Adéress by President Blout, Review- ing the Work of Past Year—Some Suggestions Made. The annual meeting of the United Hebrew Charities took place last evening at Con- cordia Hall, corner of 6th and E streets northwest. The atteridance was large and much interest was manifested. The, retiring officers were all re-elected, as follows: President, I. L. Blout; vice president, Solomon kewis; treasurer, A. D. Prince; financial secretary, William Hahn; recording secretary, Jacob Strasburger. These gentlemen were ccnstituted the board of directors and authorized to call to their aid as many of the members of the society they deemed advisable to carry out the purposes of the organization. The principal interest of the meeting was centered in the annual report of President Biout. President Blout’s Addre Mr. Blout's paper was in part as follows: “The conditions of our poor since our last report have undergone but little, if any, change. The methods, manner and system mapped out and followed in the past re- main unchanged, excepting a few improve- ments in the system of our management. Many who in thc past were forced to seek assistance are today thriving, relying on their own exertions and resources, and are therefore comfortable and contented. None have been ignored, none neglected. “The number of applicants during the past twelve months was 658, of which 473 were relieved as follows: With fuel, 86; with provisions, 116; with wearing apparel, 34; with transportation, 118; with licenses, merchandise, furniture, nourishments, ical attendance, medicines, funeral ex- ete., 122—requiring in all the ‘ishursement of $2,003.89. ‘The amount of receipts from all sources of the same perlod was $2,065.79, leaving a balance, adding balance on hand October 1, 1896 (excluding the reserve fund of $350), in hands of the treasurer of $127.88. Applicants Increase. “There has been an increase in applica- ticns for manual labor.. The continued un- settled affairs have caused many laborers and mechanics to be thrown out of em- ployment. Washington being neither a manufacturing nor commercial city, the difficulty of obtaining employment for the idle is apparent. Men eager and willing to earn a livelihood by tne labor of their own hands almost daily apply for work of any kind. “The management, by the most diligent endeavors, has therefore met with but scant success in this direction, and to prevent actual starvation had to resort to furnish- ing the necessaries of life until arranged otherwise. We are still adhering to our customary mode—that of finding ways and means of self-support for the dependent. The constant fecding of the hungry poor has a tendency to keep them poor. Some charity agencies are contented with this, ard think that by supplying food their duty is done, when in reality it is but duty just commenced. It is a fact undeniable that the more we doctor the poor with nourish- icine, the more we pauperize them; the continued stimulating increases the disease, instead of allaying it. We mus? furnish them with nourishments which not orly satisfy their physical wants, but which will invigorate their mental, moral and so- cial conditions. To supply the hungry with the necessaries of life we conceive as our first and main duty, but would deem it morally wrong, detrimental to both the poor and the charities, should we continue h practice. They must be shown the y of becoming self-sustaining, self-re- liant, self-respecting. The system of help- ing those who cannot help themselves had in most instances its desired effect, and thus the secd planted In the fertile soil of philanthropy has yielded rich and nourish- ing harvest of self-support and indepen- dence. Council of Jewish Women. “Social, religious, moral and intellectual achievements are tenets relative and char- zeieristic to charitable work. These func- tions, I regret to state, owing to insufficient means, we were hindered from accomplish- ing, and reluctantly compelled to neglect, but this visible want of a something loftier has scemingly been supplied by an organ, composed of members for ages renowned in philanthropic and charitable channels. “Daughters in Israel,” descendants of mothers pious, heroic and self-sacrificing, who, emerging from behind the clouds of indifference, are awakening; they have risen to the need of the hour. Banded to- gether by those inseparable ties of love and duty, they are striving for the elevation of mankind in general and Judaism in partio- ular. To the ‘Council of Jewish Women’ we heartily extend our hand of fellowship, and greet you and your good intentions. We are with you in heart and in spirit. Al- ready have the influences of your endeav- ors, 50 lofty and magnanimous, as the field of your operations is extensive, been felt and deservedly acknowledged. Success in the noble work before you is our wish and ardent desire. But justice to whom justice is due. Wives Deserted. “The deserted wife question has caused the board no little concern. The number of ‘cases marked ‘temporary absence of hus- | band’ are by no means on the decline, the husband relying on the sympathy and pro- tection of the charities. The abandoning of their families to the care of others by men who ignore honor and obligations has become an abuse widespread and alarming, ene too oftei practiced in defiance of the teachings of God and man. “Our city, the capital of one of the great- est, most liberal nations on earth, the con- centrated center of power, influence and culture, is sadly lacking in measures to prevent these inhuman practices. Congress should heed the request made by Simon Wolf, while president of the board of chil- dren’s guardians, to institute measures looking to their prevention and punishment. “Phe habit of assisting applicants by in- dividuals, heads of households, etc., not- withstanding our repeated warnings and requests to the contrary, still exists to some extent and not seldom do we hear of those who, having already been aided by the as- sociation, continue their accustomed habit of house-to-house begging, and are thus en- couraged in their vocation by some too tender-hearted, over-charitable _ persons, who ignore the fact that often the appli- cant is an impostor. Rules Suggested. “We deem it advisable to recommend the following rules for general observation: “1. Refuse aid to applicants, no matter of what nature or to what extent. “2. Discredit all stories and statements, such as having been refused or insuffi- ciently aided by the association, and the like, amd take our assurance that our best judgment, tempered by experience, is en- listed at all times and in all cases, accom- panied by care and discrimination, to the end that the applicants receive such atten- tion as the nature and merits of their needs may justify. Dispense your charity practically, not mechanically, and send them to us, and no one else. “Charity dispensed to and for the hungry is, indeed, charity well dispensed. But if, through it, humanity be disgraced, then it becomes charity misused, misplaced. The Late Henry King. “It is with deep sorrow and regret that I refer to the loss of one of our members. Death has invaded our ranks, A faithful worker, after long and toilsome labor. passed to his reward when Henry King breathed his last. The voice which had so often resounded in our council is hushed. He has gone from among us, but his mem- ory lives with us. May heaven it him that reward due to one who had so nobly fulfilled the divine commandment—‘Be charitable.’ * —.__ Hagerstown Fair.

NATIONAL THEATER—The new mu- sical English comedy success, “In Town,” comes to the New Nationel Theater next week. It will be performed by George Ed- wardes’ London company from the Gaiety Theater, where the gatety girls eome from. The present bunch of seventy girls is said to contain the pink and pick of all the Gaie- ty’s most charming examples of physical loveliness. If it were not that it is one of the least of the production’s attractiveness it might be featured,as a beauty show. “In Town" comes directly to the Nafiénal from the Knickerbocker Theater, New York city, fresh in newness, elaborate in scenery and dréss, and diverting in the brilliant quality of the fun, songs and dances. The com- pany and porduction will be brought down from New York intact, with all the beau- ties who have made Cholly Knickerbocker and his fatifer, brothers and sons happy for the past months. Miss Maud Hobson is one of the delightful and charming newcomers. She is not entirely unknown here, having been a member ‘of the original company which presented “The Gaiety Girl.” She has an important part in “In Town,” and will be one of the chief eye-dazzling charm- ers in the gatety hosts. Another beauty is Minnie Hunt, who was one of the pret- tiest girls in the “Gaiety Girls.” She has a role in the new musical comedy which util- izes her personal charms and artistic graces to the fullest advantage. And still another gaiety Venus whom Washington- jams have seen and admired is Miss Marie Studholme. She was the leading enter- tainer in “An Artist's Model.” Her “Ump- ty-umpty-Ay”’ song was one of the great hits in that work. COLUMBIA THEATER.—The double bill of “Billee Taylor” and “Cavaileria Rusti- cana,” is now being given in better form by the Castle Square Opera Company at the Columbia, and is proving an exceedingly strong attraction. Mr. Joseph Sheehan, who suffered from a slight indisposition the early part of the week, is now in voice, and is singing at every performance. Both cperas are now smooth and clean cut, and are very enjoyable. Miss Golden’s work in “Cavalleria Rusticana” is superb, and she is given an ovation nightly. The “bargain matinee” will be given, as usual, tomor- row, and the sale of seats indicates a large audience. Miss Lillian Russell, Miss Della Fox, Miss Lucille Saunders and Mr. Jeff. De Angelis of the “Wedding Day” com- pany will occupy the boxes at that time. The next week’s bill to be given by the Castle Square company is “Clover,” that gem of comic operas, which was written in the happiest mood of Von Suppe. Scen- ic Artist Frank King and assistants will outdo all previous efforts in the matter of settings. The cast of prin- cipals includes all the favorites, and @ new and popular artist in Miss Elvia Croix, who will make her debut with the company here in the fascinating role of Fanny. Miss Croix is known in private life as Mrs. Thos. Q. Seabrooke. She {s con- sidered one of the best singing soubrettes on the American stage, ‘and her appear- ance with the company will be a feature. Mr. Raymond Hitchcock will be seen in his best work in this opera. Others tn the fine cast will be Grace Golden, Joseph Sheeham, Melville Stewart, Gertrude Rutledge, Wil- Ham Wolff and E. N. Knight. ‘The strong and inspiriting chorus will, as usual, be well drilled, and the orchestra will come up to all requirements. LAFAYETTE SQUARE THEATER. — Magician Kellar’s program, as it will be given in this city at his forthcoming en- gagement at the Lafayette Square Opera House, beginning Monday, October 18, is the most complete and bewildering he has ever offered his patrons. Unlike the old- fashioned sleight-of-hand performer, Kel- lar believes fhat large illusions and ‘ex- periments that require the entire stage of the theater present the most attraction to audiences. No less than seven master- pieces of the modern magician’s art will be combined in one entertainment. In the “Simla Seance’ he will show how the fa- mous Davenport brothers performed their so-called miracles; the ‘‘Cassadega Propa- gande” will introduce a tiny cabinet, just about large enough for a doll, in which will be produced all the manifestations claimed as supernatural by believers in spiritualism; ‘‘Fly-To” is an experiment in Hindoo conjuring, in which men and wo- men are made to appear and disappear in the most astonishing and unaccountable manner, illustrating the projection of the astral body, as advocated by the Mahat- mas of India and the orient; “Oriental Wonders” will witness the growth of huge bowers of blooming roses, in which ladies of rare beauty eppear; “Out of Sight” will show designing husbands how to get rid ef a wife with neatness and dispatch, such as would turn a divorce court judge green with envy; “Karmos” is an exhibition of mental telegraphy, or mind reading, in which Mrs. Kellar shows such an advanced Knowledge of the art that her perform- ances are almost incredible. She reads bank checks, bills, notes, private papers— anything, in fact, handed to Mr. Kellar in the audience. She is blindfolded, on the stage, and not a word or sound {s uttered during the entire experiment. Her instant calculations in mathematics are marvelous. SOUSA’S BAND.—John Philip Sousa will give a single concert at the Lafayette Square Opera House next Sunday evening. This is an announcement that will bring pleasurable anticipation to every lover of music, for Sousa is probably closer to the heart of the people than any other com- poser or conductor of the day, and, with a thorough appreciation of their tastes, he gives them what they want. Sousa is as much a master of the art of program mak- ing as he is of march composition. His coneerts ere models of good form and taste in this respect, and this is one reason why the coming of Sousa fs an event in the musical season that arouses great enthu- siasm. Sousa is so well known that there is no need to speak—and especially to Washingtonians—either of his personal qualities or his musical abilities. The pro- gram to be presented Sunday evening will include the following numbers: Overture, “Il Guarnay,” Gomez; ballet suite, “The Rose of Shiras” (new), Eilenberg:; scenes from “Die Gotterdammerung,” Wagner; soprano solo, “Linda di Chamounix,”’ Done- zetti, Miss Maud Reese Davies; transcrip- tion of “Rhapsody Hongroise,” Hauser; two numbers from “Fairy Scenes” (new), Massenet; trombone solo, ‘Felice,’ Liber- atl; serenata, “Love in Idleness” (new), Macbeth; march, “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” Sousa; violin solo, “Romance Sans Paroles,” Wieniawski, Miss Jennie Hoyle; humoresque, “The Band Came Back,” Sousa. GRAND OPERA HOUSE.—Mr. Morri- son's production of the new romantic melo- drama, “'The Privateer,” will be presented for the first time in this city Monday even- ing next. The play has enjoyed an ex- tended run in New York city, where it Scored a great success. This is due, how- ever, to the elaborate mounting given it by Mr. Morrison as much as to the merit of the play itself, and the excellence of the members of the company in the leading roles. ‘che presentation here will include the original cast, all the handsome scenery, electrical effects and intricate mechanisms. There is nothing of its class before the pubiic that calls for more care in presenta- tion and general detail than “The Privs teer,” and each member of the company shares in the exactness {t demands. While the climaxes are thrilling, they are log- ically led up to, and the comedy element is not forgotten. The entire performance will be given here with the same completeness that characterized its recent run of fifty nights in New York city. ACADEMY OF MUSIC.—Go-Won-Go- Mohawk, the young Indian actress, will be the attraction at the Academy next week, appearing in @ sensational drama. Wep- Ton-No-Mah, Miss Go-Won-Go-Mohawk, is the authoress of the play, and it is claimed that the story 1s told with great force, is intensely dramatic, and is presented by an excellent company It is claimed for Miss Mohawk that she is a clever actress. She speaks English fluently, and her enuncia- tion is clear and devoid of the slightes: harshness; on the contrary, she has a mel- low voice, which she uses with effect. For the past five years Miss Mohawk and her company have traveied over England, ev- erywhere receiving a hearty welcome, and on return visits enthuslastic reception. KERNAN'S LYCEUM THEATER.—Next week Manager Kernan presents the first specialty show of the season in Hyde's Comedians. This organization sustains the reputation of being equal to any high-class vaudevilie company. Miss Helene Mora, the great lady baritone, is, as of yore, the star feature on the program. She is rur- rounded this season with an ition of “stars,” who are individually endowed with talent, and the entertainment presented is yet to be equaled on the variety stage. Miss Mora’s repertoire of songs includes “The Cross of Gold,” “I’ve Come to Say Fare- ‘Just For the Sake of Our Daugh- Song That Will Live Forever” Night.” Oth Walker, the So W’am,” and other coon songs of their own composition; Charles R. Sweet, the tramp pianist, im a very funny act; the ‘Street ArabsiSextet, introducing new songs, medleys, etcs; the Randalles, in their _won- derful feats of contortion and acrobatic dancing. The Five Castilians will conclude the performance avith their amusing farce, entitled “AcGame of Wits,” Altogether this will be one of the best entertainments seen in Washington this season at this Popular play: house. BIJOU THEATER.—The bill at this pop- ular little house>for the current week is one of peculiar ‘excellence. The retention of the wonderful De Greaus, who con- tinue to be? a feature in their thrilling feats on thevflying trapeze, was a popular move. Their marvelous and daring feats have seldom’been excelled or equaled here. Gibbons and Barrett, in local parodie: Judge and Walton, in a comedy acrobatic skete! Ward and Brown, language butch- ers; H. M. Herbert, in his eccentric danc- ing and comic English ditties, are promi- nent. The Luminere cinematograph, with a series of new views, is also a great draw- ing card. The Bijou, as a family resort, should be popular with the people, as its prices are within the reach of all. REMENYI, SUNDAY EVENING.—Next Sunday evening, at the Columbia Theater, the world-renowned violinist, Edouard Re- menyi, will he heard, assisted by an excel- lent company. Remenyi 1s an artist that charms all who hear him, while his work has a characteristic fire that brings earned laurels..Remenyi has not visited Washing- ton for several seasons, but his last ap- pearance is remembered, and a warm wel- come doubtless awaits him. Mr. William Sauvlet of the Remenyi company is a splendid musician, in every respect, and was for years solo pianist to his ma- jesty, the late’ King of Holland, and a noted musical professor of Amsterdam. He was also professor at the Imperial Conservatory in Tokio, Japan; a_ bril- liant soloist and an ornament to any mu- sical organization. Miss Louise M. Bre- hany, the vocalist of the company, was soloist with the Chicago Marine Band last season, with which organization she made a great success. Miss Brehany has a clear, sympathetic voice—a mezzo-soprano in quality—of greatdepth and sweetness, which is used in an artistic manner. pear Prices will prevail for this con- cert. An enjoyable entertainment was given at Eagle Hail last evening by Faith Tent, No. 31, I. O. of Rechabites. The entertainment was in the form of a necktie party, and Was thoroughly enjoyed by a large num- her of the members and friends of the tent. A program, in which Master Willie Burke, rather a phenomenal in the line of a boy violinist; Mrs, Julia Palmer, soprano; William Ryan, elocutionist; William E. Morgan, baritone; Miss Katie Fellgraff. fancy dancer, and Miss Eva Ogle, took part, was given, every feature being hear- tily received. The exhibition of moving pictures which Was to be given tomorrow evening at the Fifth Baptist Church, on D street between 4% and 6th streets ‘southwest, has been postponed until the 2ist instant. At that time the exhibition will be given at the Same place with all the elaborate detail that promised to make the entertainment enjoyable tomorrow evening. THE BIOGRAPH.—The Biograph at Wil- lard Hall, opened most auspiciousiy, and notwithstanding the popularity of the views now on exhibition, almost a complete change of program will be made next week. ‘This exhibition of animated views is, per- haps, the most carefully selected of any ever shown. Some of the most popular views being shown during the present week are the “Poachers,” showing how this lawless class of people invade the trout streams; and the futile efforts of the fish to escape are plainly shown; the Phila- delphia fire boat in action, the views of the queen's diamond jubilee, the Prince of Wales reviewing the Highlanders, and many others ef equal merit. A special ex- hibition will be given Sunday evening at 8:15, at which many of the new views for the ensuing week will be shown. The ex- hibitions will continue as usual at 2:30, 4:30 and 8:15 datly. oe gee, If You Are Going to Baltimore next Sunday take the Pennsylvania railroad. None better.

The board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church will convene in Balti- more October 27 for a meeting of one week, during which they will select the confer- ences over which each will preside during the ensuing six months. The sessions of the board will be held in the Mount Vernon Place Church, and the conferences to which the bishops will there be assigned are for the greater, part in the east, and are known as the spring conferences, as distinguished from those of the west, which meet in the autumn. There will, of course, be other business brought before the mecting, but it will, in the main, be of a private nature, and the proceedings will not be divulged to the pub- lic, a part of which will be the appoint- ment of the bishops to various committees for the transaction of matters for the wel- fare of the church and the consideration of such other routine work as each mem- ber may present before the board.

Great interest is felt in Washington among former confederates in the reunion of Mos- by’s men, which is to take place in Balti- more tomorrow, and members of that com- mand from all parts of the souti will be present to participate in the affair and in the banquet which is to follow. Arrangements have been completed by ex-confederates in Baltimore to bring to that city the surviving members of the old 43a Virginia Cavalry, and it is their inten- tion to welcome John S. Mosby and those who fought under him enthusiastically, and to entertain them with that hospitality for which Marylanders have so great a repu- tation. ‘The feature of the reunion will be a ban- quet at the Eutaw House. The exterior of the building will be decorated lavishly with the United States and Maryland colors, while a feature of the adornments will Fe a large portrait of Gen. Mosby. ‘The address of welcome at the banquet will be delivered by A. W. Milholland, a prominent lawyer of Baltimore, and the toasts will be:responded to by Joseph Bry- au, proprietor of the Richmond Times; Rev. L. R. Mason, an Episcopal minister of the same city,,and Maj. A. E.

The River Above Cumberland Shown to Have Been in Bad Condition for Many Years. A preliminary report has been submitted by Dr. John S. Fulton, secretary of the Maryland state board of health, on Poto- mac river pollution. This report is based on an investigation made at the request of the city authorities of Cumberland, Md., and it shows that the Potomac river water, from which the whole of the supply of Cumberland is drawn, has been bad for many years. The waterworks were constructed in 1871, and it is only presumable that the source was then potable, but there is no evidence of it except by inference from the construc- tion of waterworks. The chemical history of the water from 1881 to 187 is known. At no time during these fifteen years has it been good. Dr. Fulton recites the results given by various investigators and the dif- ferent sources of contamination found by the state health board’s investigation. These sources of contamination are as follows: “Piedmont pulp and paper mills, at Luke, thirty miles above Cumberland. A serious contamination flows from these works which cannot be remedied except by chemical treatment. Other Contamination. “Below the pulp mills are the sources of contamination from the towns of Piedmont and Westernport, which pot their sewage into the Potomac. Then comes George's creek, bearing the sewage of the towns of Lonaconing, Frostburg, Barton and Mid- land, from an aggregate of 10,000 popula- lion. George’s creek also receives waste from coal mines. At Barton there are slaughter house and tannery discharges. At Keyser, W. Va., New creek empties into the Potomac, bearing more sewage. Near Cumberlznd is a- dam which converts the river into a large settling basin for the mingled waters of Will’s creek and the Potomac. “Will’s creek receives the drainage of all those parts of Cumberland lining its banks. More than 100 privies are built upon its re- taining wall. Three sewers and the waste from the gas house, a tannery, a dye house, brewery, a distillery, a cement miil, a pulp mill, a glass factory, soap factory and slaughter house empty therein. “Into the Potomac branch of the reser- voir flow two open drains, which bear the waste of privies and water closets. The intake pipe is 1,300 feet long and is crossed by the drains just mentioned. “Will's creek has a residue of 398, chlo- rine, .26; free ammonia, .29; afbuminoid ammonia, .24. The water contained in the reservoir formed by the dam is the mixed water of Will's creek and Potomac river. “Under certain circumstances currents flow up the Potomac from Will’s creek, and as the influence of the dam is percep- tible at three miles distance, the influence of Will's creek must in time of low water be always present at the intake pipe, which is but 1,600 feet distant.” Suggestions Made. Dr. Fulton states as his conclusion that the conversion of Potomac river water in- to a potable supply can be effected by building a second dam across the Potomac above Will's creek, diverting into another channel all the drainage of Cumberland at present emptying into the north branch of the Potomac, and by abating, as far as possible, the many nuisances and sources of pollution upon the stream and its tribu- taries. The report adds that these reforms cannot be carried so far as to relieve the city of the necessity of constructing a filter bed and reservoir. Attention is called to the necessity of prompt action against the cause of con- tamination in the city itself, where, the re- port states, there must be serious defects of construction or material, if it be true that the pollution of river water increases in passing through 1,600 feet of intake pipe. —_—_ ORDERS FOR PUBLIC WORK.

Work of Bruen Home for Deserted and Friendless Wom The Bruen Home was opened for desti- tute, deserted and friendless women and children and for betrayed girls. No wo- man of known vicious character or of evil life is received ss a member of the house- hold. No one is permitted tg remain in the home, it is declared, who by language or behavior would contaminate the atmos- phere in which little children should live. The pitiful class known as “fallen wo- men” are excluded from the home, as am- ple provision is made for them elsewhere. The “unfortunate” woman who is often far from being a degraded woman is gladly welcomed, as it is tis class to whom kindness, protection and shelter is often a Saving boon. It is to give hope to the de- spairing “unfortunate,” and to shelter the deserted and destitute mother and her chil- dren, that Bruen Home claims recognition. During the eleven months of its existence its growth has been marvelous. It has be- coming necessary to enlarge its quarters, and tie institytion was removed Octover 1, to the large and commodious residence at 436 M street northwest. This house of nineteen rooms and laundry, with large grounds, is well adapted to the work. There work for self-support can be carried on on a much larger scale Than formerly, for the home receives no appropriation from Cou- ress and is su»ported by the generosity of citizens and the work of the members of the househcld. One of the chief features of the work is the day nursery. About twenty little chil- dren, from a few months to seven years of age, are cared for. Several of the moth- ers of these children go out to work all day and pay a small amount to have their children cared for. At night the mother has a home to return to. where she may be with her children and be protecicd from temptation. There is a sunny nursery and play room indcors for the little ones, and large, grassy grounds outside. But one baby died during the heated term. The health of the family of over forty persons has been good. Excellent workers are fur- nished from those in the home who are able to work, and whom the management feel willing to recommend. The home is incorporated with nine di- rectors, of whom Rev. W. L. Bruen, the benefactor of the home, is president. There are fift24n or eighteen advisory members of the board of directors, from various churches. There is a growing annual mem- bership, among whom ure some of the best known citizens of the Distriet. It is proposed to give a house-warming on the anniversary of the organization, to which all contriputors and friends will be welcomed. ‘The enlargement of the work brings many pressing needs which the man- agement feel sure it need only mention to bring a quick response from the generous citizens of Washington. Tie immediate needs of the home are as follows: Lamp, chairs for all parts of the house, cuftains, bedding of 211 sorts, table linen, table ware of all sorts, plain bureau, washstands, Thin in flesh? ural.
