Yesterday not less than 250 sufferers crowded the rooms of the Associated Charities | sorely taxed to attend to their wants. ‘This morning, when a Star reporter visited the headquarters of the assotiation, not only were the rooms and the passages leading to them crowded almost to suffocation by the poorly clad, sick and hungry, but even the sidewalks in front and adjacent wero filled with ‘an anzions throng of distressed ie. The crowd today was by far the largest in the history of the office, and Mr, Emery was | compelled to discriminate even more ciotely than ever before that only the really deserving should be supplied. Secretary Emery stated that while the warm weather of today might afford some slight re- lief it would hardly be more than a temporary one, especially if cold weather should soon follow. : He therefore trusted that the liberal responses of the good people of the District would not be relaxed in the least, for everything which might be given, money, food, fuel, or clothing, would find distressed ones to whom it would prove a veritable godsend.

It have to be built especially for thie purpose, and | as it might never be called into use it was | thought that the expense incurred for this one | occasion would not be justifiable. To meet the exigencies of the case a plan was adopted which is in the nature of au ex- periment. The rifle has been placed ina gaa Pit, and stands in avertical position.
