NO LOSS OF SUPPORT FOR ASYLUM
Hebrew Orphans Taken Care of as in Most
Prosperous Years.

The annual meeting of the Hebrew orphan Asy-
IInl was held yesterday morning. and the reports
read showed that the institution had suffered little
this winter from the loss Of support which has more
or less embarrassed other charitable institutions
and work
The institution seemed to Daniel G Potter, chief
examiner Of accounts Of the Department of Fl
nance. 10 he receiving unusual amount from the
city II vas explained to him by Louis Stern. pres-
dent Of the asylum, and Patrick r MCGOWAN,
President of the Board Of Aldermen, that this ap-
parent increase represented the rent paid by the
city for the rooms hired a public school
Mr.. MCGOWAN made speech commenting the
work Of the asylum. Mr.. Potter said:
Tt is true that the children well taken care
Of and that their comfort is provided for No crit-
cism can be made of that part OF the work in the
asylums but I want take away the criticism Of
some of these institutions that the city does not do
all il should do. If they choose to go ahead and
add luxury to the necessary comfort of the chill
they not look 10 the city to bear this
pense" Mr.. Potter pointed out institutions which
allowance given them by the city, and were doing
magnificent work
There are ,20a children in the Hebrew
Orphan Asylum, the greatest number in its history
and almost hundred more being cared for
in outside quarters All the present officers the
institution reelected and the membership was
increased by several hundred.

HILL BRANCH REPORT.

President of the T. s. s: I regret that I have
been unable 10 send in my reports regularly
through the winter. the faithful work OF our
members should have had such mention
In November a very successful cake sale was
held at the home of Miss Emma T. TufhiH, our
treasurer. In February progressive eUchre was
by branch. and from these two sources
and the dues and contributions of members suffi-
ctent money was realized carry through the
winter work. The usual holiday dinners and re-
membranes were sent, and We are continuing our
regular work OF helping toward the support Of the
aged woman who has been our penSloner for the
last seven years.
Much has been done by members for the poor
who to the Brooklyn branch of the Little
Mothers" Money has been lent those who
needed only temporary help. rent paid when dis
warm clothing were provided. The lack of food
and unusual exposure caused much sickness
that medicine and bedding have been greatly need
ed. In one the father of family OF five had
been out of work for nineteen weeks: every cent
of savings used up. and the family had suf-
fered terribly before disposSess papers and the
fear Of being put in the street compelled them to
apply for nelp. A mother came to beg for
shoes and clothes for her little children. but would
nothing her needs. Our friends have
responded generously TO appeals for clothing
and hundreds of garments have been distributed.
Beautiful sunshine work is done which hear
of only by accident, but grateful letters show
that our members are faithful and that dark places
IN many lives are being made brighter by them.
Sorrow has come to some, and circle has
again suffered a severe loss. Thomas r. Ajexan-
der. who with his wife joined the Hill branch
after organization passed March
even during great suffering have given TO those
who with him lesson IL Christian fortitUde
and have shown how bravel- a good man dies. To
his family offer deepest sympathy. and feel
share their sorrow. Yours Sunshine,
MRS. ANNIE l.. MASON. President
