The Cottage Hospital.
Editor Kenaebec Journal:

Editor Kenaebec Journal:
touched upon in the discussion by the
Homeopathic Medical Society at their
meeting in this city on Tuesday last. 1t was
that of the great need now being experienced
and treatment of the insane in our State,
necessity recognized by every intelligent
citizen familiar with the now crowded con-
dition of the Hospital in this city Thi>
was alluded to in the discussion upon the
the bequest to the above named society,
made by the late DR.. Clark of Deer
ing. There can be no doubt that
it was DIR. Clark's intention to give the
property named in his will to the society OF
which he was SO valued member, and of
whose colleagues he had SO high an opinion,
for the purpose named-that of establishing
a hospital upon the cottage system, the most
favored plan, especially for insane patients.
and one which is approved by the entire
medical faculty. This is shown by the pro-
vision of the will which stipuates
that "a building costing not less
than $500 shall be built - which
building could only be serviceable
in connection with the cottage
system, and, forming a part of such plan.
would make good beginning in connection
with buildings already upon the property
And it seems pity that the clear wishes of
the testator, should be thwarted through the
dcft wording of legal document which thu
testator supposed expressed his will but which
1t now appears did not.
But new hospital for the insane will soon
be demanded, and that institution wherever
located and however administered should
be built on the cottage plan. For
thirty years this system has been employed in
England for chronic and insane patients, and
is becoming somew hat employed in this coun-
try 1t has many points in its favor, among
them that the great advantages of abundant
sunlight, pure air. good ventilation, perfect
drainage. and the general higher percentage
of cures in such hospitals. over the immense
dark, cold. prson-like structures built fifty
or sixty wears ago, and of which the Old
wings of our Insane Hospital are so good an
example.
A conservative opinion would be that in
the management of such a hospital, or indeed
of any State hospital, or State charitable or
benevolent institution, all schools and sects
should be recognized 1t was long before
women were admitted on visiting or advisory
boards or recognized as physicians to such
institutions; now that they are. and are doing
good work in such places, is any one found
rash enough to say they should not be there
recognized? So will it one day be with III.
..schools" about which there may be now
some jealousy. The good in all will be EN-
ploved and recognized. and the best men and
" men in each, will be called to help
devise the best means of administering the
alta rs of these BLESSED inst tutions for the
highest good of a common humanity, born tc
suffering las the sparks to fly upward" And
NAV we all helpto hasten the good time, each
doing all we can and in the m 'st effective
way, to accomplish the end sought.

anything unusual was noticed in his

then told the druggists what he

moned DR.. Kellogg, who administered
an antidote in the shape Of raw eggs.
Lowther begged the doctor to do nothing

That Electric Road Again.

EDITORS HERALD If not inconsist ent
to use the columns Of your pa
per to call the attention of the
City Council to the great injustice which
they will do the residents of the Eastside
if they should grant the franchise now
asked for over Buena Vista and Hof
streets, for an electric railway, which
will ultimately prove ruinous to
this particular section-because it
will only benefit the said electric
railroad at the expense of a beau
tiful street, which might sometime be
used for street-car line between the
Eastside and the city, instead of using
in only as an alley-way for get
ting the country travel into the heart
OF the city with trains hourly at
best, which will not be any benefit what
ever to the Eastside people; whereas, in
the near future there would otherwise be
street cars run over this route that would
be some benefit to the people other than
merely Offering the Pasadena railroad a
passage way.
Then, again, our Councilmen should
remember the greatest good to the great
est number is by all means proper, re-
gardless of the personal influence
brought to bear in this matter-even
though this solicitor does present his
long petition signed by the spectators
who probably think that the completion
of such road will assist them in making
sale Of his property along this route
he does not consider what serious mat
ter this is, and that after it is done it con-
not be remedied.

OBJECTIONABLE EMBLEMs.
The Dedication of a Jewish Tenn
PIE Postponed.

New YORK, August 3.-The New
Mount Sinai congregation, composed of
wealthy Hebrews, assembled tonight to
attend the dedication of the newly &C.
quired temple in East 72d street, but dis
persed without having the ceremony
take place, by order of Chief Rabbi Jo-
seph. The edifice was formerly used by
the Episcopal denomination Of st. James,
and in the alterations which had been
made, two crosses had been by oversight
allowed to remain. When the time for
beginning the services arrived this eve
ming some of the congregation were noti-
fed of the crosses upon the temple and
consulted Chief Rabbi Brown, who for
bid the services and the assembled con-
gregation was dismissed. The objec-
tionable emblems will be removed and
the dedication services will take place on
Friday next.
