The Good Samaritan .- While travelling in Norway, in 1873, Mr. M. S. Beach observed the practical working of an association for supplying food, ready cooked, to the poor, at the lowest possible price, and conceived the idea of establish- ing a similar enterprise here. After his return, the matter was considered by Mr. Beach and several other benevolent citi- zens, among whom were: A. S. Barnes, F. A. Schroeder, D. D. Wickes, Alexander Ager, Alanson Trask, John S. Ward, Tas- ker H. Marvin, S. V. White, A. P. Strout, James E. Kelsey, Robert Foster and S. N. Stebbins. The result was the organi- zation on the 25th of January, 1877, of an association under the above name. The object, as set forth in the original articles of Association, was to furnish food and lodging to the needy at the lowest possible price.

The house was first opened at 35 Willoughby street, and in the following May was removed to 45, in the same street. In 1880 the present building was erected, by the subscribers to the Samaritan, on the corner of Willoughby and Jay streets.

The Association is now established on a sound financial basis, and during the year 1881, the Nassau Branch was es- tablished on the corner of Nassau and Washington streets.

This institution supplies a great desideratum. The poor are here furnished with food and shelter, at prices barely re- munerative, without feeling that they are the recipients of charity. It is a significant fact that the example of the found- ers of this establishment is being followed elsewhere. A. S. Barnes is President of the Association. The other OFFICERS for 1883-'84 are: S. N. Stebbins, Vice-Pres .; F. D. Blake, Sec'y ; Moses S. Beach, Treas.

The Greenpoint Home for the Aged was incorporated Nov. 20, 1882, with the following MANAGERS: Mrs. S. E. Dougherty, Mrs. E. A. Clarke, Mrs. A. F. Cornell, Mrs. H. V. Church, Mrs. M. E. Shaffer, Mrs. C. Broad, Mrs. M. R. Barnhart, Mrs. L. R. Broad, Mrs. E. H. Corwith, Mrs. J. E. Van Woert, Mrs. J. G. Manson, Mrs. S. Clarke, Miss A. Anderson, Mrs. S. C. Finkel, Mrs. E. M. Taylor, Mrs. S. A. Calkin, Mrs. E, F.

Briggs, Mrs. M. A. Bradley, Mrs. L. E. Jenkins and Mrs. A. S. Nutting. Of these, Mrs. E. Finkel was President ; Mrs. S. E. Dougherty and Mrs. J. H. Broad, Vice-Presidents ; Mrs. G. E. Bradley, Mrs. J. S. Ogilvie, Secretaries; Mrs. E. D. Church, Treasurer ; and this board of officers has since been re-elected. The organization originally numbered 22, which has since been increased to 40. May 1st, 1882, the house at 69 Dupont street was rented, and formally opened June 15th; it now contains 9 inmates with accommodations for as many more.

German Ladies' Association .- The German element of our population is mostly self-supporting, but occasionally a case deserving of charity is found. In 1874, an association was formed among the German ladies of the Western District, for the purpose of aiding poor Germans. Its President was Mrs. F. A. Dreyer, and Vice-President Mrs. H. Strybing. The as- sociation added to its numbers until it now has 150 members. In 1877, it was incorporated. It is entirely a voluntary work, and depends upon contributions for support. It aims to help the needy only until they can help themselves. Its members visit personally the familiee in their respective districte, and give help as needed. Over 5,000 cases have been reached since the association began ite work. The present OFFICERS are: Mrs. H. Strybing, Pres .; Mrs. B. Westermann, Vice-Pres .; Mrs. W. Polmayder, Rec. Sec .; Mrs. P. Lichtenstein, Sec.

The Helping Hand .- In the winter of 1871, several ladies, mostly of the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church, formed a relief association to aid temporarily the worthy poor.

An investigating committee was appointed, and, after several efforts, an organization perfected July 24, 1871. Its objects were: 1st. To establish a charity foundation. 2d. To improve the condition of the poor. 3d. To instruct women in useful employment. 4th. To give temporary relief in cases of need. 5th. To establish evening and industrial schools. 6th. To distribute contributions. The first TRUSTEES were: Stephen Ballard, Colin Campbell, J. T. Duryea, Richard B. Duane, James W. Elwell, H. H. Lamport, Curtis L. North, E. B. Rollins, J. S. Stearns, Edmund Titus, Wm. H. Smith, Henry G. Richardson, James Willson. The first BOARD OF OFFICERS were: Jas. W. Elwell, Pres .; H. B. Spelman, John French, Mrs. H. M. Scudder, Mrs. H. Dickinson, Mrs. H. Dollner, Vice-Pres .; Andrew Smith, Rec. Sec .; Miss Meacham, Cor. Sec .; H. H. Lamport, Treas. In 1874, the Helping Hand added a Dispensary to its other aids, with Dr. Scudder as the first physician in charge. Since his decease, Dr. Archibald Campbell has held the position. The OFFICERS for 1883-'84 are: Jas. W. Elwell, Pres .; A. S. Barnes, Rev. T. B. McLeod, Hon. J. F. Pierce, Vice-Pres .; J. F. Anderson, Jr., Rec. Sec .; Miss M. A. Berry, Cor. Sec .; Mrs. A. P. Strout, Treas. The TRUSTEES are: J. W. Elwell, A. S. Barnes, J. F. Anderson, Jr., J. F. Pierce, D. D. Ives, F. G. Smith, A. P. Strout, W. T. Gregg, J. Mix, C. D. Wood, Rev. E. J. Haynes.

The OFFICERS of the Board of Managers for 1883-'84 are: Mrs. J. F. Pierce, Pres .; Mrs. W. T. Hemmenway, Vice-Pres. Mrs. W. F. Swalm, Mrs. I. N. Thatcher, Secretaries; Mrs. A Strout, Treas.

The Home for Friendless Women and Children of Brooklyn. In 1868, Mrs. Catharine Duryea Elwell became interested in three poor women in the Raymond Street Jail, who had been punished for crimes growing out of intem- perate habits ; and, on their discharge, for the sake of pre- serving them from a relapse into intemperance and from idle habits, she, with . three of her friends, determined to main- tain them until occupation and homes could be found for them. Finally, rooms were taken on Canton street, near the Jail, Mr. James Elwell paying the rent for six months, and the four friends contributing the necessary furniture. This

experiment proved so encouraging that, before long, eight women and two children were added to the little family on Canton street. In May, 1869, the infant Society rented a small frame house on Bergen street, to "establish a refuge for all who desired to reform, and offer them opportunities to lead a better life." 156 women and 69 little children were sheltered in 1869. A few months later, the Society was in- formally organized: Mrs. J. P. Elwell, Pres .; Miss Meacham, Sec. The first annual meeting was held April 4, 1870, in Dr. Cuyler's church. That same month, a larger house on Bergen street was taken and rapidly filled. In that year, 400 women and children were admitted, and more than 48,000 meals furnished, but the pecuniary condition of the Society was discouraging. It was sustained solely by the bounty of friends. The need of more system became apparent. Accord- ingly the Society was incorporated April 28, 1870, by the following corporators : Elvira C. Jackson, Catharine Duryea Elwell, Carrie E. Brett, Sarah M. Trask, Martha B. Cutting, Carrie McDonald, Lizzie G. Meacham, Elizabeth L. Rosman, Maria W. Heaton, Stella Mitchell, Sarah S. Cooper, Adriana Genung, Ann E. Martin, Sarah B. Baylis, Urania B. Hum- phrey, Laura C. Douglass, Elizabeth W. Wyckoff, Letitia W. Allis, Mary E. Hartt, Allitta Duryea, Ellen Woolsey, Abigail Bulkeley, Mary S. Delamater, Janet Tiney, Ella C. Knowl- ton, Ann Brown, Sara A. Pryor, A. J. Eaton, Harriet L. Packer, Mary White, Frances M. Allen, Margaret S. Barnes, Harriet Sheldon, Mary L. Stone, and Caroline O. Bogart. $10,000 was appropriated by the State, $19,000 more col- lected, and the present home on Concord street was pur-

chased for $30,000, and was furnished and occupied May, 1871. Since that time it has been filled to its utmost capacity, with an annual average of about 600 inmates. More than 10,000 different women and children have been sheltered by the home since its organization.

The OFFICERS for 1883-'84 are as follows: Mrs. W. S. Packer, Pres .; Mrs. D. S. Landon, First Vice-Pres .; Mrs. S. V. White, Second Vice-Pres. ; Mrs. D. G. Eaton, Treas .; Mrs. J. S. T. Stranahan, Mrs. John D. Rushmore.

The Brooklyn Howard Colored Orphan Asylum .- This charity grew out of the need that was felt, by the freed women who came North, of homes for their children. By the advice of Gens. O. O. Howard and C. H. Howard, an as- sociation was formed in 1866, in New York, which was after- wards removed to Brooklyn, and incorporated, September 7, 1868, under the above name. The buildings are situated on Dean street, near Troy avenue, where the Society owns sev- eral lots. There are accommodations for about 100 children. A day-school and a Sunday-school are maintained. The OFFICERS for 1883-'84 are: Mrs. L. A. Cooper, First Directress ; Mrs. A. Gladiator, Second Directress ; Mrs. M. Augusta Johnson, Treas .; Miss F. Richards, Miss G. Cooper, Secre- taries; Rev. W. F. Johnson, Supt. and Gen. Agent.

The Home Association for Working Women and Girls was first organized, in 1879, as a voluntary society, mainly through the efforts of Miss Mary Lewis, Mrs. John McLeod, Mrs. Helen B. Partridge, Mrs. C. Benson, Mrs. Geo. Stannard, and Miss Carrie Pratt. The object of the association is the furnishing of a homelike boarding-place for working women and girls at a price proportioned to their wages. The associa- tion was incorporated in 1879, and in its work it has been very successful. Its location has been several times re- moved to enlarge its accommodations. It is now (1884) located at No. 175 Hall street. Mrs. Helen D. Parsons was President from the incorporation of the association until 1882, when Mrs. H. D. Partridge was elected; the other OFFI- CERS for 1883-'84 are: Mrs. Geo. Stannard, Vice-Pres .; Mrs. Jas. H. Taft, Jr., and Miss Etta Adams, Secretaries; Miss Mary E. Lewis, Treas .; Miss C. A. Pratt, Auditor.

Sheltering Arms Nursery .- In April, 1870, Mrs. Rev. J. A. Paddock conceived the idea of affording to the poor motbers of St. Peter's (P. E.) congregation, facilities for pursuing their daily labor by providing a place where their infants could be cared for during the day. The experiment was made, and it gave promise of success. In October of the same year, ladies from the different parishes met and or- ganized, at first, a day nursery. A house in Pacific street, was rented, and the nursery established there. During the next year the society was incorporated under the above title, and permanent inmates were received. In the same year, larger quarters were procured in Warren street. Thence the nursery was removed, successively, to Atlantic avenue, Lex- ington avenue; and, in 1877, to its present quarters, 157 Dean street, near Hoyt. A building was purchased here, at a cost of $13,000. In 1880, this was burned out, but at once rebuilt. In 1878, it became a diocesan charity. It has passed through many vicissitudes and discouragements, but its permanence and usefulness have become well assured. The object of this charity is, not to encourage idleness, but to aid those who are willing to labor for their support. The first OFFICERS were : Mrs. Rev. Dr. John A. Paddock, Pres., 1870-'81; Mrs. D. L. Dodge, Vice-Pres .; Mrs. C. L. Caswell, Sec'y; Mrs. A. Hallett, Treas. Present OFFICERS : Mrs. John A. Nichols, Pres. Lady Managers: Mrs. William B. Kendall, Vice-Pres .; Mrs. Henry C. Hardy, Sec'y; Mrs. John Norton, Treas. About fifty infants and small children are now in the institution, which has a permanent fund of $50,000 for its support.

HEBREW ORPHAN ASYLUM.

The Hebrew Orphan Society of Brooklyn originated from a gathering of charitable Hebrews to provide a home for or- phans from Brooklyn. An organization was perfected and the society incorporated in August, 1878. A house was rented on the corner of Stuyvesant avenue and McDonough street. The asylum was opened for the reception of orphans January 7, 1879, and sixteen children received. Before the expiration of two years the need of larger accommodations was felt, and at a meeting April 17, 1881, it was resolved to purchase grounds on McDonough street, near Stuyvesant av- enue, 120 by 200 feet, for the sum of $12,500. The trustees resolved to erect a new building, 70 by 100 feet, of which the corner-stone was laid June 26, 1883. It is of brick, with stone trimmings, and three stories in height. The managers have deemed it a wise policy to educate the children in the neigh- boring public school. The asylum owes much to the efforts of Ernst Nathan, who has been its President from the first. The other OFFICERS for 1883-'4 are: S. Goodstein, Vice- President; G. Merzbach, Secretary, and M. Bruckheimer, Treasurer.

The Hebrew Benevolent Society of Brooklyn, E. D., was organized June 24, 1868, with 36 members, and was designed to assist the poor and needy through a well-regulated system of relief. All applications are investigated by a committee, and the worthy are assisted with food, clothing and fuel. Its first OFFICERS were: M. Kessel, Pres .; Moses May, Vice-Pres .; Isaac Strauss, Sec .; Philip Strauss, Cash .; S. Kaufman, A. Nova, M. Benjamin, N. Bernstein, S. Moog, A. H. Sonn, Directors. The society has meetings semi-annually; the committee on relief and charity meets every month. The society derives its income from the dues of members and voluntary contributions from the charitable. The OFFICERS for 1884 are as follows: M. Kessel, Pres .; M. May, Vice-

Pres .; H. Stettheimer, Sec .; Philip Strauss, Cash .; N. Bern- stein, I. Igelheimer, D. Urlach, D. Wollmar, I. Weinberg, Directors.

The Brooklyn Industrial School Association and Home for Destitute Children (No. 217 Sterling place, between Flat- bush and Vanderbilt avenues), was organized in 1854, and incorporated in 1857. Its object is to form and support in- dustrial schools, and to establish and maintain a home for destitute children in the city of Brooklyn. The small house in Concord street, in which the children were first gathered by the Association, afforded too limited accommodation, and fourteen lots of ground were purchased on what is now Ster- ling place, although at time of purchase there were no paved streets and no buildings in that immediate vicinity.

In 1861 the Home for Destitute Children was erected at a cost of about $15,000. In 1874 a wing was added to this building to be used for hospital purposes. In 1880 the work had so far outgrown the utmost capacity of this Home, for the accommodation of applicants, as to render it necessary to remodel the entire building. This was done, and a new wing was added; the whole being ready for occupation in 1883.

In accordance with the plans of the architect, it is pro- posed at some future time to erect a new westerly wing in place of the old one, which was allowed to remain for want of funds. When this change shall have been made the com- pleted building will appear as one of the finest in the city of Brooklyn. As it stands on an eminence commanding a view of Prospect Park, and also of the Bay of New York, it is a prominent object. The situation is both airy and healthful, and peculiarly suitable as a home for the little ones who need the pure, fresh air which this site furnishes.

Six Industrial Schools have been established and supported by this association. They are, at present date, in the locali-

ties here given, and their order of establishment is as follows: No. 1, Concord street, opposite junction of Prince street; No. 2, Fourth street, near Smith street; No. 3, in the Home, Ster- ling place, between Flatbush and Vanderbilt avenues; No. 4, No. 391 Van Brunt street; No. 5, Throop avenue, between Myrtle and Flushing avenues; No. 6, Franklin avenue, near Myrtle avenue.

In these schools the children receive an elementary course of instruction and good moral and religious training. A suit of new clothing is provided for every child, and dinner is given daily in their respective schools. This pro- vision is made so as to enable the children to attend, for none are admitted who have sufficient clothing and food prepared by their parents; and no child who can attend the public school is allowed to remain here. The children are taught to sew by ladies who visit the schools for that purpose; every school is under the supervision of a committee from the board of managers. The children in the Home building are those whose parents cannot, for various reasons, provide a shelter for them. In some cases their relations pay a nom- inal board toward their support. Some of the children are surrendered to the association, and others are taken entirely on charity. The older children assist in the light work of the house, and thus become familiar with the ordinary routine of household labor. The girls are taught to sew; and "kitchen garden " instruction has been introduced, so as to prepare them to take places for domestic service.

The work is supported by the voluntary contributions of benevolent persons. Managers are appointed from the vari- ous churches, and contributions are taken up by the man- agers in their respective churches. Nearly every Protestant church in Brooklyn is represented by one or more managers in the Home. The board at present consists of about one hundred and fifty ladies. An annual fair adds to the rev- enues of the association. The Presidents have been, in suc- cession: Mrs. Fisher Howe, Mrs. Jesse Smith and Mrs. J. Merwin; the latter is still the President of the Board.

Orphans and half-orphans are not received in the Home for Destitute Children, but are referred to the Orphan Asy- lum, this being an arrangement made to distinguish the work of the two institutions. The Industrial School work, however, is the distinctive feature of this charity, and its benevolence is distributed throughout the whole city by the schools, which are, as to locality, widely separated from each other. This has always been a favorite charity in the city, and its growth bas been very rapid.

The Industrial School and Home of Brook- lyn, E. D .*- Previous to 1854, a voluntary asso- ciation for the care of poor children existed among the local churches in Williamsburgh. In February, 1854, Mrs. Harriet Brown, im- pressed by the degraded condition of poor chil- dren, and anxious for their reformation, per- sonally solicited the sum of $600, and called a meeting of friends in the parlors of the New England Congregational Church, Feb. 20th.

The organization of the society was per- fected, with Mrs. Brown as chairman. It was determined to have a school in the old North American Hotel, on North Second street, be- tween Fourth and Fifth streets. The session commenced March 7th, 1855, with eleven pupils, Mrs. Fister being the teacher. Mrs. Van Houghton was the first matron.

In 1860, the association was incorporated for the following purposes : "To cause the chil- dren of the school to receive elementary English instruction; to teach habits of neatness and order; to instruct in domestic duties; to provide food and clothing, and procure places of employment for the children when they arrive at a suitable age."

The nine TRUSTEES for the first year were: James Hall, Rob- ert Dunken, George Ricard, John Broach, Isaac M. Haly, Richard B. Hunt, John A. Brady, M. D., Joseph H. Van De Water, and George W. Edwards. Some years later, the Home was removed to the old public school building, corner of Fifth and South Third streets.

In 1866, an appeal was made to the Legislature for aid. The first directress, Mrs. Lyons, fought a brave battle in the interest of the school. She was a leading spirit; not only in this institution, but in all works of charity and public spirit, her sympathies were quickest and her hand strongest. She asked others for nothing which she herself was not willing to give. She led where she desired others to follow. During the war for the Union, she gave to the stricken soldier the same systematic and vigorous aid as here to the child of poverty and want. She had taken this institution into her heart of hearts, and voluntarily went to Albany to secure the needed appropriation for this institution.

school $10,000, upon condition that an equal sum be raised by private subscription, which was duly fulfilled. Mr. George Ricard presented four lots in North Second street, on which to erect a new building; but, in 1869, the plan was changed; the Pease estate, in South Third street, was pur- chased, and the large substantial building occupied. In 1877-'78, a wing, costing $32,000, was added to the Home, the funds for which were raised principally through the efforts of the lady managers.

The association now numbers about 450 life members. The first BOARD OF OFFICERS was: Richard B. Hunt, Pres .; Geo. W. Edwards, Sec .; John Broach, Treas. The succeeding presidents have been : Nicholas Wyckoff and Benjamin Wil- son. The first directresses have been: Mrs. Robert Duncan, Mrs. E. Lyon, and Mrs. B. H. Howell.

The OFFICERS for 18:3-'84 are: Board of Trustees-Ben- jamin W. Wilson, Pres .; Lewis P. Nostrand, Vice-Pres .; George H. Fisher, Sec .; John Broach, Treas .; Benjamin H. Howell, Cornelius L. Johnson, George B. Cole, John T. Wood- ruff, Edward S. Seeley. Board of Managers-Mrs. B. H. Howell, First Directress; Miss S. F. Snow, Second Direct- ress; Miss J. A. S. Schapps, Rec. Sec .; Mrs. L. L. Kortright, Cor. Sec .; Mrs. J. D. Wade, Treas.

The Industrial Restaurant and Training School was or- ganized in 1878, mainly through the efforts of Mrs. A. Ten- ney. The aim of its managers was to provide a remedy for street begging, by furnishing work to be done on the prem- ises, to men, women and children, for meals, cooked food to carry home, groceries, clothing and coal.

The work furnished for men has been: sawing, splitting and delivering wood. The work for women and children has been: house cleaning, laundry work, sewing and rug- ınaking.

A fair amount of labor only has been required, and people have been urged and aided to find work outside. An appli- cant to the institution is allowed to work three hours per day, for which he receives payment at the rate of ten cents per hour in meals, or food to carry home.

A weekly visitor is sent to poor families to relieve their wants, provide them with work, and see that the children attend some school.

The restaurant cares for children during the day while the mother goes out to work; loans money on furniture; pur- chases coal at reduced rates for the poor; lodges men at 10 cents per night; a free evening reading-room, free baths, and washing, in exchange for work. It also teaches the proper way to perform work.

In 1882, the Industrial Restaurant moved to its present site, No. 112 Lexington avenue. It is supported entirely by charity; any person paying 5 cents per week becomes a mem- ber of the association, and is entitled to send all applicants for aid to the restaurant.

The OFFICERS for 1883-'84 are: Mrs. A. Tenney, Pres .; Mrs. H. W. St. John, Vice-Pres .; Mrs. George L. Carrington, Sec .; Mrs. M. B. Ross, Treas.

The Orphan Home of the Church of the Holy Trinity was established in 1861, and soon afterwards incorporated, for the purpose of maintaining and educating orphans, from the congregation of the Roman Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity. There are about 30 inmates at the present time. The first OFFICERS were: Very Rev. M. May, J. Bert- ges, J. Zimmer, and J. Raber.

The Board is the same for 1883-'84, with the addition of F. J. Berlenbeauer and L. Groeser.

St. Phebe's Mission, at No. 10 Lafayette street, was or- ganized in the spring of 1882, and adopted a constitution May 30th. Its object is to minister to the necessities of the

sick and the destitute; especially to the inmates of the County buildings at Flatbush, of the Penitentiary, the City Jail, and the Naval and City Hospitals. To this end, women workers and trained nurses are engaged, who are known as St. Pbebe Associates. During the past year, over 1,000 visits were made to these various institutions by the Sisters. The Mis- sion is supported entirely by charity. The first BOARD OF MANAGERS was as follows : Miss Harriette Low, Mrs. A. A. Seaman, Miss C. King, Mrs. Hugh Allen, Mrs. Augustus Ivins, Miss Peck, Mrs. Samuel Cox, Mrs. F. B. Carter, Mrs. Alexander Hutchins, Mrs. Washburne. The OFFICERS have been and are as follows: Miss Harriette Low, Pres .; Mrs. Augustus Ivins, Sec .; Miss Cornelia King, Treas. The present BOARD OF MANAGERS is as follows : Miss Harriette Low, Miss King, Mrs. Seaman, Mrs. Ivins, Mrs. A. Hutchins, Mrs. S. Cox, Mrs. Peck, Mrs. Stoddard, Mrs. Van Nostrand Mrs. Jenkins, Mrs. Snively, Mrs. Conklin and Mrs. Wood- ard.
