NEW YORK. Feb. 6. 1894.
To the X lief Committee for the Unemployed, San

home appreciate LIE great amount of good that
is being done for the relief of the deserving I'm.
my check Tor twenty five $3.50 dollars as small

CHARLES A BELDEN.
The total amount received so far is S6S,675
and the amount on hand is SIT ,565.
The fund collected for Mrs. j. +. du Bots.
whose husband, one OF the committees en-
pIoyes, was recently killed on the railroad near
the par k. was Increased Yesterday by me fol-
lowing contributions: Cash 81, Andrew ID. SO,

The unemployed Of San Francisco were
aided by the Federal employees yesterday
generously In the department of the
Surveyor of the Port $500 was subscribed
to the fund, which will pay for the work
of men with families. Sam Ruddell. the
deputy surveyor, was more than earnest
in his efforts to secure contributions. In
the Collectors and Appraisers buildings
S456 was collected and there is more money
to come. The funds will take the usual
course, going through the hands of the
committee appointed by the Chamber of
Commerce to take charge of it. The en-
ployes in the Federal departments are
anxious to help the unfortunates now In
the city who want to work, but are turn
ing a very cold shoulder toward toe
swarms of beggars who daily haunt the
buildings.
