SEVENTEENTH NATIONAL CONFERENCE 
Charities and Correction, 
OP' 
TO USE HELD E-T IB-JkXjTirLdlOK.E, 
SV5AY 14 to 21, 1890. 
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT. 
The Seventeenth National Conference of Charities and Correction will hold its sessions in the City of Baltimore, 
Md., commencing Wednesday evening. May 14th, 1890, and continuing until Wednesday evening, May 21st. 
The object of the Conference is to obtain and diffuse information respecting benevolent, charitable, penal and 
reformatory work. It has no legislative or executive power, and does not formally express any united opinion upon 
the subjects discussed. 
All members of boards of State charities, all trustees and officers of benevolent, charitable, penal and reforma- 
tory institutions and societies, and all officials engaged in benevolent and reformatory work throughout the United 
States, are, ex officio, members of the Conference, and are cordially invited. 
Invitation is also extended to others not connected with any charitable organization or institution, who are 
actively engaged or interested in charitable or reformatory work, to attend the sessions and take part in the 
deliberations. 
The officers of the Conference, its chairmen and members of committees are men and women who are 
engaged in studying and promoting the best methods of caring for the unfortunate and distressed. The papers 
and discussions will be prepared and engaged in by practical people, specialists in their profession. The results of 
actual trial and experience will be related. The theories advanced will be frankly criticised by those able to judge 
them. Hence the great and growing value and interest of these National gatherings, which have been held from year 
to year in many of the principal cities of the Nation. The Programme 
As far as arranged is as follows, subject to change by the Executive Committee.

The local committee makes the following announcements : 
Railroad Arrangements.—Rates of a tare and a third have been made by the Trunk Lines Committee, the Central Traffic Associ- 
ation and the Southern Passenger Association. This covers the territory east of Chicago and St. Louis, and north of New Orleans, 
except New England. The committee still hopes to make arrangements with the New England roads, and also to secure the privilege 
of returning over a different route to the one taken going. The privilege of return at the one-third fare will be secured on certificates 
signed by the Secretary of the Conference. Delegates will pay full fare going, taking a receipt from the ticket agent. It will be 
necessary to purchase the tickets within the territory of the roads granting the reductions. 
Hotel Arrangements.—Will be announced in a future circular. 
Excursions and Entertainments.—The Conference will be invited to spend an afternoon at the Johns Hopkins Hospital, one at 
the Thomas Wilson Sanitarium, and another on an excursion down the Patapsco river to the bay, including a visit to the great steel 
and iron works at Steelton. Other excursions will be arranged but have not yet been settled definitely. The mayor of Baltimore 
has put the steamer Latrobe at the service of the Committee. 
Ladies’ Committee.—The Ladies’ Committee will look after lady delegates who have no escorts; will direct them to proper and 
economical places to stay, in case they do not wish to go hotels; give them any information they require, and see to their comfort as 
far as possible. Arrangements have been made with first-rate boarding houses to take lady delegates of the Conference at $1.00 per 
day for rooms, and $1.00 to $2.00 per day for rooms and board. 
Meeting of Reception.—The Conference will be opened by Governor Jackson, of Maryland. Governor Campbell, of Ohio, has 
promised to attend. Other distinguished gentlemen are invited and their names will be announced in a subsequent circular. 
The Johns Hopkins University has kindly tendered the use of its Levering Hall for the meetings of the Conference. One 
afternoon will probably be spent in visiting the University. !EtaGal ©omrmttee.
