class of nurses occurs at the Homeopathic
hospital, 2446 Fourth avenue south, on Tues
day, 2 to p. m. One graduate goes to st.
Paul as superintendent of Dr. Bissel's pri-
vate hospital. Steps are to be taken at once
with view to charging the hospital, the
past year having demonstrated very forcibly
that the size of the present building is quite
inadequate to its needs. The plan under
consideration is to add wing to the north
end of the building, facing Fourth avenue,
and containing twenty rooms. Patientsa are
being successfully treated at the hospital
with Koch's lymph.

brings its own reward; yet there is al
ways danger that this economical
principle may, in the hands of certain
people, degenerate into mean
ness. Economy in the hand
ling of public funds does not
mean the refusal to spend money judi
clously for public improvements. A
dollar spent now may be worth $40 or
twice $40 spent ten years hence. The
man who refuses to spend the dollar
now. under those circumstances, is not
an economist-he is an obstructionist.
Some of the new city officials are falling
into the obstructive habit. Yet their
cases are not hopeless. The disposition
displayed by them is one common to
new officials. 1t will probably be worn
away as thei1 eyes are opened by fur
