No less than 200 refugees were
given splendid breakfast this morn
ing at the Union station.
They were hungry and tired and
worn out with stress of mind and
body.
In the same splendid manner as
.npon the day previous, the refugees
were fed and given to drink of the
best coffee and tea that could be made
And upon the face of each and every
one, who partook of the bounty of the
people Of this city came a grateful
smile of appreciation and thanks.
All day yesterday the telephone
bell in the office of the mayor was
ringing, and anxious inquirers who
wanted to do something to help in
the plan of feeding the refugees, were
inquiring of the time of the probable
arrival of the next train from the

of another train. Just at six o'clock
a message came to him stating that
there would be a train through this
morning.
AS the notification came too late
to lie given publicity in the press of
the city, the working committee on
feeding the refugees were in a qusnd-

The plan worked spIendidly and be-

by the ladies came pouring into the
designated place until the front lobby
Of the Sentinel Office was filled to
over flowing. It required a large exx
press TO convey the goods to the old
Union station and there is was found
that many had already taken their
packages to the depot.

again worked to prepare the lunch ;
and food kept coming in until near

This morning not less than one

and readiness. The same plan of
feeding them was again put in opera
