THE DROP IN DONATIONS
Charity Organizations Cannot
Care for All the Poor.
THE FUNDS GETTING LOW
More Than 80 Families Were Sup
piled by the Central Union Mis-
sion-There Is No Diminution in
the Calls for Aid-The Names of
Those Who Contributed.

The Associated Charities had no contn-
buttons to the poor fund by mail this morn
| ing, and Secretary Wilson was unable to
say how the finances stand until all the re-
ports OF agents are received. He is of tile
| opinion that the funds are not quite ex-
hausted
The only donations noted since yester-
day were of provisions, clothing and wood,
OF which there is reasonably good supply.
Mrs. II NJ Hutchinson sent wood and Mrs.
Milmore gave 100 loaves OF bread.
Tie board of directors OF the Associated
Charities will hold it's annual meeting at 4
O'Clock this afternoon, when officers win
be chosen, annual reports will be received
and all accounts audited.
There is no dimnution in the calls for
aid. 1t is probable that at the board meet
ing this afternoon there will be plan sub
mtted not only for present operations. but
for the work of the coming spring and sum-
mer.
