Board OF Managers Adopts n Plan OF Ac-
tion that Prevents Frand.
The board OF managers of the United He
brew Charities OF the District OF Columbia
held meeting last evening in the Eighth
street synagogue, for the purpose of electing
officers and discussing ways and means TO
raise money for the relief fund All the
members of the board elected at the meet
ing last week were present. Mr.. 1. L. Blout
presided.
The first important business taken up was
the election of officers. Mr.. |. /. Blout was
chosen president The other officers are:
First vice president, Henry Strasburger;
second vice president, Simon Goldstein; sec
retary, l.. Stargardter. and trustees. NJ Gold
smith, a. D. Prince, and AmnOn Behrends.
Mr.. Goldsten and others made brief talks
on the methods OF raising money for the re-
lief fund. Each year large number OF per-
sons are supplied with fuel, provisions, wear
lag apparel transportation. medicines. and
nourisnment, and the treasurer has on hand
only S9S.S9 that can be used for this purpose
1t is therefore, necessary that immediate ac-
tion be taken in this matter. After some dis
cussion it was decided that the best way 10
raise the money Is by subscription. The pres
ident was authorized 10 appoint canyassers
for the different sections of the District
In the past it has been customary TO give
those asking for food money with which TO
purchase meals, but in the future tickets will
be given instead of cash. This precludes all
possibility of the recipient using the relief
for other purposes than obtaining food. By
vote of the board the president was given
power to make arrangements with some res
taurant for these tickets. Meetings OF the
board will be held in the synagogue on the
first and third Mondays of each month.

the meeting by the secretary was to the effect
that the ''moneyed interests OF all concerned
demanded the presence of the stockholders.
The object of the meeting was to sustain the
president and it was done in short order. A
long and effective speech was made in his
favor by the Rev. George W. Lee He said
that Patterson was the life and soul of the
corporation and without him it would soon
cease TO exist. That ii was mystery to him

AS THE CROWDS CONE OUT.

The tragedians Warde and James gave for
the last time in their joint caree- in this city,
Shakespeares "Othello," at Albaugh's last
night. In the brave and jealous Moor we
probably see Mr.. James in the zenith OF his
powers. His impersonation of Othello is
almost above criticism Mr.. Warde as lago
gave realistic representation of the arch
william. He demonstrated again his wonder
full versatility. Mr.. Guy Lindsey in the
role of Cassie gave a truly dramatic i'm
personation. Mr.. Beverly Turner as Bra
bankio had comparatively little to do but did
ii well.
Miss Chapman's rendition of Desdemona
was full of force and womanly grace. The
mounting and costuming were good.

"Julius Caesar" was presented by the Warde
and James company at the matinee yesterday

And now he says that he is glad
He took his sweetheart there.

At setting of the sun;

Two hearts that beat as one
