Major T. N. Wood, U. S. NJ c. stationed
at the marine barracks this city, recently
complained to the District Commissioners
of odors which he thought must emanate
from the crematory used for the burning
of waste paper near the foot of South Capi-
tol street. The matter was referred to the
superintendent Of street cleaning for re-
port. Mr.. Stutler states that he is sure
the odors do not come from the crematory
as he has made an investigation and finds
nothing but paper has been burned there
He suggests AN investigation of the vicin-
ity by the health office.

TALK ON FRIENDLY VISITING.
The General Uplifting of Poor FHmi-
lies Discussed.

Quite a large number of charity work
ers gathered at the headquarters of the
Associated Charities yesterday afternoon
for the final summer friendly visiting"
conference Plans were formed whereby
this important branch of philanthropic
work will be carried on among the poor
of Washington during the coming sum
mer. Friendly visiting is q form of
personal supervision of families which
coma under the care of the Associated
Charities A number of workers agree
each to find destitute family and to
give the wants OF that family careful at
tention. This is done by friendly visit
ing" which consists of the establishment
of friendship with those in unfortunate
circumstances.
The conference yesterday afternoon
was conducted by Charles F. Wei
sociated Charities. Ladies made uP
the greater part of the number pres
ent. Everyone was urged to give ac-
counts of their work with poor families
and especially of those visited frequently.
A general discussion of the cures for
the drinking habit arose in connection
with the conference, and several OF those
present cited instances of the complete
cure of drunkards, whose previous bad
habits had rendered their families piacti-
cally destitute.
About eighteen promised to form them
selves into a class for the study of the
friendly visiting system. Friendly Visit
ing Among the Poor is the title of an in
teresting book by Mary Richmond, the
general secretary of the Society for Or
ganizing Charity of Philadelphia. One
chapter of this work will be studied at
the meetings to be held on the second and
the summer at the Associated Charities
headquarters.
