He urged all present to throw their influence on the right side and benefit themselves and humanity. After some excellent singing by the quartette MT c. D Albee, president of the society, made an earnest and successful appeal to the audience In response large numbers came forward and signed the pledge, Next Sunday Miss Eva Thomas, the gifted elocutionist, will be present and give recitation.

Huddled together in two of the smallest rooms in the basement of one of the most dilapidated tenements on one of the mar rowest streets in this city there is family of ten persons in exceedingly destitute cir cumstances.

There are six small children, the youngest sixteen months and the oldest eleven years old. In the family is Mrs. Daniels mother and her step son.
