A Brc rcpicsentalivo visited the supply

Several more Instances of the Incon

About this tlmo tlio AssOcntcd charities

the proceedings with Interest , and when I
was evident that the unfortunate family waste
to have their last goods supplanted by n now
lot from the hand of ohailty , un old coloret
man among the spectators In the alley
pushed his spectacles back over his forehead
clapped his hands together nnd shouted joy
fully , "Brcss do good Ixiwdt"
In the meantime the family , including the
mother , her diughters , and a con
siimptlvo-strlckcn son , watched the work
with awe from a coiner of the front room
They then proceeded to weep "on the Install
tnoiit plan " The Hist time they crici

A number of other cases of this characler
have occurred in this cltj during the past
two months
In older to guild against mtsplacod aim-
path } ' and duplicate assistance , the cllizcns
iclicf committee has decided to concentrate ,
as much as possible , all appeals for aid. Tlio
Associated Charities will investigate and
cndoise each icquisition and tlio committee
will then ( llabm.se the desired relief.
It is evident from tlio icsults of Investiga
tions that the prime cause of the man } cases
of destitution is the same which has aflllctod
over } metropolitan center of the United
States , namely , the af tot math of the
timidity of capital caused b > the national
depression last aummer. The hard times
have ocen couched In poll to vernacular
as "flntiiichil depression , " "commer-
ciil prostration" and "monetary decrepi
tude , " but the poor of Omaha this
winter aio abbiovlating It and callIng -
Ing It "famine , " plain and simple , without
any embellishments , 'three-fourths of the
present destitute wore found to bo men
whose names have adorned the pay rolls of
honest labor. The slo of their families ,
with a dash of sickness in many instances ,
precluded many of them from s iving money
for the omeigenev which now stares Ihem
In the face bomo , however , maiiaired to
put aside a few dollais , but continued idle
ness ami the diain for lent , coal and biead
soon absoibed the smplus. Tlio next was a
sttugglo between privation and pride. In
many cases the latter conquered and their
condition discovered by a house to house
canvass.
An investigation disclosed tlio fact that
the sufTcring was not confined to hovels.
I'lieio are many poor women cring with
povcit } behind lace cui tains and actually
stinting themselves in food in older to meet
their icnls. Tliis class consists of widows
or indigent pcoplo who rent f mulshed i oems
nnd have a luud snuggle to make expense *
It was nscei tamed that icnls
are high , there bolntr but a slight
icduction m some instances ovcrpiovious
years. The lesult is that piices for fui-
nlshctl rooms are maintained nt a stiff figure
in order to taeot the routs. Cottagoienls
arc also lather high for the present times.
It was found that notwithstanding1 the fact
that wages have boon reduced in many jn-
dusttial plants the pi lee of fuel nnd
commodities ( except Hour ) has not de
creased to meet the cut. The cost of living
is practically the same as usual for a wage
earner on n retrenched income. This Dre-
ciudes any possibility of saving money for a
ialny day , or more apptopilately , a snow
stoim , and the icsult Is that If many of
thcsu men losn their positions they will join
the ranks of the destituto. Lower
louls nnd cheaper fuel is , theiofoie ,
earnestly hoped for by these people.
Meeting ot I.otlof Commltooe.
The citizens relief committee mot at the
Commercial club at 'J p. m. today to hear the
reports of thovaiious soliciting committees
appointed last Thursday , and to commence
the distribution of funus among the needy
poor at once.
At the meeting of the citizens relief com
mittee yosloiday it was decided to add Dr.
Ceorgo L Millar , W. A. TJ Gibbon , Thomas
ICilpatrick and Dr. Durjon to tlio com
mittee. The soliciting committees 10-
ported $3,2-15 lecoivcd up to data in
cash subscriptions. A icsolutiou was
pissed inviting all chailtablo associa
tions and relief societies , pastors and
citizens gcnoially who know of cases of iles-
lllullon which deserved relief to icpoit the
same at ouco to the Associated Chaiitles
The citizens loliof committee will honor all
such icqulslilons promptly.
Ma\or Bemis made an addiess , in which
he haul that there was now an excellent op
portunity for some Omaha mllllonalio to
have his name go thundering down the ages
alongside the names of George W , Childsnud
Lcland Stanford , by drawing a check for
5,000 to loliovo the distress. Ho also hoped
that the rich propeity owners of Omaha
would provide employment for some of tlio
idle men and thus give the latter an oppoi-
tuulty not to bo objects of charity. W. H.
Hobcison was olcctcd assistant seeietary of
tlio committee. The soliciting committees
were authorized to continue their v\oik of
raising funds In the meantime the money
now laiscd will bo disbuiscd for the immedi
ate loliof of these who need it. The general
committee will meet again next Satin day.
The police found ilfty-sovcn destitute fam
ilies yesterday and have icported the names
and nduiesscs to the chief.
