FUNDS GETTING LOW
AID ASSOCIATIONS MAKE APPEAL
FOR MONEY.
Secretary Weller States That Requests
for Assistance This Winter
Have Been Many.

Because of the unusual amount of sick
ness and the continuance of the severity
of the weather the funds of the Central
Relief Association are about exhausted, and
unless we are able to raise at least $500
within the next few days our work will
be much impeded and much suffering will
follow.
will those of our friends who have not
contributed to the poor this year come to
our assistance now and send something to
Mr.. Beriah Wilkins, treasurer, office Of
the Washington Post?" The names sub
scribed to the foregoing are those of Gen.
George NJ. Sterhberg, chairman Citizens
Relief Association; Mr.. B. r. Janney, chair
man board of Associated Charities; Mr.
James f. Fitch chairman finance commit
tee Citizens Relief Associations; Mr.. Archi-
bald Hopkins, chairman finance commit
tee, Associated Charities. and Mr.. S. w.
Woodward. president board of charities.
Mr.. Charles F. Weller, secretary to the
board of Associated Charities, said this
morning that the requests for assistance
made to the charitable organizations this
winter have been much more numerous
than i'll previous years. Seldom have so
many Workingmen of good. respectabl
habits and station been in such unfortu-
nate circumstances in the city. These are
laborerS who heretofore have been able to
support themselves and families without
assistance from charitable institutions, but
on account of the prolonged cold weather
and snow have been unable to obtain en-
ployment. and their small savings have
been exhausted. It is difficult to obtain en-
ployment now, as building has been great
ly lnterfered with and many laborers who
otherwise would be able to work are now
prevented from earning anything at ALL
Another cause. says Mr.. Weller. is the
prevalence of disease, accentuated by the
severe weather.
Pneumonia Among the Poor
There is a great deal of pneumonia noted
among the poor families of the District
and other sickness in proportion. Many in
stances of extreme poverty and suffering
have been brought to the attention of the
several organizations, and every effort Is
being made to alleviate the distress A
great many families wait until absolutely
destitute before applying for aid and of
course the conditions under which they
have lived during the period of their lack
of food. fuel and clothing causes sickness
to be more serious
The Citizens Relief Association uses
funds wholly for supplying the wants of
those in immediate distress, and distributes
food and fuel principally. During the past
three months $500 have been expended,
and the treasury is very low. The need for
public contributions does not cease with
the coming OF warm weather. for there are
always four conditions to contend with
among the poor, namely, sickness, old age,
accident and widowhood. These are always
with us, and the needs produced py them
must be supplied.
Mr.. Weller said 1t was imperative that
contributions be made at once to lessen
the suffering which now exists, and which
will continue for some time.

ANNUAL DONATION DAY.
Contributions Received for Young Wo
mems Christian Home.

mems C0T1SC1au aOuS.
Yesterday was the annual donation day"
for the benefit of the Young Women's Chris
tian Home, located at 81 street north
west, and the donations from the general
public greatly exceeded those Of any pre-
vious year In the history of the institution.
The great pile Of bundles will not be opened
until this evening or tomorrow, when the
public will be given a complete list of the
articles contributed.
The founding of this home dates from the
1st of October. 1887, the present building
being occupied in 1880. The institution has
been growing and the present accommeda-
tiOns are inadequate to meet the increased
requests for rooms. there being apartments
for about thirty-ive girls at present.
The object of the home is to provide a
comfortable home for girls who are strang-
ers in the city while they are obtaining
employment, and while it is not proposed
to provide permanent residence at the
building, yet a girl may remain until she
has secured position with salary sufficient
to provide comfortably for her needs.

A Drunken Prisoners Excuse Ia -
New York Police Court.

Drunken Prisoners Excuse Ia u
New York Police Court.
1t is Characteristic of almost all the
prisoners except the drunks that their
chief concern is to secure a delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that although, through their inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausi-
BILE explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave of
the impending catastrophe. The
drunks, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbiter Of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than fine
is likely to befall them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served off. And then there
is the chance, if the magistrate is in
good humor, that they may get away
unscathed at once.
AS a rule, although not seldom still
in their cups, they are loath to make
any discriminating admissions. mo,
sir" protested a man who kept himself
from falling over by holding on nerv-
ously to the bar; "I'm not drunk,
cause no ones drunk who's not falling
all over himself" Excuses of the most
wonderful kind, some of them really
ingenious, others merely ridiculous, are
put forward when the futility Of feign-
ing innocence has been discovered. The
cleverest explanation of that kind that
l ever heard was advanced by a man
who, when taxed with having dis
played unmistakable signs of intoxica-
tion, simply replied that he was a
painter by trade.
"That has nothing to do with your
condition." said the magistrate.
"Of course it has" rejoined the pris-
oner. Il was painting a barber pole
and kept on twisting after the stripes
