WATER WORKS BIDS RECEIVEDMOHDAY Old Company Will Be Bidder and E. M. Camp field May Also Enter a Bid.

Next Monday morning bid on the water works franchise come up before the board of works. K. M. Campfleld who said the reservoir height fixed In the board's advertisement for con tracts, was so high that It would be impossible to obtain n site excepting thut or the Richmond City Waterworks reservoir, bus been Informed by the board of his mistake. Assisted by A. C. Llndemuth, attorney, Mr. Camp field Is therefore figuring on entering a bid. In case no company bids next Monday, the Richmond City Waterworks must continue to furnish the free water now contracted for. Thus It is certain the company will necessarily furnish water regardless of whether a franchise is granted or not. Under what rates the company would operate in case a new franchise is granted it is a question. The company now gets over $15,000 from the city yearly on the fire plug contract. This contract expires next year, and is the one thing by which the city now controls the situation. The city expects a better Are plug contract than has been given in the past by the company. The minimum plug rate is now $49 per plug per year. Probably another big point of contention will be the terms by which the city may gradually take over all the stock of the waterworks company. In the advertisement for bids it is stated "Said proposal to provide for the purchase of said waterworks system by said city of Richmond and state fully plans and terms under which the said purchase may be made. The new contract will be for a period of from ten to twenty-five years." After the submission of the proposal for the contract, there will probably be several weeks of careful consideration of the bid. It will then be accepted or rejected and if accepted will be prepared in ordinance form for the council. An experienced Furrier will be at our store on Friday and Saturday, this week, to make estimates on alterations and repairs. The Geo. H.

Nothing, in short, on the other side is attracting such attention and Hugh Mcintosh, the promoter, is making ready to handle a bumper crowd. Ills press agent sends us a little . guff about the affair today. It follows. "Two of the many boxing contests which have been arranged wod the coronation season, the one attracting most attention is that for the middle weight championship of the world between Jim Sullivan, the champion of England and holder of Lord Lonsdale's challenge belt, and Billy Papke, of America, U. 8. A. ' "This contest is being held under the direction of the Mr. Hugh D. Mcintosh, who hat caused much astonishment by taking over the Palladium, probably the finest and largest music hall In the world for the night of June 8. It was a Napoleonic movemeat on the part of the great AustralIan promoter, as the rent for the evening alons in 500, at least twice as much as would be asked for Madison Square Garden, New York, U. S. A. "It will be a world's championship on an enormous scale, and it is expected that the attendance wil lecllpse even that of the Lang-Langford battle and that was a record for this country. Papke and Sullivan are both training Industriously for the event and each Is confident of success." Bring your fur pieces and coats to our store on Friday or Saturday and get an estimate on alterations and repairs. Knollenberg's. 72t His Impartiality.

YEAR'S RELIEF WORK

Associated Charities Worked for the Future as Well as the Immediate Benefit of City's Dependents.

From a sociological rtandpoint, as viewed by the Richmond charity workers, the bnelts of the alms bestowed annually among the worthy poor of the city is not the only benett render- j ea, lor li me oniy prooieia was lue immediate relief of the poor, which the charity worker has to contend with, it would be comparatively easy of solution; but the greater Importance of the work lies In teaching th poor to lead better lives, by enjoying better home life, saving their money and spending it wisely, and to overcome slothful habits. The children this class of people raise are brought up in poverty and slothful habits, and they follow In their parents' footsteps, and either become dependent upon crime or charity for a livelihood. At least this is the view taken by the associated charities, and at the annual meeting Wednesday afternoon at wheh the yearly reports were made, Mrs. Joseph Beck, secretary, devoted much space to this subject. The secretary held that the success of the year's work was above estimation. Mostly Widows. ' The material success Indicated by the aid given to the Indigent, mostly widows with large families, and helpless children is pointed out. An appeal for funds is also made, so as to carry on the work for the ensuing year. The secretary referred to the expense of the work, fully reported by the treasurer, Mrs. Emma Mather as follows: Amount received $1,885.35; disbursement from April 191 to June 1911 for relief, $1,413.49; rent for office quarters $156; salary of city missionary, Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, $300; total $1,869.49, leaving a balance on hand of $15.86, June 1. Officers who will have charge of the work during the ensuing year were re-elected as follows: President, Rev. C. Huber; vice president, Mrs. G. II. Knollenberg; treasurer, Mrs. Emma Mather; secretary, Mrs. Joseph Beck; assistant secretary, Mrs. George Dougan. The report of Mrs. Beck is as follows: Secrtary's Report. "Again the time has come to review the work of the year, and to give to the public an account of monies generously entrusted to our bands to be used for the unfortunate ones, who are found in our community. "The perplexing question of other years has ever been present during the past winter. The trying ordeal of how to satisfy the great demand made upon us by the sick and destitute, when our means were inadequate, confronted us. The amount of money given for charity during the past year, did not equal that of the preceding ones consequently we have been more or less hampered In our work. 8ocial Conditions. "If we could separate each person from the social order our problem would be light, but we must consider the whole condition. "If a man could sin and suffer alone for his sin we might well say 'It serves him right,' and pass on, but the sin of the Individual necessarily affects others. "If a family could be paupers and there end we might dispose of this group. But out of this pauper element rise children who become burdens to charitable Institutions, or to be criminals that endanger the peace of the community. Work of Associated Charities. "Poverty is a soul cramping and demoralizing condition. "Our duty as a society is to search out and to strike at the root of this difficulty as a whole, and in the individual family that comes to our care. "As to the indlvldaul family it is easy enough to give clothing to the cold, food to the hungry, but it is hard to do these things In such a way that the sensitive and self respecting may not feel the sting, and on the other spirit of independence. "To deal with the problem of the poor In such a way that the burden of pauperism arid crime may be decreased is the work of the Associated Charities. Material Relief "Two kinds of service were rendered for our families; the first and simplest was to give material relief, in order to prevent suffering until investigation could be made. "It has been tho policy of this society if possible, to secure the needed relief from relatives, friends, churches or others upon whom the applicant may have a legal or moral claim. Social Service for the Family. "The second kind of service rendered for these families, is quite different In character from the first, but is of greater importance, as it has to do with the permanent betterment. "It Includes efforts made to secure employment, and to urge them to stick to their work. "To keep themselves clean. "To save money and spend wisely. "To overcome slothful habits. "To keep children in school, and above all else, endeavor to create in these helpless ones new ambition and self respect. "Without this service, the doling out of alms from week to week is likely to bring about no Improvement in conditions, but rather makes the dependant ones more dependent upon charity. Actual Work Done By Society "During the past year the work of Associated Charities has been along the same lines hs in previous years. The following will be of especial interest for it deals with actual work accomplished. "Among the people most needy, and also most worthy, have been seven old couples who were disabled by age to longer procure a living without assistance, consequently have been wards of our care to a certain extent. "Nine widows who have been making a brave struggle to help themselves and their children have from jUme to time, received a helping hand

AMONG THE POOR

when sickness or lack of work made it Impossible to get along without assistance. "The placing of helpless children into homes has been the most encouraging feature of our work. "Twelve children were adopted Into private homes. Twelve placed in private homes but cot adopted. Eleven sent to reform school. Seven to White's Institute. Three infants to Indiana Home society. "We feel that the placing of this number of children into homes where they are surrounded by Influence that cannot but have a good effect upon their lives is enough to justify the expenditure of all the money of the Associated Charities, if no other work was accomplished. The Association's Needs. "The Association has certainly labored under disadvantages because of lack of funds. Much more of this practical work could be accomplished if funds were available. "Our citizens should bear in mind that the expenses of our society are confined to the salary of the missionary and office rent, a mere pittance, when compared with the expenses of the same class of work in cities of the same size as Richmond. "The members of the board are giving their time and also money to further this work, aud is it right that we as a board, should carry the responsibility of raising the necessary funds, and that we must, appear before the public as beggars for this sum when the good accomplished must be apparent to every thinking citizen? Cannot we urge a more hearty and generous response, when the winds of another winter are upon us. Thanks "We as a board return thanks to our citizens who with their gifts of money have made it possible to carry on the work of Associated Charities, as far as was done. To the coal dealers who gave a car load of coal to be used for the poor; churches; public schools; Sunday schools and societies who gave money, provisions and dinners at the Thanksgiving and Christmas fes tivities; to the Home Telephone company, who have kindly furnished a telephone for use at the office. "Also to city papers for kindly giving notice of business meetings from month to month and publishing other reading matter that became necessary to place before the public. "We close our report with a vote of thanks to our efficient missionary who with great self-denial goes about faithoffice, ministering to the sick and suffering, and as far as possible relieving bodily needs, and speaking words of cheer and comfort to the distressed .nd pointing all to a higher and fuller life. DID HIS BEST. He Followed Instructions, Yet the Re suit Was Very Discouraging. There wns a man who kept a small draper's shop and who bad an assistant who was new to the business. One day an old lady came in and asked for some silk. The youthful assistant showed her some, saying: "We can do this for you at 0s. 6d. a yard." . The master then came forward and said: "I'm surprised at you showing this lady stuff of that quality. Take it away a'nd put it back on its shelf." Then, turning to tbe customer, be said: "You must excuse my assistant, madam he Is uew to tbe business. But If you will allow me 1 will show you sometbluR very suerior." He weut away and returned, bringing the same piece of silk. "This, madam," be said, "is a very auperioi article, 10s. Cd. a yard. If it were not for tbe fact that I bought It some time ago we should have to charge you 13 hillings, for, as you are doubtless BEXTIXQ Bill WITH HER CM BBBXL4. aware, owing to tbe recent epidemic among the silkworms the price of silk has increased enormously of late. The customer took the silk, paid for It and went away. The draper thereupon lectured his assistant, saying: "You've no commercial adaptability. Mark my words and remember what I said for next time." A few days later tbe draper was barlng his dinner, leaving his assistant at tbe counter. Hearing a noise, he looked out and saw the same old lady belting his assistant with her umbrella. He separated them' and asked the assistant what he bad been doing. "Oh," said the assistant, "I was merely carrying out your instructions. She asked for some tape, and I showed her some. I said: 'We can let you have this at eightpence the dosen yards. If It wasn't for the fact that we have had It In stock some time we should have to charge 1 shilling, for, as yon are doubtless aware, owing to the recent epidemic among the tapeworms the price of tape has gone up enormously of late. Then she hit me with her umbrella. Pearson's. . Our kerosene exports to India have increased greatly of recent years, and our fur Imports from that section have bounded upward.

I PHENOMENAL ARE THE CURES CREDITED TO SPIEGEL'S SANGVIN AND BEAVER LINIMENT. HUNDREDS OF OUR CITIZENS TESTIFY. TO REMAIN ONLY A FEW MORE DAYS. The cures that are credited to Spiegel's Remedies seems almost impossible, yet citizens of Richmond, whose conditions for years past has been known by every person in the city make their appearance on the platform and at his office in good health and testify to the merits of this great remedy Sangvin. Were It not that some of our most prominent citizens have testified as to the merits of this great discovery we could not give credit to these reports, but almost must, when persons of such prominence publicly announce their statements voluntarily. Mr. A. M. Roberts, 221 S. D "street, says I purchased a bottle of Sangvin with the feeling that I was throwing away money, for my experience in doctoring my disease, I was beginning to believe there was no cure for my stomach and kidney trouble. I used only one-quarter bottle of this great tonic and were I not able to purchase another, money could not purchase the remainder. Mrs. Adolph Houson also gives her experience with this remedy. She says I was a suffering untold misery from my kidneys, pains in the back and awful agony In my stomach. I got to the stage where if I had not got relief shortly I would have been compelled to give up my household duties. Several days ago a friend ot mine called my attention to Sangvin and I began to investigate the truth of the different testimonials that had been given by people well known to me, and found In each case they had received benefits. I concluded to try a bottle and after four days I was very surprised to find my condition take a sudden change. I can now eat a hearty meal, my food digests and I do not feel a bit of trouble with my stomach, There is no doubt as to my mind that Sangvin is the greatest and most won derful remedy in the world. ARE COMING FOR MORE. The remedies are sold by Spiegel on trial, and this may, of course, account to some extent for the strong demand in tbe early days of his visit. But at present, this ia no longer the case, for fully 50 per cent of the sales are to people who purchased the remedies on trial In the earlier part of his visit and are now coming back for more. Among those who recommend the Beaver Treatment are the following: Mr. H. I. Henry, 2004 S. A street, employed at the 5 and 10 Cent Store, stated to Phenomenal Spiegel that he has had great trouble with his feet standing on them all day, after two applications with tbe liniment soreness and pain was entirely removed. A. E. Denn, of this city. , has been deaf for the past two years, last night before the large crowd, Mr. Denn stated he used Spiegel's remedy and never could hear better in his life. Mr. Wm. Booth, working at the American Seeding Co., had a large piece of molten Iron fall upon his foot, burning It very severely. He called upon Mr. Spiegel at his office yesterday and after a treatment by this man, Mr. Booth left his office his face beaming with jAaeJ and joy to experience somtlch re lief, shook Mr. Spiegel's hand thank ing him many times. The remedies, after Phenomenal Spiegel leaves town will be sold by A. G. Luken and Co. The show will be in the same place tonight. Those desiring to see the Professor can see him at his office up to 3 o'clock p. m. Considering the good he has done here we would advise those suffering with rheumatism, backache, blood, liver, stomach, kidney, deafness, paralysis, to see him before he leaves town.
