The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1893-10-13
The Rescue Club
Entertainment

Once again 1t gives the Astorian very
great pleasure to call the attention of
the public to the Rescue Club enter
tainment that Is to be given in the
hall tomorrow night. Not one of our
readers will contradict the statement
| that the old Rescue Club is highly
deserving of whatever patronage they
can bestow on it, and 1t is because of
this knowledge that the club members
are assured of very gratifying sue
cess tomorrow.
The Astoria Rescue Temperance
Club was organized May 10th, 1887,
and has met continuously every Sat
urday night for the past six and half
years, never adjourning except on rare
occasions when some temperance lect-
ure has occurred in town on the same
evening. Its membership numbers
some twenty-five hundred a very
large proportion of whom have faith
fully kept their pledges. 1t is, as all
Astorians know, an open meeting, free
to all well-behaved people. It's object
is to promote temperance and good
morals, to educate and elevate public
sentiment on these lines, and in addi-
ton to furnish a pleasant evening once
q week for the benefit of the communi-
ty-especially the young people, Its
entertainments are furnished through
the voluntary efforts of committees
selected weekly, and those gifted in
speech and song have most generously
given their services for the general
good. For several years the building
has been too small to hold the i'm
mense audiences, and 1t became ne
cessary to make some changes, with
the aim of improving and enlarging
the hall.
Although economy has been closely
studied, some expense has been neces-
sarily incurred, and the proceeds of
the entertainment tomorrow evening
are to be applied in payment therefor.
