AN IMPUDENT BROOD
OF Chickens Ravages the Garden Of an
Aged Lady.

Mrs. Hester Ross of Fruitland is an
aged lady Of very good reputation, but
somewhat irascible temper. The Grants,
who are her neighbors, have chickens,
and when these perambulating nuis-
ances got among the garden truck of
Mrs. Ross she became very angry. The
Grant family's chickens were the bane
of her existence, and on Wednesday
when they were again caught working
devastat ton in the garden Mrs. Ross
indulged in volley of expletives as en-
phatic as they were impolite. Her vo-
cabulary in this direction Is said to have
been both varied and unique. and the
feelings of the Grants were much out
ragged. While they, apparently. did not
object to their chickens getting fat at
their neighbors' expense, their soul re-
volted at cuss- words. A visit was there
fore made to the township court and :
complaint sworn out charging Mrs. re-,
with disturbing the peace of Evelyn
Grant
Justice Young set December Sth for
time of trial. and let Mrs. Ross go on her
own recognizance.

This Evening-A Great Work

Prof j. W. Kelchner, who has been
touring the coast lecturing and eXhib-
iting a beautiful model of the Taber-
nacle of Israel. is in the city to exhibit
at Simpson tabernacle. Owing to the
rain last night the lecture was post
poned and will now be given tonight and
Saturday night, including afternoon
matinee at 1880 o'clock. The Taberna-
Gle of Israel. as exhibited. is wonder
flu. piece of work. consisting of 100
pieces, and cost years of study and labor
with an outlay of $4,000 and it is safe
to say it is the handsomest and most
expensive thing of its kind in existence.
Behind the model is an oil painting
thirty-two feet long and twelve feet
high of Mt. Sinai. at whose base is out
spread the encampment of $4,000 Is
raelites.
The lecturer is thoroughly familiar
with his subject and is authority upon
things pertaining to the tabernacle. He
also possesses, to a marked degree, the
power of pleasing and entertaining his
audiences.

HELPS TO PAf EXPENSES
Fee System Suggested for Dis
pensaries and Hospitals.
WORKS WELL ELSEWHERE
Health Officer woodward Believes
Many Persons Would Be Willing TO
Pay for Services Now Rendered
without Charge-Hours Should BE
Designated for Pay Patients.

Commenting upon the discussion in Con-
gress OF the appropriations for charities,
and as a suggestion growing out OF it,
Health Officer Woodward yesterday said
TO TheTimes thatone esolutionof partofthe
problem, as affecting the dispensaries at
least, might he TO establish system of
light fees for services rendered persons
who do not always find il possible to consult
a physician ia cases of illness.
DR.. woodward was particular to state
that he was not passing upon the matters
brought to the attenfion or Congress, and
that his suggestion was merely the result
of the thoughts brought out by the criticisms
that had been published Of the general
system.
1t is his idea that very many persons
obtain relief at the edispensariesand hospitals
through charity, who could afford to pay
a small fee for the service. These persons
he believes, will be glad of the permission,
through feeling of independence, TO COM
pensate the institution, at least for the
medicines dispensed and in order to increase
that sense of independence he thought il
would be good idea TO have regular hours
set apart for the reception OF pay patients.
FEES NEED NOT BE LARGE.
The fee. he said, need not be large-not to
exceed twenty-five cents for each supply
OF medicine, TO. be governed, however, by
circumstancesEnor need it be entirely
obligatory TO have it paid Immediately
That rule, be thinks, could also be made TO
fit the circumstances. Ten cents Will often
meet the expense, and that sum might suf.
flee, and render a second application un
necessary.
One great reason for the multiplication
or cases at the dispensaries and free wards
in hospitals is believed to be the in
ability of persons TO pay regular ply.
The morning times., 1896-02-07

sician for prescription, and drug store
for the medicines prescribed, while, as a
matter of fact, many persons could afford
and would prefer to pay 20 cents, or even
80 cents, and escape the classification as a
pauper.
DR.. Woodward named several instltu-
tions where the system had been adopted,
and found to be permanent source OF
revenue, sufficient TO meet the entire drug
expense Of the >esta blishments. The Johns
Hopkins Dispensary, in Baltimore, has had
the plan in operation for a number OF
years with pronounced success.
HOURS FOR THEIR RECEPTION.
The dedication Of certain hours each morn
ing and evening for the pay patients to
call, would, he said, be public notice
that those whose attendance within those
hours were patrons and persons need not
object 10 be seen going and coming from
the institution. In addition, 1T would
prevent contact between this better ele-
lnent and those who, from absolute neces-
sity, or otherwise are not a1way VS. pleasant
objects to contemplate. These last, OF
course, are the hapless mendicants, who
rarely strive for the amelIoratien of their
own condition.
One institution named by Dr. Wood
ward charged often but centsifor medi-
cines, rarely more than 10 cents, and the
| revenues thus derived almost paid for the
| medicines furnished. Tickets were issued,
giving ndme and number, for Identified
| ton. If lost, an extra charge of B cents
was made for duplicate. This saved the
trouble of research, the holder being care
full not to lose il, and its presentation sery-
ing in lieu OF prescription label.
The patrons of this institution do not
always pay cash. Bills amounting TO 80
cents are sometimes made, and it seldom
happens that the establishment suffers a
loss from this source. Persons come in and
pay in installnents when unable to CO
better.

JUST "A SAMPLE.

William G. Whitney, one Of the high
toned Of the gold standard men, insists
that there must be a campaign of edu,
cation in order that the people may be
taught the truths regarding the financial
| issue. Mr.. Whitney need not be alarmed,
the financial issue will be discussed from
every stump in the country by able mon
and by that time the people will be we'll
posted. In the meantime the old estab
jlsh9d Commercial Bulletin Of Boston
feels that its readers need to be educated
and by way of enlightening them, it re-
marks III its editorial column: ave are be.
ginning to get an explanation Of the silver
craze in the west. Some people believe
that free silver means what it says, and
that they would receive so many silver
dollars free on tho passage of the law
Others take the view that sixteen to one
means that they will be able to exchange
one gold dollar for sixteen silver ones
when the triumph of the white metal is
assured"
This is quoted as fair sample of the
manner in which the goldbug press is
conducting the campaign. 1t misses nc
opportunity to question the motives,
insult the intelligence and dcride the in
tegri'y of the west. When speaking Of
us, ridiCule, coarse and wauton, takes
the place of argument, and adiect,vea

that in the west the financial question
is understood by all classes, aud the
