THE NEW OPERATING ROOM.
Everything Now in Readiness at the Rex
Hospital for the Surgeon-A Work of
Women-Cost $500.

Hospital for the Surgeon-A Work o.
Women-Cost $500.
As result largely of the efforts OF
some of Raleigh's noblest women, the op
Grating room at the Rex Hospital Is
about ready to be turned over to the sur
geons. The total cost of this room with
its outfit amounts to about $40O, which
money represents wit and work and devo
ton of women. 1t is a dainty room ON the
second floor with flood Of light. The
main fight of the modern surgeon
seems to have been against septicemia
and pure hearts are no less n REQUESTS
for the saints than are clean hands now
for the surgeon-not to speak of the busy
fingers Of the nurse.
The appurtenances are all there, the
porcelain vessels for the bi-chloride ant
sterilized water, for sponges and dress
ings. The floor is of tile, the walls being
deeply wainscoted with glazed tile, above
which the finish is Of bare soapstone, ev
erything fashioned for the free applica
ton of water for perfect cleanliness. The
plumbing arrangements keep running wa
ter at hand, and glass-top tables give one
a keen sense Of clean-cutness and purity
The operating table itself is Of glass ad-
ustable to any position of the body the
surgeon may desire. 1t is light, on rubber
rollers, strong and handy exquisite to the
eye Of the man Of science. Copper steri-
lzers are at hand in the little adjoining
room, where the ether is given, and the
whole department has been completed I'M
der the jealous medical zest that is salts
fed now with nothing short of up-to-date-
ness. Much Of the gloom of the old-fash-
Toned surgical surroundings is scattered
by the glamor of these modern devices
with a frosted, ample sklyight by day
and white flood of electric light by
night.
The rest of the hospital is in keeping
with this new addition, every sweep of
the eye gathering in some picture Of
mercy intelligently drected-light, clean
beds and floors; pale, sleeping children,
with their dolls by their sides, colored as
well as white-a little brat with his leg
broken as costly looked after as any
other case in hand. Without respect to
age or color or nationality, the place is a
arms of which Raleigh may be
proud, made effective as it is by COM
petent corps of nurses, the chief of whom
is specially skilled in her high calling.

Of ways. nothing very serious, but still
enough to cause some loss and a good

today from the outskirts. showing that the
wind and water left their impress IN va
rious places. but the chief damage was
done to the works Of the government fort
building at Fort Point. Mr.. Bruncman OF

Of tho mortar battery. and had made some
progress In the way of laying the founda-
ton. but the wind blew and the waves
rolled over and washed 1t away, entailing
"A money loss Of probably $1,000 or $500.
The works at the gun battery. which tho
government Is constructions also suffered
damage. Two heavy iron derricks had
been erected with which To handle the ce-
mcnt for the concrete foundations OF tho
fort. These derrlcks were held by heavy
wire guy lines attached TO anchors
buried in the sand. AS the waters
rushed over the site It undermined the
sand anchors and the derricks fell. Other
temporary works were carried away. and
Major Miller estimates the money loss at
about $1,000, lie said this morning that 1t
was lucky that the blow came on Sunday
when there were no men at work on the
work. because II 1t had occurred when

would have likely resulted In some loss of
