An epidemic of house-cleaning is raging
in the two cities, and charitable institutions
have not been exempted from the ordeal.
Ot all those institutions in the city there
arc none that do better work and that are at
the same time less known than the Pitts
bur; Hospital for Cnildren, at the corner of
Forbes street and Craft avenue. There are
hundreds of poor children who n?ed atten
tion that their parents cannot afford
to get for them. The lady managers
are aware of this fact, and are
anxious that the parents shall know that
here is a hospital in which the best -of at
tention and medical treatment can be ob
tained free of charge. At present there are
only 15 patients in the hospital, and the
highest number that has ever been in the
wards was 17. There are four wards, each
containing a dozen beds, in ue now, and as
there are 1C rooms in tLe building, accom
modations can be made for over 100 patients,
if necessary. There are four acres of ground
belonging to the hospital, and if the de
mands upon the hospital outgrew the pres
ent accommodations, the building would be
enlarged. Miss Jane Holmes left money to
found this hospital many years ago, but it
was not until 1890, in June, that the present
beautiful property was bought and turned
to its excellent use.
No Religions or Color Lines Drawn.
Children from 2 to 12 years of age are
eligible for the benefits of the hospital. Xo
monev is taken for them, the institution
being charitable in every sense. It is non
sectarian, and colored children are admitted
as freely as white. Surgical cases are given
particular attention, there being a staff of
surgeons comprising some of the best known
names in the city. Many poor families can
not aflord surgical treatment for their chil
dren, so that this department is of in-
estimable value. In addition to the hospital
there is a free dispensary in the grounds,
where medicine is given" every "Wednesday
and Saturdav at 3:30 o'clock.
The hopitable has just been painted and
papered in a nc and tasteful way, and the
hardwood floors are polished to such a pitch
that the handsome rugs which lie here and
there are almost a necessity. The general
eflect is of perfect cleanliness and domes
ticity. The prettv iron bedsteads ot blue
and gold, with their inciting white bed
clothes and soft pillows, are such as thepoor
little ones occupying them would hardly
find in their own squalid homes. The house,
inside and out, is like any East End resi
dence. One room on the first floor is a sort of a
living room. There aie some beds, but a
good deal of the space is given to little
rocking chairs, playthings picture books
and other treasures ot childhood. On the
yalls are pictures calculated to please the
infantile mind. There are cats on seesaws,
cniiuren enjoying all sorts ot games sum
mer dajs in the woods, etc Every subject
Eeea-s tn h.ive been chosen with tlie idea of
promoting the cheerfulness of the patients.
Rehearsing Mcsin for Easter snnday.
Miss Killikellv goes to the hospital every
Saturday to iz, iruct ihe little ones in music
Thev are studying an Easter carol, which
they are to t,ing at the Church of the Ascen
sion on Easter Sunday. They are progress
n very well,and seem to enjoy the exercise.
The matron, Mrs. MarvB. Miller, says that
the singing is good for them, brighteniug
them tin. To add to the general attractive
ness oi the place, there are three pro
iessional nures, in the reeulation costume
of blue and white seersucker and dainty
white Swiss caps. The board of managers is
a follows: Hon M. AY. Acheson, Mrs. E. M.
Perguon, Mrs. S. S. Marvin, Mr. Gee W.
Guthrie, Mr. David G. Stewart, Dr. F. Le
Movne, Mrs. V. D. Wood, Mrs. "ft. J.
Holland, Mi-sMary Elizabeth Dawson; Mr.
James H. Reed, Mr. E. Xclson Clark. The
President is Hon. M. "ft. Acheson; Secre
tary Dr. W. E. Halock; Treasurer, Mr. E.
M. Ferguson.
A number of very important improve
ments hae just been completed at the
Protestant Orphans' Asjlum, liidge ave
nue. Allegheny. Two new pailions have
been built in the plaj ground, so that the
children will not be obliged to go into the
house in wet weather or to remain in the
sun in the heated term. The two yards
Laie been paved, while on two side3 ot it is
n spacious lawn. Tour rooms have been
added to the building proper, and the house
lias been calcimined from top to bottom,
. the ceiling being white and the walls in
various tints of terracotta, light blue, light
green, etc
A rieasant nmmer Retreat.
The wainut bedsteads that have been used
hitherto are replaced bv very pretty light
jiuu ucuieai;s paimeu oiue ana n-mte with
brais knobs at each corner, which gies the
dormitories an airy appearance. The man
agement have decided not to send the chil
dren out of town next summer, because the
home in Allegheny is as pleasant a summer
habitation as could be found in the
country, and is lar more comfortable than
anv temporary home would be There are 168
children in the allium at present, the
v.nal number bfing L'OO and ner. The
children are nearlj all plump, and all ap
pear to be happv "While the discipline or
the a-vluni is good, the children have anv
thingbuta coned demeanor. They talk
irecly to visitors and are really like one
Jamilv. The children march in soldierly
to and from their meals, to the music of a
mouth organ, pla ed in a creditable man
ner by a gentleman aged about 10 years.
The management is very proud of its new
bathing appliances, consisting of the latest
designs ot bath tubs, tile feet baths and sta
tionary Tashbowl, with hot and cold water.
These conveniences are such as are to be
found in well-appointed private houses in
Pittsburg.
A reception is to be given at the asylum
on Mav 22, when the children will give a
musical and literary entertainment, and the
house will be thrown open for the inspec
tion of visitors.
