THE PROPOSED MUSEUM, &a
LM Editor.

Sir,—! am what le called a "Working Man" just
come to this town from the north, and know from
bitter experience what foolish fellows working men
have been in the strikes and such ilk.; but from what
little I have read since I have been south, the name of
working men is made use of to rake money to provide
a grand place of amusement for the rich. I read the
meeting the other night, and saw what big sums of
money was subscribed for the new hove, which
Included • Working Men'. Institute. Now, in going
In South-street, ( I went there one dinner-time, and
soon found I wasn't wanted) the members I found was
clergymen, tradespeople, bankers' and other clerks,
but none of the sect &led working men, and yet they
are leading the rich people of the county to think
that they are subscribing to help my class Now this
is not fair, and if you will print this I shall be glad.
I am, Sir,
A &eon Conn.

PROPOSED NEW BUILDING FOR THE MUSEUM,
SCHOOL OF ART, AND INEfTTIUTE.

•
re the Editor of the Doe ii County Renew and Taws se
Sis„—As one of the " outride public" who, last Tuesday
evening, met in the County Hall to express our thanks to
Mr. R. Williams for his munificent gift, I was • little
surprised at some of the proposed arrangements. I
suppose that, as the School of Art receives aid from
Government, it is neeseary that It should have • *operate
existence: but. I fall toss. that it is • necessity for the
Museum mad Institute to be two distinct bodies. Woubt
It not be much better for them both to have one thoroughly
good library, one reeding-room copiously supplied with
neinpapersand perlodiWis, with one expense for cleaning,
lighting, and attendance, rather than as at present, two
poorly supplied libraries and news-rooms? In looking
over the reports, it does not appear that either society has
• very heavy surplus at the end of each year, and it
certainly seems to ma that if these two excellent lustitu-
tines could at once amalgamate it would be much better.
Get the whole of the members of each meet together

NATIONAL HOSPITAL FOR DISRASZS OF THE

HEART AND PARALYSIS.

Bobo-aquAre. London.

To tie litlitor of the dopesot out Tel*Tram

Sir,—The violent storms of the lad few weeks have so
motional, injured thie Hospital. as to have necessitated all
the back walls and the roof being propped up with heavy
beam' of timber. To enable the entire outer wall to be
rebuilt at an estimate of £l,lOO funds are most earnestly
needed. . . . .

Many serious cases of heart disease and paralysis have
been sent to their homes, and very had cams are awaiting
the restoration of the building before they can be
admitted.
Dimmest of the heart have greatly in.:reseed during the
last ten years. and it!. melancholy to see so many young
people suffedng from this terrible malady, and meet
serious to reflect In sons, of the came LI to the sad future
which is in store for them, many having inherited the
disease. It to. however, most encouraging to find how
subservient certain heart affections are to prompt and
proper medical treatment.
Rheumatic fever is • great generator of heart dibeae
but the very large number of ratios annually relieved and
cured at the above institution is most satisfactory, as
numeroos and most grateful letters from patients testify.
The Treasurer of the Charity (the Right Hon. the Earl
of Glasgow) would gratefully receive and acknowledge
donations. -

THE DRAINAGE SCHEME.

Sir.—! read in your columns that at the butt meet-
ing of the Council one of the monaborff in advocating
the ceiling in of "that eminent authority," Sir
Joseph Basalgotte, to mai upon a ew stem of
drainage mid there would be no nemisnity evensy if Sir
Joseph's whams were adopted to employ him to carry
out the works. Let me call attention to • letter read
at the last medig of the Board of Oommissionets at
Bournemouth, where Sir Joseph has also sent in a
report I quote from • newspaper cuttinj

" letter was mad from Sir Joseph Sax tie declin-
ing to take any radium responsibility as to • •filciencr
of this scheme Oils own. mind you!) unless he could
porsenarly nsparineaud it. carrying out."
I think, probably, this is worth consideration.
