The WOman's Christian Association
Home.

ANSWERS 10 The QUESTIONS OF THE DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS AS TO ITS PURPOSES, ETC.
Mrs. Rachel H. Strong, president OF the
Woman's Christian association, and Martha s.
Pomeroy, vice president, have made a report
to the District Commissioners in which they
answer the questions recently submitted to
them as follows, saying: 1.-The Wonan's Chris
tian Association Home" Is the name by which
we are known. Our purpose is to care Tor such
homeless and friend.eSS women as appeal to US
tor aid, giving food and shelter TO those temper
arily in need; helping many often to help them
selves. We have six old ladies, who are be-
yond helping themselves, who, by the pay
I men' When removed there are Others eg
always ready TO take the vacant
places. There are Others who paya nominal sum
for board tor weeks and months at q time. who
have been disabled and cannot pursue their
vocation till rest is restored. But a large pro-
portion OF those who come to US are without
heads; these, while they remain at the home,
protected, fed aud clothed, are required to rem.
der aid in the domestic work. II will readily
be seen that in the small amount OF board re-
quired, or aid rendered, there is no equivalent
really for what is done for them. We also have
a Foster Home" caring for children who are
deprived of their natural protectors by death,
desertion or sickness. A slight sum is paid US
for the temporary aid thus given. A school
teacher is provided for these children.
The Home building. No. 1719 18th street, was
built In 1874 by an appropriation from Con-
gress, and cost so: 600 1t is $50 feet long. so
feet WIDE and has Is rooms in the adult home,
IL in the Foster home. small frame build
Ing, called the nursery, is on the ground out
side of them. The ground Is $50 by 140 feet.
Valuation $50 900. Thirty-five inmates are Ia
the adult home and 40 In the Foster home. In
1885 LAD inmates were cured for in the adult
home SO in the Foster home and Is mothers
and babies. Daily average: 30 In the adult
home and 80 children in the Foster home; in
fants. 4.
The original plan of this building, made by
the government architect, was In the form of
the letter 7, but the appropriation allowed only
to build the stem part We trust at no distant
day that the original plan will be carried out,
thus enabling US to lengthen the cords
and strengthen the stakes, and SO care Or the
many who apply TO us. In this capital city
women are induced TO come for positions in
some OF the departments for pensions, or for
some insane idea. and frequently without
means or friends here. With the aid OF sani-
tary officers we have been able TO return to
distant friends many Of these unfortunate
ones. In several instances We have given aid
and comfort to women with an incuraole
disease, for to such is no hospital door open
In our city, and though we have not the hos
pitai requirements, have provided ~ best we
could.

The Commissioners reply to the letter OF the
Secretary of the Treasury asking for more detail
in the District estimates is not considered
satisfactory at the Treasury department.
1t is likely that the recommendations Of Judge
Durham will be complied with, and the
estimates sent to Congress with those
items under dispute not approved.
All the correspondence on the subject will
probably be finished also, and the Commits
sioners will have TO fight it out with the ap-
