ORPHAN ASYLUM (ROMAN CATHOLIC) .- Organized March 23, 1851. In July of the same year the erection of a wooden edifice was commenced, and completed the following September. It was occupied in part for a school, and a portion was temporarily used as a church, under the pastoral charge of the Rev. John Maginnis.
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 edi- fice 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 there has been re- cently erected a large and commodious wooden edi- fice with all the modern conveniences, to which the children have been removed from the Market Street Building, which property was sold in June, 1872. The present building is beautifully located on a hill, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country. It covers an area of two hundred and four by two hundred and eighty-two feet, including an open center court, measuring eighty by one hundred and forty-four feet. It will accommodate about eight hundred children.
It is a source of gratification to behold the con- soling appearance presented by the several hundred little ones now provided for in the institution, which speaks audibly of the benign influence of the guar- dian sisters, and of the true liberality of our commu- nity in their noble efforts to lend a helping hand to the fatherless.

SAN FRANCISCO FEMALE HOSPITAL .- This hospital was opened for the reception of patients on the first day of April, 1868. The object of the insti- tution is the care of poor, sick women. There is no rule as to the nativity, religion, or social condition. It is a charity in the broadest 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 six years it has been open, there have been over five hundred 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 hospi- tal, the probabilities are that the greater number would have shared the fate of so many thousands of innocents murdered in their mother's womb. There have been besides a large number of patients ad- mitted for general disease. During the existence of the hospital there have been but twenty-eight deaths, mostly from that scourge of our race-consumption. There have also been a very large number of outside patients treated, the physician and surgeon being in attendance every morning from ten to eleven o'clock to treat any poor persons who may come. It was supported by voluntary contributions until 1870, when the State appropriated $5,000 a year for its support. The surgical department is under the care of Dr. C. T. Deane. The hospital is located on the corner of Prospect Place and Clay Street.
Officers-Mrs. John S. Bugbee, President; Mrs. Dr. George Bucknell, Vice-President; Mrs. Theo. Smith, Secretary; Mrs. David Conkling, Treasurer.

for the care, protection, and proper treatment of re- spectable married and unprotected single women, with their offspring, together with all other children that may be left in infancy by outside parties. Said children will be considered foundlings.
The Trustees design to make this institution in the highest degree respectable and efficient, and avail- able to women throughout every county in the Stato, regardless of religion, sectarianism, or nationality, whether in poverty or affluence. Those who have the ability to pay, will be required to do so in proportion to their means, and this sum will be placed in the treasury to aid those less favored by fortune. It is expected that the institution will be supported by re- ceipts from patients, donations, and contributions from different sources, appropriations by the City and State governments, and in time, by bequests, legacies, etc. It is a special hospital, and for the specialties for which it was organized, affords facili- ties not to be found elsewhere on this coast. No two patients occupy the same room at the same time. No cases of disease are admitted for treatment. It is therefore expected that it will be kept free from ery- sipelas and other contagious diseases that become the bane of lying-in wards connected with general hospitals. It is thoroughly ventilated, and will afford all the comfort that is to be found in the best con- ducted homes, and free from all intrusion. Compe- tent nurses are in attendance day and night.
For the two years ending December 31, 1873, the receipts amounted to $10,531.13, and the expenses $11,181.21 ; one hundred and forty-one children were born in the institution, and ninety-four others left at the door, making in all two hundred and thirty-five children. The beneficiaries were from all parts of the State, more than one half being from the interior. Trustees .- Hon. H. H. Haight, James Linforth, Hon. Samuel Cowles, H. K. W. Clarke, J. W. Stow, R. G.
