Every piece of machinery brings with

only method which can be adopted in our

ness. If treatment at hospital be abso-
utely necessary, then the patient must be
removed to Portland, or some other city,

A CITY HOSPITAL.
Good Reasons Why City of
Augusta Should Have One.
Citizens Will Get Good Results by
Uniting Forces to This End.
Advantages Which All Kennebec County Would
Receive from It,

The talk about city hospital, which
has been lately revived, has awakened
great deal of interest, and, were the times
Il little easier, there is no doubt that
building would be erected by popular
subscription in the near future. prom
inent citizen was interviewed, Monday,
by a Journal reporter on this subject.
Augusta" he said, "has a way of get
ting there" without much flourish or
parade; and, when the minds of the
citizens arc made up that any one partic-
ular thing is wanted, 1t will be noticed
that it is only question of time when
the end is attained
Very often, an idea is put forth, " hich
awakens hut little interest and which
seems chimerical Oh first presentation.
Later, it assumes definite shape and then
action is taken and the undertaking sue
cessfully carried through.
1.-The soldiers monument, the Masonic
Temple, the city hall and the Lithgow
library are all examples of the quiet I'M
dcmonstrative way in which the public
works of the town are carried through
with great success and invariably giving
to the citizens something to take pride in.
Now as to a city hospital. There is
in the minds of many people, prejudice
against hospitals, Maybe the most of US
really instinctively long for home when
ill. 1t is part of that instructive yearning
which we so often sec. in those i'll unto
death to reach home to die. The idea is
that kindlier hands treat US in our own
homes.
"But, throwing the sentimental aside
and coming to the requirements Of
modern life, no person who has investi-

Fcrfy-Etgkth Anniversary OF the
Rochester Rappin4s Observed.
The forty-eighth anniversary of the
founding of spiritaalism was observed yes
terday at Metzcrott Hall, under the aus
pices OF the Washington branch of the Ma
t:onal Association Of Spiritualists.
The headquarters of-the organization be-
ing in this city, 1t was intended that the
celebration should be in keeping with those
of other national events which are observed
here. consequently three meetings were ar
ranged for-l1 am, 2 pm. and pm. The
two early meetings were not as largely at
tended as was expected, but at night the
large hall was crowded.
The anniversary or2tion was delivered at
the afternoon meeting BY Rev. Mr. Wigx:n
OF Salem, Mass, a former Baptist minister.
In his remarks the speaker said that since
the appearance of the Fox sisters In 1913.
the cause OF spirttualfsm has made wonder

has, he said, "becn misunderstood Its OBJ

"STONE OF SCONE."
The Enterprising Schoolboy Who slept In
the Coronation Chair.

The Enterprising Schoolboy Who slept In
the Coronation Chair.
1t is a long walk from the dining
room of the Westminster school TO the
coronation chair, which stands behind
the old stone screen just back Of the
altar in the abbey, but there is an in
teresting Connection between the two.
This chair, as is well known, is rude,
heavy oak chair, much worn by time.
1t contains the "StOne of Scone" and
was made by the order Of Edward l in
1897, and every English sovereign since
then has sat in it to be crowned.
A stout railing in front of the chair
restraints the crowd of visitors from
coming near, but if they were allowed
to examine it as closely as l was for
tunate enough to do they would find
cut boldly into the solid oak seat in
such sprawling letters as the school
boys knife makes upon his desk, Up.
Abbott slept in this chair Jan 4, 1901"
p. Abbott, it seems, was Westminster
schoolboy, and tradition, which there
is every reason to believe is true, tells
that he made wager with school
mate that he dare stay in the abbey all
night alone.
In order to win his wager he hid in
some corner of the old building until
the doors were locked for the night and
thus was left alone there. Fearing,
however, that when morning came the
boy with whom he had made the bet
would disbelieve his statement that he
had won it, he determined to have
some proof Of the fact, and so spent the
hours of the early morning in carving
on the coronation chair the sentence
which, even now, nearly a century aft
er, bears witness for him. 1t is disap'
pointing that the tradition does not
record just what form and amount of
punishment was visited upon the lad
for his escapade, and that history does
not tell us of his later years. wonder
whether the courage and grit which
this deed manifested foretold an ener-
getic, successful life or was dissipated
in mere bravado. Max Bennett Thrash.

Especial Correspondence


CHARLoTTETowN, P. E. l., Sept. 10.
This little town is cut off from the
world in an aggravating way. The coast
of Nova Scotia is in plain view along
most of the southern coast of Prince Ed
ward Island, but the transfer by boat
from Pictou takes three hours, so it is
almost as long a journey from Halifax
to Charlottetown as from Halifax to
Sidney, twice as far away. This fact
and the utter absence of any picturesque
feature on the island would make Char
lottetown place unknown to any but
commercial travellers or insurance agents
if it were not that Boston steamship
line has made this place its terminus.
Once a week the big ship from Boston,
which has stopped at Halifax and
Hawkesbury en- route, comes to her
wharf at Charlottetown and discharges
a shipload of passengers. They are
chiefly from Boston and interior Massa-
chusetts. Some of them are from New
York and Philadelphia and even cities
of the west. All have come for the sail.
They don't care fig for Charlottetown.
The chance to spend six days on the
ocean with opportunities at several in
change draws from 80 to 200 people
from Boston every week. Many would
much rather stick to their pleasant
berths aboard ship when they reach
their destination, but most of the pas
sengers go ashore for the night. So
Thursday nights are gala occasions i II
Charlottetown, and the greater part of
the population gathers at the wharf.
The people are ranged in tiers on bank
that looks down on the landing, and
they fight for position near the entrance
to the shed through which the travellers
must pass. What satisfaction this crowd
gathers from gaping uncomfortably in
the semidarkness at the string of COM
monplace men and women, satchel
laden, filing out of the shed is compre-
hensible, think, to none but a Char
lottetown mind. That there must be
some satisfaction is plain from the fact
that the crowd is as great at the end of
the season as it is at the beginning.
They have primitive ways of run
ming hotel in this country. When you
register, the clerk assigns you to a room
and waves you toward the stairway.
You climb three flights of stairs and
find your way along the hall to the
room. The door stands Hospitality open.
The key is in the lock. This at least is
an improvement ON Halifax, where the
keys. having no tags attached, are car
ried off by the guests, leaving the next
occupant of a room no protection but a
chair braoed against his door.
Charlottetown surrounds Queens
