spite of the fact that it had been advertised
in very limited degree, and it demon
strated the fact that the people of this city
are not to be outdone when it comes TO q
question OF charity.
Even the galleries were packed. and
among those who looked down from that
elevated position were people who are al
ways TO the fore when the hand of want is
outstretched or good cause is in need of
aid.
