The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-06-12

The Auditorium was again filled at
the last presentation of the Red Cross
concert yesterday afternoon, and an
almost exact reproduction of the Fri
day nights programme was given. The
applause was not so ready as on Fri
day evening, probably owing to the
fact that the audience was made I'D
mostly of women. The teachers from
the public schools were in attendance
In full force and gave verbal evidence
OF the pride they all felt in the sue
cess of the children in whom they are
personally interested.
Prof. Congdon looked tired out, but
Kept his control over the children as
well as ever
Mrs. B. T. Goodkind, the chairman
OF the entertainment committee. will
not know till the first of the week how
mucfr- was realized from the affair,
but hopes that it is a goodly sum.
There was little expense connected with
the venture, and the tickets sold read
lily. ia
Mrs. e. p. Sanborn was In charge
OF the house at Red Cross Headquarters
yesterday. The women were greatly
pleased with the result of the enter
tainment in the Auditorium. and made
1t the subject for conversation nearly
all day. There viii be box sent away
Monday, and every one who can is ask
ec TO donate hospital supplies to help
fill it. There has been some question
as to whether the local Red Cross
could receive money donations, the
constitution of the national society for
biodlng local societies receiving money
without its consent. The fact is the
st. Paul society is not member of the
national organization yet, though steps
have been taken to bring about such
attiliation. If this were so at present,
the local society could not give aid to
the Minnesota boys direct as the work
must be done through the national So
ciety.
There were a few women assisting
Mrs. Boyer and Mrs. Cooley with the
sewing yesterday, but the women do
bot turn out so well as those in charge
desire. Much of the work is taken
home, however, and this is all carefully
gone over several times before it is
packed. Even then the last inspection
leads to some very funny discoveries
in the way of odd construction. These
night shirts button in the back" di-
rected some little girl who donated
several of these popular garments
And, as very few people care to sleep
on row of buttons, the women were
obliged to remove those which had
been carefully sewn on, and replace
them with tapes.
Mrs. Martha P. Rich, of Hastings,
wrote yesterday asking for informa-
ton as to the articles needed, as the
women there are filling a box to send
TO the headquarters in st. Paul. Num-
bers of such letters are received every
day from all over the state.
The following letter explains itself:
ST. Paul, Mimi, -.
To the Red Cross Society:
This dollar and siXty-four cents we send
10 the Red Cross society, the soldier boys
friend.
Though such small sum it may be of some
use
With the offerings of others. So this our ex-
cuse
