ISSUES ITS ANNUAL REPORT
Statistics Regarding 81. JOseph's Hos.
pital Are Given to the
Public.

The annual report of st. Joseph's hospital
has been given to the public. The pamphlet
recites the many advantages the hospital
possesses in the way Of accommodations for
the care Of the sick and gives the statistics
showing the number of cases treated during
the year.
During 1898, to increase the facilities Of
the surgical department, a building 35x70
feet and two stories in height was erected
at a cost of $40, 900. 1t was opened Septem-
Der 1. Besides two special operating rooms,
%oculist, bath. case and cloak rooms, 1t has a
spacious and we'll lighted rotunda. which is
fitted with the latest modern appliances and.
for clinical purposes will seat 100 students.
The hospital will accommodate 300 patients
at one time. During the year 1898, 1,703 per-
sons were treated at the institution. Nearly
half this number were purely medical and
a great majority Of those remaining were
surgical cases.
The hospital Is under the charge of the
Sisters OF Saint Francis and is based on
charity in every sense Of the word. 1t is
open to all the afflicted and patients are ad-
mitted regardless Of nationality or religion.
The poor are admitted free.
Those who wish to inspect the general ar
rangements of the building Will be shown
through on the first and third Sundays Of
each month.

SIXTEENTH INFANTRY ARRIVES
Soldiers from the South Take the
Place of Those Who Go to
Manila.

The Missouri Pacific landed the battalion
Of the Sixteenth infantry at Fort Crook Sat-
urday. The troops were carried in two
sections, the first reaching the fort at about
Z o'clock and the other about an hour later.
The battalion was carried over the Mobile &
Ohio from Huntsville to st. Louis, and there
turned over to the Missouri Pacific. There
are about 500 officers and men in the battal-
ion, including the headquarters and band.
Word has been received from w. G.
Barnes, travelling passenger agent Of the
Missouri Pacific, who went with one section
of the Twenty-second infantry, saying the
troops arrived at Pueblo safely and on time,
and that the Denver & Rio Grande took the
trains on their journey at about 8 o'clock
Saturday morning.
c. A. Rutherford, city passenger agent OF
the Rock Island, who accompanied a section
Of the Twenty-second to Phillipsburg, Kan,
has returned to Omaha. He said
the trains on his road were making good
time, arriving at Phillipsburg shortly after
midnight, after a stop Of an hour at Lin
coin.

DISREGARD THE PROTESTS
Smallpox Hospital Goes Into Fonta-
nellie Park and to he Com
structed at Once.

Plans for the smallpox hospital that is
to be located in Fontanelle park have been
completed. The building will be plain and
at first of a temporary character. 1t will
be 24X6O feet in size, one story In height
and will contain ten rooms. Lumber for
the structure has been carted to the park
and the building will be commenced as soon
as the weather will permit. After the start
Is made the hospital will be completed in
a few days, SO Building Inspector Butler
says.
The authorities are determined to locate
the hospital in Fontanelle park despite the
protests Of neighboring residents. Regard
ing this Mayor Moores says: II fully APP
preclate the objections of the people who
live about the park. but, sifted down, they
are more OF a financial character than the
result Of any fear of the disease. They
think the value of their property will be
deprecated. Such considerations cannot
be regarded when the health OF the
city or the care Of a victim of
smallpox Is in the balance. In such an
emergency the city must take steps to pro-
tect the health Of the city and to care for
its sick, without regard to minor considera-
tions. In the present situation We must have
a smallpox hospital. We could not select
any site In the city that would not be OBJ
jectionable, and We must therefore get the
one that Is least so. After thoroughly con-
sidering a number Of sites. we selected Fon-
tanelle park as the one that will do the least
injury and there the hospital will be To-
Gated, although it may never be used"
No new cases Of smallpox have been re-
ported at the office OF the Board Of Health
and all the patients are in a favorable con-
dition.

AUTOMOBILE CABS IN PARIS
Coming Into General Use-Electricity
the FavOrite as n Motive
Power.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Consul General
Gowdy at Paris reports to the State depart
ment that there has been a marked increase
during the last year in the use of automobiles
in the city Of Paris, not only as pleasure
vehicles, but for practical application as
public cabs and for business purposes as
delivery wagons. 1t Is announced that soon
there will be 100 motor cars driven by cleo
tricity running in the streets of Paris, and,
if the experiment be successful. the cabs
will be increased to 1000. With this par
ticular project in view a large plot of ground
has been secured, where the building Of
works necessary for the housing OF the cabs
and machinery for the electric supply are
being rapidly completed. The training
ground also has been made for the cab
men. This Is laid out with every possible
form OF paving-wood, asphalt. stone, ETC.
including two steep hills. Here and there
are dotted about a number Of dummy figures
and in and out of these the cabmen have to
maneuver under the orders of an Instructor.
AS a rule in four lessons the driver is ready
to navigate Paris and after ten lessons is
considered thoroughly competent. Each cab
Is supplied with sufficient power to be driven
thirty miles at about eight miles an hour.
Among these systems OF automobiles in
Paris there are many using petroleum, which
called forth a most pronounced objection
from the public by reason, first, OF the odor
following their passage; second, the noise,
and, third, for the passengers, the extraor-
binary vibration. A contamination Of great
value would be a machine which would
combine durability, speed and economy with
out these annoyances and defects.

RECORD OF THE PROCEEDINGS
Review of the Convention Work Of
the Old-Time Telegraphcrs'
Association.

The official record of the eighteenth an
nual reunion of the Old-Time Telegraph
er's association, which was held in The Bee
building, this city, September 10 and 10.
1898, has been promulgated and copies have
just been received by the local members
Of the organization. The book Is excep-
~tionally well arranged and its ,typograph-
ical appearance Is highly creditable. Its
pages are embellished by excellent portraits
Of members and others who were connected
with the Omaha reunion and it makes a
souvenir of that most enjoyable occasion
that is highly priced by all who contrib
uted to its success.
The first inside page contains an accurate
reproduction Of the magnificent birds eye
view Of the exposition, which was drawn
for the exposition management by f. j.
Austen and this is followed by a list OF
the officers for 1898. A we'll written mono
graph on EARLY Friendships" by Edward
c.. Cockey, forms an appropriate preface
and this is followed by a complete review
Of the proceedings Of the session. The con-
s~titution and bylaws of the association are
also reproduced, together with the roster
Of membership and that of the United States
Military Telegraph corps. The volume ends
with the list OF officers for 1899.
The portraits that occur at frequent in
tervals throughout the book include those
of Colonel John ]. Dickey. l.. H. Korty, Ed
ward Rosewater, w. w. Umsted and other
Omaha members OF the organization, as we'll
as the portraits of John A. Creighton,
Mayor Frank E.. Moores, W. Salisbury and
others who assisted in the reception and
entertainment of the delegates. The Of
ficers and nearly all the personal landmarks
OF the association receive similar recognt-
ton, not emitting the youngest honorary
member, a little daughter OF Colonel Dickey.

The Sacred Heart parish is coming 10 be

be OF unusual interest and Importance and
to contribute largely to stimulate still more
the various energies of the parish in the
Lords work. The mission is intended prl-
marily and principally for the practitioners,
but incidentally all are invited and cordially

SCOTT GRANTS MANDAMUS
Court Settles the County Printing
Contract, O~verturninE the De-
cisiOn Of the County Board.

Judge Scott sat In chambers to hear the
application Of the Festner Printing COM
pany for a mandamus to compel the Board
OF County Commissioners to execute a con-
tract with the company for the county print
Ing for 1899. The arguments related merely
to the facts previously stated. County At
torney Shields contending that the board
reserved the right to reject any and all
bids and that the bid OF the Festner COM
pany was not complete. The court granted
the writ after an extended monologue, a
considerable part Of which pretained to the
protest from Pressmen's union No. 80, which
had been introduced in evidence. He con-
tended at length that the board had no right
to consider union or non-union labor in
granting contracts. He declared that the
right to reject all bids was not an absolute
right and that the board should have ac-
oepted the lowest bid at once after 1t was
received.
