The exhaustive report of Superintendent of
Charities A. e.. Warner. has aroused much
interest among those engaged In charitable
work in the District of Columbia. In some
quarters many of Mr.. Warmers recommends
tions are sharply criticised. The opposition
which he makes to the public assistance of
private institutions has caused special COM
ment. Mr.. L. s. Emery, the general secretary
OF the Associated Charities of the District, is
one of those who believes that if Mr.. Warmers
recommendations are approved in their en-
tirety the result will be bad, and considerable
suffering and want, now alleviated to certain
extent through'the channels In operation, will
be certain to follow.
A HERALD reporter yesterday asked MIR.
Emery his opinion Of the report of the super
intendent Of charities. He said: 81 have
read the report of Mr.. Warner with great care
and interest He has a hobby. He is a
theorist, and 1 think that his report bears on
the face Of it clear evidence of lack OF ex-
perience. The report Is an exhaustive and
carefully written one, but 1t Is such as man
would write after the careful study Of
pamphlets and manuscripts without actual
contact with the needy classes. 1t smacks Of
the desk and not of the knowledge gained by
actual daily dealings with the poor.
''Mr. Warner is bright, intellectual gentle
man whose only need to make him we'll
fitted for his position is experience. He has
not yet become acquainted with the con-
ditions OF this city and when he does he will
reconsider what he says In his report. Charities
in the District of Columbia and elsewhere
are very different matters. Mr.. Warner, to be
sure, was secretary Of the Board of Charities
in Baltimore for two years, but even there his
experience was at long range.
''His idea, as I understand it, is to more
literally furnish the large institutions with
public funds and cut off the private ones. This
would result In placing the city in the state of
want which characterized 1t in 1881, when
our association was first organized 1t would
make it necessary for us to become beggars
every time we found case of distress. Very
often a case comes to us where temporary
aid will be sufficient to allow the unfortunates
to bridge over their trouble but where
an inability to lend assistance would mean
permanent want. Then, too, our society has
now systematiZed the charitable work of the
District to such an extent that we have
record of all families that have ever obtained
any assistance from us. We know where
they go and what they are doing. To close
our doors would mean to lose all the work
we have accomplished in ten years.
''Mr. Warner criticises me for not forward
ing report. He did ask me for one and re-
piled l would accommodate him as soon as
possible. / make monthly report to the
board and my annual report in November.
really did not have time to compile an ad-
ditional one. AS said, think Mr.. Warner Is
too theoretical. He should rub up against the
poor and see for himself how much good we
accomplish.

The pith Of the matter lies in this: That
shortly afterward General "Rooney' Lee,
whom had subjected to arrest came to the
camp OF the Irish Battalion, and, in few
well-chosen words, and in presence of the Of
fcers, apologized to your humble eorrespon-

as cavalry officer was never regarded In the
first rank, such as was his brilliant cousin,
Fitz Lee, but he was splendid leader, and
well maintained in the history of the sons of

falon he bore in the midst of the contest.
