operation and the offenders have until a
few days ago, with rare exceptions, sue
ceeded in evading the officers whenever
they would lay plans for raid.
On Monday several arrests were made

No Surprise After All.

It has often puzzled us to know how
such Instruments as the great Decker
and Chickering Pianos could be sold at
such low prices as Hume, Minor & Co.
sell them. We visited their warerooms
on Ninth street ard found the largest
stock of pianos and organs in the city.
and upon learning the details OF the
business, how they economized in a
hundred WAYS, it does not surprise us 10
know that these gentlemen can and do
sell pianos and organs at from l5 10 20

RETREAT FOR THE SICK
Receipts and ExpenGItures-IfsC Cha
rit2ble Work-An EBdou-
Inent Wanted.

The annual meeting OF the Board OF
Managers of the Retreat for the Sick
took place yesterday, a full attendance
of the old and newly-elected members
being present.
From the presidents and treasurers
reports it is found that the total receipts
during the year were S6,406.27; ex-
penses. S6,309.2j. The Retreat has given
1898 days of board entirely free, in
cluding medical and surgical treatment,
medicines, and nursing. There are seven
children in the children's ward, and
never during the year has there been
Jess than five. These children are sup
ported principally by the Presbyterian,
two Episcopal, and the Baptist cot funds.
Miss Charlotte NJ. Bulkley, OF South
port. Conn, has lately endowed a cot IN
memory Of a brother and sister buried
here.
There is a contract existing between
the Retreat and the railroad companies
for the care of their sick and wounded
EMPLOYEES The white employees can
be comfortably accommodated, but the
provision for the colored is very imper-
feet. The Board of Managers are anx-
ious to erect suitable building for this
latter class on the grounds, which are
extensive. Funds for this purpose are
most earnestly solicited.
The most pressing need at present is
an endowment fund which would enable
the Retreat to respond favorably to the
numerous appeals for help which it is
now compelled most reluctantly to de-
cline The extreme poverty OF persons
in many sections of the country and in
this city makes it impossible for them to
pay any board. and the Retreat is not
as the rate it charges even for pay-pa-
tients is small Some appeals are so ur-
gent that the kind-hearted lady mana
gers feel compelled to render assistance,
AMI thus incur debts difficult 10 pay
without aid from a generous public. A
few Of our philanthropic citizens might
readily raise an endowment fund that
would enable this noble institution largely
to increase It's usefulness.
Twcnty-eieht different physicians
have been in attendance IN the institu-
tion during the year 1t is the earnest
desire OF the lady managers that the
medical profession should patronizo the
institution and have equal rights and
advantages.
The following officers were elected
Mrs. William !. jenkins, president
Mrs. Edward Cohen. first vice-president;
Mrs. J. Taylor Ellyson, second vice
president Mrs. r. 5. Baldwin, third
vice-president Mrs j. b. Gentry,
