Annual Report Of DIR. Purvfs, the suxgssn

Freedman's Hospital, in his annual report to
the Secretary Of the Interior states that the

NEW BUILDINGS NEEDED.
Dr.. Purvis urges that the present hospital
buildings, which are of frame, be replaced With
brick structures. He recommends that Con-
gress be asked for money to erect . two-xnd-a-
nalf-story building, to be used as .
female ward. He considers il best to
ask for one building at time. As to the
propriety Of the government erecting buildings
on ground which il does not own, but leases
from Howard University, he saws that it has
been done before and can be done now.
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BUY THE GROUND.
He has recommended. he states, in previous
reports that the government purchase the en-
tire property. He adds that he would renew
this recommendation if it were not for the fact
that the medical department Of Howard
University might be placed in jeopardy.
Under the present conditions the hospital
furnishes the clinical advantages to the
students in the medical department Of the
university. which, he adds, owing to "the
caste prejudice governing other Kindred in
stltutions of the District, are denied TO o large
percentage of her students''

He was the contemporary of five reigning
sovereigns. with every one OF whom he
exercised strong influence. His counsels
were born of an excellent judgment, and he
had rare tact in impressing others with his

ALONG THE RAIL.
Railroad Commissioners Still at
Work on the Lumber Case.

The case Of the Santa Cruz Lumber Com
pany VS.. the Southern Pacific is dragging
wearily along before the Railroad Commis-
sion. The proceedings we're opened ye5ter-
day with the testimony Of Mr.. Reed, for
mer witness, who practically reviewed the
story told on the previous day. The Santa
Clara Valley Lumber Exchange, he said,
was formed for the purpose of protecting
the local dealers. Prior to the formation of
this combine there was no money in the
lumber business, on account of the constant
cutting Of prices.
G. A. Richard of the Los Gatos Lumber
Company testified for the defense and stated
that he had been in the lumber business
since 1889. Seventy-ive per cent OF the
lumber comes from the north and the rest
from the Boulder Greek district His COM
pany had been invited to join the Santa
Clara Lumber Exchange. but the applica-
tion for admission was denied. The matter
was then put in the hands of Mr.. Chase,
another member, and he also made an at
tempt for the company. OF course 1t failed
and since that time the witness has not
been able to obtain any lumber from the
Santa Cruz companies, but has been COM
PEELED to ship from the north.
E. G. Williams, a Mendocino lumber mau,
was called and testified that the existing
condition of the lumber trade Is dull, due Of
course to over production. Never within
his memory have prices been so low as at
present. Freight rates from Mendocino by
water are So and from Humboldt 81 thou
sand. The cost of landing lumber In San
Francisco is about S15 per thousand.
Henry Wetherbee, another witness. stated
that the lumber business is at present de-
moralized. The examination will be re-
sumed tomorrow morning.
Vipa- praaidant Cropker nf the Snuthern
Pacific has issued a circular forbidding the
clerks in the employ Of the company to bor-
row money at usurious rates of interest. The
notice concludes as follows:
This In all cases becomes burden to the bor-
rover, In many cases leading 10 irretrievable
bondage. 1t produces sense OF constant care,
accompanied by such mental distress as 10 unit
one TO properly attend to his daily duties.

To Help the Show.

Thomas II. Thompson, Secretary of the
California Worlds Fair Commission, has
devised scheme of honorary membership
which will, he thinks. enlist the active CO.
operation of large part of the population
Of the State. The preliminary printing
necessary to carry out his plan is now under
way. 1t Is calculated that thousands of per-
sons will, by his plan, be personally invited
by name to visit the California headquar-
ters, and that large share of them will
view the exhibits in which they are made to
feel that they have an honorary interest at
least. Another immediate result will be
to largely stimulate the contributors of
funds locally for the great show.

but he declared there never was time in
his life when he had such an insane desire

him as on this occasion.
A PROCESSION OF APPLICANTS.
Mr.. Love says there has been a regular
procession of such applicants into the Dis
trict Attorneys Office for the last few days,
and to him 1t is simply shocking. lie never
before realized how barren of the parental
instincts many parents are, and is completely
at loss to measure a mothers heart who can
not only consent but connive to have her
offspring thrown into such a yertable
mael strom of destruction.
He has tried to explain to them all that
public refOrmatory is not like Sunday
school where young children are reared In
a peaceful and holy atmosphere, but more
nearly public rendezvous for young incor-
rigbles, and that there could be no surer
and speedier destruction for any child than
TO house him in such place. Out Of the
long train of applicants, Mr.. Love says he
has found one child, a sixteen-year- old girl,
determined to go the bad, whom he thought
fit subject for the reformatory.

HOLDING THE STEAMER.
Owing to the late arrival of the Mariposa
with the through mail from Australia 1t was
found that it would reach New York about
one hour too late to overtake the Atlantic
mail steamer Fuerst Bismarck, and would
have to lay over In New York nearly three
days for the next steamer. A. w. Myers,
the general agent Of the Hamburg American
Packet Company in this city, telegraphed
to New York, stating the circumstances Of
the case, and was informed that the Bis
marck would lay over two hours for the ar
rival of the mail train, thus rushing the
English mail through on time.

cruiser Charleston reached that port on
