HUMANE SOCIETY.
Wards Divided Into Districts for Systemat C
Relief.

The regular meeting of the Humane
society met in the room of the society
in the basement of the court house.
1t was decided to have the room open
and a lady in charge from to5 o'clock
each afternoon, commencing Wednes-
day, Dec. 20. so that members Of the
various committees appointed to look
after the deserving poor in their dis
tricts can call at the hour stated and
get the clothing and shoes.
The police We're requested to see that
every child of shool age be compelled
to attend school and if any children
are found out of school for want of
books, shoes OF clothing-if such cases
are reported to any member of the fol-
lowing district committees, or TO the
office of the society, these needed ar
ticles will be furnished if it is found all
right TO do so. The society finds itself
very much annoyed and hindered in its
work by certain professional beggar5
who go from house to house, at one
place giving one name and at the next
some other. At one place they give
1867 North Fifth street, at the next
North Mosley, etc, all of which is
false. If the good people would only
refer these people to the workers in the
Humane society and then send the
clothing, shoes and money that they
actually throw away on these pro-
fessionals to the society they would be
doing Gods service. as it is
certainly not true carity to give
to the unworthy. The Humane
society has thoroughly organized the
city into twenty districts with repre-
sentative and well known persons in
each one and every case is fully investi-
gated before help is extended. These
persons know the old timers who are
always looking for work and never
find IL. Now if the charitabiy inclined
people will please preserve this Eagle
and refer all cases coming under their
notice TO the proper committee a 5 given
herewith, and those as far as possible.
expecting to ask aid will also preserve
the paper. they can save much time by
going 70 the members Of the committee
in which the applicant lives and in
every worthy case need not so away
empty handed.
