10 NEW YORK HERALD, RRIDAY, CHARITY. ANNUAL. MEETING OF THE STATE CHARITIES AID SOCIETY—ADDRESS OF CHARLES O'CONOR. The fourth annual meeting of the State Charities Aid Association at the Masonic Temple last evening was 4 very brilliant affair, The audience had among its Bumbers some of the most prominent mea in the city, accompanied by their wives and daughters. ‘There was no attempt at decoration in the Templo, It was simply lighted; the green carpet on the platform was relieved only by @ basket of choice lilies apd other flowers on the centre table. The place was open before half-past seven, and shortly after that hour the greater part of the seats were occupied, About a quarter to eight Mr. Joseph H, Choate and friends came in, and there was @ gen- eral feeling of disappointment’ at the non-appearance of Mr. Charles 0’Conor, who, it was feared, although only a few steps away, in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, might not be able to come, But this fear was dispelled before eight o'clock by the appearance at the foot of ‘the centre aisle of Mr, O'Conor, accompanied by Gov- ervor Tilden, Dr, Austin Flint, Jr., and Mr. Choate. The great lawyer walked steadily and firmly up to the side room, chatting pleasantly with his friends, and looking remarkably well for one who had so recéntly recovered trom such a terrible illness, As #oon as the audience were fully aware of his presence it greeted him with a round of hearty applause, which was repeated when he appeared on the platform, followed by Governor Til- den, Mr. Potter, Mr. Choate, Theodore Roosevelt aud others. He tovk the chair and the pro- ceedings were opened at once by Mr. How- ard Potter, who said:—It picases me to in- vie to the chair. this evening Mr. 0'Conor— pplanse)—and 1 sure it is «pleasure shared by everybody here to see among us again one who bad done so much good. (Applause. ) CHARLES O'CONOR’S SPERCH. After a pause Mr. O'Conor rose quietly and, in steady tones, said that the bonor of being selected Dy the distinguisned lady to whose taste sand fine judgment the society was in- a for ‘the foundation of the institution to sit in her seat for one ning were honor enough for @ citizen of our great Commonwealth to boast of or desire without tho necessity of the unmeasured eulo- gium of Mr. Potter pronounced from the kinaness of his hear, inthis assembly, so large und go enlight- ened, was some evidence of the great and useful char- acter the institution has established for itselt. It was a pecuhanty of this great soelety that while, most Otber charitable organizations devote themselves to some form of fuith that bappened to suit the taste of those who at the moment were in power, it was this association's happy office to show that faith is a pure ofspring of a pure heart, The members are happy to permit the State government to have little to zg do with faith, but they are willing to leave charity to the State ‘True, the shortcom- ings ‘of the State administration bave been very marked and distinct, but they have deen from time to time rectified ‘by benevolent persons ‘on the voluntary principle. Mr. O’Conor believed taat i this great city at least the institutions of this latter class would bear a very favorable comparison with those which are conducted through the action of the State. But it was reserved for the founders of this institution to organize voluntary charity and to Dring it into active operation as @ copart- ner with the officials of the State in ad- ministering relief to distress. They had thus divided, it’ may be said, with that more corporate thing, the State, the merit andthe honor of charitablo ministrations, And they bad thus elevaced it from the mere rank of an official and rewarded duty. They had elevated it to the character of a genuine and re- warded offspringof the human heart, This charity, from being amere State institution, was gradually becoming a practice and habit among individeals, and, above all, among the fairer half of creation. {Applanse.) For it was to the ladies that the poopie ‘were chicfly indebted for the foundation of this volun- tary system of organized charity, and it was to their perseverance and genuine effor ether with the aid of certain benevolent gentlemen’ that the people were indebted for it, Most fortunate was it for those ladies who could by circumstances min- aster to the needy in a great community like this, The laaies might well say, if such"an opportunity had not presented itself, ‘‘We are not burdencd with cares or employment and the duties pertaining to domestic life. We have time and leisure, and 1t does not conform to our character as women to devote ourselves solely to enjoyment.” But they might well find something to show they have capacity for governmental exercises, Nothing was more fitting for their spare time than ministering to the needs of sufferers. It was in this that woman veritied the saying that “Charity blesseth the giver as well as the receiver.” (Applause.) Mr. Howard Potier then read the treasurer's, Library, Hospital, Outdoor Relief and Children’s commitices re- ports, as well as the following :— “REPORT OP COMMITTEK ON ABLE BODIRD PAUPERS. This committee, at its meeting held in October last, resolved to investigate the methods, expenses, extent and results of poor law administration and relief in the several towns in the county of Westchester, with a view to ascertaining how near the same come w the greatest practical efficiency and economy. During the ten years trom 1864 to 1874. Ip fifteen of the twenty- three towns correspondents were found, and spent much time and iroubie in getting at the facts required, as in ouly,five towns were records kept of the amount spent in outdoor relief or of the persons relieved during the ten years referred to—a direct violation of the law. The amounts appropriated for the relief of the poor by the supervisors appear in the annual reports of that Board, but the town overseers have left no record of the amount spent or the manner of spending. Neither in Yonkers, Cortlandt nor Ossining, which towns appro- priated respectively $14,500 in seven years, and $19,000 and $8,000 in cleven years, are any records to he found. There are in Westchester county three supe?intendents of the poor, elected by the county, who receive $3 per day woen ‘serving and their travelling expenses. It is their duty to mauage the Poor House and provide for the couuty’ poor. These last are but few in number, but had increased from six- teen persons in 1864 two fifty-four persons in 1873 They receive from 60 cents to $1 a week in money, and require the recommendation of a supervisor in order to obtain this reef. The County Poor House re- lieved in 1864 480 resident and 376 transient poor. These numbers increased, though not in like propor- tion, until in 1871 there were 687 resident and 1,158 transient inmates. The next year 589 resident and 1,081 transient, and the next 624 resident and onty 810 transent papers, while in 1874 the number of transient inmates had again risen to 1,690, and the resident poor were 660. The Poor House cost the county for its maintenance in 1864 $19,749 46, and the expenses in- treased almost steadily, until in 1873 the cost was $28/196 87. Tho testimony ia that it has been honestly and economically managed. Fall records are kept of the persons received, their circumstances, &c., and the Kveper gives it as his opinion that fully five-sixths of all those admitted have sunk to that degradation in eonsequence of intemperance. Besides these superin- tendents there are in Westchester county thirty-six town overseers of the poor, who are clected each year by their respective towns, the decision resting with the voters whether they will have one or twa Four- teen of the towns have two, while the remaining pine have but one overseer.’ The duties of these officials are many; the only one apparently performed by them is that of supplying relief to the town poor, under which term are included in most of the towns all the vagrants who apply for aid. According to the reports of the Boards of Supervisors the amounts ap- propriated for the poor by the towns from 1864 to 1873, inclusive, were as follow: $11,725; 1865, $13,039 ; 1866, $10,902; 1867, $10,915; 1865, $12,803; 1809, $1,400; 1870," $7.61 $4,310; 1872, $3,410; 1878, $4,378, amounting to $91,627 for the ten years. During the jast three years no appropriations were mad the town supervisors of East ver, Rochelle, Pelham, _Poundriage, Westchester, White Plains, Yonkers or In several of the towns the pro- Ry Yorktown, ortion of transient to resident poor is very large. ‘he system of entertaining tramps is peculiar every- where, but different in different towns In somo the overseers have provided onthouses on their own promises, where these vagrants are herded to- gether at night and fed at the overseer’s house. He re- ports the number lodged and fed, and receives his on making an afidavit that the account is correct, compensation differs widely in the several towns Io none does there seem to be any check upon him. {i is evident that the persons directly interested in the conduct of those officials should not help to choose them, that their term ot office must be long enough to enable them vo gain some experience, and that their compensation must not be dependent upon the number dt paupers and vagrants whom they could collect ‘round them. . MR. CHOATR’S ADDRESS. Mr, Joseph H. Choate was called upon by the chair- man to deliver the annual address. Mr. Clioate said that he was sure that the audience would hardly excuse bim if he did not attempt to expresa satisiaction at Mr. O’Conor’s presence in the chair, They ail knew full well how very great was tne anxiety bh which the citizens had waited for his recovery. Wr. O'Conor has enjoyed the inestimable privilege of fending bis own obituary. — Tbey all, too, remembered tow be had put bimself four years ago at tho tead of the great rpetual exile that band of piunderers that bea fastened themselves pon our city, The people saw the bead of the Bar turn his back apon his legitimate and aimself to thetr interests in a work utterly o terative pecumartiy, rema- asurably bestowed, | reform which buried into | Alderman, and now Supérvisor of the Thirtee: lucrative practice and devote | Schroeder, Tho jarge number of judges to | Silas P. Dutcher, Colonel J. H. Bergen and THE LIEDERKRANZ BALL. A GRAND DISPLAY OF TOILETS AND COSTUMES— | vo PROCESSION, THE MUSIC AND THE MISE- EN-SCENE, ; Multitude of maskers who came to enjoy themselves at | the ball given by the Liederkranz Society. The ball was @ grand success, ag is usual with the Liederkranz, and expected. It was estimated that fully 3,000 persons were present at midnight, when the festivities were at their height, and the scene on the floor was one not easily forgotten by those fortunate enough to see it, The corridors were magnificiently decorated with immense pyramids of vatural flowers and foliage, and there were several vases of plants placed around the onter :edge of the floor, thus lend- ing additional beauty to the scene The perfume from the exotics was overpowering and the air seemed laden with the delicious scents. Hither and thither in the coridors strange forms flitted, all strictly masked, Kings and queens were elbowed | by peasants, clowns made grimaces at high- | born dames and all nations were constantly | appearing and disappearing. A great deal of fun was | caused at the ladies’ dressing room door by the confu- sion produced by mistaken caveliers carrying off the wrong damsels. In fact, all the features, mishaps and pleasures only scen or experienced at a mammoth masked ball were enjoyed or suffered, and the Lieder- | Kranz ball wagall that it was expected to be. THE PROCESSION, though quite suddenly at an end, was, in some re- spects, ahead of those of former years. Its humorous features were rather a disappointment. The Centen- nial portion was, however, elaborately prepared, richly dressed and grouped attractively, went up a few minutes a tiresome wait, and disclosed to view a forest sceno, with various reptiles crawling about in every direction. The scene changed, and in the centre, on a pyramidal} platform, stood Columbia, surrounded by Commerce, | Industry, Manufactures, Music, Poetry, Puainung, Sculpture, &c. Ranged in frout stood a dozen or more pages. The Floor Committee, attired in costumes of the time of Louis XV., were grouped upon the platform. On one side of the stage the scene was set to represent the rich tropical beauty of Florida, On the other was set a picture of the bleak New Eng- land coast, On one side entered a Spanish galleon with De Soto, while to the other point came the Mayflower. Then the procession formed, headed by a squad of Continentals and made up of representatives of different nations in ludicrous garb. Ireland had a rifle team, Germany had a Bis- marck whipping a ow ultramontanes who danced be- neath the lash, and Africa had a gorilla Jed with a chain by Stanley. After one or two circles of the platform the procession was a thing of the past, and the ball opened, ‘ OPENING THE BALL. In regular order and according to the programme | the dignitaries marched around and around the room, as told above, First around the outer edge of the dancing platform, then up, down and across the middle, until the ‘scene became picturesque and be- | wildermmg. The lines of many-colored costumes in a moment were broken up, and as the band began to intone tho first waltz here and there throughout the amazing scene began appeared to be ittle circling eddies, | what | and in another moment the whole party which had | taken part in the procession was whirling in the mazes of a waltz, Priests and nuns, kings and queens, | counts and countesses, lords and Jadies, ail joinea in | the general merriment, Among the distinguished | gentlemen on tho " floor were Do Soto, ; General George Washington, General Lafayette, | the Pope, the Czar, Don Carlos, a gorilla, @ goose, and other geese too nuinerous to mention. Besides, the floor was soon filled with charming sou- | brettes, handsome cavaliera, delicious Spanish maids, | Indian princesses and European peasants of all natic alities, The costumes were unique, costly and han some, while the characters were al] well sustained. | The fun grew fast and furious. Giving full sway to the abandon of the occasion, all seemed to enjoy themselves to their fuil bent, and so the hours passed rapidly until daylight. The music was under the direction of A. Bernstein and F. Leiboldt and was a feature in itself, At half- past nine o'clock Unrath’s *‘Konig Karl” march, a con- cert overture by Netbig and a selection from Rossini’s glorious opera, “William Teli,’? were given by the orchestra. When the tableau representing Columbia, surrounded by the nations of the world, was unveiled, the bands above and below, and. seemingly from every quarter of the house burst forth in the stirring strains of “Hail Columbia.’ Seldom has the grand old national air been rendered with such brilliant effect. Then the ba began, the floor filled up gradually with dancers and at last the looker-on from the boxes saw costumes, glittering armors, parti-colored gay toilets and the other paraphernalia of 'a Liederkranz The dancing programme ball in bewildering variety. was as follows :— 1.

Ere THE BOWDOIN ALUMNI DINNER. The Bowdoin College Alumni Association had a very enjoyable dinner at Delmonico’s last night At tho business meeting which preceded the dinner the fol- lowing officers were elected for the ensuing year:— President, N.

Hawkins, Charlton H- Lewis, President Allen, of the Girard College of Phila, delphia; Dr. Hawes, John Cotton Smith and Dr. George F. Jackson. After the cloth was removed the Presi- dont, Mr. Cothren, in a few bappy remarks, called on Professor Sewall, who said that the people did not look ‘on the College buildings as the expression of Bowdoin prosperity, but they must look to the students in such an assembly as the one he addroesed tor an idea of the individuality which characterized Professor B, 1. Chapman then spoke brietly and wittily, in the course of which he brought forth some legends of the old Knickerbocker feasts in order to typify the good cheer prevalent at Delmonico’s on such occasions as the meeting of the Bowdoin alumni. Mr. William H. Allen, of Girard College, was the next sptakor, who expressed his grati- fication at meeting his fellow gradu: . After review. ing the college life, the speaker said that the course of Bachelor and Master of Arts was the only proper education; for leaving students without classical the college. PAY '| studies was like sending soldiers into battle ony half armed. Mr. Dexter A. Hawkins delivered a telling address, tn which he said the classical Cornelia called her sons jeweis, and deduced therefrom tbe fact the sons of were the jewels of their Alma Mater. After more speeches the enjoyable meeting was brought to a close , BANQUET TO HON. DEMAS STRONG. As a testimonial of the esteem in which he is held by his constituency and the citizens of Williamsburg gen- eral'y, a complimentary banquet was given Hon, Demas Strong at the Lyceum, corner of South Eighth and Fourth streets, Williamsburg, last evening, About 190 guests sat down to the feast, At the close of the sumptuous repast Rev, Dr. E. S Porter delivered an | address, to which Mr, Strong, ex-State Senator, ex- ward, responded, and then, in regular order, the following ntlemen responded to the usual sentiments Bernard ters, Judge Joseph Neilson, Judge Moore, Mayor eneral Tracy, Rev. 8.

He dealt as clev with the aay the audience and the Jovernor, each of whom treated to a spectal chap- erp bis address, Of the Governor be said that bis seart had always been open to calls of charity, but of ate years he had had another distinction—that “img breaker’’—and was now, though ready to rest on vis laarels, like Alexander, looking for more rings to oreak,” The remainder of the speech was a review of de reports, The meeting then adjourned, ’, ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
