HOME FOR YOUNG MEN
Movement on Foot to Assist the
Struggling Youth.
Secretary Barnaclo, of the Associated
Charities, Proposes a Plan Which
Meets With Approval.

It has occurred To Mr.. F. W. Ba arnaclo,
secretary in the office Of the superintendent
OF charities, that while there is in the Dis
trict large number of beDev olent insti-
tutions and esta blishmeDts devoted to tie
education and care Of the female sex,
young and old, there is no provision to
aid struggling young men in their efforts
to gain a foothold in tile business world,
ana he has started a movement that is des-
tined, under proper aDagement, To fill
that mission.
MIR. Barnaclo has submitted the proposi-
ton TO the Commissioners, and al least two
of them have signified their approval. 1t
is believed that they will all agree TO it,
and that Il board will be designated at the
proper time to take charge Of the establish
ment.
The objects of such an Institution are to
provide for the entertainment of young men
who are without employment, or who re-
ceive but small salary. The modest COM
forts of a home are to be supplied ut the
bare cost of production, where the appli-
cant Is able TO pay, and gratuitously when
one is without means, until such time as
there may be no longer a necessity for
such aid.
It's argued that very many young me n in
every way worthy OF respect and confidence
are often driven to despairand crime by re-
peated failures TO obtain employment. and
that If respectable refuge be provided for
such, where they can secure boarding and
lodging without that loss of self-respect
that would follow a resort TO the lowest
grade of lodging houses, many of them can
be sa we'd from ruin.
His first purpose will be to interest the
benevolenty inclined. and this he will do
by addressing personal letter each to as
many as lie can properly approach.
The Commissioners have promised to give
the matter their consideration at a hearing
to be had tomorrow at 9 o clock.

RICH GOLD DEPOSITS.
Valuable Vein Found by Prospectors
In Minnesota

Chicago, June ga special from Duluth
says; one OF tie richest deposits of gold
found in this country has been discovered
on the Foley property.
The main shaft of the Foley mine, now
down 210 feet. has 300 feet of tunnel work
done. The vein is from three to six feet
wide, bot, calling it only three feet, 1t
would give cube of ore tlree feet wide,
2l0 feet high nd 800 feet long. or 1S9, 900
cubic feet. As ten cubic feet equal one ton
OF ore, there 4 re Is, 900 tons of ore in sight,
some OF which assayed $500 TO the ton.
The report of $500 in gold TO the ton as
the product OF this mine was probably from
picked ore. Tie milling value OF the orc
viii be at least $25 to tile ton. Which will
make tile total yalnc of ore in sight $4T2,,
500.

THOSE RELIEF FENDs

Not a few people i'll Washington entertain
the mistaken idea that the pollcemen's and
fremen'S relief funds are invested sums, the
interest Of which is used for tie payment
OF pensions, AMI that the scaling down OF
these pensions has been made necessary
by an increase in the number OF bene-
ncares beyond the capacity OF the interest
account. The fact in the case, however
is that the pensions have been paid from
the principal of the respective funds and
that il IS merely question of time when
these Will he exhausted. True, the ap-
preparation OF $4,000 for the policemen and
$4,000 for the firemen, and the further
proviso authorizing the Commissioners to
make good any deficiency in the funds from
fines collected in the police court, puts
the matter in somewhat better shape, but
yet it is not in as substantial form as
it ought to be.
THESE relief funds, like aEy other fund,
from which regular annual payments have
TO be made. should be large enough
to earn such interest as would be sulfi-
cient, together with the monthly asFess-
ments upon the members OF tie Tol!ce force
and the fire department, respectively, to
pay all pensions in full. That would lie
| q businesSlEe arrangement and give as
surauce to every policeman and to every
fireman that in the event of any evil
Detailing him, his family would get the
| full amount to which they are entitled
under the regulations and that there would
| be no need for scaling down because OF
ebb in the treasury. The description given
in the Evening Times yesterday Of the
condition of these relief funds is anything
but cheering 10 tie possible beneficiaries.
There i S a way out of the difficulty if
! Congress be but generous enough to take
| it. During the fiscal year ended June 30,
1875, the fines in Judge kimbalrs branch
| of the police court, which is devoted to
| District cases, amounted to about S24 600.
Fines collected in this court are turned
| into the Treasury. For the same year
! 81 900, in round numbers, was collected
in Judge Miller's court, where the United
States cases are tried. These fines are
placed to the credit OF the school fund.
The District treasury is plethoric enough
to do without the $4,000, and the public
schools of the National Capital should not
be maintained, even in smallest part, By
revenues that are the result of peoples
misdoings. If the S24 600. or whatever
amount is collected in the one branch OF
the police court, were set aside, for. say,
