 WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION. Agent Sherwood o. Preston in his re- port said:
 During the year ending February 1, 1895, there were provided for men, wo- nen and children 13,673 lodgings and H. 362 meals; total of both, 25, ,535; cost of same, $1,S06.06, Of this amount there was expended In charity to sick or dis lbled persons or children $1412S. The of expenditure, $1,6647S (about P per cent), was worked out in the la- DOT departments.
 Seven hundred and thirty-two cords of wood, 95,140 boxes, were cut and sold, and an average of 58 family wash ngs done weekly.
 The pay rolls of the employment de- oartment show that the sum of S4.2OO.- Y has been paid to employees, most of whom have thus been prevented from 'equiring charity In addition to this outside jobs were supplied in about 300 and many proved to be per nanent situations.
 RAN BEHIND. Owing to the unprecedented hard imes, causing an enormous increase in | he number of transients who had to ,e cared for, it was found to be i'm | possible to conduct labor departments l with the degree of economy heretofore l .ttained, and the association thereby a loss of $1,20O.8S. It is be- | ieved that this represents wiser ex- ,enditure of funds, however, than the | anne amount would if disbursed in di- | ect relief.
 The receipts of the Penny Prevalent l und for the year are $25.17, and the | 'alance to the credit of the fund is | 4921.
