Fire-nrtefs.

PETERSBURG, VA. January 12-(Spe-
cial)-By an error in my letter Of yester-
day II was made TO appear that the cost
OF the care and maintenance of the pa
tients at the state Central Hospital last
year averaged 347 per diem per patient.
The average per diem should have been
2l7. The cost of supporting the institu-
ton during the year, with the average
number of patients present S1263, was
SIS S577i-making the average cost per
patient OF 5000 per year. or III per DAY.
This cost includes clothes, feed, nursing,
bedding, fuel. lights, medicines. trans
portation, salaries, and wages Of all Off
GERS and employees. and also the Keeping
up all ordinary repairs. and making
minor Improvements. As thus shown the
cost PER patient Is less than one-half that
Of keeping a lunatic in Jail. For the last
six months of the year there was an
average OF fifty lunatics in the Jails of
the State. costing the State 30 cents each
per daV, indepcndent of clothing ana
medical attention There are at present
nnety-siX applications on file AT the hos
pital for admission, many or the patients
being I'm jail. II is said that the authori-
ties of this hospital have at no time had
a case Of grip TO treat. and the absolute
freedom from this disease is ascribed by
the doctors 10 the fact that the inmates
of the institution have never been eX-
ooscd TO the night air. They are all in
their rooms after sunset.

News, but formerly of this city wed to-

RALEIGH. y. g., January R-(Special)
The Grand Lodge OF MasOns was in ses-
sion until Ais O'Clock this morning. 1t
was the latest hour at which il had ever
adjourned. The length OF the session
was due 70 the discussion regarding the
oxford orphan Asylum. There were two
points at issue-one. whether the gift OF
Ben Duke, OF Durham, ought TO be re-
ceived as coming from q member OF the
American Tobacco Company or trust; the
other, whether the matron. who Is from
Massachusetts. and who is paid salary
Of 81 900 ought not TO be replaced by a
North Carolina woman. The result o.
the long discussion was the adoption Of
a resolution that it was proper 10 re-
ceive the gifts Of Mr.. Duke, who has
given the orphan asylum more than
81 600, and the adoption of another reso-
luton that a North Carolina woman
should be made matrOn. The attendance
ar the Grand Lodge was even greater

ment
gut II Is Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement OF foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world - offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
taiIlt from the blood.
There is one remedy that can enect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost Invariably succeeded -
even where the system has been poisoned
NV long wears of faint, and the ravages TO
be repaired ere tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilia. Read this;
any daughter was afflicted with I'M
nure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
hut could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girl this med
icjne. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles
She has had no symptoms OF scroiuia
sores since that time" MARIETTA M'
