 Handsome and convenient new quarters for the Sailors home will soon be built by the Women's Seamen's Friend society to replacs the present old structure. Plans are now being drawn up and will be Be- lected by the building committee at ths next weeks meeting.

The society will build now only such 8 buildi g as will suffice for present needs, but ultimately will build up the complete site. The home is to cost $l5, ,000, which has been secured by sale of the old property and by $7,00O received from subscriptions. The society is in need of funds to complete It's objsct, and benefit concert will soon be given in War ner hall.
 It is expected that the work of building will begin in about three months, and will bs pushed as rapidly ss possible.
