NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
SAN FRANCISCO CHARITY.

The government of charities in
great cities has been a perpleXing
problem There are not many men
who would not be glad to be rid of
the opportunities of begging, and yet
there are few men who could or who
would turn down applications Of real
merit Personal investigation of ap-
plications has become an impossibility,
except in the case of a few men who
are out of business and have their
own time in which to indulge their
pencnant for giving help. The busy
men have come more and more to de-
pend upon organized societies. But
even here their guide is not a safe
one, since the freedom of the field
leads to the organization of a great
many fake charities which are COM
posed of persons who are bleeding the
generous public of fat living in the
name of a sacred cause. The springs
of what should prove an assistance to
the charitably inclined are thus pois-
oned and giving becomes worse tnan
refusal.
But out Of the confusion in which
charity has been involved in cities
order is coming One of the most in
teresting experiments in regulation is
reported from San Francisco. 1t orig
mated with the Merchants association
The merchants of San Francisco had
suffered as those Of other cities are
still suffering from the raids of fake
charity societies. A plan for a clear
ing house committee on the subject of
charities was suggested by the di-
rectors of the association. Circulars
were addressed to 500 members, 4Ss
of whom returned answers saying they
would gladly subscribe to the plan
and give aid to no charities except
those which brought credentials from
the central committee. Charitable
societies were invited to send in their
dorsement by the committee.
The idea was that it would thus be
possible to weed out the fraudulent
societies and it was, but in a way
quite unexpected to the committee. TIC
the members surprise, nearly every
fake charity in the city sent in it
name. Some of the frauds evidently
believed that the examination was a
matter of form; others organized by
persons as ignorant as those they
preyed upon, made up credentials
which showed a singular conception
of the sort of work they are doing.
The solicitor for the United Christian
church answered when asked the size
OF his congregation, Me and a Chi
naman." This church mad raised
money all over the country. Another
society sent in it's credentials in writ
ing. 1t announced: This society is for
men, women and cruelty to children"
which it undoubtedly was
] The Endorsement committees work
was first seen in the withdrawal from
San Francisco of large number of
the grating charities. 1t was next
noticed in the fact that the unin-
dorsed charities speedily lost finan-
cial support. The Endorsement COM
mittee has been fiercely assailed by all
those who have had their graft inter-
fered with and it has required moral
courage for merchant to be known
- member of it. But it has done
"oGd work. 1t is the universal testi-
'nony that never were the deserving

Without doubt the timber and
stone act will be repealed at this ses-
sion Of Congress. A determined Ell
fort was made last year to repeal this
law, and bill to that effect passed
the Senate but 1t was defeated in the
House. The land frauds ia Oregon
aud other western States seem To
have convinced the members OF both
houses Of Congress that IL the timber
and stone act is repealed, the land
frauds will be put an end to. The
timber and stone act is believed by
fr,.l t., I,o In,
cause Of frauds, aud this was urged
against repeal Of the measure last
year, but the recent startling dis
covery OF fraCds In several OF the
States has knocked the bottom out OF
this argument, and it is 0nlya qups-
ti0n of short time until the Law
will be repealed.

First district, declaring he erred i4
granting d trial Ia the case OF ] Paul
Peter VS.. Martin Kalase and wife
from Kootcnal county. It wasa suit
in equity for a decree capceling Z

upon the technical ground that the
stenographer for the attorneys had no
legal authority to accept service OF
motion to dismiss the appeal, Tte
court holds that as attorneys actually
received notice, the stenOgraphcr's
legal authority was immaterial.

ADVERTISE.

The Advertising columns
of the local paper, says an cx-
change, are a good criterion
to Judge a town by and every
business an d professional
man in the town should have
an advertisement in the home
paper if it is nothing greater
than a two inch card. In adj
dition to the benefit it does
the advertiser in bringing his
business to the attention Of
the public it is a slight token
of his appreciation ofthc ben
eft that a we'll conducted and
enterprising newspaper is te
a town. eB Further, it is {
notice to the world at large
that his particular line of bus
mess is represented in tht
place by an enterprising mai
and gives those seeking loca-
tons a good opinion of th'
business men represented.
