DODGE RESTS EASY.
He is in the Fight to Stay and Sure o
Nomination.

He is in the Fight to Stay and Sure of
Nomination.
While men who favor the reelection
Of Mayor Dodge are not making a great
deal of noise, there was plenty of evil
dence yesterday that coats had been
removed, and that the next few days
would see considerable in the way of
political activity.
The mayor received numerous callers
during his office hours yesterday, but
went home early. He does not appear
worried over the outcome, and has lit
tie to say regarding the situation
He Is in the fight, he says, to stay
and will not be beaten without strug-
gle, and there are men who say no one
is better qualified to direct such a fight
than the present encumbent of the
mayors chair.
A leading Dodge man said yesterday:
I'VE are sure of one thing, that Mayor
Dodge is stronger in Worcester than
ever before on the eve of a city cleo
ton. If we can get the voters out to
the caucuses there is little doubt in my
mind but that he will land all right,
but in event of small vote in the pre-
liminaries, there might be occasion for
some uneaSineSs
The sentiment expressed is evidently
the cue for those who are at work. A
big effort is being made to get out the
full party vote on Tuesday night, and
from the present outlook there is evil
dence that the efforts Of those engaged
in the work will be rewarded.
Men who favor Mayor Dodge laugh
at the claims of the opposition. Men
from wards one and two say it is very
doubtful if these wards, which would
naturally seem to be the property of the
Roe element, can be carried against
Dodge. They laugh at the claim on
ward eight, and can see nothing ahead
but a sweeping victory.
City officials, almost to man, favor
Mayor Dodge A canvass of the munich
pal building fails to unearth dissent
ing voice. All are for the mayor, first,
last and all the time.
Several men prominent in Grand Ar
my circles, say that, even though Mr..
Roe is an old soldier, he will not be
given the solid support Of this organ
lzation, any more than in the other or
ganization, which might naturally be
supposed to support him.

The following members of the John

Father Feeley was spiritual director,

and that that concurrence is under
stood to be withheld until such time
as their successors are given confirma-
tiOn.
Mr.. TOrrey, who decided this position
the correct one in the Anthony Walsh
case contends that special provision
is made for appointing and removing
police officers and points to section 4
of this same article for confederation.
This section reads as follows:
The mayor shall nominate, and by
and with the advice anS consent of
the select council appoint, suspend or
dismiss the said policemen, any or all
Of them, and in like manner all vacan-
Cies shall be tilled"
BY comparing the two sections it will
be seen that there is as Mr. Torrey
claims, both a distinction and a differ
ence. Section c dealing generally with
the appointment and removal of sub
ordinate officers" says the mayor shall
nominate by and with the advice and
consent of select council appoint, and
"he" shall remove, etc. Section 4,
dealing with the appointment of po-
licemen," says the mayor shall nomin-
ate and by and with the consent Of
select council appoint, suspend or dis
miss.
The words Suspend or dismiss"
make the distinction and difference.
AS stated yesterday this point. ac-
cording to Mr.. TorreY, was not met
by either the Simonton or Weiss de-
cisions.

A charity hospital of elaborate di-
mensions and designs and equipped
i'm the most modern manner is pro-
jected under the patronage of Bishop
Hoban. The site has been secured
and the money for it's erection and
maintainence is in sight.
1t is to be a charity hospital in every
sense of the word, not only giving free
treatment, but being open to every
class of patients and every reputable
physician who may wish to use the in
stitution in conducting the treatment
of a case.
The staff will he the hest than can
be secured from the whole list of local
physicians. The nurses will be drawn
from the nursing orders of the Catho-
lie sisterhood, all Of whom, of course,
receive professional training Of the
highest order.
A high point of land on the South

and surroundings and convenient of
access from all portions of the city

general plans Of the institution are
now being outlined under the direction
of DR.. II. II. Gibbons

cottages being separate from the main
hospital building and each a miniature
hospital in itself, complete isolation
will be afforded for special cases re-
quiring it, A special hospital for
burn" cases and another for sepsis.
or blood poisoning cases. will be
among the cottage features. The
tit,rr Nf . al
cal departments will also be in sep
arate buildings and in the matter of
equipment will be second to none in
the country.
In the central part of the city will be
an emergency hospital for the primary
care of accident cases. When condi-
tions warrant, patients treated here
will be removed to the convalescent
ward in the main hospital.
1t is proposed to make the ambu-
lance service one of the principal feat
ures of the new hospital. The auto
mobile style of ambulance will be used
insuring not only safe, but quick and
comfortable transportation of pa
tientS.
DR.. Gibbons says that it is intended
that no reasonable expense will be
spared in erecting and conducting the
hospital and that when completed and
in running order it will not be sur
passed in excellence by any hospital
In the country.
While the hospital will be erected
mainly for the benefit of those who
are unable to nay for treatment, there
will be facilities for the treatment of
private patients.

SERIOUS FIRE AvERTED.
Blaze in the Paris Put Out by Off
GERS Moir and Parry.

A blaze which would have undoubt-
ediy terminated in a very destructive
COnflagra tion was nut out about s
o'clock last evening by Detective Molr,
assisted by Patrolman Parry.
They were standing at the corner of
Wyoming and LaCkawanna avenues at
the time mentioned. when man rushed
across the street and said that the store
on the opposite corner, known as the
Paris. was on fire. The officers rushed
over and merry blaze could be seen
through the side windows.
Detective Moir broke through one Of
the side windows and Patrolmal Parry
rushed after some water The latter
was obtained from one of the stores in
the basement and y bucket brigade was
organized, MOir throwing it on the
flames and soon eXtinguishng them.
The fire was caused by the explosion
of a small gas stove. Two of the floor
rafters were burned through, and had
the blaze got a little better start there
is no doubt but that the building, which
is very old, would have been badly
damaged before the fire could be placed
under control
