funds! The foregoing announcement
ought to be sufficient, and probably is, to
cs,se the friends of this noble charity to
step formard with open purses and say
Here are our shekelsi take and per-
petste the existenc of the Home"
Tho above institution has been sadly
in need of funds for some time, and the
question which worried and perplexed
the Board of Managers WAS how to
raise money to keep the Home from pas
sing out Of existence. Hearing and
knowing the dilemma IN which the in
stitutlon was placed, number OF ladies
and gentlemen of this city, boldly seized
it by the horns, and determined
to relieve the Board from It's emoarrass-
ment, and at the same time furnish our
citizens with a series of select and novel
entertainments, from the proceeds OF
which they expect to realize enough 10
defray the current expenses OF the Home
for some time to come, and thus relieve
those who are so deeply interested,
in it, comprising a large
majority OF our citizens, from any APP
prehension of its ceaSing to exist. 1t Is
also expected the result of this work Will
be the endowment of the institution,
which will place it on a Perma-
nent basis financially. In. order
to compass this end, the ladies
and gentlemen who have interested them
selves in this matter have arranged to
give series of entertainments at the
Opera House this week, the first of which
takes place this afternoon. "Cinderella,
or Pride Punished" will be the pro-
gramme, and is intended. mole especially
for the amusement of ladies and chill
dren.

The representatives. of the Nail City
and Hegner Boat Clubs, met Saturday
afternoon, and made all necessary ar
engagements and drew up articles OF
agreement for the coming single shell
race between James Manton of the Nail

The following is article first, which cm-
braces the points:

of one hundred dollars $500 a side, at
Wheeling, West Virginia, on the 18th
day of July, 1915, between the hours of
two and five o'clock P NJ. The course to
be about opposite the Baltimore and Ohio
machine shops water works, i'll said city,
on the West Virginia side, to II point one
