TO BE DEDICATED.

TO BE DEDICATED.
The Montefore Home for Chronic Invads IN
Eleventh ave. from One hundred and thirtyeighth 10
One hundred St, will be dedicated on
December IS. The cornerstone OF the building was
laid on April g. The institution is INTELLECTUALLY an
ornament to the city of New-York and the Home has
an interesting history. 1t has been in existence for
over four years and has hitherto occupied more
humble house at Eighty fourth-st. and Avenue A.
which was dedicated on October 90, 1884 when 1t
was founded to commemorate the hundredth year OF
the life OF Sir Moses Montehore, the great Hebrew
phllanthropst. At a meeting held in February, 1884,
the initiative taken by a large number of promi-
nent Hebrews, at which a committee was appointed
to determine tho form OF the commemoraon. At
another meeting held in March the committee re-
ported in favor OF a home for incurablcs. COM
mittee of representatives Of Mount Sinai Hospital,
the United Hebrew Charities, the Home for Aged and
Inirm and others, was appointed to form plans for
the Home. The movement taken up with eager
by the Hebrew population and resulted in tho
establishment Of the Avenue A Home.
But tho accommodations there were found In
sufficient, and after year 1t was resolved to erect
larger building. a small plot of land was bought in
the upper part of the city and great fair was held,
which resulted in raising $4,000 for the new
Home, success as astounding it pleasing to
the managers which caused them to sell tho plot Of
land they had already bought and purchase much
larger one which the magnificent building pow
almost completed erected.
The institution has been extraordinarily successful,
and at the last annual meeting, held In October, IL
resolved to amend the laws admit persons
OF other rel sious beliefs than the Hebrew Such
lberality in principle and action makes the continued
Of the institution doubly sure, and in the
Home t Will probably flourish TO preserve the
memory of Sir Moses Monteore for many generations.
