The Christian Union for Chinese Work .- This organiza- tion has for its object the education, elevation and protection of the Chinese residents in our city. The rooms of the so- ciety are located at 991 and 993 Fulton street, and are open every week-day afternoon and evening, with religious ser- vices on Sunday evening. On Monday afternoon, there is a Union school session at the Moravian Church, Jay street, near Myrtle avenue. The President of the society is Mr. Andrew A. Smith, who has been very active in assisting the Chinese in their business affairs; seeking redress for them when robbed and abused by civilized Americans, and in many other ways endeavoring to impress them with the idea that Chris- tianity means something. The other OFFICERS of the so- ciety are : H. E. Pease, Vice-Pres .; Rev. E. S. Walle, Sec .; W. D. Gleason, Treas. The TRUSTEES are: Messrs. A. S. Barnes, S. L. Parsons, A. D. Matthews, Charles Tremaine, Miss Shirley, Mrs. Wyman, Miss Pleier, Mrs. Relph, Mrs. Dr. Sizer, Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. Culbertson, and Mrs. Harris.

The First Brooklyn Woman's Christian Temperance Union was organized early in 1874, and incorporated in 1880. It is connected with the New York State organization as well as the Woman's National Christian Temperance Union. Its OFFICERS are as follows: K. E. Cleveland, Pres .; Miss M. E. Winslow, Cor. Sec .; Mrs. Myra J. Denley, Rec. Sec .; Mrs. Mary L. Jacobs, Treas.

A hall seating 400, at the corner of Fulton and Jay streets, is the headquarters of the Union, with branches in different parts of the city. The Union provides pleasant and attractive reading rooms, where meetings are held every evening and on Sunday afternoons. Sunday evening temperance meet- ings are held in the theatres and places of amusement. The work of the Union includes the visitation of families, reliev- ing distress, circulating temperance literature, and gathering children into schools. Regular visits are paid to the Ray- mond street Jail and to the Kings County Penitentisry, and the families of prisoners are cared for when necessary. Work among children is carried on by means of two flourishing schools, numbering about 300 pupils. The Union has expended in its work, since March, 1874, $21,252. Mrs. Mary C. Johnson was its President for the first eight years.

The Christian Rescue Temperance Union originated in the weekly meetings of a few children to promote the cause of temperance, and assist poor families in the neighborhood. An organization was formed June 15, 1879, at 196 15th street, South Brooklyn, with six members. The membership in- creased so rapidly, and the society did so much good, that it was incorporated in August, 1882, with a view to erect a hall and reading-room. It now consists of about 80 adult mem- bers and 1,500 youths and children. Weekly meetings are

held for business and instruction. They are carefully trained in vocal and instrumental music, and give occasional con- certe to raise funds for current expenses and charity. Some fifteen families have been supported each winter, and large quantities of provisions distributed at Christmas. The so- ciety publishes a weekly paper-"Our Banner." A gospel temperance prayer meeting is held every Sunday by the mem- bars. The first BOARD OF OFFICERS comprise the following names: Mrs. J. Duer, Mrs. Updegrove, Mrs. Seabury, Mrs. Simpson, Mrs. Cleverley, Mrs. Stevens, Mr. C. G. Johnston, Mr. and Mrs. Duncome. The OFFICERS first chosen have been retained in office and are as follows: Adult Department-C. G. Johnston, Pres .; William Cleverley and G. P. Spooner, Secretaries ; William Whitehead, Treas. Young People's De- partment-Mrs. J. Duer, Pres .; Mrs. J. Johnston, Sec ; C. G. Johnston, Treas.

The Sailors' Coffee-House Company .-- This is an association which grew out of a desire to benefit sailors by establishing a cheap and good hotel, conducted on temperance principles, for the accommodation of sea-faring men when on shore. The following philanthropic citizens procured its incorpora- tion January 21st, 1880: George L. Pease, Ferdinand Van Sicklen, Edward H. Litchfield, Wm. G. Low, Thomas D. Williams, H. E. Pierrepont, Jr. A stock company was formed with a capital of $20,000. The buildings 241 and 243 York street, adjoining the Navy Yard, were rented, and an eating and lodging house opened. Prices were fixed as low as expenses would warrant, and still the work is partly car- ried on by voluntary aid. The OFFICERS for 1883-'84 are: William G. Low, Pres .; George L. Pease, Sec'y .; H. E. Pierre- pont, Jr., Treas.

The Woman's Work Exchange and Decorative Art So- ciety of Brooklyn (formerly known as The South Brooklyn Employment Society) originated in efforts made in 1872-'73, by & philanthropic gentleman connected with the Sunday-school of Christ Church, in Clinton street, near Harrison, to find work for his Bible class; particularly for a crippled girl who had no means of livelihood. At first a small circle were interested in his projects, but afterward many of the ladies connected with Christ Church promoted and sustained the endeavor. Later in the movement, other churches in South Brooklyn assisted it under this name with contributions, until there was an organization which had rooms at the corner of Clinton and Warren streets, and gave employment to seamstresses and also trained classes of girls in needle-work.

The first BOARD OF OFFICERS consisted of Mrs. Nehemiah Knight, Pres .; Miss R. Da Costa, Vice-Pres .; Miss. I. E. Buckmaster, Treas .; Miss M. I. Adams, Sec .; Mrs. A. Thomp- son, Directress.

In 1878-'79, the Woman's Work Exchange, for the sale of articles of use or beauty, which should be made by women who wished to dispose of them, was established and united with the S. B. E. Society; and the two societies, under the same Board of Management, took up their abode at 122 At- lantic street, where they still remain.

The first BOARD OF OFFICERS, after the union of the two so- cieties, was as follows: Mrs. Mary L. Clapp, Pres .; Miss Re- becca Da Costa, Vice-Pres .; Miss M. I. Adams, Treas .; Mrs. Gordon, L. Ford, Cor. Sec .; Miss M. H. Post, Rec. Sec.

In 1883, the South Brooklyn Employment Society passed out of existence, and the name of the association was changed to The Woman's Work Exchange and Decorative Art Society of Brooklyn, which represents its present aim and function. The Society has grown from a handful of members to a large and devoted fellowship; and paintings, decorated china, needle-work, embroidery, pickles, preserves and cake, are placed in their rooms, and sold for the advantage of the con-

signors. These articles cover a wide range of ingenuity, in- dustry and æsthetic taste, and the intentions of the Society seem to meet the public approval and patronage. There are also painting and drawing classes under the wing of the Decorative Art Society, which foster talent and encourage good work.

The Business Women's Union was organized by the Brooklyn Women's Club, and incorporated Nov. 7, 1871. Its object was to provide a home for self-supporting women of good character, at the lowest possible rates, and to establish a bureau of information. The first OFFICERS and MANAGERS were: Mrs. Annie C. Field, Pres .; Mrs. Charlotte A. Clarke, Vice-Pres .; Miss Kate Hillard and Miss Laura F. Beecher, Secretaries; Mrs. Mary H. Holley, Treas. Mrs. S. M. Parsons, Mrs. L. A. Potts, Miss A. Coleman, Miss S. M. Glover, Mrs. H. Brigham, Mrs. R. Bunker, Mrs. C. E. Chambers, Mrs. S. Eppendorf, Mrs. M. A. Howland, Mrs. M. E. Rowley, Mrs. J. M. Wilson, Mrs. M. F. Hines, Mrs. C. C. Dike, Managers. The first Board of Advisors was: Rev. A. P. Putnam, H. B. Claflin, J. Willetts, F. Woodruff, M. S. Beach. A boarding house was opened at No. 80 Willoughby street in 1871, as a home for self-supporting women. The demand for larger accommodations determined the society to purchase the property, which was done for $15,000. $22,000 more was spent in alterations, which fitted the house to receive about 50 boarders.

From the beginning, the house has paid its current ex- penses. The rate for permanent boarders is from $3.75 to $5.25 per week. A Women's Employment Bureau has also been established in connection with the Home. The present board (1883-'84) consists of Mrs. A. C. Field, Pres .; Mrs. C. A. Clarke, Vice-Pres .; Mrs. W. V. Tupper, Cor. Sec .; Mrs. S. M. Glover, Rec. Sec .; Mrs. A. Forman, Treas. Mrs. S. M. Par- sons, Mrs. M. E. Rowley, Mrs. J. Sterns, Auditors. Mrs. R. H. Manning, Mrs. M. A. Howland, Mrs. R. Bunker, Mrs. M. U. Lewis, Mrs. S. Ellinwood, Mrs. A. Coggeshall, Mrs. M. Chapman, Mrs. L. Fisk, Mrs. T. E. Jewell, Mrs. M. H. Holley, Mrs. L. F. Beecher, Miss J. Keese, Mrs. C. Wood, Managers; The Advisory Board is as follows: C. A. Field, H. B. Claflin, R. H. Manning, C. C. Dike, A. Forman.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - Through the efforts of Henry Bergh, the New York Society for P. C. T. A, was incorporated April 10, 1866, by a number of the best citizens of that city. Its objects were stated "to be the providing of effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States, the enforc- ing of all laws for the protection of animals, and the procur- ing the punishment of all persons violating such laws." From this beginning, branch organizations have been estab- lished in 37 states and territories, and Canada. The Society now numbers over 500 members. The first OFFICERS were : Henry Bergh, Pres .; J. T. Hoffman, Peter Cooper, D. D. Hicks, W. H. Aspinwall, Marshall O. Roberts, H. W. Bel- lows, James Brown, George T. Trimble, Moses Taylor, and H. B. Claflin, Vice-Pres'ts. The Society was vested with full power to carry out its specific objects, and has been most successful in securing humane treatment to animals, not alone in our large cities, but throughout the country. Hos- pitals for diseased animals, and an ambulance service for disabled ones, are now numbered among our city institu- tions. The Brooklyn Agency of above Society was started October 31, 1881, with J. R. Pye, Superintendent. During the first year, 301 arrests were made, 271 convictions secured, 871 disabled animals relieved from labor, and 429 humanely destroyed.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. -On December 13, 1880, a number of gentlemen met at the

residence of Mr. H. B. Claflin, for the purpose of organizing a society for the care of helpless children. Within two weeks an office was opened at 199 Montague street, the above name given to the Society, and active operations were begun. In the first ten months, 361 complaints were lodged at the office, and 160 children rescued from misery. The first OFFICERS were: Henry R. Jones, Pres .; H. B. Claflin and W. B. Leonard, Vice-Pres'ts .; Alexander Munn, Sec .; and Geo. S. Pease, Treas. The same board of officers have been con- tinued to the present time. During the year ending October, 1883, 653 complaints were lodged at the Society's office, by citizens, or the police, and 344 children removed from bruta] parents or guardians, and placed in homes or institutions ; 189 cases were prosecuted, and 177 convictions obtained. The aim of the Society is to prosecute those who abuse little ones; who send children into the street to beg; who would force girls into lives of degradation; who would place their offspring in situations dangerous to health; who maliciously commit friendless waifs to jail, or who attempt to debauch, dissipate, or in any way wrong the most helpless of our race.

Zion Relief Association (Home for Aged and Infirm of Zion Church) .- This organization was perfected December 7, 1869, to afford a free home to the aged poor of Zion A. M. E. Church of New York, and to others, upon such terms as the trustees should recommend. September 20, 1872, the trustees of Zion Church were authorized to purchase prop- erty for the erection of such a home, and soon after bought the property on Dean street, between Albany and Troy av- enues, for $4,800, and expended $2,350 for alterations and repairs. Accommodations were provided for fifteen inmates, which number has since increased to twenty-one.

Visiting Committee of the State Charities' Aid Associa- tion for the Kings County Institutions .- A central organiza- tion, known as the State Charities' Aid Association, formed in May, 1872, having its office in New York City, has for its objects-1. To promote an active public interest in the New York State Charities. 2. To make the present pauper system more efficient, and introduce reforms. In connection with this organization, local visiting committees are formed in the various counties in the State. In June, 1873, a preliminary meeting was held at the Mercantile Library, in Brooklyn, to organize a local visiting committee for the public institutions of Kings county, at which Mrs. Stranahan presided. At an adjourned meeting, October 14, a constitution and by-laws were adopted. The first OFFICERS were: Mrs. J. S. T. Stran- ahan, Pres .; Mrs. Wm. Ives Buddington, First Vice-Pres .; Mrs. A. C. Field, Second Vice-Pres .; Mrs. Gordon L. Ford, Cor. Sec .; Mrs. Elliston L. Perot, Rec. Sec.

Committees were appointed on Infants' Wards, on Hospi- tals, and on Alms-houses. The work of the committee has been productive of much good since the year of its organiza- tion. Public attention has been directed to the unfortunate condition of the public wards, and abuses corrected. The Board of State Charities is supported entirely by volunteer contribution, and the arduous duty devolving upon the vari- ous committees in Kings county have been performed as a labor of love. Mrs. Stranahan has been the President since 1873. OFFICERS, 1883-'4, are as follows: Mrs. J. S. T. Stran- ahan, Pres .; Mrs. Fisher Howe, First Vice-Pres .; Mrs. D. C. Robbins, Second Vice-Pres .; Mrs. John Vanderbilt, Cor. Sec .; Miss Dora Robinson, Rec. Sec .; Mrs. David Morrison, Asst. Sec .; Miss Lillie Brown, Treas.

Protestant Episcopal Mission to the Public Institutions .- In 1860, Mrs. Fellows, the wife of a disabled presbyter of the church, began to visit the city jail, hospitals, etc., with her husband, who performed such duties as required a clergy- man. April 1, 1869, Mrs. Fellows was appointed by the Mis-

sionary Committee of the new Diocese of Long Island to be " Missionary in Charge and to the prisons and public institu- tions in Kings county," with a stipend of $400. A month before, she had been appointed Missionary to the City Hospi- tal and jail, with a salary of $150. May 23, 1871, she was re- appointed. At the same time, Miss Eliza J. Coakley was ap- pointed " Missionary to the public institutions at Flatbueh." After 1872, Mrs. Fellows continued her work, though her salary was no longer paid. Testimony to her faithful ser- vices can be found in the reports of the Missionary Commit- tee. Since 1872, the Missionary Committee has devoted $400 annually to this work among the public institutions.

The Hospital Saturday and Sunday Association .- It was the custom in New York and London to take collections on the last Saturday and Sunday of the year, in public places, in behalf of the hospitals. In December, 1881, Messrs. Wm. G. Low, I. H. Frothingham, and Wm. M. Richards, were appointed a committee by the City Hospital, to introduce the custom into Brooklyn. An organization was formed, and a constitution adopted May 16, 1882, having for its object " to draw out benevolent gifts for hospital purposes, by bringing the claims of these charities simultaneously before the public; to stimulate personal donations and church collections on appointed days ; to obtain and distribute the gifts of those who aid the general object of hospital charity." It com- prised the following gentlemen, viz .: Mr. William G. Low, Mr. Isaac H. Frothingham, and Mr. William M. Richards, for the Brooklyn City Hospital; Mr. Thomas H. Rodman, for the Long Island College Hospital; Mr. Charles A. Townsend, Mr. David M. Stone, and Hon. William W. Goodrich, for the Homoeopathic Hospital ; Dr. R. C. Moffat, for the Homoeo- pathic Maternity ; Mr. Aaron Field, for the Brooklyn Home for Consumptives ; Mr. William H. Fleeman, Mr. Alexander E. Orr, and Mr. Carlos A. Butler, for St. John's Hospital; Mr. J. W. Vandewater, Hon. Geo. H. Fisher, and Hon. Sigis- mund Kaufmann, for the Eastern District Hospital; Hon. Samuel Booth, Mr. Alfred T.

The Brooklyn Indian Association was organized Decem- ber 4, 1882, in the Lafayette avenue Presbyterian church. Its object is : 1st, to awaken Christian public sentiment to

the abolition of all oppression of Indians within our national limits, and to the granting them the same protection of law that other races enjoy among us; 2d, to aid educational and mission work for and among Indians.

The general lines of work pursued are, as in the parent society, the circulation of literature adapted to the Asso- ciation's object; the circulation of memorials to Congress on behalf of Indians ; the securing popular meetings and arti- cles in the press which shall promote the growth of right sentiment concerning our national and individual duty to Indians, and the adoption of such other measures as seem fitted to further the ends desired.

The number of members has increased from 17 to 60. The names of the first OFFICERS are : Mrs. A. B. Smith, Pres .; Mrs. M. W. Huntington, Sec .; Mrs. L. H. Conklin, Treas .; Mrs. F. A. Iderstine, Mrs. J. Hamblet, Mrs. C. C. Woolworth, Mrs. William Moses, Mrs. J. H. Burtis, Vice-Pres'ts. A num- ber of public meetings have been held, under the auspices of the society, which have been addressed by those who thor- oughly understand the present condition and means of the

The Inebriates' Home for Kings County, office 401 Pearl street (see page 563a), was incorporated by an act of the legislature, on May 9, 1867.

The object was to devise means for the saving and redemp- tion of those addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors; and to afford an asylum for them, where they would be removed from the ordinary temptations of life, and receive medical and humane treatment. It was found by experience that the commitment of inebriates to jail not only did no good, but great harm both to the drunkard himself, and ultimately to society. The degradation of the prison seemed to dispel all hopes of a reformation. These facts being laid before the legislature, the act of incorporation was secured, and twelve per cent. of the excise tax, and all of the fines paid in the county for infringement of the excise law, were set apart for its use.

A block lying between Fourth and Fifth avenues, and 54th and 55th streets, was purchased ; a temporary home secured at the corner of Bushwick avenue and Chestnut street, and operations were commenced on the 10th of October, 1867.

Western Indians. The result has been manifested in an in- creasing public opinion favoring a change in the Indian ques- tion. The present OFFICERS are: Mrs. George Stannard, Pres .; Mrs. M. W. Huntington, Sec .; Mrs. J. B. Gilbert, Treas .; Mrs. M. A. Berry, Mrs. S. L. M. Prentice, Mrs. Geo. Watson, Mrs. Annie C. Field, Mrs. D. R. James, Mrs. W. H. Smith, Mrs. Woodbridge Nearing, Vice-Pres'ts.

The Wayside Home is an association formed March 5, 1880, by a number of benevolent ladies, for the purpose of providing a home for homeless women, and for helping them to procure employment. It commenced with 15 members, and now numbers 35. The first OFFICERS were as follows: Mrs. E. F. Pettengill, Pres .; Mrs. Annie C. Field, Vice-Pres .; Miss C. E. Coffin, Sec .; Mrs. C. W. Shepherd, Asst. Sec .; Mrs. E. F. Lawson, Treas.

The Association was duly incorporated, and secured a com- fortable house at No. 352 Bridge street. The accommoda- tions are hardly sufficient, and efforts have already been be- gun to secure more commodious quarters. The officers for 1883-'84 are the same as given above.

During the first two years, there were received 261 patients, including 41 re-admissions, and 27 patients so re-admitted. Of these, 160 were men, and 101 women. Of the whole number, 25 were boarders, the others being admitted to the benefits of the institution free; though some have contributed by labor to defray the cost of their support. The total cost of maintenance, including all house expenses and salaries of officers, was $47.77 for each person.

By an amended charter, the grant of twelve per cent. of the excise money was withdrawn, and an annual grant of $10,000 substituted. The want of a new and improved build- ing was severely felt. The sum of $200,000 was provided out of the receipts under the excise law, for the construction of such a building, which was converted into U. S. bonds. The eite was removed, from the position previously indicated, to a place near Fort Hamilton, known as " Beautiful View," on the Ridgeside road, where far superior advantages and accom- modations could be obtained. First Presidents : Hon. Geo. Hall, Hon. Jas. S. T. Stranahan, Theodore L. Mason, M. D., Geo. G. Herman, Esq. OFFICERS, 1884, are as follows : Geo.

The Truant Home of the City of Brooklyn (Juvenile House of Industry) was established in 1854, under "an Act to provide for the care and instruction of idle and truant children," passed in April, 1853. It was at one time located in the old Penitentiary, on the Clove road; but the J. T. Snediker Hotel property, on the Jamaica plank road, near Jamaica village (eleven acres), was purchased at a cost of $25,000, and in the rear of this, a large brick building, three stories in height, was erected for school purposes and dormi- tories. The hotel was used as a cooking and dining place, and residence of the operatives. On two sides of the school building, was erected a high fence, enclosing a play-ground of about an acre. No changes have since been made in these buildings.

This Home was established for the purpose of restraining, educating, and, if possible, reclaiming idle and vagrant chil- dren. To this Home vagrant children were committed by magistrates, on complaints by parents or others. Here they were kept during periods, varying from one to five or more years.

After the passage, by the Legislature, of the Compulsory Education Law in 1874, the Board of Education in Brooklyn organized the Bureau of Attendance, which consists of a superintendent and six agents, whose duty it is to see that the provisions of the law are carried out. The children found by these officers in the condition of vagrants, or non- attendants at school, are committed to the Home, where their education and well-being are looked after. Since the establishment by this Bureau of Attendance of schools, one in the eastern and one in the western district of the city, where a portion of the non-attendants at other schools are sent, the commitments to the Home by this Bureau have been fewer than before. The average number, through this Bureau and by the police, is more than two hundred annually. The super- intendent and teacher for 1883-'4 is Joseph Wagner.

The St. Joseph's Institute for the Improved Instruction of Deaf-Mutes was established at Fordham in the fall of 1869. During the first years of its existence the institution was sup- ported mainly by the exertions of its lady directresses; for, as is generally the case, the parents of the pupils were, for the most part, poor, and could contribute but little toward their support.
