Attended There is much interest taken in the benefit card party and dance for the Nursery Home next Tuesday because people generally feel that children must be protected as the youngsters cannot care for themselves. The Home is located in South Cam eron street, and conducted by a board of managers of Harrisburg women who have a continual struggle to keep it going in a proper manner. This winter the work is more difficult than ever with the increased cost of food, the coal and blanket bills from last winter unpaid, and the interest on the mortgage overdue. The help in an institution of this kind is a very great expense which cannot ho cut down if the children are to have the hest of care. There is a matron who has full charge of the Home, she has had extensive hospital training and is therefore especially well titted for the caro of the children. A nurse with two Assistants to care for the younger ones and babies, a cook and helper, j a laundress and a man for the heavy j work and to attend the furnace. The | running expenses of the Homo are j about $450 a month, which could be j managed very well if some plan could lie made for paying off the mortgage ! and the back debts.

MUSGROVE'S 92ND BIRTHDAY Aged Resident Who Has a Keen Interest in Events of Today Will Greet Friends The many friends and relatives of Mrs. Sara A. Musgrove, of this city, will be interested to hoar that on Sunday, January 14, she will celebrate her 92nd birthday at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Albert M. Hauler, of 1100 North Second street. Mrs. Musgrove is one of the oldest residents of Harrisburg, and recalls with interest many of the incidents and experiences when Harrisburg was but a small village upon the banks of the Susquehanna. She remembers vividly the day upon which the first passenger train pulled into the city, in 1835, and delates with keen pleasure many incidents of the old Pennsylva nia canal days. Mrs. Musgrove was born January 14, 1825, in Boonsboro, Md„ and is the youngest daughter of Samuel Garman. While she was very young, her par ents removed to Haldeman's Island, 16 miles above this city, and it was here and in the neighboring town of Duncannon that her youth and middle life were spent. She recalls that, in 1841, while President William Henry Harrison was passing through the locks at the foot of the island on a canalboat, someone fired into the boat, and relates the consequent excitement in the country for miles around over this attempt upon the life of the country's President. On April 1, 18 45, she was married to William Musgrove, of Duncannon, and they removed to Harrisburg about 1883. Mrs. Musgrove has all her life been greatly interested in politics, and is a most ardent Republican. On election nights, she is as much interested as any man in the x-eturns, and she states she has not yet gotten entirely over the results of last November's election. Many of her friends express the hope that even yet she, with her sisters in the Keystone State, will be given the franchise, and it is certain that if given, the privilege will be exercised by lier. Her two daughters—Miss Alice Mus grove and Mrs. Albert M. Hamer—• plan a reception in her honor at the home on Sunday afternoon, from 2 to 4 o'clock, and It is hoped that as many of her friends and relatives as possible will be able to call and pay their re spects and best wishes to the aged woman.
