ton is made. This is done for the pur-
pose of learning the history of the case
and to ascertain the causes that
prompted the person to ask for assist
ance, and also to enable the members
of the committee to form an opinion as
to what extent aid should be furnished
Such Investigations frequently lead to
detection of intended fraud, sometimes
to unworthiness.
ION this latter point / wish TO say
that the women who are taken into the
work-room are all respectable and up
right morally.
1--WE do not, as a rule, undertake our
investigations with the preconceived
idea that we shall discover it's object
to be unworthy. When we do discover
It to be such, 1t Is quite accidental and
very disappointing. In that case, of
course, the applicant is refused aid.
When we have cause merely to suspect
that something is wrong, we give the
woman the benefit OF the doubt until
something further develops.
Every worthy case is taken up
promptly, and all possible assistance Is
granted
The work furnished is chiefly that of
making mems neckties for the whole-
sale establishments. The big manufac-
turers furnish the material, and pay
from Is to rs cents a dozen for having
the ties made up.

women whose poverty and helplessness
are known to Supt. Edward Rubovits
of the United Hebrew Charities. They
come at 8 o'clock in the morning and
leave at in the afternoon. These
hours allow them to complete all their
household work before leaving home
and to return in time to prepare the
evening meal. The tasks given them
are not hard, and in payment each re-
ceives IS cents day.
r The only drawback to the workroom
is that it can accommodate no more
than fifty women at time. The COM
mittee must, therefore, perform its
duties on principles of scientific charity
and according to the means at Its dis
posal. 1t cannot be generous. 1t can
only be just. In commenting on this.
Supt. Rubovits says:
Our applicants appear in a different
attitude from that adopted by those
who petition non-Jewish charitable in
situations. They demand, where others
ask. 1t is true that our donors were
more liberal. The peculiarities may
have their origin in that maxim of the
Bible: For the poor shall never cease
out of the land And, therefore, the
Hberality on the one hand, is greater,
and the demands from our people, on
the other hand, are more persistent.
"Our manner of procedure is easily
explained. A case appears and the ap-
plication is taken. Then an investlga-

but days portion Of this burden to
convert any one OF the many ordinary
lakes into broad meadow lands.
Some idea Of the -rapldity with which
lakes die under this process is shown
IN the fact that seventy three out of
l4s lakes in the Swiss region have dis
appeared since 1873. Lakes die by eth
err being filled UP or drained Off. The
draining oil results when a river
has worn gorge back so deep that
the water all runs out. The Niagara
river Is doing its best in this draining

over four feet a year. and in time
would Kill the like. Unfortunately.
however, the lake is destined 10 be
drained through Chicago. Lake Tahoe,
a beautiful lake in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, is also one Of those des-
tined in time to be killed as a result
of the draining process.
Peat is one of the greatest filers
and works more rapidly than any other
form of deposits. 1t is estimated that
one-tenth OF Ireland is peat, and over
once a peat bog. The speaker called
attention to the Dismal Swamp in
Florida, which was once a vast lake,
but Is now a little lake in one part.
So rank is the growth of this peat in
that hot land that the surface OF the
lake Is fourteen feet higher than the
level OF the surrounding boys, showing
that It has been literally forced up
into the air.
Lakes, swamps, bogs and then gar
den lands represent the stages in the
process of dying. Filling. draining and
encroachment of vegetation represent
the process that kills the lakes In
warmer climes, while the forces of the
air are agencies in the cooler portions
of the country. Prof. Gregory closed
his lecture with an interesting ac-
count of the way the lakes have dts
appeared in the regions i'm the western
part Of the United States, where only
desert land Is now found.

Manchester Market.

Manchester, Oct. 12.-While there has
been no particular change in the cloth
market generally last week, business
was exceedingly difficult to negotiate.
There was a rather more hopeful feel
ing, especially in the Indian section.
There was fair inquiry with occasional
unremunerative transactions. An in
cIeasing number of loans are idle at
Blackburn. The China inquiry was DOR
mant, and there was no pressure to
sell, the engagements in the market ex-
tending into January. There were mod
crate miscellaneous South American
and Levant inquiries. Yarns were fair
ly steady and quiet. The demand for
the turnover of American cotton
twists and wefts was not large. Ship
pers appear to have satisfied their i'm
mediate wants.

Brunswick Bar MOurns Death of Col.
Smith-Other Notes.

Brunswick, Ca, Oct. 12.-Col Era (.
Smith, one of the Oldest and best known
attorneys in this city, died yesterday,
and was buried to-day.
The cause of Mr.. Smiths death was
the injuries received by falling from
a second-story window here last Tues
day morning, an account of which ap-
peared in these dispatches. The I'M
fortunate man received several serious
injuries. However, he was improving
up to Friday morning, when a change
for the worse came. and the attending
physicians announced that he could
live until morning.
Mr. Smith has been practicing law
in the Brunswick circuit for a long
number of years, at one time repre-
scented Glynn county in the Legislature.
and, during his life. has been consid-
cred one of the brightest members of
the bar. His funeral this. afternoon was
attended by the entire Brunswick Bar
Association and a large number of
friends.

The Brunswick public schools this
year have the largest enrolment in
their history and many of the grades
are overlooking. Much additional
space is required to accommodate all
OF the children, and the school Is
crowded. The increase over the en-
rollment last year is over 100.
The congregation of the Second Ad-
vent Church have decided to erect a
handsome new church building. The

work will begin on the structure al

RAILROADS AT BRUNSWICK.
Further Conference Held-The CUES
ton of ShOps

ton of shops.
Brunswick, Ga. Oct. 11.-Another
conference Of the officials of the three
lines of railroads centering in Bruins
wick was held here to-day, and, as
usual, a whole lot IF "red tape" and
star-chamber sessions were the order
of the day. Those present were Gen.
eral Superintendent w. B. Denham and
Division Superintendent Wright, on
the part of the Atlantic Coast Line:
superintendent Vaughn, General Agent
Thompson and General Freight Agent
McClesky of the Southern, and Presi-
dent Machen, General Manager Nc
Duff1e and Superintendent Westrlck on
the part OF the Brunswick and Bir-
mingham.
The actual purport of the meeting
seemed to have been shrouded with
considerable railroad secrecy. However
II has developed that primarily the
meeting was called as between the
Coast Line and the Southern for the
purpose of taking up the question of
switching charges at Brunswick, and
your correspondent has ii that AMIGA
bic arrangements have been made by
the representatives present which upon
pelng confirmed by the general officers
OF the respective companies, will be
perfectly satisfactory to the Bruns-
WICK patrons of the two lines.
Later In the day another conference
was held in which the Brunswick and
birmingham was represented by the
omcers named above. At this confer
ence the question of the removal of the
atlantic Coast Line shops was the ONLY
matter considered, and the Southern
omclals not being interested in this
matter, were not in attendance. II
Is understood that in this conferences
the Brunswick and Birmingham peo-
pie proposed to the Coast Line to nav
d reasonable rental for the shops to
tna1 company and the proposition was
10 include all work of the Coast Line
IN the shops, which is to be done under
the auspices of the Brunswick and
birmingham. In other words tba
Brunswick and Birmingham neo~
pie want shop facilities in Brunswick
Inc Coast Line think it advisable to
remove portion of their shops from
brunswick, hence a trade was in line.
Inc Brunswick and Birmingham peo-
PIE, II Is understood, propose to keen
intact the present organizat ton at the
snop, and In addition to doing the work
OF the two lines in Brunswick will en-
gage extensively in the car building
industry. and it is estimated that at
ieast nve hundred cars of various kinds
VIII be constructed in the shops next
year If present plans carry.
In other words, the situation reduces
Itself to last analysis which means
that the present force at the Atlantic
Coast Line shops will probably be al
lowed to retain their places, and that
the only actual difference will be that
they will report to the Brunswick and
Birmingham instead of the Coast Line
as has heretofore been the case.
| Ordinarily this seems 10 be d happy
solution of the situation. for the simple
fact that IL now seems that only those
men who up to this time have been
assigned to other places will lose their
positions, and that in a general meas
ure the general organization of the
shops in this city will remain as there
| are now.
