Statement of Receipts and Expendi-
tures-BaIance in the Hands of
Three Trustees.

The finance committee Of the recent Ep-
worth League convention in this city met
yesterday at the Denison House and made
Its final report. The report shows that
s., 200 has been left over after all bills have
been paid, and this sum will be used as
a nucleus for fund to build a Methodist
Episcopal hospital and Deaconess home
here. The $500 was turned over to a COM
mittee consisting of Senator Charles w.
Fairbanks, Hiram P. WATSON and William
ID. Cooper, 10 be held in trust until it is
needed. Besides felicitating every one on
the success of the convention, the report
says:
AS the rent of the tent was a good
zeal more than was expected when the
commercial Club agreed in writing two
years ago TO furnish the tent, Tomlinson
Hall, English's Opera House, the Cyclic
rama rama % 6ui .S and the Grand Opera
would come TO this city, the board of
control was induced by the local committee
to release the Commercial Club from it's
agreement to furnish the Cyclorama build
ing and the Grand Opera House. At the
time this offer was made by the CONNER
clal Club IT was agreed that the club should
receive subscriptions of whatever amounts
We're given by the Denison, the Bates and
the Grand hotels. In addition to releasing
the club from its obligation TO furnish these
buildings, as stated, We have decided to
turn over to the club $780, which is more
than we have received from all boarding
houses, hotels and restaurants in the city
other than those mentioned This action
has been voluntary on the part of our com
mittee and not asked for by the CONNER
cial Club. We believe that this would be
satisfactory to the persons especially i'm
the wholesale district, who have contrib
uted so literally, as nearly ali of them are
members OF the Commercial Club This
amount can be used in helping along other
enterprises in which all are alike inter-
ested."
