The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-12-13

The annual meeting of both the di-
rectors and the members of the board
of associated charities was held last
evening in the Albright library. Those
present at both meetings were Colonel
f. II. Ripple, W. Gaylord Thomas, e.
b. Sturges, Rev. Rogers Israel; John
Gibbons, c. II. Welles, u. J. Phillips,
T. j. Kelly and Mrs. w. B. Duggan.
Rogers Israel presented the annual
report of the board of directors, which
was read and approved. This report.
which is a comprehensive resume OF
the work done by the board during
the past year, is given below:
The board of directors of the Associated
Charities of Scranton present this, their
sixth annual report to the public with
sense of pride in the good work that
the organization has done. Tho work
of every year must of course, always
present certain features in common, but
each year new conditions arise which
must be carefully considered and solved.
This is true in every progressive organ
ization to some extent, but is especially
true with us, as it is human nature with
which we deal, and l6rgely human nature
in degraded condition and under most
discourag!rg surroundings.
In the beginning our object was simply
to organize II bureau of information, a
clearing house of charities, where every
| organization or benevolent individual
| could prove the cases applying for aid,
and thus prevent imposture and dupli-
cation.
| We soon found 1t impossible with some
| cases of desperate need to await the
slow processes of assistance by charit-
iii ~ !
hungry, they had to be fed, or when
cold must be warmed. and so we have
been led to assist with provisions and
| coal in such cases of immediate need.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.

In cases of contagious diseases, as our
hospitals had no Isolated wards, it fell
upon us to provide in some way for care
and attention. To this end a district
nurse has been employed from time TO
time, as the funds Permitted and the life
of many woman and child has been
saved; the conditions surrounding them
improved, and on their return to health
the future greatly frightened by the care
which had tended to their recovery, and
the cleanliness which had resulted from
the exertions of the nurse.
Our office thus became the center of
applications, not only in cases of sick
ness and poverty, but for almost every
conceivable human need. Men and wo-
men out of work applied for situations;
mothers seeking errng daughters desired
advice and counsel and detective work
neighbors and friends hogan to report
| cruelty to children; notes and telephone
| requests came in beseeChing a relief from
| street begging and fakirs, indeed no i'll
! the city is heir to, but is now brought
| for attention and cure to us-even to the
| securing of husbands and wives, ahd
| the seeking of advice for the getting rid
| of the same.
| In our office now CenterS not only the
| bureau Of information with 1881 appli-
| cations recorded but the distribution of
| coal and provisions to desperate cases of
| immediate need: the entertainment in
our emergency hospital of many worthy
but miserable and distressed people who
| otherwise must be housed in station
house cells; the nursing of poor and dis
tressed and ignorant people, especially
mothers and little children child saving
and the prevention of cruelty to children
| intelligence office work; rescue of girls
and women; the prevention of street
begging and of the imposition of fakirs,
| and indeed Il general superinIendcnce
of the city's morals in all things less
| than crime

Here is story of swift-winged jus tice in Missouri: While jury at Salisbury was haggling over the pun ishment to be administered to Rob- ert Bruce for assault, they heard the Wabash train whistle, and, knowing that the sheriff was anxious to get off on it with his bunch of prisoners to the pen, compromised on two years, the judge pronounced the sentence, and Bruce was added to the chain gang that went down that night.

The Jews of the World Might Con-
 stItute.
 Three million Jews live in Russia, where they are shut up in the western provinces and villainousiy treated. If he ventures to live outside the Jew ish pale in Russia Hebrew has to carry on some humble trade, and the richest banker in Odessa, If any Rus sian has grudge against him, may be compelled to work as cobbler on pain of banishment. Naturally the Jews retaliate, and delight In getting Rus sian officials and nobIes under their power with loans of money One mil lion five hundred thousand Jews live in the Austrian empire, where they are persecuted The present mayor and corporation of Vienna were elected for the express purpose of bullying the Jewish community. France has 80, coo Jews, Roumania has 100 GOO Jews, Germany 100000, Holland S0000, and Italy 50,000. Great Britain has 80,- GOO, including many of our most no- table and popular public men. Europe has 6,000,000 Jews, America 350,O00, Africa 500, ,000 Asia 250,000, and Aus tralasia 20,000. So altogether there are 7,12o,OoO of this nation, which is pretty fair, considering that 5000 years ago they only numbered about 3,00O,- COG, and the whole civilized world has been massacring and bullying them ever since. They seem to be by far the most capable race on earth. There is not a single art, industry or science in which they have not excelled.

DAFFoDILs.

Among the spring flowers none is 50 welcome as the daffodil, that with it's rich yellow and green makes a vivid spot at the corner flower stands. The ancient Greeks held these blooms in high esteem and a crown of the golden blossoms woven in honor of the gods was placed upon the heads of the dead.
 It was said that Proserpine was gathering daffodils when she was car ried off by Pluto, and for that reason this gay flower became the symbol of death. Homer spoke i'll of it and de. clared stupor. madness and death were its attributes.
 Daffodil is a corruption of affodilly. which is derived from Asphodelus. It's other name is narcissus and the legend of the latter name is well known how Narcissus, for whom nymph died, was punished by seeing his own face in a pool of water and becoming so infatuated with it that he was spell bound to the spot till he pined away and died and was changed into the flower that bears his name today.
 The old poets were fond of the dauo- dil. Wordsworth's verses are familiar to most people and Herrick's songs tes- tify to the attention that has been paid this pretty blossom.

Tn Six Weeks.

In Switzerland last summer there were l,790 hotels, boarding houses, bathing and health resorts to accom- modate the travelling public. When one includes about 1,500 smaller hostelries, with accommodations for about 10 persons, there were sleeping accommodations for 140,O00 travellers in Switzerland. During the main tray cling season. from the middle of July to the end of August, the minimum expenditure of the average summer boarder, with his children and gery- ants, is placed at the low sum of 5 francs. Nevertheless this means a daily income to the innkeepers of 650.- 900 francs. Making allowance for fav- orabie travelling weather, these esti- mates mean an income to the hotel keepers during a month and a half of summer of 28,000,00O francs. Tn Lu- zerne alone there are 52 frst-c!ass ho. tels.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Sooner or later the world comes round to see truth and do the right Hnlard.

 Not to be able to bear poverty is a shameful thing, but not to know how to chase it away by work is more shameful thing yet.-Perieles.
 It is by the goodness of God that we have the possession of three unspeak- ably precious things-freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence of using neither Of them Mark Twain.
 Some men are very entertaining for a first interview, but after that they are exhausted and run out; on a sec- ond meeting We shall find them very fiat and monotonous; like hand or- gans, we have heard all their tunes Colton.

Eat Candy.

The time IS luckily gone when a woman had to have two pounds Of can- dy to tide her over Sunday, and she is better looking today for the exercise of common sense. A plain-spoken physician said to his anaemic patient: If you could see the inside of your stomach after eating candy you would never touch another bit!" Just after hearty dinner is the best time for candy. Then the appetite for it is abated, and the small amount taken mixes with the other food. Sugar, nuts, chocolate and pure fruit syruus are all well enough in their places. and that is after, not before. the eyen- ing or midday meal.

 The Power of a Cxclnna

Careful estimates of the force of a cyclone, and the energy required to keep a full-fedged hurricane in active operation, reveal the presence of a power that makes the mightiest efforts of man appear as nothing in compari- son. A force fully equal to four hun. dred and seventy-three million horse. power was estimated as developed in West Indian cyclone. This is about fifteen times the power that is creata- ble by all the means within the range of mans capabilities during the same time. Were steam, water, windmills, and the strength of all men and all an. imais combined. they could not at all approach the tremendous force exert ed by this terrible storm.
