The Subcommittees Outlining Plans to Help the Needy—Will Report Tomorrow Afternoon. Considerable progress has been made in the preparatory work of the central relief committee, notwithstanding the interrup- tions of Christmas time and the occupa- tion of the public in special works of be- nevolence through churches and religious and benevolent fraternities generally. ‘she committee on collection of funds and sSuppiies, composed of Messrs. ‘Theodore W. Noyes, Beriah Wilkins and Simon Wolf, is Preparing a plan for submission at tomor- vow’s meeting of the main committee. The committee on distribution, consisting of Mr. Gardner, Miss Loring, Mr. Cook, Mr. Emery and Mr. Tracey, will make report as to its branch of the work. It is probable that the committee will favor the use of existing agencies of distrs:ution, such as the police force and the associated charities, rather than the creation of new ones, The Central Union Mission hag been care- fully inspected and found to have facilities tor much of the work of affording emergent relief in shelter and food that the exigency calls for. s‘or the present, and until addi- tional arrangements are made, persons needing shelter or relief are referred to the following institutions, which have been communicated with by the relief committee: ‘The Young Women’s Christian Home, 311 © street, which wiil receive all deserving needy femaies; the Central Union Mission, Louisiana avenue near Pennsylvania ave- nue, food and shelter for the necessitous of both sexes; Newsboys and Children’s Aid Society, 310 street northwest, temporary shelter for boys; the Municipal Lodging House, 12th street near Pennsylvania ave- nue, for men in need of food or lodging who can work; the Associated Charities, G street near vth street, for relief in food, clothing, etc., to applicants at the central office or any branch office of the association, and for distribution to the needy at their homes; Police Headquarters, 464 Louisiana avenue, for relief throughout the city, distributed through the station houses on application or upon information of the existence of distress given at police headquarters or any precinct. ‘Lwelve cases of destitution reported to the central relief committee yesterday received relief through police headquarters, the as- sociated charities and other channels, —.—_—_ CODFISH FROM THE PACIFIC. Rapid Growth of an In try Which May Soon Rival the Eastern Product. From the New York Herald. Codfishing in Pacific waters has not until within the last two or three years assumed the proportions of a great business eenter- prise. Since it began, however, it has grown so rapidly that it seems likely soon to become a formidable rival to the fishing and packing industry of the Atlantic coast. Indeed, salt codfish from California is already in competition with the eastern product in St. Louis, Chicago and other great cities of the middle west, and its progress is steadily toward the Atlantic. The Pacific coast fisheries extend from the Okhotsk sea, on the shores of Kam- schatka, io the Shumagin Islands, off the line of Alaska. The supply of codfish in | these waters is practically inexhaustible. They can be caught wherever soundings can be made, and the fleets engaged in the = are invariably successful in their work. At Pescada, ten miles from San Francis- co, an extensive curing establishment has veen located and is doing an enormous busi- ness. It is fitted up with the most approved appliances for preparing the fish for market and is operated in connection with a fleet of six seagoing vessels which cruise and fish along the coast of Alaska. These ves- els go out about the beginning of April nd return in October, sending their “catches” in the meantime to San Fran- cisco by a ship specially devoted to that part of the work. Experts prefer the Pacific codfish to its Atlantic kindred. They say it is finer, firmer and possessed of a better flavor than the fish from the Grand Banks. Neverthe- less there is, even in San Francisco, a strong feeling in favor of the New Eng- land codfish. Of the two thousand grocery stores in that city not more than a dozen sell the Pacific codfish, and efforts to in- troduce it into general use have made little headway. The fish packers declare that it is only the narrowest sort of prejudice that prevents the native product from crowding the eastern article out of the market. They insist that it is better, more nutritious and in every way superior. ‘The Vacitic codfish is, nevertheless, trav- eling eastward. Three or four carloads are shipped every week to St. Louis, Chicago and St. Paul, where it finds a ready sale at profitable pri The shippers even de- clare that they send quantities right into Gloucester and other packing points in New England, where it is repacked, marked with new labels and sent west again to be sold as “first choice Massachusetts codfish.” It may be, however, that this latter state- ment is only a sample California fish story. ———ee. Bobby in Literatare. From the Mlustrated Loglon News. An ex-policeman, who has taken to Mtera- ture, applied to a magistrate the other day for a protection order against his wife, who “interferes with and discourages his liter- ary labors.” The magistrate very properly declined to interfere. No doubt the man wanted to write detective stories, with which, in consequence of the success of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, we are Just now inundat- ed. I only wish that not only ex-policemen, but ex-professional folks of all kinds, could be hindered by their wives—or somebody— from taking to literature. People who have failed in everything else go into it now as they used to do into the wine trade. It isa comfort to know that their wives and fami lies are generally inclined to discourage them. This is often the case even as re- spects those who take to letters from the first. The critics on the hearth are the severest critics of all, and can seldom be persuaded that their gifted relative can rite anything, as they bluntly express it, vorth readin, There have been some wives of literary men, we are told, “so vain of the abilities of their husbands that they have been insufferable’—except to their _ husbands; but they have not often erred in this direction. Disraeli, the elder, tells us he had seen an album with the following dedi- cation signed by a man of letters, who, for his own sake, shall be nameless: “From the Goat Tavern in the Strand, London, Nov. 27; in the thirty-fourth year of my free- dom.” ++ How to Bathe. From Demorest's Magazine. Not many people when performing their morning ablutions think of bathing intelli- gently; yet there is such a thing as washing the face and never getting it thoroughly cleansed—only removing the dirt from the surface. Begin with tepid water and Cas- tile soap, gradually increasing the tempera- ture until it is hot as can be borne, using soap generously. After bathing the face— always rubbing up instead of down, to pre- vent wrinkles—for Some minutes, sit down and rub well into the pores of the skin almond or cold cream, or any good prepara- tion of the kind; let this remain for five or ten minutes, then wash it off thoroughly with soap and hot water, after which rinse off in cold water. The sudden change has |a tonic effect, making the blood circulate matter is thrown off, thus making the com- plexion clean and rosy. This formula, even modified so ihe whole wiil not take twenty minutes, carefully followed, will do wonders toward clearing a muddy complexion, and will keep a fine skin in good condition. Last of all, that most trying affliction, a red nose, is permanently remedied, if this be perse- vered in. Of course the morning plunge bath, in tepid water in winter, and cool water in summer, must not be neglected, besides a | warm bath twice a week, with soap and a | flesh brush. After the morning bath, which should not last longer than three minutes, a brisk rub with Turkish towels will restore the circulation and make one feel rejuven- ated. ————+ee-— To Take the Post-Graduate Course.
