ORGANIZED CHARITY Is BEST.

Theevcrpresent question asto how charity
can best be bestowed was discussed at the
Board of Trade rooms yesterday. 1t is
subject that can only be disposed of when
poverty shall no longer exist, and until then
there must be a variety of opinions and a
number of methods of providing for our
poor.
There is always danger of misguided
charity of giving to those unworthy of re-
lief, but it is surely better to occa sionally
make a mistake than to be eover-discriminat-
ing and permit worthy persons to suffer.
Organized charity is the best means of dis
tributing relief and the public generally
should refrain from giving aims and refer
all applicants to charity organization,
which should also be given liberal support.
The method of distributing charity in
this city, if extended and more thoroughly
sys,eniatized, is as good as can be adopted.
be made and the names of all irrespective
candidates for public aid this winter should
be recorded. Those who are inclined to
take advantage of circumstances to ask for
assistance not really needed would then be
known, and interlopers from the surround
ing country could also be provided against.
OF course such a record would not be alb
sointely reliable, but it would assist in
separating the dependent worthy from the
dependent unworthy.

A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

The al djournmentoftheA Alexandria county
Democratic convention by the gambler
element to prevent the nomination of
Law and order candidate for representative
IN the State assembly was an admission
that public sentiment is changing. Three
months ago a convention could not have
been called that would not have been
easily controlled by the tOughs, and the
adjournment yesterday is hopeful indi-
cation of a change for the better. An
effort will now be made to rally a suf-
ficient force TO back up the gamblers can
didate, and the next convention will prob
ably make the nomination without so much
opposition.
In other States an earnest effort is being
made by the authorities to stop all forms
ef iawiessness, and prize fighting, gam
bling, and other vicious practices are Wig
erously and effectively dealt with. But
nyirginia the county that was once honorcd
with being the home of our first and greatest
President, is daily disgraccd, practically
without interference, by nearly every kind
OF iawbreaking known to the category of
crime. And what makes it worse is the
shame that attaches TO the National Capital
through the proximity of such dens of vice
as can be found across the river.
Sooner or later this condition of affairs
must change. The better clement of Al
exandra county will again assume control
and the toughs will have to move.

253.30, the amount it will cost to light
the streets of Washington.
1t will not require much figuring to ascer-
tain the immense saving that could be
made with municipal plant, especially
when it is known that one equal in every
respect to those now furnishing Washing
ton with gas and electric light could be-
esta blished for about $1,000 900. Not
only could the interest on bonds issued
and sold to obtain that amount be paid from
the sum economiZcd by furnishing our
own street lights, but private consumers
could be supplied at prices that would save
them an immense sum each year.
Taking into consideration the profits
made Off of the Washington public by the
present lighting companies, there is nothing
Utopian in a proposition TO issue bonds
to establish our own lighting plant. This
would be much more sensible than to
create debt TO improve private property,
and ii would meet with less opposition
from the tax payers than did the excessive
bond issue demanded from the last Con-
gress. The public wants cheaper light
ing, and Congress Will be asked to supply
it, and both the Board of Trade and the
Commissioners should unite in support
ing that popular demand. Let us see If
they will do it.

MISS REHAN'S ROLE.
AS Lady TcazIe in ''School for Scandal''
She Was Unusually Charming.


1.-The School for Scandal" as presented
by Days company at the Lafayette Square
Opera House last night, was as dainty a
picture of tea cup times, when hood and
hoops were worn," as ever delighted Q
critical audience.
Ada Rehan is at all times graceful and
pleasing, but Ada Rehan in the exquisite
costumes alternately OF Dresden china
shepherdess, a French marquise, and an
English grande dame of a century ago is
indeScribably charming
Her meiodious voice has never more
fascination than In the willful, pettish
moods and whimsical repartee of the
part of Lady Teazle, and she interprets
that frivolous, yet sound hearted woman
of fashion" in a style both sympathetic and
comprehensive.
Sir Peter as given by Edwin varrey is as
strong Characterization as has ever been
seen on this stage.
Charles Surface, the gallant spendthrift,
the reckless good fellow, was acted by
Frank Werthing with cUnsummate appre-
citation of his opportunities.

utes upon the churches of Washington.
He felt honored to stand before them rs the
representative of Washington churches.
for church work here was on grand
scale and counted splendid achievements.
He compared their work TO campaign in
which Christ was commander. No great
general ever got far from his base of sup
plies. and the churches are the foundatiOu
OF all Christian work.
The missions here and elsewhere deserve
the hearty cooperation OF the more formal
religious bodies, and, as a rule. they get
il. Most mission workers come from the
churches and Washington churches are
especially feeders of the missions. He
spoke OF the progress of Christian work
every man would be a preacher and every
woman missionary.
CoLoRED CHURCHES.
Rev. Walter II. Brooks was then intro
duced. TO speak for the colored churches of
Washington. He said the colorcd churches
here own over ST. ,C0o,00O worth of prop
erty, and have 10000 membership, while
10000 more attend regularly, but have
their church connection elsewhere.
Half the colored population are church
members. This is better than the showing
OF the white race or OF the negro in other
States.

come from long night OF servitude and war
attractive to them. The common people
hear the gospel gladly. For every saloon
manned by a coiored man there are ten
colored churches.
A YOUNG LADY'S TESTIMONIAL.
Mr.. Bailey then read a letter from a
young lady who was converted a little
more than a year ago. 1t was a testi-
monlal tnat Mrs. Whttenore had sav we'd her
from suicide. She had been discharged
from service here and saw no way except
to wickedness or death. She went to her
trunk for something, and found there Mrs.
Whittemores book, Della" which had
been put there with some things she had
allowed friend to leave with her. She
read it, went to the mission that night,
and heard others tell how they had been
saved. She went home, read the book
again, and was converted She did not
lose her place after all Since then her
Savior stood by her side in all her trials
Mrs. WhittemOre then told of the missions
among fallen women. She has organized
seventeen in various cities, and has es-
tabliShed missionary service dependent
upon these women. Her work began i'm
1890 The home has since sheltered T9O
girls. Many OF these have been converted.
She started with 304 and yet in the years
there had come to her 1000 She had
never asked for help. She had never
taken up a collection. She promised the
Lord she would not co this But on one
occasion she had SO good an opportunity
1t seemed a pity TO let it pass. She would
not ask, but she would hint the need of
wealthy friend. She felt mean about it,
She had disobeyed God. There was never
anything added to it. She finally re-
turned that miserable $50, and since then
has never asked help.

claimed that It's aggregate circulation OF
1T4,059 was "many thousands in excess
of any other Washington paper and is be-
lieved 10 he fully five times that of any

The aggregate circulation OF The Times

than .tat of the Star. TIE gain of The
Times over last weeks statement was
4,622. while that of the Star was only
2,15S. These figures are facts iii which
there is 20 deception or n;isrcpr escDtatiun
and they demonstrate conclusiveiy that The
