Abont this time of year, when the Christmas feeling begins to make itself manifest, and pa- terfamilias is beginning to resolve in bis mind the question of now he shall make the home- earts happy, the claims of these institutions which belong to the futhers of families quite as much as their own boys and girls do begin to make themselves apparent. Perhaps there is amo institution in the city which will 'appenl moro Strongly at this time of year to the pub- Uc—especially that portion of it which has families of its own—as tho Foundlings' Hos- Dital. Situated on the corner of Wood and Mad- ison strects, it extends its arms to the litue no- body's children which are always occurring in Dig cities like Chicago, tukes them in, gives 2 cradle to ench, a nurse, a pap-bottle, the best of care, and finally an adopted parent or parents, who are saddicd with as much respousibility for the care and future welfare of their cift as any duly organized conjugal couple 10 the lund. A particulur Teature —con- with ‘the Foundifngs’ Home is the fect that—and there is no implied censure in the statement—it is a hand-to-mouth insti; tution. It bas no “foundation,” no financial backing fn the thousands upon which to rely in case of need. Built upon the xifts of the men and women and children of Chicago, 1t bas re- Hed since upun the gifts of the public for the earrying on of its beneficent work, and it is pleasant to be uble to say that the gifts of the public nave been xt all times equal to the occa: sion. There bave been tines when the outlook seemed cloudy, when it really looked as though the pap-bottles would go empty for lack of the replenishing materini, but always a timely suc- cor urrived, the emergency was hedged over, and the stormy, not to say squally, threatenings d away. “The Instivation 1s essentially one of the peo- fe. It may be sald that every time a Iffe-luden Basicet is hia inthe porch of the Home, the Chicago public nasa baby, This occurs very often; the public is having babies much oftener thon it ig aware of, and this fact alone ought to wake it fully alive to the claims of the institu- Hon, whose claims are all the stronger from fact'that its managers make it a point on no occasion to appear in the role of beggars for tho lic favor, ‘The truth is that they are, per- ps, a trite 00 INDEPENDENT IX THIS RESPECT: Yesterday evening a ‘TRIBUNE reporter, who éaligd at the Hone inorder to find out its bres ‘ent financial standing, bad the greatest ditliculty fm inducing the Matron—s lady who bus acted a3 mother to more babies than any thousand Chl- ago murried ladies combined—to make any stutement regarding the present condition of the fnstitution. She insisted thatthe Home never had appeared in tho role of a mendicant: and that Dr. Sbtpman, its abie manager, would be intensely amazed If anything sboul happen would muke it appear as such, ° west anid the reporter, “the public have an interest in the Home, and they--will want to know bow you are getting along at this time of the year. At any rate, you can have no objec tion in telling me how’ many baby-tenants you have at the present time?” A “Well, wenuve fifty-cight babies just now. “How old?" «From two days to fifteen months.’ « How many grown peuple live in the Home?" “Thirty-nine, of whom twenty-seven are de- pendent girls, tho remainder being workers in the institution.” ~Would it be impertinent of me to inquire the amount of your present resources in cash?" “I believe we huve somewhere between $8 and $10 on hand.” “That is nota very large amount. How are you of for provisions?” “Well, the stock is not very large; in fact, ,, But you must not | just now it is not at aif la publigh this in Tae TrBox! “But are you not nervous, with Christmas coming on, and so uncomfortable a lookout at band?" * No; we have never wanted since the institu- tion was started. We have never wanted a meal, aad we have never had any accumulation of either funds or provisions on hana. We trust to the Lord, and He has never failed_to provide through the charity of the people. The institu- tion's wants ure eptirely supplied by free con- tribudons. and they bave always been well sup- lied. There have been times wneo we bave n, to use a vulgar expression, decidediy ‘sbort,’ but we have always managed to come out all right, and I tbink that our faith In the future will not be misplaced.” LARGE CONTRACTS BY BANKERS, Few persons have any idea ot the immense amount of business which is being transacted daily in the line of fire and burglar proof safes. Hall's Safe and Lock Company, at 147‘and 149 Dearborn strect, Chicago, are undoubtedly the Jeading manufacturers of this classof goods. They: have supplied 1 raflroad companies, nearly .1,300 county officials, and among them sixty-five of a total of cighty- eight Counts Treasurers in Ohio, thirty in Indiana, nineteen In Minnesota, and thirty- fonr in lowa. They have filled large con- tracts for safe-deposit vaultd and safes in New York City, Baltimore, Pittsburg, New Orieans, Columbus, Portland, St. Louis, and San Francis- oo, and over 3,000 banks.
