The HOSPITAL. MANAGEMENT

A joint meeting of the board of health
the physicians of the city, the hospita
trustees and the council hospital com
mittee was held Friday night at the city.
hall, and action was taken in regard To
the management of the new Tourtellotte
hospital. 1t was decided not to employ
Sisters as nurses at present. Mr.. and
Mrs. K. l.. Rosebrook were elected to
have charge OF the hospital, the latter to
act as matron. They will take up their
residence there, and besides being fur
nlshed all supplies, heating, lights. etc..
will together receive $40 month as
compensation. They are empowered to
employ what nurses may be necessary.
If this plan succeeds after sufficient
trial, the arrangement will be made per-
manent. Ii not, it is likely that several
Sisters will be employed as nurses. Sew
eral of those present, especially the doc
tors. urged that Sisters be employed at
once, on account of the great benefit to
be received from their trained services.
The hospital will be made ready to re-
ceive patients next week. The neces-
sary furnishing will be done at once.
The amount of charges for patients will
be settled upon later. The county is ex-
pected to pay for maintaining pauper
patients, who will also be attended by
the county physician, DR.. Andrews.
Other patients will pay for the privilege
of entering the hospital, and can have
any doctor they may ask for.
A physician, while speaking of the
matter, to-day stated that what this city |
most needs now is few trained nurses.
These could be very profitably secured
for hospital service, and when needed
in private families could do that work
Tor extra compensation. He stated that
he hospital would be good place to
rain nurses, as girls could go there and
IN agreeing to certain regulations be
aught the various necessary details of
he work. When they became compe-
ent nurses they could find ready en-
,loyment at large wages almost every
where. There are at present none in
he city, he said, that are capable of be-
ng of much assistance to physicians,
While very frequently their services are
lmost indispensable at bedsides in pri-
ate families.

STORIES DENIED.

Rev. C. H. Melby, who, since three
pastor of the Norwegian Baptist church
of this CITY, has concluded TO resign his
passionate, and also the one which he
held at st. Peter. His formal resigna-
ton is expected in few days. For the
past six weeks he has been taking va
cation, visiting brother and sister in
Salt Lake City, Utah. He has now deci-
ded to locate elsewhere, and thinks of
going to small town named Ehho, in
another state. HIS wife and family, of
two small children, are still in the city,
but expect to join him soon, If nothing
occurs.
For some little time stories have been
in circulation within the circle of the
church congregation which reflect more
or less severely upon the conduct of
Rev. Melby. There is woman in the
case, who IN this instance is handsome
young lady of twenty-five years, and
comes of respectable parents and has
been a member of the church. The
story goes that she and Rev. Melbv have
for quite awhile been on terms OF init.
mate friendship, il nothing more, and
their actions have even caused comment
from those outside the church. The
girl left the city at about the same time
that Rev. Melby left. The gossips have
1t that the two had arranged a plan for
elopement, which they successfully car
ried out. Another report is that the girl
became aware of the effect of their in
timacy and that both thought it best to
leave.
Mrs. Melby, who lives on N. Second
street, and is nice appearing lady states |
that these stories are not true, and de- |
plores the fact that they have gotten |
abroad. She says that she receives let |
ters from her husband once or twice a |
week, and that 30 far as she knows he is
still true to her. She desires to deny
the stories. Mr.. Melby's father is ia the
city, and has inquired into the matter.
The girls parents told him, 30 Mrs. Mel
by says, that their daughter is visiting a
cousin at Des Moines, Iowa. He asked
to see letter from her bearing that
postmark, but they claimed to have de-
stroyed all letters. There are several
connected with the case
which the gossips have interpreted as
proof of their stories, but which do not
seem to be necessarily so.
Rev. Melby Is q very pleasant, fine
looking gentleman, and is well educated.
Both he and the young lady mentioned
have heretofore borne excellent reputa-
lions. Their friends will be slow to be-
ieve the rumors that have gotten into
The girls father says that she wrote to
him from Des MONIES, a couple of weeks
.go, and said she was about to leave.
Since then he has heard nothing, and
iont know where she is, or whether she
olned Rev. Melby. He doesn't know
whether or not to credit the stories.

ieered and laughed at them and in some
cases even deprived them of their arms.

POTTER PALMER of Chicago is one of
the few landlords who refuses to allow
one in his service to receive tips. One
day as the millionaire hotel keeper was
driving on the Boulevard he was busted
by man driving a faster horse. Mr.
Palmer was astonished for his horse was
speedy AS the man passed Mr..
Palmer recognized him as porter in
his hotel The next day Mr.. Palmer met
the man and said TO him: John that is
pretty good horse you had ON the drive
yesterday. You passed me, and my horse
is a good one Where did you get your
horseT The porter, with a glow Of
pride, answered that his horse was his
own. Mr.. Palmer made no reply, but be-
gan an investigation He found that this
man was accumulating wealth on the
tips he received from guests Of the
Palmer House. He found that all his
employees were doing likewise, and he
at once issued the order that any man ia
bis service who received q tip was to be
discharged. You may see a waiter IN the
dining-room If you want 20, but 1t has to
