BEGINNING THE CANVASS. | Help! is the cry that is going up from countless Washingtonian: The distress which prevails today, according to those | who have to deal with applications for! relief, is more extensive and intense than | any which has ever been known in the his- tory of the District. ‘The appeal that is made is not merely the annual mid-winter plea for alms. It is something more. Thousands of the people of Washington want food. Thousands of Washingtonians are without it. Hundreds ‘of families are likely to be homeless be- cause the rent was not forthcoming. That part of the population of Washing- ton now in want of the common necessaries of life is not the worthless, vagabond ele- ment, which many charitable people sup- “pose. They are people who have never be- fore been compelled to ask alms. They are artisans, who, when trade is normal, are in comfortable circumstances. They pay their landlord and their grocer, their chil- dren attend the public schools, thetr wives are faithful and frugal and their home life is happy. They are good and worthy citi- zens. The reason of their distress is that they have had no work in many months, can find none, and there is none in pros- pee Painters, bricklayers, carpenters, glaziers, roofers, plasterers, hod-carriers and labor- ers have been out of employment so long tat their savings have been exhausted in the long wait for better days, and now that the wolf has gained an entrance, the only silver lining they can hope for must come from the hearts of their fellow citizens. Work was very scarce and slack last spring. Building stopped almost wholly early in the summer, and there has been no awakening. The building season closes usually in the fall, and during that spell of industry those connected with it can hus- band enough to tide them over to the next | harvest of labor. This was not the case jJast fall. At that time the artisans and all the various classes dependent on them were “broke.” Since then it has been a struggle to make the ends meet, and now the paint of culmination is at hand. Var- lous charities have done noble work, but systematic, united and far-reaching ‘exer- tion is reeded to meet the almost univer- sal wants ‘The central relief committee is busy, but the demands made upon it are too great. There Is a steady stream of poor and rag- ged folks who apply for help. They teil tales of suffering calculated to warm the coidest heart into a flame of sympathy and good will. Their tales of trouble and woe pist. Mr. Wall, who is in charge at the rooms of the central relief committee at the headquarters of the Central Union Mis- sion, told a reporter for The Star this af- ternoon that they needed all kinds of old cast-off clothes, bedding and other articles of that kind. Any sort of a contributior will be received with thanks and placed where it will be appreciated and where it will do great good. The conditons existing today, he said, were unprecedented in Dis- trict history. It was not alone the number ef people in need of help, but it was the character of those people which was start- ling. The house-to-house canvass for the | relief of the poor began today, and it is hoped that the response will be hearty, and that it will reach a long way toward relping the affiicted people to bridge over their misfortune. THE CANVASS COMMENCED. Everybody to Be Asked to Give Some- thing. * Today the house-to-house canvass of the | District for contributions of money and supplies to relieve the destitution in the city began. The plans have been system- atically laid, committees have been organ- ized in every part of the District, and be- fore the week is out'it is believed every house will have been visited. 4 Opportunity will be given to all to make | rendered will . }2 pm donations. The canvass begins opportunely, as the chairman of the central relief com- mittee reports that the funds that have been placed in his hands have been practi- caily exhausted by, the relief work already begun. The canvassers today were busy in most cases in leaving the blanks pro- vided for them at houses. They will, when they have distributed the blanks, make personal calls ai the houses to collect the money or the pledges of donations. The bright sun and mild weather made it pos- sible to cover a good deal of ground today. br. S. S. Bond has been added to the committee for the 17th district, of which Dr. A. J. Schafhirt is chairman. Miss Sarah Murphy to the committee for the 12th dis- trict, of which Mr. John H. Benton is chairman. Mr. Samuel Snow to the com- mittee for the 28th district, of which Mr. A. L. Sturtevant is chairman. Mrs. I. F. Macfarland and Mrs. Wm. N. Strong to the committee for the 5th district, of which Mrs. H. B. F. Macfarland is chairman. Mrs. Wickham to the committee for the 10th district, of which Mrs. N. A. Robbins is chairman, and Mrs. R. H. Martin to the committee for the 9th district, of which Mr. C. B. Rheem is chairman. Mr. Thos. W. Smith, chairman of the twenty-second district, has completed his committee. It comprises the following members: Dr. W. P. C. Hazen, Dr. J. B. Gregg Custis, Mrs. A. T. Stuart, Alex. McKenzie, Mrs. P. V. DeGraw, Wm. B. Mrs. Sarah McSpofford, N. M. , Carlton Hughes, Geo. Weide, 8. Walker, Mrs. Page, Charles A. Shield, D. R. Bacon, Miss Mary S. Bennett, Lawrence Cayanaugh, Mrs. H. M. Harvey and Rev. Dr. John Chester. Am Appeal From Chairman Truesdell. Mr. George Truesdell, chairman of the citizens’ committee on canvass, has issued an address to the public as follows: The systematic canvass of the District for contributions of money and supplies | for the relief of the destitution in the city | | will be commenced Monday, January 2. The canvass will be made in each of the thirty-three districts into which the Dis- trict of Columbia has been divided for this | purpose by members of a subcommittee, | ¥ho are authorized to collect money for the citizens’ relief fund. It is planned to have the subcommittees go over their dis- tricts as quickly as possible, and an appeal is made to every resident of the District to pe make the canvass prompt and thor- ough. The subcommittees comprise busy men and women who have accepted as a public duty the task of canvassing at serious incon- venience to themselves. Citizens every- where can help them by giving quickly and saving their time. Let every one decide | right away what he is able to give in money or supplies and have a ready an- swer for the member of the subcommittee who calls. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the ne- cessity for the work. It is a time to give, and to give generously. Those who come in touch with the poor, those whose official positions enable them to judge of the ex- tent of the destitution prevailing, make reports showing the need for an extraordi- nary effort on the part of citizens. Let no one decline to give because he has given before. The need is a continuing one, and provision must be made for the care of those reduced by lack of employment to extreme want, until) an improvement in the industrial situation brings relief. ‘The chairman of the central relief com- mittee reports that the funds placed at the disposal of that committee have been practically exhausted by work already done. It depends upon the response made by citizens to the appeal of the canvassing | committee whether the work of relief, which is daily becoming more necessary, is to continue. It is trusted that every one who enjoys a stated income will make a contribution in proportion to his means. A most urgent appeal is made in behalf of the thousands who ordinarily are industrious and seif- and contribute by their labor to the prosperity of the city, but who now | | | | sustaining | to be allowed to stay fn his watch box until the canvassers stretch out their hands and ask you to give.” ‘The Blanks Provided. ‘The members of the canvassing commit- tee are supplied with subscription books, containing on the inside of the cover au- thority to collect money and supplies for the committee. This is signed by Mr. George Truesdell as chairman of the gen- eral committee. The blanks supplied, pre- pared under the direction of Mr. Edson of the executive committee, to be left at houses, will, it is believed, expedite the can- Vass. This contains spaces. for persons to write in their pledges. What the blank asks for are donations under any or all of the following heads: 1, Money—(Draw checks to Jno. E. Her- rell, treasurer); 2. Food—(Any substantial, nourishing food, such as fiour, bread, corn- meal, beans, cured meats, coffee, sugar, &e., &e.), Fuel—(Coal and wood, or or- ders for the same); 4. Clothing—(Any kind ot clothing, new or second-hand, for men, women, or children, comforts, biankets, material to make up, &c., &c.). in reference to money, the blank says: Money should be subscribed, as it is now and ‘will be greatly needed as the winter advances. A large portion of the relief necessarily require ready money to be effective. Therefore, you are urgently asked to subscribe money, how- ever small the amount. Spaces are provided for the signature of the donor, and also for the name of the canvasser who leaves the blank at a house. The paper is intended to be folded and placed in the envelope. On the back are left spaces to write the name and address of the donor, and the number of the dis- trict when the blank is tiled away in Chair- man Truesdell's office. Also there appears the following notices: 1. if the paper is not called for within five days by a member of the subcommit- tee in your district, please mail it in the envelope left with it to Mr. Geo. ‘Truesdell, chairman, 2. A member of the District subcommit- tee will call for money contributions. Sup- plies donated will be collected by a proper- ly authorized agent. z %. To save time, please have packages ready when called for, strongly wrapped, ard contents labeled. Printed on the other side of the back also are the names of the central relief commit- tee and the following: The Situation. “The unusual destitution prevailing in the city, the great number out of employ- ment exceeding anything known in the history of the District, and the suffering for common necessaries of life among those who ordinarily are not in want, call upon those in whose homes the biessings of pros- perity, of employment, and of steady in- come are enjoyed to make some sacrifice in the name of common humanity to relieve the distress of the less fortunate. Those who can give, however much or little, should give promptiy, for the need is ur- gent. The money and supplies contributed will be applied under the direction of the central relief committee to the relief of residents of the District who are in need and deserving of help.” The Instructions to Committee M bers. To every member of the committee a printed slip has been given containing the following instructions: It is believed that the blanks supplied to members of the canvassing committee will save them much time and many words. ‘The canvassers should write their names on the blanks before leaving them at houses, A blank and envelope should be left in every home where, on account of the absence of the head of the house, or because time is wanted to consider, or for any other reason, the canvasser does not get an immediate response to the request tor contributions. Where there is more than one family in a house, a blank should be left for every family, and in the case of boarding houses, arrange, if possible, to have a blank placed in the hands of every person in the house who is likely to give something. The blanks left should be called for the next day, or as soon thereafter as possi- vl loney contributions should be collected by the canvasser, who is provided with a book for the purpose of making the proper entries. Donations of food, clothing or fuel will be collected by an authorized agent of the committee. Canvassers should make a datly return to the district chairman of all cash collect- ed and all pledges of donations of either money or supplies received. The chairmen are requested to make a return every day to the chairman of the Keneral committee, Mr. George Truesdell, of all moneys received, and a sparate re- port of all money pledged but not collected. Ali blanks containing pledges of contribu- tions of food, clothing or fue) should be forwarded through the district chairmen to the general chairman, to be placed in the hands of those intrusted with the collec- tion of such supplies. Where a blank contains a pledge of both money and supplies, the canvasser should first collect the money, note the fact on the blank and then send the paper to the general chairman. Blanks received directly through the mail by the chairman of the general com- mittee and containing pledges of money will be returned to the proper subcommit- tee for collection. Reports of cases of destitution given to canvassers should be forwarded to the chairman of the general committee for reference to the central relief committee. It is the business of the canvassing com- mittee to secure the much needed money and supplies, and to do it as quickly as possible. The members of the committee re therefore not called upon to search out | and investigate cases of destitution, but if any member desires to make a report of such cases, the report will be promptly sent | to the prover committee for attention. Report Cases of Distress. It has been thought that many who give may have information concerning deserving families that would aid the central commit- tee in distributing its money and supplies} in a manner to do the most good. In order to get the benefit of this information the members of the canvassing committee are! provided with printed slips which they leave at houses with the blanks. This slip con- tains the following: “It is the object of the central relief com- mittee to give aid to the many who have been rendered destitute by lack of employ- ment. Many such people shrink from mak- ing their wants known to a public commit- tee. You can assist the committee in its effort to reach those who need relief by re- porting such cases. After noting on your blank what you will give, write on a sepa- rate sheet of paper a statement concerning any family you know to be in need and de- serving, giving the name, residence, number of people in the family and what they most need. Sign this, place it in the same en- velope withthe blank and either mail it to the chairmah of the canvassing committee or hand it to the canvasser. Please attend Promptly to the requests of the canvassers, as the committee want to know within the next six days what resources they will have.” ee BLOCKED THE TRACK. Captare of a Man Who Tried to Wreck ® Washington Train. Michael Burns tried to wreck the Wash- ington express on the Philadelphia, Wil- mington and Baltimore railroad at an early heur on Saturday morning at Crum Lynne, near Wilmington. He was captured by Railroad Detective Gallagher at Gray's Ferry near noon, was brought to Chester yesterday and given a hearing, and held under $5,000 bail for court. Burns confessed that he did the act and gave as his reasons the killing of his wife on the railroad at the Hammond street crossing, Wilmington, two years ago. His story, as told at the police court, is that after the killing of his wife he was given employment on the Philadelphia, Wilming- ton and Baltimore railroad at Wilmington, and worked there until the first of the present month, when he was discharged, since which time he has had no home. On Friday night he applied to the night watch- man at the Market street crossing, Chester, morning, but was refused. This was about midnight. He walked up the track until Crum Lynne was reached, where he saw a pile of iron along side the track, which he piled along side the rail and went on. At the place where the ob- struction was found there is a very deep embankment, and had the train left the track it would have rolled down it. cor - MR.

A petition was presented in the Senate the other day by Mr. Sherman that is cur- jously distinct from his political prin- ciples. It is signed by thirty-seven citizens of Pennsylvania, and prays for smaller sa! aries for government officials. It reads thus: “We, the undersigned, loyal citizens of the United States, do hereby humbly pe- tition your honorable body to pass such laws as will give the most practical relief to your constituents from the present dis- tress whfch we, the people, are enduring. We would respectfully set forth in our pe- tition that the entire nation is involved in bankruptcy and ruin, resulting in good part, as we think, from political extrav: gance of our rulers and from unwise legis- lation. We respectfully set forth that the excessive high salaries which now prevail in all the public offices—county, state and United States—are the result of the era of extravagance inaugurated at the time of the ‘back pay steal and salary grab’ Con- gress of President Grant’s administration. The evil example of that Congress has characterized all the national and state legislation since; and that we believe this has, in good part, necessitated the high protective tariff policy of the republican party, in order to provide revenues to pay these excessive salaries. “We would respectfully set forth that, in order to reform these abuses and give et fect to the patriotism advocated in Pre: ident Cleveland's late message, the present democratic Congress can greatly aid the common people by lifting off our shoulders the oppressive burdens now resting upon us, and because of which all of our indus- tries are paralyzed, occasioning widespread distress throughout the nation. We there-| fore pray your honorable body to restore the salaries of all public officials, from the President of the United States and mem- bers of Congress clear down through the entire civil service, to what they were fore the era of extravagance and misrul thereby setting an example to all of our state legislatures and public officials which, if followed, will restore the civil service of | the people to the golden era of democratic integrity in public office and free trade.’ This petition was referred to*the com- mittee on appropriations, where it is now resting. eee ere THE AIR BAD. Members of Congress Want to Breathe Pure Ozone. The notoriously bad condition of the air in | the hall of the House of Representatives, due, it which has become a subject of general com- plaint on the part of many members lately, has caused the committee on acoustics and ventilation to undertake an investigation of the condition of affairs, with a view to im- provements. Some progress has been made, but the committee has now reached an obstacle. The committee solicited the opinion of Mr. H. A. Gouge of New York, a sanitary ex- pert, who decided that the bad air is due,first, to the method of bringing air into the chamber, and, second, to the fact that foul air ‘has no means of escape. As is well known, the fresh air enters the chamber through the brass grating on the floor on each side of the main aisle and in front of the Speaker's desk. This grating is nothing more nor jess than a cuspidor, for every- body uses it to expectorate in. Mr. Gouge holds that the expectorations thus accu- mulated dry, and that the foulness wf the matter may contaminate the atmosphere which every one breathes. It is possible, according to many scientis' to communi- cate germs of disease in this way. At any rate, it is held, no one wants to breathe air that blows over and through a public cus- pidor. Mr. Gouge proposes to introduce the air at the sides of the chamber. Mr. Gouge’s theory is combated by other authorities whom the committee called upon and who hold that the present plan of ven- tilation is all right. Confzonted with these varying opinions, the committee has called upon the Secretary of the Treasury to de- tail a man from the architect's office to tle the matter, and the committ by his opinion. spats ———_-+- e+_____. THE SITUATION IN HAWAIL. Natives Espousing the Ca we of An- nexation—The Queen Lo: From the New York Sun of today. Mr. Fred. Waterhouse of Honolulu is in the city. Prior to the revolution Mr. Waterhouse’s father was a member of the queen’s privy council, and, though an En- glishman is now a strong annexationist, and stands close to President Dole. In speaking of the various matters of con- cern in the islands at the present time Mr. Waterhouse said: “The latest developments in the islands make it appear to me beyond a question of doubt that the queen will never be restored to the throne. Instead of a growing feel- ing in favor of a restoration the queen is losing strength and among those who have been her warmest followers. As an in- stance of this the Bulletin, an evening pa- per owned entirely by the royalist party, admits that there is no possibility of a re- turn to the old monarchy. The opposition has gone even further. The feeling among most of the natives toward President Cleveland has been that of reverence, as for an all-powerful god, whom they’ ex- pected to save them from what they have believed was to be a most terrible fate. Those of the royalists in control have made the more ignorant of the natives believe that should the provisional government obtain recognized power the natives would be driven to the hills and be beheaded if they dared to show themselves within the city. This is no foolish statement, for such a doctrine is taught openly in the streets of Honolulu today. “When Willis came and demanded of Dole that he give way to royalty it was not supposed among the more ignorant of the natives that any one dared oppose the | will of Cleveland, so blind was their faith in him, and when Dole refused they learn- ed for the first time that there was likely | to be opposition to the restoration of the queen. The result has been that many of the natives have forgotten the queen and openly espouse the cause of annexation. Principal among them is Prince Kunt- aukea, the only real prince of royalty in the islands. He belongs to the old Kame- hameha line, and a man of great in- fluence. Neither Kalakaua nor the ex- queen was of royal blood, and consequently the ex-queen has not the influence she would have otherwise. President Dole is today the most popular man in Hawaii and is well liked, not only by his own party, but by those most bitterly opposed to him. “Claus Spreckels is credited with saying that when he fs in shape to completely control the sugar interests in the islands he will be in favor of annexation. Even the royalists believe that Spreckels is actuated in his course by mere desire to increase his interests in the islands, for with the ignorant natives in power he can, with all his present influence with the que whatever advantages he might w! so ib nian Prominent Men Dead.

Washington being the home of Mr. Carlisie, the suit has to be brought here. Vevernment Otticlals Not Worrted. Although the law officers of the govern- ment decline to discuss the proposed action of the Knights of Labor, it is very appur- | ent that they do not attach much import- ber it is conceded on all sides that the Secretary of the Treasury has full author- ity to issue bonds to protect the gold re- serve and that the only point on which | there can be any doubt is as to his right to apply the proceeds of the sale of the bonds to meeting the current obligations to authority of the Secretary of the Treas- ury to use this money thus obtained for any other purpose than that of the re- demption of greenbacks. Meanwhile ine treasury officials continue |the preparations for the issue of bonds early in February, in accordance with the terms of Secretary Carlisle’s recent circu- lar. The impression at the department is that if Congress does not interfere with | the bond issue, of which there is not much | likelihood, there is nothing to fear from the | courts, #t least until after the bonds have | been issued. Senator, Allen of Nebraska will appear in court In behalf of General Master Sov- | ereign, The request for an injunction will | be based entirely upon two sections of the | tederat statutes, one from the act of 1870 Renee J to the issuing of bonds and the other from the act of January 14, 1575. it is asserted that if such proceedings | were begun they would come before the | Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, ‘and it is doubted if any of the judges would issue an order of injunction. Such a proceeding is without precedent. Even if such proceedings were instituted with suc- cess in the lower courts, they could be ried up on an appeal to the Court of Appeals of the District, and eventually to ; the United States Supreme Court. In view ,of the crowded condition of the calendar of that court the case could not be reached | for a year or more. ——_—-+e+ To Send Negroes to Liberia. A Birmingham, Ala., special says: The International Migration Company, with a capital of $100,000, was incorporated under | the Alabama laws here Saturday by J. L. | Daniels and associates. The company pro- poses to export negroes of the south to} Liberia. It will operate a line of steam. ships between America and Africa. A uni- form fare of $20 will be charged. This will pay for passage and board en route. The company claims to be prepared to furnish abundant homes and employment to the negroes when they reach Africa. The At. rican countries are expected to contribute funds to the company, and Congress will | probably be asked to contribute. Daniels claims he has positive evidence he can get all the emigrants he wants. He is very en- thusiastic about his scheme. | Everything mnected with Butter —churns, pat- ters, tubs, firkins— ought to be washed with Pearline.

Fk a ete aaa AVOIDING WASTE. Mrs. Rorer Preaches Household Econ- omy at the Food Exposition. baugh’s Opera House seems to be growing in favor daily, and commenced its second week this afternoon with a larger attend- ance than at any time since the opening. The afternoon lecture of Mrs. Rorer, the famous cooking demonstrator, has proven such an attraction, and so great has been the desire to hear her, that during the pres- ent week she will give three lectures at night, on Monday, Wednesday end Frida: jevenings. The subjects upon which she discourses, and practically Mlustrates, have wrought a revolution in the cuisine of many Washington homes,for her recipes are calcu- | lated not only to make eating a gastronomi- jcal pleasure, but to reduce dyspepsia and kindred ills to a minimum. This afternoon Mrs. Rorer chose for her Subject “What to do with ‘Left Overs.’ She constructed elaborate croquettes and |pillans from the meats left over from the previous lectures, and garnished them with | tomato and horseradish sauces. The last |mamed was a veritable dream. Compara- | Uvely a new sauce, in the hands of Mrs. Rorer, it became an epicurean delight. The \lecturer prefaced her remarks by stating that “left overs” formed the most im- | portant factor of the Kitchen, and that to properly utilize them to prevent waste was | the first thought of every good housewife. | She asserted that food prepared from “‘left | over” articles was more healthy than if {eaten when originally cooked, and quoted }an eminent English physician to the effect |that meats should always be warmed the | second time, | Tonight Mrs. Rorer will give her first | evening lecture on a “Dinner for Four Per- |Sons to Cost $1." She promises a menu | that will be a marvel of quantity, quality and cheapness. |The concerts of the Royal Hungarian | Band are growing in popularity, and have become features of the exposition. A more than usually attractive musical program has been prepared, and on alternate even- ings the numbers will be selections from the more noted Hungarian composers. Tonight the éntire receipts will be do- nated to the Emergency Hospital, so that those who attend wil] not only get their money's worth in the tractions of the exposition, but will aid a local charitable institution. : as eee A Clubman’s Wager. A young clubman, Emil C. Pfeiffer of Boston, has made a wager that he will | travel around the world in six months, starting without a stitch of clothing or a dollar, and return with $5,000. On the day set for the word “Go” he must repair to the clubhouse and strip to the skin.

By little services of this kind he hopes to earn enough to buy a suit.
