ST. JoSEPH's UNION.
Installation Of Officers Elected In
October.


One of the largest and most enthusiastic
meetings of St. Joseph's Union was held
in the parlors of ST. AIMS Infant Asylum
last evening, the occasion being the in
stallation of the officers elected at the
October meeting and the planning of work
TO be accomplished by the union during
the winter
The object of this association is the
procuring and maintaining of summer
home for the sisters and little ones of St.
AIMS Infant Asylum The mansion pur-
chased by the union at Berwyn, Md, at
a cost of S11, ,009 will accommodate only
one-half the little ones of that institu-
ton.
During the past winter and spring an ad-
dition was added, so that now the home is
complete in every particular. Necessarily
this addition has added burden to the
already heavy debt. The union would
feel grateful to the subscribers If the
monthly and yearly subscriptions now due
would be promptly paid, thus enabling
them to reduce the accommodating interest.
The charitabiy disposed of our city would
be assisting a most worthy charity by
subscribing even as small an amount as
p cents monthly toward liquidating the
debt OF this home which has already prov
en of such benefit 10 those little fatherless
ones under the fostering care of the Sis
iers of Charity, and il would be fulfilling
