BALTIMORE. Nd. May 1.-The Johns
hopkins Hospital al Monument street ana
Broadway was formally opened this
morning. II Is one Of the fine and most
complete institutions In the world, ems
brac!ng seventeen buildings. which coveF
four acres Of ground, and surrounded BY
ten acres moro Of beautiful grounds,
which will afford healthful exercise g the
patients. Its construction was begun
more than ten years ago. and the total
cost was S2nD0o). To the munihceace
OF one man Baltimore owes this great IN.
stitution the late Johns Hopkins.
1t was he who also founded
and provided for the Johns Hopkins
University. over 1900 invitations 10 al.
tend the ceremonies were sent to persons
in various parts OF the United States ex-
elusive of those issued 10 Baitimoreans.
No one was admitted without card ot
invitation. President King said that
Johns Hopkins. in founding his two
great trusts. the University aud the Hos
pital, each with an endowment OF nearly
three and half millions u dol.
lars, was not actuated Dy a wish 10
build a monument 10 his own memory.
His motives were higher and nobler. he
remembered thar in reply 70 a question
a. 10 why he had never made a will. Mr..
Hopkins said that he looked upon his
wealth a. a gift for which he was not ac-
countable: brit which was given 10 him for
purpose, anl he did not believe he would
die before ii was revealed 10 him how hs
should dispose OF il. This wealth. hs
said. lis my stewardship"
One of the most interesting parts OF
Mr.. Kings address was quotation from
letter written by Johus Hopkins 70 his
trustee which clearly sets forth in few
words the good hs proposed 20 accom-
piish. II j. a. follows: 'You shall re-
ceive into the hospital the INDECENT sicl
OF this city aud its enyirons. without re-
gard 10 sex, age or color. who may re-
quire surgical or medical treatment. and
the poor of this city aud State, ol al
races, who are stricken down by all
casualty"

His name is dear &c every patriot
He was a good man.
Cesar won his laurels. Scipio was a

and first in the hearts Of his country

Gently postmasters all over the coun-

tiers from Philadelphia clothing firm
which goes by the name OF Wanna

tor General was called 10 the matter
he pooh-poohcd It rs ridiculous ut
tempt TO connect his administration OF
tho Post-Oflicc Department with the
business management Of firm with
which he disclaimed all CONNECTION.
saying that he had separated from the
concern four years ago, and that no
had simply left his name with it as an
evidence Of good will. It so happens
that Mr.. Wanamaker has two part

that John Is interested in WanamaiSer

William Wanamaker declares that
John is interested only as creditor;
while John himself declares that he
has had no interest in or connection

would strike any ordinary court and

is right and which is wrong. But we
DO know that Mr.. Wanamaker got his

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Oct. 23.-Ths main
cause of the trouble that has existed for
some time between the members of District
Assembly No 149, green glass blowers Of
the Knights of Labor, and their employers
leaked out this afternoon at a meeting Of
the executive board Of the assembly, and
it proved to be that John Coffee,
master workman of the assembly, had been
derelict in his duty The manufacturers
complained that Coffee stood between them
and their workmen in settlement OF their
troubles, and the meeting was held very
quietly by the executive board on Monday
and the charges were investigated. The re-
suit was that Coffee was suspended from the
organization permanently.

CHURCH RIOT OF THE POLES.
The Parsonage at Plymouth Turned
Into an Arsenal

AAtO OIL - SO1eAA
WILEsBARRE, PA, Oct. 23.-The excite
ment to-day at Plymouth over the church
riot continues at fever heat. All last night
crowds were gathered in the vicinity of the
disputed buildings. At late hour Detect
ives Holland and Roberts, armed with legal
writs, applied at the parsonage for admit
tance. Their request was refused with
threats of violence If they attempted forci-
BILE entry This morning the parties in the
building signaled to them, and on drawing
near the detectives were told that they
might enter. They were escorted through
the building, and were shown a perfect
arsenal of guns and pistols in the hands of
six desperate looking Polanders. The
officers were then taken to the door, and in
formed that the besieged party meant to
hold possession at all hazards.
NO ATTEMPT TO ENTER
The detectives were convinced that they
could get forcible possession only by blood
shed and possible loss OF life. They there
fore gave up the attempt for the present,
and are contenting themselves with keep
ihg a watch upon the premises. The
Polanders arrested for taking part in yester-
davis fracas were given a hearing to-day
before Burgess Martin, on a charge of
assaulting police officer in the discharge
of his duty Martin Wilkes, the leader
was fined $2S, and three others were fined
$40 each. M rtin Wilkes was re-arrested
and held in 81 900 bail on a charge OF
assault on the assistant chief of police with
intent to kill Tomorrow morning the
high sheriff of this county, who has beer
called upon, will go to the scene of the
trouble with picked posse of men anc
endeavor to gain possession of the building
in dispute.
