Babies’ Summer Hospital a 
Most Worthy Charity. 
Perhaps no worthier charity has 
ever interested the North Shore res- 
idents than the new summer hospital 
for babies, now in active operation at 
Baker’s Island. This sanitarium for 
the little ones is an outgrowth of 
the Peabody Fresh Air Fund, with 
which an experimental station was 
established at Baker’s last August. 
There had long been recognized a 
necessity for such an establishment, 
and through the efforts of public- 
spirited citizens, a fund was established 
to conduct the enterprise in a business 
manner. 
The summer hospital overlooks the 
ocean and has accommodations for 
several hundred babies. No children 
over five years of age are admitted for 
treatment, although a mother who 
cannot otherwise leave may have the 
privilege of bringing a child not over 
six with her as companion. 
No distinctions of race or religion 
are made whatever. Physician’s orders 
govern the admission of patients, and 
the parents provide their own lunches. 
The babies are, however, fed by the 
hospital. A limited number of babies 
may be kept over night, but no pro- 
vision is made for accommodation of 
mothers, who can, however, visit the 
babies each day. 
The estimated expenses are $10,000, 
and it is gratifying to note that a con- 
siderable portion of the $5,000 already 
subscribed has been contributed from 
the North Shore. The society hopes 
next year to enlarge the buildings, or 
possibly even before this season closes. 
Through the courtesy of the Beverly 
Transportation company the mothers 
are given a little outing en route to 
the island hospital, from Beverly or 
Salem. 
The Babies’ Summer Hospital soci- 
ety is the official name of the corpora- 
tion, whose president is Hon. David 
M. Little of Salem. Mr. George C. 
Farrington of Peabody is secretary- 
treasurer, and Chas. E. Bertholf of 49 
Washington square, Salem, is field 
secretary. Either of these last two 
gentlemen are authorized to receive 
money for the fund, and we trust our 
readers will find the subject worthy of 
their much appreciated assistance. 
The Boston Record commenting on 
the work editorially, says: 
“A practical philanthropy of the 
highest order is this summer hospital, 
to be opened for babies at Baker’s 
Island, near Salem, where the tots 
may inhale the soothing, strenthening 
salt breezes. It matches well the 
Bigelow summer home for little crip- 
ples at Lowell’s Island. No greater 
charity hath man than that which 
brings life and health to the frail and 
unfortunate mites of humanity.”

Peace Conference to Meet at 
Portsmouth. 
‘“‘Not in the least,’’ said Baron de 
Rosen last night when the BREEZE 
man asked him if the fact that the 
peace conference is to be held in 
Portsmouth would cause a change in 
his plans as regards spending the 
summer in Manchester. 
“Portsmouth is not very far away,”’ 
he said, ‘and I can easily go back and 
forth.” 
Baron de Rosen returned yesterday 
afternoon from Washington and from 
his visit to the President. The date 
of the conference, he says, has not 
yet been definitely decided upon.

Whisperings.. 
I was interested a few days ago 
to learn that Orlando Merrill, father 
of Janitor Benj. F. Merrill of the 
G. A. Priest school of Manchester, 
was the first man to wave a flag 
over Bunkill Hill monument. It 
was not in an official capacity, how- 
ever. It seems that Mr.. Merrill 
was one of the contractors connect- 
ed with the construction of the 
monument. One day the workmen 
from below were surprised to see 
dangling from the top a large 
American flag, which was being 
waved by Mr. Merrill.- He did it, 
he said, that he might have the 
honor of waving the first flag over 
the monument.
