To Hold Annual Donation Day To morrow to Help the
 Little Ones,
LARGE AMOUNTS EXPECTED
Work of Orphanagc Has Increased and Hence Recent Demands on
 lt Are Large.

One of the principal events in the life of this clty's charitable lines is the yearly donation day of the above named institution, For upwards of 10 years the recurrence of the day has brought gladness to the hearts of the asNlums little ones and its managers Thursday next Nov, l9 has been ap- pointed for this "chldrcn's feast" of 1908, and their very best friends great ly desire to celebrate the event in the usual orthodox way, by having from their nelehborIng hencfactors 2 genor- ous collection in behalf of the asylum and It's numerous charges
 As the work of the orphanage has constantly increased, as tho demands made upon it In recent years have grown larger, the needs of the institu- ton have correspondngly multiplied without it's resources having increased in due proportonate measure. The want of money, therefore has been a limitation upon tho asylums useful ness during the panicky part of this year which now according to the gov ernment's Cheery crop report. fairly rings with prosperity. All tho reasons. therefore, whether adverse or prosper ous hitherto advanced why the asy- | lum should still cast itself on tho pub lie for support by resortlng once twelvemonth to the cxpedlcnt of its donation day plan, arc reducihlo to this one namely, the orphans need our assistance
 l In view of a bettormaut of general ! business conditions throughout our | fortunate country. the orphans may surely expect an extra sharo of good | things on Thursday next Their friends will rally to their aid as they have al- ways done In the past Their Thanka giving will he one of ioy for them, for revival of good times indirectly makes good times for them There are |hpt few in New Haven and vicinity ! that are not able to contribute a llt- tie to this good work As the widow < dropped her small coin all her sub stance into the box at tho temple of Jerusalcm so will the orphans friends according to their means offer their gifts.
 Every dollar contributed is carefully extended in competent direction. and the largest possible value for every penny is secured An people arc not homeless hundreds of orphans would be such were t moi for their Kind friends and while some folks arc home less than others fl Is hoped that many vii be found at home when the col- lector calls,
