This was the day of the crisis in the
Y. w. c. AS war for its $3.50. 900, and
the Y. w. c. AS four hundred fought
it as was fought another crisis at
Gettysburg many years ago They wo1i.
for the day at least. They brought in
s20,SS7 In subscriptions, with more in
dividual contributions than they ever
received in single day before. And
the total ran up to $206, ,953.
But there are only two days left
and though the minute hand has
climbed enthusiastically past the hour
hand that spells failure on the face
of the great clock, there is still $43,041
TO be raised by midnight Friday-or
else all this splendid tight will have
gone for naught.
They're pretty nearly of indomitable
courage, those four hundred crusaders
of the Y. w. C. A. With every pros
pect of failure staring them in the face
last night they went out at sun-up this
morning and brought in William 7.
Carriers subscription for $1,500, Hahne
ds Co. S $1,000, Mrs. John F. Dryden for
$500, former Judge Kruegers for $500
more, Lauter & Co. and Mehlon Drake
for the same amount.
But they didn't stop at that; they
kept going and Miss Eleanor MeCarter
reported a gift of $3.50 from twelve So
ciety girls. Mrs. Hoag showed how ten
little girls in the Newark Orpanh Asy-
lum were interested by turning in their
subscription of a dollar, and that pret-
ty nearly brought tears from every
body who heard the announcement
made. The employees of the Standard
Oil Company gave $3.50, the employees
of the North American Insurance Com
pany s25 Mr.. Simmonds brought in s400
from the Weber Baking Company and
William C. Stainsbury gave $100 each
for his wife and in memory of a de-
ceased sister
Two hundred dollars from Clarence
H. Kelsey, $50 from Local No. "a, Uni
ted Plumbers, and $500 more brought
in from the Oranges by Mrs. Warner
helped to swell the splendid total.
Down at the Y w. C. A. headquar-
ters the lid has been thrown off in the
face of the dire need The card system
has been put into the discard. Fervent
thanks will go up for every dollar that
any citizen will send in.
Cheers Rock the Roof.
How desperate is the campaign now
may be imagined when 1t Is known
that cheers rocked the roof of the
Turnbull building at half past noon
today when one of the team captains
announced that Engine Co. 10, of New
ark. had subscribed a dollar for each
member of 1t, ten in all, officers and
mon.
Then came good news from a half
dozen police stations; word came, too,
that the teachers of the schools were
calling upon their pupils for quick and
little" contributions to the fund, and
finally Miss Mabel Easton, the general
extension secretary, reported that even
the employees of the big factories and
other Industrial plants about Newark
are going to "dock" themselves from
a half to q dollar apiece in order to
make that fund come true.
Mrs Chester r. Hoag added a
pretty touch OF sentiment. Each of the
mothers on her team has pledged her
self to see that each Of her daughters
and sons subscribe one dollar for every
year of their ages. Five hundred dol
lars is figured from that source at the
very least
over in Harrison Miss Easton has
ranged up the 1000 employees OF the
General Electric, who are coming forth
with a big subscription at the last.
And this very encouraging letter was
received by the committee from ]. p.
Morgan's financial partner. George w.
Perkins. in New York:
