Dr. Houghton Became a Visitor to the Institution—The Three Babies Mrs. Kilbride Got to Nurse and All About Them—Distressfal Glimpses at the Lying-in Home, Since the death of the child at the woman Kil- bride’s house, and the subsequent investigation by the Coroner, much indignation has of course been felt in regard to “baby farming.” Mrs. Doran, who keeps the lying-in institution in West Twenty-sixth street, has been severely criticised on all sides, and her manner of making a livelihood characterized as most iniquitous under every aspect in which it can be viewed. Mrs. Doran, however, does not quite coincide with the opinions expressed concerning her, and her indig- nation consequent upon the aspersions cast upen her knows no bounds. A HERALD reporter yesterday called upon the Rev. Dr. Houghton, pastor of “the uttle church round the corner,” to ascertain from him his opinion as to Mrs. Doran’s egtablishment, Dr. Houghton has had spiritual charge of some of the unfortunate gitls who have taken refuge in the Doran institution for their accouchement, they being of the Episcopalian denomination and he being sent for by Mrs. Doran. The Doctor states that about twelve months ago he ‘was first asked by Mrs. Doran to attend a girl who was very low with sickness and utterly iriendless. He did all he could for her, both by spiritual min- istration and by communication with her inends. In all, during the year, there were four girls mem- bers of the Episcopalian Church whom he attended, and his visits to them were frequent—bis presence as aclergyman in every case doing a great deal of good in cheering the unfortunate girls and making them for the time more reconciled to their unhappy fate. During these visits the most favor- able impression was created in his mind as to the management and general conduct of Mrs. Doran’s institution. So far as he could see she was a kind- hearted lady, and did all she could forthe poor girls who sought shelter and assistance at her hands. He regretted that so much injustice should have been done her since the child’s deat at the woman Kilbride’s house. ‘The reporter also paid a visit to Mrs, Doran, at the lying-in institution, No. 148 West Twenty-sixth street, He found Mrs. Doran willing enough to tell everything she knew about the babies and “baby farming’? so far as the subject was con- nected with her own business. Before proceea- ing to explain ner position in the recent difficulty she showed the reporter the diploma for mid- wifery she had reccived from the Lying-in Hos- pital in Great Britain street, Dublin, and other testimonials as to her character and her pro- ficiency in her business. She also exhibited the testimonial of two physicians who had been attached to the hospital on Ward’s Island, where she had served as midwife for two years. ‘this having been dons she expressed the greatest regret thut some of the news- papers should have said some cruel words avout the Rev. Dr. Hougivon. Mrs. Doran spoke in terms of sincere admiration of the kindliness and Christian charity which Dr. Houghton had mani- lested in coming to the institution to utter words of comfort to poor girls who,were in the deptus of despair for their folly. These remarks in the news- papers, she said, had been seen by Dr. Hough- ' ton, and he had since called to assure her that he Was Still ready to come to the institution when- ever any of the inmates, in their destitute condi- top, needed his spiritual advice or Christian help. “Because others migjudge us and calumoiate us,’? he said, “that 1s no reason why a clergyman should shrink from periormiog tus duty.” Mrs. Doran jurther added that Dr. Houghton’s kindness was all tne more SaSTee epson uanaprraens it ipnesa institution, = : ‘he midwife then Went on to explain the circum- stances in connection with the Kilbride ailair, and tp aoing so interspersed her remarks with many ejacu- lations of wonder that toe Coroner aud all otuers could not have got at the true facts immediately, She said:—“It is & mistake to-think that J Jarm out babies.

Dr. Hougnton was called on to attend a giri of the Episcopalian belief, ‘This girl’s child was the second I had given to the woman Kilbride. £ had given her one betore—the little boy, about whom all the papers bave spoken 80 much, who ‘was seen at Mrs. Kilbride’s house when the vor- ‘ Oner and all the others went there. Badly as Mra, Kubride has spoken lately, 1 must do her ; tne justice to say that she took the best “of care of that little boy, thougn. she never got any money for his support, except. ior @ lew weeks at the beginning.

Having become interested in the poor girl and wishing to help her, I asked her to what Chureh she bejonged, and she said she was an Episcopalian, I told her would go to Dr. Houghton and ask him to come and see her. Dr. Houghton responded promptiy, and after a few visits she began to jee) as if she was not alone in the world. In the meantime Dr. Houghtun had gone to see het mother and sisters, and they at once begged of him to look * alter her, premising to meet ali the expenses. The Doctor soon paid me all that was due me, and con- tinued to pay the girl’s board until aiter ber con- finement. The child that was born was a poor, wi sickly thing that was drooping froin the hour ofits birth. Beileving her to be a good nurse Trecommended Mra.
