Everybody knows that there is a

But few there are who stop TO think
how the institution is kept UP, or the
efforts necessary to maintain it, by

I o keep these matters before the pub
lie, and The Optic was called on the

the matter OF remedying the defects
found therein.
A reporter visited the Home last
evening and was shown through the
large building o cellar to garnet.
While he found ~deplorable defects
here and thers, it is truly a wonder
that the Home has been kept up as
well as it has with the short funds
which the ladies have had at their
command. 1t would fill q small book
TO cover the good the institution has
done. suffice to say that since the re-
duction of the Territorial a%ppropria-
ton, eight years ago. there a not
been funds enough to keep the build
ing and grounds up, and the ladies
find that at least $500 is neeoed to ac-
|commodate the needy sick, and meet
the. growing demands on it, with the
growth of the community.
In going through the building it
was noticed that while everything
was scrupule usly neat, the furniture
