fe Tilghman Johnston, president OF q
II | board OF trustees, submitted the follow
ne ing report:
Our endowment fund. while nj
H.
~ 1897 as made I'm 1896, has grown fro
as SIG, ,2Ss. 20 to $27, 600. an increase OF SIC
71O.S0; we have therefore every re-
N son TO feel gratified and thankful.
This increase has come from ri
n OF $1,000 from the family of DIR, Wi
liam Poyntell Johnston, for the purpo.
D. OF endowing a bed in his memory, an
p the balance from the estate OF Mi
L | Mary S. Boyd.
Il This fund will receive during q
no coming year, over 5000 from the g
l'a | tate Of Mrs. Henry II. Carter, who
her win directed that amount 10
nd given to the hospital, to endOw b'
or for the use OF railroad men, In mer
nd Tory OF her late husband, Henry H. Ca
n ter. who was. during his residence
IT. this city. superintendent of the p,
nj & B. railroad; We also viii recei
mi ! from the same estate, the sum OF -
he for general purposes; Mr.. and MI
81 Carter while in this city were devOt
o. friends Of the hospital, and their 10
lis ing memory will thus be perpeuated.
These evidences Of the appreciate
re Of the value Of our work, by individu
ad friends. are not only incentives to sp
Ia us on in our labOrs, and enduril
an monuments to the generosity OF q
in donors and the memorials named, b
Of they are examples, which those OF {
IN community who are able, may be wi
nd in following; for by these good worl
eV do we lay up for ourselves treasures
oi | heaven" elevate mankind to its tr
Tor standard. and carry out and exempll
re- one of cur chief duties, which is TO
ed charitable and kind TO the poor,
sick and the needy.
eet BY reference TO the report Of
an treasurer, il win be seen that our
VIZ come does not meet cur expenses; II
OF should not he so; il can be changed
yn. either increasing our income, OF
de- crCasing our expenses; the first plan
af- undoubtedly the one to adopt; for a
gs. crease in expenses, means closing sol
the OF the wards, and a curtailment OF {
of charity. We will receive during
not | terest OF our endowment fund, but
be- is very clear that we must have
ON | creased annual subscriptions.
at This brings up the matter OF a h
the pital Saturday and Sunday, when {
md lections will be taken up in churches
my every denomination, sect and ere
i've. the same to be divided among the h
the pitfalls Of the city, in proportion to
red amount Of free service given to
his poor; see by clipping from n
i'm. York paper, that thirty-eight hOspit
and in that city are recipients OF the (
sed. lectlons Of the Hospital Saturday {
the Sunday Association. and that col
and tiOns are taken up in churches
The synagogues OF every creed and demo
ton nation, on the last Saturday and S
leld day in the year. do not see why
sral hospitals in this city could not
made beneficiaries Of such a plan
ned | hope the committee appointed
nall that purpose will inaugurate the mc
w. ment. The committee on subscripi
eet. boxes in the manufactures have
made amy definite progress. l Il
some good results will be seen n
