Nashington's Charity Work.

Mems Petition Takes Exception to
Statements OF superintendent.

Mr.. A. NJ. Raymond, who headed tbs
petition to the Commissioners. filed on
Monday, against .he abandonment OF
charity work by the police. yesterday
sent To the Commissioners another COM
munication signed by himself alone. re-
iterating the first, and. commenting
caustieally upon its criticism by Super
lEtendent of Charities Lewis
Mr. Raymond says that Mr.. Law;s
mas given no facts and that he has
allowed his temper to get the better Of
him III place of argument
lie calls Mr. Lewis names. asserts
that he secured his position through
the efforts of the people he is now de-
Tending, denies the charge that tho
signers to the petition did not know ita
contents and says that Major Moore in
reality believes the police should con-
tinue their charity work. He con-
cludes:
When an organizations agents enter
houses unlimited and peep into a poor
womans refrigerator. coal box and
wood bin while she is in an almost dy-
ing condition upstairs, and then reports
ner as fraud because few delicacies
were found in the safe that were
brought in by neighbors, it has well
earned for itself the name of the peep
ing system a name which Mr.. Lewis
knows is applied to it in all large
cities"
Mr.. Raymond says that just such
case occurred last winter, and that My
Wilson ignored ii even after his a-ten-
ton had been called to it by the Iress.
He says of this case:
i thtn notified Lieutenant HefTner
and in twenty minutes he had a mount
ed officer at the door with an order for
$3.50 worth of groceries. a quarter of a
ton of coal, wood, and a physician. To
prove that the agent has misrepresant-
ed the case 1 referred him to DR.. Bos-
we'll, who attended her in a praise
worthy manner for three weeks. and
also TO the stubs upon Lieutenant HefT-
ner's relief book but the only satisfac-
ton | got was misSpelled statement
that he had referred the matter to the
executive committee
There was case over in Anacostia
to which Mr.. Wilson's attention was
called by two merchants, three times
by the grandson of two real old people
who wanted relief and twice by myself.
MY Wlte and L went over to see them
through the grandson's repeated plead
lngs and we found them propped up in
chairs with bed clothes, a cold stove
and not morsel of any kind of food in
the house. The old man looked like a
corpse with skin alone covering his
bones. Neither of them could stand I'D.
When they saw the provisions that We
had brought them their eyes bulged OUT

Mr.. Raymond said to a Times re-

nearly everybody in the District was in
'avor of the police continuing their

Mr. Mansfield Receives Two Notices
Of Suits.

Mr. Richard Mansfield. the actor. was
served yesterday with notice of the
suit filed against him by Mary Sanders
! Winter and her husband. Percy Win
ter. of Washington, to recover S5. coo al
legged to be due plaintiffs by virtue of a
contract entered into between Mr.
Mansfield and Mrs. Winter, March l3.
1895.
MI Mansfield accepted service calm

propenSities of Actor Mansfield The
artistic temperament of Mr.. Mansfield
which it has been asserted erupts on
short notice, was not disturbed.
Deputy Marshal Cusick, to whose lot
fell the extra hazardous duty of serv-
ing the papers, still lives. He does not
leave a widow. who will not seek to col,
lect on his accident policy because of
his interview with Mr.. Mansfield. He
did not dress himself in chair-proof
CLOTH
Mr.. Mansfield accepted the legal
process with smile and shook hands
with the officer of the law.
MIR. Mansfield objected to the service
which he plays or at the hotel at which
he lives. He declared that he would
not have his business hours at the
playhouse broken in upon nor would ba
permit his domestic life at his hotel to
be marred by the service of legal pa
pers.
His attorneys, Messrs. Phillips and
Mchenney, notified the marshal in the
morning that their client would accept
service at their office in the Sun build
ing at 1880 o'clock. Mr.. Mansfield was
there.
The plaintiffs in their declaration
aver that by the contract which Mr..
Mansfield and Mrs. Winter entered into
March 13, 1895, Mrs. Winter was to re-
ceive S15 week from September. l6.
1885, to June 15 1896, for theatrical SER
vices which plaintiff was to render.
Mrs. Winter sets forth that she re-
nnained in the employ of Mr.. Mansfield
till December 3, 1895, when without
cause or reason he discharged her.
Mrs. Winter declares that subsequent
agreement was entered into between
herself and Mr.. Mansfield under which
she was to receive $50 a week from De-
cember to June Is. She charges that
Mr.. Mansfield repudiated this subse-
quent agreement and has refused to
pay her any money at ali. The suit has
been fought over before but for reasons
heretofore explained in the Times. the
present suit is brought as an action
for damages instead of an action for
debt. The attorneys for the plaintiff |
are MessrS. Colbert and Murphy. |

Interesting Experience of an In
dianapolis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia
People having it think that their nerves
are TO blame aud are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the mis-
chief is lost sight OF; ttse stomach is the
organ TO be looked after.
Nervous dySpepiics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach: nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows Itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ: in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregular:
10 others the kidneys are affected: in
others tie bowels are constipated. with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh aud appetite, with accumu-
latiop OF gas, sour risings and teartburn.
