To the Board of Managers of the Alex

Ladies:-Again it becom my plees-
ing duty to report the workings OF the
Alexandria Infirmary for the period Of
Two moDths.
When 1 entered upon my service in
January there were fourteen patients
resdmitted.
During the two months there were
thirty new patients admitted, making
10 al in Inc hospital Of forty-four.
OF thtsa, eighteen were cured, two
improved. TWO sent 10 other hospitals,
and two deaths, one of these being lit
lie Maggie Brown, whose death was
dus TO tubercular disease. The ef
fcieUcy aud marked politeness Of the
little doorkeeper will cause her to be
remembered very kindly by the lady
managers and the various members of
the medical staff.
When I made my report last year 1
thought il would be the last opportunity
/ would have for some time to COM
ment on the beautiful changes that had
taken place during the previous year,
but, EN- 10 the same position today
that l was at similar time last year.
The changes that have taken place
have been OF q most marked charac
ter.
Our hospital is today thing of beau"
~, and blending, as it does, utility it
must indeed be joy forever, end l am
fully convinced that as long as the pres

BELLB0Y FINDS GOLD.
Once in Pennry. Now in Aflluence
Good Luck in Klondike.

Earl F. Sawdey. an erstwhile bellboy
in a San Francisco hotel, and one who
has been acquainted with utter want
and restitution, having, two years ago,
sought sleeping quarters in McCoy's
livery stable, is now in afiluence, and is
stopping at the Kenyon. one Of the
wealthiest yet most unassuming guests
OF that hotel The story Of Mr.. Saw
dey's rise in the world Is an interesting
one. for there are none who do not re-
joince over his good fortune. Soon af-
ter departing from salt Lake, over
year ago, he made his way to Alaska,
finally arriving at Dawson city, where
he was grubstaked. He did well at that
place. and In the early part OF last sum-
mer set out for the Cape Nome district,
In company with a man who had al
ready achieved considerable fame as
gold hunter, on whom the gods smiled.
The two wasted no time. but promptly
staked out claims along the beach and
set 10 work In earnest. They now have
$4,000 each, as the fruit OF their per-
tlnacty. Their claims now. were they
inclined 10 sell them, could be disposed
OF FOR large sum.
Mr., Sawdey states that II is difficult
now Il get a claim near the water, as
the entire beach for margin OF fifteen
miles Of the cape Is staked out and be-
ing worked. Blu, there is a large dis
trict back OF that which has not been
touched. which he thinks Will prove as
rich a field as that which is now being
worked.
Sawdey says that there will be a
great rush 70 the Cape Nome district
in the spring, there being a large num-
Der who came down TO spend the win.
ter, and who will return just as quick
as spring opens up.
A wharf Is being built now ont OF
Anvil City, so that steamers can dis
charge directly without having to 90
through the Tightening process, because
the beach Is so shallow that no vessel
can get within half a mile OF the shore.
He speaks well Of the climate up there,
avowIng that he has suffered more from
cold In this country than he has In
Alaska. He fixes this years output OF
gold treasure for that district at $780,
100000.
Sawdey is the recipient Of hearty con-
gratulations from his many friends
