MANY FAMILIES
ARE In DISTRESS
"Dime Day. Movement Of
Associated Charities Meets
With success

AT the home Of the Associated chari-
ties, Sixth and West streets, to-day
are being received the donations as the
result Of the Dime Day" movement,
which was instituted by the assocfa-
ton i norder that all might add their
contribution, be ii ever so small, to
the fund for assisting the worthy poor
of the city.
One week ago yesterday addressed
envelopes were sent to the various
public schools In the city as well as
to places Of business with the request
that all Of those who could contribute
to the fund for the needy should do
so, and either bring their envelopes to
the headquarters of the association or
mail them.
The result was that the school chill
|dren took unusual interest in the
movement, and many of them worked
hard in the cause. Merchants also
called attention Of customers to the
worthy cause and the result has been
particularly gratifying, although all
contributions beyond those Of Dime
Day will be gratefully received by the
management Of the association.
Yesterday was the last day for the
dime contributions. and up TO last
night $3.50 had been contributed with
a number Of envelopes yet to be heard
from.
Mrs. M. A. T. Clark. superintendent
Of the Associated Charities stated this
morning that never since the panic Of
1898 had there been so many appeals
for old fro mthe deserving poor Of the
city, from persons who were willing to
work If they could find employment.
"Of course" said Mrs. Clark, there
are a number Of persons in the city
who are constant beggars. and would
prefer to beg rather than to work.
This class, however, is generally
known to the society, and we are
careful to whom we give assistance"

covered satisfactorily from the anas-
thetic his weakness is also q count
against him as is the fact that his
health has been much broken by years

menting with the violet ray has at
tracted the keenest interest Of the

to relieve the peculiar humps which
have appeared on his chest and stom-
ach and which ncne Of his medical ad-
visors have yet been able to cure or

peatedly tried to restore his eyes, fresh
attempt will be made in the light Of
studies. specialists have been made of
his case at the hospital His deafness
which is Of many years standing is be-
lieved, however, to be beyond cure. In
