HOSPITAL COMPLETED. DrS. purman and Martins Sanitarium Ready for
 Patients.
The Alhambra Is Now an Institution that Reflects Credit Upon
 the City.

The Alhanbra sanitarium Is now open and ready to receive patients The house throughout is as neat and clean as a pin with every comfort that one could ask for. It has been repafnted, repapered, 'replumbed and thoroughly cleansed from top ito bottom. There are twenty light, well ventilated and cool rooms, with electric light, electric bells and water in each The house is furnished in excellent style, rich Brus- seis and moquet carpets covering every floor, with the furniture of the finest and latest styles i'm antique oak and mahogany, and with the addition of beautiful portiers, fancy table cover ings, etc., it not only gives Ithe place an air of elegance, but a homelike appearance as we'll. The e[ectric bells in every room connecting with the matron's apartments are something that will be appreciated by all patients, as they can get attention any moment during the day or night. The bath room is a feature that is worthy of special mention. It is fitted up with all modern conveniences, a fine rolled top porcelain bath tub, with apparatus for furnishing hot and cold water with shower baths at a.l times. A beauHifuG dressing case with toilet ar tlicles of every description and a flush closet with all late improvements at tached
 One of the matters considered of most importance, however, by the man. agement, was the culinary department, as delicate and we'll prepared food is a part and parcel of successful treatment The dining room and kitchen are models of neatness, to say the least In fact, Drs. Purman and Martin spared no expense in fitting them up. The best range that could be bought with other adjuncts necessary for a complete kitchen, were secured and the dining room with its beautiful side board, expensive tableware and cut lery, has such a pleasing and bright look that it would bring an appetite to most amy invalid.
 Mrs. Susan MAndrews who has the reputation of being the most skillful and painstaking nurse in the south west. has been made matron of the house and will personally superintend the cooking as well as other details. Mrs. Andrews has been associated with some of the most noted physicians

MAD OTTO Is HEALTHY.

BERLIN, May 7.-The forty-eighth birthday of the mad king. Otto of Ba- varia, WAS officially celebrated by the court at Munich on Monday. The king is thinner and has become quiet and traetable, but is impressive to his sur roumdings. The physicians in attend ance on the king think he may live to an old age unless a blood vessel on the brain should suddenly burst. The idea to formally declare King Odto's reign closed and to crown Prince Luit- uold, the regent. as king of Bavaria, has again been abandoned on the ad- vice of the emperor and khe kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg.

throughout the country in the treat ment and care of patients. She is very kind and attentive.
 An institution of this kind is some thing that has been required in Phoe- nix for many years. It has been agi- tated and discussed pro and con by wealthy citizens until the subject be- came threadbare, but no one seemed willing to risk the capital necessary to make a success of such an enter prise. It is very evident and will be readily observed by any visitor that Drs. Martin and Purmnn have ex- pended large sum of money on this proposition and devoted much time and energy Ito the completion of the enter prise. They have gone in with a lib eral spirit and deserve success. One thing in particular thnt will materially aid them in their work is the fact that both stand at the top of he ladder in the medical profession. Dr. Purman is credited with being the best general practitioner in Arizona and without doubt has the largest practice in the territory, while the name of Dr! Ano.l Martin as an eye and ear specialist ii: a household word throughout the en- tire southwest.
 It is proposed from time to time tC add comforts that suggest themselves as homelike and to show every patiend that particular Interest is taken in hi: case.
 The Alhambra saniitarium is nc doubt the most desirable place to Hive in Phoenix, not only on account of the central location, but the surrounding cannot be surpassed. Beautiful shade trees are in profusion and the large porches make it a very enticing plac; tn l,esIt

DETROIT. May 7.-As the Republi- can state convention was assembling in the auditorium today tit was am nounced that Chauncey M. Depew was in the city. The convention appointed a committee to invite MT. Depew to ad- dress the convention. MT. Depew was wildly cheered.
 "The conduct of affairs by the De- mocracy," Mr. Depew said, 'fhad been characterized by imcompetency, idiccy, pig headedness and inability to run a big machine. There was, however, a period in the history of every nation when the foollkiller stops" On the currency question tine speaker asserted that he second principle which was a necessity ito the prosperity of the coun- try, lis that its currency must be of the best money in the world. He had met many people of the silver states; they said they were for free silver, but they must have proteetion laws or they could not live. The Republican party would lose no silver states because the people knew if they defeated Re pulblicanism they would Lose protec- tilon, which was the breath of their life The mention of Mckinley was cheered with great enthusiasm.
 Col. o. A. James of Hillsdafe was tenn porary chairman

INDIANAPOLIS, May s7-The Re- publican convention adopted resolu- tions instructing for Mckinley.
 EX-President Harrison was expected to be present, but failed to appear.
 Ex-Secretary of the Navy Thompson was chairman.
 When the resolution inatructing for Mckinley was read there were loud cries for Harrison for several minutes, but the resolutions were adopted. The platform eXtols Benjamin Harrison. contrasting his administration with that of his successor; demands the re- turn ito the Republican policy of pro- tection and reciprocity; favors silver as currency; 'but to the ex- tent only and under such reg ulations that its parity with gold can be maintained and in firm, unVarying maintenance of the free, unlimited and independent coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to l."
 There was little doubt when the con- vention met that the instructions would carry, but a warm fight was ex- pected, and a fight, too, in which Gen eral Harrison's name would figure prominently A half accepted invita- tion to the eX-president that he ad- dress the convention this morning had Jed to @ hope On the part of the anti instruction people that an eleventh hour sensation would be sprung which would save the day to them. No one believed the general would indicate to l the slightest extent that his name might be considered, but it was per sistently rumored he might deliver an address which, while -committa, would cause stampede and defeat the resolution But General Harrison failed to appear.
 1 When the report of the committee on resolutions, the signal for the ex- pected battle, w3s called, there were frantic yeIls for Harrison! Harrisonr' but the ex-president was at home, a mile away, and the fight was plainly Lost.
 The motion Ito adopt the resolutions was made and although there were frantic yells of ''No!" from thu mega tive, the vote was very evidently about 31 to 1 in the Ohioan's favor
 The delegation then settled down tt the work of making ticket, apparent fly utterly forgetting the Indiana pres idential situation, which has been a matter of National interest for months
 The significance of General Harri- sons failure ito address the delegates was a matter thoroughly discussed about political headquarters, but opin- ions differed widely. Some expressed the opinion the eX-president felt thal the instructions were direct slap al him, while others declare he had merely emphasized his previously ax- pressed desire ito be considered e-laire- i ly out of the presidential situation.
 General Harrison refused to discuss the days proceedings in any way.

Mckinley as long as there lis a reasonable prospect for his ncmina- tion.'
 The following resolution was adopted unanimously 'fWe commend the course of our delegates in congress in opposing the proposed funding schemes of the Pacific railroad companies and urge that the latter be compelled to settle their indebtedness in some reas- onable and business-sike way, Or thaE the government shall foreclose its liens upon and take possession of the prop critics"
 The convention came out square.y for silver in the, following declaration,

those from Leavenworth and Atchison

silver forces. The State ticket seems
to have run but little behind the elec-
toral ticket so far as heard from. Sen
sational silver gains appear at this
writing to have been made in Shaw
nee, Montgomery and Rome counties,
it being in the two latter about 1000
