San Francisco sufferers was a very
successful affair The attendance
was not as large as could be de-
sired, but was up to expectations,
considering the fact that SO many
other entertainments took place on
the same evening, the proceeds Of
which were to be devoted to the
same cause. 1t is believed when
all returns are made that a goodly
sum will be realized.

met Wednesday night, April 25, and
elected the following officers: Pres
ident. c. W. Stack; vice president,
j. w. Wiley; recording secretary,
e. H. Libis; treasurer, Charles w.

LABORS' REALM

To the Labor Editor Of the
Press: The universal expression
of sympathy is the highest mani
festation that benefits the great
struggle of the human family. The
bond and heart throb of human
brotherhood are unbroken in this
awful hour of sorrow and disaster.
Americans will render every pos
sible assistance to assuage the suf-
ferings of our brothers and sisters
of San Francisco and vicinity.
From what l know of the grit
and grandeur of the character of
San Francisco's manhood, | am
confident that out of the tears, sor-
row and ruins of today we shall
soon witness a new AMI even more
glorious city by the Golden Gate.
