sECRETARY's REPORT.

once more, amid the SHOWS of Jan
uary, has come the annual meeting of
this association; once more are we
gathered to hear the record of what
has been done for humanity's sake by
those who have administered the af-
fairs of the Home for the Friendless
during the twenty-seventh year of its
existence.
During 1898 there were admitted to
the Home 2l girls, 20 boys, IA women
and IL babies; SO have been dismissed,
were sent to the Hillside Home and
4 are out on trial. On the 3lst of De-
cember the inmates numbered 81; {
children have been indentured to the
Home and 3 to families. Four deaths
have occurred since our last report
two baby girls and two old ladies haV-
ing passed from us to better coun-
try, that is, an heavenly" The babies,
one of whom was five days old, and
one seven, when admitted, only COM
pleted as many weeks of life. To one
of the old ladies' was granted more
than the allotted three score years and
ten; to the other, three score and a
quarter, ana yet, looking on the quiet
faces of the dead, we could not but
feel
How happier far than life the end
or souls that intant-like beneath their
bend
In June the dreaded scourge, diph-
iberia, invaded the Home, but it was
successfully combatted by the physi-
clans with the marvellous weapon of
anti-toxine, and all the patients re-
covered. The great event of the year
was the moving into our new building,
which was accomplished March II; a
day best known as "St. Patrick's Day
in the Morning" Six years had passed
since the board assembled March "a.

The first permanent plans for arrang-
ing for next Octobers state firemen's S
convention in this city were perfected
last night at a meeting of firemen in
the parlors of Nay Aug Engine house.
Two delegates were present from near
ly every fire company in the city. by
recent request of the temporary con-
vention committee the delegates ap-
peared clothed with power to vote on
all questions and to remain members
of the general convention COMMITTEES
until the convention is thing of the
past.
G. ID. Wegman. the wholesale fruit
merchant. was elected president, John
l.. Roche, vice president; William
TANNER. secretary, and Charles II. Mil
ler treasurer of the committee The
committee then went into a considcra-
tion, section by section, of the report
of the ways and means committee of
TIE early and temporary general COM
mittee. This report had been approv-
ed as a whole by the first committee.
but subject to final ratification by the
permanent organization.
A FAIR FAVORED.
The clause favoring a fair was ap-
proved. Music hall, the ormory and a
specially constructed "wiGwam" on the
Young Mems Christian association plot
were suggested as places for holding
the fair. Action on this point was,
however, deferred until a report has
been made by the executive committee.
An executive committee, to act with
President WCgman on fair and con-
vention details subject to approval OF
the executive committee, was elected as
follows: p. !. Hickey chief of the fire.
department; Joseph Danner, j. w.
Hall, II. J. Spruks and A. l.. Lewis.
Quite a volume of work was mapped
out for the executive committee as a
result of the ways and means report.
The committee was directed to appoint
subcommittee and to arrange for a
treasurer's bond of $4,000 and a sec
retary's bond of $1,000
The executive committee was also di-
rected to confer with several prominent
men relative to acting as manager of
the fair. The matter of paying the
manager a salary brought out different
views. but it appeared to be the sense
of the meeting that a salary should be
man if one could not be secured gratis

of the opening day of the fair.

committee. The executive committee
will meet next Wednesday afternoon in

directed their attorney, Charles r.. Oh
Yer to proceed to test the decision of
the county commissioners in the mat

not to be found, the alderman, consta-
bles and witnesses are deprived of
their costs, although the sheriff. dis
trict attorney and clerk of the courts
are paid their fees in the case out Of
the county funds. This is an injustice
the cOnstables claim. and they propose
to put up a legal fight against it.
They also want to secure a larger al
lowance for convictions in speakeasy
cases. At present they are only al
lowed s.. They will introduce a bill in
the legislature, if possible, to increase
the fee to $50. They will also ask for
