The kindergarten ard third grade

FOR SAN
FRANCISCO SUFFERERS

The monster benefit for the sufferers
by the San Francisco disaster bids
fair to raise a goodly sum of money to
help swell the fund that is being sent
from Hawaii. This benefit takes place
at the Hawaiian Opera House Thurs
day and Saturday evenings, and Satur-
day matinee, April 26th and 2Sth. "The
College Widow" George AIDES Clever
Comedy, will be produced, and the
profits from these performances will
be sent to the San Francisco sufferers
The exchange tickets are being rapid
ly disposed of, for thus each one of us
can lend a helping hand for a most
meritorious cause. The Opera House,
lights, newspaper advertising, etc,
have been given free of charge, and
everyone who in any way can help has
wanted to do so.
The box office opens at Wall Nichols
| Co., on Wednesday, April 25th, and no
doubt the three performances win be
! to crowded house, which simply means
handsome sum of money for the suf-
ferers. And we can all help to make it
a rousing benefit and an enormous sue
cess.
The cast, with this worthy cause tc
work for, are leaving no stones unturn-
ed to present a finished and clever per-
formance, and, with the added zeal Of
the worthy cause in view, "The College
