Could Not Resist Appeal for Hell p.
COINS THROWN ON THE STAGE.
Fund Continues TO Grow from All
Sources Concert Tonight.

The concert given in Wilder music
hall last night under She auspices of
Perth Amboy Lodge of Elks No. 784,
for the benefit of the san Francisco
fund, was "a great success and money
came pouring in so fast when an ap-
peal was made and the hat was pass
ed that between 5000 and $3.50 was
cleared. The exact sum will not be
known until the committee gets
things Strengthened out, which may
be this afternoon or tomorrow.
The concert opened with few Sc
lections by an orchestra under the di-
rectiou Of Prof. c. Howard Smith.
About $50 o'clock the curtain went
up and the Orpheus Glee Club rem
dered two selections They were
heartily applauded.
Miss Clara Harrington rendered
two selections on the violin She was
accompanied by Miss Augusta Far
rington. Both are well known musi-
clans and they met with their usual
popularity. Mrs r. W. Macan sang
two solos and Miss Fannie Dale play
ed few selections on the piano The
Lyric Mandolin club under the direc-
ton of Miss Lillian Graham, delight
ed the audience with a few selections.
Recorder H. e. Pickersgill made a
short address, in which he told of the
purpose of the concert and that the
success was due more to the people
of this city than the Elks.
After short intermission, during
which the orchestra played selec-
ton, the glee club again entertained,
after which DR.. w. Il. Ramsay, in
ia monologue, cracked few jokes
and told a few stories at the expense
of a number of local people who were
present Then, suddenly, he switched
off and spoke of the great disaster in
San Francisco, telling of the horrible
deaths and of the starving people
who needed the necessities of life.
The speaker said that he knew of one
mother who had been killed and left
six little children with no one TO take
care of them and that in it was the
duty of all to help.
While the doctor was in the middle
of his plea some on threw a handful
of money on the stage. In a second
the crowd had taken the idea and
money began falling on the Stage
from all parts of the hall Then
came call from the back of the
room that the people in the rear had
something to give, but could not
reach the stage Hats were grabbed
and collection was taken up. When
the entire amount was counted it
was found that it amounted to $31.-
90. Some one gave four cents more
and $32 was reached. This morn
ing Exalted Ruler J. X. Sheehy was
handed a dollar bill by woman, and
the amount is now $33
The rest of the entertainment con

FELL THROUGH WINDOW.
Miss Allie Pearson Seriously Injured
at Her Fathers Home in
: Marlboro.

Bcnnettsville. Aug. 1.--Last Sum

through second floor window at the
home of her father, Alex. G. Pearson,
near Lester. in this county, and was
very seriously v if not fatally injured.
Miss Pearson had not been feeling

about 10 O'Clock Sunday morning feel
ing weak and faint. Her sister, Miss
Brulah. was in the room with her, and
noticed her lean on the bureau, as if
to rest Il moment. Miss Buelah's at
tcntion was averted for moment, and
when she looked again, Miss Allie was
falling through the low window, by
which the bureau sat. 1t is thought
that she tainted and lost control of
herself.
She was taken up, badly bruised
and in an unconscious condition,
though no bones were broken She
remained unconscious Or several
hours.
Thursday she seemed much better,
and was able to sit up and walk some.
Yesterday. however. she grew worse,
and last night it was reported that
she was sinking rapidly. and that
there was little hope of her recovery.
Miss Pearson is about % years Of
age. and is a young lady Of unusual
intelligence, beauty and popularity.
For the past two years she has been
stenographer and typewriter in bank
at Greenwood. She came here few
days ago to spend a short vacation at
the home Of her father.
The above special to the State will
interest Ncwbery readers in that
Miss Pearson was for several months
the efficient stenographcr for John
stone and Wclch in Newberrv. She
has many friends here who will regret
to learn of the accident which she has
sustained.
