THE SACKS, THE MYSTERIOUS SACKS!
A look into the large ware.room Of Mr..
Henry X. List at four o'clock yesterday

the heart Of everyone connected with the
Home, and every friend Of the fathS kess.
It was reported that over 1900 OF the

The ladies were tired and returned to

tanned, as all bills remain unpaid. The
treasurer informs US, however, that the
proceeds will be little short Of the bazaar
two years ago. Hc says it was no fault OF
any one in particular, and through no
want OF appreciation for the Home and
its good work. The people simply have
not the money to spend and thatis all otit.
Money enough was realized. though, to
entirely pay OF the individual debt; and
the glorious sack idea comes in With such
supplementary force that no provisions OF
any kind will have to- be purchased for six
months 10 come.
The various ward committees wore busy
all day yesterday, going from house to
house and getting the sacks. They will be
at It again today. 1t may 30 that some'
sacks will be Internationally passed by.

OF the gratitude with which the managers
OF the Bazaar received II. But almost the
entire remaining interest OF the festival
