Col. j. \. Elweh was very indignant
at the report that he had sold his pala-
tial residence for hospital. The

Sisters of Charity, but that neither he
nor they yet know the use to which it
will be pu,,cxccpt TIA it is specified that
an institution that will be Of benefit TO
the city shall be put into il. What
this may be. even the Sisters thcmsel- !
yes do not vet know, nor will know
until next month, when their board of
management meets near Baltimore,
Md. 1t may be a girls semir airy, or n
private sanitairum, but that, at all |

colonel is a very public-spirted man,
and, at great cost to himself, has at
tracted one of the largest societies in
America into our midst, because he
believes that whatever work they may
locate here will be one of great perma-
nent benefit to the city.
