PRACTICAL CHARITY.
Annual Report of the st. Vincent de
Paul Society.

That q great amount of organized chari-
table work is done in the District OF Co.
lumbia in very quiet way, but with ex-
cellent results, is shown by the report of
the Particular Council of the Society of
st. Vincent de Paul of this city for the
year ending December 81, 1905 which has
Just been published. The total amount
collected by the society was $4,000 40,
and there was disbursed the sum of So
092.97. 1t is pointed out that the collec-
ton and distribution of these large
amounts was made almost entirely with
out expense. there being no salaries to
any of the members, except the chaplain.

city.
The society is composed of members of
the Catholic churches, who devote their
time free OF charge to the consideration
of cases brought before them and the dis
tribution of relief to worthy objects of
charity. There are 2G6 active members
and the statistical and special reports
show earnest and jealous work in relief
of temporary necessity and in the up
building of persons and families relieved

and useful citizens. Assistance was rem
dered to 615 families, comprising 1878
persons, and 3,432 visits were made by

TRYING TO SAVE A WOMAN.
Sentenced to Be Hanged for Murder
of Her Husband.

KANSAS CITY, June 1S.-The movement
to save Mrs. Agnes Myers from the gall
lows is growing In force. She has been SEN
fenced to be executed at Liberty. Mo-. near
here, on June %, for the murder Of her
husband. Clarence Myers, on the same date
that Frank Hoffman. her companion in the
crime, is to be hanged at Kansas City. No
effort is being made to prevent the hanging
Of Hoffman, although many letters are be-
ing sent to Gov. Folk urging him to COM
mute Mrs Myers sentence to life impris-
onment. A bother of Clarence Myers. how
ever, has sent the governor letter ex-
pressing the belief that his sister-in-law is
as guilty as Hoffman, and if Hoffman is
hanged the woman also should pay the ex-
IRENE penalty.

END OF THE RAINBOW
DISTINCTLY SEEN YESTERDAY
QUEST EoR POT or GOLD.

There Is pot Of gold buried beneath a
spot on the Virginia bank OF the Potomac
river little more than mile above

story Of the rainbow II q false and ma
licious fabrication. intended only to give
the creduious a long and fruitiess search for

son who invented the falsehood. II indeed

that no one would ever be able to And the

secure from fatal exposure to the public
wrath. And these many many centuries
his assertion has never been disproved be-
'cause-no one ever saw the end OF q rain
bow, the spot where 1t touched the earth.
Or IL any one ever saw It. no one ever said
SO the old fable lives on
But perhaps all Of these hard words
against the story and It's author are wrong;
Perhaps there is q pot OF gokd at the emu
OF every rainbow.
whether there is or there is not. tho time
has arrived to settle the question.
Washington has perhaps never seen a
more perfect. more brilliant rainbow than
that which gracefully arched the sky yes
terday afternoon. Hundreds OF persons
were out on the river in canoes, row boats
and motor boats before the rain ana they
all, or nearly all, got soaking wet. And
they felt very badly about H-for time.
The sun began to peep through the clouds
before long, however and then the rainbow
materialized in the direction of the city.
From a point about a mile and haif
above Georgetown 1t could be seen rising In
a great. beautiful arc from behind the big
reservoir above Georgetown and curving
majestically through the heavens against
the darkness of the disappearing storm.
Grew More Brilliant.
It grew more brilliant as the eye followed
the arc to the south. and then, wonderful
to behold, the colors forming the great arch
were plainly to be seen over the green
trees on the high river bank. Down, down,
down went the eye and there on the shore
at the very edge of the water the rainbow
stopped There was the place 1t touched
the earth.
Scores of drenched members of boating
parties saw 1t and marveled. The exact
persons wished they had picks and shovels
to dig for the gold they had been told
they would find there. But there were no
picks and shovels and they could not dig
in the hard and stony earth with their
hands; SO each resolved to go home and
return later.
After digging has progressed today and
every effort has been made to get the gold,
II 1t has not been found, a time-honored
belief will be gone and children will no
longer listen to a pleasant and romantic
story. Their maginations will no longer be
stirred and their adventuresome spirits
shed tear of sorrow for the poor, old,
dead belief.
STILL the gold may be found although Il
has not vet been located

lively short period 1t appears, according

ance of showers or thunderstorms tonight

The downpour caused much inconvenience
to residents in the vicinity Of Brightwood
especially those engaged in the milk and
to drive to market today. Large wash
outs in the road bed along the 14th street
pike were noticeably impeding travel In
many places. The superintendent of pub
lie roads has large force of men and
teams working today in the vicinity OF the
Brightwood Driving Park filling in a wash
out in the road In that immediate vicinity.
The hail. 1t is said, caused much damage
to garden products. In one home In the
rear OF the Brightwood Driving Club the
hail storm killed more than fifty young
chickens. Many others were drowned.
