The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-04-17

Eester is here, and it really does seem as
q April, with all its beautiful flowers,
brddlng trees and gorgeous colorings in nat
IVA were indeed the month for the glorious
rsstertide. 1t seems rather strange, too,
that such late Easter brings with it an
rnnsually early spring. The past, or Holy
,r.st has been almost blank in the social
calender; the time being spent by. perhaps,
the majority of the people in church-going
s,d nreparations for the Easter entertain
n,ants and the gayeties that are to follow.
M matter how the Easter fashions, etc. :,
may change, there is custom that still
holds its own 1t is that Of wearing some
thing new on Easter to bring good luck for
+ba coming year. 1t matters not how small
the article-a handkerchief, pair of gloves,
neoktie. anything, just 80 it be carried for
the first time will insure your never being
Iyitbout new things for a year. and bring
Won good luck, too. A new coin presented
on that day will make you rich, or at least
gives promise that you will never be poor.
Every one should give d bride or an en-
gagged girl a cup and saucer. The
saucer must be broad and deep, 80 that the
ioy that overfows must not be lost.
Fastertide. The churches will be resplend-
emit with beautiful flowers and the choirs
will be augmented for the occasion and sing
gloriously the praise of him who is risen!
One of the oldest charities in the city is the
Female Orphan Asylum, which was founded
Dec. II. 1901. The support of this institu-
ton comes from investments. donations
and subscriptions. 1t is non-sectarian, and
TIE children, with the matron attend the
different churches at stated times, and
for a period of two years go to one
Sunday school. There are some sweet
7oices among the girls which add greatly to
tie worship Of song and praise. Orphans
from the age OF to are admitted and well
cared for until they reach IS, when they as
same their own support. At present there
are about sixty sheltered in the home, and
they are all specimens Of good health. DR..
Charlton gives his professional services las
did his philanthropic father, and is most
attentive. One matron, an assistant and
mamstress are employed, the larger girls
dong the cooking and other work.
Mss Ward has been, for some
years, most faithful teacher.
Tie annual examination will take
place on Wednesday, April 81, at 4:3O
o'clock 1t is pleasant and encouraging to
have visitors on those occasions. The asy-
lum is under the control Of Mrs. Abram
Minis, Mrs. w. j. Sans Miss r. Reid, Sec
rotary and Mrs. J. Bryan, treasurer, with
the following efficient board of managers:
Mrs J. Lathrop Mrs. c.. Lamar, Mrs. G.
Cope, Mrs. c. Woods, Mrs. Van Vost, Mrs
G. Whitehead, Mrs. H. Hull, Mrs. G. An
derson, Mrs Rice, Mrs. Vass, Mrs. Papy,
Miss Minis. Miss s. Anderson, and Miss G.
Saussy.
The Little Minnie Mission-a great and
noble charity it is. This institution was
founded in 1882 by Mrs. Charles Green as q
loving memorial of her only daughter &,
Minnie. who died at the tender age of Z.
It is therefore private charity, and its OBJ
Ject is the care and protection Of orphans
Hnd helpless children up to the age Of Z, at
which time they are provided with proper
homes, either by entering other institutions
orby adoption. Mrs. Green, having moved
away from the city, deemed it best to have
The mission Incorporated under a board
Of managers. In June. 1884, this
was accomplished, and the mis-
sion is still conducted under this
charter. The board consists of president,
vice president, secretary and treasurer, and
sixteen members who supervise and manage
tLeatfairs of the institution. At present
there are fourteen little boys and girls,
from few months to 6 years of age, who
are being protected under the care of the
worthy matron, Mrs Young. Visitors are
always welcome to the institution, and any
one " ould feel repaid by a visit among
these Innocent, happy little tots whose life
1850 happy there, and so free from the
sorrows that must same day come to all.

IN hospitals. Perhaps they cannot be called
strictly charities, and yet so much is done
by them for nothing that they must be
cIaSsed among the city's charities. There
are the city hospital, st. Joseph's Infirmary,
ielfalr hospital (ior women) and the colored
lnhrmary. All are well equipped with good
nurses, and the medical attendance is always
