THE ANNUAL ELECTION OP OFFICERS The seventeenth annual meeting of the Pittsburg Association lor the Improvement of the Poor was held in the parlor of the Dispensary buildincr yesterday. Mrs. "V. A. Herron presided and Mrs. S. E. Lippin cott was Secretary. The meeting was well attended. Mrs. S. E. Lippincott presented her report for the year, which was ex tremely satisfactory. The work of the society is increasing year bv year, and Uie number of families assisted exceeded that of last year by a great number. The con tributions exceeded those of last year, but there was a notable diminution in the Thanksgiving Day offering!. The people did not respond to the call for contributions as they have in former years. liie report on the Oakmont Home and Temporary Home showed remarkable progress. The success of these institutions surprised all the ladies. No person had any idea of the magnitude of the work which had been accomplished. The four roomed cottage which lias been attracting a great deal of attention among the mana gers was reported finishea at a cost of f 950. It will be used as a sanitarium wtiere any of the children who are taken sick will be cared for. From 50 to 80 children every two weeks during the summer enjoyed the advantages that the home afforded. The great number of mothers who were given outin gs during the summer was another surprise. Decreasing the Society's Debt The Treasurer, W. E. Thompson, was not present, but his report was read by Mrs. Lippincott. The debt of the society has been decreased J584. The total indebted ness now is $990. The Oakmont and Tem porary Home lunds have quite a little bal ance left, but the payment ot the J950 for the new cottage will reduce the surplus considerable.
