Throughout the scason the attendance O
MONDAYS has been large, falling Oft on Tuesday
and Wednesdays, aud increasing on Thursday
and Fridays. This is accounted for by some o
the mothers, who say, :. You see we eau wea
| to wash them" Thursday and Frida,
they are again prcsentablc, and another wash
ing OH Saturday makes them all right for Sun
day and Monday. The following sums have
been received since previous acknowledgments
| Mrs Reese, 81; . friend, IS; Mrs. E. E.
Admins, $25; Mrs Nancy s. Porter, SIS; e. J.
| Wallingford, s.; patient, 50 .euts; cash, 81

The funds now on hand will pay tue expenses
OF last week and shout three days in this week,
after which, il no more is received, the work will
close for the season, as no debts will be con-
tracted. The necessity for its continuance a
lew weeks longer Is greater than at any time
during the present season, as more children
are now suffering from summer complaints
From now till the cool weather of September Is
the most trying season Tor the little ones IN
Chicago 1t IS earnestly hoped that, notwith-
standing the hard times aud the urgent calls
;or charity in other directions, the people OF
Chicago will not allow the Floating Hospital
to close its work for want OF money to meet the
expenses so long rs the necessity for its work
continues.
Contributions may still be sent to the North
western National Bank. or to 0. {. Gibbs, 130
Dearborn street.
In view Of the fact that accusations against
brewers charging them In vague and general
terms with the practice of adulteratfng their
products now and then appear in the public
prints, and are at times made by public speak,
ers, the United States Brewers Association at
its seventeenth annual Convention at Mil
Waukee, Wis.,, passed the following resolution:
~ hereby resolsed. To request the President
clatlon to Issue public declaration setting forth
that this Association countenanccs the use Of 1esit
imate materials only in the brewing Of malt
liquors, and denounces az inadmissible and repre-
hens1ble Inc substitution OF any others: avoWing
further, that il proof Is b1ousht against any mem
Der OF this Association Of adding noxous drugs
OF any kind to his brewingB, such cufpable prac-
tice shall BE- deemed sufficient for the e1pul-
sion Of such member; declaring further US friro-
ious and false any and all accusations charging
upun brewers the admxture Of de1eter1ous or un-
wholesome substances. unless such charge ia made
IN explicit terms and is substantiated by naming
tons Of this nature not corroborated by facts dis
tinctly stated and capable Of proof

qualified for the effort; but. rising above the |
weaknesses Of declining health, she accomplish !
