sYsrEMATIC CHARTrY.


During the past season the Associ-
ated Charities OF this city has done
much quiet and benehcent work
among the worthy poor OF Whining
ton. While its labors are in no sense
confined to the Fall and Winter
months. still, its heaviest work is done
during those seasons, for the reason
that they are the especial times when
poverty feels most keenly the pangs OF
hunger and cold.
The Associated Charities recognizes
the value and power Of perfect organi-
zation and the systematic distribution
OF aims. It's object is to reduce
pauperism, not to encourage and foster
It. To prevent begging and pau
perlsm and to discover and expose inn
position. To encourage thrift, self
dependence and industry through
friendly intercourse. advice and sym
pathy, and TO help the poor to help
themselves rather than to help them
by aims.
AN cases of application for relief are
investigated and both worthy and un-
worthy cases are reported to the Trus-
tees OF the Poor, charitable societies
and agencies, and OF private persons Of
benevolent nature To obtain employ
ment, II possible; II not, to obtain, as
far as necessary, suitable assistance
for every deserving applicant, from
public authorities, charitable agencies
or benevolent individuals. To make
all relief, either by aims, or chari-
table work, conditional upon good con-
duct and progress. This leads to the
graduation OF the needy from the rolls
Of relief, and prevents their children
from receiving pauperism as a legacy
Surely, a society which lays dowI
and adheres to such rules for th'
amelloration OF deplorable social con
dtions is worthy OF public support a
an times. There are forms OF charlt
which are more harmful than benef
cial to a community. They encourag
pauperism and imposition. But whe'
present and antecedent conditions Q
an applicant are investigated, thos
who are charitably disposed do not s
often have their faith in human natur
shocked and shattered. Charity can b
systematic without being either crimI
ed or iced, and upon this broad an
business-hke principle the Associate
Charities operates at all times.
charitable person who places his one
ings to the poor and needy can re
content that they will go where the

Grave fears are entertained that the
recent heavy frosts and snow have ir-
repara.bly injured the fruit crop, es-
pecially peaches and pears. If this
should prove true, and there is reason
TO believe that it will, the result will
be the loss of hundreds of thousands OF
dollars to the fruit growers and a cor
responding loss to the Peninsula trade.

WEICOMB TO SHOPPERS.

We welcome to our city to-day those
out-of-town shoppers who have ayailed
themselves OF the exceptional oppor-
tunities afforded for coming here and
seeing for themselves what our mer-
chants have to sell to them at reason
able cost and OF good quality.
The weather is both cold and brac-
ing; the sky is clear and bright, and
the stores are at their best in point OF
stock, price and service. We believe
that the visit will be an eye-opener to
many persons who have heretofore la
bored under the delusion that they
must go to Philadelphia and Baltimore
for every thing which they could not
get at home. We are of the opinion
that they will find themselves so agree
ably entertained that they will be anx-
ious to come again and again, until
they realize the reciprocal advantages
which the local market affords.
