Help Them Along-By the burning
of Ford's New Theater doth Street,, q
large number of people, male and
female, have been thrown out Of EN-
ployment, and many of them. by the
burning of their wardrobes, have lost
their all. A large number of our citi-
zens. sympathizing with Mr.. Ford,
rendered him a benefit, but he, with
characteristic generosity, waived it in
favor of his employees. During this
and the coming week entertainments
will be given for the benefit of the
sufferers, and 1t Is to be hoped that
our citizens will respond literally, and
thus aid them to make up. to a slight
extent, their losses. The Messrs.
Maeder have rendered to Miss Ritch-
ings the use of the Washington Thea
ter, and tomorrow night she will take
the benefit proffered her by a number
of Senators and Representatives. 1t
will be remembered that this complf-
mentary entertainment was to have
taken place at Ford's last night"

today. Those in character were made
in 1S4s. autographed and published
by F. & ]. Brown, 140 Fulton street,
