We feel sure that' a large sum will be realized, and. of course, money is our first and crying need. We can not keep the children at the other orphanages without paying something toward their support. We have sent 100 of our- children to. Los Angeles, and it is too much to expect the sisters there to bear the great ad ditional expense. The money sent to The Call has come as a godsend to us and relieved us of care that we hardly knew how to meet. -We can not express our gratitude to The Call and to those who have so nobly responded. God -will bless -them." Children Scattered Of the children, nearly 600, who y ere brought from the burning building in such a marvelous manner through the calm courage of the sisters, but few are now in town. , Besides those who have gone to the orphanage at Boyle heights, Los Angeles,, many/ have gone to Santa Barbara, others to Hollister and a large number to Santa .Cruz, the sisters having homes in jeach of those places. Nearly 50 of the older girls are at the St. Francis technical school at Geary and Gough streets, conducted by the sisters, and in 'reality, a postgrad uate school for those*" girls, who pass the age for the orphanage and have no one to care for them in the world. ,The sisters were sadly worn and wearied yesterday after the excitement and danger of the day before and the great demands made upon their execu tive ability in disposing of and caring tor the children, but they were contin uing their arrangements for the future with unabated energy. It is probable that the children will be together within- a fortnight again. Arrangements ware made yesterday to establish the orphanage for the present in the big building at Ellis and Frank lin streets, where the sisters conducted their school before the flre, but leased since then until recently to a business firm. It is now vacant and will be put in order at once. It is felt, by the sis ters that it is particularly necessary to get the children in the city again. "It is hardly fair," said one of them yesterday, "to keep the children away from those who belong to them. Think of a father with several children under our care whom we have had to send to Los Angeles; or a poor hard working mother — is it kind to keep her child where she is denied the. pleasure-, of seeing it occasionally^ We must have all the children back in the city." Supplies Needed '\u25a0- ' For those who are not able to meet the primary demand for. money, another opportunity will be vouchsafed to help the sisters and their orphan charges. Furniture will- be needed for the new home. Little single iron beds with the proper complement of linen, bedding and pillows, china, glass, chairs and -tables. Then, too, provisions will be needed. It takes a great deal to feed 500 little hungry children. Clothes of all kinds will be acceptable, too. It likewise takes a, great many garments to clothe orphans who have had every thing burned. People who lost their all four years- ago will doubtless ap preciate the predicament of these little women and - respond with much. Promise of J.hcnecessary school fur niture has already_come from a furni ture company. ';_\u25a0;> Then there is another thing which is altogether > a matter; of ; sentiment, vbut to those, who know something of the heart of a'child it will appeal as strongly ! as- the' need- for tables and chairs. As the little orphans wept-be side the burning; wreckage of their former home, ; many tears went up for the dolls -that" died 'therein, for' the favorite ! picture jbooks, , the games, the woolly- lambs '• and the" other animals, grotesque; ".perhaps, j but beloved, - that were now. a part of- the general scheme of things. .: ,;.
