were placed in the hands of Chief Clerk
Sylvester of the police department. TO be
distributed through the precincts.
The cards were to be brought to the store
this morning at O'Clock, and at that hour
u large number of the fortunate lads were
crowded about the Seventh street doors.
Many were accompanied by their parents.
The children were of all ages, from years
old to IL. Only an eyewitness can under
stand the extreme want of some Of these
little ones. Several touching scenes were
enacted and tears almost came to the eyes
at the gratitude displayed.
One curly-aeaded chap, years old, with
bright. blue eyes, wassacconipanied by
hard-worked mother. Cleanliness was n
virtue among them, but dire want was
their master. The child was fitted with
tiny suit and he gratefully said IT 'ank Gu;
tank 'ou."
A little colored boy who lived in Louise
alley presented his ticket and was made
happy. One boy from the Newsboys Home
who had noticket. but had been sent there.
stepped aside and waited his turn. He was
somewhat larger than the Others andpride
showed in his every turn. He had large,
expressive eyes and he displayed re-
luctaDce to accept charity. These boys will
ever be loyal to their benefactor.
While some came from the street, with
all the Inherited street vices, number OF
them are absolutely GODeSt. Wnen tne door
was opened a bright-eyed lad stepped up
and said he had two cards, one having been
given by boy friend Heidi not want two
suits, but turned the other card in.
A little fellow about four years old was
without undershfrt and one was provided.
Not only did the boys get suits of clothes,
but in addition each was presented with
an extra pair of pants and neat blue cap.
The following letter explains itself:
Messrs. Saks & Company, city;
Gentlemen: 1 take pleasure in acknowl-
edging receipt OF one, hundred orders for
suits of clothing for boys unable to procure
the ordinary comforts of life, and they will
be given through the police to those most

appreciation of the generous charity of
your enferprising firm, and thanks you
for your renewal of confidence in this
department.
