THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1896-FOURTEEN PAGES. 1 THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES Some Confusion Gaused by Its Change of ante Plans. PERRY’S. The Appeal of the Emergency Relief Committee—Money Needed for Administrative Purposes. 5 - A reader of The Star writes as follows: “Unless I am much duller of comprehension than people generally, I do not think the public will very clearly understand the situation ag presented by the Associated Charities. Tuesday’s Star had an article under the heading of ‘Poor Relief Fund,’ in which it was stated that $2,000 or $3,000 ought to be provided immediately to meet the wants of the emergency relief commit- tee. In the same article Treasurer Edson is represented as saying that every dollar so contributed ‘will reach those who are really in need.’ This is supplemented by a report of Secretary Wilson's remarks on the subject, to your reporter, in which he is quoted as saying: ‘It is hoped that the community will respond generously to the call of the committee and send subscrip- tions to the treasurer, Mr. John Joy Ed- son, or to any member of the committee. They may rest assured that the money will be used in the most discreet manner and none of it wil be tive purposes.” . “On the other hand, I have before me a somewhat voluminous combined appeal for contributions, issued in the form of circu- lars, stgned by the ‘board of managers of the Associated Charities’ and by the ‘finance committee’ of that body. In these documents it is stated that the money they ask for is required ‘fo- administration pur- poses only,’ and, further, that the yearly expenses for these purposes are ted at $7,500 per annum. What tre we to understand from these epparently conflicting statements? Are there two separate funds, to which the public is expected to contribute? If so, why? And, if so, are givers expected to give to both funds, or may they choose to which purpose their givings are to be ap- plied? I have every year given something to the Associated Charities, as originally organized, and am prepared to contribute again, because I am opposed to street beg- ging and to indiscriminate heip being ex- tended to all askers, and usually the most freely to the least needy and deserving. But, es the case Is set forth by the two somewhat confusing presentations above referred to, and laying aside for the time being the question whether or not the sum of $7,500 is rot an excessive amount to be takea out of the contributions given by te charitable and expended for purely ‘ad- ministration purposes,’ I am at a loss to determ‘ne just how or to whom my offer- ings shail be made, so that they will do the most good. I will say, however, that I much prefer that what I do give shall be applied directly for the relief of the poor, rather than used for salaries and the pay- ment of office expenses, which, in a degree, are of course necessary, but which, I sub- mit, ought to be kept within reasonable bounds. Let it net be forgotten that the calls on this community are many, and that, as a rule, those both able and willing to give are comparatively few.” Seeretary’s Wilson's Explanation. ‘The attention of Secretary Wilson of the Associated Charities was called to this maiter by a Star reporter, and he said there is evidently a misunderstanding in re- gard to the character of the work done by the Associated Charities. ‘Under the pres- ent system,” he said, “it is a non-relief giving organization. Our work 1s one of investigation, registration and sending cases for relief to relief-giving organiza- tions, such as the charitable institutions, the churches, lodges and other bodies. It was found recently that many cases calling for assistance were from a class of persons not connected with or having claims on any church or relief association, and as there were no funds available the citizens’ emergency relief committee was organized. It was decided to ask from the public sum of money amounting to two or three thousand dollars, which could be disbursed by this committee to meet such cases. The Associated Charities will not disburse a single cent of this sum. The committee has no office rent nor salaries to pay, and the money will be expended in the lief of persons sent to it by the Associated Char- really offering belo heir actual values. uyot Braces, 35c— Everybody knows the regu- lar price is 50c.

That is “snug” mark- every dollar contributed to the emergency ing. relief committee, of which Mr. John Joy Edson is treasurer, goes to the relief of the deserving poor. n regard to the $7,500, which it is esti- raated will be required to provide for the ‘administration purposes’ of the Associated Charities, it may be thought, especially in this city, where a non-relief organization we know. 7 is unknown, that this is a large amount to e know. Our price, $4 a expend in such a way. It should be re- suit. membered, however, that the Associated —-—- Charities under the present system aims to be a clearing house for the entire or- he Black Hose ganized charity work of the District, and is in again — those 19¢. it is believed that if the system is prop- erly carried out it will save many times that amount to the charitably inclined people of the District. In New York a similar organization expends annvally be- tween $40,000 and $50,000 for administra- tive purposes, while in Baltimore $10,000 is expended annually in this way. Last year the people of this clty contributed scme_ $30,000, which was paid out In two months. As the weather his winter is not as severe as it was last winter it is believed that all deserving and worthy persons can be helped this year with one- third of this amount, which will be rep- resented by the money required to main- tain the Associated Charities for an entire year and by the special fund which the emergency relief commitiee has called for.” Blacks that we sell at 2 pair for 25c.

They Are Better Than Civil Engineers at Finding Their Way. Dr. Eugene Murray-Aaron in Popular Science News. Horses and mules are known by all who have had much experience with then as famous pathfinders. A good story of this power in the horse tribe is told of a mule by John T. Campbell of Rockville, Ind. In the early days of prospecting in Oregon a party were in the field, and had covered a very circuitous course, which they de- pended on a civil engineer to enable them to retrace, should they see any objects worthy of a revisit. Having decided to return to the home camp by the most di- rect route the engineer, after calculating latitudes and departures, pointed out what he believed to be the correct direction along which they must proceed to reach the de- sired point. When night cvertook them they found that they were not at the home White Lawn Bows—12c. Collars and Cuffs. 500 dozen 10-centers added to the stock—new shapes among them.

At this stage of their wanderings the driver of the team turned one of his mules loose; and at once, much to the discom- fiture of the engineer and the amusement of the rest of the party, it set off in a direction that brought them to the home camp. Now, this mule had never before been allowed to wander in this locality, for fear that it would stray and become lost, nor had it ever before been over the route by which they had reached the point where the engineer was at fault. It was after dark; there was no one at the camp to make any noise that its sharp ears might detect, and the way was entirely unknown How had it at once taken the route we sell them for. -4-ply Linen Link Cuffs— % 20¢. a pair.

A case allied to this happened to me in the Blue mountains of Jamaica, where a pony that had never before been in the parish, where I was lost in a tropical storm, took me back to the point from which -we had started in the morning, and that by a much nearer route, entirely new to both of us. While I was aware by the growth of the trees that we were headed in the right general direction, it was at any tims impossible for me to see more than one hundred wards ahead.
