The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-02-25

The bright young men who are forced to
earn their living on some of the big New
York newspapers are really to be pitied
They are compelled to manufacture sensa-
tionalism at the order of the guiding gen.
ius, or lose their jobs. The New York cor
respondent of an out-of-town paper met
a worker for one of the yellow journals"
on the street the other evening, and ask
ed him, Are you not going on duty little
early to-night?'' YES" replied the I'M
willing disciple of the yellow kid" ''un-
der circumstances such as exist at pres
ent, you see, we go each into his padded
cell and throw fits until a. m. That's
what you see in the paper the next morn
ing" II war is delayed much longer,
these young men will probably be held re-
sponsible for it, and get fired anyway. 1t
is their business to get war news" by way
of the Broadway cable.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. FEBRUARY %. 1898.

The New York Journal Of Commerce and
Commercial Bulletin gives some striking
facts with regard to the growth Of the
number of trusts and monopolies in this
country during the past few years. A com
putation of the various combinations
created with O viewto controlling produc-
ton and prices in one way and another,
it says, made by an expert for the Com
mercial Year Book enumerates 200 of these
organizations, with a total of capital stock
and bonds aggregating 1852, 100000. This
total is equal 10 So per cent. of the entire
capital credited to the manufactures of the
United states in the census of 1890. Since
the advent of the Mckinley administra-
ton. and especially since the passage of
the Dingley tariff law, there has been re-
markable activity in the formation of
trusts and combinations. There are anti
trust laws on the federal statute books,
but they seem to he worse than useless.

THE INFIRMARY.
To the Board OF Managers of the Alex
andria IntirmarV


andra Inirmary:
Lsdies-Iu accordance with the rules
of the Iniirmary and shortening of the
time of service, as result Of the re-
cent enlargement OF the medical staff,
it becomes my pleasant duty to report
to you the work done in the institu-
ton during the past two months. jar
uary had the largest number of sdmi;-
sions during any one month IN the his.
tory of the Ioirmary. For the two
month0 there were about seventy-one
indoor and outdoor patients. Twenty
TWO of these patients were cured, six
relieved, two consumptives benefited,
three persons died. Two of those who
died were private patients brought into
the Infrmary as dernier resort; and
the other, a hopeless case of typhoid
fever In the public ward, lived only
thirty six hours after admission. BE-
lieving it to be the duty OF the attend
ing physician to suggest any changes
he may deem necessary to the advance
ment of the institution, will call at
tenton to the condition Of the male
colored ward. This ward is not what
it should be and what it can he made
at nominal cost. The floor should
be raised 10 the level of the floor in
the main building, so that there may
be free ventilation between the ground
and the floor. At present i. is damp.
The second and urgent change is, that
the building be heated by hot water.
The heat generated by the furnace and
istrobe has long since been proven
as deleterious to the well, consequent
ly, the Iotirmary being the resort of
the invalid, should have the atmos-
phere in the purest condition and this
can only be accomplished by the mostim-
proved method OF heating. The cost Of
heating by the present systt N is very ex
pensive and it is very imperiectly done.
By the change the expense would b,
about one-half. 1t was very gratifying
to hear one of the surgeons from
Washington city, after inspecting the
building, say that two things particu-
iarly impressed him-the thorough
utilization Of all space and the total alt
sence of all unpleasant odors, which is
such constant accompaniment of hos
pitfalls. To speak of the qualifications
of our Marion and her assistants would
be a work oisupererogatior; they are too
we'll known to require any further
commentator. 10 closing my report,
it is exceedingly gratifying to me to be
able to say that the past two months
service has been the most pleasant and
profitable of any during the past five
years. Respectfully,
GEO. T. KLIPsTEIN, NJ. d.
