A Holiday Treat for the Orphans
Mr. James H. Munson, president of the First National Bank, gave the orphans of the Protestant Orphan Asylum a treat to-day. He chartered a special car and brought them down town to the corner of Conception and St. Francis streets, where they were served with a delightful lunch of turkey, oysters, celery and other good things. After spending a very enjoyable hour at the lunch, they were taken to the Princess Theater, where seats had been reserved for them, to witness the performance of the Mystic Midgets. It was a very thoughtful act on the part of Mr. Munson and was a very enjoyable treat for the orphans.
