The Guild of st. Thomas Episcopal

the people of Newark and vicinity rich
treat. The choir of the Church of the
Saviour, one OF the best trained in the
city of Philadelphia, and consisting Of
twenty-five voices, will give, in the Col
lege oratory, Newark, a grand concert.
The concert will be given on Tuesday
evening, January Goth. The chorus is

selections on that instrument. He will
also give solos on his special instrument
the violincello. No concert that compares
with this, either in number of voices,
character of selections or general excel
lence has been given in Newark for many
years. If the oratory is not crowded II
will speak very poorly for the taste of oui
citizens. The price of tickets is, consid
ing the return, almost nothing, thirty.
five cents.

A number of laborers that have been

left, unpaid and out of work, by the con-
tractors having charge of that section.
The poor fellows have suffered intensely
from cold and hunger. Constable Legates

once visited their quarters. Here he
found il only too true-they were indeed
lacking the necessaries of life. He re-
turned to Newark; at once drew up q
subscription or donation paper, and start.

money to purchase supplies to alleviate
the hunger and cold of these unfortunate
men. lie succeeded well, as the following
will show.
Mr.. Arthur Chilis deserves much
praise for The very CHARITABLE manner II
which he has acted rtoward these men
He has furnished them with all tn

Making Things Lively,

There's philosophy about sensations
that people are mighty apt to overlook.
1t is not the man who puts all his dyna-
mite in one blast that is felt the most.
When it's over, he's over, too. IT'S the
man who does something and keeps on
doing something till you yield to his in
fluence as q part OF your daily being.
This sort Of man is John Wanamaker.
His reduction sale advertisement is only
a surprise in this, that if it was not this
it would be something else to make things
lively at this usually dull season.-Ihe
