the community that you are always
ready to take up the cause of the in

Gov. Flower is known to he a man Of
generous heart and warm sympathies,
and this praise must be pleasant to him
But how much more gratifying 1t would
be to be told hat his readiness to take

TIE FOOL CHARITIEr.

been brought to "A close, the necessity
for it's continuance having practically
ceased. Nevertheless "A volunteer con
cert at Tony Pastors Theatre last night
realized over one thousand dollars for
the fund. and added more han twenty
thousand loaves to the reserve supply.
The remarkable success Of this volun-
teer entertainment IL an evidence of the
popular sentiment In favor of the great
bread charity. 1t was n happy idea In
the season Of extraordinary suffering.
a movement whose plain, practical re
lief commended 1t at once To the favor
of the people, and 1t did much good.
Without forInality or red tape. it's one
sole claim being hunger, it's only rcqui-
site being to ask and receive, it drove
starvation at least from the field, md
saved thousands from suffering and per
haps from crime. 1t has given to the
Vanishing more than ono million louvos.
II has probably a months supply yet
In store. 1t asks no further suhscrip-
lions, because 1t hopes and believes the
necessity has passed away.
In connection with The Evening
Worlds" Free Food Distribution, this
benevolent movement has accomplished
a most valuable work, and the noble
contributors to both projects deserve
and are rendered the sincerest thanks.
