Brackett Gives an . Interesting Talk. Upon the invitation of Mr. F. L. Mocre of the board of trade committee on chari- ties, a number of those here interested in charitable work met at the board of trade rooms at 4:15 yesterday afternoon, to meet Mr. Jeffrey R. Brackett of Baltimore, Md., and listen to a description by Mr. Brackett of the work of the Charity Organization Society of the monumental city. Among those who attended were Messrs. Simon Woif, John F. Cook, Professor Janney of Georgetown, Mr. L. S. Emery, secretary of the Associated Charities; Dr. M. D. Peck, Miss Katherine Hosmer of the Civic Cen- ter, Miss Spofford, Mrs. Stowell of the board of school trustees, and Mr. H. B. Macfarland. Mr. Moore explained that he had found that very many were agreed that the locai charitable work, for a number of years. had not been what it should have been, and it occurred to him that those interested glad to hear the Baltimore sys- ich he thought very highly. He convetsational man- rer for half an hour or so of the work of the Baltimore society. Two Classes. As in all other cities, Mr. Brackett ex- plained, two classes seeking relief were found in Baltimore—the resident poor and the transfents. There was no organized system of relief in Baltimore until the es- tablishment of the Charity Organization Seciety In 1881. Until then the city an- nually appropriated money for the trans- portation of the poor. The éunds were dis- bursed by the mayor's secretary, and, as an iliqstration of the good work his so- ciety has done, Mr. Brackett read a letter written by the mayor's secretary in 1890, to the effect that the work of the society had saved from 30 to 40 per cent of the fund. Replying to a question of Mr. Moore, Mr. Brackett said the Baltimore society is sup- ported entirely by voluntary subscriptions. It was the only office in Baltimore dealing with transients. For the benefit and relief of the resident poor are many very effective and worthy charitable societies, such as the Hebrew Society, the King’s Daughters, th various churches and so on. ek Few men, said Mr. Brackett, will ‘work if offered food without it, and his soclety sougnt in every way to discourage and prevent the establishment of soup houses and similar institutions, for the society holds that it 1s far better to encourage in- dustry among those seeking assistance than to feed them in idleness. The soup house system {is an injurious one, he be- lieved, and not infrequently those who es- tablished them discontinued them when made acquainted in the matter, and then gave the poor the benefit of their efforts in other more enduring and substantial ways. The Baltimore society, Mr. Brack- ett further said, has one central office and seven district offices. It belleves in pay- ing good salaries, and thereby securing efficient and reliable officers. So the gen- eral secretary, a woman, is paid $1,800 an- nually, and the seven district agents be- tween $400 and $500, Finding Employment. Mr. Simon Wolf inquiring whether the so- ciety does anything to prevent paup2rism, Mr. Brackett stated that the society has some 400 volunteers from the churches, charitable societies and the like who do whatever they possibly can to find employ- ment for the poor, and last year permanent employment was found for 1,200 persons and temporary employment for 1,000. Mr. Wolf then stated that the Washington Hebrew Society this year rendered such effective aid to eighty-four applicants as to make them no longer dependent. In fact, not a few of them are now donors to the relief of others. The system employed by the Hebrew Society here, said Mr. Wolf, was that instead of giving an applicant a dollar or two, the society advanced him funds to iness with, and not less than ner indicated by Mr. Wolf, and that about a third of the loans were repaid. When the society removed transients from Baltimore, Brackett, they were not loaded on ies, but they were sent invariably to places where employment was awaiting them, and, replying to an inquiry from Mr. Moore, he said he regretted to state that the District has in the past unloaded paupers on Baltimore. Last year, continued Mr. Brackett, the Baltimore society referred 18,000 applica- tions for aid. It disbursed $9,278.49, mostly in salaries and office expenses. Some eighty- five pers had been placed in various in- stitutions, 138 families were made self. porting, 9,311 visits to the poor had made and 52 impostors had been expo: No General Fund. society, explained Mr. Ais Brackett, dces not believe in having a general relivf fund, experience teaching it that such a fund increased rather than decreased pau- perism. It is far better, thought the so- clety, soc! esk ance of intelligent, industrious yoluntec! was indispensable, said Mr. Brackett, al- though he regretted that the spirit of co- operation in Baltimore was not yet all it should be. to interest persons, churches and les in true charitable work than to them for contributions. The assis! Mr. Brackett complimented the colored people of Baltimore, stating that they gave very little trouble, caring, in a great de- gree, for their own poor and needy ones. He closed his remarks by describing the working of the district system, that the majority of them are kept open the year round, and that the great work of the society is to establish such relations between it and the poor as will so bene! them as to render them, in time, self-sus- stating taining and useful members of society. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Brackett’s talk, Mr. Moore, on behalf of those pres- ent, assured him that they had been deeply Interested, and were ver grateful to him. — Launching of the Cruisers. Two new cruisers will be launched at the ship yards at Newport News Saturday. They are the Wilmington and the Nash ville, and it is expected that a number of distinguished personages will witness the launching. The Newport News, one of the steamers of the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Company, will be used as a spe- cial boat to carry the members of the cabi- net, their families and a number of invited guests to the scene. Among the latter will be the mayor of Nashvilie and a number of well-known citizens of Washington. The ngten will be christened by Miss daughter of Senator Gray of Dela- while that oftice will be performed ware, for the Nashville by the daughter of the mayor of that city. The Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Compeny will run treir regular boat, leav- ing Washington at 7 o'clock, around to Newport News, after landing at Norfoik, in order to give those who desire to t: the trip frcm this city for that purpose an opportunity to see the launching. a Where Seeing is Better Than Deserib- ing.

Everything is in readiness for the com- mencement of the work of placing the Con- nett underground electric system on the main branch of the Metropolitan Railroad Company from 36th street in Georgetown to 15th street northeast, and by Monday Contractor Edward Saxton will have a large force of laborers engaged in excavat- ing and laying the conduit. Mr. Saxton is the builder of all the underground electric and cable conduits in this city and Balti- more, as well as a number elsewhere, and will place experienced men at work, under the direction of well-trained subcontractors and overseers. The work will be commenc- ed at 15th street east, and will be pushed as rapidly as possible. The yokes and rails have already been distributed from the starting. pgint to the Baltimore and Ohio depot, ani the tool’ chests are being dis- tributed along the route today. Contractor Saxton expects to put down about twelve hundred feet of conduit a day after the work gets into smooth running order. The same system of construction in every de- tail and particular that characterized the laying of the underground system on th street will be continued on F street. The line from Lincoln Park to 9th street north- west will-be placed in operation as soon as it is completed, receiving its power from the now unused dynamo at the 4 1-2 street power house. By the time the remainder of the road is completed and the equipment extended to the Georgetown terminus ev- erything will be in readiness for operation, although the source whence the electricity for this portion will be gotten has not yet been decided on. The short line from 9th to 7th street near Boundary will be elec- trically equipped in a few days, and the cars on the 9th street line run through to upper 7th street. —_—__ WORKING FOR THE MISSIONS. Officers Choxen by the Society of the M. EL reh South. After the close of the report of yester- day's proceedings of the Woman's Mission- ary Soclety of the Methodist Episcopal Church South in The Star of last evening, the society elected officers for the ensuing year as follo’ President, Mrs. A. H. Strother of Baltimore; vice president, Mrs. J. T. Williams of Alexandria, Va.; cor- responding secretary, Mrs. W. H. Bieler of Middleburg, Va.; recording secretary, Miss Nina Wilson of Baltimore; treasurer, Miss Virginia S. Massie of Fairfax county, Va. The retiring president, Mrs. Brown of Mid- dleburg, Va., declined a re-election on ac- count of advancing age. Her successor, Mrs. Strother, has been fot some years cor- responding secretary of the society, and in that capacity has become familiar with the general wants of the missionaries in all the foreign fields. She has paid special atten- tion to the raising of funds for the educa- tion of young women for work in the for- eign fields, and being able to present the claims of the work in an attractive manner, has ralsed many hundreds of dollars for the cause. The society has now under its care, at its exclusive expense, two pupils at the Scarritt Bible and ‘Training School, Kansas City, Mo., each of whom requires during the four years’ course an expenditure of about $1,000, all of which has heretofore been secured through Mrs. Strother’s ef- fort: Mrs. J. T. Williams, the new vice presi- dent, is the wife of the pastor of the M. E. Charch South at Alexandria, Va., and is a woman of rare executive ability and busi- ness tact, and is as well a good speaker. She has been engaged in church work for a number of years, and during this period has been at all times a warm friend of the missionary caus Miss Nina Wilson is a daughter of Bishop Alpheus Wiison. Bishop Wilson's en- tire family are engaged in missionary work. ‘The opinion expressed among the mem- bers of the society was that they have more responsibilities to bear during the coming year, than ever before, and it was their kop2 that the members of the church generally throughout the bounds of the Raltimore confe-ence will realize this fact and come to their aid. Letters read from missionaries and teachers showed that there is much need for clothing of every description among those under their care. The evening session was principally de- voted to a memorial service to the late Juliana Hayes of Baltimore, for years president of the general so- y. Mrs. Hayes died a few months ago and her funeral was one of the most not- able that ever took place in Baltimore, the services being attended by several bish- eps end ministers of all denominations. At last night ng addresses referring to her many good deeds were made by Rev. J. O. Knott, pastor of Epworth M. E. Church South, this city, and other min- isters. ee THE INQUEST. Probable Natural Causes Brought Death to John Sanford. : As announced in The Star, Deputy Cor- cner Glazebrook late yesterday afttrnoon made an amopsy on the remains of John M. Sanford, who Gied October 10, under what were claimed to be suspicious cir- cumstances. Dr. Glozebrook discovered that Sanferd had been in a far from healthy condition. A well-developed case of fatty degeneration of the heart was ap- parent, the kidneys were affected and the stomach and entrails inflamed and diseased. In the opinion of Dr, Glazebrook death was due to natural causes. A chemical examination of the stomach and intestines and their contents is to be made, however, and for that purpose the organs menticned were placed in a jar, hermetically sealed and sent to Mr. Hird, the chemist for the District. Nothing fur- ther in the way of investigation will be made until the report of the chemist 1s made, which cannot be fcr several days. Mrs. Emeline Young, a sister of the de- ceased, has received a communication from Mrs. Rosa,Sanford, who, it is said, married Sanford yéars ago and was never divorced. In the létter wife No. 1 expressed surprise to learn of the second marriage of her hus- tand, and stated that she would come to this city at once.

Delegates Going: Fgom Here to At- lanta—Mr. Roi ington Fasored as 2 Site. Capt. J. M. Hickey leaves Washington this evening for Atlante om a mission of no in- considerable interest to the city. He goes as a delegate to nepresent the Confederate Veterans’ Association of the District of Co- lumbia in the meeting to be held in Atlanta the 18th instant of a committee composed of a delegate from each confederate veterans’ camp, to discuss and formulate plans for the location and erection of a memoriat hall and battle abbey, to be devoted to the in- terests of ex-confederate soldiers and the historical aspect of the civil war. The idea of the erection of such a building, which has been under advisement for some years, has materialized into the appointment of a committee to put the movement upon an actual basis, At the last reunion of the United Confeder- ate Veterans, held at Houston, Tex., the long agitation of the question was brought to a practical point by a letter from Mr. Charles B. Rouss, now a resident of New York city, a native of Winchester, Va., and a private in the confederate army, offering to donate $100,000 toward the erection of a home, memorial hall and battle abbey at some place to be determined by the veterans. Mr. Rouss is known for his interest in char- itable and Philanthropic work. Notwith- standing the fact that he has lost his eye- sight, he takes the keenest interest in what- ever pertains to the development of the south’s resources. He believes many latent historical facts about the war can be crys- talized and recorded and much charitable work encompassed by the establishment of a great temple of the kind as suggested. Acting upon this belief, he offered to make the donation, as stated, provided the ex-con- federates will do their part, which proposi- tion was accepted, and it is proposed to se- cure at least $500,000 to carry out the plan. The problem of location, however, prom- ises to be a troublesome one to solve. A number of cities have come forward with ofters of sites, buildings, donations, et: toward securing the prize, ranging in lat! tude from New Orleans to New York city, but it appears from surface indications that in the end the real fight will be be- tween Kichmond and Washington. Some of the far south cities, such as New Or- leans, Montgomery, Atlanta, &c., will make hard fights and present arrays of luring inducements, but Richmond having been the capital of the confederate states, with {ts southern white house, has largely the advantage from a sentimental point of view. Many, however, believe that such an institution as proposed should be lo- cated In Washington. While Mr. Rouss himself has not openly said as much, a close friend of his, in speaking to an attache of The Star (though not speaking for him), in regard to the matter, said-he knew.Mr. Rouss was most favorably impressed with Washington for two reasons, first, its location at the na- tioral capital would effectually forestall any local or sectional aspect, and secondly, in this city it would be visited and known and assisted by thousands to hundreds if located elsewhere. Aside from many other considerations favorable to this city, Washington's chances of securing the building are enhanced by its being the second:choice of nearly all those who favor, primarily, their own cities. This has been clearly manifested by rec-nt developments. Furthermore, two:sites have already been offered—as a donation—one a square in the northwestern suburbs, the other a lot two hundred feet square in the neighborhood of Holmead Manor. The matter has been dis- cvssed by numbers of business men, some of whom are on’ the board of trade, and all of whom have manifested great interest in a scheme that would be so largely bene- ficial to Washington, and have promised practical assistance. Altogether, the chances of Washington securing the contemplated site are bright. The Confederate Veterans’ Association here has not been.ddle, and Capt. Hickey leaves tonight well equipped to make a streng and attractive showing. He will be accompanied by Dr. 8. E. Lewis as an as- sistant, and they will be Joined at Atlanta by Maj. Albert Akers. It is not probable that this meeting will come to a definite conclusion, but its progress will, at all events, be sufficient, no doubt, to make it possible to tell what the decision will finally be. ———___ For an Accounting.

The arrests were made after the officers had received word that an attempt had been made to “hold-up” two merchants near the Baltimore and Ohio depot. “These men,” said the officer, “gre strang- ers in the city and do not work for their living. There are lots of them in the city, and it’s people of this class who are com- mitting many of the petty robberies about the city. During the day and evening they spend their time about cheap liquor saloons, and at night they sleep in the 10-cent lodg- ing houses along 1st street at the foot of the Capitol.” “Where are the gentlemen who made the complaints?” Judge Kimball asked. “hey went to Baltimore and will not re- turn until tomorrow,” the officer answered. The prisoners Kenney and Foster were 3 ot mentioned in connection with the other three, and the court heard what they had to say. “I live in New York,” said Foster, “andam on my way home from Atlanta, where I went to look for work.” He said that while riding in a box car a man cut his arm with a knife. “And what about you?” Kenney was asked. “I am from Chicago,” he answered. “What are you doing here?” “I went to Atlanta to look for work,” he answered, ‘‘and now I am on my way home.” “You selected a long route,” said the judge. “Why did you come here?” “I didn’t want to go home in this cond!- tion,” he answered, “and I thought by com- ing here I might better my condition.” Judge Kimball took their personal bonds to leave the city and told them that the next time they are caught they will be sent down.
