The animal meeting of the Children's
Home Society of Minnesota was held
last night at the House of Hope church.

present to deliver the annual address,, :
THE Children's Home society is an
/ organization having for its purpose the
rescue of orphans. dependent. neglected
and abused children. and to place them
/ in, carefully SELECTED homes. 1t WAS
started III Illinois in 1885, and COM
menced work IN Minnesota in 1889. At
the present timesit has organizations in
| twenty states. 1t maintains no asylums,,
but places the children in the homes of
people in, the smaller cities or country.
Mr.. Savage, in the course Of his re-
port, showed the vast amount, the So
sciety is doing by its noble work, in giy-
ing the statistics of the. past years
work, as follows:
Number of children received in charge
III Minnesota and Dakota, 252 or these
a233 have been placed in homes. 81 in
Minnesota and 50 III Dakota. The re-
ceipts OF the society last year were
| S9,005.76, and. disbursements, 50, 1896.
leaving deficit Of S70.26. The average
expense to provide for each child in
Minnesota was s4660. The total num-
Der of children provided for since Sept.
II, 1889. was 615.
1 Mr.. Savage, after giving the state
ment, continued to speak feelingly on
nj q nnfu Of irL t>rr
/ the society. 1t was its al INTO place the
little ones in good homes under proper
Christian training, where the waits may
grow up into useful life and be kept
from the paths of vice and degradation
Therefore the appeals made from year
to. year to the people for aid to carry on
| the work should be needed. The society
| Is still young, having attained all age of
bit four years, but already the fruits of
/ its work are becoming manifest. The
mother society. that of New York, had
already provided homes for. $1,000 chill
dren, OF which 50 per cent had turned
out well, and have been saved from life
i'll the sluins OF that city.
/ The speaker then told Of an instance
| which occurred in this city. 1--WE little
| buys were rescued from a hovel in
an alley where vice was blatant and
T visible in all its phases. These boys
| were sent to homes in the southern
portion Of the state, and from the let
| ters. received from their tester parents
they are doing well and are much be-
loved.
