Working Together.

The two organizations are thus working
together. The Associated Charities is con-
stantly and rapidly improving the condi-
tons of the poor and dependent, while the
Citizens Relief Association is affording
temporary relief wherever it is necessary.
The former spends no money for emer-
geucy relief, the latter spends none for any
other purpose 1t has no paid agents. The
Associated Charities must, of course, pay
Its agents, who spend all their time in max
ing visits, encouraging the poor to help
themselves, and devising ways and means
to enable them to do So and collecting the
information so useful and valuable in en-
aiding those charitably inclined to worthily
bestow their aid The money which goes
to those agents is most economically and
beneficially spent.
y Those who contribute to the funds of
either organization can feel assured that
every cent is economically expended in the
manner above indicated. The Citizens Re
lief Association makes annual reports of
moneys received and disbursed to the Dis
trict Commissioners, and they appear in the

under the direction of the Citizens Relief
Association, for the benefit of the poorer
classes, is the organization of the Sanitary
Improvement Company, the object of which
is the construction of small sanitary dwell
ings to be rented at very reasonable rates.
Its scheme and success were briefly stated
in report of Surgeon General Sternberg,
who had charge of its organization and is
its president.
After stating the objects Of the company.
it is reported that the company, which was
organized IN the spring Of 1897, now has
S76, 600 invested in sanitary flats, which rent
at prices ranging from 50 TO SIS per month.
A rebate of one month rent every year Is
given to tenants whose apartments have
not required any repairs. In other words,
the company allows one months rent in
each year for repairs, and If no repairs are
needed, the tenant receives the benefit of
this allowance, or of so much Of 1t as may
remain after required repairs are paid for.
Present Prosperity.
The property of the company consists of
twenty-eight. houses containing fifty-six
fats of a novel type and possessing ad-
vantages which are highly appreciated by
the occupants. The apartments are all oc-
cupled and the belief is expressed that there
is a broad field for the extension of the
philanthropic plans of the directors of the
company Dividends Of 5 per cent per an
upon all stock issued, and the directors
confidently believe that the stock will con-
tinue to be safe per cent investment.
Additional sanitary flats will be built in
different parts Of the city as rapidly as
the finances of the company will permit.
A considerable number Of the directors
and three Of the four officers of the Wash
ington Sanitary Improvement Company are
members of the Citizens Relief Associa-
ton, and this association continues to take
deep interest in the success of the COM
pany, which represents the practical out
come of its deliberations and efforts to
carry out the wishes Of the District Com
mssioners

Have you been notified that you
will not be retained by the prince of

No, but l guess it's true, all the

ing that has been stirred up against
American jockeys here by some of the
swells and sporting papers is the
worst l ever knew. The prince could
not stand against it, I suppose, and
say nothing against him."
DO you intend to give up racing

communicated to Sloan. and the

worst blow he has received, as other
owners will surely follow suit.

A Hollow Boast.

There are some so thoughtless as to
believe that "England is borrowing of
u.s. The London Bankers Magazine
not long since showed that British
capitalists have out in loans to Great
Britain and foreign countries a sum
equal to quite Eighteen Thousand
Million Dollars, on which the interest
is about One Thousand Million Dollars,
which is paid at London
monthly, the largest sum being pay
able in January of each year. Nearly
half of this debt is due from foreign
countries, the remainder to Great
Britain. The interest is arranged, to
be loaned out and is deposited where
it will probs bly, be called for. And
this business of lending goes on increas-
ing. Large sums are placed in New
York banks which virtually are British
institutions. So if it happens that
England is in pinch she borrows of
her own subjects from wherever there
is a surplus. Not long ago it was at
Paris, now it is at New York whence
she draws this loan. No. we are a
debtor nation and not in the lend. The
truth is. all money of the world is con-
trolled by the great Rothchlid banks of
London, under the worlds standard of
money to Europe! Reader. do you
know many people in your vicinity who
have bought British bonds? How
many have you that you should exult
in the boast?
