badly.
Yesterday thirty delivery wagons were
kept gong, and the resuiI was that
5000 pounds Of turkey, 1900 pounds OF
chicken. 1000 pounds Of beef. thousands
OF pounds OF crackers, untold bushels
OF potatoes and numerous other ar
ueles OF food IA large quantities were
distributed among the poor. The head
quarters at "a Pesrl-st. was a scene OF
great activity. one force of assistants
were kept busy receiving the names OF
the needy. Others were filling baskets
with turkeys and other delicacles.
"How ala you obtain the names OF
these poor famlhesP' was asked.
sob, very easily" was the answer.
fsIn the nrst place We sent circulars 10
fifty ministers OF this city asking them
- submit the names OF the needy
families IN their congregations. The
poor master also supplied Us with
many more. Then We have our books
and We keep record from year 10
year. It's seldom that NO are imposed
on, as We have black list of the un-
deserving ones Who are likely 70
apply"
At IL o'clock last night the distribu-
ton OF prOyisl had not been finished.
The good work will go on this morn
ing, however. The clothing, bedding
furniture, fuel and other articles will
not be distributed until Saturday. To-
day supply store will be opened at
III North FrOnt-st., and those wishing
assistance should apply there. II will
be necessary for them TO turnhh re-
ference unless they are known to the
committee IN charge.
A scene thatIt would be impossible
10 give any accurate description OF,
Will De witnessed IN Company B armory
at noon today. IL will be the newsboy's 5
feast, and the little urchIns
have been looking forward to 1t
with bsted breatns for many a
day. Little Jack HOrner, or the ancient
nursery rythmes WAS never more su-
premely happy than the news0oys OF
Grand Rapids are today. The antlcIpa-
ton 70 them Is nearly as good as the
feast. Ii Is thought that over 500 boys

the srmOry will be inadequate 10 hold
the spectators. WuTzDurg's 5 band, COM
prislng twenty pieces, will furnish the
music. and everything possible will be
done % make II one or the most Joyous
occasions Of the year.
Just 10 think OF the walters though.
