RELIEF. “Of course, one great difficulty that we have to encounter is in distinguishing the worthy from the unworthy. But so thorough is our system of management and so extended our ex- perience that we have comparatively little rouble in determining who of our applicants are deserving or vice versa. Out of every five such applicants it may be said that four are not worthy, and upon them any aid that we could give would be worse than wasted. However, it is rarely that we arc imposed because we have learned to know’ good. from bad in this business. I understand itso thoroughly myself that Ican tell in almost every case whether help ought to be given or not. and Iam sure that [ am almost never deceived. It is a com- mon practice for people to give different names Fs rent periods of application to ws, but I have so accustomed myself to remembering the people who apply that in nearly every instance recall the face and promptly look ‘up in the records the name associated with it in my recol- lection. Sometimes a woman—-there was one here today of that sort—will have given as as three or four different names in the ree of our dealings with her. Her object in doing this, obviously, is to evade any remem- b onr part of previous help bestowed voruble facts learned regarding her. y always this trick is unsuccessful and it ouly serves to excite our suspicions.

NOT SO WILLING TO HELP TRAMPS. “One thing that we consider in the distribu- tion of our charity is the question of residence.

Lawyer Shillington made s strong fight in the Police Court today in a liquor case and after consuming nearly an hour of the court's time he came out victorious. His client was Richard Ryan, the proprietor of a grocery store and licensed saloon at 2d and M streets southwest, and there were two charges against him. They were keeping his place open on Sunday and selling liquor to Howard Rodgers, a sixteen-year-old boy. ‘The boy's mother appeared as the prose- cuting witness and she discribed how she found her boy under the influence of liquor Sunday afternoon. She said sho went to find her boy to send him to Sunday school and she found him under the influence of liquor with a bottle in his pocket. He refused to tell where he got the liquor until she threatened to whij him and then he told her that he bought it Ryan's.’ She did not believe him, but io prove it she said he went there and purcbased 10 cents worth of ..

J ———_—_- DIPHTHERIA, Twelve Cases in St. Ann's Asylam—Two in Georgetown—The Placard. Health Officer Townshend yesterday re- ceived word from Dr. Yarnall that there were twelve cases of diphtheria in St. Ann’s Infant Asylum. Dr. Yarnail is the attending physician at that institution. Dr. Townshend and Health Inspector Pool visited the asylum yesterday and made a thorough investigation of the inst:- tution. They found it in excellent condition and the disease was not nearly as bad as they expected. The disease found its way into the asylum a few days ago through two children who wore admitted. Shortly after they were taken in they showed symptons of diphtheretic sore throat and soon other children were taken sick, until more than a dozen of them were affected. One death has resulted thus fa: THE BUILDIXG IX GOOD CONDITION. Dr. Townshend said this morning that the building was in perfect condition and had been disinfected before he made the investigation. It was found unnecessary to give instructions for the isolation of the patients, as they had already been isolated. ‘The doctor said that there was one patient who had a bad case of the disease, but the others were only mildly affected. Although the sisters in charge of the asylum had already had the building disinfected, Dr. Townshen: gave further orders concerning the disinfection and made arrangements to have it disinfected under the supervision of health official today. TWO CASES IN GEORGETOWN. The first doctor to report cases under the new law on the regular forms was Dr. Appleby of Georgetown, who reported two cases today. Both patients were reported as having diphtheria and they will be inquired into today. Under the law placards will have to be put on the houses in which the patients are confined. They are printed on card boards such as for rent and for sale signs, the diphtheria placards being on blue colored paper and scarlet fever being ou pink colored. ‘They read as follows: ‘o remove this placard without permistion of health oficer “is unlawfal. Diphtheria within.” These placards will be tacked on the front doors of the house. —_——_ e POTOMAC FISH. ‘They Are Scarce, but There is » Good Sup- ply From Elsewhere. Although there is good skating on the upper Potomac the fishermen are anxiously watching for the first run of shad in the lower Potomac. Potomac river fish are very scarce at present, only a few yellow perch, pike and catfish being caught, and they are all caught a long distance from here, none being taken this side of Mary- land Point. Catfish arefanusually scarce and are bringing better prices than ever known be- fore. There is an abundant supply of fish from North Carolina and the lakes. Sheephead and shad are the principal fish arriving from the Carolina waters, while a great many black bass are also being received from the same place, The shad sell at from 50 cents to $1 pair and the bast bring 20 cents pound. White fish and trout are received from the lakes in large supply. Paes lee Officers of Garfield Post Installed.

Inthe Supreme Court of the United States yesterday Justice Gray announced the decision of the court affirming the decision of the Dis- trict courts in favor of the Fifth Baptist Chureh of Sonth Washington in its suit for damages against the road for maintaining a nuisance in the shape of a round house next the church and tracks in front of the chnreh. There were two suits against the road, one being for ages from 1877 to 1880, and the other from 1980 to 1883. Six thousand dollars were awarded by the jury in the former and $7,000 in the latter suit.” The church has al- ready collected $4,500 damages for tie 1main- tenance of the nuisance by the railroad for three years from 1874. The objection raised, that the jury in its award did not take into consideration the pre- vious judgment against the railroad, the court disposed of with the statement that it was a wellsettled principle of law that ‘every con- tinuance of a nuisance was a fresh nuisance, and new damages could be recovered therefor. —_— ‘Twice « Defendant in a Divorce Suit. Yesterday a case was filed in which the de- fendant is required to answer a petition for divorce the second time, he having been, it is stated, married, divorced and morried again. ‘This second case is brought by Mr. D. W. Glassie in the name of Minnie D. Rose Robey (nee Barghauren) against Randolph Robe: addition to the divorce the petitioner asks injunction to restrain the defendant from in- terfering with her or the property at their re dence, 1514 14th street, over one of the defend ant's feweiry stores. ‘Mra, Robey charges that ashort time after their marriage in Octobe 1589, defendant commenced to abuse, ilit and neglect her; that often he remained away from her until after midnight and sometimes did not return home till morning, and when she expostulated with him, telling how lonely she Ke {otel Ran- told her he had beer veeing fun with his girl | and would stay out as long as he pleased.

Nero will be repeated all the week. NarioxaL.—An audience which filled every seat and overflowed into the aisles and lobby greeted Mr. E. H. Sothern at the National last night on the occasion of the first presentation of his new play, “The Maister of Woodbar- row." The piece is an excellent one, full of in- terest, with the dialogue written in Jerome's happiest vein, with strong and effective situa- tions and with bits of sentiment and pathos which bring tearsto the eye of men as well as women. ‘The career of a country bumpkin who through « mistake comes into the possession of great wealth and goes to London, where a lot of people attempt to teach him the ways of polite soc‘ety, his inability to be false to his own convictions of right and wrong, his awaken- ing to the fact that he had been played with by those whom he thought true and his return to his home, his mother and his first love—that in brief is the story. Mr. Sothern gives an excel- lent interpretation of the part of Allen Roilitt. He had opportunity for doing some comedy work, which was of the same character as that which was so enjoyable in Lord Chumley, and he aiso developed a capaalty’ for earnest, serious action, which gives him a higher rank as an actor than that of an eccentric comedian. In the third act particularly his pathos was of that genuine sympathetic guality that carried Lis audicnee completely with him, Mr. Holand Buckstone did effective work as Col.
