THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1896—TWELVE PAGES WORK FOR THE POOR Associated Charity Plans for Spring and Summer. SECRETARY WILSON’S REPORT Made at the Monthly Meeting of { the Managers. FEBRUARY RELIEF The regular monthly board meeting of the managers of the Associated Charities was held at the central office, 811 D street, yes- terday at £ p.m. There were present Prof. B. T. Janney, Rev. J. H. Bradford, Mr. John Joy Edson, Mr. L. 8S. Emery, Miss x. B. Hosmer, Mrs. Dr. Hood, Dr. M. D. Peck, Miss F. P. Spofford and Mr. S. W. Wood- ward. Mr. John Joy Edson, treasurer, sub- mitted his report, showing a balance of $1,068.28 in the treasury. The secretary then read the report of the month’s work for February. The report said that in January 1,353 families made application for relief, and in February 1,319 applied. Of the 1,353 during the month January more than half were from white persons. While of the 1,319 ap- plicants during February only 352 ‘were white persons and 967 were colored. Of the 1,319 families who have made ap- Flication during the month 732 have been aided in one way and another. Inability to furnish work in many cases where it would be desirable. has been the keenest felt want. The association has been able to provide work for only thirty-seven persons. Relief has been procured’ for sixty-five through churches, and for thirty-two through other organizations and charitable individuals. One hundred families were aided from the supplies of The Star pound Party. Five hundred and two were relieved through the funds of the emergency com- mittee. Wood from the Congressional Li- brary building was sent to seventy-two families. Two families were transported to hemes or friends. Nine hundred and twenty investigations Rave been made by our agents during the month. Twenty-nine, persons were found to have given false fddresses. Workings of the Socicty. “The majority of the people,” the report says, “are still unacquainted with the workings of the society, under the new or- ganization, but where we have come in contact with people, through cases in which they were interested, we have been able to ecnvince them of the ustfulness of the so- ciety. We have been bearing the burden of relief work of the city during the winter, and thus far our expenses, including ad- ministrative funds and the amount used from the emergency committee for relief work, have been less than $3,000. In the light of past “experiences surely the com- munity cannot say that this is an extrav- agent outlay. There is still a prejudice amorg some people, however, against using the funds of a charitable organization for any purpose except feeding and clothing the hurgry and cold. But if one will stop a moment to consider the question he will see that it is a dangerous thing to give peo- ple food and clothing which they do not earn. “We claim that not only has our system of thorough investigation and registration reduced by a large amount the total sum required for carrying on the relief work of the community, but the results have been much more beneficial to the poor whom we would really help, for it is much better for any family if they can be led to help them- selves than to be helped by others. The Record of the Winter. “We can peint with confidence to the recor] of the past three months, and ask ether the work could be carried on with ny greater econon: nd we appeal to the community to help continue our work among the pcor during the spring and sum- mer months, when theve 13 hop: seme consiruetive work— t raising the poor above their poverty, not imply helping them in it. If we can raise one family above their poverty or pauper- ism we will have done tnfinitely more than if we have heiped to support ten families in such pauperism. Such constructive work s Leen done, and is b done other places, and there is no reason why it can- Tot be done in Washington. “The poor, at least many of them, can be taught habits of industry and thrift. They can be taught to depend upon themselves and not upon others. To do this requires continued personal effort; we must get near the people in order to influence them. And if we are to expect among all those who have been helped this winter that many shall be able to help themselves next win- ter, we must continue our work with them throughout the summer months. Summer Work. “When we are crowded, and our agents are overworked investigating cases of de- mands for relief, it is impossible to devote time to the many helpful things which might be done for the poor. If we are en- abled to continue our work throughout the summer many helpful lessons can be taught and much ¢an be done to raise some of the poor above their poverty. Saving schemes which will enable persons to save in any sum from one cent up should be introduced. By this means in many of our large cities the poor have been led tosave enough dur- ing the summer months to provide them with fuel during the winter. We appeal for the support of the community for the work throughout the entire year, both because it is more econorical—it will cost less in dol- lars and cents to do relief work of the year if enough agents are kept in the field to keep in touch with the poor throughout the en- tire year—and because the results will be infinitely better for the poor people them- selves. In winter we can only help them; in summer we can teach them to help them- selves.” Other Business. The report was approved and placed in the files. The board then discussed the question of the work of the society for the spring and summer months. They are an- xious to carry on the work throughout the summer, claiming that that is the time hen the most helpful work can be done among the poor in the way of teaching them to help themselves, and in an effort to raise them above their poverty. The resignation of Rev. Dr. W. E. Parson was read and ac- cepted, and the secretary was instructed to send to Dr. Parson an expression of regret at the fact that he was unable to serve on the board. Dr. Parson has been obliged to resign, owing to sickness. The secretary was instructed, further, to send to Dr. Par- son an expression of condolence at the death of his son. The work of the society was discussed informally, and the board is well satisfied with the results thus far under the new organization, and an effort will be made to carry on the work so far as necessary throughout the summer months. They believe thoroughly that it will be much more economical, measured in dollars and cents, if the agents are kept in the field throughout the summer months, and the results will be infinitely better for the poor people whom they are trying to help.

It Contains the Views of the Anti- Division Association. The committee of the Anti-Division As- sociation charged with the task of pre- paring an address to the public, completed ‘its labors today, and it will be submitted to the association meeting this evening. Sev- eral subjects will come up for discussion this evening, but the principal business to be transacted is the adoption of the ad- cress, The mass meeting will probably be held in the First Congregational Church and will take place at an early day. The ad- @ress prepared by the committee, headed by Mr. E. D. Bailey as chairman, is in H as follows: aeter prem g it by stating the objects of the association and that the ‘Division’ has grown to its present size largely on the false supposition that it is a necessary evil the address goes on to give some facts in relation to the case. Continuing, it says: “We helieve the social evil should be treated like all other violations of the law. It should be punished wherever and when- ever possible. An honest attempt should be made to suppress this evil rather than to apologize for it. But even if absolute suppression were impossible we would still favor dislédging the evil from its present location with a view to suppressing it in part and crippling it in other respects. “No alarm should be taken at the threat of scattcring it to the respectable residence portions of the city. This outcry against scattering it savors of insincerity, since it is well known that houses of ill repute ex- ist in different parts of the city. The evil is contagious, and if allowed to prevail in one place it is hound to spread. On the other hand if placed under the ban of the law its power and attractiveness are di- minished and the fear of discovery must inevitably minimize it.” “We have already given careful consid- eration to the question of caring for the inmates of these houses. Some of them are wealthy and can easily care for themselves, while others are employed as domestics and can easily find other places. One of the principal objects seems to be that a large number of homeless women with their occupation gone will be thrown on the city. We think that these can be provided for, as the Central Union Mission and the Hope and Help Mission have offered to take care of all they can, and if necessary en- large thcir present quarters for this pur- pose. The Central Union Mission can in this way provide for about a hundred wo- men, and with the ald of the other mission, the House of Mercy and of the Good Shep- herd, all the rest can be provided for. This, of course, means for the time being, as Places of one sort or another can ultimate- ly be secured, as has been demonstrated in the course of the work already in pro- gress in the Division.

Complaint had been made that she had ill treated her young daughter Lizzie. The child, although only about eight years old,-is in service, and her employer was the princtpal witness aga‘nst the mother. Judge Miller was satisfied, from the proof, that the mother had been too severe on the child,.and fined her $2, Policeman Wilson of the Humane Society Was in court in charge of the case, and when a suggestion was made that the child would fare better if she were in the hands of the board of children’s guardians, Law- yer Hewlett, who was in court, entered a protest against such action, and said he thought it was going back to slave days, He thought that children should not ba taken from parents unless there was some good reason for it. Judge Miller promptly told him that there was nothing of the kind being done in this city. The board, the judge told him, was composed of reputab‘e people of both colors, the colored people being represented by such a man as John F, Cook, and the judge failed to see any cause for Lawyer Hew- lett’s remarks, or anything in them worth notic:ng. The fine was paid, and the case ended. ———.___ Loney May Become Lonely. A set of harness formerly owned by Judge Miller will figure in a case of house- breaking in “the judge's court tomorrow. Somo time ago the judge sold his harness to Mr. Nichols, who owns the Mount Ver- non Hotel, and two nights ago his stable was ceered and the harness stolen. This morning Detectives arrested William Loney, colored, wad cot covered the harness from where he had seld it. After this was done Mr. Nichols made complaint that the robbery had been committed, and was surprised to find his stolen harness at headquarters. The pris- oner denies that he stole the harness, and said he was cnly acting for another man. ——. * The Colored Y. M. C. A. Fair.
