Arrangements for the Charity Con
cert to be Held in Ferguson's
Theatre This Evening.
PEOPLE TO TAKE PART IN IT
PRECAUTION TAKEN FOR A PROPER
DISTRIBUTION OF THE FUNDS
THAT WILL BE REALIZED.
Relief Committee Will Issue Orders
for Relief on Certificates Issued
by the Committees ot the
Parishes.
Tonight the much talked of charity
concert will bo held in Ferguson's theatre
nnd it is expected the affair will be Well
attended, as the advance sale ot tickets
is larue. The object of the concert is to
raise funds for the relief of the deserving
poor of the town and, as the cold weather
and hard times are still with us, the com
mittee will no doubt find many places
where the funds can be placed with good
results.
There have been a number of Inquiries
as to who will be responsible for a proper
distribution of the money that will be
realized on the concert and the Herald
is authorized to state that the general
committee has appointed a sub-committee,
or relief committee, that will meet twice
a week at the residence of Superintendent
J. J. Bradigan to issue orders to such ap
pllcants as may be found worthy of relief.
This committee is composed of the fol
lowing gentlemen ; Dr. D. W. Straub
president ; P. J. Gnug'han, secretary ;
Philip Blerman, Charles Radziewicz and
C. E. Tltmau. They will meet twice a
week while the funds last and Issue
orders for food, clothing and footwear, as
the condition of the applicants may
demand ; nnd the orders will be filled by
merchants to be designated by the com
mittee upon presentation by those receiv
lng them. In no case will cash be given,
so that there will be no possibility of the
funds being turned from the channel for
which they are ip'fnded, nt least not
while the committee can exercise
any control, and all merchants are
cautioned not to give any cash on
orders. This precaution is taken as an
offset to people who may secure orders
for food, or clothing, or both, and then
try to sell them in order to secure money
ior drink. It is hoped all the merchants
will co-operate with the committee in
this connection nnd not be induced to
cash any order by an offer of sale at less
than the face value.
The committee has also taken all pre
cautions possible to see that only the
worthy poor ot the town nre relieved aad
to that end has requested each church in
the town to have a parish committee of
two, or more, members appointed to
certify to the worthiness of applicants
for relief. Each applicant will be required
to present a certificate from the parish
committee before an order for relief can
be secured. These certificates will set
forth the needs of the applicants.
Prof. F. Zeitz will be conductor of the
concert, which will include members by
St. George's Cornet Band, Misses Yost
and Wasley,Mlss Eva Brewer, The Ladles'
Singing Club, Mrs. G. W. Wasley, Miss
Millie Schmidt, Miss Helen Price and
Miss Sallie Wasley. The band will render
a number of selections and the balance of
the program will consist of vocal and In
strumental solos and duetts.
