A Concert In Mid Ocean on the
Steamship Majestic.
Or the last eastward trip OF the White
Star steamship Majestic there was a very
pleasant entertainment in aid OF Iii EVEN
iNo WORLDS Sick Baty Fund
The Majestic was crowded to her utmost
capacity OH this trip aud fully nine-tenths
Of those on board were Americans. They
were all on pleasure bent and were ~ioyfully
anticipating the gay times they would have
on foreign shores.
Among the company was lTr. JaQues II.
Herts. a member of the well-known furniture
firm Of ii. b. Herts Il Sons, of this city.
He is a man who Possesses a great big
heart. and he never forgot that while this
Ray company was seeking rest and recraa-
ton abroad there were thousands in the
tenement districts Of this city who we're not
able, through poverty. TO even relieve sick
ness in their families, much less 20 on excur-
sions, however small.
Mr.. Herts remembered The EVENING
WORLDS Sick BABY Fund. and, knowing il to
be \ most worthy charity. he conceived the
idea OF getting up an entertainment fer its
benefit.
He knew that thousands OF little ones were
nursed and tended by The EVENING WoRLp's
corps OF physicians, and when he told
others OF the passengers how much good
they could do by contributing a small
amount to the Fund, they one and all heart
iy entered into his plan.
There were ZONE few kickers. of course.
They were Englishmen who objected TO the
taking mp OF any contribution on an Eng
lish ship that wa' not destined to relieve
and help some English charity.
The officers OF the ship objected also, bu,
the genuine American indignation that fol-
lowed quickly silenced all the m~alcontents.
1t was finally decided that the concert
should take place June IL, and that half Of
the collection taken MP should be given to
tile seaman.sO rphsnAGe Of Liverpool, the
other half coins TO the Sick Baby Fund.
The concert was n grand success. 1t was
