In New York. New Rich Society.

\ salient feature OF the reign OF the

answer would be in the negative had
the person inquired about not accumu-
lated wealth. No matter whether he
had served his country as 4 soldier,
statesman or philanthropist, had led
the youth OF his generation as college
president, had been an educator of the
people in school or pulpit, had achieved
wide renown as 4 jurist, had written a
great book, had held multitudes en-
thralled by his poetry. had painted no.

appeal: III <orS - :,
As a friend of the poor, and a CON
trloutor to our work among and for the
poor Of our city, we appeal once more
toyou for willing and generous aid.
For 7tle last twenty-feur years we

piled relief
The nature aud the need of Our work
you know, and important and valuable
as other charities may be, ours surely is
primary and Indispensable; the only So
c1ety claiming, or attempting to do the
work. of. general relief. We also furnish
work for men and women. Send all APP
plicants for relief to us.
At the beginning of our winter work
We ask subscriptions for the year. as our
work is based on the amounts then re,
ceived and pledged.
d. Already the demand for aid is pressing
and we have no money. Our treasury is
empty ard has been at times overdrawn
1t is evident that we can only do so much
work as with care and economy can be
done with the means supplied u.s. If any
worthy applicant fails to receive aid it
will be because we have not ourselves
been supplied with the means to meet
the need. During the last quar- ter 445 per-
sons applied for relief, which was s
more than the same quarter last year.
"A few of saur citizens give largely.
more give sparingly, and still more give
nothing at all to aid III our work for the
worthy poor Of our own city"
