MONEY, FOOD AND CLOTHING NEEDED The Cold Wave Has Brought Ad- Suffering. ditional SOME SAMPLE CASES To the people of the District of Colum- bia, who have neve- failed to make liberal respense in times of need, the central re- lief ccmmittee appeals for prompt contri- butions to relieve the suffering which now prevails in the city of Washington. Chang- ed industrial. conditions have forced into the ranks of the unemployed, hungry and cold, hundreds who have never before been pirched by lack of the necessaries of life. Freezing weather now intensifies their suf- fering; starvation and death by freezing threaten today many a home. The char- itable institutions of the city are utterly unable to meet the exigency. Their ac- cumvlated funds are already exhausted, and they are relieving as best they can with the varying contributions received from day to day a fraction of the suffering to which their attention is directed. With no less of local want and distress to be met than at the corresponding period of last year, the funds at hand for charitable relief are smaller than at that time by about $10,000. In fact, there is no fund now available for immediate relief. There- fore the central committee urges upon the benevolent and beneficent of Washington to contribute liberally and to contribute at once. A systematic canvass of the city will soon be made, but do not wait for that. Men, women or children may starve or freeze before the proceeds of this canvass, however promptly cenducted, will be avail- able. Contributions of food, fuel and clothing will be received at the distributing head- quarters of the central relief committee in the building of the Central Union Mission, or, upon notification of a desire to con- tribute, the committee will send for sucl: articles. Money contributions are invited through any of the local newspapers, or they may be sent direct to the treasurer of this committee, viah Wilkins, Post building. Cc. C. Cole, president; Miss H. B.

Warner, Lawrence Gardner, Theo- dore W. Noyes, C. G. Conn and John G. Slater. Added Suffering From the Cold Wave. The cold wave reached here yesterday morning all right according to the prom- ises of the weather bureau. As a cold wave it was a success of generous pro- pertions, for such a sudden and complete change in temperature has not been seen here before this winter. Coming as it did right on top ef such a long stretch of rainy and disagreeable weather it served to clear up the atmosphere, but at the same time it has brought in its train an immense amount of added suffering to peo- ple whose coal bins and larders are bare and removed from all likelihood of being replenished in the near future. ‘The change came very suddenly yester- day morning, and the result was that yes- terday was one of the coldest days of the winter, the mercury going down to 6 de- grees, a point only reached once before. All those who had warm sitting rooms and pleasant grate fires developed a strong taste for staying home, and the streets were comparatively deserted. The bottom limit of the cold wave was not long in passing over, however, and already the weather prognosticators give promise of better things. Today has been rather pleasant in the matter of temperature, while the bright sunlight and the absence of wind has made it seem warmer than {t really has been. The predictions, too, are for warmer weather, with southerly winds. For the hundreds of people in this city to whom cold weather means added suffering it was a tremendous hardship, that cold wind of yesterday morning and Sunday was a day they will long remember with |a feeling of horror. To these the prob- | ability of a let-up in the cold snap will be good news. Applicants for Aswistance. It has been a very busy day at the head- quarters of the Associated Charities and the Central Union Mission. At each there have been far more applicants for assist- ance than could possibly be attended to, ard many of the helpless ones told pitjful stories of suffering, of little children who were without food and with not enough bed clothing to keep them warm last night. ‘The men and women who are charged with the distribution of assistince have been as generous as they could, realizing that at such a time as this the needs of the poor are greatly enhanced. So it is that many a barren home has been cheered with presents of coal and food in cases that must otherwise have gone unrelleved. To chronicle in anything like detail the cases of suffering that are daily reported to these two headquarters cf charity would fill columns of the newspapers. The very crowd of people who hang about the duors of these two buildings waiting their turn make a picture of grim distress that is more than enough to appeal to any heart. At the Central Union Mission today there were so many men seeking refuge from the cold that the reading and sitting rooms were crowded to their fullest capaciiy, while some could not gain admission and were compelled to stand outside the doors fn cold and hungry groups, waiting a chance to get in and sit down. In the big rocm where groceries and provisions are distributed to those whose stories and eppeals hav2 been Investigated the long benches were filled with a motley coliec- tion made up for the most part of women who had their baskets with them in the hope of getting something to carry back to hungry little ones at home. Some Sample Cases of Need. Among the cases that have been relieved within the past few days are a number that are marked by features that make them particularly hard. One man who was given enough to last him for two or three days was a young fellow who was form- erly in government employ. He lost his position, and finally took to driving a cart to support his wife and little child. He is a sober and industrious man, but some weeks ago he was thrown from his cart and run over. He only got out of the hos- pital last week, out of werk, and to find his family in the most desperate straits. In his crippled condition he could not do much for their support, even if he could find employment, and they would starve were it not for help that has been ten- dered them. In his datly rounds one of the visitors of the mission has come upon a very hard case. It fs that of a woman in South Washington, whose husband is In the hos- pital at present, and who has been out of work for a long time past. She has six children, the youngest of them four years of age. The eldest is a young man, but, so far from being a help to his mother, he is an idiot, and an additional trouble and expense. The family are in absolutely des- titute circumstances, and what little the woman has been able to earn by washing | and doing odd jobs has nowhere near suf- ficed to keep them In food. Another family in South Washington, which has been tem- | porarily relieved, consists of a man ‘and his | wife, with four children. The husband, though a hard-working man, can get noth- ing to do, and has not been able to earn a it In weeks past. There was no food or | fuel In the house, and scarcely enough clothing to hide the nakedness of the little ones, much less to keep them warm. One in Georgetown. A pitiful case of poverty and want was discovered Saturday on upper 35th street. The femily, consisting of a forsaken wife and five small children, was found to be in the most distressing ccndition through the absence not only of food, but fuel and clothes. Their want was made known this way: Rent had gotten sadly in arrears, and no prospect of receiving any in the future was visible. The agent was pressed by the landlord, and he had called in the constable, after having served the usual notice. The constable went to the little shanty of the woman to eject her. The scene there was so desolate and pinching want so noticeable that constable though he was, he ‘refused to do his duty. The agent wes notified of the reason. He had not known personally of the case, and he investigated. The misery of the mother and haif-clad children was so apparent that he sought the owner of’ the hevse and asked him to let up for a while. The owner investigated and gladly consented. Then the real estate office force set about to temporarily reiieve the discressed. Some groceries were bought, some money given the mother, and one of the charitable organi%ations was petitioned to send fuel. One particularly miserably clad of the children, a bright little chap, was taken down by one of the charitable and bought a coat. On the way he told plaintively of how his mother had broken up his sled to use for firewood on one of the previous cold nights. The woman at- tempts to support herself and children through washing end doing cdd jobs. Her husband, a worthless fellow, has deserted her several times.

A Good Suggestion. A letter received by the editor of The Star today, inclosing $5 for the relief of the poor, contains also the germ of an idea which, on the face of it, is a most excel- lent one. In the course of the letter the writer expresses himself as follows: “I would like to make a suggestion to you which I think will help you in carry- ing on your noble work of relieving the distress in the city, Would it not be a good idea to keep the children interested in giv- ing their old clothes and shoes? Many a parent would be only too glad to give such things if they were reminded by their own children of the poverty and suffering of some one else's child. “My own little boy has had his sympathy aroused by being told of how many chil- dren there are who do not have enough to eat or clothes to keep them warm. He constantly asks his mother to give some article of his own to help the poor. Bless Scrofulous Taints | Lurk in the blood of almost every one. In many cases they are inherited.
