Tie Hospital Fund.
GRATIFYING INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT
SUBSCRIBED.

INCREASE IN THE AAooNA
SUBSCRIBED.
The second report made by the members
of the Kings Daughters on Saturday last
showed that 81 ,070 had been subscribed TO
the establishment of a hospital-nearly $4oo
more than had been subscribed at the first
return.
The subscription lists will not be with
drawn from circulation until a sufficient
amount is realized with which to start this
humane enterprise Mrs. Fl. B. Wilson OF
the Kings Daughters, who has been solicit
ed to take charge OF the movement, has
determined to give all of our citizens an OPP
portunity to help, in this much needed re-
fuge for the wounded and sick.
We do not propose-it ought net to be
necessary-to harrow the public sympa-
thy with painful variations to impress the
merits of the work on our people. But we
may say this much. Last week five men
whose walks life do not throw them much
in the way of sickness OIL suffering OF any
sort, were discussing the hospital work. In
their limited experience, the five knew OF
cases where the absence of hospital mad
contributed to intense suffering, and
one where both the physician and friends
of the patient believed that absence OF
proper nursing sent the sick man to the
cemetery One Of the gentlemen related
the last moments of dying man whose
family had been sent for to come to Staun-
ton to take their last farewell. They found
him in small room, on hot summer day,
with no convenience, with no nurse, and his
only visitor being the doctor, who had left
other patients in order to get there every
| few hours. Two of the family that came
were wife and little four-year-old daugh-
| ter. AS the latter was lifted to the side OF
the bed, the poor fellow who had made nc
complaint, cast a faint apologize glance
around the bare room and taking the little
ones hand said family: sTaint like Papa 5
home, darling" The poor wife was busy
after woman's fashion in putting the for
lorn looking place to rights. But 1t was
hardly necessary, for six hours afterwards
sPapa's home'' was in another and we
hope brighter country, with that Friend
who once said that whatsoever giveth one
of these little ones a cup Of cold water II
nv name hath done it unto me-" Let uE
all try and remember these words.
