THE NORFOLK PROTESTANT
HOSPITAL.
KIND WORDS FROM sEABoARD
MEDICAL JOURNAL.


The following Is taken from the Sea-
board Medical Journal:
Norfolk needs two thoroughly
equipped public modern hospitals. This
Will be acknowledged by every one who
understands the situation. AS 1t is
now. she has practically one in opera
ton. No city of Norfols's size sup
ports less than from three to five insti-
tutions of the kind In the country.
The Norfolk. Protestant Hospital is
now taxed to Its utmost capacity, and
is begging for recognition from the
public TO increase Its space. The mat
ter as 1t now stands is anything but
satisfactory to the management, and
should hearty response In the way
of contributions be given it the new
building under contemplation will be-
come fact in short while. Strange
to say, the Board OF Directors have not
met with the encouragement it de-
serves, and it surprises many to know
how indifferently the public has accept
ed the situation. 1t Will only require
few thousand dollars in addition to the
money now on hand to start the enter
prise. The present Protestant Hospital
has as fine facilities for the accommo-
dation of a limited number OF patients
as you will find anywhere, but no in
stitution of this kind can run legiti-
mate and successful course upon n con-
tracted basis. hence the necessity for
more liberal financial recognition.
Norfolk must have large Protestant
Hospital. Humanity begs for 1t, and
the requisition must be filled.
The Journal takes great pleasure in
endorsing the above. and trusts that
llberality of spirit. which has all along
characterized Norfolk, will apply In the
fullest sense to this movement Any
one wishing to endow a ward or donate
FUNDS will make checks payable to the
Norfolk Protestant Hospital Fund,
Norfolk, Va
In connection with the above the
Following Is communicated to The Vlr-
ginlan-Pilot:
The public should not forget the fact
that the Norfolk Protestant Hospital,
then known as the Retreat for the
Sick" was the factor in Introducing
the training school for nurses into our
city. and Is the Alma Mater of many
of the trained nurses, who bring a
benediction into the sick rooms of our
homes.

Cissie LOTUS, the celebrated English
mimic, is the stellar attraction at the
Grand for this week. where she will be
seen in her latest approximations. One
of the most attractive features of her worn
is the fact that she rever affects disguise
or makeup to assist her in the portrayal OF
the characters she represents. but depends
entirely upon her wonderful powers oil
minicry to attain the result. II is this
simplicity of attire that brings her so close
10 her audience; the actress is effaced and
only the little lady remains 10 charm with
her delightful work. She has 50 much call
upon her time that it only after a
great deal 81 negotiation that she was per-
suaded to come to Washington. In a5di-
ton TO Miss LOTUS the ever popular Grand
will present this week Mason and Francis.

in fanciful and original creations; the
great Goldin, q comedy magician; the
