A FRESH START New Constitution Drawn Up for the Associated Charities. TTS FEATURES DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT ————— Purposes and Methods of Work of the Organization. THE NEW SECRETARY > . The Associated Charities of the District of Columbia last eveniny held an session of the annul meeting cf November 7, the principal business transacted being the consideration of a proposed new consti- tution. Mr. Moore pre: The proposed new con prepared by a com appointed f purpose, was then read by the chair Miss Katharine Hosmer. It state1 the ob- jects and methods of this society as follow First: To promote efficient cu-operati between the municipal authorities, the pub- lic and private charities, the churches 2 the benevolent individuals of the Di thus preventing the overlapping of relief caused by Independent avtion. Second: To establish such a system of visiting and inquiry as shall msure accurate knowledge of the condition of each applicant tor relief. Third: To obtain from the proper chari- ties and charitable individuals suitable and adequate relief in cases of actual 1 d in all possible cases to make empl the basis of relief. Fourth: To supplement material aid hy friendly visiting, which shall gradually build up habits of Industry, saving and self-control among the less fortunate, and to this end to organize a body of volunteer visitor: Fifth: To promote the welfare of the really needy, by the exposure of deliberate imposture and fraud. Other articles provided that the members of the society shall consist of all persons who have subscribed to its funds during the year the sum of $5 or more, and all friendly visitors and members of division confer- ences. There shall be a president, six vice presi- dents cr more, a secretary and a treasurer, to be elected by the members of the society annually. ‘The board of managers shall consist of the District Commissioners, the health of- ficer, the major and superintendent of po- lice and not iess than fifteen or more tha twenty members, to be elected by the so- ciety at its annual meeting. The board elected at the meeting of 1895 shall divide itself into two classes, to serve, respective- ly, one and two years. The board shall elect a chairmen from their own number, and shall have power to fill vacancies in the board or among the officers of the so- ciety. Their meetings shall be at stated periods, to be fixed by the by-laws, oy whenever called by the chairman, The board of managers shall, from time to time, est blish division conferences of not less the : ten members each, prefer- ably residents of the division, and shall elect a chairman for the same. It shall elect a chairman for the same. They shall make such reports to the central office, or executive committee as the board of man- agers may require, and they may, if deemed expedient, establish division offices. The Annual Dues. Rev. J. H. Bradford stated that he con- sidered $5 too large an amount for annual dues, adding that public sympathy is necessary to the success of the Assoclated Charities, and that it could not be secured if the dues were raised. Mr. Davis expressed himself in favor of high dues for any good organization, but Mr. Emery declared that more members and active workers would be secured by having the dues remain as at present, $2 per year. Miss Hosmer explained that In recom- mending the increase the committee had in view the desire of the society to secure as voters persons who take a warm inter- est In the work. Those willing to pay $5 would surely fill the requirements. No definite conclusion was reached on the question. A long discussion followed regarding the proposed new constitution, particularly as to substituting “to be nominated by res dents of the division” for “preferably res dents of the division,” in article 7 Dr. Bradford finally suggested that competent lawyers be consulted to pass on the stabil- ity of the constitution as drawn up. Mr. Voorhis was appointed legal counsellor of the board, and instructed to request Jus- tices Cox and Hagner, both members of the Associated Charities, to exa‘nine the draft, and give an opinion on it. Action will be taken on the proposed constitution three weeks hence. The society then ad- journed. The Directors. A meeting of the board of directors pre- ceded the meeting of the society. At the directors’ meeting a letter from the new general secretary, Mr. George S. Wilson, was read, stating that he would report and assume the duties of the office December 1. Rey. Dr. Parsons made a motion, as fol- lows: “I move that we place on record our a preciation of the services of Mr. L. Emery, the secretary of the Associated Charities for the past thirteen years. His knowledge of the field and his fidelity to the work have been such as to command our united admiration.” The motion was unanimously carried. The other business transacted by the board was of a routine nature. Modernizing Methods. Mr. Woodward of the board of managers said to a Star reporter: ei “The movement to recrganize the Asso- elated Charities aims to bring the assocla- tion into line with the most approved methods which have stood the test of ex- perience In New York, Boston, Cincinnatt and Baltimore for years. The modern idea of charity Is by no means summed up in the words ‘giving alms,’ and: this differ- ence between the old and the new definitions of charity leads to much confusion in the minds of many. The new idea does not, as its erftics contend, ‘exclude giving of relief. On the contrary, it gives a great deal, but as the agent and not the source of material aid. In other words, the Asso- clated Charities should organize a body of workers, one paid agent for each district appointed, and as large a force as possibie of volunteer visitors. “Each visitor ts asked to look after two femilies perhaps, to ascertain their real ccndition, to report upon it and to procure for them from a church or a relief society or a charitable person what they really need; then the visitor is to keep up the knowledge of the case, try to provide work for them, to encourage them by friendly visits, to stir if possible their ambition, to se: that the children go to school, that the mother perhaps learns how to use her re- sources better, ete. It is the object to pre- vent the vistior and the agent from being regarded as a source of revenue. The bus- iress of the central office is to keep in touch with every district, to record every case and its history, such record to be ac- cessible only to those who have a right to nuke use of it. In so perfectly organized an office as that of Baltimore any case sent to the central or the district offices is re- perted upon in forty-eight hours, and if it be sent marked ‘urgent’ it is looked into within twenty-four hours. “It Is sometimes objected that there ts so much red tape in the process that people may starve while being investigated; but no emergency case of that kind is allowed to suffer. While the money asked for is solely for the administrative machinery, it 4s a fact, proved by figures Baltimore ard elsewhere, that a relief-giving society spends more in giving away a dollar (for every charitable society recognizes the necessity of investigation in some meas- ure) than a charity organization society does in making itself the channel between the really needy and the really charitable. The New Secretary. Great interest Is taken in the coming uf Mr. Geo. S. Wilscn, the recently elected general secretary, and hundreds of per- sons are wondering what sort of a looking man he is. A cut made from his latest pho- tograph, taken a fortnight ago, is presented herewith. Mr. Wilson, until called to this city, was the general secretary of the Asso- clated Charities of Toledo, Ohio. He is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, and took a special course of instruction at that institution. He went to Cincinnati on a scholarship to study the social conditions of cities. He remained in Cincinnati for some time, and is said to Have accomplished ex- cellent work there. For the past year he has been in Toledo, and from all reports has Secretary o. S, Wilson. given perfect satisfaction. The Toledo press has commended him on various occasions, and at the recent conference of the Ohio state charities, Mr. Wilson read a paper that cted much notice. He is credited with sing tact and enthusiasm, and Is said to be the best available man for the position in the field. As stated, Mr. Wilson will reach Washirgton December 1, and imme- diately thereafter enter upon the duties of the office. The amount of his salary has been fixed at $1,500. aie IUSEMENTS. Academy of Music.—That the “legitt- mate” is popular when well presented is proved by the fact that Mr. Chas. B. Han- ferd and his associate stars drew another well-filled house at the Academy of Music last night. The play was Sheridan Knowles’ ‘Virginius,” in which, although the fire and action is concentrated in the Roman father, the sympathy of the audi- erce {is entirely enlisted in his beautiful but fated daughter Virginia, Miss O'Brien made a charming maiden, her youth and beauty fully fitting her for the part, and what lines she had to speak were well de- livered. Mr. Spencer's Icillius was not as heppy an effort as his Bassanio of the right previous. Mr. Hanford’s Virginius Was a carefully studied effort, worthy to stand with the best of those who have be- come famous in the part. There are pas- sages that will be smoothed by time and experience in the character, but as a whole it was an excellent interpretation. That his efforts were appreciated by the audi- ence was evidenced by the frequent and emphatic applau He was also the re- cipient of several curtain calls. The sup- porting cast was up to the standard, and the Dentatvs of George Macomber, Ap- plus of James Carden, Numitorius of Ber- Lucius of Richard Buhler and Servia of Adele T. Eckert Geserve es- pecial mention. The music incidental to the piece and the overture was especially com- posed by Prof. Emil Mori for Mr. Hanford’s preduction and it added not a little to the attractiveness of the performance. Tonight “Julius Caesar” will be presented, with Mr. Hanford as Mare Antony, Mr. Spencer, Cas- sius, Miss O’Brien, Portia, and Mr. Carden, Brutus. Lafayette Square Opera House.—The per- formance of Humperdinck’s falry opera, “Hansel and Gretel," gave evident satisfac- tion to a large and cultured audience at the Lafayette Square Opera House last evening. Several changes in the cast had been made since Monday evening, and the orchestra was considerably Increased in numbers, so that the opera went with an ease and grace that did not mark tts initial performance. Miss Jessie Huddleston, the new Gretel, made a decided hit. She and Miss Marte Elba, as Hansel, carried off the honors of the evening, their voices blending most de- lightfully. Jacques Bars sang the part of Peter, the broom maker, in capital style, and Miss Mary Linck did credit to herself in the role of the Witch. Altogether the performance is a pleasing one now, and will undoubtedly draw good houses during the balance of the week. The Old Homestead.—Denman Thompson's play of New England life, the story so full of quaint people in their old-fashioned sur- roundings, enjoying their honest, unevent- ful lives, has not been seen here for two years, so its many admirers will be glad to learn of {ts coming next week to the Lafay- ette Square Opera House, the engagement to include matinees on Wednesday, Thanks- giving day and Saturday. “The Old Home- stead" seems to have lost none of its charm for theater goers, as after nine years its pop- ularity is unabated. It has a sweet story simply told, but one which appeals to ever heart, and above all, it Is clean and swee The glimpse of Grace Church and the sing- Ing of “The Palms’ serve to intensify the feeling of rest destred from being thrown in contact with the quaint, simple-minded New England people. The scenes of farm life are all natural and the musical selections of the farm hands come as a grateful surprise, and give an insight Into the happiness of the old farm. The play will be charmingly staged, and many new effects In stage light- ing produced by electrical effects. Rentz-Santley Burlesque Company.—The attraction at the Lyceum next week will be the famous Rentz-Santley Burlesque and Novelty Company, composed entirely of new features. The curtain rises on a new musical burletta, entitled ‘Twill Be Club, @ satire on the successful play “Trilby, which serves to introduce the full strength of the company. An exceptionally good olio follows, in which will appear a num- ber of well-known and superior specialty artists. There will also be presented an original burlesque, ‘Robin Hood, Jr.,” in- troducing all of the well-known characters. Among the names appearing on the roster are Leslie and Tenly, Carrie Scott, Collins and Collins, Lottie Elliott, VanLeer and Barton, Winnie Mitchell, Whiting and Shep- pard, Marion Blake and others. Paderewski.—Mr. Frank B. Metzerott an- nounces that Paderewski, notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, will appear on the evening of the llth of December at Metzerott Music Hall, and that the advance sale*of tickets will take place on the morn- ing of the 2d of December, at Metzerott's music store, 1110 F street nortawest. A People’s Lecture Course.—A people’: lecture course will be given by Rev. A. G.

The title of the first lecture is “From Oxford London.” The second lecture, “Holland,” will be given Decembe while the third, “Edinburgh—Old and 7,” will be given December 9.

Prof. McGee's expedition to the Island of Tiburon, in the Gulf of Califormia, has left Tucson, and is now well on its way to the Pacitic side, where boat will be taken. The Seri Indians, who inhabit the island, are said to be direct descendents of the Aztec and Cliff Dwellers, and are stil close aGherents to the customs of their ances- tors. Comparatively nothing 1s known of the island from the fact that it lies out of the paths of navigation, the peninsula of California on one side and the mainland on the other being both stretches of ‘al- most unrelieved aridness. Nothing exists in the upper part of the gulf to attract mariners or others. ——— to Baltimore and Return via Pennsylvania Railroad.” Tickets sold Saturday and Sunday, No- vember 23 and 24, valid returning until Mon- day, the 25th, good on any train.—Advt. —— — “Low Rates to New York via Penn- sylvanin Railroad.” For the Yale-Princeton foot ball game Saturday, November 23, the Pennsylvania yailroad will sell round-trip tickets to New Ycrk at one fare for the round trip, viz., we lickets to be sold, and good going only, November 22, good to return until the 25th, inclusive.—Advt. ———— Free Exhibition With the Whitely Exerciser in our window daily from 11 to 1 and 3 to )».
