Made for Contributions.

tioh-7he Donations.

Ihere are still many applications for as
sistance from the poor at the office Of the
Associated Charities Of the District, and
the different stations In the various sec
items OF the city are crowded with these.
Secretary Wilson Of the organization states
he has visited these stations, and the work
OF supplying the wants Of the needy has
teen satisfactorily carried on. The cold
OF last night kept up the demands this
morning, and the stations were thronged,
as was the storehouse at 927 D street north
west where the supplies are dispensed
when orders are presented signed by the
agents.
Mr.. Wilson says there are a number of
cases OF imposition, which have been
brought to the attention Of the Associated
Charities. One Of these he says, was
that OF a woman about whom pitiful let
tar was received, and who it was found
had been well supplied. He stated further
that a number Of able-bodied colored men
have applied for help. and they have been
referred to the coal dealers.
They have worked a short while, and
they have thrown up their jobs.
A Special Instance.
One who worked part of an afternoon
was not satisfied with his pay and refused
to work the next day. His second appli-
cation for assistance, in view Of this fact,
was promptly turned down.
Responses to the appeal for contributions
have come in literally. The wagons of the
Merchants Parcel Delivery Compa0y,
Adams Express and woodward & Lothrop
have been placed at thu disposal of the
charity societies. By dropping postals to
these the wagons will call at the houses
for the contributions.
