GIVE TO THE ORPHANS
NEW HAVEN ORPHAN ASYLUM'S GREAT ANNUAL TOMORROW.


 Day.
 The following is self-eXplanatory, and the great worthiness of the cause in question and the many previous noble responses from the public to the asy- lum's Donation day appeals leave no room for doubt that the returns this year will, as in the past, be such as to make glad the hearts of the manage ment and the orphans:
 It is unnecessary to make any ex- plantations or to offer any apologies concerning Donation Day" to any one long citizen of New Haven. It has become a part of the history of this famous city, and is an event which is not only expected but welcomed by the generous people who have for so many years given it their hearty sanction and support.
 Your committee expects to devote its time and strength Thursday, October Is, for this most worthy charity, and we are sure it's efforts will be willingly seconded by the outpouring of a most hearty and bountiful contribution.
 It isS Out natural that during the heat and excitement of the presidential cam paign now upon us our attention should be so absorbed that other matters seem for the time unimportant in compari- son. For this reason we desire to em- phasize more forcibly the great de- nands of this noble institution, and appeal to the liberal hearted among us to especially more than ever give this cause their most careful and generous support.
 This appeal is made in the interest of an institution and on behalf of a board of self-sacrficing lady managers, whose work is familiar to all. You know the noble work that is being done there, and that except for it's open door thousands of little helpless ones left dependent through no fault of their own would either have had to perish from neglect or, still worse, have lived to grow up in misery. ignorance and crime, Had it not been for the gener- ous contributions of the many on De- nation day this home charity could not have carried on it's work in the past with any degree of success or progress. Consider the thousands Of dollars in cash and the long line of trucks of valuable merchandise each year deliv- cred to the managers at the asylum on Donation day Every dollar and every article going straight to it's dcor with hardly a dollar expense in it's collec- ton Gall trucks, carriages, badges, ban ners, etc, used by the committee being contributed) One dollar given in this fo, 1oi fc 6ro a yo two dollars given in many other wor thy causes.
 Tie committee will take extraordi- nary pains to give every one an oppor tunity to contribute, and will canvass the entire town and city as far as pos- sible. It will, however, be impossible to call upon all, and any one who de- sircs can send his contribution to the president of the association, or to the headquarters Of the committee, which will be located for the day at the old store of Ewen Mcintyre & Co.,, No. 837 Chapel street
 Let everybody give something (we are all equally interested) and Dona- tion lay for 1896 will be not only blessing for the cause which we desire to help, but will also be blessing to
