The Order of Chosen Friends is a secret benevolent society. Not secret for the protection of wrong doing, as is believed by many, but seeret only in the sense of being private, having signs and passwords, that its membership may be better protected in their work of giving aid to the distressed and protection to the weak. To unite in bonds of fraternity, aid and pro- tection all acceptable white persons of good charac- ter, steady habits, sound bodily health and reputable calling. To improve the condition of its member- ship, morally, socially and materially, by establish- ing a fund from which a weekly benefit may be paid to sick and distressed members, and upon satisfactory evidence of the death of a member paying from an endowment death fund of from one to three thousand dollars.


This society is not intended as & rival of, but a worker with, other benevolent orders in the great work of relieving and elevating the condition of man- kind.

It originally occupied the building on the corner of Second and Folsom streets, owned by Gen. H. W. Halleck, whence they removed the children in March, 1854, to the present building, corner of Laguna and


Haight streets, just then completed, at a cost of $30.000. This house, built of stone and brick, ex- pressly for the purpose, is highly creditable to the institution, as one of the noblest menuments of San Francisco benevolence. During the years 1862-3, a large and convenient addition was made to the pres- ent building, at an expense of $30,000, which, to- gether with the main building, will accommodate two hundred and fifty children. As a complement to the Sansome Hook and Ladder Co., who, upon dis- banding, donated to the asylum the building and lot owned by them, the new addition is called the " San- some Wing."


During the year 1879 the, upper story of the build- ing was fitted up, and for the first time in its history the entire capacity of the asylum has been made available. The present number of children in the asylum is two hundred and twenty-four.

On August 18, 1852, the asylum was taken in charge by the Sisters of Charity. In 1854 a capacious brick building was erected on Market street, near Third, at a cost of $45,000. In 1864 an additional brick edifice was erected for a school, which was attended by several hundred day scholars.


In 1862 a farm of fifty-three acres, near Bay View, South San Francisco, was purchased, where there has been established a branch institution for very young children, called the St. Joseph's Infant Asy- lum. On this same tract of land a large and com- modious wooden edifice, with all the modern con- veniences, was erected in 1872. The present building is beautifully located on & hill, commanding an ex- tensive view of the surrounding country. It covers an area of two hundred and four by two hundred and eighty-two feet, including an open centre court, measuring eighty by one hundred and forty-four feet. It will accommodate about eight hundred children.

SAN FRANCISCO FEMALE HOSPITAL. - Loca- tion, 806 Stockton street. This hospital was opened for the reception of patients on the first day of April, 1868. The object of the institution is the care of poor, sick women. There is no rule as to the nativity, reli- gion, or social condition. It is a charity in the broad- est sense of the term. Any woman who is poor and sick is entitled to share its benefits. It is a general hospital for all diseases, and for lying-in. During the twelve years it has been open there have been near- ly one thousand births. Of the whole number of births over fifty per cent. have been illegitimate, showing conclusively the need of such an institution, as, if it were not for this hospital, the probabilities are that the greater number would have shared the fate of so many thousands of innocents murdered in their moth- ers' womb. There have been besides a large number of patients admitted for general disease. There have also been a very large number of outside patients treated, the physician and surgeon being in attend- ance every morning from ten to eleven o'clock to trest any poor persons who may come. It was sup- ported by voluntary contributions until 1870, when the State appropriated $5,000 a year for its support. In 1879 the appropriation was reduced to $3,000. Dur- ing the past year this appropriation has been with- drawn entirely, consequently fewer patients will be admitted free.


During the past year there has been organized, in connection with the Hospital, a Foundling Asylum, to be used exclusively for children born in the Hos- pital, where they will be kept, and not as heretofore sent away to other hospitals. The Hospital is under the care of Dr. C. B. Hutchins.


Officers .- Mrs. A. Y. Trask, President ; Mrs. M. Hecht, Vice-President; Mrs. G. Low Smith, Secre- tary ; Mrs. E. B. Pond, Treasurer; Mrs. M. E. Dayton, Matron.


SAN FRANCISCO LYING-IN HOSPITAL AND FOUNDLING ASYLUM .- Incorporated April, 1868, for the care, protection, and proper treatment of un- protected single women, with their offspring, together with all other children that may be abandoned in infancy by outside parties, said children being con- sidered foundlings.


The Trustees design to make this institution re- spectable in the highest degree. Efficient and avail- able to patients from every county in the State, regardless of religious belief sectarianism or national- ity. No one is required to pay more than her average cost to the hospital. It is expected that the institution will be supported by receipts from patients, donations and contributions from different sources, appropria- tions by the City and State Governments, and by bequests, legacies, etc. This is a special lying-in hospital, and for the specialties for which it was organized affords facilities not to be found elsewhere on this coast. No cases of disease are admitted for treatment. It is therefore expected to be kept free from erysipelas and other contagious diseases that are the bane of lying-in wards connected with gen- eral hospitals. Its locality, facing Jefferson Square, is not surpassed for salubrity by any other in the city. The building is thoroughly ventilated, and affords all the comforts of a private home free from intrusion. Competent nurses are in attendance day and night. Applicants must furnish satisfactory proof of having heretofore sustained a good moral character.


For consultation the attending physician will be found at the Hospital, 913 Golden Gate Avenue, from twelve o'clock M. until one o'clock P.
