 of the Home for the Friendless-
 History of the Work of Twenty
 Five Years-Omcers Elected.
 The twenty annual meeting of the Home for the Friendless was held yester- day afternoon at the Center church chapel. A good attendance was present. Rev. J. opened the exercises and made 8 stirring speech-such as is seldom heard outside the pulpit on Sundays.
 As the corresponding secretary, Mrs. Justus s. Hotchkiss, who has held that office since the organization of the society, and the recording secretary, Mrs. Samuel Harris had resigned, Miss Cornelis P. Bulford, the newly elected secretary, read the report, which had been prepared by the president. In her report she said: The society is free from debt but in need of large increase of funds to carry on the work. Three inmates have died dur ing the year. The Bible class has been conducted with regularity and profit by Miss Griffin. Mrs. Latham, the matron, Mrs. Hitchcock, the assistant matron, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Bishop, have by their efficiency, increased the usefulness of the home.
 There have been S4 women and children at the home during the year. Mrs. Cowles, the treasurer, reported that the total re- ceipts for the year had been $6, ,457.16 and the expenditures $5,6sS.15, leaving bal ance of $769. Il, which is deposited in the banks of the city. Mrs. Justus s. Hotchkiss read an inter- esting history of the quarter of century of the organizations existence. On Octo- Der 15, 1866, the. society was organized, and building was soon secured in Fair Haven. The society was incorporated June 16, 1867. In 1873 nursery and in frmary were added, and in 1888 brick building for old ladies was erected. The presidents, to whom much of the success of the society has been due, are Mrs. Joseph E. Sheffield, Mrs. General E. s. Roberts, Mrs. William Hillhouse, Mrs. Davenport and Mrs. Hillhouse again since 1889.
 Thanks were given to the COURIER and the other papers of the city for their re- ports of the meetings of the society, to Charles Fabrique, Richard s. Fellows and Morris Tyler for generous aid, and to Drs. Gilbert, William DeForest, Henry Pierpont, | Gilbert and E. M. O. Hall for medical at | tendance.
 On the whole, the history of the past presages favorable future.
