the word would be remembered only
by antiquarians. Plenty of the people

We do not need any law to authorize
the amputation until after everybody

Lots Of laws are made that way. The
best of them are thus made.
We shall not urge people to cut of

body who does SO will save a breath.

4 Good Dog Story.

knew Il dog In Ireland, a large re.
triever, which had been taught always
to bring his own tin dish In his mouth
to be filled ut the late dinner. For some
reason his master wished to make a
change. and to feed him twice a day
instead OF once, to which he had always
been accustomed. The dog resented
this. and when told to bring his dish,
refused. and 1t could nowhere be found,
so his master spoke angrily to him, and
ordered him TO bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepish eX-
preston he went down the length OF
the garden and began scratching up the
soil where he had buried the bowl deep
down, to avoid having to bring It at an
hour Of which he did not approve.

THE RETIRING BOARD OF WATTS
HOSPITAL.

The time for which the Board of
Lady Visitors of the Watts Hospital
was appointed has expired and IN re-
firing they make a most satisfactory
report. Here it is:
To the President and Board OF Irus-
tees of the Watts Hospital.
Gentlemen:-Th Board of Lady
Visitors appointed by your board
twelve months ago herewith submit to
your honorable body report OF their
work since the Hospital opened ten
months ago.
The board has with marked unanim-
ity and enthusiasm iabored earnestly
to promote the interest and success OF
the hospital, which it deems one Of the
noblcst institutions in our progressive
city. Every duty has been one of love
and pleasure for the great and emo
bling cause. Having honored us with
the appointment on this Board of Nisi-
tors we have endeavored to perform
every duty faithfully and with no less
interest than you yourselves feel in
the work Our feeble efforts are now
laid before you.
Tie board has held ten regular meet
ings, one each month, and two called
meetings. At each meeting two MEM
bers of the board were appointed to
visit the hospital for a month, making
at least one visit a week. The reports
of these visitors have been satisfactory
and encouraging. These visits devel-
OPP the fact that the apartments are
always kept in excellent order and
Scrupulously clean. The attention
shown patients, in our opinion, is all
that could be desired
Many useful articles to be used in
the. wards and culinary department
have been contributed by the ladies
during each month. Their most sue
cessful effort, however, was the sccur-
ing of one hundred and eighteen 118)
articles of apparel from friends. which
were VERY much needed in the free
wards. such az were necessary for both
made and female patients. The wards
are now very well supplied with all
garments that are required for sick
persons and convaleseents.
: At the suggestion of Miss McNuity,
the matron, sitting room has been
fitted up in the front hall on the see
ond floor of the main building for the
nurses. 4 committee of ladies had
charge of the furnishing of this room
Everything required was contributed
by the business men of our city, CON
sisting OF nineteen pieces of furniture
and other articles.
Through the request of the Board of
Visitors, many donations of practi-
cal nature were sent to the hospital on
Thanksgiving day.
During the existence of this board
$119.75 has been raised by concerts
given under the auspices of the ladies'
$3.50 was contributed by lady, MAX
ing the amount $12125, which was
turned over to the treasurer OF your
board, to be used in whatever way you
deem best.
In retiring, we do so with the hope
that the Watts Hospital may grow
stronger as the years go by, and live
through the ages to come blessing
10 humanity and the day and genera
ton of its founder.
Respectfully submitted.

w. w. AUSTIN SUICIDES.

The news flashed over Durham yes
terday morning about o'clock that
w. w. Austin, one of the police force,
had taken his own life. Upon inquiry
it was found to be true. The sad oc-
currence took place about TAB a. IN. at
his residence on South street, in the
presence of his wife. For eighteen
months he has held the position of pO-
liceman, and was faithful in the dis
charge of all the duties dcVOlying up
on him. lie was ever prompt to re-
spoud to the official demands upon
him. and in his family relations he was
kind, consideratc and induigent hus-
band and father.
1t had been noticed for about three
weeks that he was not himself, and at
times was very Respondent. TO he in
innate friends he often spoke OF his
struggle to support his family, having
a wife and six small children, five girls
and one boy. one Of the little girls be
ing an Invalid, Recently he had been
drinking some, but not to excess, and
it was thought too that he was using
opiatcs in some form. After getting
up Yesterday morning he began to tell
his wife what to do with his children,
and left q message for his mother at
the Same time handling his pistol in
rather careless manner. This alarmed
his wife, and she succeeded in taking
his pistol from him, placing it ON the
mantle III her room. Soon he came in,
inQuiring for it, took il from the man
tie and started to an adjoining room,
his wife following and endeay0ring to
again get possession OF the pistol.
Upon reaching about the center OF the
room, his wife still near him, he placed
the muzzle of the pistol to his head,
inst in front Of the right ear. and fired,
the ball passing entirely through the
head and coming out just over the left
ear. As he shot, his wife fled and gave
the alarm. DR.. n. NJ. Johnson, who
lives a short distance away, on the
same street, was there in few min
utes, in time to see him breathe his
last. lie lived perhaps eight minutes
after the shot was fired, but never
spoke, though it is said when the first
persons reached the room he was en-
deavoring to get up.
Bill Austin, as he was known among
friends. was clever, kind-hearted and
companionable. and his sad death has
brought grief to many households.
His remains will be laid to rest in the
City Cemetery to-day.
