ized something over 5000 at it's annual
benefit, the latter part Of January, II
was suggested by them that they would
like TO see The money gathered by them
used in establishing a free bed and the
suggestion has been adopted. This will
extend the charitable work of the insti-
tuition and help TO more fully carry out
the objects for which it was estab.
hshed.
