ASSOCIATION FOR ORGANISING
CHARITABLE RELIEF AND REPRESSING
MENDICITY.
Office — 115 Bath Street.
His Grace the Duke of Argyll, patron ; His Grace
the Duke of Montrose, president; J. Carfrae
Alston, Esq., chairman ; Alex. A. Fergusson, Esq.,
Robert Gow, Esq., vice-chairmen ; Robert Gourlay,
•Esq., hon, treasurer ; Mr. J. T. Strang, secretary and
treasurer.
The general objects of this association are to in-
vestigate thoroughly the cases of all poor persons in
the city who may be brought under its notice, with a
view to forwarding them to the proper quarter for
relief; to bring existing charities into co-operation
with one another and with the Poor-law authorities ;
to repress mendicity ; and by these agencies, and the
granting of loans in necessitous cases, to improve the
condition of the poor.
A labour yard has been opened for the purpose of
enabling the society to distinguish between the loafer
and the man willing to work, while at the same time
it serves as an efficient means of assisting able-bodied
men by providing them with temporary employment.
The Society recently opened an Industrial Shelter
at 60 Kyle street. Port Dundas, where food and
lodging will be provided to homeless able-bodied men,
on condition that they do a certain amount of work.
The Society has initiated a scheme for providing
healthy, necessitous children with boots and clothing
during the winter months, under the safeguard of the
police and the co-operation of the pawnbrokers.
Contributions towards the funds of the Society are
urgently required, and should be sent to the Treasurer
at 115 Bath Street.
The society also serves as a central agency for the
purpose of receiving the contributions of the public
towards bona fide charitable institutions. These
contributions may be sent to the society monthly,
quarterly, half-yearly or yearly, or at whatever time
it may be most convenient.
In connection with this society a ladies' auxiliary
has been established for the purpose of aiding the
society by personal visitation of the poor, and also by
providing temporary employment in the way of sew-
ing for poor women, who have been proved to be
deserving and necessitous. Work-Room, 11 Maitland
Street, Cowcaddens ; superintendent, Miss Begg ;

MAXWELL AND HUTCHESON CHARITABLE
TRUST.
Founded in 1877, under the will of Miss Ann

of Maxwell or Hutcheson, and husbands or wives of,
or descendants of, these names, and for education of
their children. The Trustees in Glasgow are: —
Hugh Brown, merchant, Jas. Graham, LL.D., writer,
R. Hope Robertson, C.A., J. H. N. Graham, merchant,
and Graham Hutchison, of Balmaghie, Castle Douglas ;

THE GOLDEN EAGLE FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
(Registered under Act of Parliament.)
Office, 40 Union Street, Glasgow.
Trustees — John Ure, Esq., D.L. (ex-Lord Provost
of Glasgow) ; Bailie Blorris Carswell, Murcia, Pollok-
shields; and Rev. Thos. Somerville, M.A., 11 Wester
Craigs, Dennistoun.
The following are the objects which the society
has in view : — To provide a marriage portion for
young men and women by a weekly payment of any
sum from one penny upwards. To provide an income
during sickness for a small premium, with medical
attendance .and medicine free. To provide continuous
endowments during life. To provide a pension in
old age, and a sum payable at death. There is no
trouble in getting these pensions — only to purchase
the pension tickets. There is no lapsing — each
payment stands good of itself. Children can pur-
chase a pension for their parents, and if the parents
don't live to need it, then they get it themselves, or
leave it after them to their children, who may increase
it if they like, so that the money is never lost.
The following are auxiliarj' to the Society: —
To provide good homes where girls may be boarded
at the cheapest possible rate. To provide similar
homes for young men. To provide a home during
sickness, where members may receive every care as a
right, and not as a charity. To provide convalescent
homes at the coast. To provide homes at the coast
where members may spend their holidays at the least
cost. To provide a contingent fund, out of which the
directors may help any member falling into poverty
through no fault of their own. Suppose a widow is
left with a young family, the directors would help
her in getting into some way of earning a living.
Members may join for any one or all of these benefits.
Every man and woman not insured should join at
once, and thus provide for themselves and families
in sickness or at de.ath. Prospectuses and every
information from the secretary. Young women may
have board and lodgings from 7s. 6d. per week.
