For the Poor of the City.

Mr.. W. H. Crawford, of New York,
President of the Crawford Wooden
company, who is in this city, said last
night that he would give 500 annual
ly to permanent organization which
had for its object the helping of the
needy poor of the city of Martins
burg.
He said it had been his experience
in such cases like the present when
subscriptions are called for and given
out that fifty per cent was given to
those who were really not in need but
imposed upon the committee. The
plan suggested by Mr.. Crawford and
under which he is willing every year
to subscribe 500 is to form a perma-
nent organization, elect secretary,
and pay him, whose duty it is to keep
list of all the poor of the city, to as
certain from the physicians all other
cases of want.
The organization is to have asso-
ciate members who pay 81 annually
into the treasury. This would give
the association quite sum to go on.
The secretary has power to distribute
according to the needs of the poor
from the general treasury, and when
that is exhausted he calls upon the
associate members for contributions.
Mr.. Crawford says that where the
plan is in operation the work of relief
is most successful. Tuesday World.
We heartily concur in the above
and would like to see such an organi-
zation form ed in this city. In times
like the present when the poor are
placed in such destitute circumstances
relief would be immediate without
having to call mass meeting of the
citizens and then send out soliciting
committees. With an organization of
this kind there would be no imposing
upon the reliet committee as is usual
ly done by those who are not actually
in want
We would like to suggest that in
case such an organization is effected
that one of its objects be never to do
nate money to those in need under
any circumstances. If any money is
paid out let it in every case be done
by the secretary or some one appoint.
ed. Too often have we seen cases
where the rum shop gets the money
donated.
Again we say let Martinsburg have
permanent Relief Association.

Weston threw our two muskets into
the sea lest their discovery on board
might cause suspicion or annoyance.
The morning was clear, cool and
starry; as yet no vestige of dawn was
visible. and all was still and quiet on
shore; but | was in momentary expec-
tation of seeing boat dash off toward
us. though those from whom We had
escaped could have no just cause of
complaint.
Suddenly / heard the sound of oars.

almost total eclipse of the moon that
night, and that it would be visible
from this part of the globe at a. IN.
In his excitement he was about to call
the rest of the folks, who had retired.

broken bits of glass and went to
smoking them, just as though it were
the blazing sun which was to be
viewed. This done he watched the
