We give the above SO that our peo-
pie may know what q home institu-

small cost, we cannot fail to mention
that through the untirins efforts, the
honest representations, and the care
.ful management of Mr.. Samuel A.
Pitt, it's general and ever obliging
manager, much of the unprecedented
success is due. Mr.. Pitt knows no
interest but that which relates to
the individual member, and we are
assured, that no matter who may fall,
he will see that the member is pro-
tected first and last.
Mr. Pitt will remain with us for
several weeks-looking after the in

members invited but the public in
