Archbishop Prendergast attended a
solemn pontltlcnl Mass, celebrated In the
chapel of St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum,
Seventh and Spruce streets, nt 10 o'clock
this morning. Tho mass was held In
commemoration of tho 100th anniversary
of the foundation of the orphanngo. The
celebrant was Bishop McCort.
"Old" St. Joseph's, as the orphanage has
been known to thousands of Catholics
for more than half a century, Ib the old
est Institution of Its kind In the United
States, having been founded In 1797. The
orphanage at that early date was main
tained through the kindness of wealthy
Catholics, who opened tho house as a
temporary homo for the children of poor
parents who had fallen victims of the
yellow fever scourge In that year.
From Its start the home was looked
after by lay members of tho Catholic
Church. It was located in a little dwell
ing next door to Holy Trinity Chuichr
on South Sixth street. The first board
of managers were the trustees of the
church, in 1514 the work becume of
such importance to the Catholics of Phil
adelphia that Mother Beton, then the
Mother Superior of the Sisters of Charity,
In Kmmetsburg, Md., was petitioned to
place several sisters In charge of the
orphanage.
Tho sisters took chnrgc of tho Instltu.
Hon on October 6, 1814, in the Sixth street
house. In 1836 the home waa removed
to the present location at Seventh and
Spruce streets. Several other houses were
purchased and changed into the present
home.
Many thousands of needy children have
been cared for and given an education by
tho sisters. At present KO little children
are looked after In the big house of "Old"
St. Joseph's. The vaat majority of the
children educated at the home have gone !
out Into the business world and met with
success. Many of the once poor orphans
are now innuential business or profes
sional men, who have never forgotten
their childhood days spent In old St.
Joseph's.
Many names prominent on the list of
donors In recent years are those of men
who once were Inmates of the home.
Some of these men were notd'ed by the
older sisters at tnis mornings celebra
tion. After the Pontifical Mass this I
morning, the house was open to all vis
itors and will remain so all day
The rounding out qt a century of chari
table work well done will occupy lust one
day oi the asylum's busy time. The cele-
Faperhnngers Escape With Repri
mand After Breaking Blue Law3.
Frank Ooodlsh, 315 Heed street, and
Michael Chodnow, 4212 Market street, es
caped with a reprimand this morning
when arraigned before Magistrate Grells,
at the Falls of Schuylkill station, on the
charge of violating the blue laws by
working on Sunday.
The men declared that owing to the loss
of time due to recent holidays they had
to work Sundays to catch up. They Vere
arrested by Special Policemen AVTiltlng
and Prendergast while hanging paper at
an operation at 24th street and Allegheny
