RESULTS OF HIS OFFICIAL SUPERVISION His Comments on the Different Institutions Examined. ESTIMATES FOR NEXT YEAR Bee Bone ee ‘The annual report of Mr. John Tracey, the superintendent of charities, has been submitted to the District Commissioners. At the outset Mr. Tracey states that “in the District of Columbia there are seventy well established charitable and reformatory institutions and associations, devoted to the care of the indigent, the helpless, throvgh childhood or extreme old age; the sick, the injured and the wayward. Of these thirty-five receive no public aid. These self-sustaining benevolent organiza- tions, for the most part founded through the munificence of philanthropic men and women, living and dead, are currently sup- ported by individual contributions from not only the rich, but also from those of mod- erate means and the relatively poor. That they exist and thrive without official sup- port is one manifestation of the never fail- ing charity of the residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia, which was signally il- lustrated in the successful relief movement during the hard winter of the past year. It is fitting that this acknowledgment of the abundant charity of the federal city should be made by the superintendent,upon whom the law places responsibility for supervisory co-operation, not only with of- ficial and semi-oflicial institutional char- ities, but also with “other charitable work of the Distric Candid observation re- futes the erroneous opinion, still frequent- ly urged, especially in connection with congressional discussion of appropriations, that the benevolent establishments of Washington constitute an imposition upon the United States government, and an un- due burden upon the treasury. Self-Sustaining Work of Benevolence On the contrary, rot only is half the of- ficial outley for charities through the Dis- trict appropriations met by the local tax- ation, but a much larger sum is given with free hand, without governmental interven- tion. Prominent among the local works of benevolence, self-sustaining, as regards the government, are: The Associated Chari- ties, the Epiphany Home for Aged Women, the Home for the Aged of the Little Sis- ters of the Poor, the Lenthall Home for Widows, the Louise Home, the Lutheran Eye, Ear and Throat Infirmary, St. Vin- cent’s Female Orphan Asylum, the Wash- ington City Orphan Asylum, the Washing- ton Humane Society for ‘Children, the Washington Home for Incurables, the So- ciety of St. Vincent de Paul, the Deaconess Home, the Central Union’ Mission, the United Hebrew Charities. Those That Receive Public Support. The asylums, refcrmatories, homes, in- dustrial schools, dispensaries and benevo- lent agencies that receive support from the public funds are thirty-five in number. Of these there are twenty-four specifically provided for in the District appropriation bill, six indirectly through allotment from the poor fund, granted in that enactment, twe through the sundry civil bill and three through departmental appropriation acts. Private means contribute in greater or less degree, varying from 10 per cent to 95 per cent, to the maintenance of the establishments. The strictly official instt- tutions, tha: is to say, those supported ex- clusively by public funds and located on property owned or rerted by the govern- ment, number eleven in all. The fact that some of these institutions supported entire- ly by taxation are managed by incorpor tors not designated by public authorities is not material to the purpose of this clas- sification. The form of management in several such cases is in process of change, and soon the rule will prevail that the directors or trustees of official institutions shall be ap- pointed by the Commissioners of the Dis- trict of Columbia, or by higher authority. Entirely and Partially Aide Of the recipients of appropriations through the District bill, those supported entirely at public cost are the Washington Asylum, the Reform School of the District of Columbia, the Government Hospital for the Insane, the Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, the Municipal Lodging House, the Temporary Home for ex-Union Soldiers and Sailors, the Columbia Hos- pital for Women, the Freedmen’s Hospital and Asylum, the Reform School for Girls, the Industrial Home School, the Board of Children’s Guardians, The aided institutions in which public grants supplement unofficial resources are as follows: The Woman's Christian Asso- ciation, the Central Dispensary and Emer- gency Hospital, the Children’s Hospital, the Homeopathic Dispensary, the Eastern Dispensary, the Women’s Dispensary, the Hope and Help Mission, the Aged Woman's Home, the Newsboys and Children’s Aid Society, the Washington Hospital for Foundlings, the Church Orphan Associa- tion of St. John’s Parish, the German Or- phan Asylum, the National Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Children, St. Ann's Infant Asylum, St. Jo- seph’s Asylum, the Association for Works of Mercy The appropriations for strictly official organizations proposed for the coming fis- cal year amount to $385,745. The appropriations for the conducted by — unofficial part with private funds amount to $92,700, As closely as can be estimated, exclusive of the Government Insane Asylum and the Columbia Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, the relations of which with the District are only partial and invidental, the value of the property occupied by District institutions derived from public sources is about $000,- 000, while the value of that derived from private sources is ,approximately, $1,100,000, Duties of the Superintendent. Mr. ‘Tracey quotes the law which de- fines the duties of the superintendent, and states that the duties thus imposed, ad- visory as to legislation and administrative organization, are necessarily of an execu- tive nature in the general expenditures authorized by law. Frequent inspection of institutions and offices, he says, is an essential part of the superintendent's duty. Such inspections, he adds, are not made at merely stated intervals, but as often as practicable, and especially when- ever, through requisitions, reports, applica- tion or information from any source there 1s a belief in opportunity for improving efficiency or remedying a fault. Since July 1, INM4, over 200 visits of inspection, the report states, have been made to local in- stitutions, and to some in other cities for the purpose of comparing operations, with a view to improving local methods and appliances. In addition to the authority given by law there is a standing order of the Commissioners, which sends to the superintendent as their examining agent, as well as tor his official information and guidance, all financial papers within his province regarding the objects provided for in the District bill. No Sweeping Changes In the Law. The superintendent states that it ts not deemed desirable to ask that there be made at the coming short session of Con- gress any sweeping changes of law relat- ing to the supervision and general direc- tion of the charities and reformatories of the District. By the exercise of power already conferred upon the local authdri- ties. many further improvements in. the line uf duty of the superintendency can be made under existing laws without new congressional action. The report refers to the good results of the time devoted ing the recent long session of Congre: the local officials and directorates to do with charities and corr » and of the congressional committees on ap- propriations in the consideration and set- tlement of fundamental questions of in- stitutional management, and the relations of charitable and reformatory organiza- tions to each other. “Institutions, reformatory institutions corporations in and property ving ti and correc- tional, for the more mature, as well as those devoted to childhood care and in- struction,” the report states, “which had been crippled in benevolent work, are re- yiving in unincumbered action in their re- spective spheres; more good is being ac- complished and paralyzing-contentions are subsiding. A session of récuperative rest under legislative appropriations and ar- rangements varying littig in substance from those made for the qurrent year will surely show Lancing aro in systema- tizing, developing, cMeapening and im- proving the charitab and correctional system of the District pf Columbia.” Institutio Detail He states that this § thg fourth annual report since the establishment of the super- intendent of charities, ari for the first time a very general reporting of the insti- tutional details from the it of the respective associations is presented, The statements cf thé report have been trought down to the lat test practicable date, and in comparing estimates with ap- propriations referencexis made to the law as it now is instead of making merely per- functory return of what Was done under enactments in force prior to the 30th of last June. He speaks of the composite charecter of Washington’s works of chur- ity and reform, and says that “to cramp these activities by a procustean rule of en- fcrced uniformity would be to baffle be- nevolence, to increase public burdens and to deplete the arsenal of munitions for con- tests with ignorance, want and vice.” ‘The superintendent says that in addition te the request for increased appropriations and for the transfer from the poor fund al- lotment list to the congressional Hst there have been received applications for sub- sidies from several charitable organiza- Uons not now in receipt of ofticial aid. Among these is one from the Young W: man’s Christian Heme and the Home for Friendless Girls, and he states that no doubt a specific application will be made to Congress in both instances. The hope is expressed that success may soon attend the laudable project for uniting the nurses’ training schocls of Washington hospitals in one federation under one management, in order that nurses may heve wider op- portunities for perfected education through attendance upon establishments dedicated tu the various professional specialties. He says that the probability of an application to Congress to promote such a union of training schools renders allusion to the plan appropriate in the report. Estimates for Next Year. The estimates for the support of charit- able and reformatory institutions, submit- ted for the District of Columbia appro- priation bill fer the service of the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1896, amount to $174,745, as against $419,575.37; allowed for the current fiscal year. The items constitut- ing this aggregate are all those embraced in the echedules “reformatories and prisons” and “for charities,” with the ex- ception of those for the maintenance of the District jail and the transportation of convicts. The latter form part of the ju- dicial machinery of the government, ratier than of the local works of benevolence to the needy, reformation of the wayward, instruction of the indigent and curative care of the sick or injured. Charitable and Reformatory. The report states that the present ar- rangement of these schedules is open to criticism as M!logical aid unscientific, and that it is evidently desirable that a change should be made, so as to place within one schedule the charitable and reformatory institutions and organizations of the Dis- trict, so as to distinguish between the work of charity and that of reform. The items of the estimates falling within the field of charities and reformatories are as follows: For the Washington Asylum the estimate is $73,308, the appropriation for the pres- ent year being 362,432.02, Application is made for another ward. at @ cost of $4,500, so that the hospital accomamodations’ for colored males may be*@n an equal footing for those of white males. The reform school of; the. District. “For this great reformatory,” thp report states, “the sum of $47,722 is asked, $3: being the appropriation for "thé current fiscal The principal hew litem is for a ouse and oven, a fenewal of last recommendation fav $2,600 to re- lace a structure which in its present con- dition is extravagant in waste of fuel and is a constant menace to the safety of a great property.” The jrepgrt states that the items for new roofs, repairs and fer ing are urgently called fay, and of equal urgency is the remainder éf the new ap- propriation, which is to, enable the new family building erected finder the appro- priation made two years ago to be occu- pied. ‘The appropriation of $4220 and of $10,- 500 for the Columbia Institution for the Deaf and Dumb is made in accordance with the sections of the Revised Statutes. The axgzegate of t ove charitable and reform items the amount for the current 0,074.02. edule. Under the schedule for charities, the ag- gregate of appropriations asked for is $245, $70 as against $219,501.35 for the current fiscal year. The items constituting this total are as follows: For the relief of the poor, $14,000, the same amount as in an- nexed the next two preceding years. This amount includes the items of $500 each for the Homeopathic Dispensary and for the Eastern Dispensary, aud while an increased allowance was asked in both instances the report states that it was not deemed des! able to ask an increase of the poor fund, so as to cover greater distributions to estab- lishments that are making applications for direct and open appropriations. In regard to the item of $500 for the Hope and Help Mission the report says that all that could be done in response to the requests made last spring for increased public aid was to continue the allotment from the poor fund. “If Congress should see fit,” adds the re- port, “to include the establishment among the recipients of direct and specific appro- priations the money will undoubtedly be judiciously expended in the accomplishment ‘of much good."" In regard to the Newsboys’ ome and Children’sAid Society,the report states that, in addition to the $500 allotted from the poor fund, this home received during the last fiscal year $661.57 for temporary care of wards of the bos 1 of chile guar- dians. “It is submitted states the report, “for the consideration of Congress whether it would ot be desirable to transfer to the appropriation s edules the allotments from the poor fund to institutions and leave the District fund for relief of the poor at the disposal of the local authorities for v more directly in consonance with the ti of the fund.” The report states that the municipal lodging house, a public place of reception fer wayfarers, has, by two years’ expe- rience, fully ‘justified its estabiishment. The statistics of its work show that of the $4,000 appropriated all but S746.14 were ex- pended; 5,530 men were cared for. The re- port of the superintendent of the house urging a change of location is included. The-report states that strenuous effort to raise the standard of the temvorary home for ex-Union soldiers and sailors and to improve its efficiency are meeting with success. A continuance of the appropria- tion of $2,500 is asked for, There is no change proposed by the estimate of $1,000 for the Woman's Christian Association, which the report characterizes as a mod- erate return for the support of an average of sixty-two inmates. The Various Hosp’ Congress wisely incrégsed: the appropria- tion for the Central Dispensary and Emer- gency Hospital last year, the report states, ard further application made to promote the exclusively publio service rendered. There is occasion for ‘better arrangement of the ambulance service and for other hospital service, as weil as for the development of the training’ school. The es- timate for the coming fiscal year is $12,000, the sum allowed for, the’ current year. The appropriation for ‘the maintenance of the Columbia Hospital, for ;Women recom- mended is $20,000, the same as that of the current year. The report states that the great advantage of a) thorobughgoing sys- tem of professional nursing and education of nurses is illustrated in this hospital and in the connection of its nursing s tem with the Children’s Hospital. benefits are shown inthe improved ice in the Washington Hospital for Found- lings.

National Hernial inatitetes Wesbington 1421 G St. Opposite Branch, Riggs House. Lid | an increase to $20,000, sustaining Home for Incurables, has, dur- ing the past two years, very greatly im- proved. the medical service of the city. An appropriation of $10,000 for the Chil- dren’s Hospital is recommended, being the same as in former years. The report states that an application has been made for an increase on the ground of increased capacity, and adds that this time-honored and excellent establishment is eminently worthy of favorable regard. An appropriation of $9,000 is recom- mended for the National Homeopathic Hospital, an increase of $1,000 over that of last year. The superintendent states that it is his duty to urge this increase, founded as it is on extensive improvements that have been made at private cost and telnet render the hospital of greater public utility. An allowance of $58,525 is asked for the Freedman's Hospital and Asylum, an in- crease of $5,500, which is asked for chiefly for the establishment of a nurses’ training school. The superintendent regards it es- sential for the welfare of the hospital itself that its system of nursing be improved. He states that the application of the sys tem of the hospital drawing its supplies directly from the supply department of the District, and District financial control, has proved a complete success. He suggests whether it would not be wise that the same methods of supply and payment should be made applicable to all charitable and reform institutions within the District, maintained exclusively by public funds. The management of the reform school for girls has been placed upon the same foot- ing, with like good results. The municipal lodging house is on the same basis, and the temporary home for Union soldiers and sailors, the report states, certainly ought to be. The superintendent thinks an excep- tion may be recognized in the case of the reform school for boys on account of the great extent and long-established methods of that institution and the intricacies of accounting arising from repayments to the Department of Justice. This rule, the re- port states, has been recognized in the esti- mates in the proviso drawn for the trans- formation of the Industrial Home School from a private to a public corporation. The estimate for the reform school for girls is $43,145, an increase of $9,425. An item of $28,000 for addition to buildings and one of $2,200 for steam heating and water closets in place of the Smead heating system ard dry earth closets is included. The same appropriation of $6,000 is recommended for the Washington Hospital for Foundlings. The report notes that this institution has recently much improved in nursing methods and in the results of charitable work. Homes and Asylams. ‘The report states that the church orphan- age of St. John’s parish is admirably end economically managed by a sisterhood of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the same appropriation of $1,800 as that of last year is recommended. The report states that the case of the German Orphan Asylum as to appropriations is similar to that of St. John’s Orphanage. ‘The continuance of the present appro- priation of 4,000 is recommended for the National Association for the Relief of Des- titute Colored Women and Children, and the report states that this institution is deserving of the help it gets. A continuance of the allowance of $5,400 Infant Asylum is recommend- ts through the board of chil- dren’s guardians, the report states, have been very small, the board not having at any tne more than two wards at the in- stitution, For St. Joseph's Asylum an appropria- tion of $1,Sv0 is recommended. The report states that the asylum has received no in- come through the board of children’s guardians. A continuance of the present appropriation of $1,800 is recommended for the Association for Works of Mercy, man- aged by an Episcopalian sisterhood, and also the continuance of the appropriation of $2,700 for the House of the Good Shepherd urder the maragement of a Roman Cath- olic sisterhood. A renewal of the appro- priation of $4,500 for St. Rose Industrial School is recommended. The estimate for the Industrial Home School is $13,000, ‘The appropriation for the current fiscal year i 00, and during the last 1 year, 3 “) was received from the board ‘of children’s guardians. At the request of the management of the school it is proposed to transform it from a pri- vate into a public corporation, and it is provided that wards of the board of chil- a guardians sent to the school shall, to the extent of its capacity to receive them, In addition to other inmates, be supported without charge. For the board bf children’s guardians the total appropriation for the current fiscal year is $17,000, The estimates recommend and to this, the re- port states, is to be added the saving of the board of payments to the Industrial Home School. It is fair to assume, the re- port adds, on the basis of past payments, that the receipts from the home school will amount to not less than $2,500. The report of the board, the supe: states, asks for an allowanc support of children and 3 for other expenses. The Contagious Hospital Site. The report reviews the e‘forts made to secure a site for hospital for infectious diseases, which from the outset it was de- termined to limit strictly to minor infec- tious diseases and to exclude from it ex- clusively all cases of nature contagious. The report gives a review of the similar institutions in other cities. Owing to op- position, the superintendent states, the Commissioners abandoned the idea of erect- ing isolation wards in connection with en established hospital and finally selected a te for a separate public establishment, which, he states, is upon high ground and readily accessible from all parts of the city. An appropriation of $5,000 for the mainten- ance of the institution during the next fiscal year is recommended, which, the re- port siates, will certainly not be more than adequate for salaries and support of the attendants and for medical and other sup- plies. oe Some Night Fires. Saturday evening about 7 o'clock an larm of fire was sounded from box 426 for fire in the woodyard of McDonald & Jones, on 2d street southeast between N and O streets. Just how the fire caught is not known, but when Policemen Klinger and Bruce turned in the alarm the flames had gained considerable headway. The sheds and other property destroyed were valued 000, ‘There was also a slight fire at the resi- dence of W. A. Donaldson, No. 920 Florida avenue. Last night about 11:49 o'clock a lamp in the window of George Henson's grocery store, on F street southwest, was over- turned and the result was that the flames did about WO damage. a ey Jo Reunion.

BOTELER & SON, 923 Penna, Ave. N.W. 020-284 BUSINESS METHODS, Dr. Brown Spenks of the Way Church Work is Done. At Foundry M. E. Church yesterday morning the pastor, Rev, Dr. Oliver A. Brown, delivered to a very large audience @ sermon on “Business in Religion,” taking for his text Luke xvi: 8. “The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.” The sermon was thoroughly up to date and full of tell- ing business comparisons and suggestions in religious work, commanding the close attention of the audience to the end. Dr. Brown said he was not there to preach a conventional sermon, but to give them a Plain business talk. He feared that it is just as true now as in the time of our Lord that many people are wiser sbout earthly things than spiritual and heavenly things; that they put more time and more earnestness and more sense into their bus- iness than into their religion. There is a singular tendency in people, when they enier the realm of the religious, to act as if they had suddenly passed out from un- der principles of action which are gener- ally accepted as governing human conduct into entirely new conditions and under new principles. He illustrated this ten- dency by reference to change of facial ex- pression, and tones of voice and difference of manner whenever the religious life was referred to. Even in the administration of the material affairs of the church the long tried and accepted and best business prin- ciples were sometimes disregarded, and untried and uncertain and sometimes very doubtful schemes of administration were adopted. It ought not so to be. The prin- ciples which make ordinary business suc- cessful should be applied to church work. 1. Organization, thorough and complete, il- lustrated by the great combination stores of our day. 2. Attention, without which no business, great or small, can succeed, though every other condition be fulfilled, and (3) broader work and new supplies for changed conditions and greater needs. Throw open wide the more than six mil- lion dollars’ worth of churches in our city and make them great distributing centers, not for Sunday alone, but for every day of the week. The tendency of the times points most clearly to great institutional churches, from which shall constantly flow out streams of spiritual and material blessings 0 all people. Dr. Brown closed by saying: “Allow me to drop into prophecy. I can see on the site of this church, in my judg- ment at this present time the best bu: ness site in the city of Washington—a mag- nificent structure covering this entire plot of ground—known as the Foundry Metho- dist Church and Mission House, which shall be a glorious fountain of good and give joy to the angels of God.” —_——>—.
