An Appeal for the Suffering Poor.
To the Union and American:
Ihaye been visiting some Of my fellow
sufferers during the past two weeks, and
have found, south OF Broad street, over one
hundred destitute families, Of from two to
six members each. Some Of these are in a
deplOrable condition, having no food, but
little raineut, and no fuel beyond the little
gathered from the common TO keep the life
blood in circulation.
The treasury of the Robertson AssOcia-
ton has been almost drained by the cOntin-
nous demands upon it, and all other chart
table societies have succumbed tOthe strin-
gent times. Now, what is to be done to
alleviate the sufierings Of our starving
poor?
Give heed to the honest suggestion Of
one Of the afflicted. Let the city authOri-
ties secure the vacant house on the corner
Of Cherry and Broad streets, at once, anc
establish what is called a public sOup-hOuse.
/, for one, will cheerfully give my ser
vices to establish and conduct the institu-
ton, from now until the first Of May; and,
there are plenty Of mechanics, men with
hearts in the right place, who will cOntri-
butte their share Of work for the fitting up
of such a place. MesSrs. Cherry, OCOnner
& Co. would, nOdOubt, contribute irOn-ware
in which TO do the cooking; our gnterpTising
stove and tin-WaTe men would give US
the necessary.tiuwaIe and spoons; our lib
eral and large-hearted butchers and hotel
men would contribute the meats, and our
marketers and grocery men the
necessary vegetables, while our worthy
mayor hOulu dppotu1 a ouAALSLSl1
guard to secure good order. We
could then give every deserving man,
woman and child substantial meal once
per day. Let each applicant bring a GER
tifcate from the councilman, alderman or
policeman Of his OF her ward, stating
the condition Of said applicant, etc.
Should this be done, let our Robertson As
sociatiOn, should their treasury be repleD-
ished, furnish nothing but fuel, medical
treatment and medicine.
This plan has been adopted in great
many other cities, and why should we not
resort TO the same method to partially ale
viate the sufIerings Of our destitute people?
Consider me in for my share Of the work,
without fear or hope Of reward. My wife
viii also take a hand, as will many other
goOd-hearted ladies, in attending to the
culinary department.
The building abO7e referred TO IS adj
mirably adapted to the purpOse-the upper
story for women and children and the
lower story for men. And DOW let us hear
from some one who will move in the mat
ter. You can give my name to any one
who inquiries with this view.
