Thus far the adjutant general has paid

That Take Place at the Institu-
ttOn-Mtss Moore Says 1t Is Not
Strange That She Is Leaving.
There is to be a change of superin-
tendent and assistants at st. Luke's hos
pltal. In fact, the change has already
been recorded IN the minutes Of the
board of managers, as the resignation
OF Supt. Moore has been accepted. The
designations of Miss Monk and Miss
Laird, who were installed at st. Lukes
as assistants under Miss Moore's re-
gime, have also been rendered and ac-
copied.
Miss Moore has been the superintendent
at et. Luke's for nearly a year. She
came here highly recommended as a hos
pltal stewardess, having graduated from
BELLEVUE hospital, of New York city, and
afterWard had charge of different insti-
tutlons. She came to this city from Of
tawa, Can, where she had charge of a
hospital for several years. Soon after
her advent at st. Lukes Miss Monk and
MISS Baird We're installed as her assist
ants Miss Moore says the other two
women have been associated with her in
other hospitals in which she had charge.
When asked last evening to explain the
periodical changes at St. Luke's Miss
moore was exceedingly reticent about
the subject and firmly declined to dis
cuss the subject
I'VE are leaving. and that is all there
Is to it, said Miss Moore
rs there any reason you care to give
for going?" was asked
Il not care to discuss the subject
at all; why l am leaving and where
am going is matter of no concern
to the public
Has there been any trouble with the
board of managers?'
1ou must excuse me, cannot discuss
the details of this matter
Have Miss Monk and Miss Baird re-
signed because you did?"
L do not know; they came here to
work with me and perhaps they are leav-
ing to be with me-
There is really no use in asking me
questions continued Miss Moore, IT
nave nothing to say except that 1 have
resigned. My resignation was handed
In a month ago, and has been &C
cepted. Miss Monk and Miss Baird have
also resigned. We leave the hospital
week from today. Other superfn-
tendents of this hospital have left within
year after taking charge and 1t is not
strange that L follow their example"

COAL COMBINATION WINS OUT
BOARD OF CONTROL OPENS ONE
MORE BATCH OF DUPLICATE
BIDS
Discovers That Prices Asked Have
Been Tilted Ten Cents n Ton
Above Preceding Propositions,
and Is Obliged to Admit Defeat.

The board of control yesterday opened
bids for furnishing fuel to the city hos
pital, almshouse and for outside relief.
This was the second series of bids opened.
Aug. 8, in answer to advertisements, the
board opened bids from six coal firms.
There was a unanimity as to prices on
the first bids which caused the board to
decide that there was a combination
among the fuel dealers, and all bids were
rejected and new ones called for. When
the second batch was opened yesterday
the decision of the board as to a COM
bination was clinched. The same firms
figures, however, were alike, the only diff
ference in the bids being that the price
of each kind of bituminous coal had been
tilted 10 cents per ton.
The board decided that this year it could
not beat the coal combination, and will
probably award the contract today
The bidders were the Pioneer Fuel COM
pany, Northwestern Fuel company,
YcUghiogheny & Lehigh Coal company,
Ohio Coal company, Adams Coal company
and William Salisbury. The figures in all
the bids were alike, the Ohio Coal COM
pany and Youghiogheny & Lehigh COM
pany varying the prices by agreeing to
furnish New River and Pocahontas at
$3S5 per ton to the hospital and $3.50 at the
almshOuse. The price Of Youghiogheny
was $40 at the hospital and 1915 at the
almshouse; Hooking, $685. at hospital and
$3.50 at almshouse; West Virginia, 81 at
hospital and 1855 at the almshouse. The
price for stove nut and egg was $3.50 per
ton. William Salisbury bid $3.50 for maple
wood and A. M. DaVern, $5.25. The board
took the bids under advisement for tab
ulation. About 800 tons of soft coal is
used.
