Nature Of Work Performed and Need
of Funds.

An example of the current work Of the
Associated Charities is related by Secretary
Charles F. Weller in emphasizing the pres
ent need for funds and the fact that the
work of the society will be greatly Inn
paired unless about $1,000 can be secured
this month.
A ragged man was referred to the office
December "a, nearly desperate for some
thing to do" work was contrived instantly
and the man earned new shoes to keep his
bare feet of the winter pavements. The
next day was Christmas and man agent
invited the tramp to spend the holiday al
the agents home. Won by personal Fellow
ship through Christmas day. the wanderer
at last told his real name and story. Long,
continued overwork and the death OF his
wife and baby had caused a sudden nervous
breakdown three months before and the
man disappeared from home and employ
ment. For months he wandered as needy
tramp, often hungry and shelteriess,
through several cities, not appearing to be
irrational but without mental power to
master his situation and with no access 10
an intelligent friend who might understand
his plight. The agent, experienced in SUCH
cases of mental lapses, Strengthened out
the story. learned the relatives names,
wrote them, Eeceived $50 by return mail
and persuaded the man to go back. assured
that he had been nervously sick and not
blamable for leaving home.

RosENrHAL's RECITAL.
A Big House and Great Enthusiasm
at the National Theater.

A crowded house greeted Moriz Rosen-
thai, the pianist, at his third and last ap-
pearance here this season at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon, and the audi
ence was reused to a degree of enthusiasm
at his mastery work that is seldom wit
messed and certainly has not been equaled
this season His program contained some
unfamiliar numbers and some that were
well known, but they were all played with
that perfection of technique, that mastery
Interpretation and that absorbing of. the
spirit of the composer that stamps Rosen-
thai as in the very front rank OF panists
now before the public. That he has man
nerisms 1t is true, such as the high raising
of his hands before climax, but he does
his work honestly and truly and his DIS
most rapid runs and trills, is something
that is rarely heard. Some might criticfse
his rapidity of tempo as the last phrase or
the Chopin Sonata, but he evidently desired
to mark sharp contrast between that ana
the previous somber funeral march. In
fact, take him all in all, he is the most sat
isfying pianist that can be called to mind,
and that his popularity in this city is great
is attested by the size and enthusiasm OF
his audience whenever he appears. Ills
full program yesterday was as follows:
l. Sonata. Op. 80, As-dur, Weber. 2 (a)
La Tendre Nannette, Couperin; OBJ Vivace,
Scarlatti; (c) variations on a theme of
Paganina, OPP. 80, J. Brahms. 3. (a) Sonata
in B fiat minor, OPP. 35, Chopin; o. Trois
preludes, Chopin; (c) waltz, fiat, OPP. AZ,
Chopin. f. (a) Lindenbaum, Schubert,
List; OBJ Blue Danube Fantasia, Strauss,

man, Mr.. Henderson applied to the courts
for an injunction against Leach prohibiting
the sale, and asking that the deed to the
