Associated Charities.
m the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Charitable work will receive a great i'm
petus in Richmond by completing the pro-
posed plan for associating all charities I'M
der one management. What Richmond has
lacked heretofore has not been enough
charitable citizens. but enough system to
reach the deserving and Illustrate impos-
tors. These deficiencies will be largely
remedied, If not entirely removed, by the
new organization. The first and most strik-
ing innovation OF the Associated Charities
plan will be the full interchange of infor-
nation and advice between all members OF
the organization. This interchange will en-
able the central Office to tabuiate and trace
all regular and occasional recipients OF
charity from any source, and thereby the
possibility Of long-continued imposture will
be practically eliminated.

The Problem of the Unfit.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

England is following our example in re-
spect Of narrowing her gates to the fmmi-
grant. She has deported several undesira-
BILE strangers who have sought to take resi-
dencs in London-for In England as here,
the weak. the sickly. the criminal and the
pauperzed refuse to bulge from the cities
and we may be sure that the new law,
which forbids the Importation of these I'M
pleasant persons, will be enforced with a
promptness and impartiality such as we,
under a vote-currying government, know
nothing about.

nanv people, some Of whom spend
months and years in no other home,
and the novelty Of it will doubtless ap-
peal to thousands who will visit the
exposition To be away from the
bustling throng after day has been
spent in seeing the sights the exposl-
ton will offer, will be relief to the
BODY and mind, and no more delightful
resort could be found for this rest than
a comfortable houseboat on peaceful
waters.
In San Francisco Bay, on the Pacific
coast, hundreds OF families spend their
summers in Households and many utll-
ize this mode of dwelling all the year
around
On the Indian River, in Florida,
there are permanent colonies OF house
boats and in England, housekeeping is
one OF the most popular recreatlons.
The International Rowing Regattas
which are held annually on the Thames
river, are always witnessed by thou
sands Of people from the tops Of lux
urious households.
In Canton, China, it is said that
100000 inhabitants make their per-
manent homes in Households. In
many parts of Europe this mode Of
living is growing in favor.
Living in Households is not confined
to any class, but is open alike to the
poor and rich Some Of the boats are
built at a cost of from $500 to $1,000
and represent the modest home, COM
fortably but simply furnished, while
others represent an outlay Of $500, 900
and are luxuriously equipped.
Households Of every kind will make
up the floating colony at the James
town Exposition, and will present
novel and interesting sight to the visit
ors there Particularly those who come
from inland cities.

Floating Homes.


We think our readers will enjoy the
following article taken from the
Metropolis, describing the floating
hotels and houses, a new feature in
our home life. The article says:
Floating homes will constitute an
agreeable feature Of the Jamestown Ex-
position to be held at Sewel1's Point
on the shores of historic Hampton
Roads, near Norfolk, Va, from April
26th until November 80, 1907.
The many inlets that indent the
shores near the Exposition site on the
south and east, afford a splendid haven
for households and it is now certain
that large colony Of this kind OF
craft will be anchored within sight and
easy reach Of the grounds.
Some Of the water homes are now
in the course Of construction in Will
loughby Bay, which separates Sewell's
Point from Ocean View and Others
already completed are lying at anchor
in the harbor A great number Of
these are the commonplace households,
and will be used at the exposition as
boarding places. Many, however, will
be palatial and will be occupied ex-
clusively by their owners and their
families
At no former exposition held in the
United States has the colony Of house
boats been as extensive and costly as
that which will form striking feature
at the Jamestown Ter-Centennial
At no place in the world are condi-
tons better suited for life in house
boats than the inner harbor Of Hamp-
ton Roads. The waters of historic
Tanners Creek, protected on the south
by stretch of stately pine trees and
on the east by the sand hills of Ocean
View; Boush's Creek, lying snugly be-
tween Willoughby Spit and the expo
sition grounds, and little Willoughby
Bay, an arm of Hampton Roads, af-
fords a sheltered anchorage for all
kinds Of small vessels that cannot be
surpassed.
This fact has attracted the attention
of owners of households all along the
Atlantic Coast, from Maine to Florida,
and it is already an assured fact that
some of the most magnificent floating
homes that have ever been constructed
will be in the colony at the exposition
Inquiries have been reviewed at the
exposition Offices from points in
Massachusetts,, New York and South
Carolina, which indicate that house
boats will attend the Ter-Centennia1
from all these states and promises have
been made that the representation from
other sections will be large.
Life in houseboat is attractive to

carloads will go east this winter.
There is no trouble at all in finding

takes the lead wherever it has become
we'll known. The crop of South Cali
fornia will be about 500 cars greater
than ever before grown, and the culture
is extending where soil and climate are

CAME NEAR RIOT.

Jim Evans Had to Flee to Montgomery
 to Escape Negroes.
 Jim Evans, the young Hsynevilie ne gro. who shot Clif Cantelou. also a negro, Saturday afternoon on the Wire Road, was still being held at police station last night pending develop ments in the condition of the wounded negro, who is said to be seriously in jured. He is held on charge of sus- picion.
 The difficulty out of which the shoot ing grew occurred about five miles from Montgomery on the Wire Road From reports received at the police station the row came very nearly ending in a riot.
 A, white man. whose name is given at O'Donnell. was engaged with Evans in driving a herd of cattle from Hayne- vile to Montgomery. They had reach ed a point about five miles from the city when they met several negroes in a wagon going in the opposite di- rection. The negroes, it is said. were drinking, and after driving through and separating the cattle. one of them got out of the wagon and was trying to fell Evans and the white man with a large piece of iron coupling. when Evans jerked out his revolver, fired twice. thinking that he might frighten off his assailant, and then fired two eff fective shots. one taking effect in the hand and the other in the thigh. The other negroes were infuriated and they, as we'll as other negroes in the neighborhood, secured weapons. while Evans and O'Donnell had to flee to the city for their lives. The cattle scat tered in every direction
 Evans was arrested on Bell Street early last night by Bicycle Patrolmen Cantey and Williamson.

WILL CONCLUDEDEAL
gYATE FAIR PROMOTERS NOW
 READY TO INCORPORATE.
Articles of Incorporation of the Ala bama Agricultural AssOcfatf0n Are to Be Formally Filed
 This Week.

The Alabama Agricultural Assocla- tion. which was formed several weeks ago. for the purpose of holding state Fairs in Montgomery, will, 1t is ex- pected be formally incorporated the early part of this week. Before that time. barring obstacles which are nov unforeseen, arrangements will nave been completed for the purchase Of the site for the Fair grounds. and the amount of subscribed stock necessary oefore the papers of incorporation can be fl- ed. will have passed the mark Of $5o,ooe which is required.
 Although. legally. the Association is not yet a body authorized to carry on the State Fair. the enthusiasm shown by the people of Montgomery in this movement has been so strong, that pre- parations have been steadily proceeded with for the big event which is to De held in this city. October 22 to 27 in- elusive without waiting for the official sanction. When the corporation papers are filed, however. all the legal re- quirements will have been complied with, and the organization will be oHi- cially recorded as existing, condition which has been a fact since the de- cisive meeting of the promoters of the movement three weeks ago.
 The date of incorporation has been hastened few days by the action or the Board of Directors on Friday af- ternoon last, in deciding upon the property of B. L. Holt. three miles northeast of the city. for the Fair grounds. Previous to that time, there still remained a trifle over two thou sand dollars necessary to be subscrib- cd before the paid in capital should reach $50,000, the amount prescribed in the article of incorporation of the Association. When the purchase Is con summated, however, $7,500 of the pur- chase price is to be given to Colonel Holt in stock of the Association. This amount will raise the subscribed stock to somewhere in the neighborheod of s55,0o0, high above the necessary emonnt. s
 That the purchase will be effected within day or two is regarded by the members of the Board as a certainty. Two provisos. calling for the building of two roads from the Lower and Up- per Wetumpka Roads respectively to the Fair ground entrances, were in- serted in the motion to accept Colonel uolt's offer. and it is expected that the present owner will agree to fulfill these conditions without question.
 A conference between President W. F. vandiver and the committee and Colonel Holt. will be held tomorrow or the next day. When the conference is held, it is understood that Colonel Holt will offer no opposition to accept ing the two provisos, and that the deal for the purchase of the Holt property xyiIl than ha concluded
