8 1S NOW TWELVE HUNDRED Cash Oontributions for Relief of Destitute Oame in Rapidly Yesterday. PLANS ADOPTED BY THE COMMITTEE It Will andle All Fonds on Orders En- dorsod by Associated Charities—What Commissioners Are inoourngements the County Doing—Much The charity committee of fifteen appointed At Wednesday night's mass meeting met at 4 0'clock yesterday afternoon at the mayor's ofico ana completed its organization, ele ing Jobn Rush secretary and Alfred Mill treasurer, Mr. I, L. Kimball explained the worling of the Associated Charities. He said that €0 familics were now being helped, and that thus far no meritorious applic haa been refused. He was quite cer however, that the resources of the organt: zation would not be cqual to the demands that would be made in the next two months. The means used to prevent imposture were detailed, and the system of solicitation for relief funds by the 200 ladies who are look- ing after that Kk in as many districts, into which the city had been divided. Mr. Rush advoeated turning over all funds raised to the Associated Charities for dis- tribution, in order to sccure a who'ly satis factory und impartial relief on a business system that has already commended it self Chairman Yates thought it would be well 10 issue supplies to the various charitable organizations on request and reauire from them daily or woekly reports. He had been particularly impressed with the system of chavity dispensation conducted under the dircetion of Dr. Duryea. W. A, Roberson put in a good word for Rescue hall and thought an iinmense amount of good could be done by aiding that institu- tion. I, T, Clarke wanted the assistance that miight be given so rendered as to not wound the feelings of unfortunate persons, and that it be not given as ¢ v, a8 that tended t9 inculeate a spirit of indolence. He favored the plan pursued by Dr. Duryea. C. F. Weller was satistied that the com- mittee would be imposed on if it attempted to look after the disposition of the funds, and thought 1t better to raise all the money possible and turn it over to the Associ ited Charitics. Comumitteo Will Handle Funds, After some discussion, participated in by Thomas Kilpatrick, -Dr. Miller, Mr. Yates and Mayor Bemis, it was decided to have the citizens' relief committee handle all funds and to honor all requisitions for help. In order t o guard against dublicate cases it was decided to refer all requests to the Associnted Charities for cndorsement afd Yecord, Requests from any charitable ov- ganization or relief society will also re attention. Mayor Bemis urged immediate action and a scarcity of red tape methods. A motion was unanimously carried to donate fifty cords of wood to the Assiciated vities and 200 loaves of bread per day to Rescue hall at once. Heury W. Yates, the chairman, was authorized o respond to all requests deserving of attention which may be reported before the committec meets again next Saturday at noon. ‘After consideration of methods of raising a popular subscription to relieve every deservinz case of poverty in the city and raise afund to alleviate suffering during the entire winter, the following committee was appomted to solicit a chavity fund: Charles I. Weller, John S. Brady, Curtis Turner, Victor B. Caldwell, Judge Davis, V. J. Connell, Dr. Miller, J." A. Creighton, N. A. Kuhn, George W. Kelley and Frank Murphy.

To commemorate the event which gave to Scotland a Robert Burns and the world a poet, Scottish clans gathered at Wash- ington hall last night. Only stand- ing room was to bBe had, when Cbief J. C. Buchanan commenced his short address of welcome to the large audience, and invited all members to a full varticipation in the enjoyments of the oc- casion of the fourth anunual concert, tn celebration of the anniversary of the illustrious poet. None failed, seem- ingly, to enter into this spivit, and with song, instrumentul music and native dances, the hours wero spent with tho patron saint of Scottish song, whose picture adorned the title page of the program. Without oxception every number was well ived and generously appisuded. Mr Lombard sang, “O.Are Ye Sleeping, “und was followed by Miss Georgia M. DeCon in My Heart is Sair for Some- body." Dr. Patterson’s Ad “The Memory of Burns”’ was the subject of an address by Kev. J. M. Puatterson, who said substantially: “Sometimes Americans objeet to the im- migrant, but never to the Scotch- man. Foreigners may gather to plot against the stars and stripes, thoe Scotchman -~ never. We see 1in Lim a man after our own heart and our gates are, ther open to him. “Any American ht be giad to be called Scotchman. Why does this nationality bear such an affectionate remembrance of Robert Burns? Because he was the true poet of their native country. Poetry is the incarnation of truth. It is necessary for him to enter into keencst sympathy with his theme, and Burns did this. He sang the hopes and fears, the joys and sorrows of his people as an intense Scotchman only can. ‘The commonest laborer proud of his handiwork after a perusal of Burns, There was a time when to be a Scotchman was not a thing to be proud of. Wars, removals of national emblems and disloyalty of the men of let- ters put the spirit of patriotism at low ebb. Burns succeeded in reviving 1t. He sang the nation’s heroic history and her beautiful scenery, and thereby became the true patron saint of patriotism. “But he was more than a Scotchman. He was the mouthpicce for all bhumanity. Hence it follows that Scotch-Irish-Ameri- cans take-such a keen mterest in him and revere his momory by a celebration of the event of his birth.” Scoteh Songs and Highland Fling.

The first number in part second of the pro- gram consisted of u highly avpreciated ad- dress by Mr. Thomas Kilpatrick, who, in the course of his remarks, recited o poem by America's own Quaker poet with Burns in memory, Of him the speaker said that there could” be no greater boon to a pco})lu than a_genuine poct.

Only on five stocks did the transactions exceed 5,000 shares, these being St. Paul, which was the leader of the market, Sugar, Burlington, Western Union and Lowsville & Nashville. St. Paul re- ceded ' per cent at the opening and then advanced 5 per cent, fluctuating between these extremes until the publication of the net earnings for December was made, which showed a heavier decrease than anticipated. This precipitated a sharp selling movement, which brought heavy blocks of the stock out. 13{ per ceut resulted, the last being the lo t price of the day. Sugar closed at yesterday’s final figures and at no time during the day touched a point more than ! per cent below that quotation, In the early dealings it rose 1 per cent, but lost the improvement in th te trading. The preferred fluctuated within a limiv of 114 per cent, closing s yesterday at 82. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy lost !4 per cent at the opening, rose o per cent und in the after- noon siump broke 11 per cent, with a final rally of 1 per cent. Western Union was firmly held until late in the afternoon, when it became affected by the general depression, but only slightly, the last sale being only 15 per cent under yesterduy's cl Louisville & Nashville moved between 453 and 44}g, closing ¢ per cent above the lowest at yesterday's quotations. The other conl stocks were eutirely conservauve in their movements, London sold St. Paul Nashville, and the W grangers on the announcement that the Atchisou receivers had made a cut on corn and wheat from Missouri river pownts. The question in congress as to the new loan had a depressing offect on the general market, which closed heavy at or about the lowest of the day. The Post says: The stock market was firmly held until the closing hours when it appeared that some considerable fecling was undep way, and especially in granger stock for this the chief cause was the St. Paul's statement of the December net earnings, which was unfavorable, The following are the closing quotations on the leading stocks on the New York ex- change toda and Louisville & t was a seller of i 168 i 10344 do pref'd......

Baron von Herlespich, mister of com- merce industry, declared the governmont re- garded the fulfiliment of such a request impossible, as no state would consent to fetter its liberty by international treaties. Currency on a sliding scale would have, in the opinion of the minfster of commerce, serious consequences for Germau husbandry and the goverument would prefer not to cot- clude treaties rather than introduce such novel features. In the aiscussion which followed, Herr Friedorf, natic 1 liberal, advocated nter- national settlement of tho currency ques- tion. y A motion to meet earhier tomorrow, in view of Prince Bismarck's arrival, was re- Jected, AR Closing cloaks,Scofield’s Puxton block. largceas Mexico's Postal Code, Crry or Mexico, Jan. 25.—The postal code of Mexico is to be materiaily reformed and generally improved.

According to the books of a chattel mort- gage agent in Omaha Mrs, Maggie Alexander, the wife of an invalid Grand Army man liv- ng near Sixteenth and Corby streets, hus & mortgage on her meager houschoid goods and furnishings to the amount of §.50, but if any effort is over made to foreclose on that mortgage or to collect the notes for whicb it Is security there will be a lively time of it and tho law may bo mvoked to prevent a further bleeding of the woman by the chattel Shylocks, Mrs, Alexander has had a remarkable ex- perience with the mortgage men. She hus in the lust two years paid interest on an original loan of §10 and still has a claim of £4.50 of the principal against her and has her furniture mortgaged as sccurity for the payment of the amount. Oppression Discovered, The Alexanders live on the alley between Sixteenth and Seventeenth and Ohio and Corby streets. The family consists of an aged husband and wife and several children. Two years ago, in November, 1801, Mrs. Al- exander was driven, by reason of continued sickness in her family, to mortgage her scanty stock of furniture and household ef- fects for §10. In securing this she went to the oftice of Fred Terry in the Ramgze block, and gave a note for $10 payable toa man named Burroughs at Bellevue, and as secur- ity gave the usual gage on her property The note was an_innocent affuir, simply calling for interest at the rate of 10 por cefht per annum¢ But there were incidental features that cut quite a figure in the pay- ment of the claims. Mrs. Alexander has had a very serious time of it for the past two years. Her husband has becowea con- firmed invalid and it is all that the woman can possibly do to keep herself and family from absolute want, Even this ghe has not been able to do lately and it was through the people to whom shie applicd for aid, the Grand Army of the Republic people and the nan's Kelief corps, that the extortion wed upon her by the money sharks was covered. By them it was found that tho 1 had paid 27 interest on the original loan and was still in the debt of the money lenaers the original amount. pme Protests Made, Mrs. T C. the First Christian church, haa her interest enlisted in Decemoer last in Mrs. Alexan- der's case, and went with her to Terry's oftice, where she protested against wuy furthier robbing of Mrs. Alexander. Terry did not make any fight whatever for addi- tional interest on his $10. He magnanimously agreed to draw up other notes, puyable weekly, for the original amount, $10. and not charge Mrs. Aloxander any interest on then. ‘T'he notes were accordingly drawn, four for 81.50 each and two for & cach, pav- able weekly, the first payment to be made on Tuesday, Janu: This obligation was met, and before the second payment was duc the matter cume to the attention of M. John Jeffcoat, the well known Grand Army man, who was downg some relief work when his attention was called to Mrs. Alex- anaer's case. With her he visited Terry’s oice and there found several now features of the case that somewhat surprised him and gave him an iosight into the mun- ner of the monoy lenders in bleeding vie- tims and still keeping within the limit of the law. He found that while Mrs. Alexuu- der had never received but §10 from Terry, two notes had been secured from her, il 55 W elnidsta Y aitd 8,10 Ak {5 A week ago today. Representative sales: No. Av.
