TIE RELIEF WORK.
Another Radical Cnange Made Yesterday.
The Headquarters Changed

Another Radical Cnange Made Yesterday.
The headquarters Changed.
The headquarters Of the Relief Com
mittee at No. 1923 Market street, was
closed yesterday fer the distribution OF
food and clothing. and will remain
closed to-day. Tomorrow, however, IL
will be open for these purposes only.
A change in the registration arrange
ments was made yesterday, the commit
tee taking charge Of the books and
papers heretofore kept at police head
quarters, and the registration OF men
desiring work will hereafter take place
at the general headquarters and tickets
emitting men to work will be there
given out. The committee will also
make the daily selection OF men who
are TO work the next day and the list
will be at the City Hall at half-past four
o'clock every afternoon. 1t was an
nounce6 yesterday that seventy men
would go to work this morning. Two
cars of pipe arrived for the Gas Board
Yesterday and will be distributed In
few days.
A complaint was made at this Office
Yesterday that the men having carts are
not being given an equal chance at the
work on the streets. and the Committee
will probably look into this ii the mat
ter is officially brought to their atten-
tion.
Two or three cases OF immediate want
were relieved yesterday, and an equal
number of attempts TO beat the Com
mittee were unearthed. One OF these
was in East Wheeling, where woman
representing herself to be in want was
called on by Committeeman. There
was decided odOr OF stale
beer about the house, another
Committeeman was sent there
to make second investigation. This
time the woman gave different answers
to all the questions on the blanks, and
also gave a different name. This time
there was more than an odor OF beer In
the house, for there was GROWER full
OF it, and a stout and healthy-looking
man was sitting in one corner with his
hands over his face to prevent recogni-
ton, keeping them there as long as the
Committeeman was ia the room. No
aid will be given in this case.

The policy would assist in bringing

expressed the opinion that affairs Were
