WORK OF ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

The Associated Charities 10 an organi-
cation that Is quietly doing much good.
Its aim Is to relieve the necessities Of
the poor by providing work for the un.
employed. and during the past few
months many families who otherwise
would have been compelled to choose
between the alternative of starving or
becoming suppliants for charity, have
been kept from either extrem by the
timely aid furnished by this organiza
tion.
Still there are those who profess to
believe that the Associated Charities
is q comparatively useless society. That
is because they are totally ignorant of
the sphere Of Its operations. There are
today in the city Of Scranton hundreds
OF strong. able bodied men who, owing
to the greatly depressed financial stu
alton, are unable to secure single
days work. This may seem strange to
the careless and unconcerned, but it is
fact Of which any person who will
take the pains to investigate can easi.
ly convince himself. 1t Is to aid
such that the Associated Charities is
directing much of its energies. and the
good already accomplished is beyond
dispute.
Notwithstanding that spring has ar
rived and brought with it something in
the way OF revival Of business, yet the
fact remains that there ia more poverty
in Scranton than there was two months
ago. There seems to be just as many
persons out Of employment and they
are poorer than ever. There are whole
families who do not know where to-
days needs are coming from. and yet
there is no sign of employment in sight
for the husband and father.
Nks
However, the Associated Charities
will do what it can to relieve those in
distress, but there Ia at present lack
Of funds with which to operate. A
thousand dollars goes but little way
in city like this. where 80 many are
out OF employment. Money Is needed
and everybody who can should con-
tribute something to the cause. One
way in which 10 do this is by becoming
a member Of the organization and TAX
Ing part in its management. Yearly
membership cards are are now being
sold for 81 and few who have steady
employment or are engaged In business
but that can afford to be enrolled as
members Of tho Associated Charities,

cApruREp 4 BURGLAR.
"a Former Astorian Distinguishes Him
Y self in Portland


The oregonian yesterday contained an
account OF the capture Of q desperate
Chinese burglar on Sunday night in
Portland, one Of the two young men
who tackled the Mongolian being +. A.
Young, who is well known in this city.
The house burglarlzed was that Of VIM.
p. Olds, on Second street
During the absence Of Mr. olds in the
east, Mrs Olds has been living with her
mother in the house adjoining the Olds
residence, on Third street. leaving the
latter vacant. About o'clock last even
ing she visited her own residence to see
that everything was in order, and had
scarcely opened the front door when
she became aware that some one was
moving about on the second floor. Has
tening back to her mothers house she
secured the services Of Mr.. Thompson
a boarder, and Mr.. Young, who was
visiting there, to make an examination
of the premises. The young men en-
tered the Olds residence by the front
door, and after passing rapidly through
the rooms on the first floor, ascended
by the front staircase to the second. AS
they reached the landing the burglar
slipped past them and ran down stairs
through the hall to the rear of the build
ing and through window, by means
Of which he had effected an entrance.
The young men, rightly judging that
he would have to pass through the front
yard to reach the street, sprang through
the front door and closed with him,
just as he emerged from the shadow OF
the building. AS they did SO the China
man struck Thompson with the revol,
yer, cutting a deep cash In his chin,
but the latter pluckily hung on, while
Young succeeded IN wrenching the re-
volver from the thugs hand and throw
ing 1t into the bushes. The Chinaman
was then thrown to the ground, but
succeeded in drawing a murderous-
looking knife, with which he stabbed |
Young in the left breast infiicting a |
painful but not serious wound. He also
made several slashes at Thompson's
legs, cutting his clothing, but doing
no further injury. After another pro-
longed tussle, the knife was also taken
away and thrown to one side. The
young men then held their prisoner un-
til a car came past on Second street.
They hailed the conductor and with his
assistance and that of the motorman,
carried the struggling Chinaman on
board. By that time officer Crocker
had arrived upon the scene, and the
prisoner was promptly handcuffed. The
trip to the central station was made
luickly, and one more thug was locked

Picking Fruit.

There is right and a wrong way
to pluck cherries. Many trees are
ruined every year by the thought
less practices OF persons who pluck
the fruit. The fruit is nearly all
at the eXtremities of long and
ragged branches, destitute of
small limbs, twigs and fruit spurs.
a person can not climb outon the
leading limbs and pluck the fruit
because the long and slender
branchlets will not sustain weight.
The trees have been ruined by
breaking of the fruit spurs and
fruiU-bearing twnis from the
large limbs and the branches.
Fruit spurs are the short and
stOcky projections on the bodies
of the leading limbs and on the
surface of the branches. Fruit
spurs are not sprouts, or branches
or twigs. When a fruit tree is
managed judiciOusly Gas to prun-
ing nature will cover every
branch with fruit spurs, from the
body of the tree to the eXtremities
of the main limbs. If these are
not pruned Off, or damned off by
the feet of the thOughtless fruit
piCkers, or if they are not pulled
OIL with the fruit, every one will
be loaded with the fruit, from the
body of the tree to the ends of the
long limbs,
