The Society of United Charities, re- port of which was made in these columns sometime ago has had heavyl Yesponsibil- ities within the last few weeks, owing to the number of men out of employment, and with large families to support The prevalence of grip among many poor families has also increased the demands made upon the society.
 Tiding over these critical times con stitutes the most important part of the work done by the society. The winter season is always a trying one. as the demands upon the resources of the so- ciety are heavier than at any other time, although there is no part of the year when the society does not lend assistance.
 Receiving but small income from the city in comparison with the demands made upon the society, the members have beer1 making apersenaI appeal tp the finance committee of the City Council, hoping that no curtallment would be made in giving to the various charities Of the city, as has appeared necessary on account of the city's finances.
 The headquarters of the society are in the Mayberry building. The superintend- ent of the society. Mrs. Johnson, is at the headquarters most of the day. The society is divided Into relief committees, in order, to do it's work systematically and also to use it's resources to the best advantage.

BY ANNIE KENDRlck WALKER.

A special dispatch to The Age-Herald last night from Washington says:
 Pretty compliments flew so thick and fast this morning at the New Willard during the first meeting of the Society Of Naval Sponsors that even visitors to the meeting had to dodge. The latter were not struck. however, as Admiral Schiey and Admiral Sigsbee both aimed their precious darts straight at the heads of the fair sponsors in attendance, and every fluffy feather on every picture hat held three times as many as most girls get in their whole lives
 It was a happy occasion, this first meeting of the sponsors of American bat tleships, cruisers and torpedo boats Everybody was happy. Admiral schley said so many nice things and Admiral Sigsbee was so full of interesting sug- gestions that visitors to the meeting who have never been sponsors felt that they had missed something very fine in life
 Miss Mary Campbell of Birmingham, who first conceived the idea of naval sponsors organizing into a permanent so- ciety presided, andyher christening of the Birmingham. named for her native city, could not have been more graceful and successful than the manner in which she filled the office of chairman. She directed things so easily and gracefully that she
