GAVE PASTEL CAKES
Those eating places out OF the broom
district contributed fancy sandwiches
and cakes frosted in pastel shades: the
places scattered through the polished
section gave their ranges for coffee

their dishes for dining.

the beans and other materials availa BILE
he was given cigar, 10000 of which

Priest Attends to the Spiritual
Requirements of the
Occasion

1t was Sunday. Father Caraher OF
st. Francis Church, out on Montgomery
avenue, attended to the spiritual re-
quirements of the day. Those disposed
of, he entered into the cleanliness
idea with a whole soul. His jurisdiction
was primarily over the dirt surround
ing the church, but it was extended for
blocks in every direction. Wonders
were accomplished. A stagnant pool
of water in front of the church was
driven into a sewer by the force of a
fireman's hose. Mud and other truck
were scraped and hauled away. At the
end Father Caraher said:

Sabbath, but in this case it is to the

Work

Millionaire Wii.4am Bradbury came
to the city yesterday morning and saw
the array of luncheon goodies spread
out in Market street near the ferry for
the benefit of the broomsters. Brad
bury saw an opportunity for cheap
lunch and made directly for the coun-
ter which was presided over by Mrs.
Thomas Palache and other members OF
the Outdoor Art League. The ladies in
charge filed the cup of the hungry
millionaire and gave to him of the
sandwiches, and then a broom was
placed in his hand and he was informed
of the spirit Of the day. But the mill
lionaire was not so in tune with the
labor proposition as he was with the
free lunch, and he threw the broom 10
the pavement and walked away with
out comment-save what was made by
the ladies at the booth.
