A communication was received from

Not Enough Seen-The Saliva

Day by day the subscriptions 10 the
relief fund for the unemployed are dwin-

After Washngton's birthday, when thou
sands of our citizens had gone TO the park
and seen the improvements for themselves.
there was sudden impulse given to the
subscriptions, but that. unfortunately. has
subsidized, and now the citizens committee
only has on hand funds for eighteen or
twenty days more.

all night in the alley has been done away
with by giving the applicants slips which
they exchange IN due course for work
tickets. Between 500 and 800 of these slips
are now out, and go OF them will be taken
up to-day. Fifty men were laid off last
night. so that to-day there are only $50
working. Tomorrow, however. there Will
be nearly 100.
