PITTsBURG, May 20.-Following a
whirlwind popular subscription CAM
paign OF ten days. the members OF the
Young women's Christian association
OF this city have raised a building fund
OF over 100000, thereby earning an
endowment fund OF 100000 from II.
G. Frick for the purpose Of building
a large permanent home for the asso-
citation In Pittsburg.
Seldom has such a remarkable cam
palgn been conducted here. and Pitts.
burgers were given many surprises by
the young women In the manner OF
collecting funds for a noble purpose.
The response was quick, generous and
beyond the expectations OF the most
sanguine. The achievement has also
given Pittsburg the distinction OF being
the first city In the United States to
raise building and endowment fund at
the same time.
As the time drew near the close. lack
ing several thousand dollars Of the re-
quired amount, Il became intensely ex-
citing. Hourly bulletins were posted
on a large banner which hung over the
door OF the associations headquarters
here. This feature interested thou
sands OF persons.
II was the original intention Of the
association TO close the campaign on
Friday night. However, when the
time arrived the fund lacked almost
$4,000.
Another day was added. and the
members OF the association, who were
divided into teams. made q last tour
OF the city. Excitement was intense.
and every one worked with amazing
energy. As o O'Clock Saturday night
drew near. the time set for the close
Of the campaign. almost $4,000 was
needed. At 8 O'Clock came a special
delivery letter from a man who de-
sired that bis name be not made pub
lie. Incloscd was a check for $4,000.
Other pledges, ranging from $50 10
$500. came In at Intervals. A short
time before o'clock the telephone bell
rang. and Miss NJ. 8. Dunn OF New

This contributor also desired his
