REPORT OF THE HOME SUPERINTENDENT. COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO., February 1, 1905. To the Board of Trustees, Union Printers' Home: GENTLEMEN-There has been a noticeable advance in provisions the past month, eggs ranging from $8 to $12.50 per case, and toward the latter part of the month only cold-storage eggs could be secured at the latter price. For this reason the use of eggs was discontinued for about a week in January. Butter also reached the high water mark, selling as high as 30 cents a pound in case lots.

Extreme cold weather has prevailed in this section the past month, thus making it necessary to run steam all night the greater portion of the month. It has not been necessary to employ extra $212 95 help, however, the gardener being used as fire

man when steam was run on the buildings continuously. Very little complaint has been made by residents occupying tents during extreme cold weather. Each tent resident was supplied with an extra all-wool blanket, ten in number, at a cost of $42.50.

In the ist of indebtedness appears the Out West Printing Company's bill for two months. Included in its statement is a visitors' register, $16.50, ordered by the board at its recent meeting, and new edition of the amended rules governing the Home, $20.50.

A carpenter has been engaged for five days the past month on general repairs on buildings and furniture.

During the past month certain repairs were necessary on the steam boilers, necessitating an expenditure of $16.74, as follows:

J. L. Harlan, fire brick, clay and labor..... $7 30
Eugene Portner, carpenter labor..
Hassell Iron Works, lintel...
St. John & Barnes, fittings.

Total......

4 00 3.49 I 95

.$16 74

In setting the boilers in the present location it seems the contractor used common red brick and lime mortar. The excessive heat eventually caused the brick and mortar to crumble and fall down, permitting the "dead plate" to drop in center, entirely closing up the fire box doors.

Douglas & Hetherington, architects, submitted a bill this month for $54, which includes full-sized details for inscription on cast side of entrance to gateway; details for cast bronze tablets; drawings, prints, etc., for columns and girders for enlargement of annex dining-room; details for room register, and incidental visits to Home for measurements, etc., in relation to above work.

The material for the fire alarm system and night watchman's detector, recommended by the chief of the Colorado Springs fire department, has been received, and the work is almost completed. This work has been delayed the past month on account of the cold weather. Following is the expenditure in this direction to date:

Wednesday evening, January 25, the third of the series of monthly entertainments, which began in November, was given. It was in the form of an oldtime minstrel show, and proved a source of much pleasure, both to the audience and entertainers, the latter being principally residents of the annex.

These monthly entertainments, as rehearsals are held frequently, have proven a means of occupy ing much of the time of those who participate and of relieving their minds greatly from the monotony which often becomes burdensome to residents who must wait patiently for a return of health and strength. Besides this, the entertainments have also proven a means of demonstrating the remarkable advance in condition made by many of the annex residents. Several of these residents who, when they came to the Home a few months since were in extremely weak condition, have been able to take an active part, without injury to themselves. The entertainments have been much appreciated by the residents of the main building, and have proved a pleasurable innovation and a successful method of relieving the monotony of

life at the Home during a long and severe Colorado winter. Several of the Home's employes have willingly lent their assistance. Aside from the residents, the audiences have been made up of visitors from Typographical Union No. 82, and have grown so large that at the December entertainment it was necessary to expend $31.50 for extra folding chairs, which, however, were ordered some eight months ago for use on such occasions. The Home stage and scenery has been increased from time to time, and at the last performance was added to materially through the instrumentality of the cleverness with the brush of one of the annex residents.

George S. Weaver, who was admitted to the Home January 2, from New York No. 6, was operated upon, January 6, by Dr. Christopher, for removal of enlarged prostate gland. Mr. Weaver was suffering severely from the trouble on his ar rival, and his condition became so aggravated in a few days that it was found imperative to perform the operation to save his life. Although the opera tion was an heroic one, it proved successful, and the patient is convalescing fully as rapidly as could be expected for a man of Mr. Weaver's age -seventy years. It was necessary to remove the patient to St. Francis hospital, where the operation was performed.

Insurance to the amount of $1,000 has been placed on the ten tents the past month, and an expired policy renewed on the buildings for $2,500.

The planting season (under glass) is at hand for bedding stock for the coming season, and seed to the amount of $7.30 for this purpose has been purchased from the Peter Henderson Co., New York, the past month.

Aluminum shades have been placed in halls and rooms in main building and annex, as ordered by the board, at a cost of $58.36.

The total expenditure for the past month was $4.537.88. The table supplies consumed during the month amounted to $1,276.96. The average cost of food per meal was eight cents. Average number of inmates for the month, 137; average cost per inmate per month, based upon actual maintenance, $25.68.

Eight inmates were admitted, four vacated and there were no deaths.

The following is the record of admissions and departures for the month of January:
