INCIDENT OF THE NEW YORK PARADE
A funny incident occurred at the
last minute before the centennial
civic parade got under way in New
York. The committee had selected
as Prince Carnival q handsome
German, who was to ride in the
champagne cup at the top of the
carnival float. When ready for the
ascent to the dizzy seat, Adonis
lost his courage and refused to go.
Mr.. RAIDER, of Puck, was hastily
trigged out in the Princes fnery
and rode in the great goblet, but
he said it was the most uncomfort-
able experience of his life, and that
he wouldn't repeat it for fortune.
THE FINEST HOSPITAL IN THE WORLD
The Johns Hopkins Hospital in
Baltimore, the largest, most richly
endowed, and completely equipped
institution of the kind in the world,
was formally opened, last week, in
the presence of distinguished Off
Gals of the nation, and members of
the medical profession from many
parts of the country. There was
no lavish attempt at display of
decorations or flowers, but the GER
emonies were none the less impress
i've. The interior of the central
building had been plainly decorated
with the national colors, aud ever
green twined about the pillars. In
the rotunda stood the coat of-arms
Of Maryland. These, with a few
cut flowers, completed the decora-
tons. Francis T. King, president
of the board of trustees, made the
opening address. In the course Of
his remarks he said "Johns Hop
kins did not leave a hospital. What
he did leave was a complicated
piece of machinery i'll the form of
various investments capable of
evolving the power required to con-
struct and maintain hospital.
When / tell you that these seven
teen buildings have been construct
ed and furnished and these fourteen
acres inclosed and beautlfied as you
see not only without taking a dol
lar from the principal, but with an
actual increase of the endowment
by judicious investments by the
sum Of $4,000, l think it may be
justly claimed that the trustees
have not failed in this part of their
duty. You shall receive into this
hospital Johns Hopkins said, the
INDECENT sick of this city (Balti-
more) and its environs without re-
gard to sex, age or color, who may
require surgical or medical treat
ment, and the poor of this city and
state, of all races, who are stricken
down by any casualty" Professor
Daniel c. Gilman, president of the
Johns Hopkins University, made
an eloquent address in the course
of which he said: Thirteen years
ago, during the centennial celebra-
tons of Independence Day, the
university founded by Johns Hop
kins began its work and now, as
we commemorate complete CEN
fury of constitutional life, the hos
pital, gift of the same doner, throws
open it's doors. These buildings
are henceforth consecrated to the
ministry of mercy and the restora-
ton of life. That large minded cit
izen of Maryland found two words
adequate to his great ideas. 'Univer-
sity' and hospital were his chosen
terms, and he linked them together
with this significant phrase: Bear
constantly in mind that it is ny
wish and purpose that the hos
pital shall ultimately form part
of the medical school of that uni
versity for which / have made am
pie provision by my will

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.
AS Secretary Rusk sat at his
desk, Monday afternoon, his gaze
fell upon the workmen engaged in
moving the first crop of grass on
the grounds of the Agricultural
Department. Something in their
movements did not satisfy his eye,
and turning to Chief Clerk Rock
wood, he said: SD like to 60 out
