WHAT FOR THE POOR?

The Secretary Of the Associated Charities
Proposes OIacsdalnizing the streets.
Walter l. Ross, secretary of the
Associated Charities writes length
lily to the JOURNAL. outlining his ideas as
to what should be done for the poor Of
Topeka He says:
"The question of how to take care of
the poor and unemployed Of Topeka
during the present winter, in such a
manner as to make the burden as light
as possible upon the general public,
while providing effectually against ac-
tual suffering BY any person willing to
render honest labor for his Just share of
the common bOunties Of the earth. and
at the same time not foster a spirit Of
cOntented dependence on the part Of the
naturally indOlent IS the most serious,
aud most deserving of thoughtful con
slderatiOn of any that now cOnfrOnts u.s..
Secretary Russ continues
SThe solution Of the question is SO
simple there can be no excuse that it
should remain unsolved another week.
1T presents itself, first, in the impaired
portions of the city, which, during
great portion Of the season become an
almost i'm passable quagmire to the fire
department, in reaching fire, and to the
citizens, IN driving to and from their
homes.

prepare it for use.

incalcuIable value to the city and to
every individual interest concerned
.'In a word, let one or more Of the cen

ally accrue, and the general public Civ
ing all that they feel they can, to good
cause; the fund placed in the hands of
the Associated Charities and expended in
the employment in this work of those
who must otherwise be supported by
public aims.
contributions to such a fund, if dis
pensed through the association, need not
all be in cash, a. no payment for labor
would be made except in the form OF the
actual necessities of life; a dollars worth
of corn meal, hour, salt pork, etc, paying
for dollars worth Of labor, and no able

obtain more than he honestly worked
/. for, thus obvlating the great evils Incl

THE CITY PAYS $4,000.

The Judiciary Committee VIII Pay Deck

The judiciary committee Of the city
council have decided 10 pay the "mater-

firms from Decker, Mullins & FERRY. on
These claims amounted originally to
more than 100000, but some of them
have been settled from time to time.

The claims which will be settled to-
night Will not be Internationally paid
The amount Of the respective claims
viii be advanced in order that the cred

Of their money, but in each case an as
signment will be taken from the claim
ant for the amount against Decker, Null

The large claims which will be settled
tonight are.
The Laclede Fire Brick company of
St. Louis, $1,000.
The Topeka Press Brick company,
$1,000.

Brick company. 81, 100.
A. A. Fem of Leavenworth, 81, 100.
These claims were due and should
have been paid in 1889, over five years
ago. There is no dispute that the claims
are just. but the city has not felt at lib
erty to pay them until the courts had de-
cided that point. Since Judge Benson
has held that the material claimants have
a lien on the citv's sewer fund, it is be-
lieved that the council is doing a worthy
act in settling the claims on the condi-
tions named In case that bv and chance
the courts should reverse its decision on
thes point and decide the claims are IN
just, the assignment which the city holds
against the contractors will insure the

what she thought of the defeat Of the

How to Take Care Of lamp ChimUeys

The negligent housekeeper is inclined

aud she secretly wonders why they re-

them again for use.
Now. iron and steel possess a peculiar
quality which is called temper. The
temper OF "a steel instrument which has
been repeatedly heated becomes lost, so
that the instrument will not retain a

is ground. New irons, which are heated

Early Maturity of Pigs.

MuIching 10 Retnra Mnsuritr.

IN bulletin 50 Of the Cornell experiment
station, Prof Bailey discusses this ques-
ton: Docs Mulching Retard the Ma
turity of Fruits?'' As the result of many
experiments, he comes to the following
conclusion:
81. The early bloom of fruit plants de-
ponds very largely upon the appropria-
ton of food stored in the twigs, and it
is more or less Independent of rot action.
This is proved both by direct experiment
and by study of the physiology OF the
plants
80 1t must follow, then. that the tenn
perature of the twig or branch must be
reduced if the vegetation is to be much
retarded; or. in other words. the top of
the plants, well as the soil. must be
mulched. and in practice this is possible
only with Strawberries and other very
low plants or those which are laid down
during winter.
go There is danger OF injuring plants
by heavy mulch which is allowed to re-
main latezip spring. If it be desired to
retard flowers or fruits by mulchng. the
practice should not be violent. and the
plants should be carefully watched.

to delay the ripening fruit. by mulching.
