FIELD CLUB DEFEATED.

1t was fast and hot game of ball
between the Morristown Field Club
and the Crescent Athletic Club at
Bay Ridge, Saturday, and the Ores
cents won by a score of 100. completely
shutting out the Morristown boys.
The game was all right up to the
ninth inning and at that time stood
40 for the Crescents. But in the last
White went to pieces and the Ores
cents piled up six runs. The work Of
Stephenson was little short of marvel
GUS. The Field Club boys were unable
to connect with his delivery success
fully and so made only two hits in
the whole game. White did good work
too, holding down the Crescents for
only seven hits.

Fifty yrars ago efficient police pro-

was made Tor cleaning the streets or

by the cSlS,neles Of urban life. The

wrctchcd IN character. aud the means
of transportation offered TO the urban

Municipal Ownership.

From statistics gathered by Profess.
or Ely 1t is shown that there Is saw
ing under public ownership of from
lOO to 600 per cent. If it be true that
the welfare of the whole people is
greater than that of few, then it sure
ly should be our duty to strive for mu-
nicipal ownership of all public utili-
ties In order that this saving should 90
into the public treasury for the benefit
OF all. To accommodate this we must
have the public mind educated to this
idea. The moment that the public
mind realizes the economic and moral
advantages of municipal ownership
then the main obstacle will be removed.

COST OF A HOSPITAL.
One Dollar Per Head of Population
Would BE ADEQUATE.


superintendent j. G. Burt of the
Hahnemann hospital of Chicago, dis
cussing the question of public hospitals
for small cities, said:
"The management of hospital
should be vested in board of trustees
OF ten or more men, whose authority
and control are supreme. The super
intendent of hospital should be the
chief executive officer and the financial
agent of the trustees and should be
responsible to them for the conduct of
all its internal affairs, for it's efficiency
and for the economy and success of
the internal management. He should
appoint all subordinates and assign
them their respective duties and have
authority over every one in the in
stitution, including the internes and
nurses. Hospitals that are not finan-
cially able to employ a superintendent
may employ a trained nurse, whose
authority should be the same in every
respect as that of a superintendent.
Hospitals should have sufficient en-
dowments to meet the loss incident to
the free work, as all hospitals are nee
essarily charitable institutions pure
and simple. The hospital is fast being
recognized as one of the greatest or
ganized means of modern charity.
"As to construction, hospitals should
be built with due regard to sanitary
surroundings, of modern fireproof ma
terial, with detached receiving and ex-
aiming wards and an isolation ward.
The operating wards should be in an
annex, and 1t is desirable to have a
separate building for the nurses and
employees. OF course, in the small
cities it may not be possible to have
all these accommodations, but the
plans of construction should be as
nearly upon these lines as the finances
will permit. A thousand dollars should
be provided for every thousand of pop
ulation when preparing for the erection
Of the hospitals"

A UNIQUE STATE.
Texas Has Paid Allegiance to the
Flags of Six Nations.

Texas Has Paid Allegiance to the
Flags of Six Nations.
Scarcely another state in the union
has as remarkable and interesting a
history as Texas. In one respect at
least it occupies unique position in
the history of American states. Since
its discovery six different governments
have at different times claimed its al
legiance, and as many different flags
have waved over it, those of France
Spain, Mexico, Independent Texas, the
United States and the Confederate
states.
The foundations Of Texas statehood
were not laid as British colony, nor
under the grant or control of the Brit
ish crown, as were those of the original
thirteen states. Its first settlement
dates back more than 200 years, and its
first American colonists went there
under terms and conditions imposed
by foreign state, to whose language,
laws and institutions they were total
strangers. There never was. there
never could be, any sympathy between
these first American colonists and the
Mexican government under the old
regime. Separated by vast wilder.
nesses from the people of the United
States, and unaided save by the in.
dividual efforts of sympathizing breth-
rem therein, these colonists declared
their independence, established 1t with
the sword, and for nine years main
tanned stable republic.
Texas was neither purchased nor
conquered for the union. Annexation
to the United States was accomplished
through treaty made by Texas repre-
sentatlves and ratified by the free
suffrage of the citizens. No other
state in the Union has had such varied
experience or sailed through such
stormy seas into the haven of peace
and prosperity.-St Louis Globe Demo
