large masses OF tender Oeef made one OF the most
excellent soups that has yet been offered to the
poor. Captain Murphy, of the Eleventh precinct,
reports that soup was furnished to 1000 persons
yesterday at the soup kitchen In Second street.
Captain Henry Hedden, OF the Thirteenth pre-
clnct, whose soup Kitchen is in Delaney

manifestation OF CHARITY toward the poor, and
every day 1t seems to be on the increase. Captain
Murphy, IN the Eleventh precinct, has over $500 to
dispose OF in his ward, and there Is demand for
many OF whom have been very dlatogy until a late
day, have at last been stirred up to do their
work In systematic manner. and 1t is now
being zone success luly by every one. The soup
Kitchens have now been established twenty days.
During that tune chez Ranhorer has dstri.
buted about $1,000 gallons OF the best soup, and
over $4,000 destitute people, principally consist
ing Of women and children, nave been relieved. IL
is calculated that about goo Ioaves Of bread have
been distributed, and alone IN the Sixth ward,
under the administration OF Frank Caddel,
there are $50 ioaves OF bread day
given out to those who take soup IL is
almost impossible to iced the number OF poor who
apply, yet the system Is well perfected that none
who apply can go away empty handed. IL now
needs but little more eXertion from the police IN
every ward by instructions to the patroimen TO In
form the poor Of the relief that Is waiting for them
and the entire poor population OF the city Will be
relieved at once. ID the uptown wards the system
Is not yet as perfect as 1t is IN the lower wards but
every day it is improving. The lOaierS and bum
mers and dock rats no longer receive relief, and
are turned away without hesitation
