Fifteenth Annual Sale of the w orkroom.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Philip G.
Brown, the ladies of the workroom have
secured the corner store, under the Fal-
mouth hotel, 222 Middle street, where
they will open their sale today.
The winter although mild has been I'm
usually hard for the poor, inasmuch as
the workingmen who have no indoor
trades have not had employment in the
city's street department. or on the street
railways, because there has been SO little,
shovelling Of snow and other street works
could not be carried on on frozen ground.
For this reason many men. who in times
past have supported their families have
been compelled to turn to their wives for
the winters supply Of food and fuel.
While the variety in the stock differs
little from that offered in past seasons
the ladies hope their friends will agree
that the work averages better year by
year. They beg the good people, the
gentlemen and ladies, to buy out the en-
tire stock that the bills for provisions
given out to the sewing women, may be
paid, and little surplus laid by fol
material next year. Upon most of the
articles no profit is made, but on few
of the best garments slight advance
above actual cost Is charged to offset the
loss upon the poorer work. The ladies
offer large stock Of hand made bedding,
night shirts and night gowns, ladies'
wrappers, skirts ohildren's dresses and
underwear. The ladies have worked all
winter in this practical charity, where
there is no waste, and begged of no one,
and now they expect the people of Port.
land to do their part toward making the
poor self-supporting and thereby self-re.
speoting. The sale opens today at 9.sC
O'Clock and continues through the week.

The following will be read with regret.
The schooner referred to was in part

successive gales probably split open.
