WAS A Big SUCCESS.
Managers Of the Home for the
Friendless Realized Handsome
Sum on the Fete.

The managers of the Home for the
Friendless held a regular meeting yes
terday at the Home. Many important
matters came up for discussion, chief
of which was the report of the chair
man of the finance committee, Mrs. E.
+. Chamberin, who read the proceeds
of the Marie Antoinette Fete, as re-
ported by J. II. Brooks, treasurer of
the executive committee. The total
was $3,06763, which ELECTED applause
and mutual congratulations. A vote Of
thanks was rendered the gentlemen OF
the executive committee for their un-
firing efforts in behalf Of the Home.
The management deeply grateful for
the earnest support furnished on every
side. AS an indication of the spon-
taneous character of this, 1t Is noted
that the box Office ticket sales alone
were 1880. The kindness Of chaper-
ones, participants, business houses,
and in fact everybody was marked.
The heavy bills for light and water
We're discussed at length. The last
months charge of $39 for water, de-
spite the expensive appliances for saw
ing the same, caused CONSERVATION.
