EDITORS HERALD The accompanying
article will, no doubt, be read with in
terest by those who seek to benefit the
poor and unemployed who desire to earn
their own living:
The Industrial Christian alliance, re-
Gently organized by DIR. R,inford, Is
preparing to open, in few day, Ger.
tainly by Christmas, a peoples restau-
rant and lodging house, where it will
furnish satisfying meal of hot food
every day. from 8 a. m. until midnight,
to any man bringing cents, or present.
ing one of the meal tickets, which will
be sold to the charitable by the alliance
at the rate of $5 hundred.
Orders for these tickets will be re-
ceived now, and will be filled as soon as
the tickets can be printed. In the mean
time, and until the restaurant shall be
opened and the tickets issued, the ali-
ance, beginning with today, will supply
st it's home, 170 Bleecker etreet, a
equare meal to any man who may apply
to it with nickel, or with bona fide
card bearing the name and address Of
the sender and written order for q
meal. The Henders are expected to re-
deem these orders at cents each ON
presentation by the alliance.
The lodging house, when opened, will
provide men with supper, bath. bed and
breakfast, and will cleanse their cloth
ing by superheated steam, all at NOM
inal coet to the benevolent. Donations
OF furniture, bedding, towels, kitchen
utensils, provisions and coal are urgent
ly solicited, and may be sent to 17O
Bleecker street.
DR.. Rainsiord is an old acquaintance
OF mine; and | write for particulars of
this movement, go that they may be-
useful on the Pacific. The Associated
Charities of Los Angeles may do wide
spread work of benevolence by following
the footsteps OF DIR. Rainsford, who has
done immense good heretofore In his
great parish (St. George's), where the
poor numbered hundreds OF thousands.
An eastern paper states that there are
today 4,O0O, 900 persons in the union
without a nickel to buy bread. And to
that must be supersdded the horrors of
cold, already in some localities as low
as AZ degrees below zero. and the whole
surface covered with enow.
In this respect the attention of the
charities is called to the prompt res
ponse by the Cudshy company to my
application as to procuring from them
quantities of spareribs, liver, kidneys,
trimmings and chimes. There could not
be more nutritious and delicious food,
and | have no doubt that at low rate
the committees can get supplies which
would go far to place their efforts on The
same plane as those developed by Mr..
Rainsford
