ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Secretary Jacks0n's Report Submit
ted at Yesterdays Meeting.

The quarterly meeting of the executive com
mittee Of the associated charities was held
terday afternoon. The principal business was
the consideration Of Secretary Jackson's re-
port, which In part was as follows:
During the past three months the associat-
ed charities asked to make 1879 new and
1870 demonstrations by the board of control,
relief society, Kings Daughters Aid society
and fourteen other charities, as against 1863
new and IVA demonstrations made for sixteen
different societies during the corresponding
period last year. 1t is interesting to OBJ
serve that, compared with the previous
year. this quarter shows a larger percentage
of applications from people who had not pre-
vously asked aid. This is partly accounted
for by the increased use of our facilities, but
the chief cause of increased application IA
that a larger number than usual are from
classes who need little aid, but these appl-
cants were brought to the condition of need
by sickness as well as by long period of in
sufficient employment.
I'VE daily find several families without
enough either of food or fuel to last even
day; not infrequently they are entirely
destitute These facts are promptly reported
TO the board of control, the relief society or
other proper relieving agency for Immediate
relief, and then, so far as possible, we in
terest churches or individuals in them so
that the family may have encoura cement
and assistance to position of Independence
For example, in one such family recently
found in urgent need, after timely provision
was made for the immediate wants we sent
word to the lodge of which the father was
a member. The proper lodge official called
promptly at this office to say he would see thai
the further necessities were provided and do
what he could"to again place the unfortunate
brother on his feet.
The use of our bureau of information Is
gradually increasing. After expanding a con-
siderable on a strange applicant concerning
whose worthiness she felt confident. one of
the wel-known charitable ladies of the city
was much surprised to learn the real facts
concerning her protegee. well" she re-
piled, Il have said all along that we should

Of THOSE whom we would help Now | be-
lieve we should always inquire of YOU as
surely as we would inquire concerning a
cook a housekeeper.
Already there are good results from the
Provident Saving fund. Four subtreasuries
have been established in the following order:
The Bethel work room, the Kings Daughters
Aid Society, the St. Paul Commons and the
Peoples Church Industrial school
The establishment of subtreasuries is I'M
der consideration by several large churches
and BUSINESS houses. Oct. 81, 1896, there was
one subtreasury, through which four persons
had deposited $1.36; Dec. 81 there were four
subtreasuries, through which 125 people had
deposited S38 81. These funds are placed in
distinct account at the State Savings bank
Our fund has already attracted some atten-
ton outside of st. Paul"

THINK THEY CAN, GET ALONG.
License Committee and Counsel Doty,
Have "a Tilt,

After numerous meetings and a deal
Of valuable time being wasted, the
committee on license agreed yesterday
afternoon to refer the matter of grant
ing saloon license to Charles F. Egg
CERT to the city attorney. Attorney
DOty wanted to change the record
which had been taken by one Of the
employees in the city clerks office, SO
that certain evidence would appear of
record. The members of the committee
did not take kindly to the change, as
it necessitated the putting in of the
testimony of two witnesses that they
had visited the saloon kept by Eggert
on Sunday and had purchased drinks
on that day. Mr.. Doty made a lurid
talk and told the committee they
might take the bride in their teeth
like wild asses and overrule his OBJ
jections, but they were not the final
judges of the matter" The committee
finally agreed to allow Mr.. Doty to
make all the changes he desired and
then on motion referred the whole
matter to the city attorney for ali
opinion as to whether under the testi-
mOny taken and the law the council
could legally grant a license to Egg
CERT. Mr. DOty said he could not be
present at the meeting of the assembly
Tuesday evening, as he was going out
Of the city This did not seem to cause
the committee any annoyance. and it
was announced that the matter would
receive final action Tuesday evening
with or without Mr.. DOty'S presence.

SUICIDE AT ASHLAND
Pennfng, Who Has Been Spending
His Time in ST. Paul.

His Time in ST. Paul.
The following dispatch was received from
Ashland Wis, last evening:
A. Penning of Wahpeton, n. D.. suicided
IN Ashland this morning under strange cir
cumstances. He gave boy 500 last night to
snow him to a private residence where the
family could speak German. This family are
poor people whom he never met before. He
inquired their names and entreated to be
allowed to stay all night. The man of the
house slept with him. and after he arose
this morning Pennfng, who remained in bed
shot himself through the head He left a note
requesting the family where he stayed to take
charge of his effects. On his person was
found over $1,000 in good bank checks and
$lO4 in cash. His bank book also shows de-
posits aggregating over $780, and letters on
his person claimed assets in Wahpeton
amounting to $2,S25 more. He was well
dressed and talked nationally all the evening
mentioning the fact that money does not make
happiness. In his Letter he says his wife
lives in Saxenburgh, Germany. He claimed
not be induced to take the train. No one
in Ashland knows him. He gave no inkIing
of the cause of the suicide.
Andrew Penning, the suicide, is the proprie-
tor OF the Wapheton house at Wapheton N
D.. and had, for the past two weeks previous
70 MS rash act been stopping at he Globe
hotel on Sixth street, this ely. Penning
came to st. Paul Christmas day and remain
ed at the Globe hotel for week and then
went to Chicago. While here he talked Of
purchasing a saloon business in St. Paul
ana appeared to have plenty of money. To a
friend ne told a story Of desertion on the part
OF his wife, whom he said, had left her home
IN Wapheton with young man, and expressed
a desire to get into business in order TO for
get his troubles. Penning appeared very
much excited during his stay in the city and
at one time called for the services of ply
sician. Wednesday Of last week he returned
from Chicago, and again registered at the
Globe hotel, but after dinner that evening
vas not again seen by any Of his acquaintance
1t is thought that Penning must have gone
to Ashland unexpectedly or in a moment Of
mental alteration, as he left his overcoat at
the hotel. trunk and small yalise belong
ing TO the suicide are also at the Globe hotel
and last evening Emile Constant the proprie.
tor, wired the chief Of police of Wapheton as

John Zelch, of Cottage Grove, Wash
