The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-10-21

The Home for the Friendless was re-
membered by many of its friends yes
terday, the annual donation day for
that institution
The donation list scarcely amounts to
as much as in previous years, but It is
hoped that many will send contribu-
tions today. What has come is most
gladly welcomed. There are new names
on the list and some Of those which
used to be invariably found there now
are carved on the marble tablets in the
cemetery. Their faces and their un-
failing kindness are sorely missed.
May others take their places as far as
possible in the good work they have
let slip from their cold fingers. The
managers reverted to an old-time Gus
tom yesterday and carried baskets of
good things for a lunch, which not only
was enjoyed by themselves but by the
home family and which will add vari-
ETY. to other meals.
At the table were Mrs. G. p Mat
thews, Mrs. L. S. Moffat, Mrs. j. r.
Dimmick, Mrs. w. d. Kennedy, Mrs.
G. l.. Dickson, Mrs. n. Y. Leet, Mrs
