ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
Meeting of the Board Of Managers Held
Yesterday.
Report of the Secretary for Month of
Jnnunry-StatemeB of COntri-
buttons Received.

The regular monthly meeting of the board
of managers of the Associated Charities
was held at the central Office yesterday af-
ternoOn There were present Rev Dr.
Bradford. Mr. John JOY Edison, Mr.. Geo. II.
Harries, Mr.. Archibald Hopkins DR.. NJ. CT.
Motter, Mr.. f. L. Moore DR.. Chas. p. Nell,
DR. NJ D. Peck, Mr.. Thomas w. Smith and
Mr.. S w. Woodward.
The report of the finance committee. made
by AR Hopkins showed that the collections
thus far this year had been about 5000,
and a special effort was being made to OBJ
tain additional contributions, as the amount
contributed up to date had fallen short of
the customary donations and the work of
the society had been unusually heavy.
Secreiary's Report.
The general secretary, Mr. George s. Will
son. read his report of the work of the So
ciety for the month of January. The report
was as follows:
The month of January has seen the
usual increase In the work of the Associa-
ted Charities that is to be expected in mid
winter The number of applications in
creased from 7o7 in December to 1889 in
January. The number, however. is consid-
erably less than in January, 1898. when
there We're registered 1890 applications,
This falling off is Gue. no doubt, very large
ly to the fact that the work this year has
previous winter, and, consequently, no such
large numbers of persons have been regis
tered as applicants who, when their cases
were Investigated, were found to be un-
worthy of relief. The amount of actual
need brought to the attention of the society
this year has been about the same as in
former years, and, indeed II has been some
what greater owing to the prevalence of
an unusual amount of sickness for several
months past.
IN the $50 applications made during the
month were represented S56 separate fam
lilies. 343 white and Jl3 colOred. Seventy
seven persons applied for work only, and
employment was found for twenty nine;
temporary. nineteen, and permanent, ten.
Investigations by Agents.
"A total of $50 Investigations were made
by the agents during the MONTH and 1919
new cases were registered. Eight persons
reported for investigation were found to
have given false addresses.
Relief was procured for T33 families, as
follows: From churches, 81 families; from
benevolent individuals, directly, for %
from the Golden Book fund for 5; from the
supplies contributed by the public schools
for Ill, and from the Citizens Relief AS
sociation for 531.
Eleven persons were placed in institu-
! tions seven for temporary treatment and
four for permanent care. Transportation
was procured for one person 10 home out
side the city.
THE agents during the month made a
! total number Of 1903 visits in the work of
investigation, seeking employment etc. A
total OF III letters Were received making

German Ambassador,s Gift.

A letter from the German ambassador,
inclosing his check for $40, has been re-
ceived by the District Commissioners, with
the request that they divide the money be-
tween two policemen who were detailed
for duty at the embassy during the social
function there recently. Upon the sugges-
tion of Chief Sylvester, one-half of the
amount was divided between the officers
and the remainder was placed to the credit
of the police pension fund.

owing to the pressure of work in at
tending to applicants for relief, the agents
have not been able to make their usual
visits for collecting savings, but quite a
number of those who have learned TO save
have come to the offices to make their de-
pOsits, and during the month S2G 20 was
added to the savings fund. An encouraging
feature of the savings system is that dur
ing the present winter quite number of
families who have heretofore been helped
by the charities have provided for them
selves with the money saved during the
summer months. In January alone forty
three persons drew upon their savings fund
to provide for themselves and families.
Ninety-eight Investigations were made
during the month of applicants for free
treatment at the Central Dispensary. Ger
uhcates for treatment were granted to
eighty-three, eleven We're refused and four
We're found to have given false addresses
Nine applicants for free treatment at the
Womans 5 Clinic were investigated to all
of whom certificates were granted Two
applicants for treatment at the Eastern
Dispensary were investigated to one of
whom a certificate was granted and one
was refused.
The unusually severe weather of the
past week has caused a great increase in
the demands made upon the society," but we
have been able to meet all reasonable re-
quests Tor aid, and with the cooperation of
the Relief Association to provide the neces-
sary relief funds, the chances are that we

His Career Unique.

1.-The career of John Aaron Rawlins was
one unique in war, unparalleled in history.
At the beginning of the great civil conflict
he had never read a military book or seen
company of uniformed men. At its close
he had risen. by successive promotions in
military rank, from captain to major gen.
eTal; his escutcheon bore a battle roll of
Victories reaching from Belmont to Apo
mattoX; he had helped to organize, to mar
shal and to Lad the mightiest armies the
world had ever known. He exercised no
Independent command, yet his was a
sphere of pre-eminent usefulness. He was
suprsmely executive. the right arm of
power, a steadfast citadel of strength to
his trusting chief. He was thus a type of
the American volunteer, and the unerring
law by which such men step out, unherald-
ed and unsuspectad, from the body of our
intelligent citizenship, emergencies de-
mand them, is one of the surest guarantees
of the stability of the republic"
Mr.. Castle spoke of Gen. Rawiins' SER
vices on the staff of Gen. Grant saying:
1.-The functions of chief of staff to an
army commander are always important and
confidential. But Rawlins' relations TO
cooperation such as in no other recorded
instance has grown so intimate endured
SO long. He was friend and mentor,
tender and true there is authentic record
that IN more than one crisis his warnings
prevented unutterable catastrophe. He was,
In addition, the necessary supplement to
great military genius. He reduced to con-
crete and practical arrangement the in
spirations of that spacious intelligence. Fe
was the Interpreter of the oracles of ag-
gressiyeness. Hs formulated battle plans
as revealed to him by their mighty archi-
tect, and arranged the details of their exc
cution. He gave his views, even sometimes

To Be Held In Charlotte Ten Days Be,
ginning July II
Two of the greatest factors in the
good roads problem in Ibis country are
money TO c3ver the expenses, and
trained road builders, who know how
to expend this money jldlciously.
Road builders will not multiply unless
there ia money with which to pay
them, but the existence in every
county or township of supervisors who
know how to exoend every dollar Of
road money to the best advantage, for
permanent results, will very greatly
increase the Willingness of the people
to vote taxes for road building.
With a view to aiding in bringing
about this result, by awakening an in
terest in this subject, a road buildere'
institute is to be held in Charlotte, the

The decision of the French Court of
Cessation, June 8, to grant Dreyfus a
new trial, is received on this side of

with many expr: ssions of qualification
and Of congratulation, not go much to
Dreyfus as to France herself, remarks
the Literary Digest. The gen eral opin-
ion, as rendered by the press, is that
France is about to ''vindicate her
honor" in a way far better than the
n she tried when she convicted the
innocent artillery captain in 1894 It
is said that the judges Of the Court of
Cessation, who declared unanimously
for the ne y trial, were restrained from
declaring Dreyfus innocent and setting
him free only by the-fact that it would
not be correct legal procedure. There
ia said TO be no doubt that the court
martial at the new trial will acquit
Dreyfus, as there remains not a shred
Of proof to be offered against him. The
docuulents are now known to be for
geries and the personal testimony false.
Col. du Patty de Clam, the chief prose
cu5or Of Dreyfus, is in Ill. E3terhazy
c%ontesses that he forged the famous
bOrdereau As no other Jewish off
GERS in the French army have been at
tackled in all the time since Dreyfus
was arrested, the motive for such a
relentless persecution and seeming
conspiracy against this one artillery
captain becomes somewhat Of a mys-
tery. Dreyfus, released from his long
captivity On Devils Island, will be
present at his new trial, which will be
held at Rennes, nearly 200 miles west
of Paris.

have been In the hapit OF selling their
rice and other crops in advance to the
country ssOrekeepers and dealing out
the amount agreed upon. This year he
asserts, as it by an agreement, no such
action has been taken; that the mer
chants at the country crossroads have
their stores loaded down with goods
that they cannot sell; and that the ne
groes are not buying. h says it is
evidently their intention to sell their
crops for cash and leave the State in
