The Abandoned Baby and the Infan
AsyIuMS.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
the little ones to unto me- for of such
the kingdom of heaven"
Apropos OF the article published In THE STAR of
the 10th inst, OF troubled and detected mother
applying to the several asylums OF this city for
the admission of her infant and being refused at
each and every one OF them, would like to In
quire through the medium OF your paper whether
1t IS not compulsory for these so-called charitable
institutions to open wide their doors to the help
less and impecunious fOundllngs when seeking
shelter? 1t Is lasting stigma cast upon the charity
or this city that through the force OF circumstances
mother was compelled to abandon her infant
when every effort had been made by her for its
care and protection at the aforesaid asylums; and
1T is also very noticeable fact that she was dis
eliminated against at one OF the places {the re-
porter does not state the the otherS) on
account OF religious principles. When Congress
makes Its liberal appropriations for the support of
these institutions there never Is an amendatory
clause prohibiting the benefits from accruing to
any particular sect, denomination belief, and if
bigotry, sectional hatred &C., are to be the chief
characteristics OF Washington's asylums the time
Is ripe for revOiuttoniZing these systems
