There are over $50 OF these little
homeless ones whose mute appeal
reaches to everyone. Thrown upon
cold world through no fault OF their own,
they are left helpless at tender age
when they scarcely realize the true
meaning OF mothers tender caress or
a fathers loving care.
These little mites OF humanity, many
OF them must be clothed and fed, and to
do THE requires money and time. The
sisters, under whose guidance these
little tots are fostered, are obliged to de-
pend largely upon the public for assist
ance in their endeavors to clothe, feed
and educate them. The principal source
Of revenues is derived from the fair
which is held annually, and as before
stated, is being conducted at Armory
hall on South Broadway.
The attendance has been large during
the week, and as the end draws near the
interest increases. Saturday night will
close the fair, and great crowd is ex-
pected.
A lunch is served daily, and the ladies
would like all who can to help along the
cause by patronizng these tables.
A daily paper is being issued, and
while it is not large one, to be sure,
yet 1t publishes all news OF interest to
patrons of the fair.
This orphans asylum is non-sectarian
and all children are received and treated
alike, whether of Jewish, Catholic or
Protestant faith.
The Wiley orchestra was in attend
ance last evening, and rendered a num-
ber OF selections with much effect. All
OF the numbers were well played and
were enthusiastically received The
selections we're: High School Cadets,
by Scusa; Overture Fancredi, by Romini
Trip to Chinatown. by Gaunt Bohe-
mian Girl, by Balfe; galop, by Wiley.
AS usual. the fish pond was we'll pat
ronized. All ages OF both sexes took a
hand at the amusement. One fellow felt
a big nibble at his line and hastily drew
over the partition a diminutive weiner
vurst. He had to treat to soda water at
once to keep the crowd quiet.
Another man fshed out bottle OF
beer, and Immediately there was
stampede towards the door, with the
lucky fisherman and his prlze leading
the van.
One young woman drew out doll
baby's shoe, while another got dec.
GRATED Chinese slipper.
Many other amusing catches took
place at the pond during the evening.
The monographs are alao doing a rush
ing buainese. Casey and his various ex-
periences are the favorites with all. and
crowds, during almost the entire even
ing, of people may be seen about the
machine, holding the tubes to their ears
with one hand and holding, their sides
the other II
The Monte Carlo booth, On the right
hand aide of the hall, attracts much at
tention. 1t is a cosy affair and is made
entirely of red material. A large sign
over the top proclaims the name, There
is nothing particularly characteristic OF
the name ABOUT the place, however, the
ladies in charge contenting themselves
with only a few ruffles. Many little
pieces of statuary, fans and other arti-
cles are exhibited.
The booth is in charge OF Miss De
Cells, assisted by the following: Misses
Bartning, j.. Bartning, A. Bartning,
Menefee, Glass and Cass, chaporened
by Mrs. Urquiza.
Next to the Monte Carlo is the candy
booth, presided over by Mrs. S. Grant,
who also looked after the same booth
last year. The booth is trimmed in
white with pale pink and blue and is
very pretty. The assistants are Misses
Grant, Ida Buell. and Rinaldo of San
Francisco.
One Of the most pleasing and attrac-
tive places in the hall is the punch
booth in the southwest corner of the
room. 1t is tastfully trimmed in white
material with blue polka dots and with
fn the folds of the cloth are nestled
OF richly colored ivy leaves. In addition
to serving delicious punch, tea can also
be obtained. A well-selected stock OF
faccy articles is run in connection with
this booth. Mrs. Bradbury is presiding,
assisted by the Misses Winston and
Mrs. Thomas.
The orphans appeal booth 10 on the
right hand side of the room, by Monte
Carlo. 1t is the headquarters for the
fair paper, the Orphans Appeal. This
little sheet is being well patronized in
the way of advertisements and gives
daily report of the doings of the fair.
The booth is in charge OF Mrs. Victor
Ponet, Mrs. d. M. McGarry and Mrs.
D. F. Donegan.
The weighing scales, are just to the
left of the orphans appeal booth. The
ihulod TcpoIt uulnS hu oAColl6uJ Dubl-
ness in telling the weights and heights
of all. They are ready for all kinds
Of weights, from heavyweights down to
faatherweights. Mrs. DIR. Kannon,
Misses Mcirath and De Laney have
charge here.
Luncheon and dinner companies are
becoming very popular now. A delight.
full affair was held in the coffee booth in
the afternoon and in the evening. Mrs.
Victor Ponet entertained a number of
friends in the dining hall.
Mr.. d. +. Donegan, the contractor.
entertained quite number OF city and
county officials and others to luncheon
in the afternoon. The best things Of
fered by the extensive menu were served
and the party was one Of the jolliest ever
gathered at the fair. The host was with
one accord voted royal fellow. Those
present were: District Attorney Dillon,
District Attorney Ryan, Messrs. Dock
weller, Luckenbach, Winston, Kannon,
Bryant, Cfawley, Peterson, Palomares,
Harmon. Donegan.
If not inconsistent it would be well to
finish the fair with a dance tomorrow
evening. 1t would at least insure large
attendance.
Among the young ladies who have
greatly aided their respective booths are
Miss Frances Smith in the punch booth
and Miss A. Bartning at Monte Carlo.
