A Move in the Right Direction.

A Move in the Right Direction.
Every IN ove that makes scientific,
skillful treatment and help nearer
and more convenient should be en-
couraged and appreciated by all who
are afflicted, or who may be. 1t is
the province IF this arricle TO bling
to the attention of the public move
placed on foot some time ago by
DR.. r. B. Gillespie, and which has
grown and so far, has been eminentlv
successful We refer to the ar.
rangement he has made to treat and
care fer those who may be in need
of Surgical treatment. Dr. Gillespie
has fitted up a number of rooms in
connectiod with his offic on Main
Street, Mhich so far as he has gone,
are quite complete in all their de
tails. Hero he has equipped build
ing, capable OF accommodating four or
five patients at one time. The
waiting and consultation room Just
back of the front office, is nicely
aud conveniently arranged Back
OF this, and across a hall is th e
operating room fitted up with fur
mace, bath, hot and cold water,
sterilizers, cases aud cabinets for
surgical instrument, we'll arranged
operating chairs and tables. The
floor is cemen ted, and every detail is
so carefully looked after, that this is
probably, one of the best operating
rooms in tue State. Every instrument
used in surgical operation can be
thoroughly storilized in a short
time. On the upstairs floor are
the wards for the patients, fitted up
with neat iron cots. Below is a
labratory for tests &c. A lady nurse
has been employed, who will be on
hands all the time. DR.. w. l.
Painter, DR.. Gillespie's pardner,
lives on same lot, and within cali,
while DR.. Gillespie's home is, con
nected By telephone, where he can
be called when needed.
The Advantages of a hone insti
tuition of this kind are apparent.
Long, laboriOus and expensive
journeys are avoided. The patient
has the advantage of a splendid and
healteful climate, and a quiet retl eat
within easy reach of home and
friends.
Already a considerable number
of patients, from this, and adioini M
counties, have undergone severe
surgical operations here, and so far,
with satisfactory results. There is
every reason to believe that this
institution will grow, as years go by,
and Tazewell will have what has
been surely needed for years. 1t
should be stated that only surgical
patients will be treated ia the in-
stitut ion.

NORFOLK sKEPTICAL.

a proposition to relax in some
measure the quarantine against
Newport News, declared by Nor
folk upon the outbreak of alleged
yellow fever at the Soldiers Home
at Hampton, Va, was debated at
two meetings of the Board of
Health of Norfolk, Va, and Ports
mouth, held here today. No con-
clusion was reached and a Joint
meeting of the Board of Health,
State Board of Quarantine Com
mission, city officials and repre-
sentatives of the banking and
commercial interests Was arranged
to be held tonight.
1t developed at this meeting that
widely divergent views were held
by those pfesent and the meeting
which was attended by some spicy
plsOdes ended without anything
oeing done in the way of modifi-
cation of the existing quarantine
regulations.
The Board of Health of Norfolk
tonight, after the meeting referred
TO, received from the citizens of
Old Point, formal petitions asking
thai the quarantine in force against
that town be raised This petition
will not be acted OH at present.
Unofficial advises from the Sol
dier's Home via Newport News and
also from Hampton, received this
afternoon, are to the effect that one
new case of yellow fever developed
at the Soldiers Home there today.
This is not confirmed by the Ma
rine Hospital officials and the ac-
curacy of the report is doubted
here. 1t is stated by an official of
the Marine Hospital Service, that
of the two last deaths at the Home
reported from Newport News as
having been caused by yellow fever
onexwas from heart disease and the
other from malady in no wise
akiu to yellow fever.

new methods, and generally, of new
standing in the kingdom.
The setting apart, formally and
publicly of the New Christian
Church last Sunday was an event in
the histosy of that congregation.
1t was the elimination of long
cherished desires and hopes and
prayers TIE brethren were filed
Mith exoltant JOY as they gathered
in the beautiful temple. If the Jews
shouted and wept when the temple
was dedicated to the worship of God
whom they dimly saw and imper-
fectly comprenended, it is not at all
strange, but, natural, that
Christian should rejoica on a like
occasion.
The services of last Sunday were
simple but impressive. The dedica-
tory sermon was preached by Rev.
Mr.. DeVal, of Iowa, from l. John,
5:4. There was large audience
present, and the sermon was ar
propriate, and highly complimented.
The Music was under the direction
of Mrs. Pendleton, and was un-
us ually spirited and fine.
BRIEF History
The new bouse succeeds the
small building which stood on
Marion Avenue, and which was pull
chaser by the School Board and con.
verted into d splendid hall for the
use Of the Tazewell High School.
1t was in this building that the
Church had its birth, in 1887, the
building having been purchased
from Roman Catholics some years
previous. A majority of the charter
members are still living, and most OF
them were present last Sunday
Among them were Mr.. and Mrs. Geo
W. Gillespie, Mr. and Mrs. j. w.
Baker, DR.. r. b Gillespie, Mrs.
Mrs. Jas. HARRISON, w. G. and Miss
Ollie HARRISON, Mrs. Ii B. Herman
Mrs. Peggy Vail, and others. These
were gathered together through the
preaching principally, of Drs Chester
Bullard, JAS. Calfee aud d. A. Snow
of whom the two former are dead
These pioneer preachers laid th.
foundation of the church in thi.
section, forming a neuclus here
around which and from which tn,
present strong and growing con-
gregation has been formed. Th,
Church has had four pastors viz
Rev. j. n. Harman, A. A. Ferguson
@. Shelburne and Philip johnson
though whose efforts the present
membership of ia has beer

was now correct to state that Lord SAL

John Anderson. C. H. G., principal
clerk of Joseph Chamberlain, secretary
o, state for the colonies, says no such
statement has been issued by the COL
onlal office to the representative Of the

particulars in regard to the Alaska ques.
ton have been given to any representa-
tive of that agency which has therefore
the authority of the British colonial Of
