words. Remarks of a similar characte
were MADE by Mayor Brown
and Messrs. Carroll, Steffens. an,
Rev. J. =. Benton, of Oakland

ferring to the rnusst,. cence of the cenerou
donor, which he characterized as the legiti

And thus the Marguerite Home for ageC
| women was established and presented L
the people of this city by the same unset
| fish, self-sacrificing and noble-hearted lady
| IN whose honor was witnessed yesterdays
| grand demonstration. This one act alone
| by which magnificent fortune was given
! for 2 noble charity, would have been suf-
| ticient TO insure the doner the everlasting
| city and State and tie love and
| esteem of good people everywhere
but il is only one of innumerable acts of
| like character, which have shone out
| through the years of her life, bringing
light and comfort into the dark abodes OF
want and suffering.
