SUCCESS OF A FoRMA CORNWALL MER,

While making tour around New Ha.
ven, the other day, representative OF
THE BEE ran across Charles M. Hall, a
former proprietor of the West Cornwall
Emporium, now carried on by r. r.
Smith. Two or three years ago the
scribe was in New Haven and found Mr.
Hall in business on Broadway in New
Haven with a partner. Since then MI
Hall has bought out his partner, taken
In an adjoining store, and is now doing
business under the name of the Broad
way Department store. Mr. Hall evident
ly chose an excellent location, increasing
in business way, at Broadway and
York Square. Mr. Hall courteously
showed the reporter about his attractive
store. His lines include millinery. drv
goods, ladies' and mems furnishings, sta.
tionery, jewelry, confectionery, fancy
goods, school supplies, notions. He has
put in very handsome soda fountain
and also dispenses ice cream. Mr. Hall
has capable assistant in his nephew,
Frank W. Hall, while his sister is also
with him. Since locating In New Haven
Mr. Hall has made a host of friends.
while goodly number of former ac.
Quaintances in the Housatonic valley drop
in now and then to sample the bargains
at the Broadway store. Mr. Hall did not
expect to do as well as he has when he
went to New Haven, and his friends be-
lieve that with his natural push and en-
ergY, still larger success awaits him.

high heeled shoes, crutches, wheeled
chairs, nursing bottles and always
dozen at one order, and table china,
which all housekeepers know 80 often
need replenishing. To say nothing Of
the absolute necessity of keeping the
ward spotless, and during this year over
800 has been paid out alone for rem
ovating and cleaning. The ward matron
is sustained at the expense Of the staff
and Is a most e hcient caretaker. The
cots and cribs are mostly memorials and
the small sum paid thus to name them,
with the membership fees which are 81
yearly and $5 for the patronesses, few
donations, a yearly Easter party, and
one very successful lawn fete have been
the only financial assistance received.
No one has by will or otherwise en-
dowed the ward or even given free bed,
which would be Of great value to the
officers of the staff.
The time has come when some action
must be taken and the IL beds (the
capacity of the present ward) increased,
so that the necessity of refusing admig-
sion to children needing medical or sur
gical care be a difficulty overcome. The
little sufferers are not Bridgeport chill
dren only, as patients come from all over
Fairfield county. A little Stamford child
has occupied bed in the ward this win
ter, % his disease could not be treated
at his home hospital for his ailment was
one often beyond the general practitioner
and needed a specialists care. IE has
been the pleasure of the Woman's Staff
to minister to little ones from Newtown,
your village, whose hospitality we are
so thoroughly enjoying, and we hope to
interest you, to-day, and to arouse an
active sympathy in the work of the chill
dren's.ward all over the county, so that
you will aid as in making the imperative
permanent improvements and by so as
sisting you will feel that you have per-
sonal pride and responsibility in the ad-
vancement Of the work. Is there O
charity more noble, or one that appeals
80 closely to woman's nature. to human
nature, than the desire to relieve sick
and suffering little ones, to strengthen
and straighten poor diseased and crippled
limbs and to make the surroundings of
the unfortunate as bright and cheerful
as possible during the term Of their en-
forced confinement in the ward? To
carry out this charity the staff is striving,
and to simplify the work committees
were formed, and will briefly show the
needs Of each, which will give you an
idea of what department you would care
t. help, and in so doing perhaps enable
you to assist in relievin & the sufferings of
some Of your own little town folk.

BRIDGEPORT HOsPITAL.
October 3, 1897, u ladies Of Bridge
port interested in good works, and es-
pec'ally in work among the poor and
suffering children OF the city, met and
discussed the proposition made to one of
the ladies by leading physician, that of
becoming Interested in children's ward
IN the Bridgeport hospital, never hitherto
established. Plans OF organic alton were
laid, the main obi sct settled and the fact
OF the ward being reality was decided
upon. The hospital authorities cooper
ated heartily and provided the room suit-
ed to the need and the then organic I'D
"Woman's Hospital staff for Children's
Ward" was duly authorized in writing,
to supply cots and cribs, blankets, sheets,
kinds and to equip the ward as desired.
An adj dining room was also given for
a dining room for the tiny patients, and
soon under the care Of strong committees
the temporary home for sick little ones
was made attractive and practically ar
rsngedfor use.
On Easter Monday, April 10, 1895, 1t
was thrown open to the public for in
spection and the first patient received.
For six years the work has gone on and
each year Increases in its demands and
the ward, like many six year old, has
outgrown its clothes and feels the need
Of more room. A new wing which will
afford accommodation for at least IS is
greatly needed, with piazzas for the use
Of recuperatinR patients and recovery
and an Isolation ward, also room where
surgical dressing and the like can be APP
piled, and two proper toilet rooms, and
another for dining purposes. This must
be arranged for at once as the present
ward is too crowded for truly sanitary
arrangement, the air space between the
beds too limited for the health of the
little patients. You ask what are the
needs? The new wing and means to fur
nish and support It. The class Of chill
dren coming into the ward are often of
the very poorest, 80 there must be ward
robes full of all sizes and everything lit
tie ones need, from clothing for day old
baby to the twelve year size. The staff
furnishes the bedding and towels and
many are needed. Then an expensive de-
mand ls that Of surgical supplies, braces,

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON IT MUST REMAIN.
In reference to changing the postt flee
name at the Station, it is only necessary
to say that Washington 1t was christened,
Washington it must remain with some
kind of an attachment. As Washington
on the Green is the "original Jacobs"
then Washington No will satisfy all re-
quirements. AS Mr. Dooley would say,
we shall have Washington the wonst and
Washington the second.

A POOR HAY CROP.

Last season the light hay crop was re-
inforced by old hay saved over from the
abundant crop Of the previous year. This
season indications are that the crop won't
be any heavier than last year, and we
have no old hay to fall back on. There
is more than faint probability that hay
will cost $40 per ton next season. The
ground being so dry when it frozs up last
season accounts for the poor crop this
season.

Since that time nothing has been heard
of him. His accounts both at the bank
and as administrator of an estate of
which he had charge, are perfectly
straight, and the only reason that can
be assigned for his mysterious disap-
