THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
What the New Organization Proposes to
DO to Help the Needy.

The Society of Associated Charities
recently organized enters upon new
sphere OF usefulness and one long ne
elected 1t is not a rival. but rather an
ally Of every other charitable institution
in the city. The members of the City Mis-.
sion already are lts warmest friends aud
advocates. and when once 1t - IN opera
ton and has demonstrated by success Its
necessity and helpfulness Il will be one OF
the most popular and literally supported
societies before the public The society
IS " charitable guarantee company"
guaranteeing to help every W0rthy person.
resident or stranger, and 70 " slde-tracs "
and expose every tramp and dead-beat.
1t invites the cooperation of every charlta-
BILE institutions and society, including
churches, Kings Daughters, Young Mems
Christian Association, WOman's Christian
Association, and Others also of every IN
dividual who occasionally or systematical-
Is helps the poor. IL promises to lnyestl-
gate. free of charge, every case reported
to its central office and report results of
said investigation. II will keep private
register of every recipient of charity in
the city, so there may be no unnecessary
overlapping. 1t will furnish help TO the
unemployed in securing work. and IN
every practical way reduce mendlcancy
and pauperIsm.
Tho need for such q society has been
demonstrated by the fact that statistics
show that indscrlminate ams-glying
instead of relieving and reducing poverty
has greatly multiplied and aggravated IT,.
During period in which the population
of the country doubled the census of the
dependent classes increased tve-tOld. In
large cities the number of poor increased
56 per cent. as against 80 per cent. IN the
population. This increase OF paupersm
has been shown To be due largely to un-
organized charity. This society strikes at
the root of this. And as such 1t should
have the hearty and liberal support Of our
citizens. Its officers are +. ID. Starke,
president f. L. Woodward first vice
president: II. :. Hutzler. second vice.
president, w. NJ. Hill, treasurer; Dlrec-
tors-Rev. II. p. Williams, l.. B. Turnbull.
+. n. Calisch, and Mrs. Raleigh Colston
and Mrs. ". II. Peasants.
Similar societies are in successful opera
tion IN other large cities north aad south,
in New York. Philadelphia. Baltimore
Washington. Atlanta. and elsewhere. In
New York the work has so grown IN i'm
pOrtance and popular favor that build
ing has recently been erected and opened
az a cost of 100000 which is the centre
and home of the organized charities OF the
city.
As soon as the society can elect n secre-
tary and general manager they VIII be
ready to begin work. The board wants TO
secure enough subscribers TO guarantee
the salary before they make an election.
Any member OF the board will receive the
annual subscription of s.. and in few
days a so licitor will be in the field.

PLAYGROUND FOR THE BOYS.
Buy the mountaineering Lot and
Deed 1T to the Youngsters for All Time.

Buy the Penitenttary-SprinG Lot and
Deed 1t to the Youngsters for All Time.
To he Editor of he Dispatch:
One of the saddest sights witnessed IN
Richmond for long time was the hauling
no Of a number OF boys before the Ponce
Court for playing ball In the streets-Doys,
too. who were living long way from any
ouen playground where they could eXer-
clse themselves III that healthiul amuse-
ment This matter has stirred me up ana
hastened q purpose 1 have had IN Iulnd
for some time. and that was TO write you,
suggesting that the DISPATCH put on foot
movement Tor the purchase OF the square
known as Penltentlaty-Sprlng lot and FOR
ever dedicate It 1t to the boys and girls IN
Richmond as a public playground.
In nv Judgment there IS not better IN
vestment that the people OF Richmond
could make than number OF squares or
half square: being opened up IN dinerent
parts of the city where our children cOuld
20 without being cautioned about the
shrubhery or warned 10 keep of tho
grass" Children need some place where
they can roll around, kick up their heels,
and have a good time generally and II we
are going to raise strong. healthy men and
women fhey hdce qO' 10 hare n. In the alb
sence Of such places they play about tho
streets inhaling the poisonous odors OF
every description. thereby weakening their
lungs and laying the foundation for PAIN
ful diseases and early death. a large pro-
portion OF our people cannot AFFORD u
take their children oil TO the country, even
in the summer season, and 1t i 10 the
rising generation OF our native population
that We must look TO buildup our city and
country.
Bows residing in many parts of our city
now have to spend half an hour or more
before they eau get 70 suitable play
ground, and as many OF them are situated
so as only TO have thirty or forty minutes
at intervals during the day TO play, they
are thus shut out entirely from engaging
In ball and other games so dear to the
bows heart. and so necessary for the de
volopmont of his body and mind. Chll-
dren who are shut up too closely in the
house will grow up 20 be weak and IAN
guild men and women; they need plenty
OF pure, fresh air and sunshine. especially
IN the growing stages OF their life. IL IL Is
again It the city ordinances tor them TO
play IN the streets. then for Heaven 3 sake,
provide place tor them 10 play. We
have no right TO bring children intO the
world and dstort and narrow their lives.
No wonder that young men and young
women as thev grow up are too weak %
resist temptations that are thrown around
them.
Laying aside all sentiment in the matter,
it Is the poorest sort OF business policy.
Some phllanthrOpic man could erect TO his
memory the grandest monument OF this
or any other age by the purchase OF fseveral
vacant squares and forever dedlcating
them TO the use of the young people. In
the absence Of the willingness or ability
of such person NAV we not. by united
efforts, secure at least one spot within the
limits Of our city forlthis purpose?
Yours in the interest Of the boys,

"Our Neishbor's Boys"

To ne Editor Of the DlsD1ich:
Your editorial in last Sundays issue
headed "Our NcighbOT's Boys Is timely
and in the right direction, but 1t does not
treat the subject matter as seriously az
the occasion demands. Evidently the
authority exercised over the conduct OF
boys III the streets by their parents at
home. rs well as by the officers OF the law,
has been Of a loose character. The act1
Of vandalism now committed could not
have been possible had the proper anthor-
Ity been lnterpOsed at the right tine and
suppressed the smaller offences.
MANY depredatIons have been CON-
mitted IN the finest residence part Of the
city within the past week OF two by our
neigh bors' BOYS" The character of some
Of the acts committed exhibit not merely
boyish mischief. but clements OF vGndal-
ism and rGflianism. Fences have been
hacked with hatchets. windows broken.
new 'front.' walls of houses nicked and ear
riaces injured with pelted stones, and
various other acts of an annoying and
Vicious character But what IS still worse,
when epokeu to and requested TO dcsist.
IN some Instances they have become lmpu-
dent. espec ally so to ladies. and then
have begun petty annoyances against
those who demonstrate with them.
One highly-respectabie and most estl-
mable lady remarked day or two
ago that 1t had almost become question
OF being able TO live quietly and peacea-
bly III the city. This - truly serious
state OF affairs Aud this communication
is intended TO call the attention OF the
parents of these boys 10 their moral and
civil responsibility IN the matter. IL IS a
serious matter to the afflicted neighbors.
but far more serious to the we'll being or
the futufe of these boys and the mainte-
nance of family respectability. 1t can
not bo dismissed with Oh, boys
Will be boys Boys VIII be boys.
il Is true, but neither the boys
nor their parents nor the community
can afford that their boys shall turn rui-
fans and yandals, aud If not resolutely
checked IN time, possible candidates Tor
the States prison. Let the police prompt
ly arrest for all violations of the law.
Public opinion is ready TO stand behind
the officers. Then let the Ponce Justice
put TO the parents the alternative oil
either administering sound nogging pri-
yetely IN his presence or to ALLOW term
OF Imprisonment TO be imposed. IEe
sound fiogying would be pretty apt TO take
place Small fines and snlelding the mls-
creants won't do.
Now. permit me to say tnat there are
some residents of the afflicted neighbor-
hoods who do not propose 10 quietly suo-
nit to these dopredations any longer. A
mans house and property is his castle.
which the law of tho land gives him the
right to defend aud protect at all hazards

A ysice from Fulton.
MARCH 81, 1895.

To he Editor Of he DisDd'ch:
We have now been subjected to the AM
noyance of transfers. with long waits be-
tween cars for nearly month, and judging
from the slow progress the Street Railway
Company is making IN repairing its
track m Fulton. we Will have this state OF
things 20 endure for weeks yet. We have
been very patient about such matters, a.
we are subjected 70 this same ANNOYANCE
very often, but our patience has suffered
all the strain it will bear, and We have TO
ask for an improvement.
Ii is custom with the management or
the Main-street car line TO stop the cars at
Twenty-eighth street and make transfers
70 Fulton for the slightest causes. appa-
rently the chief reason being that there ~
a side-track at Twenty-eighth and Main
aud that the people Of the East End do not
deserve any better service. The same
amount OF work would have been done IN
six or eight days on any steam railway that
the Main-street line has consumed about
twenty days in doing.
We ride as much ss the average people
and deserve better car service.

HOW TIE BILL WAS RECEIVED II TIE SENATE
PROSPECTS, or ITS PAssIsG.
A dispatch from Albany says The Legs-
lature is about evenly divided as to Har.
ris's guilt. and on the subiec OF capital
punishment there IL much difference OF
opinion. While the Senate was IN the
midst of its session Senator COggeshall
put in his BILL Usually such bills do not
attract any attention. but the request thai
this particular one be passed at once made
Senator Roesch suspicious.
He is chairman Of the Judiciary Com
mi:tee. 20 which oil such measures 60, and
he asked for an explanation. On getting
il he asked Would not this affect tine
Harris case?" Senator Coggeshall replied
that it undoubtedly would; whereupon
objections we're made TO hosty action on
such an important matter, and the bill wa.
sent TO the committee. Senator CogCeshaH
predicted q prompt report favorable tothe
measure and its speedy passage.
SO TAR as IL could be learned the Assem-
biz would not be unfavoreble 10 the bill
unless it Is opposed By the New York city
authorities.
An urgent letter accompanied the bill
TO Senator Coggeshall signed by Mr..
Howe. which, among other things. says
IT notion be denied for a new trial
on a suit inyOlyinga 800 promssory note.
there is an appeal To the General Term.
How cruel is IT, then. that there should be
no appeal when human life IS involved
No harm can result from the passage OF
this amendment. but much justice Will be
accomplished.
d" We do not ask that there should be q
delay 90 send the case TO the Court Of Ap-
peais. but we simply ask that. as in civil
cases. there should be an appeal from the
decision of the Judge denying the motion
tothe General Term OF the Supreme Court,
and the action of the General Term shall
be final.
when the Legislature passed section
465. giving the Judge before whom the case
was tried power to grant new trial on
newly y-discovered evidence, it stopped
short of permitting an appeal TO the Gen.
eral Term. 10 remedy this we imploie
your aid"
There is reason 10 believe that If the
bill is passed Governor Flower Will
promptly append his signature. for he
feels deeply .he responsibility which rests
upon him IN such a ease as that OF Carlyle
". Harris.
