THE LOSS OF THE PORTLAND.
A Letter Chain to Aid Needy Relatives
of the Victims.

Among those who persisted on the
steamer Portland were many whose
families are in need. The generous
people of Portland and other places are
ready and eager to aid the sufferers in
their grief and need. Business men are
doing this by means OF subscription
papers. That others may have an oppor-
tunity to contribute in small sums, let.
ter chain has been started. The ten cents
nclosed in each letter will, in the aggre-
gate, make sum which will tighten the
burden of grief in many a humble home,
Tt is labor of love for the widow and
orphan. The letters in the chain are
made returnable to the Portland Daily
PRESS, and the m oney reserved will be
applied IN the same manner as that sub
scribed through other sources. 1t is
earnestly requested that persons receiving
the letters which form the links of the
chain, shall not stop work of mercy by
negleoting to write two letters in the
manner explained.
