There are three prominent facts de-
veloped: At the State Hospital at Nor
Canton, DR. Murphy has treated 1913
patients during the biennial term the
first time in our history that such num-
bers have been cared for. At the Cen
trail Hospital in Raleigh. Or. Kirby has
returned 12J during the current year to
their homes recovered from this grieyous
afhiction being IS per centaof the num-
Der admitted At the Eastern Hospital
ut G0dsboro. DR.. Miller while keeping
the institution up to its full standard OF
comfort and efficiency, has reduced the
per capita cost to 5000, which in mode
ration Of expenditure has no par
allcl in this country.
The percentage of mortality in the
State Hospital has been only 3.J3. a
progressive feature is the establishment
of Il refrigerating plant and cold storage
for the saving of meats and the large
vegetable supplies from their garden and
farm.
The Eastern Hospital is entirely filled,
by 430 patients, and rs many applica-
tons have been refused, $4,000 will be
asked for, to increase its accommodate
tiOns have been refused; $4,000 will he

thanks to Capt. benson, tine secretary

and efficient administration.

Increased Accommodations for the In
sane of the State.

sane of the State.
The Board of Public Charities Of
North Carolina has been in session the
past two days. DR.. Chds. Duffy, chair
man. w. y. Jones, VIM. A. Blair, ).
w. Reid, and Capt. c. Il. benson, sccre-
tary, being present.
The annual report of the secretary
was unusually full embracing every sub
ject connected with the penal and chart
table institutions both of the State and
the counties. with complete details of
all. 1t also gave he results of new in
vestigations in the sociology of our
State, and of special reports to the Nat
ional Conference of Charities, the In
ternational Prison Commission, the Uni
ted States Bureau of Immigration and
other bodies. The various subjects were
fully discussed by the board, including
the improvement of the Soldiers Home,
organization of State Reform School,
establishment of an asylum for the
Feeble Minded and kindred matters.
The following paragraph from the re-
port will give entire satisfaction:
LESS than weny years ago, the
average member of the insane provided
for in North Carolina was about 2o0, III
one building at Raleigh constructed for
222. Now the three admirable hospitals
for the insane accommodate 1,531 pa
tients, and the whole number under
treatment the past year, exceeds this
by several hundred. 1t may be fairly
estimated that nearly, or quite 1000 per-
sons will receive the benefit of the
latest modern treatment of insanity dur
ing the coming year, in our State. This
means that North Carolina is treating
eight times as many of the insane for
about three times the cost Of the origi-
nal number"

VIII Take a Hand In Case of War
With Spain.


At the meeting of the w. G. T. u yester-
day Mrs. Leonard suggested that super1n-
tendent from the union be appointed 10 look
after soldiers and sailors, and added that
especially at this time, when rumors OF war
were rife in the land, such work was need
ed, and that the superintendent should see
that In case of need bags containing lini-
ment. lint, pins and needles, with New
koys the sons husbands and brothers Of
those present and of other women OF the
country.
A motion to that effect was made and car
ried and Mrs. Holder appointed superin-
tendent; in case there Is war, however, the
duty of the superintendent will be, to con-
duct temperance meetings. where the men
from Fort Smelling and others enlisting will
have the benefit of the work OF the union.
District President Mrs. Weber thought 1t
was time to do some temperance work among
the old soldiers, when liquor was dealt out
to them as rations and said that the ladies
might carry on temperance meeting at the
home at any time, adding that the G. A. r.
ladies would be glad to assist. Mrs Morri-
son was appointed to take up the matter
with the ladies of the G. A. R.. but declined
for the reason that she was on the point Of
esignng from the the S G. y odn society
card parties and so forth, which has grown
prevalent among them.
Mrs. G. S. Sou!e. state treasurer OF the w.
G. T. u, came before the meeting with the
news that the ladies of the union at Mime
apolis had voted to hold the state conven-
ton at Glencoe, and had expressed them
selves DESTROYS of holding the national
convention at st. Paul the last Of October.
The ladies' were enthusiastic over the project
and will do all in their power to obtain the
convention for st. Paul.
A committee was appointed to interview
the governor in an effort to secure his aid
toward bringing the national convention here
1t was unoficially stated that the governor
had already promised ito extend what help

Some time before Mr. Hart left for Chi

BACK AT SCHOOL AGAIN.
Spring Term Begins With a Larger
Attendance Than Usual on the
First Dav

All departments Of the St. Paul public
schools were opened yesterday morning, upon
the beginning of the regular spring term.
The enrolment at the Central high school
was S25, as against s72 last term, and 953 for
the entire school year. The enrolment in
all the graded and other high schools was
proportionately large
Usually the first week in the spring term
is marked by a falling off Of the attendance
of the last day of the preceding term. Peo-
pie frequently keep their children out of
school until after Easter.
This year, however, the attendance was ex-
ceptionally large for the first day Of the
term, despite the fact that Good Friday and
several Jewish holidays come during the week.
Mr.. Bond stated yesterday that the schools
were all IN excellent shape and an unusually
graded and high schools in June.
