Amusement-seel viii find plenty
Of opportunity to satisfy themselves
during the coming week, ana will, on
nearly every occasion, have the com
fort of knowing that while they are
well entertained, they VIII be helping
suffering humanity at the same time.
The great- he=rtcd citizens of Utah are
doing eii IN human power TO bring aid
TO the stricken families Of ScOfeld, and
no stone viii l. left uIturned in this
direction. 1t IL safe to say that every
person in this city is willing and ready
to swell the fund according 20 MS
means, but there are many who, no
doubt, feel that what they are able to
give would be too insignificant on
subscription lis Therefore, TO give
them an opportunity to contribute, ben
eft performances will be given, and
they need no more eloquent appeal for
patronage than a simple statement or
their object. A benefit performance, at
a nominal fee of admission, is a Splen-
did idea, and deserves the cooperation
of every influential person. 1t enables
the poorer classes to give their mite,
and they receive at the same time a
recreation and amusement which they
probably need. Then, those whose
subscriptions reach into three and four
or - cents, for which they Will receive
good entertainment, and itch VIII
help to increase the receipts at the
same time. So a benefit performance
reaches all classes, and gives DIVERSION
TO the prosperous while IL helps the
suffering.
