The Newsboys' Home Managers
Give Thanks for Favors Re-
ceived.
To the Citizens of st. Paul: The
board of managers of the NewsbOys'
Home association desire in this manner
to convey their good will and thanks to
the Bostonians for the generous spirit
III which their services were given in
aid of charity whose aim is to benefit
and help the street boys of st. Paul. 10
Frederick Warde grateful thanks are
due for the part which he took on the
programme. To Miss Gordon and MIR.
Aamold we are no less grateful: theirs
was the tribute of home talent
to our own charity. To l.. n.
Scott, the Opera House company.
Messrs. Powers and Thompson, OF
the stage management, w. j. Dyer d.
Bro, Finch, Van SIyke & Co., Corlies.
Chapman q Drake, DeCoster & Clark,
and Mr.. Dickinson acknowledgements
are due for gratuitouS offerings and
services. We by no means fail to APP
preciate the cOurtesies of the press so
freely and effectively given, and of so
much benefit to us upon this and pre-
viouS occasions. The board Of man
ayers tender their Acknowledgements to
one of their number, Maj. A. E. Bates,
to whose efficient efforts the success of
the entertainment is due. To the clti-
ZenS of st. Paul for their patronage
upon this and previous occasions, and
for their liberal aid in the support OF
this, their own charity, the management
tender their thanks.
There was realized from the concert
over 5000 net, sum very timely owing
to the scarcity of available funds in the
treasury. We are now confident of our
ability not only to carry on the Corning
home, a safe shelter with good int1u-
ences for from fifteen to twenty home
less orphan boys, but to open and con-
duct club rooms, with gymnasium, read
ing rooms, ETC., where 800 or more street
boys will find helpful and pleasant sur
roundings instead of spending their
time in the saloons, gambling places
or in the street. Rooms have
been taken in the Clark block
upon Fifth street, between Cedar
and Minnesota streets, and will be
at once opened and conducted under
the care of competent agent of the as
ISOLATION who will also devote more or
less time to looking after the interests
OF the boys in general way. 1t is our
aim to conduct this charity free from
cant and sectarianiSm, and we believe
it is good business principle to save
the boy from the saloon and prison and
make him a Self-supporting, reSpecta
bic citizen. The people of st. Paul
have literally subscribed to this work,
and it is expected that previous sub
scriptions will be continued, while adj
ditional subscriptions already opened
by Bishop Ireland with $500 are con-
tldently expected. The expense of the
home in excess of the amount collected
from the boys for board are about $50
per month and the expenses of the
club rooms and the agent will be about
the same amount. Subscriptions may
be forwarded to F. A. Seymour, treas
urer of the association, at. the Mer-
chants National bank. The members
of the board freely dedicate their time
and labor to the work of the association,
= beside giving their share OF the contibu-
tons. They have not been compelled,
so far, to spend their time and trouble
i'll raising funds, and expect public so
generous in the past will continue to
send their subscriptions voluntarily
and without being personally called
upon. Signed:
Board of Managers, Emerson W. Peet.
