 Act, tAc order Is not such very mod. cru one after a1, for II Nus founded in New Orleans over half d century ago. lts utMhgrs are how WcllkneWn iIg- ures ou the streets of the Crescent City. Tae special olject of !ts Institution was the ,lucatIon and moral training uf young colorrd girls and the care of or- pAaus and aged inl,rm people of the race. II has Aad thc cordial support of such eminent churchmen as Arch bishops Blanc. Odin. rerche, Leroy and Jansseas, who sueccssively filled the 0rehcpisropal see ef New Orleans.
