A few vvetiks ago TIIK Her aovotod con-
tldotablospiro to a dcaciiption of the Iron
works of the city , and It was noted thntbusi-
nous in that line had suffered a heavy fulling
off on account of tbo small amount of build
ing the past summer.
Another Industry which has suffered from
the sijno cunso Is tlio manufacture ol sash ,
doors , blinds nnd all kinds of woodwork
turned out by tlio pinning mills nnd sash nnd
door fnctoi lea.
Any ono who has made n trip around the
city and noted the number of pinning mills
that have heo'i closed down for wont of work
can onaily bellovo that it his boon a hard
jear in this line of business At tlio present
time there nro some ton planing mills run-
nltiir , with u force of OS3 mon nnd nn annual
payroll of ? I7..I ! U. liven nt Its present low
ebb the business U of no small Impoitnnco to
the city in the matter of employing labor nnd
disbursing money.
The factories nt present operated are these
of Cady & ( Jrav. .lobn P. Coots. A. Roson-
bery , H. Hnirodom , Gate City Wood Works ,
Miller A , Gur.dorson , A. Mover , K. Slovens
& Son , Voirol Bros. Manufacturing com
pany , nnd Ball Bros.
Tlio Hist factory visited was that of Cady
& Giuy , which is located near therlvor bank ,
between Dodge and Howard streets Con
siderable of this ground i occupied by ttioir
lumber yards in which nro stored some
7,000,000 foot of lumber.
The lumber to bo used In the factory Is al
ready dry lumber when it an Ives from tbo
sawmills , but bcforo being made up it Is
loaded on the trucks nnd inn Into the dry
house. Piom there it pisses into the mill
pionor , which Is divided up into numerous
dopattments Hit oil tip with machinery for
turning out tlio diffcicnt kinds of work do-
nlicd. L-'or example , one purtof the build
ing is devoted to tl'ts manufacture of doors.
In another blinds are made , still another
turns out window frames Than there nro
looms vvhcio stair work Is uono and others
where countcis , ofllto railings , etc. , are mado.
Only n lew days ago this Hun shipped
thieo car loads of window frames to Chicago
to bo used In tna electrical building for the
Woild's fair Tnoy are now nt woik on ofllco
furnituroforsever.il Omaha houses , includ
ing .Blake , Bruce & Co. and thu American
lixprcss company.
Tto machinery in a plant of this kind is
very extensive- and vvlion it Is all In operation
the sight Is u most Interesting ono. Work
that would icqniront least half a day to bo
accomplished by ono mao by hand is done in
a voiy few minutes by the aid of some ma
chine. Window frames nro cut nnd mortised ,
door p mels nro sawed out nnd shaved down
to tlio desired shape , nuwol posts nro turned
out nnd all the other Inteuor finishings for
buildings aio made by machinery.
Mnnv dilToiont kinds of wood nro worked
up nnd ills veiy interesting to visit the yards
and have pointed out the dilTorcnt piles of
lumber with tbo hlstoiy of their oiigln.

is tied up in black walnut hold by tbo dealers
and mills throughout tlio count-y.
In tills mill and nbout the yards and ofllco
101 mon find employment at gooa wages.
The other mills mentioned nbovo turn out
work of u similar character and bv very
much tlia same methods , so much so that it
is unnecessary to enter into n detailed ac
count ofeacli ono.
The planing mill men , like most other busi
ness men In the city , nro very much inter
ested in the c.uiso of homo pationngo as ad
vocated by Tun Bri : , nnd some of them grow
( julto enthusiastic as they discussed Its
merits One would think that in a dull
season Ilko the piosont what littlowork thoio
was vvoiilu bo given to the local manu-
fn-tmcrs , and so it would In most cities , but
no * in Omaha
"Why , " said ono proprietor of a planintr
mill , "tho only building mooted in my pat tot
the city this fall wont out of the state for its
sash , doois and blinds An Omaha mill wni
given the job of living over and rcpnlilng
homo of the fiamcs so that they would lit ,
nnd that is nil that any of us got out of it. "
The cheapest class of work , or what is
known as stock work , such as goes into small
nnd eh01.p cottntros , can bo bouirht cheaper
in the lumber legions nnd shlpoed in heio
than It can ho made In Omaha , but there Is
no oxc'tiso whatever for the better class of
work being sent out of the city.
It Is said that architects are sometimes
plvon a peicentago by outside mills as an In
ducement for them to tuin the work to these
mills. I ho ml nn nichitoot the other day
complaining of how llttlo ho had to do. It
would bo Intel citing to know how much this
architect conn United to the dull times by
sending nvvnv from the city woik that ought
to have been done heio just for the snko of u
imltiy commission.
It would scorn ns if the contractors , who
ceitainly must bo most ilooplj Interested In
keeping the money nt homo , whore it will
outer into conornl circulation and by making
times good stimulate all kinds of building
operations , would glvo all their orders to
homo mills. Some ot thorn do , but others
take contracts for buildings nnd miicliasu
their mateuals irom distant mills , which
takns the money clear out of the sta'o and to
some distant point from which It Is not likely
to rotnin
Why should not parties intending to build
8pecif'\ , when they lot the conti.ict , that such
materials bo puicliascd fiom local mills.
Would it not bo to the intuiest of pintles
building houses for rent to Insist that the
contiacun tnij his supplies fiom homo mills ,
ns In that way ho would be incioasini ; the
number of woikmon In thucltv , who In their
tuin would Inciease the demand for houses.
iniMi minus\nr tun um.
Consldoiable ciedit has been given In Inn
Hi.I , to the Interest which the ludlns of tbo
cit > have taken In building up local Indus
tries , as shown bv the fact that the giealest
tmmovomcnt has boon In these lines which
tin ) ladks muchaso. Stiungo as it may
ccom , the loids of creation nro not
so pati lotto ns their lady friends ,
nnd it Is murb more difficult
to aiuuso thi'ir enthusiasm. For this reason
the cigar manufacturers have not experi
enced such n decided impiovumont as nave
some ot hois. Every day men ntohoaidtn
jomark that there Is no reason why clgais
can not bo made In Omaha as well as In any
other cit.v and that every smoker ought to
contilbntu lits nickels und dimes toward
building up that Industry and yet they go on
day latter dav smoking their old eastern
brands , It Is too much trouble for them to
look up Omaha brands to take their place.
Theio is ono Omaha lady nt least who pro
poses to lefonn her husband in this respect ,
One day thu past wcok she dropped Into n
local cigar factory nnd asked for samples of
the bust buinds of cigars , explaining that her
husband was nn Inveterate smoker , but that
bo always bought eastern cigars and that she
proposed to convince him that Omaha cigars
won ) Just as good nnd that ho should keep
his money in the city.
Otio patriotic woman of tbls stamp Is worth
moio to n city than n wholu room full of men
smoking eastern cigars.
Said the manager of ono of the largest , dry
goods stoics in the city , "our cloak sale's
have been unusually heavy this fall , especi
ally in the line goods. I can see no reason
for It as times nro close and people inclined
to bo economical , except that TUB BKK has
shamed a good many out of the bablt ot
sending away for goods ot this kind. You
Imvo no idea bow many people lu Omaha
havn been in the habit of sending awav for
tbolr dry goods , not because they could got
any better quality or save anything In the
price but just for the sake of point ; nblo to
toll their friends. Ibis came from Chicago , or
Mew York or Boston. I bavo in mind now n
lady whoio husband bu thousands of dollars
n Omaha real estate who buys all her drv
goods nt Marshall Field & Co'n. In Chlcaizo. "
Naturally the room of the Manufacturers'
nnd Consumers' association has become dulto
a plaro for the oxchatipo of news affecting
tbo numifneturintf Industries of the state.
Evorv move mndo In trade circles Is care-
fullv'notcd and nothing Is so small as to c -
cnpo the attention of thc o vvldo-awnko busi
ness men. If the retail dealers who have
declared themselves for homo patronage nnd
are honestly carrying It out could hear all
Iho favorable comments made on their no
tions In the association rooms nnd nn the
streets they would feel that they vvCM rep -
p ild In advertising alone for all that they had
done.
Manufacturers cannot bo too careful In
practicing what they preich , as the eves of
the public are upon them and ns small n thing
as n label , a check or n letterhead bearing
thuimpilnt of some outsldo printer Is note J
nt once and commented upon bv Iho con
sumers. Only a few days ago a lady sent
word to Tnr. BFF that she had purchased n
package nf n certain kind of goods put up In
Omaha and that the label was printed lu Mil
waukee. In this case the explanation was
that the labels were pilntod bofoio the homo
pationngo movement was started nnd that
the manufacturer In question had slnco then
placed his orders for printing with an Omaha
house This shows that the consumers are
thoioughly In earnest nnd that no offence
ngalnst homo patronage on the paitofn
manufacturer would bo overlooked.

Now would it not bo fair while inquiring

W. J. rioronco Is dond. "Billy" Florence
lie was to his friend * nml admirers , and
"Billy" ho was to hnndtods of thousands of
Americans. The nnino may aunRost fnrail-
larlty , but It really marks tlio nfTootlon of
tno masses , mid ho had no waunor admirers
than thosoju Omaha. To thcso his memory
Is fragtant of nil that Is gonlil , and his
call from the mundane stage to the unknown
hoyond sent a pang of sorrow to many a
heart In this city.
It Is scaroolv tnoro thaa nlno months slnco
ho appeared In Omaha In conjunction with
that other beloved comedian , Joseph JofTor-
son. On S iturday. February 7 , they pre
sented "Tho Rivals" and "Heir nt Law , " and
the newspapers of that time record two bril
liant events. As Sir Lucius O'Tripgor and
Zoklal Homespun Mr. Florence churmod two
magnificent audiences and made n standard
for nil futnro coiipaiisons. Ho had visited
Omaha many times , ana his last engagement
ciowned him a king of comedy In the hearts
of thousands
After the evening performance the two
actors bccnmo tlio guests of the editor of Tim
Ut'p. They viewed the beauties of the Bco
buildlnp with nvldont do light anil followed
xvlth uninlstaicnblo Interest the various me
chanical processes in the making of a great
daily paper. Mr. Florence stopped up to a
printer's sum a and Indicated the places of
the several letters , recalling the fact that ho
guidnntcd from u printing oflico to the stage.
The little patty then adjournnd to the French
restninnnt in the building and spent a do-
llghtful hour In discussing a tempting
supper.
Mr. Florence was dressed In a dark gray
frock suit , and his clean Miavon , Jolly IOLO
was wioathod In smiles. He was in the pink
of condition with all the evidences of good
living. An English tnonoclo was sctowsd
Into his richt ojo , hut his loft had a merry
tumltlo and was unmistakably liish ,
The three men whoso lives stand for so much
of human achievement found in the stage and
the press common giound for genial discus
sion , and drifted into a reminiscent mood of
delightful inteicst. lu the course of the
latter Mr Floienco spoke of having called on
Colonel Mlko Sheridan that day and learning
for the ilrst time that ho was a biothor of
General Phil Sheridan. That reminded the
actor of a story , unu no told it
For a number of succossivu years
ho had visited the battlollold of
Watctioo and employed a famous Trench
guide to show him the ground. Ono summer
the guide told him of thn visit of another
American , "a lectio man with to head of
Nauoloon. " The guido was astonished to
tiud that the llttlo man Know moio about the
battle than ho vho had been a nartof It. Ho
finally produced a card from which It appeared
tliat the man who looked hko Nnpoloon was
Goncial Sheridan. The roaaor mav imagine
how interesting this and other anecdotes
were when related with diamatic amplitude
by an artist at story tolling. This one was
of sucn special intoicst that it was
recorded In Tin : Bhu , and It has
been going the rounds of the press
over since. Mr. Florence was in his happiest
mood that night , looKlng and acting ton jeais
joungor than ho was. Ho acknowledged the
courtesy with a largo , handsomely framed
portrait of himself , with Ins antopiaph upon
the face or the paper. 'Chat portrait is now1
one of the cherished mementos of a pleasant
companionship and graces the walls of the
sanctum of the editor-in-chief.
It Is believed that Mr. Florence had moro
personal fuends than any actor living , and
among them woio princes , dukes and distin
guished men in all conditions of life. Ho
had a knack of making friendships that posi
tively roe to n genius. Ho shone line a
bright particular sun in a circle of happy
spitlts , no matter whether tlioy were high or
low. He had n witty amiability which en
deared him to all who came within the genial
clew of sunshine which ho ladlatcd , and ho
exerted the same fascination on the masses.
Ho was one of the best examples of a good
liver : no was in the Hist rank of story toll-
ois , and tlio inost charming of companions.
Ho know bow to dno , and whether in a pal-
uco or public surroundings , ho know how to
adapt himself to his company ; and whether
it was wino or dew or boor that ho drank , ho
made it the ambrosia of good-feltowbhip and
wit. Men of pleasure like the I'rinco of
Wales and the Duke of Beaufort were fond
of rioionco , and bihcmians in nil the arts
were eager to welcome him throughout the
world in the freemasonry of comradeship.
Mr. Floionco was boui nt A'bany , N. Y. ,
in Ibll , and ho learned the trade of a printer.
His Hist histrionic efforts ueiu as an ama
teur in Albany , unit as a member of tlio Mur-
ilnf.k l"ramn.tic nasonlutinn nf Nnw VnrU. Tn
Ibl'Jho ' cnmo under the notice of a Ivieh-
inond , Va. , manager , and was engaged for a
company that included George Jones ( after
ward famous as Count Joannes ) , Charles
Butko , the comedianMr. and Mrs. JohnSef-
ton and other favoiitrs of the dav. lu this
good society ho made his professional debut
December 'J.lSl'J.as 1'otor in "i'hoStianger "
After a season of four months nt the Hlch-
moud theater ho retuined to Now Yotkand
acted at Nlblo's garden.
IIU next engagement was at Providence ,
whore , during the engagement of the older
Booth , ho plajcd Macduff to the great'
tragedian's Macbeth Hotninlng to Now
York , ho was engaged to poifoun at Bioug-
ham'b L\coum. Ho tnero played his first
Irish chaiaotor. It had boon written by
John Brougham foi himself , but the author
tlrod of it and tin nod lto\er to hU young
supporter , wnoscoiod a ilatteiing success in
it , and by that success laid the foundation
for the series of dialect performances in
which ho has since become famous.
In lbr > J ho mauled Miss Maivlna Pray , on
actioss , and thoj made a successful sinning
tour , ho acting nr. Irish boy and she a Yankee
girl. They nftenvnrds made n great hit in
thoio chuiactursin Ungland , and returned to
America In IViT. Their rcportoiy nt that
time Included "Tno Iiish Immigrant , " "Tho
Yankee Housekeeper" and "A Lesson for
Husbands "
Mr Florence achieved his greatest early
hit ut the Winter garden , Now York , in
"Tho TicKot-of-Loavo Man , " and as n bur-
lobquo artist ho seemed a high distinction In
the portornnnco of light pieces nt Wallnok's
theater. Thc-so were " 1'no Returned Volun
teer , " "Orango Blossoms , " "Knight of
Aivn , " "Fin Dlavolo , " "Uho Lady of
Lvons , " Colleen Bawn , " otc The chief of
this bouquet of pieces , Tnm Taylor's
"Tlcltot-of-Lcavo Man , " was first produced
In Ameilca at the Winter garden , November
80. iwu.
Tlio production of "Cnsto" lu 1807 , mid of
"No Thoionghfaro1' at the Broadway tho-
nter , govo Mr. Florence nn opportunity for
the creation of two of his most hlghly-
prntsea characters George d Alroy and
OoonroUor.
Tor years , latterly , he was Identified with
"Tho Mighty Dollar , " In which ho created
the pail of tlio linn. Bnrdwoll Sloto. Its
tlrst production occurred at the Park theater
In Now York on September 5 , ISTIi It mot
u ith brilliant success fioin Maine to Cali
fornia , and \ \ as the last cieation of notp by
the dead comedian.
At the time of his death ho was In his ttilrd
season with Mr. Jefferson. Ills wlfo was In
Uuropo , They had planned an elaborate pro
duction of "Henry IV , " but that was Inter
rupted by thu union with Mr. JofTorson.
That combination was to have boon broken nt
the end of this season , and Mr. and Mrs.
Florence were planning a starring tour of
their own for next season with n repertory
of plays. It would have Included a new
drama by K. A. Barren of Chicago.
Mr. rioronco vvlulded n pen gracefully and
for years contributed a Cbnstmas atory to
tbo holiday number of an eastern aramntlo
paper These were afterwards gathered into
a volume and published under tbo title of
"Florence Fables. " Ho also kept a diary
that will doubtless provo valuably interest
ing. In it ho Jotted down his impressions of
notable ixirionagos in America and abroad ,
his opinion of cities and everything thnt
struck him as strange and curious. The
Bcribners once offered him 110,000 far this
diary , hut It ls prob' elf worth two or three
times that sura. / K

Mr. Florence was , a collector In several
ways. His books , 'especially ' of the old

bles.Ono of Floronco's ambitions was to have n
'theater of ills own in Now Yotk , but ho
would never permit tils friends to build It for
him. They were wealthy und willing enough ,
but ho wished to erect n house with his own
money. Ho would have succeeded but for
\Snll street the old story. Ho invested
about the sntno time that John Ua > iuond did ,
and with the sauio result. It wa a case o'
spilled milk.
The practical Jokes of Florence have fur
nished material to the paragraph writers for
nearly thirty years. Indeed ho made his
first hit on the stage Insomethtng of the sort.
Shortly after ho Joined John Brougham at
the Now Yoik Ljcuum ho took putt In n lonl-
Istio farce in which nctors , carpenters , etc. ,
were made tonppcarln thoirpropor persons.
Mrs. Brougham was In a soliloquy on tlio
hoards , when n ( Junker gentleman Jumped up
In the body of thi' house and , crying "Yes-
It Is my wife Clementina' ' " rushed townid
the stage and tried to drag nway the ac
tress But a champion appeared in n
rcd-shlrtcd llro liuldlo from the gal
lery , who was about to pivo a "lamming" to
the Quaker when the police ai rested the
principals and tostorod the agitated theater
to order. Of course the po.ico , thu llromnn ,
the Quaker , otc , were tdl uctots , and the
farce ended with a general danco. John
Brougham had pla > ed thu part of the Quaker
and the llro laddie was Floronco. This role
decided the comical bent of the nutoi's
career
His original name was Conlon , but ho
adopted "Floienco" for the stage and after
wards had It legalized by the Now York
Icgislntuio.
An Omaha newspaper man thus describes
how ho Ilrst saw the comedian , and it Is
hardly necessary to ndd that ho has been a
warm admirer of Mr. Floionco 01 or since
"Tho first time I over went to n theater
was in a small Now YorA town whcro the
Florenceseroplnylng un engagement. It
was about fifteen years ago and they weio
presenting 'The Mighty Dollar' for the first
time In that rural community. As my father
was a minister and I was a mere boy ho was
naturally much opposed to my attend
ing theaters , so In order to bo pres
ent nt the porfotmanco I was obliged
to slip away from homo on some
piotext and to pro\ out being discovered in
the oppia house , I went up into 'nigger
heaven,1 as the second gallery was popularly
known. It was n I'reat night for mo. Sit
ting in the front row and leaning over the
railing , I saw not Florence , but the 'Hon.
Unrclueli Slote. ' 1 didn't have a piogram ,
and I cmcd not who the actors woro. The
only ones to whom I paid any attention weio
tho'stnrs. To mo they weio the real Sloto
and Mis GeneralGilllory. The led bandanna
protruding from Hop , Baulwell's coat tall
pocket , his reckless use of the English
language , his 'p. d. q's' and his 's o t's'
were the heighth of comedy , and Mis.
Gilllorv's 'Shades of the late General G ,
look down on mo , ' was the essence of humor.
For vvePtts I laughed over tiio quaint sayings
nnd comical situntionstland for many jears I
considered 'The Mighty Dollai' the funniest
show on earth. There was a moment , how-
o\or , when 4 considered the play most
seriously. On reaching homo after partaking
of the stolen sucots of tlio stage , I tiled to
enter without disturbing my parents I
failed and wtien 1 hoard iuv father's voice ,
in its sternest accents , desiring to know how
I had spent the ovcnlnp , my . ; noos shook. I
stammered but told the ttuth nt last , expect
ing nn outbreak of righteous wrath. 'You
had bettor go to bed , uud think no moro of
the sltow , ' was all ho said. "

Magnificent scenery , gorgeous costumes ,
beautiful young women , delicious music , and
nn all pervading air of luxurious life in the
Oiiont , is what will bo seen nt Boyd's now
theater this evening when the curtain rings
up on Donnelly & Glrard's "Natural Gas. "
No managers , it is said , understand the get
ting up of places of this description better
than do Messrs. Donnelly & Girnrd , and
thoio is cloganco , iichncss and completeness
of detail in their produc'ions. In short ,
"Natuial Gas" contains all the elements of a
popular success , for good music , beautiful
scenery , gorgeous costuming , pretty girls
and funny comedians are generally productive
of good results. Besides the pirticularly hi Ight
stars themselves , Mr. Cox has gathotod to
gether a company of artists seldom scon in
ono play. Those aio Miss May Ilowaid , a
star herself , who has loft her own burlesque
company to Join "Natural Gas , " Miss Annie
Mnck-B'erloin , who was for several seasons
with Harilgan and Hart's company ; Miss
ICittioKuisall , the now celebrated California
winir dancer ; the pretty Miss .Tossio Gard
ner , Clara St Maur , Jusie Anderson , Kitty
Allen , Fanny and Sagar Midgley , Mr.
George Murphy , the Dutch commedinn , nnd
so nro W. W. Block , late of the Henry K.
Dixoy compwy , Potnr Mnpk , foimoily of the
Docicstadoi's Minstrels , and Mr. Edward
Lawrence. With such a company as this ,
headed bv Mr. Donnoll.i and Mr. Glrard , It
Is no wonder that the "Natuial Gas" bright
ens up any locality they nro in , and that , the
theaters In which they play are packed to
the door. Thu engagement of "Natural
Gas" continue for four nights.
Commencing with a matinee today and
lasting duiing the week , with matinees on
Wednesday , Thanksgiving and Satuiday ,
"Tho Southerner. " n comedy drama by
Charles No\lns will occupy the boards at the
Farnain Street theater The play is tud to
bo a good ono and founded upon histoiie.il
facts Incidental to tlio early pirt of the war.
The pint is simple. Blossom , the piott\ little
h-yoar-old daughter of Edward and May
Audorsou , wealthy people 11 vingnt Nowbtirg-
oil-Hudson , is stolen b } Geoigc Hoynolds ,
the rejected suitor of May Andeison before

the child's face and sells her as n lln'lit-
coiorod negro to nn old , klim-ncnitod

deathbed George Kauiolds confesses his
guilt In stealing the child , and Colonel Lang ,
obtaining n furlough , ' accompanies Koboit
b.u Ic to his homo nnd acquaints the happy
parents with tlio secret of their child's dis
appearance. Mr Ulmrldi Novlns , who plays
thu star part of old 1)111 v ; "Lang , is un old time
actor , formany yoaisithKlstori , Downing
and other stars , and the part of "Old Bill } "
in his hands is n line place of acting. Llttlo
Marie Stewart , only 8 i'oars old , is regarded
as n phenomenon by .Lhasa who have wit
nessed her pot formnnttfof the dual part of
Oloviir Blossom. ThOothers of the cast nro
excellent , The sconovy. by Hunt ot No A *

The season ot the year has arrived when be
nevolent institutions feel the greatest call
upon their resources , nnd it is proper that
the community which recolvos the benefit of
their mluistiatlons should make it possible
for them to continue their noble work. Several -

Miss Hilliard comes to Omaha with the
highest endorsements , and the excellence of
hcrnitistio offoits is vouched for by many
who have listened to her. She was born of
wealthy patents nnd had every advantage
that riches and education can bestow. When
unfortunate pecuniary lovoisos oamo to Miss
Hilliard , she immediately milim ! her accom
plishments by opening classes in elocution ,
calisthenics , giving loeltnls and writing fash
ion and other articles for the Buffalo pa-
par3- The thought finally came to her that
her innate love of histoiy and
intense appreciation of the woiks of
Shakospoaio. together with her training in
physical cultuio nnd elocution , might bo put
to use in n novel manner , by blending in n
lectuio English historical plavs of Shnltes-
poaro with a poetical halo of fancy nnd fic
tion overhanging the facts. She oviuoitly
possesses n capacity for work which Goethe ,
Emerson , Balzac and other grant writois de
line as ono of tlio characteristics of genius.
Miss Hillinrd has spent two seasons giving
those lectures before literal y societies in the
east , in schools nnd nominalies for girls nnd
on the public platform. Her natural

OMVIIA , Nov 20 To the Editor of Tnr Hi u
Mos . every hospital in the east has n certain
dav in the year on which the general public
helps to carry on the good work. On "Hos
pital Sunday" all the churches take up col
lodions for these institutions. Every
Thanksgiving day the Gernnn hospital in
Philadelphia used to receive donations In
cash und goods to the amount of $10,000 to
5.0,000
Why could not something like that bo done
In Omnhaf After careful consideration we
liavo decided to huvo Thanksgiving day each
hear ns the donation dav of Immauuol hos
pital
In the first year of its operation this In
stitution has already done n great deal of
good work among poor suffering humanity.
In the Ilrst ten months wo had 12"i patlonts
nnd In most cases the very best results.
But , besides the heavy burden of a big
debt and no free beds er.dowod , wo have had
to have qulto a number of free patients. As
most ot the other patlonts have paid only f. >
per week , every ono will see that wo need a
great deal of help from the ronorous public
In order to carry on the good woik. Next
Thanksgiving day , November 2(1 ( , tno gonotal
publio of Omaha is hereby cordially invited
to visit cha Immanucl hospital to see what Is
going on thoioandto bring their donations
with thorn.
As the Sherman avenue motor car goes
right out to the hospital , we expect to SUP
many visitors and got many donations. I1 or
these who cannot come out to the hospital
with their donations wo have airangod so
that they can leave their gifts down In the
heart of the city The American Notional
bank will bo glad to receive donations In
money and plnco It to the credit of the hos
pital. P E. Flodman & Co , 1511 Capitol
