St. Paul daily globe., 1892-07-10


fund committee at the worlds fair head.
quarters in the New York Life building
yesterday afternoon at o'clock-a bust
neSs-like and enthusiastic meeting.
Mrs. William R. Merriam came in from
Forest Lake to be present and presided.
Miss Virginia Rice was made secretary
OF the organization and Miss Dawson
treasurer. There was great deal of
discussion over the different houses of.
fered for the hospital. 1t has not yet
been decided whether Como or White
Bear will be the place chosen, but. after
discussion, a house at White Bear was
deemed more satisfactory.
The question of where the children
are to be cared for being disposed of,
the question of how they shall be taken
care of came up for immediate consd-
Grafton. There are several nurses
physicians who place children in the
home will be asked to attend them.
But the house is not furnished, and
furnished it must be, and that. too. at
once. There is scarcely a man or a
woman in all the town who can not
contribute to the worthy cause. The
GLOBE fund is still open to all those
who will give money. and money. even
in dimes and quarters, is more than
welcome.
AS for the beds for the little ones,
there are about a dozen cots donated by
the Relief society, but they are simply
bare iron bars, without mattresses or
bedding. Therefore the women in
who read the GLOBE, to help them fit
up the beds. If you have neither money
Hor bedding to give to help the work OH,
the committee will be very glad to have
you give other things needed. What is
needed? Well. cook stove, for one
thing, and cooking utensils. A refrig-
orator is an imperative necessity.
Dishes, kitchen towels, linen of all
kinds, tables, chairs, lamps, candles,
and, IN Short anything that can serve
to make the little patients more COM
Portable will be gladly received. Dona-
tiOnS are to be sent to Guild hall of
Christ church before Wednesday. The
next meeting of the committee is to be
held there OH Wednesday afternoon at 3
O'clock. =
Everything must be attended to at
once, for midsummer is upon us. 1t is
Intended to inaugurate the institution
by donation party at the house. Ev-
! erybOdy will be invited, and everybody
will be asked to bring his little mite
his money, bis chair, or table. or what
ever else he cares to give, and see the
? home put on its feet.
1t is not thing of this season, nor of
next season, but an institution which it
is hoped st. Paul will support for a
great many years. 1t is not entirely
charity, for great many of the patients
= will be paid for. There will be great
many little ones, however, who are not
paid for, and i'll their name, in the name
of childhood and common humanity,
the GLOBE asks you to help the cause
ialong. s7t y
2 The churches are to be asked to give
E their next Sundays contributions to the
fresh air fund.- Every clergyman, of
whatever denomination, is asked to no
tify Mrs. W.1k.I Merriman, at 25 Uni
versity avenue, of his views in the mat
ter. and whether his church will con-
tribute as is asked. Every effort is be-
ing made to insure the success of the
undertaking, and before another Sun
day dawns let us hope the invalid little
ones will be under the crisp leaved trees
of the lakeside trees.
