No Cases in Hospital Considered Critical
Hospital Has Lady Visitors.

When Surgeon Martin and DR.. Brick
EFT visited their patients in the battery
hospitf, Tuesday morning, they were
pleased ito find that none were in any
worse condition than on Monday, while
some were showing signs OF improve
ment. There are many who are con-
sidered very sick yet. as on Monday
there are not any cases where the con-
dition of the men are thought to be
critical.
Owing to the large number who are
sick, it was thought possible that more
room in the hospital building would be
needed so General Richards has kind
ly placed the mess house of the hos
pitfalls to the disposal of Surgeon Mar
tin. This place rs already fitted with
cots as it was used by the LIST Regi-
ment when they arrived home.
No new cases of the measles are re-
ported. #a
Amcng the visitors of Tuesday, were
Mrs. #. E. Boothby and Several other
Portland ladies together with Mrs.
General Conner, Mrs. r. H.. Martin and
others of this city, who offered to fur
nish anything that was in their power
to make the sick boys more comfort
thing possible is given the men though
possibly simuants or delicacies might
be acceptable. One thing that cannot
be given the men that they most long
for, is mothers care.
1t is pitible at times to visit the hos
pital and see a man who is about to be
placed in it. One such case was seen
Monday. where the man was sick with
a very high fever and every symptom
of typhoid. Had he been at home he
would have been in bed hours before.
but he was holding up with all his will
given permission to go home. The doc
tor knew that to let him go in the con-
dition he was in would be accompanied
by perhaps fatal results, so would not
consent.
The poor fellow sat in the supply tent,
his lip quivering and tears starting to
his eyes as he said, Il could have so
much better care at home" This was
not casting any reflection upon the
care he could have there with the
nurses who are constantly over them,
and the doctors within call all the
time, but he knew mother could do so
much for him that the others did not
understand how to do In the end he
consented to go into the hospital.

Hospital staff Changes. Gossip Of the Vet
Grams and Their Surroundings.

The year 1898 has BEEN at the National
Home, a busy one, and though the clos
ing months are now passing swiftly by,
there is no slackening of work at the city
of veterans beyond the Chelsea hills, and
the carpenters are still making merry
music from morn till night. The preced-
ing year saw many changes about the
place, aside from the new board of Off
Gals. but the improvements that have
been inaugurated since the advent of '9S,
and are now approaching completion will
exceed by far those of the preceding year,
and 1898 will without doubt, so on record
as one of the most progressive in the his
tory of the institution. f4a
In previous issue of the Journal a
description was given of the new Home
store. then in course of construction.
The store was opened for business about
the middle of August, and is proving to
be all that was expected of it, 1t is well
filled with every class of goods that are
necessary to supply the needs Of the in
mates of the Home. and corps of gen
temanly assistants dispense the articles
in a satisfactory manner. 1t is a light,
roomy store, and has a steady trade at
all times.
Another great change that has been
made and is nearly completed is at the
opera house. From an entertainment
hall of rather ordinary appearance and
convenience, it has been transformed in
a few short months to a veritable gem
among theatres. Though not large, it is
yet of sufficient capacity to accommodate
the theatre-going people at the Home
and also those from the neighboring cities
