The Board Of Managers Of the Womens
Christian Association are much Gratiied
at the financial outcome Of their luncheon
project From their efforts during the
continuance of the Moody meetings they
have notted about $50, which will aid
them very materially in putting the need
ed repairs upon their building on east
Franklin street. and they are to be con-
graduated upon their success.
"And still Richmond has no free hos
ptal." said an observer among us :e-
Gently. The statement could not be con-
trad,cted in view of DR.. McGuire's public
assertion. that since the State had made
no appropriation the Virginia hospital
could not afford to take charity patients.
and the equally well-known fact that the

the beginning of free hospital. But was
the Sheltering Arms free hospital, and
why is it now closed:" were questions
which excited some inquiry. developing
facts perhaps not generally known. The
Shetering Arms has only been in exist
ence four years, and is now temporarily
closed for reasons which can be better
understood since the recent airing Of
medical troubles In our columns.
Upon the rental of the Grace-street
property. in which the work was to have
been carried on for a year only, an in
junction was Immediately entered re-
straining the managers from cpering the
hospital.
Turning to the last annual report Of
the Sheltering Arms 1t shows: more
than one half of the patients absolute
ly free, and given /. S61 days Of free treat
whatever they thought they could afford.
Average number Of patients per week,
nine-totai expenses, $2.740." This is prac-
tically the beginning of a free hospital
since the amount paid by patients is
left entirely to be decided by them, and
is too small TO be termed compensation.
The board of private patients brought
In by physicians is always determined
by the latter, and more than expended
IN procuring special nurses.
The money subscribed by the citizens
of Richmond will be invested in house

city are still determined to bend every
effort towards carrying out the original

The friends Of the institution who have
in the past so generously contributed
towards fitting up the old building, must
not fail to remember that another will
soon be occupied, and be in need of the
same gracious ana timely assistance.
The wedding of Mr.. Charles Edward
Boiling and Miss Parke Chamberlayne
BGgby was, az our daily stated, char
acterized by the quiet elegance which
is like breath from those early colonial
days when marriage signihed something
more sacred than vulgar ostentation and
