every particular und went off without
a hitch. All of which retlects great
credit on the director, W. H. Nickerson,
und those who nsslsted him.
The various tableaux, described ut
length in yesterday's issue, were fault
lessly staged und the entrancing pic
tures evoked vociferous applause from

The meeting was announced as re
cently as Monday, which, with the fact
that there were several other Important
gatherings about the city, mude the se
lection of last nicht nn unfortunate
one und probably accounted for the
small number present. However, whut
wns lacking In numbers wus counter
balanced by the prominence in charit
able work of the women und the busi
ness repute of the men in the guthering.
There were present Mrs. J. A. Rob
ertson, Mrs. W. D. Kennodv, Mrs. N.

Mr. Conncll chosen Chairman.
William Conncll, on motion of Mr.
Watres. wus chosen chairman, and J.
V. oakford secretary. Mr. Council
suggested that In view of the small at
tendance it might lie better to adjourn
until such time as a future meeting
could In the meanwhile he well adver
tised. The object, he suld, was un Im
portant one, und, while even so small a
gathering might pledge Itself liherully
for the object in view, the movement
might be given a greater and a more
lasting impetus by a larger meeting.
Mr. Watres took the same view us did
Mr. Conuell, und made a motion for ad
journment. Hefore the motion could be stated
Mr. Jennyn arose and said. "Perhaps it
would be better to get what we can out
of this meeting; 1 will be one of ten to
give J1.UU0 upiecc. and I'll be one of
twenty to give something else which
I'll explain later.
Mr. Watres withdrew his motion to
adjourn.
It was still Mr. Council's opinion that
an adjournment would be the wisest
course, tint he did not urge such uc
t loll.
"I will make the second subscription
of $I.Ulio," said W. II. Taylor.
"O. S. Johnson has authorized me to
pledge $1.0011 from him." said Mr. Con
uell. "I'll give a thousand dolhirs." nald W.
T. Smith.
"Put me down for a thousand," re
marked Mr. Council.
The live subscriptions mude a total
of S."),000.
Tbe other amounts in the above list
were quickly pledged.
The Minimum I stlinate.
Kurlier In the meeting inquiries de
veloped the fact that 4.r..(W0 was tin;
mi 11 1 ilium estimate for erecting two
thirds of the building exclusive of the
foundation which is built, nnd the dis
cussion indicated that $,10.(1110 was the
popularly desired sum. Mr. Jcrmyn. in
uildltlou to his pledge of $1,000, agreed
to be one of twenty to give $5(10 each, one
of forty to give $:'.,(!, and one of one
hundred to give $tlit und to give three
of two hundred subscriptions of $50
each. These propositions practicallv
divide the proposed fund into live
blocks of $10.0110 each.
The question of tire nroofing having
been raised. Architect Davis was asked
to explain in a general way the plans
for the building. He suld the plans are
for two-thirds, or a main structure and
one wing, of the whole building, which
will cost $tl0.0no. The two-thirds struc
ture can be completed at a cost of $15,
000; for fire proof construction $15,000
additional will be required, or $10,000 for
"slow burning" construction.
Mr. Jermyn's motion that the sum or
$50,000 be raised by subscription wus
carried.
A motion that the five subscribers of
$1,000 each constitute the finance com
mittee, offered by Mr. Helin. was adopt-,
ed ulong with Mr. Taylor's amendment
that Mr. Conncll be chairman.
Mrs. Ripple remarked that the ladles
associated with the Home had solicited
small subscriptions so frequently and
so arduously that their further effort
might hamner rather than encourage
pledges for large amounts, and she sug
gested thnt the finance committee of
men exclude the ladies from further so

upon Mrs. Ripple's suggestion, but the
brief discussion which followed left the
Impression that the committee will cull
upon the ladles for ild but will direct
their work In such manner us to obviate
the dilliculty feared by Mrs. Ripple.
Animal llusiucH Meeting.
It was remarked that the annual busi
ness meeting of the Home occurs on
Friday and the gentlemen were asked
for their opinion whether a public meet
ing would retard or aid the building
fund object. No decision v.-as reached,
but the matter, along with the point
raised by Mrs. Hippie, will probably he
decided by the committee today.
The meeting had lasted about an hour
when an adjournment was mude.
