THE new HOSPITAL
Furnished For the Soldiers
by Gen. Carr.
He Spends Some $4,000 In Property Equip
ping Hospital For Sick Veterans at
the Home.

Mr. Miles Goodwin, of the Royal & Bor-
Durham yesterday, where he sold to Col.
Julian S. Carr large bill for furnishing
the hospital for the Soldiers Home in
Raleigh. At the recent meeting OF the
Veterans Association OF North Carolina it
was stated that the new hospital erected
for the Soldiers Home was ready for oc-
cupancy, but that there was no money
with which to furnish it, and it would
not be used until the money could be
raised, whereupon Gen. Julian S. Carr,
of Durham, stated that there ought to be
no delay in the use of the much-needed
hospital and that he would personally
meet all the expense necessary for fur
nishing the hospital himself and present
the furniture, etc, to the Home. That
announcement was received with applause
by the veterans both in the meeting and
all over the State.
The order given to the Royal & Borden
Furniture Company for furnishing the hos
pita1 included fifty iron beds, fifty iron
springs, fifty felt mattresses, one dozen
tables, one dozen large arm chairs, four
dozen cane seat chairs. fifty toilet SETS
dining room tables, high-back dining
chairs. General Carr will also furnish
the linen and bedding for the hospital,
which can then be used by the old SOL
diers. 1t will now be only a short while
before the hospital, long and badly need
ed by the inmates of the Home, can be
used. Thus one more step is taken that
will add to the comfort of the brave
men who followed Lee and Jackson.
Nothing is too good for them, and it is
gratifying totsee prosperous soldier like
General Carr add to the comfort OF his
old comrades in arms.
The furnishing Of the hospital will cost
about SO. 700.
The hosaita1 is model of it's kind. is
1O4x84 feet, with four wards, each 33xlS
feet, and a sun parlor, 46x30 feet There
is q reception room and lobby, each
sx-sded, the former under cupola
which rises 25 feet and there is dining
room, almost triangular. The hospital
building is complete All the interior
wood work is pine in natural color, the
floors and wainscoting heavily polished
The ventilation and the lighting are adj
mirably arranged. In each ward there is
a fire place, bath room and closet and
also a closet for clothing
The old dining room has been re-
painted. The grounds look quite neat and
are bright with flowers. There is now a
large garden, which during the year has
furnished all the vegetables needed, and
in great variety.
The Legislature now gives $4,000 veal
to the Home. 1t last year gave $4,000 fol
the hospital and for various improve
ments. The Legislature will be asked
for $4,000, so as to provide for $50 to III
inmates. OF course, as the years pass
the Home will become more and more {
hospital. In say fifteen years, or twenty
at most, its use will almost be at an end
The hospital will give room for number
of veterans in the present quarters.

HANGING TOO GOOD FOR THEM.
That is What New Jersey Methodist Preacher
Says of Trust Magnates.
Special to the WORLDLY

VineIand. NJ j.. Oct Rev DR..
Ward Gamble made last night a bitter
attack on the trusts at the-First Meth
odist Episcopal Church. One of his sen
sational remarks was that hanging is
too good for trust magnate. He de-
clared the monstrous growth of combina-
lions of capital for the prevention of COM
petition in trade was fast undermining
the institutions of this republic and
bringing the people to a condition of
chattel slavery. He urged the people to
rise in their might and smash the vicious
trusts before it would be too late. lie
said:
"When four or five men get together
and place the price upon labor for pro-
ducing the necessities Of life and then
dictate the selling price of the finished
production it is a most wicked conspira-
cy against the welfare of humanity and
no punishment is too severe for the
scoundrels.
81 say that hanging is too good for
the trust magnate that stands on a
mountain of coal in Pennsylvania that God
meant for the benefit of all his children,
pays starving wages to the miners who
risk their lives to go into the bowels OF
the earth and then dictates the price on
coal SO that it robs all the people and
causes untold suffering among the poor
for the want of fuel.
81 say, with full realization of my ut
terances and with my blood running warm
when / think of it, that hanging is too
good a punishment for such a man.
Witness the deplorable situation OF
applying like fawning supplicant to one
man in Wall street, as was done few
days ago, to stop strike Of such large
proportions that it becomes of national
Importance Yet such is the present sit
uation. If one man has the power over
railroads and trusts to stop strike OF
such magnitude, he has the power TO
bring on a strike of such gigantic pro-
portions by robbing and starving the
werkmen.
81 have been to the anthracite coal re-
gion Of Pennsylvania and investigated the
conditions which brought on the strike,
said DR.. Gamble in conclusion, "and when
I say that the miners are paid starving
wages and treated more like dumb brutes
than men, l know what / am talking

Every day adds to the list OF deaths
attributed to heart failure. If the
truth were told the bulk of these
deaths might be written down as due
to stomach failure. For it is IN the
failure of the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition, that WEAK y
heart, vweak . lungs, vweak nerves and
other forms of physical deterioration
having their beginning. The man whose
stomach is sound, who can digest and
assimilate the food he eats, and so keep
each organ of the body we'll nourished,
is the man who is least liable to collapse
under the sudden weakness of some
vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol-.
lows the use of DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, is chiefly due to the
fact that it perfectly and permanently
cures diseases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifes the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the body. Weak people will find in this
medicine sure means of strength.

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common Dis
ease.

ease.
Mark Twains cure for a cold in the
head was simple, but he claims very eff
fective in his own case; his plan was to
eat nothing whatever for twenty-four
hours or presumably until the trouble had
disappeared.
Although not able to speak from per-
sonal experience as to the effectiveness Of
this treatment. it certainly has the merit
of extreme economy; but it occurs to us
that the application of it to case Of
nasal catarrh might be attended with
difficulties.
Catarrh, as every one knows, is a
chronic cold in the head and Mr.. Twain's
treatment, if it should become fad,
would make of us a nation of fasters; an
army, emulating the example of the i'm
mortal Tanner who achieved worldwide
fame by fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming ma
tional disease and there is little doubt
but that errors in diet, particularly over
eating is very common cause.
Most people, however, are more in
terested in the cure of the trouble than
in the cause, and modern medical science
has produced more effective and less he
w
Guaiacol is new remedy, very effec-
tive in some forms of Catarrh Eucalyp-
toll is another which on account of its
antiseptic properties is very valuable,
while many severe cases of Chronic Ca
tarrh have been entirely cured by the
sanguinaria or extract of Blood root
alone.
Within year an enterprising chemist
has combined all of these remedies in
tablet form, palatable and convenient and
the superiority of this tablet over other
catarrh remedies is so apparent that all
druggists now carry them in stock to
supply the popular demand.
They are called Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets and it is doubtful if any medicine
has achieved a national popularity in so
short a time as this.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by
thousands of travelling men because they
can be carried in the pocket and used any
time and in any quantity being free from
Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat from
the disgusting secretions OF catarrh, very
often in few hours time.
For nasal Catarrh they are far supe-
rior to any wash, lotion or ointment the
use of which is aften as inconvenient and
annoying as the disease itself.
For coughs. cold, bronchial catarrh and
catarrh of the stomach these tablets give
immediate relief and a permanent cure
where lotions, douches and inhalers make
no imphession whatever.
This preparation is boon to catarrh
sufferers and any duggist will tell you
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a rem
edy that has come to stay.
