II anyone in Newark misses his

happily engaged in trying to corner

Even the prisoners in the county
penitentiary and jail, the inmates of
: The Essex County Hospital for the In
s.sne and the Almshouse charges will

Collecations of money and fruit were
taken I'M in all the public schools for
Thanksgiving purposes. In order to
avoid any appearance of discrimina-
taoi and to prevent hurting the feel
ings of any of the pupils, the money
is not used for individual charitable
cases. Each schools collection is dis
ttibuted among the institutions in the
ueighborhood. Tine real object, Of
course, is not SO much to benefit the
institutions as to teach the children
a lesson in generosity.
The amount contributed in the the
high schools Dis in q, similar manner
divided up among the city's charitable
organizations.
The Bureau of Associated Charities
viii anonymously provide dinners Tor
more than one hundred families. The
provisions will be sent direct by gro
GERS TO the various homes.
In addition the bureau serves as
clearing house for the churches and
various socieis to prevent duplication.
All the churches will remember the
needy among their own parishioners.
The larger churches as a rule send
out twenty or twenty-five baskets, and

Thanksgiving for that reason"
Thanksgiving spreads have never
been given the prisoners in the coun-
~ penitentiary at Caldwell. This
year, however, Richard +. Malta,
chairman of the prison committee of
the Board of Freeholders, decided
that the prisoners should be allowed
to share in the Thanksgiving festiv-

tertainment during the repast.
