This was a most un | | gent need, as the old heating plant, | consisting of thirteen different fur-| dition after another, | naces, was constantly being repair-| | ed and as they could only burn hard | coal the cost was very high. Some. of the furnaces had to be replaced this | year and the management was fore- | ed to congider the whole question of | heating because of the outlay en- | tailed. The new system is the most | up-to-date from the viewpoint of | efficiency and economy. A new cent- ral boflerhouse was bulit, and in it were installed two steam boilers and | an auxiliary hot water boiler, These { boilers provide steam for ten Man- | ning heaters that take the place of | the original thirteen furnaces. They | are coupled up to the headers of the old furnaces and it was not neces- y ary to disturb the piping or alter [a single radiator. A large chimney { was buiit at the boiler house and | there is a storage capacity for one Frank Gallagher, stationary engineer, is in | charge of *he plant and he states | that the new system will burn soft | coal and the quantity consumed will | be considerably less than the old furnaces used. When it is considered that soft coal is bought at about half the price of anthracite, some ap- preciation of the enormous saving affected in fuel is formed. The new plant was installed by the firm of Simmons Bros., construct- ing engineers and plumbers, King- ston, and no better job has ever been done in Kingston. A representative of the British Whig was privileged to inspect the institution and plant on Tuesday and gained at first hand an insight into the management of this large charitable institution. He was impressed by the economic change brought about by the fore- sight and thrift, as well as by the wonderful state of order and clean- { liness found everywhere, and the peace and contentment shown by the old, the infirm, the helpless and in- curable, whose welfare is the sole alm of the sisters. Mr. Gallagher, the engineer, stat. ed that when the plant is going. at full capacity during severe weather in midwinter it will burn about four tons of soft coal per day. Last wint- er the thirteen furnaces burned from five to six tons of hard coal and coke per day. The fuel bill reachea the enormous sum of $9,000. It is thus seen what it means to have an efficient plant and one that will utilize the cheapest grades of fuel. This is a cause for great satisfac- tion among the patrons of the House of Providence. The cost of the new heating plant places a heavy debt upon the institu- tion and plans are now being matur- ed by which it is hoped to raise the money needed. A bazaar will be held during the week beginning Nov. 19th, and if the response equals that ofthree years ago a large p>rtion of the debt will be wiped out immed- lately. The Roman Catholic popula- tion, and the friends of the excellent Order of the Sisters of Charity whose devotion is unfaltering in the_hour of extreme need, are now appealed to for financial assistance. At this present time when the Sisters of the House of Providence are making an earnest appeal for assistance to their many friends in this city and elsewhere, it may be interesting for those who were not actual observers to know something of the foundation and growth of this institute. In the year 1858, after the late Bishop Horan, of happy memory, the father and founder of this institute, bad taken possession and made, the first canonical visitation of his flock which numbered 100,000 souls, the prospect which was revealed to him wag far from encouraging--a wide- ly scattered population, mostly of exiles in a stramge land, struggling for a lvelihood, in great part on the fringes of the wilderness. All the characteristic adjuncts of Catholic beneficence, all but the bare essen- tals of the church's existence, were painfully lacking. Schools taught by religious preceptors were confined to this city; Catholic schools of amy kind were but few; the sick poor in their lowly tenements were unvisit- ed; the agonies of the fever-stricken in forest homes were unassuaged; nowhere in a territory of 30,000 square miles was known the tend- er care of those who sacrificed all the pleasures of the world to rend- er service to God in the person of the neighbor, with the exception of the small and poorly furnished in- firmary in which a little band of sisters (the now venerated Sisters of the Hotel Dieu) ministered to sick in crowded wards. Bishop Horan appealed for to the diocese of Mont § if capacity is far from being equal to the demand. It is painful to the management to be obliged to refuse 50 many who seek admittance. Al | Sastes of humanity--the sick, the feeble-minded, the incurables, the | aged and homeless of whatever creed or country have found: a home, re- | ceiving all the tender skillful care | which their dependent and infirm | condition require. until death claim | them. | The reasons for the present ap- | peal: From the fact of building { structure, as has been said, one ad- it came to pass, at length, that thirteem furn- aces were being operated for nearly eight months of the year. In the in- spector's report some years ago it was advised that the authorities should consider the advisability of installing a cheaper system of heat- ing. Hwing to having to use a large Jauantity of soft coal during the past year for which the chimneys and furnaces were pot suited, it became necessary to have the whole heating apparatus renewed before the com- fig of another winter. Competent | judges being consulted on the mat- ter, they were unanimous in their opinion that by the installation of one cent] heating plant, expensive | thougi be in the beginning, about | $30,0007 | not only would a veritable | saving be'made each year. but much | greater satisfaction would be ex- perienced. The decision was made. Then the question arose, "With the ordinary monthly expenditures, how assume this heavy responsibility?" The mother superior and sisters relying on their kind friends and benefactors who have aided them so this | -------- non JACKIE COOGAN IN CIRCUS I DAYS Bring the Kiddies down to see the Circus in our window. ~The Camel is well worth seeing.
