YF money talks, as they say it does,
enough has been said already to
assure the success of San Francis
cos reception to the Homecoming
California Volunteers. Fifty thou
sand dollars is the sum upon which
the Citizens Committee has set It's
heart, and yesterday, without the
least bit of solicitation, more than
$4,000 went rolling into the treas
ury. Monday morning the business
and professional men of the city wall
start out each in the district mapped
out for him. Before nightfalI 1t is
expected the snowy fall Of checks and
the merry jingling of dropping dol
lars will remind one of jolly sleigh
ing party on an Eastern winter day.
The manner in which well-known
citizens responded yesterday to the
invitation of the finance committee
shows that no one is daunted at the
idea of raising the money necessary.
No one asked the question How will
we get itP'' Tt was always, when do
we commenced" The answer came at
once in the shape of letters contain
ing checks for the following amounts:
San Francisco Brewers Asso-
citation .SlOoo
Stock and Bond Exchange -. $50
London, Paris and American
Bank EoO
Merchants Exchange 100
Ioval Legion so
Goldberg, Bowen & Co. e.. so
With the balance left from the
moneys collected for the reception
heretofore held, amounting to
S347 rs, this makes a starter of
S2O47 76. Not so bad.
In addition to this commencement,
the attention of the newly formed
citizens finance committee has been
called to the necessity of steps to Sc
cure employment, either old or new,
for returning volunteers. The senti-
ment seemed to be unanimous that
there would be no difficulty on this
head.
The theatrical managers, who have
set themselves the task of raising
$1,000 of the necessary amount, are
hard at work and will leave no stone
unturned to make the benefit a
golden-lined, artistic success. The
managers, like the members of the
citizens executive and finance COM
mittees. have received proffers of all
kinds Of assistance free from various
sources.
The auction sale of boxes and
choice seats for the big benefit will be
held at the Orpheum next Thursday,
beginning at noon. Mayor Phelan
will make a speech and Actresses
Edna Wallace Hopper, Miss Anglin,
Juliet Crosby, Alice Nielsen and num-
erous beauteous others will smile on
prospective purchasers.
The executive committee meets
this morning at II o'clock at the
Chronicle building. The decoration
committee meets this afternoon at 3
o'clock at the Union Trust building.
