A Suggestion.

A Suggestion.
Mr.. EDITOR: Among the various
investments in which our men of
wealth may dispose of some of the
surplus, which has so unexpectedly
zen into their hands from the pre-
sent rise in the price of sugar, atten-
ton may properly be called to one,
which would be an honora lie mem
Orial of some ones munifcence, and
a charity that will be increasingly
appreciated as the years roll by. Let
the Trustees of the Queens Hospital
have the disposal of fund, sufficient
not only to build a WOmen's Ward,
a cottage of six rooms, but also to
pay the salaries of two experienced
nurses, one for night duty, one for
day. They need not be members of
any sisterhOOd. There are many
young women in the States, who
have passed through a course of
training in hospitals, who would
come to the Islands for term of
years, and whose services would be
of incalculable value in relieving
much suffering for which there is
now no adequate or suitable PROV
sion. They would do much also for
the comfort of patients in other
wards, and for the general better
ment of our Hospital equipment.

New York Giving Il I'm.

Under the heading, "Citizens Losing Heart, "
the New York Commercial Advertiser says: 1.-THE
preliminary work Of the project is in such a
state of uncertainty that the citizens OF New
York are beginning to lose the courage they
had when the matter was first preached. The
various schemes that have been started to raise
money have not proved to be fruitful and there
Is grave doubt whether the site selected can
be obtained. prominent member OF the
finance committee said today that the finance
committee could do nothing until IL had some
basis 70 work on. He further said that there
was no certainty that the site selected could be
obtained and that 1t was impossible for the
finance committee to formulate any plan until
something was settled about the site. He said
that there was no way in which the financial
plan could be announced inside Of two weeks,
and. perhaps, IL would not b. announced even
at that time"

ALEXANDRIA.

The ELBcTRIc LIaHTs.-All the city electric
lights were in place and lighted last night. The
sixty lights serve all the purposes Of the ITO
street lamps, but some of these gas lamps con-
tinue to be lighted at the alternate crossings
between the electric lights in front of churches,
DC. The town il better lighted, especially on
the suburbs, than formerly, and it is said that
the cost will be much less. There is, however,
falling off in the illumination Of those alleys
formerly lighted by lamps at their entrances,
but now left in shadow. There is, too, some
complaint that the electric lights are extin-
guished at midnight Heretofore some of the
gas lights burned all night, and at dark hours
OF the winter mornings they were relighted to
enable the Alexandrians who work in Washing
ton to get the early trains. The plans Of the
light committee on this subject are not yet COM
pleted.
