ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Report Shows Fewer Applications
for Assistance.
Able Bodied Men Had Less Difficulty
in Finding Employment
Last Year.

The sixteenth annual report OF the
Associated Charities has been issued
from the office No. 6o2 West street.
Superintendent Mrs. Nj. A. L. Clark III
her report to the board of managers,
says:
Statistics show that there have been
fewer applications this year than last
Able bodied men have had no difficulty
in finding employment; the natural bread
winner has been able to resume his
place as the support of his family, leav-
s.isg taie' wifes filae and strength 'ifec 10
che demands of motherhood and home,
but to those who are never more than
partially self-supporting, and to the sick,
we have had to respond. Many families
were made dependent for continued per-
iods because of infectious diseases; all
sources of self-help were shut off ami
public or private assistance was I'M
peratiye, which in some cases was gener-
ously shared, yet, the society was left
with demands equal to its resources.
The woodward and laundry, though not
so heavily taxed as an employment feat
ure, were valuable in emergency, and
so have continued on q small basis.
Permanent help to the destitute, and to
prevent recurrence of need has been
our earnest endeavor. In such cases it
is our special desire to cooperate with
other charitable and church .organiza-
tions that we may through our united
efforts bring about the best results.
While our country is enjoying more
material prosperity and appeals for work
are rarely heard from the able-bodied
and strong, the problem constantly con
| fronting us is the poverty of the defective
classes, who through their disabilities
and incapacities, ufit them for full hand
+! ed labor. Intemperance, accident or ne
elected opportunities are frequently the
causes Of such conditions. The vacant
| lot cultivation has been q great boon
to many such cases and has aided in the
solution Of this problem. 1t seems, how
ever, that some more effective method of
winter occupation might be carried on
for such parties.
The Benevolent and Provident So
ceties have conducted their respective
employment bureaus for women i'll q
most efficient manner during the winter
months, and have so aided some zoo
women by weekly sewing.

have faithfully labored in the cause OF
charity, and to physicians. institutions

panies, fer their friendly cooperation.

LIVELY CHASE
So
Ned White Arrested for Waylay-
ing William Hunter.
SHAKES WIEN IDENTIFIED
New Castles Former ex-Postmaster
is Positive That White is One
of the Three Colored Men
Who Held Him Up.
SHAKES WEEN IDENTIFIED

- u. -
After an exciting chase OF nearly
a mile, Ned White, colored, alias Ned
Mitchell, was arrested at Chester on Sat
day by Detective Bernard j. McVey of
this city and Chief William Leary OF
Chester, ON the charge of being one of
the three colored men who waylaid Will
liam Hunter, former postmaster of New
Castle, at the end of the causeway
early Sunday, May 13 last.
Hunter was relieved of gold watch
valued at $S5 ring worth about SIS
and five dollars in money.
Detective McVey had worked on the
case when the robbery was first re-
ported but lost track of the parties.
Two weeks ago he worked up a clue
which resulted in locating White in Ches-
ter.
White was found in house in Long
bottoms row at Chester. He saw the
officers approach the house. The officers
forced open the door and White ran to
the back OF the house and out of a Sec
ond-story window on to shed. He
then ran along the roofs Of the sheds of
four houses, jumped into yard and over
a back fence.
The officers kept after him and gradu-
ally gained. After going about ten
blocks they captured him in South Ches-
ter.
Mayor Jefferis of Chester will give
White hearing this morning.
After the capture of White Detective
McVey telephoned to Mr.. Hunter, who
came over from New Castle and went
with the detective to the Jail at Thur
low where White had been taken.
Hunter positively Unidentified White as
one of the three men who waylaid him.
Hunter had missed the last New Cas-
tie car ON Saturday night, May IL, and
started to walk to New Castle. When
he had gone some distance on the Cause
way he met three colored men. They
got into conversation with him. One
asked him which road to take to Farm
hurst, another asked where he was going
and he said he was going home, after
some further talk onG asked him where
he lived and when he said New Castle
called him liar and struck him on the
side of the head with a stone, knocking
him down.
| Hunter got up and one of the Others
raised club to strike when he said
Hold on don't hit me, I'll give you my
money" One Of the men then grabbed
his watch and tore the chain.
One of the men tripped him just ther
md he fell, all three jumped on him
They searched him and took his valu
ables. Finally they let him go and ht
resumed his walk to New Castle. bu
had to sit down several times owing t.
his injuries.
It is said that two days after thu
robbery White showed the watch ant
ring to a person and threw the poke
book in the fire. He trembled like lea
when Hunter identified him on Saturday
