The Ditchfng Probe m.

To the Editor or the DlSpdtcn.
Way back in the ffties, when Little
ton Waddell was principal OF the Staun-
ton Academy, i remember to have heard
him speak of the 100 rods OF ditchins'
problem. Suppose we put IT down just as
a farmer would who keeps his accounts:
a has 100 rods of ditching to be dug; hires
and j. to do the work, giving each
81 per rod 80 rods each, $50 each-tOtal
cost. 500. b, another farmer. had 100
rods OF ditching 20 be dug; hires l. and T.
10 90 the work; for reasons Of his own
gives II $l121-2 per rod. who digs As 40
rods ans earns $50. This leaves II 80 80
rods to dig, whom y gave only 81 II cents
per rod, for reasons OF his own, which
amounts TO $500 l-s.
Farmer \ pays 500 for his work.
Farmer Il pays $9S.6l Is for the same
work. FARMER.
=. S.-If / remember Alright, the Dis
patch some years ago gave a solution Of
the above problem algebraically.
There is no question In the above note
and nothing Is to be said. as the farmers
paid according to their own ideas. We
suppose our correspondent does not re-

 all night, ready to deal with cases and
 render assistance. So it can be seen
 that the office hours of the Organized Charities are all day and night | MT. and Mrs. F. H. Cram, who live in { the building, superintend thework done 1 there and have full charge of the house.
 The United Workers have their quar- ters on the right as you enter the build 1 ing, and just back of their room is the committee room, where all the meet ings of the association are held. On the second floor of the building is the Boys club, which has just been fitted up for the winter. The spacious room has been repainted and other im- provements have been made. This club Is under the supervision of the United Workers and it's head is Superintendent McCann. Books, games and a well equipped carpenter shop help to give the boys pleasant evening, and on the third floor is gymnasium, which is very popular with the youngsters.
 On this same floor are the bed rooms for the boys and children.
 The basement of the building is occu- pied by the laundry, kitchen and din- ing rooms of MT. and Mrs. Cram. There is also a large wardrobe down stairs packed with clothes ready to be given the needy.
 The association are always very ready to accept clothes from anybody who may have some to give away. There Is great need for clothes of any descrip- tion, especially in winter and if any body has any garments they wish to get rid of, no better place could be selected for disposal than the associated char ities
 In the laundry there are each day about five ironers and fourteen or fif- teen doing washing. The work is ex- ceptionally we'll done and the list of customers is growing very rapidly.
 From the laundry the reporter went to the lodging house, but only on visit The master of the house is MT. E. W. Linton, and J. A. Turner is in charge of the wood-yard. Mrs. J. Hunt and Miss Perry supervise the laundry work.
 Mrs. Cram, the matron of the house, is a woman of great ability, and all who seek assistance from her are treated kindly, and are given all the relief and assistance possible.

 Stockholders in the Bridgeport and New Haven Electric Light companies are invited to sell out to a new com pany formed largely from the directors of the old companies and get three and one-half dollars in the new com pany for one in the old. As the change is recommended by the directors, and the old stockholders as usually pleased to receive an increase in the volume of securities with any cost, the new com bination will of course go through, though several holders have expressed themselves as very well satisfied with present conditions and income A point in favor is that the management of the new company Is the same as that of the old and that the companies were not sold out to foreign corporation to be managed by residents who would not be in sympathy with local holders and local interests as would have been the case had the gas company been sold two years ago to a syndicate of New York financiers, and then again in due season the water may be trusted to yield some little dividend.
