gers of the Associated charities was held at the
central Office, 7O7 street northwe est. last week.
DR.. Peck, first vice president, in the chair l.. s.

reported that during the month 10 families
We're aided directly by central office, 20 fami-
les were referred to the several subdivisions,
were aid TO transportation. 10 were found per-
manent employment, worked in the wood
yard, 2were disposed OF as imposters Reports
of seven of the subdivisions were read, which
showed that many severe cases of restitution
had received quiet attention, and that thor
Ough system OF investigation had been adhered
to- On notion n committee CT five, consisting
OF thu executive committee and Prof. Chicken
ing and Mr.. Upton, was appointed to consider
the ACCESSIBILITY OF changing the boundary lines
of the Subdivisions, with view of u better ap-
portionment of wealth and poverty in each.
The officers of the board of last year were re-
elected for the ensuing year. In. connection
with his report the secretary says that there Is
much more real suffering than the citizens are
aware of-frst, they are not aware of 1t because
the beggars are not upon the streets, as they
used to be, to relate their narrowing tales; Sec
Ond because our association, through all its
branches. are giving quiet attention to tn SUI
fererS without public notice. The secretary re-
lated some cases-such us a poor, crippled wo-
man found in a furnishing condition; a feeble
man and his wife and seven little children, too
proud to beg, and found without food OF fuel Or
sufficient clothing. Another widow with three
little children, destitute OF food or fuel, they
too proud and unwilling to let their relations
here, who were better of. know of their circum-
stances. Other cases of children with widowed,
and worse than widowed, mothers in direct
need. Efforts were being made constantly to
reach and to relieve them.

BIRNINGHAN, Ala, Nov. 81.
The river and harbor convention, about
which SO much has been said and written OF
late throughout Alabama and the adjoining
yates, convened at Tuscaloosa last Tuesday,
and was largely attended by representative
men of the state, including delegates from Mis-
sissippi and Florida. Ii is said this convention
WAS one OF the largest and most intelligent as
semblages OF persons for business purposes ever
convened i'm the state. Politics were ignored,
and carefully avoided. Nothing was intro
duced or discussed other than questions apper-
tanning 10 the welfare of the south, present and
prospective. Senator Pugh was present aud nd
dressed the convention upon the great import
aitee of opening the rivers a Alabama and
improving the harbor of Mobile. lie spoke OF
the rastress and richness of A.abama's In ineral
The salubrity OF the climate etc. All
that is wanting is labor and capital to bring
Ia light and place upon the market this hidden
wealth that has lain for SO long a time unde-
veloped. The opening to navigation of such
rivers as the Warrior and Coosa would, he said,
be a national benefit OF incalcuable benefit In
time of war.
Letters and papers were read from Senator
Morgan and others expressing their sympathy

everything Is favorable; the climate Is mild,

We have our new Washington, OF which
we all are justly proud, and now We are
having new south here in this land OF SUM-
shine and flowers; a new inspiration has come
upon the chivalric sons Of the south: they are
fast learning the great lesson that there Is no
excellence without labor, and are now engaged
heartily in the work of building up their wasted
fortunes and in developing the vast resources q
bOuntiful Providence has SO kindly given them.
