It shall be in the power of the board of managers to appoint such assist- ant officers or agents as shal] in their judgment be necessary for the more con- .¥enient dispatch of business, at such sal- aries and for such terms as they may deem expedient.” Another article says: “It shall be the duties of the members of the association to endeavor in all suitable ways, to give practical effect to its principles, and especially to discoun- tenance indiscriminate almsgiving, and in- stead of giving to unknown applicants, whose cases they cannot investigate them- selves, refer such to the visitor in their sec- tion, if there is one, or to the central office. All contributors to the funds of the asso- ciation for any year shall be entitled to refer applicants, as above, during the year for which their contributions were made. “The city shall be divided into ten dis- tricts, and three members of the board of managers shall be assigned to each dis- trict as its committee. ” Views Expressed. Mrs. S. S. Fuller, who has interested herself in the charitable work of the city, gave a detailed account of the work of the Provident Association of Boston, which was in some respects similar to the Asso- ciated Charities of this city. Supt. G. 8.Wilson of the Associated Char- ities adderssed the association. He believed in a provident aid association for Wash- ington supported by the citizens and not by Congress. The District Commissioners are interested in the subject of providing some permanent relief for the poor., and the committee appointed by them had started to work. He believed the field a good one, but was not prepared to discuss it in detail, That a general organization Was necessary was evident. The city was well supplied with charitable organizations. He did not wish to reflect upon any of them, but no matter how well they did their work they were bound to overlap one another, resulting in much confusion. He urged the support of a provident associa- tion by the public. The moment money was voted for outdoor charity it became taxation. He hoped for the establishment of a provident association. Ex-Gove. Ordway said he was heartily in sympathy with the movement. He thought the time was ripe for the establishment of be managed by a nicipal lodging house could be let ou- by contract and money saved. We would like to take the contract free, for he was sat- isfied he could run it without cost to the District and make a good salary besides.

UR FAMOUS SPECIAL SEAL CALF, MON ‘D CALF Pp the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion asking the co-operation of the East JRushimg Washington Citizens’ Association in the matter of having a resident of East Wash- ington made a District Commissioner. The communication set forth the appointment of the following committee on the part of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Asso- ciation: W. J. Frizzell, A. H. Martin, 8. Sowerbutts, Chas. P. Peake and Jno. B. Aigate. The reading of this communica- tion brought Mr. Tracy L. Jeffords, one of the candidates mentioned for the com- missionership, to the front with a resolu- tion, setting forth— Whereas the terms of office of two members of the board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia expire, one during February and one during March of this year; And whereas no resident of East Wash- ington has ever been a member of said board; And whereas East Washington contains one-third of the population of the District, and now has important matters affecting the general welfare of the same demanding attention, among which is the reciama- tion of the Anacostia flats; now, there- fore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the East Washington Citizens’ Association that an actual resident of East Washington be ap- pointed to be a successor in office to one of said Commissioners, and that a copy of this resolution and preamble be trans- mitted to the President of these United States, and that a copy be transmitted to the President-elect. Pending the consideration of the resolu- tion ex-Governor Ordway urged the ap- pointment of a Commissioner who would look more after the interests of the eastern section of the city. The previous question being called the meeting adjourned. —The novelty of our benest Shoe honestly reduced is an immense drawing card.

A committee representing a number of the large railroads of the country, headed by Receiver John K. Cowen of the Bal- timore and Ohio, had a conference yester- day with the interstate commerce com- missioners to discuss the safety-appliance law. The meeting was an informal one. It was expected that a petition to the com- mission asking an extension of time in which to secure the proposed equipment would be submitted, but it was not. The roads are anxious to have the limit within which all railroads are required by law to equip all their cars, both passenger and freight, with automatic couplers and train brakes extended, and the object of the meeting was to talk over the best means of securing an extension of time.
