HOME FOR INCvRABLEs.
Annual Report of Affairs to Superin-
tendent Of Charities.

Mrs. Helen D. McLanahan. president of
the Washington Home for Incurables, has
submitted to Mr.. Herbert w. Lewis, the
superintendent Of charities, report of the
affairs Of the institution for the fiscal yer
ended June 80. 1899. The past yea. Mrs.
McLanahan states. was one of prosperity,
important repairs having been mad. 10 the
building and extensive work having been
done on the grounds. The expenses of
these improvements were very largely de-
frayed by the friends of the institution
Fffty-seven cases received treatment dur
Ing the year; thirteen cases were admitted
and thirteen patients died; four We're dis
charged and forty patients remained un
der treatment. There is long list of cases
awaiting admission. and they will be adj
mitted as vacancies occur
Mrs. McLanahan states that the medical
stan has been attentive. as appears from
the improving general health Of the house
mold. while the resident physician and ma
tron have given satisfaction in their kind
and tactful treatment of difficult class of
invalids. Very few of the remaining pa
tents are able to pay anything toward their
own support. and this, it is explained, ma
terially cripples the finances of the home.
for while,' says Mrs. McLanahan, the
object of the charity is the care of the in
durable poor, yet it is most important that
the inmates of the institution should give
all the pecdniary aid in their power toward
meeting the heavy expenses annually in
CURED. These expenses range from So, 600
to $4,000, and the management must de-
pend almost entirely for the amount upon
the public
The home asks an appropriation by Con-
gress of 5000 toward its support for the
Lext fiscal year, and fear is expressed that
unless this amount is granted the charity
will fall much behind in meeting its annual
expenses. The net assets of the home are
$64,olO39, and the receipts for the year,
including an appropriation of 1900 were
si4, GS7, while the expenditures were

Arrangements had been made to begin
work the underground construction of
the Anacostia railway next Monday. To-
day the Washington Traction and Electric
Company received word that a serious mis-
hap had occurred in the rolling mill, where
their order for rails was placed, and that
there would be a delay in deliveries for a
time. This news caused the company to
defer the time of beginning their work, for
the reason that they have but small sup
ply of rails on hand.

MUST WORK AT NIGHT.
Warshfps Further Advanced Than

1t is understood that in a few days ma
chtnists at the navy yard will be given a
night shift for work on the big guns in
tended for the battle ships and cruisers
now under construction. The fact that ex-
ira work will be done on these guns has
given rise to various rumors concerning the
fear of the administration Of complications
with some foreign power. The guns are
not needed in the Philippine campaign, and
could only be needed in case there is a
clash with a nation having a powerful
navy.
The fact is the cruisers and battle ships
for which these guns are intended are far
Their advanced in their construction than is
their armament, and the rush work on the
big guns is necessary in order to get them
ready in time. 1t is also the desire of the
administration to make as good a showing
as possible in the strength of it's navy at
the present time for it's moral effect on
foreign nations.
