A Commendabie Vionnese Charity IL
Doing Wonders.
One Of the finest traits OF the Niennese
arstocTat is untiring charity. In the year
l772 an association of 400ladies and noble
men belonging TO the lofticst ranks Of So
ciety was formed for the purpose Of SUP
plying wholesome dinners 70 the poor ut
the lowest possible price. Each member
gave sum OF $500 towards the initial
outlay, and with this money the first
"V5lkskuohe" Peoples kitchen) was
opened To-day there are ten of these in
Vienna, and IN the course of the year food
Is sold in them to the value of more than
$500 600 The ladies and gentlemen who
manage this superb association have done
wonders and eight or ten ladies' make a
point Of being always in each kitchen
whilst the dinners are being served.
The "Nolkskuchen' are huge rooms,
with great windows letting in both sun
and air, and provided with oak tables and
benches, which are kept scrupulously
clean. The floor is paved with marble,
and at the lower end Of the ball a wooden
counter divides il from the actual kitchen,
where many cooks are at work preparing
the foon An classes, from poor uniyer-
Sity students TO ragged looking tramps,
receive kindly welcome. Each person
approaches the counter and buys paste.
board chin, or check for a dinner, gener-
ally consisting of soup, beef vegetables, o
sweet, and bread. This check is deliver
ed to the ladies in attendance, who serve
the portions on china plates, and hand
them TO the hungry customers. The latter
carry their food TO the sabes, upon which
are placed great jugs of pure water, to.
gcther with drinking mugs Of pewter and
comfortably seated on the benches, they
eat to their hearts content The com
plete dinner, well cooked and daintiy
served, costs four cents, and breakfast
of coffee, Observation-Disclosures, and some
kind of stew, can be obtained for one
cent From six to nine in the evening
supper is served at cost of two cents.
1t is generally composed of cold meat,
soup and pudding. 1t is a touching sight
to watch the lovely and aristocratic court
beauties of Vienna, wearing snowy aprons
over their elegant walking dresses, dis
tribute the food 10 the poor lifted
wretches who crowd the room A kind
smile or word of sympathy always accom-.
panies the action, and when particularly
miserable fellow creature approaches the
counter il often occurs that one or the
other Of these charming ministering
angels inquiries into his or her case and
undertakes to aid them in their trouble.
Every day over ten thousand persons dine
in the Vokskuchen, and the marveIously
low prices at which the food is sold can
only be accounted for 10y the huge quanti-
ties in which it is bought and prepared. --

Passage of the Fremont saloon Limit
Law,

Law.
The committee on licenses of the house of
delegates reported il favor of the law fixing the
saloon limits. The only change is to include
part OF Fremont and Lake Union as agreed upon.
Mr.. Willis thought the ordinance ought to in
clude permission to extend licenses to Beede's
and Corts. He asked the council to handle the
subject like sensible men. The board was con-
seryatire enough and intelligent enough to say
which were proper places to have licenses.
Mr.. Bagley gave warning that if there was any
attempt TO change the ordinance in favor of any
place except those at Fremont, there were mem
bers of that house who would oppose it alto
gether. If it was made an entering wedge to ex-
tend licenses to any other place, he thought
there was enough opposed to down it
The ordinance was passed after considerable
debate.
Mr.. Morford introduced an ordinance to gov
ern the traffic in liquors, which, he declared,
was bill for the purpose of raising revenue.
The main features were that the license Zee
should be $780, and that applications must be
put In twenty days before opening q saloon.

water supply" said Mr.. Bagley. (Laughterl
On motion of Mr.. Willis it was tabled.
The petition of the King county commits
sioners for permission TO grade the west half of
Eighth street was granted. Mr.. Hanford ex-
planned that the other half belonged TO the
Sarah b. Yesler estate, and the trustees would
be willing TO join in the grading, but there are
no funds available. Application will be made
TO the probate court for permission to sell lot
or two to get enough money to pay for that and
other grade taxes.
A joint resolution extending the time of pay

year was passed.
