MIR. EMERY TO RESIGN.
He Will Leave the Associated Chari-
ties Free TO ChoOse n Secretary.

He VIII Leave the Associated Chari-
ties Free TO Choose n Secretary.
The dissension within the board of direc-
tors of the Associated Charities has cul-
minated in a situation which prompts Mr..
l.. S. Emery, the secretary, to decide to ten
der his resignation at the next meeting, on
the 9TH of November.
Immediately after submitting my annual
report" said Mr.. Emery to Star reporter
today, Il shall tender my resignation as
secretary of the Associated Charities. My
object in doing this will be to clear the
ground and leave the association entirely
free to select another man if they desire to
do So l have decided to do this because 1
fear there is a feeling generally that want
to retain this position, which is entirely con-
trary to the fact. 1t was in 1866 that l first
became interested in work fer the poor. For
twerty-nine years, every year and every
month. without interruption, l have con-
tinued in that work. For fourteen years
have been secretary of the Associated Char
ities ] assisted in the organization of the
Associated Charities. and have endeavored
conscientiously and thoroughly to perform
the duties of my place as a business man
should, and as my annual report will show
convincingly, 1 think, that have done.
certainly have not been engaged in the work
tecause of any advantage or salary coming
to me. For the first five years there was alb
solutely no compensation. After that the
pay OF this place has varied from $40 to $50
a month-last year believe it was sS25.
NOW, this certainly does not pay me for all
| the work there Is involved in it. 1 cannot
AFFORD for this amount to give almost my
entire time to the duties of this position, and
l never should have done so but for the
further compensation in the motive which
| l had In helping the poor. l have always
been interested in this work end / shall con-
tinue TO be interested in 1t. and shall con-
tinue to work with the Associated Charities.
put do not want any one to think that 1
am clinging to this position for what there
| Is in 1t, and shall accordingly tender my
resignation"
1t Is understood that the action which Mr..
Emery contemplates Is the result of the
| severe criticism of his administration of the
| anairs OF the office during the last meeting
| OF the board. when DR.. Peck brought the
| matter to 4 well-defined ISSUE

RIPS GENUINE SLEEP.
Jefferson Wns Tired and His Shores
Were Heard by the Audience.
From Harm u,ob

Jefferson Wns Tired and His Shores
Were Heard by the Audience.
From Harpers Round Table.
Many boys and girls have seen the ia
nous actor Joe jefferson in his great play,
rip Van Winkle," that delightful story of
the Catskill fairies. and in it that weird
scene where he partakes of the spirits that
the elves give him, making him sleep for
twenty years. Well there is good story
told of Jefferson in that particular scene
Once. being near some good fishing grounds,
he spent the day drawing In the gamy
trout, and was thoroughly tired when
the curtain rolled up for the evening per-
formance. Things n Cve1 smoothly enough
until he is supposed to fall asleep.
Now, that sleep in fiction lasts twenty
years, but on the stage about two minutes.
This time, however, the two minutes were
heightened out into ten, much to the
amusement of the audience and provocation
of the stage manager. Jefferson had really
fallen asleep, and his snores. 1t is said,
were quite audible beyond the footlights.
Several remarks were fired at him by the
audience, and finally the stage manager had
to go beneath the stage and open a trap
