in operation. This building, he estimates, can
be built of brick and furnished substantially
but plainly for $4,000. He estimates that the
changes in the kitchen building can be made
for $780, Smith & Abbott estimate that the
steam heating apparatus necessary for the two
buildings will cost $4,000. The furnishing of
the new ward and dining room will cost about
$1,000.
This makes an estimated cost of $l4,500
Making an allowance for unforeseen expenses,
which are almost sure to come up during the
progress of building, it seems to me that we
need not expect that the whole expense will
be more than $4,000 or $4,000.

made to secure this amount during the coming

the honor to present to you, we earnestly ad :
verified to the need of an amphitheatre, where
medical and surgical clinics could be held,
and operations performed, and witnessed when
admissible by physicians and students Of
medicine, and others interested in the medical
profession. The necessity still exists and be-
comes more urgent with each additional year
The hospital, as we have more than once
stated, furnishes rare facilities for observation
and instruction in all the branches of medical
and surgical science. But its legitimate use
fitness as an educator which is intimately
connected with the highest interests of society
is lamentably crippled, and must remain SO till
we can have a commodious amphtheatre,
We also in the reports referred to, dwelt at
length upon the fact that the erection of the
southwestern pavilion as contemplated by Mr..
Fassett, and which is SO essential to the
architectural completion and beauty of the
hospital, would soon become a necessity for
the accommodation of patients. That period
has already arrived. We need to- day the ad :
ditional pavilion to enable us to receive the
increased and constantly increasing number of
applicants for admission. Our female general
ward, and the private wards connected with it
are now full and have been for the last two
months.
Applications for admission, either for med
ieal or surgical treatment. are daily made which
we are reluctantly compelled to decline simply
for the want of room. They come from ali,
even the most remote sections of the State and
from all classes and conditions of society, from
the rich as well as the poor, those who seek
admission as free patients, and the wealthy
VINO are willing to pay generously for benefits
received, thus adding more or less to the
limited resources of our treasury,
But the cost of constructing and furnishing
the western pavilion would involve the raising
of very considerable amount of money, and
require more time for its accomplishment than
we can now afford to spare. Your directors.
therefore, having given careful attention to the
subject in all its bearings have come to the
unanimous conclusion that it will be inexpe
dent at this time to enter upon any practical
measures towards the prosecution of the work.

would relieve for some time the pressing wants
which now exist, and with but little compar-
alive delay, has been submitted by our archi-

The part of Cardinal McCloskey's pastor

nounces in this vigorous language certain
Catholic journals: "Nominally Catholic,
under the mask of patriotism, trading upon
the generous instincts of our people, they
endeavor to subvert authority and law.
Making loud professions of false love OF
country, they lead astray many sincere pat
riots. Neither priest nor bishop, nor the
Sovereign Pontiff himself, is safe from their
reyilings. They preach the worst kind OF
socialism and communism; they excuse

in our Judgment of your favorable consldera-
ton and speedy adoption.
First, it will secure the erection OF an
amphitheatre, which we regard as matter OF
paramount Importance TO the interests OF the
hospital.
Second, it will enable us to convert the
rooms now appropriated to surgical
purposes into comfortable and con-
venient apartments for the SICK.
Other changes are contemplated in the scheme
which, if carried out, will give us, what al
this time is so much needed, sixteen addition
al beds.
We refer you to the report of our superln-
tendent who has given much thought TO the
subject, for minute details of the plan pro-
posed and the estimated cost of its execution.

In conclusion we confidently assure you,

Postmaster Goddard's Case.

tiser
The Case of Postmaster Goddard of Portland
amounts t. just this: No charges have been lodged
against him at the department, though several
Maine papers allege shortage in his accounts and
general mismanagement. The officials have always
supposed the Portland Office to be in excellent
dition. The last regular inspection was made in
June by Inspector G. II. Bigelow, of Vermont He
found the accounts all right except that the money
order clerk was short several hundred dollars The
deficit was promptly made up, and the inspector
ported that there was evidence of any attempt
at fraud. The clerk had been in that place for
eral years, and his fidelity is unquestioned. Mr..
Goddard wrote to Postmaster General Gresham a
few days SINCE saying that he was ready for any in
vestgaton, but it is not likely that will be
dered until something more tangible which to
base it is produced. Regarding Mr.. Goddard's hold
ing the postmastership, and at the time deyot
ing himself to the revision of the Stats statutes,
another question arises. 1t is not believed that his
official duties have been neglected but executive
order forbiss federal officer to hold State Office
Mr. Haton holds that revising the statutes is not an
Office in the view of the order. but General Gresham
will make an inquiry before deciding. He has been
III for several days. but will take the matter up this
account of holding the two places, and not for any
Is. 1884. The salary is So 1000.
The above despatch is queer one in sew
eral respects. If the rest of it is no nearer
true than that part which says s'several
Maine papers allege shortage in his ac-
counts" it is as mistaken despatch as ev-
er was sent from Washington. No Maine
paper, so far as we are aware, has made
any such allegation. 1t originated in a
Washington paper and has not been repeat
ed in Maine except to be discredited. But
this is the first time anyone has given the
name of any officer who had reported defic-
iency in the Office, and the statement now
made is so strange and incomplete that it
will not be credited unless corroborated. The
question whether the Postmaster has violat-
ed any regulation in accepting the position
of commissioner to revise the laws of the
State depends upon the construction. the
executive department pnts upon that regu-
lation.

He has made pharmacy a special

for the great popularity Of the med
