History OF Institution.
The history Of st Authony's or
phanagc the only institution Of the
Kind in New Mexico, Is a tribute to
the self-sacrifcing zeal and devotion
Of few consccrated men and women

ference of state and local authorities
10 one of the noblcst charities in th
state.
4 donation by Archbishop Pitaval
OF $40. 600 and by the Jesuit fathers of
fifty acres Of land formed the nucleus
of tho fund for the erection Of the
building Architect ]. l.. LaDriere

needs Of the orphanage and the ex
pansion Of the work that II is doing
have created the imperative need of
increased funds for It's maintenance.
one technicality after another has
served as an excuse for the refusal of
aid by the authorities. There has been
plenty of money for charities of other
description, but none for this. Cen
crous contributions have been made
for state fair purposes and lavish ex-
penditures INDUCED in for the pur-
pose of bringing outside people TO the
state. but not a cent for saving the ba-
bics and youths that are already here.
An appeal is being made by those
in charge of the orphanage for finan-
cal assistance TO enable them to CON
tinue the work that they have been
on. ana men and women of
every faith and creed are asked To aid
an institution which knows no church
in the charity that ii be-
slows. 1t is certain that if the SPLEEN
did service that is being rendered by
st. Anthony's orphanage were gener-
ally known this appeal would meet
with a generous response
