Hillman Hospital

The Hillman hospital is the oldest hos pital in Birmingham, and that it weilds the greatest Influence has been emphas sized in the mighty response of the people of Br- mingham and the suburban towns to the recent appeal for united action to be taken for the purpose of raising funds for a new hospital building. At recent mass meeting of women called for this purpose at the First Methodist church, there was such enthusiasm and such unanimity of purpose In evidence. that an organization to be known ts the United Workers of the Hill man Hospital Association was immediately formed. The movement extended far be- yond the city limits, and the prominent women in the suburban towns began at once to cooperate with Birmingham wo- men in this great work. The result has been that mighty army of women are busily engaged with the plans for a man. moth entertainment to be given this winter for the benefit of the new hospital building
 The present building Is wholly inade- quate to meet the demands made daily up- on it. The site upon which 1t is located Is convenient and desirable from every point of view, and when the magnificent new building Is erected thereon, Birmingham will feel that in her splendid hospital fa- cilitfes she Is the equal of the older and larger cities. The present hospital is To- cated at Fourth avenue and Eighteenth 'street. Its principal income Is from a be- quest grHnted by MT T. T. Hillman. The city makes a monthly appropriation, and there are individuals who give of their private incomes. The officers of the Hill- man hospital are as follows:
 President-Mrs. J. Morgan Smith. Vice President-Mrs. L. F. Stratton.
 Secretary-Mrs. T. O. Smith.
 Treasurer-Mrs. T. H. Motion.
 Matron-Miss Otto.
 Board of Managers--Mesdames F. G. Shepherd, c. Tyson, Morris Marx, Henry Barnard A. H. Benners. F. w. Fucker, E. T.. Randall. Joseph McLester and c. Mortimer Williams and the officers above mentioned.

St. vineent,s Hospital

Birmingham will be city noted for the magnifcenee of it's hospitals. The superb new hospital of the Sisters of Charity, now nearing completion, is in point of architec- tural beauty, of modern equipment, pre- eminently, the peer of any hospital in the south.
 St vincents', or the Sisters of Charity hospital, was located in Birmingham more than a year ago. The temporary quarters are in the Debardeleben mansion, and while the Sisters have accomplished great deal of good in caring for the sick, the demands made upon them have been far greater than could be satisfied in their present quarters. The new building that will be formally opened in the early au- tumn is located at Avenue and Twenty second street, one of the most command ing sites in the city. The hospital is built of brick and stone, the plans calling TOT an administration building with wings to be connected1with the main building. The hos pital will contain both private and charity wards Its interior will be as perfect in its furnishings as it is complete in its construction. There will be an amphithe- atre with a seating capacity for two hum dred sttidents The hospital will maintain training school for nurses. The operating and sterilizing rooms will be equipped with the latest appliances, and the hospital will be complete in every detail The grounds are being graded, and will be probably the handsomest of any hospital in the south. The entrance to the building Is in colonial design. and the main corridors are or mar ble. The balconies will be enclosed with windows of. stained glass, which from the lights within will cause the hospital to pre- sent the appearance to some extent of lighted cathedral. When the additional wings called for in the plans are added, the hospital will represent an expenditure or a half million dollars. St. Vincenrs Is non- sectarian.i and cares for the i'll irrespective of color or creed.
 An auxiliary to the hospital, composed Of A. number of prominent Birmingham wo- men, Is devoted to raising funds Tor the furnishing of the charity wards. The oi- flcers are;
 President-Mrs. M. Clifford.
 Secretary-Mrs. J. L. Welch.
 Treasurer-Mrs. Peyton G. Bowman.

The Nj ercy Home


 For thef protection and assistance Of frIendless women and children in Alabama is inc object of the Mercy Home of Birm- inoham. established eight years ago py inc Women's Christian Temperance Union
 The temporary quarters occupied by the hoY,,a for a number of years were wholly in- adequate for the demands made upon the t institution, and each year empnasized the dire need of a commodious building, for with Birmingham's marvellous growth and development came the problem that con fronts the great cities-that of sheltering tbe hundreds of friendless women and children that people its degraded districts This work, undertaken by prominent wo- men recognized as leaders in philanthropy, aroused public sentiment to Its needs. and after years of labor on the part of the hoard of managers, the Mercy Home stood unon the threshold of a new existence
 In April, 1s99 the handsome new building located at the northwest corner of Eleventh avenue and Twenty-second street, north, was formally opened. It is built of brick and stone, is three stories high and Is equipped with all modern conveniences. The ultimate aim Is to teach the women all

Murphy, Democrat. was the second
member appointed.
At Tuesday afternoons meeting of
the grand lodge the law committee re-
ported in favor of a suicide clause
The clause provides that the inSur-
ance shall not be paid when the holder
of the policy commits suicide unless the
act be caused by insanity or some other
extenuating circumstances. c. w.
Hawkins submitted a minority report
recommending that death claims be
paid with no question a to how the de-
ceased came to his death. Grand Mas
ter Order and Webb McNau were
among those who favored the clause.
The report brought out a long discus
sion. The principal question to be de-
cided during the session is whether the
per capita tax shall be increased or not.
At present it is sips but the costs of
having deputies and paying premiums
to get new members is expensive al
though satisfactory. The tax must be
away with. In speaking of the tax,
Grand Recorder Forde said:
ITO raise the per capita tax will re-
suit in a great deal of harm, and yet it
will be absolutely necessary TO do it if
the present deputy system and grand
lodge premium of 81 continue. The per
capita tax could be allowed to remain
where it is. namely. 81. 25, and both sys-
TENS continue if the laws We're amend
ed so as to make half of this premium
payable by the applicant. l am not
so sure but what this can be success
fully done in this state. Lodges could
be required to remit, for the beneficiary
certificate fee, the sum of 81 50 instead
of so cents only. The subordinate lodge
could either provide for a 81 initiation
fee, to be paid by the applicant, or, if
the finances of the subordinate lodge
would permit, and they deemed it best
to do 50, the 81 additional, or a part
thereof, could be paid from the general
fund instead of being collected from
the applicant. This occurs to me as
suggestion as to a way to avoid the
difficulty. OF course the grand lodge
premiums could be reduced to 81, but if
it were done we would no longer secure
the services of the deputies nor would
there be as much work done by the
members of subordinate lodges to Sc
cure new members where the reward
Off such effort was only 81 instead of
