The sum \ of $5o00 was voted to the credit of Rt. Rev. William A. Hickey, coadjutor bishop for the diocese of Providence, to be used by Yhin in making i'm provements in the Rhode Island Working Boys Home. This home was established in 1898 and Miss Mary Callahan has been the only natron. It was said at the meeting that an effort was to be made to haye sir1i- lar homes in Pawcatuck, Newport, Woonsocket and possibly Westerly.
 Bishop Hickey, who is supreme spiritual director of the organization, spoke on The Catholic Charitable h. stftutions of the Diocese. He said that public charity lacks the warmth of love found in religious philanthro- py. The establishment and nlaifte- nance by the church of schools, hos pitals and asylunis for the relief of pain and poverty was a tremendous task. He proposed that the Holy
 Name societies assume the oversight
 and take special interest in orphan working boys of Rhode Island. Judge John w. Sweeney of Wester- ly, an associate justice of the su- preme court of the state, spoke in fa- ! yor of the suggestion, declaring that the boys are the future citizens of the state, and the care of those deprived
 of parents would be an important 1 work for the society. The executive 1 late plans for raising the necessary l funds. 1 Officers were elected as follows: l James R. Cannon, president; John F.
