HIS TIP WAS DANGEROUS.
Nearly Cost a Limb and Perhaps a
Life, but Was Discovered in Time.

FROM the New ] OK Herald
In many Of the hospitals here the wards
are 50 crowded and the applicants for
treatment so numerous that the physicians
by tacit agreement decline to receive
cases Of long standing or Of such a ma
ture that the patient. il admitted, may be
expected to occupy a bed for a long time.
There IS a hospital superintendent IN
New YORK to-day who when ne was a
hospital clerk, advised an applicant TO lie
about the history of his case. ana so
got him admitted. When he thinks OF his
Kindness and what followed il ne shud-
ders at the recollection.

from tubercular knee. He had been
disabled for three years. The clerk knew
that a case Of three years standing would

said. Tell them your knee was all right
until Few days ago. Then they'll ac-
cept you. Once in you'll be all right
The patient followed the advice ana
was admitted. But he dldn stop at that.
When the surgeons examined his knee
he astOuished them by saying that II had
been well until a few days before. They
thought il strange and cross-examined
him. He was firm.
That made all the difference in the
world. Had he told them that the limb
had been affected three years, they woulc
have treated it in the ordinary way.
But heroic measures were necessary if
what he told them was true, for then it
seemed that the case was one Of cancer
Gus growth and that amputation at the
hip joint was necessary. This operation
Is often fatal.
The patient heard with frmness their
decision TO amputate. The date for the
operation was set. On the day before it
was 70 be performed the kind-hearted clerk
went into the ward to ask how the pa
tent was getting along.
My operation is set down for to-mor-
row." the man said.
Operation said the clerk In surprise:
what kind of an Operation?"
"Amputation at the hip. / may live
through it. It's better to have it over
anyway"
Heavens, manr' exclaimed the clerk.

them the truth after you found you had

The clerk ran to the house surgeon in
made haste and confessed that he had
inspired the false history Of the case
There was consultation Of surgeons The
operation has not taken place yet
Better still. the patient walks on two
good legs to-day. The clerk is superin-
tendent. But when he thinks of what
would have happened if he had postponed
for day his friendly call upon the man
with the bad leg, he shudders.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct 19-The committee
named by Gen. Gordon as commander
in-chief of the United Confederate Veter-
ans, to erect the confederate memorial
museum under the plan Of Charles Broad
way Rouss of New York, who has given
100000 to the undertaking, met here to-
day and organized for the work. The en-
tire committee, which is composed of the
following confederate soldiers, was pres
ent: Gen. Mcintyre of Mississippi, Gen.
johnson of Alabama, Gen. J. Il. Corey OF
Virginia, Gen. Chalaron OF Louisiana,
Capt B. II. league of South Carolina.
Maj. w. r. Garrett of Tennessee, Col.

Gen. Rosser and Col Dickinson of New
York, representing Mr.. Rouss. whose GER
titled check for 100000 they presented to
the committee met with the committee.
The check is now on deposit in the Neal
Loan and Banking Company's vault sub
ject to their order as soon as work on
the memorial is ready to begin.
Organization for the work was effected
to-day by the selection OF Capt j. H.
Carter as chairman, and Howard Will
Jams as secretary of the committee, to
serve until the memorial is completed and
the committee discharged under the terms
of the gift by Mr.. Rouss, who is many
times a millionaire, the committee is to
raise another 100000 to add to the check
presented to-day and the whole is to be
used in constructing and maintaining a
handsome memorial to the soldiers of the
confederacy.
Nashville, Richmond, New Orleans and
Atlanta want the memorial. The city
council of Nashville and a large delegation
OF citizens appeared before the committee
to-day to present their claims. Richmond
and New Orleans were also represented
by delegations, but oddly enough the com
m1ttee appointed to present Atlanta s
claims forgot the appointment and out
of courtesy to Mr.. Villains, the member
from this state, an adjournment was taken
until Monday, when Atlanta will be heard
from. Atlanta's plan is to put the sol
dlers home property into the memorial
The home property will be sold under
order OF court shortly and 1t is thought
that 100000 of the 100000 to be raised can
be gotten in this way. Either Nashville
or Atlanta will probably be chosen for the
memorial. unless the choice is put into
the hands of the confederate veterans al
their next annual encampment.

The Plant System Furnishing the
Rails for the Road.


Waycross, Ca, oct. 19-word was re-
ceived to-day from Nichols Ca, that the
Air Line extention to Hazlehurst on the
Southern railway is being built.
The Information is that the rails are
being furnished by the Plant system. 1t
was the impression a month ago, when
the Air Line received the first shipment
of rails, that a road would be built from
Nichols to a saW-mil seven miles away,
but 1t seems to have been a mistake.
The missing link between Waycross and
Hazlehurst is only eleven miles. The Bea-
