Growing Public Demand For Contagious Disease Hospital

That there is a growing demand in the city for a hospital in which contagious and infectious diseases may be treated has been manifested since public interest has been aroused over the case of a woman confined at the Home for Friendless, suffering with a dread blood disease. There are not sufficient facilities in the city now for the proper treatment of contagious and infectious diseases is the claim advanved of those who have investigated the matter. The solution of the question is found by many in the construction of a contagious and infectious disease hospital on Reid Memorial hospital grounds, but such a distance from the present institution that there would be no danger to the patients confined in it. The situation now is this: Reid Memorial hospital authorities refuse to receive cases of the dread blood disease, the board of managers of the Home for the Friendless has refused to take any more such cases and the city is not prepared to care for such patients at the city contagious hospital. Reid Memorial hospital is not con sidered the proper place for such cases owing to the danger other patients would be exposed to. Even if tents were provided on the hospital grounds there would be no means to restrain patients occupying the tents and consequently they would, the hospital authorities believe, leave their quarters and endanger the patients confined in the hospital proper. Although there are physicians who see no reason why the Home for Friendless, if provided with a trained nurse, would not be a proper place to care for such diseases, yet the board of managers says It will not accept another such case because it has not the facilities to protect little children, feeble minded women and aged women conllned there. As the arrangements at the city contagious hospital now are people suffering from dread blood diseases can not be confined there without great danger to patients who may be suffering from some other contagious disease. The hospital authorities believe that a pavilion for contagious diseases could be constructed on the grounds, or anywhere In fact, if the proper nursing and supervision facilities were afforded and the situation would thus be cleared. But to quarter such patients in tents at the hospital would only make the situation worse than to place them in some part of the building, which the authorities also refuse to do. The- woman now at the Home to whom the authorities apply the fictftious title of Mrs. Marson, was treated with "606" at the hospital and then taken to the Home for Friendless. This is the first case of the kind the home, which is a charitable institution, has had and it refuses to have anothed. The Home officials say there has been a rule on the Institution's books for several years, prohibiting the acceptance of such cases, but tho matron explains that she took in the woman because she had no where else to go and also that she could not consult the managers of the Home until after the woman had been confined. The woman is isolated in a room from all other Inmates. She is improving. The woman has been a resident here two years, but seemingly has no friends or relatives. She is about 26 years old and the home authorities understand has been divorced. The position of the Home for Friendless Is set forth in the following resolution adopted by the board at its meeting this week: TO THE PUBLIC. Whereas, We have a rule on our books that no infectitious case can be

and the Place

received into the home, and whereas, a case has been imposed upon us of this nature and the desire has been expressed that a tent be placed on our premises for the accommodation of such case, and Whereas, Our condition is such, on account of the presence of children, feeble minded girls and helpless old ladies and only one to oversee all, that such an arrangement is impossible, therefore Resolved, That we must insist upon our rule being observed and hereafter, under no circumstances will such cases be received and that we cannot permit a tent to be placed on our premises.

REUNION

YOUTHFUL PRINCE WILLJjNIlVESTED Eldest Son of King George Will Become Prince of Wales on Thursday.

(rational News Association) London, July 12. Rivaling the coronation itself in solemn splendor will be the ceremony tomorrow attending the investiture of the Prince of Wales. The ceremony will take place at Carnarvon Castle, where the first Prince of Wales was born more than six centuries ago. The King and Queen who leave Dublin today will land at Holyhead tomorrow morning and proceed thence by train to a small station a few miles from Carnarvon. The journey to the castle will be mide under military escort and the arrival and welcome of their Majesties will be made the occasion for quaint and picturesque ceremonies. The investiture is to take place in the early afternoon. The King will perform the ceremony, and a religious service will be conducted by the Bishop of Bangor and by a representative minister of the nonconformits churches. Within the castle two main processions will be formed, the procession of his royal highness the Prince of Wales proceeding first, followed by that of their Majesties the King and Queen. The Prince, immediately after beinz invested will proceed to the celebrated Queen Eleanor's Gateway at the southern extremity of the castle, commanding a view of the great castle square and the state quay, which will bo cleared for the accommodation of tho public. There, on a platform, the Prince will present himself to the view of his Welsh subjects. The Prince will wear a specially designed robe of gold cloth, modeled after one worn by Charles I., and beneath will retain his simple cadet dress, which is, after all, the highest uniform he can wear. The title of Prince of Wales comes to the heir to the throne as an act of grace on the part of his father. The monarch is under no obligation to be stow the dignity of Prince of Wales upon his first born. Edward VII., for instance, did not confer the title of Prince of Wales upon his son until the latter had completed his tour of the colonies, that is to say, considerably more than a year after the demise of Queen Victoria. Edward I. was the. first king of England to create his eldest son Prince of Wales, with the object of reconciling the Welsh chieftains to English domination, after the death of Llewellyn, the last native ruler of Wales. But it was not until the reign of Edward III., that the latter raised the earldom of y o.nau 10 a auKeaom, ana nestowea it upon his son, Edward the Black Prince, with the provision that it should always be held by the heir apparent who was the son of the souvereign. Hence it will be seen that, contrary to the popular impression, the dignity of Prince of Wales, as borne by the British heir apparent, is older than that of the Duke of Cornwall. The dignity of Prince of Wales carries with it no revenue, nor even prerogatives, and its holder sits in the House of Lords, and is enabled to take part in its deliberations, not as Prince of Wales, but as Duke of Cornwall. Prince Edward, who will be the central figure in tomorrow's elaborate ceremony, is a typical Anglo-Saxon lad. He was born June 23, 1894, and entered the Royal Naval College at the age of thirteen. With his brothers and sisters he has been brought up as much like other English children as possible. They have been subjected to gentle but firm discipline and trained in habits of industry and self-reliance. DEPARTS FROM ERIN. Dublin, July 12. The four days' visit of the King and Queen to Ireland came to an end today, when their Majecties and their suites left Dublin for Kingstown, whence tey are to travel in the royal yacht Victoria and Albert to Holyhead. The royal party were given a cordial farewell. It is only the sanguine-minded, however, who look to find substantial, desirable political effects from the King's visit to Erin. There was less deliberate aloftness displayed than was threatened. There probably would have been less still had there not been keenly jealous supervision. However that may be, it has not lessened the admiration for the tact and tireless good will with which the King performed his mission. Pawning Bank Bills. "Pawnbrokers don't think much of ten dollar bills us pledges." said tbe city salesman. "I ssiw a man pawn one the other day for $6.50. When asked why be didn't spend his $10 instead of eoaking it for a little more than half tbe amount be explained that he wanted to keep that particular bill. Twice before be bad tried to keep a certain bill by giving it as security to a friend who had so many bills that he wouldn't need to spend that particular one. but both times the friend got bis money mixed and the keepsnke was lost after all. This time be depended upon the pawnbroker to tide bim over. To pawn money struck roe as a very curious proceeding, but the broker assored me that it is frequently done by people who attach a sentimental value to a particular bill or coin." New York Sun. His Choice. "Yes." said the specialist, as be stood at tbe bedside of tbe miser millionaire. "I can care you." "But what will it coat?" came feebly from tbe lips of tbe sick man Tbe specialist made a swift mental calculation. "Ninety-flre dollars, was bis answer.

A FRANK OPINION. It Relieved the Man and Startled the Railroad President. During the ninth annual dinner of the Traffic club of Pittsburg President George b". Baer told this story: Now. I do not altogether agre with your toast master that tbe public has any great respect for the ability of railroad magnates. 1 tuiuk they dt possibly overrate their capacity. I bad a very peculiar experience last summer. I was sitting ou my porch in Reading after dinner, smoking a cigar, when up tbe walk came a very tal! man with a carpetbn'g In bis baud He stopped at the bottom of tbe steps and said, "Be you the president ot thWALKED DOWN THE 8TEPS AMD TURNED. Reading railroad?" I drew up my shoulders and said I was. Then be walked up tbe steps and said. "What is tbe price of a ticket from bre to Niagara Falls and back?" 1 said pleasantly: "My dear friend. I do not know. You will have to go down to the ticket office. Do you know where it is?" He said "Yes," picked op his carpetbag, looked at me and said. "You are the president of tbe Reading railway and don't know tbe price of a ticket to Niagara Falls and back!" Well. I said I didn't. Then be walked down the steps and turned and. gazing at me for a moment with a look of mingled pity and contempt, said with a sneer. "You are a bell of a railroad president!" A Stab For John. . At 3 o'clock one morning Mr. Young crept softly up tbe stairs after a night of dissipation at the club.

In one of the interior counties of New York state there lives an aged Scotchman who by native shrewdness has made a fortune and has done it without tbe slightest bit of education. One day be and an acquaintance were talking, when the latter said to old Duncan: "Say, Duncan, you don't know enough to go In when it rains. Why, you can't even spell bird." "B-u-r-d." muttered old Duncan. "I tell you. you don't know anything. Why. If you had to spell to make a living you'd have been dead years ago. I'll bet you a hundred right now you can't spell bird." "I'll take you." quickly replied Duncan. After the money was pot np Duncan said: "B-l-rd." "That ain't the way you spelled it the first time" "I wasn't bet tins; then. SJgsbee and the Burglar.
