EXCURSION OF THE HOME.
1t Will Go to Shawanese Lake on
Tuesday.

ueSudys
Ever since it's organization the Home
for Friendless Women and Children
has been one of the prominent institu-
tions of Scranton. 1t was started in
the firm belief that the people of this
city had a warm place in their hearts
for the needy waits who are to be found
in every community, as we'll as those
whose age and friendlessness entities
them to substantial sympathy. APP
peals in time of need have always met
with a hearty and cordial response,
and now the Home comes to all and
asks support.
The annual excursion will be run to
Shawanese (HarveyD lake on Tuesday,
June %. The train will leave the T.. &
w. V. r. r. station on Washington
avenue at $50 Tuesday morning and
returning reach Scranton before dark.
Last year the Home went to Bingham
ton, and over eleven hundred dollars
were netted as the result.
The support offered to the Home on
next Tuesday should be no less than
that of last year. The needs of the
Home are greater than a year ago.
The family is larger, more mouths to
feed, and funds are required for the
completion of the new building.
The managers of the Home appeal
to all who have in their hearts sympa-
thy for those who, but for this institu-
tion, would be homeless, to show that
sympathy by purchasing tickets for
this excursion. Some people avoid such
outings on account Of the annoyance
of carrying and caring for their lunch
baskets. The managers are glad to
announce that this year Caterer Will
lam Hanley will accompany the excur-
sion, taking with i'm bountiful supply
of eatables for the accommodation OF
those who wish to be entirely freed
from the care of lunch baskets. Sand
wiches, cake, ice cream and other eat
ables will be for sale.
