An Appeal from the Hospital

At the last meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the hospital estimates were presented
by the prudential committee showing that u
clear saving of at least seven hundred dollars
per year could be made by the substitu-
ton of machinery for the hand labor now
employed in the laundry. 1t costs now near
ly two thousand dollars per year to do this
work; by machinery the expense can be re-
duced to about twelve hundred dollars, per-
haps even less. Fifteen hundred dollars
would be ample for putting up the requisite
machinery. In three years, therefore, the
improvement would pay for itself in the re-
duction of expenses.
The hospital society, however, as is well
known, has no funds to call upon for such
extraordinary expenses. The directors have
no power to draw from the permanent fund
for this purpose, most of it, indeed, being al
ready dedicated blythe doners to the founding
of free beds. To make this very desirable
Improvement it is necessary either to borrow
the money or to appeal to the friends of the
hospital for the funds The directors are
very 10th to adopt the former method when
they can see no clear way before them for
Its repayment. They prefer to ask the friends
OF the hospital to contribute directly to
this method of making a very considerable
reduction in the current expenses, and in
just SO far increasing its usefulness
Contributions to this purpose would be
best sent to Mr.. Leonard S. Hotchkiss, treasurer
of the hospital society, at the New Haven
county National bank.

A Complete Surprise.

A very pleasant episode in the life of Mr..
Thomas G. Pitman, who has been many
years connected with the JOURNAL AND
COURIER, occurred yesterday afternoon at
his residence on Dow street. His associates
on the COURIER took upon themselves to sur
prise him, and 80 they did. They procured
at Messrs. Bowditch & Prudden's an elegant
upholstered easy rocking chair of fine mate
rial and workmanship and had it conveyed
to his house yesterday in his absence. Upon
his arrival his establishment can better be
imagined than described, as the surprise was
complete in every detail. With it also went
kind note of the donors. expressing their
heartfelt best wishes for himself and wife
and for each long life and prosperity.

Termination of the Ladies' Tourna-
menr-A Brilliant success.
Miss Miller, of Newark, and Miss N. B.
Trowbridge, of the local club, met yesterday
afternoon to determine whether the second
prize singles should remain here or not. The
match was very interesting one, and was
won by Miss Trowbridge after pretty hard
battle, which the score of games does not
show as the games were contested point by
point, and were won after many long rallies.
AS result of the tournament Miss Lesley, a
niece of Professor Lesley, University of
Pennsylvania, wins first prize in singles, a
silver puff box.
Miss Trowbridge, of New Haven, daughter
of Professor w. P. Trowbridge, Columbia
college, wins second prize, silver buckle.
Miss Miller, of Newark, wins the prize for
the greatest number of Glove games" q
brooch in gold consisting of crossed racquets.
In connection with this prize it may be said
that when Miss Miller met Miss Lesley in the
final for the first place singles, each lady had
six love games to her credit won during
the tournament. Miss Miller won three love
in the match games to Miss Lesley's one,
leaving the score of Glove games" at the end
of the match, Miss Miller (9) nine to Miss
Lesley C0 seven, so that the match gave a
prize to each player; Miss Lesley puff box
for first place singles and Miss Miller gold
brooch for greatest number of Glove games. u
In the ladies' doubles Miss Trowbridge and
Miss Lent win first place and are each award,
ed very handsome silver manicure set pre-
sented by the gentlemen members of the
New Haven Lawn club.
In the s'mixed doubles" Miss Miller, Of
Newark, and Mr.. Brinley, of Trinity, win
the prizes. This pair lost only one set in al
their matches and this was to Miss Hudson
of Hartford and R. V. Beach of this city.
The prize consists of tall brass standard
lamp for Miss Miller and beautiful bronze
table lamp for Mr.. BrinIey.
The ladies who have had the management:
of the tournament feel we'll repaid for the
care and labor which it has been to them by
the success which has attended it. Nc
ladies' tournament yet held has equalled ii
in the number of participants, in the prom
inence of the players taking part or In the

When the court came in yesterday the ar
guments for the defense were made in the
murder case of the State vs.. Wales Doolittle
of Bethany. B. J. Stanley made the open
ing argument and was followed by G. w.
Willett, who made an able argument in
which he endeavored to convince the jury
that Doolittle was insane at the time he did
the killing. He spoke for over two hours
and on concluding was followed by II. G.
Baldwin for the State. Judge Phelps
charged the jury on the conclusion of Mr..
Baldwin's speech and at $3.50 the jury retired
to deliberate on their verdict. At 4:45 they
returned with verdict of guilty. Doolittle's
eyes were intently fixed upon the jury while
the clerk was calling their names, and when
the foreman announced their verdict he took
his seat as unconcerned as possible. The
judge at once ordered court adjourned until
this morning at 10 o'clock, when sentence
will probably be pronounced. It must be

Deputy Sheriff Keefe took Doolittle back to
Jail and the latter told the deputy that if he
had to go to State prison he "would not live

fact that they were ten for conviction
and two for acquittal on the ground of in
