there was g. general spirit of gratitude
and thankfulness for the hospitality.
The corps officers in charge were
Captain Rathgen, Lieutenant Ander-
son, Cadet Wallace, V. E. Burdick and
wife, Captain Fields Of Park City.
Aside from the members of the army
assistance was given in serving by
thirty ladies, among them being school
teachers and members of the various
churches.
The hall was tastefully decorated
with flags and bunting, presenting a
very pleasing appearance. Tables were
placed on the ground floor and in two
galleries which encircle the sides Of
the building, furnishing capacity to
seat $50 people at one time. The bill
of fare was fit for a king. There was
turkey, wild ducks, chicken, roast
beef, pork, mutton, boiled hams all

FEEDING THE NEEDY.

by people all over the city and
through the medium of the public
schools, permission having been OBJ
tanned from the principals to have the
articles brought to the school buildings.
1t took five teams two days to gather
up the things, so generous was the
response.
Two thousand admission tickets had
been distributed to needy poor by
means oe the schools. churches and
charitable institutions. No one was
turned away, however, because they
had no tickets, and among the multi
tude fed were 800 who came without
the badge of admission.
The crowds who came and were fed
consisted of men, women and children,
white and black and of all nationalities.
The ever present hungry boy was
there and ate three meals before his
appetite was satisfied. Rusty looking
men, who looked as if they might be
out of work, dropped in and enjoyed
the good cheer. Most touching, in
deed, was the appearance OF many Old
and poor men and women, who passed
in quietly and partook of the meal,
expressing thanks plainly by the visible
tears in their eyes. There were many
affecting scenes during the day. One
especially was impressive, when a
woman, carrying babe a year old,
who bore by their Dinched faces the
visible marks of semi-starvation,
passed into one of the galleries and
sat down trembling and grateful to
the dinner. The case will be investi-
gated by the officers of the army and
help furnished An abundance of food
remains and the army will gladly dis
tribute it among the Door. Anyone
knowing deserving cases should notify
the army, who have also a lot Of
clothing to pass out. Aside from those
fed in the hall dinners were sent to
fifty families in different sections of
the city.
