The Work Of Last Year Carefully

ELECTION OF THE NEW OFFICERS.
Mrs. ". B. Harrington, President Of
the Hospital, Makes Seine Valuable
Suggestions

The board of managers of the Children's
Hospital held their annual meeting at the
Maternity Cottage. adjoining the hospital,
yesterday afternoon.
There was large attendance of the
members and a lively interest manifested
in the proceedings. and though some of
the REPORTS were not particularly encour-
aging there was no thought of curtailing
the work of previous years. On the con-
trary disposition was shown to branch
on: in new fields.
Mrs. w. B. Harrington, president of the
board, presented the first report. In
some respects" she said. 'tne past years
work had been most satisfactory. Philan-
thropic people had come to realize the
valuable work which the organization was
doing in the city. The generous response
to a call for money in the iDcurable ward
was only an illustration of this fact"
Gifts aggregating $4,000 from the Will
merdng and Mrs. Charles Lux beGue SITS
were referred to. 1t will be some time,
however, before the hospital will co me
into possession of the money.
Last year the president recommended
that subscriptions be solicited among char
liable people for current expenses
This suggestion was carried out to an
extent that clearly shows its advantages
