The Newark star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1909-1909, 1909-06-22


An aged woman came into the busi-
ness office of the STAR today and said
she wanted to give something to the
STARS Free lee and Outing Fund. She
fumbled in an old black silk reticule
and took out a worn little purse.
1T isn't much can give.'' she said.
"but I'll feel better for 1t when 1 think
how helped, even If only wee bit,
those poor little mites who may be
dying for breath of fresh air or a
cool drink"
And she gave the fund fifty cents. If
there was an equal amount left in the
little purse it's lean sides did not Clint
1T, but the woman who gave It seemed
happy as she left the office The 'STAR
would like to include the name Of this
latest of the proven friends of their
summer charity prominently In the list
Of those who have this year come to
the rescue of the sick. babies and their
mothers. But the stranger only shook
her head and smiled when she was
asked her name, SO this gift must re-
main unidentified.
Frederick Frelinghuysen came for
ward with donation of $25 for the
fund today. and Botkin & Durling
added their names to the list of those
liberal dairymen who have promised
milk for the outings.
The intense heat yesterday and today
must serve one good purpose. 1t can
not fail to bring home to all the great
need there will soon be for the STARS
work of relief for dwellers In tene-
ments. Those who experience discom-
fort despite all the modern artificial
means of counteracting the deadly heat
are asked to consider for moment the
plight of Sick baby in "a house where
ice is a luxury not to- be dreamed of.
Such a consideration must drive those
who have imagination straight to the
STARS fund as contributor For
1t is just this condition which the
STAR will relieve through free ice and
free outings to Coney Island, relieved
them just when such relief Is demand
ed and when 1t may save a life.
The Arcade Theatre will give all it's
receipts from its big extra perform
ances tomorrow to the STARS fund.
