FOR SWEET CHARlTY'S SAKE
The Annual Meeting of the Associated
Charities
The Hardest Year Yet Faced by the Or
ganization-Arrival of INDECENT
Sick-The Tramp Problem.

The annual meeting of the members
yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the
organization in the court house.
Capt. John Cross, the president, was
in the chair, and in submitting his ad-
dress, took the opportunity to draw
the attention of the public to GER
tain peculiarties of the work in this
city. Inasmuch as the glories of the
climate have been heralded throughout
the country. the INDECENT sick have, by
all kinds of means, arrived here and
now have to be cared for For this, as
well as other contributing causes, the
past year has been the hardest the Or
ganization has ever had to face Here,
too, the city contributes nothing to the
Associated Charities, and the president
compared such actltn-or want of ac-
tion-on the part of the city council with
other cities in the state not having
half the population of this. Attention
was drawn to the necessity of the city
finding work for the resident unemploy-
ed, for adopting some practical plan
of dealing with the tramp problem and
passing word of praise was given to
the Sanitarium mission on New High
street.
The annual report of Secretary T. J.
Stuart was particularly interesting, and
was practically a summarized account
Of the work done by the Associated
Charities during the past year. The
organization has been in existence
three years, and during that time has
dealt with 2575 cases, 94S of these coming
up during the last twelve months.
There was received during the fiscal
year $2760.17, and on November 1 there
remained on hand $3S.42 of that account.
Acknowledgment was made for 80
wagon loads of good things received
from the schools at Thanksgiving and
Christmas. and also for the cooperation
of other charitable organizations and
church societies.
The nominating committee submitted
the following list of names to serve on
the central countil, the same being
adopted:
Mesdames c. Ducommun. " Ponet, F
| r. Griffiths, J. Johannsen. Col. Weaver
| II. G. Bath, Miss Fannie Wills, Messrs
| w. C. Patterson, William Pridham, Fl
| Newmark. Fl. Jevne. Capt. John Cross
| o. T. Johnson, A. w. Francisco, j. c.
| Rays.

BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
The Campaign Committee Prepared fol
the Fray

The campaign committee of the league
for better city government held it's mi
tial meeting yesterday afternoon to pre-
pare for the work of the campaign be-
tween now and December 7th 1t was
resolved to make an earnest effort to
secure the election of the candidates
nominated by the league for the various
city offices. Reports as to the outlook
were very fiattering and the sentiment
of the committeeman present was that
a vigorous campaign intelligently and
honorably conducted would result in the
election of the league nominees almost
without exception.
The necessary signatures to the petit
lions to have the names of the nominees
printed on the official ballot have been
secured, except in the case of several
candidates for members of the council
and board of education. They will prob
ably be completed today and should be
in the hands of Secretary Walton not
later than Thursday evening. The Sec
rotary will file them with the city clerk
after seeing that they are duly certified,
and the ticket will thus be entitled to a
place on the official ballot
