A NEW YORK CHARITY.

Some Facts About the Child's Hospi-
tal-A Lady,s Life Of Devotion 20 the
Cause Of Humanity.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Child's hospi-
tai, located on the corner of Lexington ave~
nue. and Fifty.Ar street, was originally
founded In 1854 under the name of the "Nur-
sery for Poor Women" by Mrs. Mary A. Du
Bots, who died recently. Mrs. Du Bots was
frst direotress of the nursery and continued
her connection in that capacity until q short
| time prior to her death. She was assisted in
her arduous, philanthropio work by band
of devoted women who clustered around her
and inspired by her noble example led the
way for that enlightened and tender care for
the children Of the poor which is practised in
the nursery. The nursery is now recognized
as one of the most useful, necessary and inn
portant in this city.
As In the case of all such undertakings in
their infancy. Mrs. Du Bots and her assistants
had to struggle with many difficulties, but not
discouraged by all this they continued the
good work until success crowned their labors.
During the struggle to establish the institu-
ton on its present firm basis many of Mrs.
Du Bois' associates and fellow-laborers died,
but she was spared to foster and develop the
charity whose beginning was SO largely due
to her active and practical sympathy with
suffering women and children. Mrs. Dubois
was eminently fitted for this work by great
mental and moral qualities. She was gifted
with comprehensive intelligence, keen obser-
walton great administrative ability, and an
unfsltering faith In the ultimate triumph of
the charity. She also possessed spirit of
almost irresistible energy and indomitable
Gal Z
not austere presence, inviting confidence in
her ability and integrity of purpose. Her
death was great loss to the institution, but
before II occurred she had the satisfaction of
seeing her lifework established on solid
basis.
The nursery and hospital has a country
branch at Stapleton, S. l., with forty acres
of ground attached, where all farm products
milk, butter, vegetables and fruits-are
produced for the use of the institution.
The total expenses Of the city nursery for
the past year have been over $64, 600; of
the country branch over $3.50, 900. The total
number of children cared for In tho institu.
ton during the year was sos. The death
rate was about "a per cent, fve-eights of all
the deaths among children occurring to those
under enc year old. During the same period
162 children were born in the institution and
252 wet nurses were employed. The whole
number of women received for confinement
was 204, of whom none died.
The following are the rules of the nursery
governing tho admission of children: Every
child presented for admission must be free
from contagious disease; every child must
be vaccinated; no child over four years of
age admitted In the city home or ovor eight
years of age In the country branch, unless by
special permission of the FIRST directress;
parents can visit their children once fort
night between IL a. M. and p. IN. on
Thursdays.
