Red Cross Society Expects After It's
Concert to Have Abundant Funds
to Carry ON Every Branch of the
Relief Work Which Is Within Its
scOpe-Hospital at Smelling VIII
Be Ready.
Not lacking In zeal in the pursuit Of
the St. Paul Red Cross Aid society.
Despite the continued inclement wealth
er, additional interest is being mani
fest daily, and the work is being taken
up by many Of the civic organizations
of the city.
About 200 garments have been COM
pleted for the two regiments at Chick
amauga, and will be forwarded early
next week. A barrel of fruit juices,
unfermented wine and other delicacies
will be packed today and sent to the
Fourteenth regiment.
Letters have been received from
members of the Fourteenth by the Of
ficers of the society saying that sup
plies Of this nature would be most
gratefully received by the hospital
corps, as the hospital was well filed.
The big entertainment to be given
early in June in the Auditorium by
Prof. Congdon and the school children
is sharing interest with the work Of
the society already in hand.
The chorus will consist Of over 1900
school children, and the entertainment
will be of a nature calculated to arouse
the patriotic sentiment of the st. Paul
people. The living flag, which was so
successfully arranged. during the G.
A. r. encampment here in 1896 and
which attracted almost national atten-
ton, will be reproduced.
In addition to the living flag, songs
and tableaux by the school children
there will be other attractions equally
interesting.
Popular prices will prevail, and. if
the affair warrants it, the entertain
ment will be produced a second time.
Mrs. B. L. Goodkind, who is chair
man of the entertainment committee,
is very enthusiastic over the project.
The other members Of the committee
are Mrs. R. M. Newport, Mrs. E. e.
Hughsen, Mrs. Ambrose Guiterman,
Mrs. B. Zimmerman, Mrs. s. Stern.
berg and Miss Caroline M. Beaumont.
The work which the society has ac-
complished thus far has exceeded the
expectations of even the most san
guine of the Red Cross workers. With
nearly 5000 garments completed and
$3.50 in cash subscriptions, the society
has in sight $1,000 or $1,000 proceeds
from the entertainment and the work
on the garments which will be done
during the next two weeks.
In addition to the material assistance
rendered the army by the society, the
example of the patriotism Of the st.
Paul women will long live, intoxicating
in the younger generations especially
those sentiments of patriotism and 10y
atty most desirable in a nation.
