UNEMPLOYED ARMY
FAST DECREASING
Conditions Much Improved in
New York-Savings Deposits
Outstrip Withdrawals.
New York World. J

White never i'm the history of this
city has the arm of unemployed
workers been so large as during the
last winter, as already told i'm The
World, yet a glimpse of sunshine has
broken over the hitherto sombre
labor horizon. Investigation by the
World yesterday revealed that
though the public and private chari-
ty orgainaztions are still beset hy
veritable armies of applicants for
aid, at least 100, 600 of whom are or
have been members of labor unions,
the number Is not SO great ms IL was
even n month ago.
Al big congregating places OF the
unemployed, like the Bowery Mis-
sion, the Municipal Lodging House
and the employment headquarters of
contractors the throngs of those seek
ing aid and work are not so great as
during last Christmas week.
WHAT HEBBERD SAYS.
Robert w. Hebberd, Commission
er of Charities, said To World re-
porter Yesterday;
Conditions i'm the city arc bad
for the unemployed, but they are not
so pitiable rs they have been. In
the last month there has been n grad
ual falling Off in the number of ap-
plicants for aid at the institutions
controlled by the Charities Depart
ment. For instance, the City Homes
i'm Manhattan, brooklyn and Rich
mond show n slight decrease I'm the
number of inmates over that OF mid
winter.
81 regret To say, though, that all
our homes and lodging houses are
still jammed, but not quite 80 pack
ed as they have been.
There Is one particularly pathetic
feature OF this distress that is more
noticeable this winter than ever be-
fore. This is the large nubmer of old
men and children who askrelief than
was formerly the case. The stories
of the old men are soTrowufl In the
extreme. In all eases where workers
are To be Topped Off the payroll of
factory or store the old fellows are
the firts to be dismissed-thcy drop
from the employment bough the
quickest. Asked why their children
do not support them. nearly all say
that their children have all they can
do To care for themselves. "

Agricultural Department

The management of The Fair AS
sociation have at last seen what this
paper has urged and pleaded for all
the time, namely, the importance
and absolute necessity in fact, of
an up-to-date agricultural exhibit at
our Fairs. A county Fair without the
county is farce and a failure so far
as the real objects of the Fair is con-
cerned. And, in reality, this is just
what we have had, for the most part,
for years, with the exception of few
fowls, and some live stock the great
agricultural interests of the county
has been neglected. Without the
farmer the very back bone is left out
and body without a back bone is
mighty weak" Now, we want
the backbone this next Fair, and to
this end the executive committee are
determined, if possible, TO aW aiken a
new interest in this great depart
ment, and give the farmer an oppor-
tunity TO show what he can do, and
at the same time, offer him some in
ducement TO do his best.
Without the editors know ledge or
request he was appointed superinten-
dant OF this department, by the ex-
ecutive committee at its last meet
ing. The editor can conceive of only
one good reason why he was selected
for this place, namely, it is known
here that he is always, from year to
year deeply interested in every thing
pertaining to gardening and farming,
and loves the farm and garden above
all other Vocations. He is going to dc
his best to arouse interest in the agri
cultural exhibit at our Fair this fall.
The executive committee will go its
full length in giving encouragement
in the way of premiums-a goo(
place for the exhibits, etc.
Premiums will be offered for th
best OF almost everything grown OIL
the farm and in the garden.
Commence now to get everything
in good shape TO grow some priz,
corn, vegetables, grass, etc. Max
something for the Fair this fall. 1
definite statement Of articles wanted
premiums, etc., will be publishe
later. The editor, as superintendent
OF this department, asks and expect
the farmers of the county to take a
interest in this matter.

She was married Dec. %, 1857, to
John IL. Woods, of Montgomery
county, Virginia. To this union was
born i3 children, all of whom are
living, but two.
Thinking that the west offered bet
ter opportunities and that they could
give better advantages To their child
ren, in 1884. they left Tazcwell coun-
" and moved To Utica Livingston

of years i'm that section, they moved

IL seemed fitting that one 80 tired
