The managers of the Home for the
Friendless are just now In want of
money to carry on their work, and ap-

been necessary of late to borrow money h
to carry on the work. The number of
inmates is larger than formerly and the
cost of maintenance has much increas-
ed. There have been some necessary
expenses for repairs to be met and the
managers find themselves with a near
ly empty treasury. A little financial h
aid at this time will be greatly appre-
ciated by the managers, who are carry
ing on a deserving work.
