Relief Seems TO Be Near at Hand
for the Unemployed Poor.
TREASURER HAS $1,5Ol MORE
An Appeal Issued in Behalf of the Canvass
ers, and Meeting of the Central Relief
Committee Will Be Held To-day to Plan
for the Amelioration of the Penniless
Population at the Union Mission.

The skies are Frightening for the poor of
the city.
very welcome beam of sunshine broke
through the gloom yesterday afternoon when
John B. Wight, chairman of the committee
on canvass, deposited 51,5O1 to their credit
with Mr. Wilkins, treasurer of the central
relief committee.
This amount is made up OF large number
of sums sent direct to the canvassing COM
mittee, among the contributors being Mrs. E.
J. Somers. S25; E. F. Droop & Sons, S25:
Chris Heurich, 800; A. C. Birney. $50; W.
B. Moses & Son. S25; Barber & Ross S25;
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, S453; Fish
Commission, S32; Justice Brown, S25; r. C.
johnson, $25; through Woodward & Lothrop,
S4Oe; and an order for 800 loayes of bread
from Mr.. and Mrs. Letter.
APPEAL TO THE CITIZENS.
So material beginning is fair indication
that the hopes of the canyassing committee
were we'll entertained. In order, however, to
keep the good intentions fermenting the COM
mittee issued yesterday the following address
to the people of Washington:
to make q final appeal to the public in regard
| to the collection o, money and supplies now
being made by the canvassers for the relief of
| the poor.
| 1--WE commend these canvassers TO your
kind attention. They are all responsible, re-
| liable and disnterested persons, who are do
| ing this work from unselfish motives, and
| they deserve kindly and generous recep-
! ton.
''We earnestly hope that the amount given
! this year will exceed that of last year, for we
! believe, from our thorough knowledge of the
| situation, that the need i5 greater now than
it was then. The ordinary poor we have
always with u.s. but during the past year
| several hundred persons, who. when the can
vass of 1894 was made, were able to contrib
ute their share to alleviate the distress OF
| others, have been dismissed from the govern
ment departments, and thus large addition
| has been made TO the ranks OF those out of
work. and consequently in need.
"The committee has every reason to believe
| that the distribution of money and supplies
] will be satisfactory to those contributing, and
such as they have right to expect. II has
been decided that the main channels of dis
| trihution shall be the Associated Charities,
the police, and the Central Union Mission, as
these agencies are ali we'll known and arc
properly equipped for the work. Each
works in its own way, bat all have one point

ing.
At the Central Union Mission there were
distributed yesterday a small quantity OF
bread and meat sandwiches. hut after the
exhaustion OF the supply there were still
numbers of applicants who received nothing.
This condition will. no doubt, remain as il is
until after he meeting OF the central relief
committee to-day.
The funds at the Associated Charities are
also practically exhausted. There were many
calls there yesterday and what was available
was given out.
OF course there can be no starvation while
the soup kitchens in Georgetown and this
city are kept running. and they are running
with full head OF steam on every day PeO-
pie are contributing supplies Of meat and
bread bread crumbs, soup bones -four, yege-
tables. ETC.. in abundance. The drafts upon
this charity are still quite numerous and
copious.
RELIEF GIVEN BY SOUP KITCHENS
There were possibly 1000 people satisfied,
at least with soup, at these two fountains yes
terday. The Improvement in the weather

Fruit Seller Tells why She Sometimes

While waiting for cross-town car to

according to a Chicago paper, sawNa
well-dressed woman stop at a fruit
stand ON the corner and ask the woman

''Oh, you are exorbitsnt"
Two Italian laborers stopped 70 price
the tempting-ioolxing fruit.
"F'ifty cents apiece for ounces"
said the fruit seller, and the astonished
men passed on almost of run, talking
excitedly together in their native
tongue and evidently feeling that they
had barely escaped serious financial
peril.
Curious to learn the reason for her
high valuations timidly advanced IN
my turn and inquired the price off
ounces. Her terms, courteously give :.
were moderate, which emboldenedIne to-
ask why she had named so high price

stand for ten years. shes saiGE and
smiled wisely, and ought to be some
thing of judge Of people by this time.
The lady you saw did not mean to buy;s
she's one of the kind that cannot get
past a sale stand or counter without
stopping to price everything on it, and
l was pleased to have her think me ess,
brilliant on the frst,question. As feSn
the Italians they thought tho quincy
new kind of fruit that theyNnaig.ht buy
and eat like an apple, SO it wins useless>
TO waste time with them, and I gave
them figure that nearly caused them
to fail down. Now, with you the case
is different You came to ne fairi!y for
information about something that in-
,terested yon and that am very glad
to give. Behind fruit stands, as wecte
as in bigger concerns, we get to knoSH
how to size up the people, and to treats
