Thanks were returned to the heads of the several departments of the municipal government and physiclans who gave their services to the poor and needy. Mrs, Thomas Cole, representing the ing nurse committee, reported that every call had been cheerfully and will- ingly answered by the nurses, many of whom gave more time to patlents than they could really spare in justice to them- selves. Many ‘cases of sickness were found to be due to poor sanitary condi- tions and when these cases were called to the attention of the Board of Health the defective plumbing was at once ordered repaired. On the recommendation of Mrs. Cole thanks were extended to the Univer- sity Dispensary for furnishing the society with all drugs and medicines at cost. The revort of 8. W. Levy, treasurer of the soclety, showed that there is a balance of $1014 26 on hand, as against $503 31 on January 1, 1901 The receipts from all gources for the year amounted to 33728 25 and disbursements $3217 30. The principal Source of revenue was from the Mary A. Crocker trust fund and from Mrs. Phebe A. Hearst. The following members were elected to the central council: Oliver Eldridge, J. M. Burnett, B.'P.

Bowen, f‘lfis;’l Mary W. Kincald and Mrs. Willlam ardy. J. M. Bur;~&iderable length concerning t d V4 i ing the Rev. Dr. Willlam Rader affiressed | the members on ‘“The Relation of the | Churches to Associated Charity Work." | He said that while the church was in duty | bound to care for the poor and needy ot its members, there was a great deal of money needlessly wasted bhecause of lack of a uniform and systematic method of carrying on the philanthropic work. | “The pastor of a church,” he said, “is often imposed upon by those who with a glib tongue tell a story of suffering that appeals to his heart and his pocket. To personally investigate every case is im- possible and the really needy are often- times compelled to suffer for the wrong- doings of the unworthy.” The speaker then advocated the appoint- ment of friendly visiting committees in districts to be established throughout the city. The members of these committees would soon learn of the cause of poverty in each family and the work of removing the cause could be commenced in an intel- ligent way. To remove poverty from our midst, can, in his opinion, only be accom- plished by destroying the cause. “The principal causes of distress,” said Dr. Rader, “are the saloons, slum centers and shylock money-lenders. ' Co-evil with saloons and slums are the money-lenders, who advance money to the honest and temporarily needy at extortionate rtes of interest.” In conclusion Dr. Rader recommended the establishment of a bank where the peor but honest, who are in straitened circumstances. may borrow money, the same as the rich, at a just and legal rate of interest, instead of 5 per cent per month, as at present. The Rev. F. W. Clampett spoke at con- e workings of charity organizations in Baltimore and Dr. Dorothea Moore practical results to friendly visiti told of the good, | be obtained from | among the poor, as sug- i Fathers and Bmmanuel Baptist At the conclusion of the business meet- gested by Dr. Rader. ! INSANE CHINESE THIES SUICIDE While Confined in Hospital Attempts to Hang Himself. Ah Yung, a Chinese about 40 years of age, was arrested by Officer Mahoney yes- terday afternoon at 33 Spofford alley and taken to the Recelving Hospital. His queer actions caused the doctors to doubt his sanity and he was confined in the insane ward. Shortly after midnight Ma- tron Bussenius heard a sound resembling the falling of a chair coming from the cell in which the Chinaman was confined. Hastily summoning Steward Kahn, she opened the cell door and found the Celes- tial hanging from the grating forming the roof of his cell. He was cut down an after vigorous treaiment restored to con- sciousness, The Chinaman h; taken a scarf from . making a loop with the aid of a large piéce or jade stone with a hole through the center, stood on the chair and fastened the loose end of the scarf to the grating.

Specfal Dispatch to The Call, OMAHA, Nebr., Jan. 11.—The residence | of EdWard Cudahy was found to be on | fire to-night. The flames were quickly | extinguished. The fire chief. is not yet | satisfled as to whether the fire was of | incendiary origin or caused by spontan- eous combustion. The incident has renewed the excite- ment over the famous Cudahy kidnaping case gs the elder Cudahy has been re- | peatedly warned by letters from bandits | since he offered the reward that his home | would be burned if the reward was not | withdrawn. Mr. Cudahy gives it as his perfonal opinion that the fire’ could not ave been of incendlary origin. The fire | originated In the basement in a pile of paper. 1In spite of this statement the im- |- pression is general in the city this even- | ing that it is the work of kidnapers or | their dgents, in pursuance of their threats | to burn the Cudahy mansion unless the reward for their apprehension was with- drawn. The flames were undoubtedly of mysterious origin as a servant passed the place a moment before the flames broke out and detected no smoke, such as would | have been the case in the event it had | been caused by sporntaneous combustion. | Chosen Friends Again Sued. !
