for the Care Of Bows and Girls.

The Prisoners Aid Department OF the
Diocese of Washington held its first autumn
meeting last night at the house Of Bishop
Satterlee. The report of the treasurer Mrs.

$519S2 for the last six months. for actual

lunches, printing and postage and agent s
expenses, leaving abbalance in the treasury
of $3.50, with $15.9 80 Indebtedness.
The organization is supported by volun-
tary contributions by the friends of chill
dren who believe in the prevention' of
crime. 1t seeks out young people arrested
in this city and after paying fines of those
in Jail and work house sends them to their
homes. The expense for this part of the
work the last six months has been 81, 1855.
of which $15S3.S9 has been returned by
parents and friends. Three hundred and
forty-one persons have been sent to their
homes in six months past, and thirteen re-
