FROM THE CITY HOSPITAL.

~ENHN #aI st
Miss May Barrowcliff yesterday. for the
first time since she met with her accident,
left the grounds of the City Hospital. Until
about two weeks ago she lay in q private
room in the woman's ward. As soon, how
ever, as the doctor gave his consent to her
removal, Mrs. Osborne, who is a warm
friend to Miss Barrowclif, had her removed
to her house so that she could be under her
personal care. Even after going to the
warden's house Miss Barrowcliff was con-
fined to her bed for several days, and 1t was
fully a week before she could walk. Last
Thursday evening was the first time she ven
tured downstairs, and was the only time she
took a meal with the family during her stay.
She went downstairs once after that be-
fore her removal. While she was at the
Warden's house she was made acquainted
with the fact that she had a mother living.
About a week after she was told this and
after she had had time to think it over her
mother called. A fearful intel view was had,
and when Mrs. B~arrowclitfe left May asked
her to call again. She did call a second
time and proposed to her aughte tha1 rs sae
make her home with her in Brooklyn. inns
Miss B%arrowcliffe, after considering the
proposition for some time, decided TO do.
1t was decided last Thursday, as soon as 1T
was found that Miss Barrowcliff could de-
scend the stairs, that on Sunday she should
be moved to the home of her friend Mrs.
Wanamaker, No. EOS Magnolia avenue,
where Miss Dexter has been living ever
since her cousin met with her accident.
HER r TO R WANAMAKEReS.
A closed carriage drove up to the rear
stoop of the Warden's honse yesterday morn,
ing at half past ten o'clock. There alighted
from it Mr.. Aquilldu Wanamaker, his sister
and Miss Gertrude Dexter. Miss Barrow
cliff had arisen but a short time before, n
had lust finished her breakfast. The weather
was so bitter cold that Mrs. Osborne thought
the Wanamakers would defer the removal
until a more favorable day. Mhen she saw
the coach, however, she n Miss Andrews
fastened to Miss Barrowclif's room to dress
her for her ride. Since she has been able to
be around, Miss BarrowcliH has been wear
ing a pale blue wrapper and enc she
has received n visitors 1t has been IN
that. Yesterday for the first time she
donned her dress, a black one. Mrs. Osborne
wrapped her shoulders in a warm green and
black plaid shawl and her head in a light
blue nubia. She was able, by holding the
banister, to descend the stairs alone. She
then went into the Wardens office and rested
for about ten minutes before gong to the
coach. There it was that she said good-by
to. and thanked the Warden and his family
for all that they have done for her. Her
stay at the Osborne's home has been made as
pleasant and as comfortable as it could poss-
bly have been, and Mrs. Osborne has cared
for her as if she were her own daughter.
Her short rest completed, assisted on the
one hand by Warden Osborne and on the
other by Mr.. Wanamaker, she walked along
the hall, through the back door and right
into the coach, which was close against the
back stoop, and only a step from the door
The coach was well heated and as warm as
the room she had left. She was well covered
with robes, her friends entered, and the
coach drove to the Wanamaker home. Here
Mrs. Wanamaker was waiting to receive
them, and had the back parlor all prepared
for the patient. She was closely wrapped
up, and Mr.. Wanamaker and the coachman
carried her'across the sidewalk, up the stoop
and into the house. She felt no i'll effects
from the excitement of her remova and
long ride, and ate inner with the family.
None but the members of the family were
permitted to see her yesterday.
WILL GO TO E MOTHER.
On Saturday, Mrs. Hoagland, her cousin
and the daughter of Isaac V. Hoagland,
President of the John P. Kane Company,
dealers in masons' supplies in New York,
called on her, and in her fathers name
offered Miss Barrowcliff a home with them.
Mr.. Hoagland is a millionaire II lives
in a mansion in the fashionable portion OF
the city. Miss B~arrowclif, however, has de-
cided to accept her mothers offer and keep
house with her. Mrs. Barrowcliffe keeps
house with a wealthy Brooklynite, but will
resign her position and take a small house
by herself. She will have it all ready to re-
ceive her daughter when she is able to stand
the journey to Brooklyn. This will probably
be in about two weeks. hiss BaIrowchtf
may later accept the offer of her aunt, Mrs.
Reilly, and spend several weeks with her at
her home in Wakefield. Rhode Island; she
hoe not bowauor vet decided on this DOint.
