FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE POOR
Mr.. Frederick Douglass il to lecture for the
benefit Of the poor of this section. The sub
ject he has chosen is "Hsyti." The lecture will
be under the auspices Of the churches of Ana

pearance q committee of arrangements has
been created, consisting Of Rev. G. ". McCul-
Tough, pastor of the Jefferson Street Baptist
Church; Father Thomas b. Hughes, rector of
st. Teresas Catholic Church; Rev. W. G. Da-
venport rector Of Emmanuel Protestant Epis-
copal Church. and Rev. E. Richardson, pastor
Of the Jackson Street NJ E. Church. The Pres
byterian Society, which at present 10 without
pastor, will be requested to appoint one of
their number to serve on this committee. 1t
was at first thought proper to turn the pro-
ceeds of the lecture over to the local branch OF
Associated Charitie-, but it has since been ad-
judged wise to intrust the distribution to the
police. A good many worthy applications for
aid are being made to Sergeant Kerby. The
printing and advertising will be done withou.

discount of the usual rent
