ASSOCIATED CHARITIES

Last evening in the rooms OF the
Y. NJ. c. A. Mrs. Lydia J.. Williams,
who is thoroughly familiar with the
subject. described the nature OF the
work done by the Charities Aid Asso-
Citations. These are organizations which
the progressive communities in many
countries established in order to pre-
vent fraud in the administration Of
charities, and in order to secure great
er efficiency.
Benevolent people have been so I'M
wise in their gifts TO the poor; the
mere sentiment of sympathy has so
often put good sense and thought aside,
there has resulted finally condition

poorer people that calls for reforma-

many distinct charitable societies, each
one of them connected with a Church,
and independent OF all other similar
societies, the dishonest and lazy poor
people are the first to discover Il, and
impose on all of the societies,

BIBLE READING.

Some time ago one OF the prominent
educators of the country undertook TO
ascertain how much the average Amer
lean college student knows about the
Bible. To ninety-six students he gave
nine simple questions TO be answered
in writing off-hand. He explained to
them his object and promised not to
show their answers to anybody. This
was the question paper:
!. What Is the PentateuCh?
2. What is the higher criticism Of
the scriptures?
3. Does the Book of Jude belong to
the New Testament or the Old?
4. Name one of the patriarchs Of the
Old Testament.
;. Name one Of ne judges Of the
Old Testament
6. Name three of the kings Of Israel.
Z. Name three prophets.
s. Give one of the beatitudes.
.. Quote a verse from the letter to
the Romans.
Eight of the ninety-six students
answered all of the questions correct
ly. OF the remainder, thirteen
answered eight, eleven answered sew
en-, five answered four, eleven answered
three. thirteen answered two, eleven
answered one and three failed outright.
Most of these students were brought
up in Christian homes, where they
We're supposed to have enjoyed the
benefit of average Christian instruc-
ton. This disclosure ought to open
the eyes OF Christian people. Evident
ly there Is need OF reform In this direc-
ton.
While the ignorance of the Bible is
increasing among the intelligent class
81, ii Is a curious circumstance that
the mountaineers of the Allegheny and
Blue Ridge ranges OF mountains south
of the Maryland line are sigularly pro-
cient in their knowledge yet. Al
though these people are thriftless, are
without book knowledge" read few
newspapers, live in log cabins, and
herd together in the same room like
animals, large numbers of them can
repeat any verse in THE Bible and
their conversation Is filed with Bibli-
cal quotations. One of the Federal
detectives, in search OF the distillers
of Illicit whisky, said that the major
ity OF these Moonshners were Bible
scho' Ts.
The reason for this proficiency is in
the fact that they have no other liter
AZURE. They attend the Churches with
regularity, and hear the reading of the
Scriptures. Their memories aH fair
and are not charged with the prevail.
ing literature of the times. Their re-
ligious prejudices are intense. and be-
liefs and creeds are founded on the
letter of the Holy Writ.
The conditions of our civilization
on the other hand, prevent the young
people in live" communities from be-
coming familiar with the Bible. Blunt
ly expressed, there is no time for study
ing its contents. Men absorbed In
business cannot find the time to read
the Scriptures with their children, and
the children. educated under the pre-
vailIng not house system, have no
time to spare for 1t. Communities OF
religious people settle down to the
practice of getting their knowledge OF
it from the brief readings OF the Bible
in the pulpits on Sunday.
The moral aspect of this want OF
knowledge is another question. On
that there are great differences OF
opinion.

Two Children Killed.
(Hilo Herald.)

Two little girls residing in the vicln-
ity OF Laupahoehoe were killed on FRI
day last by being run over by heavy
team as they were returning from
school. AS near as can be learned the
children, named Jarbln and da Silva,
were riding on the wagon when one OF
the wheels struck a stone and the chill
dren were thrown to the ground. Re
fore the cart could be stopped the
wheels passed over their heads inlet
ing injuries from which they died. An

POOR PAY.

Thirty-fye years have passed since
the close OF the Civil War. A recent
debate in the House of Representa-
tives shows that there are still many
unsettled claims against the govern
ment arising out OF the properly used
for war purposes in the South, and the
persistent injustice OF the Nation in re-
fusing to pay compensation that has
been due for thirty-eight years.
James Cameron and wife owned and
occupied thirty-seven acres of valuable
land in Chattanooga, Tenn. Thirty
four acres were covered with a forest
OF large oak trees, and there was a
residence, a studio, barns. and other
improvements upon the land.
Gen. Rosecrans occupied the place
with his troops in 1868, constructed
earth works upon ii, and cut down all
OF the fine trees for firewood. The
place remained in the possession and
use OF the army until the war closed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cameron were thor
oughly loyal TO the United States, and
in every way aided the Federal forces.
A commission appointed by Gen. Rose
Grams II 1868 estimated the damages
done TO the property at $4,000. Gen.
Grant in 1864, personally urged the
payment o, the claim, although the
war had not closed. He certified, ol
his own knowledge to the use OF the
premises for Notifications and wrob
70 Mrs. Cameron from the Army Head
quarters at City Point, Va, in 1864
that 1t was case where prompt
payment should be made"
Nothing was paid The war closed
and nothing was paid, Year after
year the case was presented To Con-
gress, but no action was taken. Mr.,
Cameron died in poverty. Then MIS-
Cameron urged the payment OF It,
Congress refused 10 act. Mrs. Cameron
is now living in poverty.
Gen. Grosyenor, the stalwart Repub-
Ilcan, made an effort in the House on
February 9th to obtain the payment
of $4,000 or one-half the amount al
lowed, and without interest, Even Mr..
Cannon aided him. There was no dis
pute about the facts. II was acknowl-
edged that while Union men in the
North, as a rule, were not injured by
the war, there were Union men in the
south who were unquestionably loya
like Mr. Cameron, but We're ruined by
the movements OF the Federal army
A vote was taken, after the debate, or
the bill appropriating $4,000 to Mrs
Cameron, and the matter was laid over
for future consideration.
Mr. Siayden OF Texas stated during
the debates that officers of the army at
the close of the Civil War had agreed
80 lease certain wharves at Port La
vaca, Texas, from the owner, that the
wharyes were used by the army, and
the amount of the rental $1,000, GER
tilted to by the commanding officers
lie stated that the amount had not
been paid, because there was no ap'
Precipitation to pay it, and in spite Of
the constant application for settlement
during the last thirty-fve years, 1t still
remained unpaid. The owner OF The
claim Is now poor, helpless and par
alytic.

ceived at the meeting
The proposed department. should be un-
der the sole control of the Boulevard
Commission. Rolffes and the other mem
bers of the association believe. The work
done by the Commission since its app
pointment was the subject of much COM
ment at the meeting and before adjourn
ing Mr.. Rolffes suggested that the assoc
citation banquet the commissioners in rec
ognition of their work in the cause of

gestion took the form of a resolution.
