Catholic Orphan Asylum: The ad-
dition to the Catholic Orphan Asylum
for Boys at Chicago Avenue and 46th
| Street, Minneapolis, is rapidly ap-
preaching completion. The plastering
is done and the interior finish is being
put on. 1t is expected that the new
building will be ready for occupancy
about Christmas and will afford much
needed accommodation for the orphan
children in charge of the Sisters of
st. Joseph. 1t is a four-story structure
with ample accommodations for class
rooms, dormitories, ETC., and is thor
oughly modern throughout. We have
already described it in detail and it
is only necessary to compliment those
in charge on the care with which all
the needs of the children have been
provided for in the new home. At
present there are about one hundred
orphans in the institution and it is
expected that the number will be
greatly increased as soon as the new
building is ready for occupancy. The
Sisters in charge are planning a
Christmas sale of fancy articles to
begin on the first of December and
continue until the twentieth. This
will afford the friends of the orphan
age an opportunity to show their ap-
probation of the good work which
the Sisters are doing and thus help to
defray the cost of the new building.
The Chaplain's house on the
grounds of the orphanage is under
going complete remodelling and
renovation. The exterior has been
covered with stucco. many changes
have been made in the rooms on the
first floor and the second floor has
been partitioned off into additional
sleeping quarters. A new furnace and
heating plant has been installed to-
gether with hot and cold water lava
tories and a toilet. The grounds
