TWO VICTIMS OF CIGARETTES
One Roy Dead and Another Dying
From Excessive Smoking

CHESTER, Pa, Jan. 11-Cigarettes kill
ed twelve -year-old William Stilley. That
is the official decision of Coroner Fry.
Young Stilley, who lived at Eddystone near
here, died under peculiar circumstances,
and it was first thought that he had been
poisoned. pcstmortem was ordered, and
the result has just been made public.
1t developed that the boy, although OF
tender years, smoked two boxes of cigar
cites a day. Through this indulgence he
developed a tumor in the throat. The cause
of his death, however, the coroner's ply
sician maintains, was excessive smoking,
the childs system being thoroughly i'm
pregnated with nicotine.

a victim of cigarettes, in the general hes
pital here. The boy, who has no home

the Western Union, taking compassion on
him, gave him work as night messenger
He had an uncomfortable mania, however
for cigarette smoking, and all his wages,
except what money he spent for food at
lunch wagons. went for cigarettes.

Each day so far this week has been a
repetition of the day before in the stock
market This morning was almost as dull
as yesterday with buying small. and fuct-
uationS unimporLant. The tone of the
market was a triie better perhaps and in
few securities there was a little activity
and an advance Of n point or more in price
Nothing in the situation points to an i'm
mediate resumption of activity or an early
large advance in prices such as is expected
ultimately as the result OF present bullish
conditions. The Street is waiting for
news from South Africa. II this news is

that there will be a fine boom in prices
which may completely turn the current OF
the market in an upward direction.

Hospitals for Clinical study.

Public hospitals. like the Freedman's,
Columbia. and the wards connected with
the Washington Asylum. should be open
to medical students for clinical instruc-
ton. since they are, after all, not only in
tended for the reception of the sick and
wour1ed. but likewise constitute the train
ing school for the future family physician.
The Chidren's Garfield. and Provi-
dence hospitals. although owned by cor
poratiOns are practically open TO medical
students.
.-On the whole the committee believes
that the plan thus briefly outlined viii be
a satisfactory solution of the hospital and
dispensary question in this city. The
Government would be the gamer. because
il would rot be under the necessity of
erecting a municipal hospital and dupli-
cate as il were the work of existing we'll
equipped hospitals. nor would it diScour-
age benevolent enterprise, for in spite of
many abuses il must be admitted that
immense good has been accomplished by
char;tably disposed men and women in
providing for those who naturally shrink
frcm being regarded as objects OF public
charity.
"In our opinion private charity would
be seriously impeded if the Government
assumed all the burdens.
Properly equipped municipal or county
hospitals are expensive institutions, and,
apart from The odium connected with being
an inmate Of a county hospital, it is much
better 10 have the sick poor cared for in
hospitals located in different sections of
the city because of easier access and the
prevention OF crowd poisoning. which can
scarcely be avoided when so many sick are
aggregated under one roof
Hospital and dispensary boards ought
not to expect public support unless they
comply with the requirements of the CEN
tral agency of the Government and merit
alone should be The key to the public funds.
The advantages Of tie proposed plan are:
That hospitals owned and wholly, or TO
great extent supported by the Govern
menU would be under the control or the
municipal authorities.
Specific appropriations for hospitals and
dispensareS owned and controlled by sec
tartan or corporate bodies would cease, but
the state simply pays for the care and
treatment Of INDECENT sick and not for the
extension and completion of institutions
originated by benevolent enterprise. 1t
matters little 10 humanity and good gov
ernment whether a hospital caring for the
sick poor is a memorial hospital, chill
dren's hospital college hospital or a sec
tartan hoSplJai. so long as lne dGJhoIilleS
have the satisfaction of knowing that the
money has been expended for the benefit
of deserving sick poor admitted by proper
authority and that the sick are properly
and economically cared for.
1t is clearly the duty Of the state TO dis
courage pauperism; and one of the chief
functions of the board of charities. through
its paid agents, should be 10 prevent the
admission of unworthy cases, but to eX
tend a willing hand and even seek those
who in their sturdy, self-asserting man
hood prefer suffering to charity"

ish at the expense of the medical profess
sion.
We cannot formulate rules for or dictate
to hospital and dispensary boards, or direct
those intrusted with the disbursement of
public funds appropriated for the relief OF
INDECENT sick how this money shall be
expended. but we claim the right to make
rules for the guidance of our professional
brethren, which if enforced will not only
protect their interests, but incidentally also
the public Treasury.
IF proper control had been exercised,
hospital and dispensary abuses would not
exist and these rules would never have be-
come necessary; and as the remedy lies,
perhaps, within the scope of your inyestiga-
tion, we beg to submit the following views
for your consideration:
The subject OF hospital management in
this city might be simplifed by placing all
hospitals (owned and supported by public
funds) under the control of the municipal
government, preferably under the immedi-
ate supervision of a board of charities,
with q competent executive officer.
AS the accommodations in these hospi-
tails are insufficient to care for all the indi-
gent sick, other provisions are necessary.
These, in our judgment, ought not to be
made by making specific and direct appro-
priatiOns for any particular hospital, but
an adequate sum should be appropriated
to be expended under the supervision of a
central agency (such as a board of chari-
tiesl. and il should be the duty of this
board TO determine which of the existing
hospitals are properly equipped, and then
pay a stipulated amount per day for every
poor patient admitted by its order; such
orders should constitute the vouchers Of
the hospital for monthly bills. 1t is pre-
sumed of course. that this central agency
requires evidence of dependency. and viii
satisfy itself by frequent inspections that
the public patients are properly cared Tor
There should doubtless be an emer-
gency department connected with the va
riOus hospitals, one in the east, west
north. and south. and because Of the pc
culiar nature of such a service the actual
cost of maintenance should be betrayed
from public funds. The central agency
should also recommend appropriations for
the support of free dispensaries. located.
like the hospitals, in readily accessible
sections, with due regard to their respee-
tive population and needs. and should pre-
scribe such rules as viii limit the work
TO the dependent class only. Under no cir
cumstances should the system of charging
a small fee be introduced. as il viii be a
hardship to the real poor and a guise for
fraudulent applicants.
