Referring to the Government Hospital for the Iusane, the report says: “This hospital was established by act of Several matters March 3, 1855. It is managed. by a board | of visitors (nine citizens of the District of Columbia), appointed by the President, and is supported by congressional appropria- tion, the expenditure of which Is under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior. The institution has an area of 350 acres of land, known as St. Elizabeth, from the title of the original grant; also outlying agricultural lands of upward of 450 acres. ‘The fourteen hospital buildings can com- fortably accommodate abcut 1,400 patients. The estimated cost of the entire property, of which the title is in the United States, is something over $1,000,000, This is the only United States hospital for the insane. It provides fer the insane of the army and navy, marine corps, reverue cutter service, National Home for Disab!ed Volunteer Sol- diers, the indigent insane of the District of Columbia, and insane United States con- victs ana criminals, Under the law, in- sane inmates of the Scldiers’. Home at Washington, D. C., and the insane of the marine hospital service are cared for in this institution. “The annral report of the board of visit- ors shows that during the year 2,052 per- sons have been urder treatment, #50 have died or have been discharged; 1,702 re- mained in the hcspital on the 3vth of June, 1s The number of admissions, 371, a: average of more than one a day, is an ex- cess «ver that of any year since the war, while the number under treatment during the year, 2,052, exceeds that of any. pre- vious year, and the daily average is nearly fifty more than ever before. The mortality of the year, 179 deaths, is 10 per cent of the average number and 8.72 per cent of the whole number under treatment, Ninety- three of the deaths were of soldiers and sailors. Attention js directed to the greut increase of sickness in the hospital during the past season, due largely to the in, lubrity of the adjoining river flats, conse. quent upon a suspension of the work of fill- ing them during the past two years. ‘The superintendent recommends that the atten- tiou of Congress be called to this very im- portant matter. The report contains a somewhat detailed and interesting state- ment of the buildings provided for the in- sane, the classification and arrangement thereof, together with outlined plans show- ing the different tracts of government land occupied by said buildings and devoted to the employment and recreation of the classes for whom the provision was made. ‘The estimate for current expenses is $268,000, and is based on an annual eost of $220 per capita for an estimated average number of 1,675 persons. Apptopriations of $20,000 for general repairs and improve- ments, $7,000 for rebuilding carpenter and machine shop, $1,500 for a laboratory ex- tension to the pathological department, $4,500 for heatirg apparatus for the new building now near completion, 36,000 for electric fans for the hospital wards and resistance coils for the dining rooms, $2,400 for renewing and fire proofing floors in two wards of the main building, and $2,500 for the erection of a kitchen and dining room for the harmless insane domiciled at the new farm are also solicited. ‘The’ reasons for these expenditures, .which appear to be conclutive, are fully set forth in the re- port, and are commended to the favorable consideration of Congress, < For the Deaf Mutes.

MONEY WANTED FOR ADDITIONAL ROOM Desirability of Separating Innocent Girls From Criminals. FARM FACILITIES LACKING Mr. William Endicott, jr., president of the hoard of trustecs of the Girls’ Keform School of tits Disirict, has submitted to the Attorney General tne third annual report of the irustees of that institution, covering the operations of the last fiscal ycar. The Girls’ Reform School was opened Novem- ber 6, 189%. During the year ended June 30, 1894, thirty-eight girls were committed to the school, of which number we released. During the year endel June 4 fourteen girls were committed to the school, of which number thirteen were re- ieased. Since the opening of the school, therefore, fifty-two girls have been received and nineteen have been released. Altkough the building is intended for the accommodation of but twenty-nine girls, President Endicott says taat the trustees have tried the experiment of In- creasing its capacity by placing five girls in one of the larger rooms and two girls in some of the smaller oncs, and at times the schvol has had thirty-six girls. He suys, however, that the pian does not work well, and that it is the intention of the tlustees to reduce the number to twenty- nine, and then refuse to take any more girls. he law establishing 1s’ Reform nool provides that all the sections of the eet of May 2, "1876, in regard to the “Ke- form School of the District of Columbia,” ull apply to the Girls’ Reform School.

The Building. The report contains a brief statement of the condition of the building and appur- tenance: The gutters, cornices indow frames and doors of the exterior of the building are in need of painting. Owing to the change of the heating system the re- port says that the interior of walls which have never been peinted will be much dis- figured. Congress is asked to appropriate $1,200 for this painting. The farm at pres- at is reported to be in exccllent condition. x year some 375 bushels of potatoes will be sed upon the land, and President Endicott says he fears that they will have to be sold, because there is no place where they can be stored during the winter.

Increased Accommodations Needed. In closing his report Mr. Endicott makes the following remarks in regard to the ne- cessity for increased accommodations and to the advantage of separating the good from the bad inmates of the institution: “On behalf of the trustees of the school I desire to emphasize again the necessity of obtaining from Congress additional appro- priations in order to increase the efficiency of the school and enable the trustees to run institution upon a more economical If Congress will appropriate $50,w0 or more cells could be added to the school, and if this is done no additional force would be necessary to run the school, cept _possibly two teachers, The experi- -e of the past year has shown that the n= her home in Michigan this week time to take part in the meetings Saturday and Sunday, which will be in charge cf djutant Isabel Wood, and in.which Lieut.

M. ; Churches of this city were held on yester- | day In the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church on M street between 15th and 16th streets. It as heen the custom of the Rt. Rev. Alex- ander Wayman, the senior bishop of the church, to preach the union Thanksgiving sermon, and it was expected that he would do so yesterday, but at a late hour Dr. J. T. Jenifer, the pastor of the church, re- ceived a telegram announcing the iliness of the bishop and his inability to be present. ‘The large audience was then addressed by Dr. J. T. Jenifer upon the appropriate ob- servance of the day. He selected as the of his remarks the 107th Psalm, 1-3: “Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He !s for His mercies endureth foreve: tid that the audience ought to ac knowledge and confess with gladness the benefits and mercies which God has be- stowed upon themselves and others. He re- ferred to the President's proclamation call- ing upon ail to fittingly and thankfully ob- serve the day, and said that one must have a deserving mind and grateful heart to properiy render thanks to God for all His goodness, He said that first: those present ought to be thankful; that while sickne: amine, pestilence and death had been pri nt, that they were alive and had been the recipients of bountiful gifts. They ought to be thankful that thy aééidents of birth they were natives of America, and that they were dwellers in g, land of plenty. That they were citizens ‘of a..,Christian country, where the poor ajjd_ crimi- ral are cared for, He*thdtght that the greatest thing for wtichi his hear- ers ought to be thankful ;avas_ that Christ had died to save and redeem them; that the Gospel of Christ is yet,gtlicacious es ithe) power Ge Goa unto, salvation, and eir Christian sentijs anctifies their thanksgivings. i ae cole ———_- _ Takoma Park's Drom Corps.

The present building could be much improved upon as a reformatory insti- tution, and if Congress should decide to in- crease the capacity of the school and appro- priate the above-named sum I would re- spectfully suggest that the plans for such an addition to the school, when carefully pre- pared under the direction of the board of trustees of the is’ Reform School, be sub- mitted to the Attorney Ceneral of the United States and the Engineer Commissioner of the District 6f Columbia for their approval. “Until this school was established no effort was made in the District of Columbia to re- form colored girls. The House of the Good Shepherd in Baltimore, and, later, the House of the Good Shepherd and the House of Mercy in Washington have for some time beet active in their efforts to reform white girls. Though the reform school is not in- tended alone for colored inmates, up to the present time no white girls have been re- ceived at the institution. and I think It would be very difficult, as the school is at present constructed, to receive white girls and mix the two. In fact, it is much to be deplored that it is impossible under existing circum- to separate the good from the bad There are a few girls at the instjtu- tion who have been committed there who are guilty of any crime, and these are com- ied to come in daily contact with crim- nals. . “During the last year the change brought about in many of the giris is very satisfac- tory, and with few exceptions they are con- tent to remain at the school, do all they can to educate themselves, and they show an ambition to learn how to cook, to do laun- so that they may earn their own living. ‘The work upon the farm, ten acres of which are now under cultivation, has made great progress, and the vegetables and crops raised thereon supply the wants of the in- itution during the summer and autumn months, In the District appropriation bills the Girls’ Reform School of the District of Columbia has been placed since the found- ing of the school under the head of chari- ties and corrections, while the Boys’ Re- form School has been placed under the head of reformatories and prisons. As the two schools are practically upon the same foot- ing, it is desirable that the Girls’ Reform School should be placed under the head of reformatorles and prisons, over which the Department of Justice has control.” ee, Adam Not So Badly Of. From the Roston Courter. When Adam had shaken himself and looked around him, on the day of his crea- tion, he indulged in something like the fol- lowing solilequy: “Well, it doesn’t Icok as if I were going to have much ccmpany to keep me from being lonesome, but there is one thing I can congratulate myself upon, and that is I'm a man without a past. “] haye no foolish actions to grieve over, no notes coming due, no bad- character to live down, no breach of promise sult on my hands, no loss of lent money to kick myself akout, no creditor to make me hide jn the woods, no dun to put off till next Monday week, no Nes to manufacture to appease an angry wife, and a great many other things I haven't got to do, and last, and best of all, I'm in ro danger of being run down and killed by a bicycle ridden by a woman in bloomers. On the whole, I don’t see but that a man without a pas: is pretty well off.” i INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. AMUSEMENTS . -Page 16 ATTORNEYS -Page 5 AUCTION SALES. -Page 14 BOARDING .

The poor ol? man was well known in the sectiof mcntioned, where he cut grass and did odd jobs about houses. He had ne home, but lived about from place to place, sleeping in stables and outhouses and getting his food at houses where he worked. Last summer he called at the house of Mrs. Mary McIn- tosh, colored, No. 1708 j0th street, and Ked that he be permitted to sleep in the stable loft for a few nights. His request yas granted, and he has been there ever since. He had been in the habit of going out early in the mornirg to work, but this morning, when he failed to descend the rickety steps and leave the premises, an In- vestigation was made and the old man’s dead body was found. He was in a cramped position on a pile of old carpet and cast-off bedding, while some of the same material was over him as covering. The deceased was called ‘Tennessee’ Brown, from the fact that he came from ‘Tennessee, where he said he had a sister living. Lately he has complained of being sick, but Mrs. McIntosh thought this bad feeling was only the result of his Intemper- ate habits and paid but little attention to what he said. He was a hard drinker and seldom went to his room at night without being under the influence eof liquor. Fre- quently it was necessary for him to be as- sisted to his room in order to prevent his falling down the dangerous steps and per- haps killing himself. When the body was found this morning there was near the old man’s bed on the floor a bottle containing a small amount of whisky and a bottle of Squibbs’ mixture. The latter fluid the deceased had probably purchased when he was sick. Soon after it was known that he was dead the pelice were notified and the body was removed to the morgue. As there is no sus- picion of foul play, it is likely that no in- quest will be held, and the body will prob- ably reach potter's field tomorrow. HS eS A Dressmaking Trade School. From the Boston Evening Transcript. A trade school for girls was opened last week. A school where a woman may be taught, in.six months, the principles of a lucrative trade, where she may learn to cut, baste and sew a gown, without spending her childhood as an errand girl, and her youth in trying to gain knowledge. There will be one term of six months; the morning hours given to the theory and practice of iressmaking, the afternoon to advanced sewing and draw- ing. To the latter girls too young or too ignorant to begin dressmaking will be ad- mitted, with the other pupils, on payment of $12. This, with the expectation that they will ultimately enter for the entire course. = = FINANCIAL. 819 17th st. nw.
