THE SOUP KITCHENS. No less than 6,300 persons were furnished with good warm soup yesterday at the digerent soup Kitehens under Mr. Deimonico’s management, of ‘whom about 4,500 were women and children, The rash to the Eighteenth ward soup house, in avenue A and Nineteenth street, was really enough to aMect the most stolid heart. A large num- | ber of Germans here applied for the soup, «and, after receiving it in their large cans or small kettles, a8 the case might be, they thanked the cooks ip @ hearty manner. At most 0! the soup kitchens good bread was fur- nished yesterday to the poor, aud in the Sixth pre- cepct Myer & Lane dovated 500 loaves of bread, and Dr. Hearne donated 100 loaves of bread toward the poor of the ward, One family of eight | persons, five of whom were sick, and there being no fre in the house, apphed for soup at | the Eighteenth ward soup house yesterday, and wok away eight quarts.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— The HERALD deserves well of the city for its fearless attack upon the abuses that have crept into the management of some of our benevolent institutions under the sacred name of charity; aad it is unquestionably the duty of every good citizen to aid in bringing about the greatly needed reform. I propose to call attention to several of these societies reported in the HERALD, and tor | the present occasion will conine myseli to one— | viz, the New York Juvenile Asylum, under the residency and chief management of Mr. A. R. yetmore. | J have carefully examined the annual reports of | this institution jor several years past, but have | not been able to obtain thereirom any definite or fatisiactory information in regard to the disburse. | ments. e are specifically iniormed that 16,303 singie stockings were darned at the establish- | ment during the past year, but are leit utterly in the dark In regard to all Suancial details. ‘This society is the owner of property worth at the present time, in the opinion of competent judges, over $1,000,000, the cost of which was drawn Jrom the pockets of over-taxed citizens of this city. It receives from the city by spectal State legisla- | on $75,000 to $100,000 per annum for its support, | and it provides on an average for only about 600 thuuren. If we take into account the interest on the prop erty owned by the society we shali find that the | Fea) cost to the city of each child provided for is | $270 to $500 a year, or more than twice the appar- Dt Cost as reported by the oMficers of the institu- | tion. The lowest estimate we have seen of the | number of destitute chidren wandering about in the streets of New York 18 35,000. If these should , be provided tor at the same costly rate it | would involve an expense to the city of about | $60,000,000 Jor real estate and improvements and @p annual expenditure of $4,500,000 to $6,000,000 | Jor their support.

Washington’s Birthday at Fifteenth Ward Relief Associ: jon. The poor of the Fifteenth ward had ample reason to rejoice yesterday at the plentiful and whole- some repast set before them. About 170 gallons of fish chowder, the bountiful gift of Messrs. | Arcutartus & Co., of Nos. 81, 83 and 86 Fulton | Fish Market, were ladled out to the poor unfortu- nates whom hunger had compelled to ask for food. The day was celebrated in a royal manner at the soup house. All who called, withont distinction, were given as much as they could eat. Several of | the inhabitants of the ward have generously given | their aid in carrying out this worthy and beneticent object. It was determined that the holiday in celebration of the birthday of the Father of his | Country should be the occasion of @ lasting re- membrance on the part of those whom hunger had | compelied to thus seek ior aid. The chowder was | rich, excellent and nutritious, and worthy of ay | of our best restaurants, To Messra. Arcularius | Co., Mr. Heatherton and the gentlemen aiding him in this project the loudest praises are dae. It is to be hoped their example will be still further fol- | lowed in the ward. Mr. Heatherton is thinking of establishing another soup house in another part of the ward, and seems to feel determined that novody in the ward shall longer tee) the pangs of hunger.

THE PROCEEDINGS. Mr. Stuart Brown presided over the meeting. Messrs. Jonathan Edwards and Francis stout were elected secretaries, On motion of Mr, THEODORE ROOSEVELT the reso- inion adopted at @ former public meeting (and previousiy publighed in the HERALD), by which the Bureau was created, was read by che Secre- wary, Mr. THEODORE Roosevevs, on behalf of the Bu- reau, then sald that with the co-operation of many societies they were already enabied to give & good account of themselves, and the hag mee | of real | modesny. unwilling to give the information sought S the Bureau. He would now read the report of the Committee of Nine, and then ask that they be discharged from the further consideration of the sadject, The reading of the report was several times interrupted by applause when relerence Was made w abuses practised under the guise of | , and the expenses on account of salaries. The tullowing is the report: Upon examining the objects for which we were i Pointed the task seemed more than we could reasonab expect to bring to jnccesstul iasue. We determined. fheretore, to ask no sid from the public until satated i woald be accomplishea. We therefore subscribed to detray the necessary expenses, and being relieved of all office rent through the Kindness of the Commissioners of Charities, have been enabled for this sum, to entirely test ats practicability. Our trst duty Was to inquire into the actual condition of the poor, as schemes were pro- free lodgilgs, ac.—which, unless ndiciously, threatened to do yy bringing “'a large pauper class city, and teaching those here who | Were then independent to rely on others for thelr sup- ort, We fonnd that the number of cases of extreme ardship is anuch exaggerated, and would be more easily met by increasing the ability to give of the present or- gautzations than by multiplying them. The report of our sub-committee on the subject had a reassu fi upon the pablic mind. ine importance of u who received reliet had long been appareptto ali who bad siudied the subject. Much that was given was expended on the unworthy, who would deceive those who bad chasge of distributing it, aud ebtain aid from several societies at once, concealing trom each that they were receiving aid from any other. By employing copyists to save trouble to the large 30- cletios, at a slight expense we were enabled to register 1,000 names a day. with all details of address, age, amount given to euch and any remarks Our only delay has been caused by the want of proper co-operation trom some of the very societies for whose benefit it was being done; but even among the 10000 names now on our books we find many of this class. Our system of inditing by curds proves very simple, yall those of ¢ sume hame from all the societies fall’ immediately together. and we are enabled at once to notify each s0- ciety of the amount given the same beneficiary by all the other societies, tis only necessary that ali new names on the books of each should be lmibediately reported to us in order wo suppress this evil and allow the money to go to the worthy poor instead of to those who obiain more than they require through deceit It is not ouly the thousands of dollars improperly expended that will be saved, but it will take away the premium now actu- ally paid for dishonesty. We foand many organizations to carry out the same object. and always enough to recommend which were well conducted, and which, without any additional ex- pense of salaries, wages. &¢., could be increased to cover Any want that existed among any class. some societies have been bronght to our notice unworthy of support. conducted for the purpose of putting money in the pock- ets of those who Jor it in the name of charity. These it Would be our duty to expose, and ineanwhile the very fact that we do not recommend them will put donors on their guard. Several cases have occurred | where our advice has been asked already with regard to the best channels through which to give large dona- tions, and the importauce of @ bureau to xive import- ant ‘advice is @ want that been long telt.

Rev. Dr. HOWARD CROSBY said the citizens of New York bad eminent cause to be satisfied with the workings of the Bureau of Uharitics ana the Tesuits achieved since its organization. The ques- tion was one which came home to every citizen of New York, but which no man could solve individa- ally. It must be solved by a committee with whom the authorities are willing to work cheer- fully, It was too serious a matter to be thrust aside by the unstable actions of certain societies Neited. He hoped that the work would go op and that the meeting would urge the commit e tO go | on til the whole problem was Batislactorily solved, Rev. Dr. Powers gave the committee his coraial | gocepean, and expressed the hope that they would ontinue their work to the end, Mr. PRINCE, of Westchester, observed that the Bureau would extend all over the State and tend everywhere to direct charity into its proper chan- nels. Kev. Dr. Goss inquired what the committee in- tended to do, Mr. THEODORE ROOSEVELT explained the objects of the Bureau at leagth, It was to register the names of all beneficiaries, to DETECT FRAUDULENT CHARITIES and to direct benevolent donors to imstitutions exactly meeting their requirements. Judge DaLy expressed his sincere pleasure at the practical character of the report which had een read to the meeting. He had had consider- charitable institutions, and had for years ielt the need of just the work which the Bureau had done. The people of this city gave, in proportion to their wealth, more money for benevolent purposes than was given by any other city in the world. The great difficulty was that the public knew so little of the administration of institations which attempted to be the people’s almoners. This report of the com- mittee went to the very root of the evil. in the first place the committee had begun by ascertain- ing who the poor were in @ universai point of view. They had registered the cames of 11,000 benefi- ctaries, They had aimed at ascertaining their wants and needs and the best method of adminis- tering tothem. In his humble judgment this em- braced the whole question. The committee had | | | probed the disease of pauperism and poverty in ihe proper manner. They ascertained trom the persons they registered the names of the institu- tions which gave them relief, and from the insti tutions they ascertained what persons they sup- ported. They thus learned the number of persons who obtained relie! without manifesting 4A DISPOSITION 10 LABOR, This class must always be numerous in a large city like New York.

C. Goss, thought that if ine committee intended to tighten the purse strings o! the chari. | table citizens of New York they were doing a great wrong. The Rev. Dr. Hall, who was a prominent member of the committee, was p/ten quoted as de- livering speeches on the otnee side and the ten- dency Of which was to restrict people's charity. Now he (the speaker) knew the condition of the deserving poor in this city, and it was his opinion that any movement to tigtten"the parse strings of the benevolent would prove highiy tujurious to them, He was not one of those who were afraid that people gave too much; no, he apprehended that people gave too little.

(Lively apy > v. Soun HAue said the last speaker but one thoaght it proper to individualize him as one of the heads of the committee, and as attempting to limit the donations of the charitable. He was only one of the many who had done their, duty, but sincerely disclaimed that =e had intended to “tighten” anybody's purse strings. He would say, however, that at the beginning of the winter he entertained great fears that the city would be overrun by poor people from afi parts of the country, and he knew that many were even about to leave their comfortable Jarms to come here. No practical Christian could wittingly foster pauperism, and, without going into detalis, be could say that they were drifting to @ condition which might well alarm every tax- ayer in New York. (Appiause.) He had never intended to limit the liberality of New York, and he knew that there was not a more generous, chantable people in Ohristendom than was here in this clty of New York. It was all the more shame- ful thas meu should be found here as aposties of charity who deserved to go to State Prison. (Loud avpiause.) There were men here convected with institutions who had been openly declared to be swindiers and challenged to sue the accuser for libel * WITHOUT HAVING DONE IT. He thought that enough money was given through she existing chartties, provided it reached the right hands and the provisions reached the right (Applause,) The modest poor, the chilled the heart of benevolence as much as the fact that there were actually well known charities here which were trading on pubiic benificence. ‘There were 316 separate socteties here, and how could any one guarantee that i Jen Smith tells a pitas Story to one of them he does not aiso tell it the others? He had been with the all his fe, and he could say that the worst foes of tne real deserving poor were the impostors, some 20,000 in namber, that were living on the misdi- rected charity of Christian people in this city. Briel remarks were then made by James W. Beekman, Rev. Dr. yonn Parker and Howard Potter, ot the State Board of Charities.

New York, Feb, 22, 1874, To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— I desire to make known to you the case of Mrs. | Hanberg, of No. 61 James street, in this city. She has five children and is in danger of being turned into the street, for non-payment of her rent, unless she is helped to-day. Her husband nas been out of work for @ long time; the oldest of ber children is but eight years old and on Saturday she was trying to collect a lew mnies for food, She did not then know of the existence of the soup houses, and being informed, expressed much gratitude— but her great need is relief from the apprehension of losing shelter (such as it 1s) for her little flock. 1am sure some of our charitable friends will re- hieve her on sight.
