train at University Station, on the Balti

CASES OF DESTITUTIoN.
Two More Families Suffering for
Want of Food.

A pitiful case OF destitution has come to
light in the home of James Richardson,
who, with his wife, lives at 352 II Street
southwest. About four weeks ago Rich
ardson became i'll with an attack Of grip,
which has steadily grown worse until now
the doctor in attendance, who was called
in yesterday by the distracted wife, fears
that he has pneumonia. He was n sufferer
from heart disease before his illness, and
since the present attack complications
have set In which make his condition
alarming The small income which while
well he managed to exc out by selling
books has been entirely cut off. and the
scant supply of food and necessities which
he and his wife have had came from the
police and few friends. The man lacks
the barest comforts of the sick room
His wife has been without food and on
several occasions has been compelled to
beg for bread from the people with whom
she rents the house, and who are poor
themselves. Shortly after her husband S
sickness she went to the Associated Chari-
ties and asked for aid. She states that on
this occasion help was refused. Several
days elapsed, when she was again COM
PEELED TO seek help from the same source.
This time an order for % cents worth OF
groceries was given her. Mrs. Richardson
then decided to go TO DIR. Mackey, whom
she knew was connected with the Chart
ties. AS a result Of this appeal, which was
made as n last resort, an inspector was
sent to her house who made an investiga-
ton. She states that the inspector acted
, in an exceedingly supercilious manner, and
asked why she had married man who
could not support her. From this appeal
she received an order for groceries to the
amount of a dollar
On the day the order was issued Miss

The city suffered intensely with the

grow more slender. The general sltua-

There was drop of 81 degrees in "a

hand. the maximum temperature had
risen at points south, Norfolk and Char
