THE HOSPITAL MATTER.
County Board Committee holds Meet.
- ing this SAfterno0n.

The county board committee to look
into the matter of leasing Tourtellotte
hospital met Wednesday. The com
mittee consists of Commissioners Pad
dock, Killmer and Borchert. It will
attempt to arrive at an understanding
of the comparative cost of the present
system of caring for the sick poor and
the plan of leasing and operating the
hospital. Com. Paddock believes that
the plan of county hospital would be
less expensive than the present plan,
and favors the change. ...y.-..
Com. Killmer favors securing the
hospital in case the expense of operat-
ing it is not, materially greater than
the county isgnow put to. He is desir.
Gus of investigating the matter thor.
oughly. Com. B2rchert takes about
the same ground.
Mr.. Killmer feels that the demands
on the county for the care of the sick
poor will increase as time goes on, and
he would take that into consideration
He states that the committee will not
make report until the county board
meets in January. ...
The committee expects to receive from
Auditor Gunders a statement of the cost
of caring for the sick poor under the
present method, and from the Sisters
who have charge of.the Tourtellotte
hospital an estimate of the cost of oper
ating it.
Com. Killmer feels that a mistake
was made in locating the poor farm
where it is.

Exclamation OF tho Cruisers Shortage OF
Coal OF the Chilean Coast.
Francisco, Aug. 29.-The cruiser New
ark arrived hero late this afternoon without
firing the usual salute. This was due to the
fact that Naval Cadet Johnson was 80 seriously
Ill that the Captain feared the result OF the
shock OF the guns.
From one of the officers the facts were learned
in regard to the scarcity OF coal Oh the Chilean
coast. which might have caused the loss OF the
cruiser In case OF a sudden storm. This officer
said: I'VE were badly delayed coming through
the straits. and off Port Lima the supply was
found to be so low that 1t was
jecided to send men ashore and get
wood One hundred and fifty cords were
cut. but it was so green that 1t burned poorly
and did not make good steam. Then the
Captain secured about 100 tons Of coal from
Chilean gunboat of Ancord. This lasted until
the cruiser reached Valparaiso. No one on
board seems to know exactly how the shortage
occurred The general theory is that the
engineers men wasted the coal and thus
reduced what at most could only be barely
sufficient.
