tributions Before End

GIFTS FROM ABROAD
Wage-earners Asked to Give Toward
|,
New Hospital-The Western Drama,
"Tatt!ers," Friday.

With contributions well on the way
to secure SAL 900, it is sincerely hop
ed that all who can will send in their
subscriptions before the end of the
campaign and in time to give the
Executive Committee ample oppor-
tunity to make their report on the
18th.
Every wage Garner in Alexandra
and the adjoining counties SHOULD
l.remember that no class Of people
need hospital more than they anc
i'they should also show their appre-
citation of the benefits Of hospital
by adding something to the hospita
fund. A contribution of l0c a week
means $500 year, so by slight
sacrifice everybody could make con-
tribution of from S1.00 to $500.
A factory with fifty hands giving
l0c a week, would mean $500 pei
week, $1,000 per month, and $4,000
for ten months, 1-2 of this sum, o.
sc a week wou5J lr.ean hundred dol,
lar contribution. There are a larg
number of factories in Alexandri;
which ought to take enough interest
in the hospital to unite their en-
ployees in making factory contrl'
button.
Under the provision Of the resoiu
ton of Council making the appro-
priation for the City, free ward =
i'prorided foI; but everyone snoulG
lesirc to see every ward and room il
he building in the most modern up
to-date character for none OF us
know how soon we may be calling fol
the assistance of the hospital and
therefore it is hoped that every citi-
zen will make an effort to contribute
something, no matter how small to-
ward the fund before the close Of the
campaign.
The Western Drama "Tatters" vii
be given at the Opera House Frfsa,
evening by the Washington Dramatic
Club for the benefit of the hospita
fund and it promises to be mos
entertaining and interesting affair
All who desire to spend pleasan
evening and at the salTe time assis
the hospital, should secure tickets
| from the Lady Managers, the Trus-
| ees, or the Executive Committee
! Reserved seats will be on sale at
| Warfield's Drugstore and tickets pur
.hased from the various committee
an be exchanged for reserved seat
on the payment Of 15c In this con-
1ection it may be stated that til'
Dramatic Club have rendered thei
i services absolutely without COSTS eX-
| cept for a few costumes and the
| printing has been donated by Messrs
| Rose of the Hill Printing Co., am
| George E. Markell & Co. The ma
terial used in the printing by Th'
E. Morrison Printing Co.. of Washing
ton and the Opera House through th'
courtesy of Mr.. Braxton Smith
| Manager.
Special attention is directed to tn
rather curious fact that every con
tribution received this morning wa
| from friends Of the Hospital, living
away from Alexandria. One frosl
tLewis Smoot of Washington, D. {
was received, another from a frienc
!, n Massachusetts who does not wis!
her name published and one from
| Rev. John G.. Scott, Of Richmond
| 1t surely seems that when our out
side friends are so liberal that thos
who have not yet contributed VII
make a contribution at once.
