ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY CELgBRA-
TON.

ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRA-
TON.
DIR. J. p. Douglas, Superintend-
ent of the Western Hospital, gave
supper last Thursday evening TO
the employees of the institution in
honor of the eleventh anniversary
of its opening. The spread was
elaborate, and ample justice was
done to the many good things serv-
ed for the simmer man. by the nine.
ty-odd guests who partook of his
hospitality. The kind. hearted
Superintendent presided, with his
accustomed grace and case and every
one truly felt at home. 1t was a
most happy and enjoyable occasion,
one that will long be remembered.
/ DIR. Douglas has the love, esteem
and hearty cooperation and support
of his employees, to whom he real
ICES, in a large measure, is due the
successful management of this great
charity of Tennessee.
HISTORICAL.
In this connection, it will not be
out of place to recite a short history
of the Western Hospital. Work
was commenced upon the building
July l, 1885, completed November
/, 1889, opened for the reception of
patients November %, 1889. Its
first Superintendent was DR.. j. B.
Jones, who died shortly after his
election. He was succeeded by his
assistant, the present Superintend-
ent. The legislature of Tennessee
appropriated about $3.50, 100000 for
the construction of the building. In
1895, an additional appropriation
was made for the erection of an An
mex, to be used for colored patients.
At different times various sums have
been appropriated for improvements
and for identifying the grounds.
Hundreds of acres, surrounding the
Hospital, the property of the State,
have been brought up to high state
of cultivation, principally by labor
of the patients, aud the result is that
the institution is in large measure
self supporting. At present, 588
unfortunate people are cared for by
this noble charity.
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.
TO tie visitor, the appointments
of the building seem perfect, but
improvements are needed. At
present the Hospital is crowded |
An effort will be made to get an APP
preparation to build an associate |
dining room. The present dining
rooms, with capacity to accommo-
date 100 patients, could be convert
ed into dormitories at a much less
cost than a separate Hospital could |
be built for that number of patients.
If the appropriation is allowed, the
the associate dining room will be To-
Gated about 800 feet south of the
main building, centrally located be
tween the male and female wards.
One-third of the deaths which
have occurred at the Hospital with
in the past two years, have been
caused from consumption, and the
dreaded, deadly disease continues
to increase. A separate ward is
needed for patients with contagious
diseases. They should be isolated
and not allowed to come in contact
with other patients.
A spur track from the depot to
he III ospital will be asked for. The
part of the grading can
be done by labor of the patients.
The result will be an immense saw
ng to the state in the way of
,reight rates.

Christensen, the wife of the missing man,

written, was out at the asylum

were trumped up by the Sidney man. to

the hospital. and who had vowed to get
even on the management. l have made
animus of the whole affair.
Il do not quite approve of the apparently
lax manner in which the parole system Is
managed at the. hospital The present
method has been in practice for years and,
IN my Judgment, 1t is a little irregular.
When the present board took hold, about
sixty of the patients We're enjoying the
parole system-that is, given liberties. de-
pendent on good behavior, not allowed to
other patients. l am inclined to think
tenn may be. effective in the cure of pa
tients, but the system has been curtailed
by the present board.
1T may be possible that DR.. Goddard
has been, little lax, but | think that not
he but the system 1t at fault. DIR. God
dard has proven very efficient superin-
tendent, and the board of control has been
entirely satisfied with his management"

Gov Rogers assumed office. He is a
Populist and a resident of Tacoma. In
1894 he was nominated by Populist con-
vention for mayor of Tacoma. the Re-
publican candidate being r. s. Orr and the
Democratic candidate A. v. Fawcett. DIR.
Goddard was formally Endorsed by the
united A. p. A. councils of the city, but
was defeated.
Thereafter he continued to be a leader
of the Pierce county Populists, and was
understood to have rendered active serv-
fee to the fusion party during the cam
paign of 1896, when the fusionists elected
Mr.. Rogers governor.
DIR. Redpath and DR.. j. B. Loughary,
the former now resident of Olympia and
the latter practitioner of this city, were
members Of the staff at the Steilacoom
asylum when Gov. Rogers was installed.
DR.. Redpath resigned and when DIR. God
dard assumed charge practically the only
experienced scientific man in the institu-
ton who was familiar with the work of
the hospital was DR.. Loughary,
The latter remained only short time,
as the records will show. The board of
audit and control, 1t Is alleged, lost no
time In getting the run of the positions to
be filled at Steilacoom. and many changes
were made. DIR. Waughop, the former SUI

Rogers main political adviser. was said
to be friend of DR.. Angus. Dr. Goddard,
on the other hand, 1t is said. was not dis
posed to favor the appointment of DR..
Angus to the position he sought. namely
that of assistant superintendent. Mr..
Snively's influence, however, appeared to
be strong with the governor. and DR.. An
gus was appointed.
His stay in office was of short duration,
however. While there was no open rup-
ture between DR.. Goddard and his assist
ant. 1t is stated by reliable persons that
matters did not run with smoothness. FL
nally DIR. Angus was retired.
Thereafter DR.. c. w. Schafer, formerly
county physician of Pierce county and
practitioner of recognized standing. was
made a member of the staff at Stella
COON. His term of office was not long
one There was, II is said, more or less
working at cross purposes. Finally DR..

No action by Gov. Rogers in reference
to the Christianson case has yet been ia
ken, as far as known. Mrs. Christianson
has undertaken to learn from the authori-
ties at Steilacoom further particulars of
the escape of her husband from the asy-
lum September 10 last. The matter has,
II IL stated, been brought to the attention
of Gov. Rogers. but whether he intends
making an investigation is not known.
