A GRADUAL FALLING OFF Demands Upon the Oharity Organizations Becoming Leas Urgent. The Character of the People Who Have Sought Aid and the Effect on Them. The charity snow carts are just working hard today to get the snow and ice out of the streets before it all melts and gets away from them. Thirty non-resident men who smuggled themselves into the force were laid off this morning, and there were 150 applicants gathered in a throng about the doors of the committee rooms on Louisiana avenue at 7 o'clock this morn- ing, ready to take the vacant places. All day applications straggled in, and a score came by letter from people who had some particular case of need which they wanted to recommend for help by employment. The committee took down names, but gave no encouragement to these applicants. They answer all such by saying that no change will be made in the force as it stands. The committee met at 1 o'clock today to consider this matter, but no definite action was taken. A small pile of clothing remains in the committee room, but it consists of garments set apart for special cases in charge of the police, and it will be distributed today and tomorrow. The Soup Kitchens. The committe sent 200 loaves of bread to the East Washington soup kitchen today, which was the only distribution of food made. The soup Kitchen on Louisiana avenue opened its doors as usual today ard fed 900 people. The authorities say the work of patching the asphalt on Penn- slyvania avenue, which began this morn- ing, gives employment to the heads of about thirty families that have been de- pendent on charity during a part of the winter. There was a tats, Shc applicants for help at the Central Union Mission rooms at noon and quite a crowd at the central office of the Associated Charities all day. Supplies were given out sparingly. Some of the Poor. The misdemeanors of some of the poor who have sought ald or have secured em- ployment on the charity force should not prejudice the public against helping those who deserve assistance. There are several old men handling a shovel this week on the streets who never did such work or anything like it before. There have been many helped this winter who only a year or two ago enjoyed good salaries in the public service. One young fellow who has worked for his board at one of the aid bureaus graduated at Yale not so very many years ago. He is an athletic, good- looking, gentlemanly young man, who s0 far in the battle of life, as the boys say, hasn't been it. He is grateful for what he has had a chance to earn, and hopes to make his luck stand up and go alone some good day coming. Brought Back the Money. An incident occurred yesterday which shows that there is trong sense of honor in those who are helped. A poor colored woman in South Washington asked the police some days ago for a coat or shawl to keep her warm when she went out to work for her children. They gave her an old man’s coat, in pretty good order, and while not exactly the style for @ woman, it probably suited her quite as well or better than the best sort of a woman’s cloak. She took the garment and went about her work. Yes- terday she came back to say that she had forgot at first to look prone the pockets, but when she did so yesterday morning she had found a ‘dollar bill in the ticket pocket. She handed it over, saying it must belong to the man who gave the coat to the police. There was no way of finding who gave the coat, and it was inferred that the giver had intended the dollar to go with the coat, so the woman was told to keep it, and she went away very thank- ful for her good fortune. Finery Not Wanted. “One thing,” said a lady at headquarters today, “should be preached good and strong to people who are giving clothing to the poor this winter, and that is not to give finery to the colored people. A woman came to me the other day wringing her hands, crying with the cold and beg- ging most piteously for food. And on her head she had some fashionable woman's discarded hat that cost $10 at least. Plumes a foot long stuck up straight on top of it, and waved about in a way to make her and her story of distress simply laughable. A man’s old slouch hat would have been far better for her. “Another thing—everybody next summer should try to teach these people to be provident. They witli earn enough to buy clothing, fuel and food for winter, and then spend it on sweetmeats and finery. My servant girl insists on buying garments and working in dresses that she thinks make her a lady. What she and all our working women should wear is a good, piain, serviceable peasant garb befitting Pheir worl Just then a lady came in and said she knew a young colored woman who wag working out to support a sick mother, and this girl needed a cloak of some sort. A cloak was brought out—a pretty nearly new garment, nicely trimmed. “Oh, that would never dol” exclaimed the lady. “Why, that would just spoil this girl for- ever. She would be wearing that cloak out nights to make a show around among her young friends, and forget all about her sick mother. I’ve had trouble enough to get her down to steady work. Please hunt out something just a little plain or rag- ged, but, at the same time, decent and re- spectable.” And this was done, to the gratification of all present, and doubtless for the well- being of the beneficiary of their kindness. —_-——_ WATER MAIN ASSESSMENTS. Decided to Be Invalid Where Season- able Notice Was Not Given. In rendering his decision in the cases of Burgdorf and others against the Dis- trict of Columbia, Chief Justice Bingham yesterday held that assessments against real estate for the laying of water mains are invalid where notice was not given to interested land owners until after the im- provements or assessments had been made, The cases were fully argued on the 26th of last month, and the points mentioned by Chief Justice Bingham and several others were insisted upon by the counsel for the plaintiffs, Messrs, A. A. and T, W. Birney and Gen. Wm, Birney. But Judge Bing- ham, following the decision of the Court of Appeals in the matter of the construo- tion of sewers and the laying of sidewalks, gutters and curbing, holds that the want of sufficient previous notice suffices. The Court of Appeals, he declares, held that before the property of a citizen could be taxed for the purpose of paying for an improvement upon the jumed ground that it was beneficial to fim and his prop- erty to the extent of taxation, there must have been given him “seasonable notice.” Such notice, the court explains, is for the purpose of enabling the citizen to appear and resist, if he so desires, the making of the contemplated improvement, and a notice given after the improvements had been ordered and completed, and after the making of the assessments, is a notice given too late to sustain the assessments. Therefore, explained Chief Justice Bing- ham, in those cases where such tardy notice is given the assessment is invalid and void, and neither the property nor owner can be held responsible. Judge Bingham held that the redsoning and conclusions of the Court of Appeals can be equally well applied to the laying of water mains, holding that it is not enough for the District authorities to themselves decide without reasonable notice to all in- terested land owners that the laying of a water main is a necessary improvement, and then, making the improvement, an- nounce that the property has been assessed therefor. Explaining that he could nét dis- tinguish such a case from those decided by the Court of Appeals, the judge held that the plaintiffs are entitled to the judgments prayed for, the amount of the illegally made assessments, and directed judgments to be entered accordingly. It is understood that in the cases in bar, and in those which will undoubtedly follow, several hundred thousand dollars are in- volved, and that the District may have another chance to save such a great loss, an appeal to the Court of Appeals will be, it is said, taken by the District, Ce a THH FIDELITY CASsB. The Auditor to Determt: as to the ‘Two Associations. Upon the petition of Receivers L. Cabell Williamson and Leonard H. Poole of the Fidelity Building, Loan and Investment Association, Judge Cox today referred the case to the auditor of the court. The ay- ditor is instructed to examine the books, records, accounts and papers of the asso- ciation and of the Fidelity Building and Loan Association, together with such other evidence as may be produced before him, to ascertain and report to the court wheth- er the two associations are the same or different ones. If he finds that they are different organizations, the auditor is in- structed to state and report the accounts between them. To facilitate the examina- tion, Receiver G. Hatley Norton of the Fi- delity Building and Loan Association is ordered to produce before the auditor, when- ever called upon by him, all records, corre- spondence and papers in his (Norton's) pos- session, including those, if any, which he may have removed from the jurisdiction of the court. —_————— Death of Col.
