ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
AID THE MONEY C|VERS
Sane Medium for Discussing Charity, Says the
Governor--AnnuaI Meeting Is Largely
Attended..-!Many Speeches Made

The annual meeting of the Associ-
ated Charities held yesterday afternoon
in the directors room of the Bank of
Hawaii, developed the fact that bust
ness men and nearly all relief socie-
ties of Honolulu were agreed that a
businesslike management of the distri-
button of charity, either in the form
of money or supplies, was the only
sane method in dealing with the poor
of the community.
The meeting was largely attended
and addresses by persons prominent in
benevolent and public life were of the
utmost interest. Among the speakers
! were Governor Carter, Judge Sanford
B. Dole Mrs. J. NJ. Whitney, Bishop
Restarick of the Episcopal diocese,
Father James of the Catholic Mission,
Judge William Whitney of the police
court and Mrs. E. F. Berger, covering
a wide range of subjects, all within the
scope of the work of the Associated
Charities.
The meeting showed that there was
over $500 in the treasury at the end of
the fiscal year, and that large amount
of relief had been given the poor here.
Also, that there were fewer requests
during the year than last for relief.
Governor Garter said that there was
a false idea among some that there
was too much money spent in man
agement. He stated that at once time
over s40,0 900 had been indiscriminately
given by business men and charitable
societies to almost any who asked for
money, and hardly a penny OF this
great amount was distributed properly.
Business men should feel gratified in
knowing that out of every 500, for in
$40 would be spent to put the
remaining 500 where it would do more
good than 500 unfortunately used.
Judge Dole presided, with Mrs. j. M !
Whitney as secretary. Others present I

The trustees of the German church

most successful fair, and a japanese
prince, travelling to the States, gave one
thousand dollars to the charities of the
city. These, with the usual donations
have enabled the Associated Charities
to assist the afhliating societies to care
for the poor
Fifty people have made donations OF
clothing, but the supply has not nearly
equaled the demand this year, and we
have been obliged to buy quantities of

The reading matter that comes to the
office for distribution is of the best of
the current literature, and who can
measure the good this does?
Taking up the care of a family is
always an experiment, and it is inter-
eSting to watch developments. Six
years show some results, and in some
cases good results. The main thing is
to get the whole family to work to-
gether with one. It is not only the
real assistance given that counts. but
the friendly visit and the genuine in
terest in all that pertains to the family
life. Their trials. their joys. their
work. their play, their personal appear

look not so much to the dime a child
may bring home as to the number of
days he can go to school. I see the
right sort of pride in their housekeep-
ing and personal appearance, and a
kindly desire to help those worse Off
than themselves. Many have united
with a church. and now have an inter-
est in three homes-church. school and
domestic. How infinitely better than
the narrow environment of only the one
little place that shelters them. Friendly

One day, when living in India, he described to
his father plot to murder neighbor, which he
perceived distinctly, though the plotters were
miles away. The plot was frustrated and the

the teacher with his psychic feats.
Grown to young manhood, Grier one night felt
desire to recall Maggie Hutchinson, girl he
had known in India, and distinctly saw her eating
dinner with Constantine at a New-York seaside
resort, although he, Grier, was in England. He
called in Frank Hooper, an American, the next
which he never had seen, and to the visitors
establishment translated the shriekS of a cat in
the courtyard. Upon Hooper's suggestion he
again sought to find Maggie Hutchinson, and
New York. The next evening he was mentally
transported to New-York again. He awoke with
an exclamation about the villainy of dramatic
agent named Steindal.
Karl explained that Constantine and Stenda1
in New-York decided to make Maggie Hutchin-
son an offer to go on concert tour, Constantine
evidently having an Interior motive. So intent
was Karl in listening to the plot that he aroused
in the Armenian S mind vivid remembrance of

dows stared out of irregular planes of
ripe masonry fringed with growing weeds;
and all SO perfectly planted there under
the mountain crowns, seemed rather
picture of harmonious light and shadow
mingled, than a stout and storm-defying
abode of men.
The medieval village looked down
upon its child and she looked up to it.

cigarette. Rubbishy fifteenth-century

frescos in them. I'll bet there are

minutes! I've got to be at Monte by
six O'Clock"
Giacinta Velliano descended from the
car and her grandson wrapped the furs
round her, for her hands were intensely
cold. Then she motioned him away and
tottered down to a stone and sat there
and stared over the river upward to the
village in the hills. Sixty years had
scarcely added a stain to those ancient
walls. She knew each dwelling and
those who inhabited it. Then she re-
membered that nearly all the people were
changed, and her eyes turned to seek the
graveyard. Presently she fixed them on
the houses again, and stared, and pressed
her eyelids to squeeze away the water
that threw all things out of focus. AS
still and watchful as a brown lizard on
wall she sat; then suddenly she rose
and thrust her arms out of the fur
and stretched them up toward Caste1-
Vittorio.
''Paese-earo paese mio!" she cried.
"Home-where all that was good began
and ended"
Some little children gathered round
her and Pietro beckoned them to go
away.
Then Harold Foster, who had smoked
his cigarette and seen as much as pleased
him of the old churches of Pigna, gave

New York, Sept. S0.-The details Of a
scheme whereby a prominent local
financial institution was recently VIC
timized by a clever forger have been
made public. The forger presented a
bogus check bearing the name Of a
well-known stock exchange firm and
received in return securities valued at
about $S6O,000 The name of the insti-

was later said to be the National City

LOOSE BUSINESS METHODS
Fortunes Entrusted to the Hands OF

Conditions That Rendered Possible

New York. Sept. 3O.-The freedom
with which securities representing hun
dreds of thousands of dollars and even
certified checks for large amounts are
intrusted to messenger bays was re-
ferred to by an official Of the National
City bank in discussing the disappear
ance Of the Pearl & Co. securities. The
National City bank has been loaning
fifty millions q week lately, he said, and
much Of this had been taken away by
messenger boys in the form of certified
checks. Even as he was speaking three
small messenger boys came to the loan
window put in securities and drew out
checks for loans a~ggregating $500, 900.
The National City bank officers say
they have no description of the person
who put in the check and got out the
bonds.
L. +. Slayback of the firm Of Pearl &
Co. said it was possible that the thief
might already have realized something
on part of the securities. He said: Il
don't think it possible for the thief to
have negotiated the Tobacco and the
Wabash bonds. The Tobacco bonds are
coupon bonds, and they are worth more
than 10000. If he sould negotiate
them alone he could throw the rest
away. These bonds have coupons a Y
