THE FUND ES GROWING.
Generous Rcspahse TO the Appeal for
Aid for the Firen,cn's Families.

"' e re,,ffcns F""i'ieS'
The people of Washington are always
ready to give when they know the cause is
a worthy one, and they give generously to
reileVe suffering or want. This time the
cause is one that is more than usually de-
serving of consideration, for it has come as
& direct result of the bravery and devotion
to duty on the part of three iiremen, who
lost their lives in the great fire on Wednes-
day morning. Their families are deprived
OF their means of support. and the need
must be an imminent one. The Stars APP
peal for subscriptions has met with a gen.
erous response, but enough has not yet been
raised even to show appreciation for such
heroism as those three men displayed. He
gives twice who gives quickly, and a gen
erous gift is an incentive to others to give.
The Evening Star will receive and acknowl-
edge all subscriptions to the fund. The fol-
lowing subscriptions have been received:
