$1,000
.'Thus, in April, 1887, we find the asso-
citation fully equipped, out of debt its du-
ties well defined and having the conf
Gence of the community. The work has
gone on without interruption, following
the original plans for these twenty-three
years.
The direct management of the home
continues, as always, to rest with a board
of directors formerly fifteen and now thir-
teen women.
In February, 1906 the consolidation
was effected between the Orphans Home
and Day Nursery and the Infants Home
and Protective association. By this step
the association acceded 10 a noDular de
mand and at the same time increased
greatly its scope of work.
mo children are kept permanently in
the home that are eligible for adoption,
and one of the most important and most
merltOrlouS phases of the work has been
the home-fin0ing activity which has en-
abled the homeless child and the chill
less home TO find each other.
In the spring of 1908 the crowded con-
dltlOn of the home had caused to be more
noticeable the lack of sanitary conditions
and of oil binary convenience. Many rad
zeal and expensive changes were an inn

tors appointed a committee to discover,
If possible, a more desirable site for the

another committee, with power to act, to

action the refusal of the present site
was obtained, the purchase was ratified
unanimously and the sum of $4,000 paid
for it. The purchasing committee was
requested by the board of directors to
continue as a building committee. To this
committee plans were submitted and the

With impressive services appropriate to
the event the cornerstone OF the new
home of the Orphans Home and Day
Nursery association was laid at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon at the corner Of
Twelfth East and Tenth South streets.
Fifty or more prominent men and women
were assembled, including Mayor John ).

The services began promptly at 2:35
o'clock with the entire assembly singing

able to attend. The opening address was
that of Mayor BransfOrd, who said in

The cause for the gathering is to me
apart from the small service which | have
the honor of performing, one of intense
qualification and 1 am certain that every
one here rejOices with me in what is
being done IN view of the far-Feaching
and deep significance which this grand
structure will have upon the community
when completed and fully launched upon
its good work
when We come to study modern cOndi-
lions of life and endeavOr to seek
the contrast between these and the
conditions of past times, no one
phase shows more clearly than this
the care which we exercise and
the regard with which we hold the little
ones upon whom the storms of adversely
have so early fallen with cold. pitiless
and desolating force. And it appears to
me that in the construction of this build
ing and in the human and lofty feeling
which gave inspiration to the movement.
we have concrete evidence of the mighty
altTuistic force which is molding the race
into a form which will one daysee man
kind transformed and living under the
vine and fig tree of peace and right.

scheduled to open Thanksgiving Gay is

that there was no theatre for Mr.. Young
to play in Thanksgiving day.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
enormous skating rink auditorium might
be leased for the day, and an hour later
Mr.. Burlock had signed a contract for
its use. Another twenty-four hours suf-
feed for the signing of contracts win
electricians, carpenters, an orchestra,
treasurers, ushers, stage hands, billpOst-
ers and the hundred and one other men.
Then the auditorium was damned with
gangs of mechanics, working at break
neck speed transforming the barren hall
into a warm, comfortable, perfectly ap
pointed theatre.
Dressing rooms were provided for the
thirty-two pretty girls, the sixteen chorus
men and the dozen principals to make
their half score changes of costumes. Six

Adverse Legislation at Coming
Session of Congress.

Washington, Nov. 23.-President Taft
today received a call from a committee
representing the Railway Business as
sOciatiOn, a national organization, with
headquarters at New York, who came
TO discuss railway legislation at the
approaching session of congress.

Cutler of New York president of the

president of the American Locomotive
company, and A. II. MuIliken of Chi
cago, president of PettibOne. Mulliken
d Co, manufacturers of froSs and
switches. and all vice presidents Of the
association.
The committee told the president they
were interested in railroad legislation,

own business. Representing as they
cid, five hundred million of capital and
and million and a half employees, they
were concerned over any action that
would injuriously affect the credit of
the railroads
The president promised careful con-
sideratiOn of their representations.

by Mrs. A. j GOrham, one of the prime
movers in the work. In part she said:
Twenty-Five years ago last month was
taken the first formal step in the Organi-
cation of the work for the care Of de
pendent and homeless children. So far
as preliminary causes can be traced, the
idea seems to have originated with a
group of prominent women, who one DAY
were in social gathering at the home of
Mrs. Hannah p. Travis. Among other
topics of discussion was the one relat-
ing to the growing need of a day nursery,
where children could be left when moth
ers were away from home earning money
for the family support
Though no formal action was taken
AT that time, the idea had become firmly
fixed and was not to be forgotten. -
is unfortunate that we do not know the
names of all who were present that day.
Some of them are with us today. for L
was they who gradually formulated plans
for procedure, and who had considerable
for the care of these children before the
formal organization in 1884. We should
pause here for moment to do them
homage, those beginners whose example
we are humbly following today.
The first rooms occupied by the day
nursery were at the corner of Sixth East
and Third South streets. Later the Rev.
Mr.. putnam, who was always actively in
terested in the work found quarters at
the corner of Third East and First South
He procured young man and his wife
to care for the home and its inmates,
then consisting Of three tiny babies. Later
another location was found on .ast HIrsJ
South, near Eleventh East. The work
and worry of occasional moving were ap-
parent to all, and il was with the greatest
JOY that with the opening of the year
1887 the association was able to move into
Its own home on South State street
But We must 20 back a little. The
territorial legislature of 1886 voted the
Day Nursery society an appropriation of
81 900. with the proviso that they formal
ly incorporate under the territorial laws
In June of that year, 1886, the society
voted to dissolve and to reorganize under
the name of the Orphans Home and Day
Nursery association. The fifteen names
that are appended to the first constitu-
ton after the Incorporation are as fOI-
lows: Elizabeth S. Dickey Mary E. Gill
mer, Eliza K. Royle, Sarah Reed, Han
nah .. Travis, Luacine HOge. Emma L.
Mcmillan, Dora L. Cotton, Mrs. John J.
DAILY, Ruth NJ. Wood, Hettv NJ. CritchlOw
Ella c. Putnam, Katie Haywood Kim
ball, J. Cameron Brown and Emma j.
McNicker
In the fall of 1886 a building commit
tee had been appointed and in January
1887. they turned the State street home
over to the association, In April of that
year the $1,400 mortgage, the only indebt-
edness on the property, was Cancelled and
a neat sum put into the treasury with
the proceeds and subscription concert
