Election day is over,
 And the candidates are through, Some look good and happy
 And others look very blue. We sell to some of the democrats, And to the lads whose socks are
 silk, And they often come in to see us And partake of our Buttermilk, God gave us good understanding, And wit to work our brain, Which makes us ask the question, Will we vote for Bryan gain? Here's to our friends and candidates, And a toast to you and me: Success to any party,
 Who drinks Phelan's good Tea. Election day has come and gone, And let us say right here, Our ad man didn't get chance
 To vote against rum and beer. But we say right here if you want to drink the best Tea, Coffee and But iermilk in the city you'll find it at pHELAN'S T STORE 42 East Main St. Telephone

TO HOLD JOINT MEETING.
Maryland and Virginia Will Confer
as to Oyster Regulations.

Another effort is to be made to secure uni
ormity of action on the part of the states of
Maryland and Virginia regarding the
oyster regulations of the states for the
Potomac river The Maryland legislature

there has long been friction between OFF,
Gals of Maryland and Virginia over the
enforcement of the regulations for the
protection of the oyster in the Potomac
Local interest in the coming meeting Of
the legislative committees is due to the
fact that the bulk of the oyster supply OF

URGENT NEED OF AID
REPORTS MADE TO MANAGERS
OF CHARITIES.

That somewhat more than half of the
money needed for the Associated Chart
ties. Citizens Relief Assoca ton and COM
mittee on prevention of consumption has
been collected was the chief fact discussed
by the board of MANAGERS of the Asso-
ciated Charities yesterday afternoon. The
Associated Charities requires for the sea-
son SIG $50: it has received $9,60S. leaving
balance of S7171 still to be raised. The
Citizens Relief Association requires $500,
of which the sum of 81. 1913 has been con-
tributed. leaving $6071 to be solicited. For
the committee on prevention of consump-
ton 81, 92S is necessary and 81. AL has been
given: the balance of s2.496 remains to be
secured. Altogether the three charities
have still to raise by voluntary cOntribu-
tons $15, 73S.
Reports to the board of managers
showed the work of the three charities to
be unusually heavy. Lack of employment
has driven many who have never
before been dependent to seek help.
That sickness is playing even more than
its usual large part in causing distress Is
indicated by the fact that admissions to
the charity wards at the hospital are
twice numerous as last year.
AS for homeless men out of work, there
were never SO many in Washington as at
present. The municipal lodging house is
obliged to turn away large numbers for
lack of room. They are applying, 1t is
stated. at the rate of about a score daily,
to the Associated Charities. Each case
requires a careful, thorough investiga-
ton No aid is given to able-bOded men
without exacting a full return in work.
Some coal companies and wood yards are
cooperating to supply this work test
for men needing food.
Among the resident poor there are a
great many distressed families. Reports
to the board showed that the burden of
poverty is pressing heavily upon the lit
tie children in destitute homes. In their
behalf the joint finance committee is pre-
pairing a second set of personal letters OF
appeal. Justice Brewer said: Il am con-
fident that We shall secure the necessary
funds. 1t will require hard work to do
this but Washington's citizens may be
counted upon to make the sacrifices nee
essary to sustain these three essential
charities
There were present at the board meet
