EFFECTS OF THE COLD SNAP.
Increased Demand Made Upon the
Charity Organizations.

The cold weather which has prevailed in
Washington the past week has brought the
poor to the attention of the charity organi-
"a tons and the henevolently inclined pub
lie. Suffering among the citys INDECENT
classes always follows the frigid touches of
winter. So far this season there has been
little necessity for aid, for the weather has
been exceptionally mild. The prevailing
cold, however, has affected the poor, who
are unable to provide themselves with suf-
ficient fuel and clothing.
The agents of the Associated Charities
have seen the effects of the cold spell in
the increased numbers Of appeals for aid.
especially for fuel. The demands are being
met promptly as possible. and Mr.. Geo.
S. Wilson. the general secretary, stated this
afternoon that before the agents cease their
labors tonight all of the urgent cases will
have been attended to.
Monday, New Year day, the office Of the
Charities, at 81 G street, will be open until
noon to look after any urgent calls. If the
weather should take turn for the worse
and be stormy. the office will remain open
throughout the entire day.
The Citizens Relief Association has also
received notice of the effects of the cold,
| and has met all the demands made upon IT.
The joint finance committee of the Asso-
ciated Charities and the Citizens Relief
Association is drawing up an appeal, which
will probably be mailed to contributors and
the public In general early next week. The
appeal will recite briefly the work of the
two associations during the past year,
showing the number of families relieved
the number of Investigations made, etc.
The plans and needs of the two associa-
lions will be stated. The appeal will be
signed by James q. Fitch, George NJ. Stern
berg, John 10y Edison, George. Truesdell,
Herbert w. Lewis. finance committee of the
Citizens Relief Association. and Archibald
Hopkins s. w. Woodward, Frederic l..
Moore, Thomas w. Smith and A. A Hoeh-
ling. MD, finance committee of the Asso-
ciated Charities. Contributions are to be

is were engaged in the latter's grocery
store at Linden, when Lewis reached up to
shelf and seized a pistol, which was
thought to be unloaded. When it was snap
ped at Hall, it exploded. Hall stated that
he was convinced Lewis did not intend to
in1ure him, as they had always been on
the most friendly terms.
AT the Emergency Hospital this after
noon DR.. Whitson said Hall had lost a
great deal of blood and it was impossible
TO say whether he would recover or not
although the man was resting comfortably
No attempt was made to probe for the ball

treat pistol ball wound, and then, If the
patient RECEIVERS, to use the X-rays to To-
cate the missile. If discovered to be i'm
bedded where 1t will do no further dam
age the bullet will be permitted to remain

Story of a French servant.

Marie Anne de Boret, in talking about
son with servants, says Harpers Bazaar
tells a good little tale that I am sure
every woman with any sort of a servant
will appreciate.
A friend of Mile. de Boret's, who wrote
very clever novels, was trying to explain
to new femme de chambre that she
must not come and interrupt her at every
other moment, as she was fond of doing.
"Now, when you are sewing she said,
"and you are called away from your
work. you can go back and take it UP just
at the stitch where you left it. Dut If l
am disturbed in my writing. can't pick
up again the thread of my thought in
that way. You understand, don't your"
The girl said she understood, and went
off. Pretty soon she was back again.
what is it, Marie?'' asked her mistress.
ssWell. madame" said the maid, fumbling
awkwardly at her apron, IF don't know
how to do anything but sew, it's because
I was never taught to do anything. but
sew. If I'd been taught to write books, l
could write books.
The writer of novels said no more.

LABOR ACITATOR FREED.
Ouackenbush and Ranney
Withdrew Their Charge
and Secured O'Brien's
Discharge.

Martin O'Brien, the labor agitator and
walking delegate, who has been in jail
since he shot Edward Ranney, was dis
charged by Judge Blair this morning.
O'Brien has had a real or imaginary
grievance against Edward L. Quacken-
bush, a coal dealer at Newark avenue
and Seventh street, and has gone cunning
for him on two occasions. He acuses
Quackenbush of having alienated Mrs
O'Brien's affections.
On the first cunning expedition O'Brien
was drunk. He had been out allnight and
on his way home stopped into Quacken-
bush's office. Quackenbush was not there
SO O'Brien drew his revolver and fired
two shots to show what he would have
done to Quackenbush had Quackenbush
been there. Ranney who is a brother-in-
law of Quackenbush and employed by
him, and another clerk We're IN the
office at the time. O'Brien was tried for
assault and battery on them, convicted
and sentenced to six months in the penl-
tentiary.
That was something over a year ago.
While awaiting the decision of the Su-
preme Court on a writ of error taken OUT
by his counsel, Joseph M. Noonan,
O'Brien came from New York one nlght
about three months ago and lay In wait
for Ouackenbush at his home near Ber-
gen Square and shot Ranney as ne was
going up the stoop. He was tried for that
but the jury disagreed. O'Brien's counsel
had persuaded some of them that his eli
ent was insane.
Since then O'Brien and Quackenbush
have settled their differences. Quaeken-
bush and Ranney visited the prisoner In
the County Jail. 1t was agreed that they
should intercede with the Court for MS
release. and O'Brien, on his part, prom
ised to never go cunning for either OF
them again. O'Brien was brought into
court this morning.
"O'Brien,'' said Judge Blair, you are
here on two charges, one of assault ant
battery and the other of assault with in
tent to kill. You are strong. active
vigorous and intelligent man and yo,
ought not to be here. The Court is salts
fed that you are guilty but there seems
to have been some circumstances which
influenced you to do as you did.
Mr. Quackenbush and Mr.. Ranne.
| have informed the Court that they hav'
| no desire to prosecute you and that th'
difficulties between you have been salts
| factorily settled. This being the case th'
Court will suspend sentence on the con
viction for assault and battery and dis
| charge you on the other indictment. Th
| Court sincerely hopes that you will neve
be brought here again"
OBrien expressed his thanks and prom
1 ised that he would never give occasion
for being brought to court again. He
was discharged and half an hour after
| ward was walking down Newark avenue
with his grip and wearing nobby ligh
overcoat. 1t is understood that he ant
| his wife have become reconciled.

WILL CUT WATSON.
Lafayette Repubs Say He'll
Die of Old Age if He Waits
For Their Aid.


1t is now taken. for granted that the
Republican nominee for Mayor, Edward
NJ Watson, will be cut right and left
in his own ward, the Sixth. Several
members of the Lafayette Republican AS
sociation were asked last evening If the
united efforts of the Republicans would
be used in that ward to further the in
terests of the head of the ticket. All
emphatically declared that if Mr.. Watson
waited until the association came out and
worked for him he would probably die
of old age. 81
Captain Barker, pr. sident of the as
sociation said it seemed to be the uni
versal opinion that Mr.. Watson would
be cut all along the line.
"He does not stand a ghost of show"
said he. "a fight for the ticket, is USE
less. The Republicans know in their
hearts that the candidates are but sacri-
fees"
He added further that he was certain
Mr. Watson would not carry the ward in
which he resided.

Mr.. Sullivan made a good impression.
1T is the first time" he said, that

have to be taught many things about

you gentlemen and the workers OF the

public that if elected l will do my utmost
to perform the duties of my offlce IN
manner that will conserve the interests
of the city and reflect credit upon my
self and upon my party.
Messrs. Price, White and Cookson
made short speeches declaring If elected
their whole time would be devoted 10
promoting the interests of the CITY,
Leader Davis addressed the candidates.
He said:-.sThe Campaign Committee pro-
poses making an aggressive campaign
and the cooperation of every candidate
is necessary. The party is thoroughly ana
we'll organized. Harmony prevalis every
where and I have no doubt our whole
ticket will be elected if earnest work IS
done.
.Reeause victory seems apparent is nc
reason why we should not put up a hare

have an impression that it was put VI
