Sad shooting accident at Hall Quarry
Last Friday.
HALL QUARRY, July 6 Especially John
Reed, aged ten years, was killed by play
mate, Clarence Prize, aged fifteen years, of
Trenton, last Friday, by the accidental
discharge of revolver.
The boys, with two others, were playing
in Thomas McCormick's shed in the after
noon. Prize had revolver which he did
not know to be Of selfcocking action.
He was loading the revolver when young
Reed jumped from wagon and ran to
watch Pirie. just as he stepped in front
OF him, the revolver was discharged. The
bullet passed through Prizes hand and
entered Reeds temple penetrating the
brain. Though the boy lived until near
midnight, he was unconscious from the
first.
The boys were close friends, and Prize Is
almost crazed with grief at having caused
the death of his little friend. He forgot
his own injury when he found his friend
was hurt, and hurried for assistance.
Physicians from Southwest Harbor and
Bar Harbor were summoned.
The accident has cast a gloom over the
entire community. The parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Reed, have the deepest sym
pathy Of all. Mrs. Reed, who is in poor
health, is nearly FRUSTRATED.
The body was taken to Seal Cove, where
services were held at the hall Sunday.
Rev. A. P. Thompson, OF West fremont,
officiated, assisted by Rev. Clarence
Emery, Of Manset. Interment was in the
Colt burying ground.

MORE TOBACCO MEN INTERESTED.
They Visit the Experiment Plants at
Tarinville.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
TARIFFvILLE. Conn. August 28 1901.
The experimental crops OF Sumatra to-
bacco under cheese cloth shades in tho
Connecticut valley, which are being direct
ed by the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, are continuing to attract the at
tention Of tho tobacco fraternity, and are
daily being visited by men who are Inter
ested in this product Of the soil. Last week
the shades and curing barns were visited by
the Crump Bros Of Chicago, ILL.,: William
Taussig Of the firm Of Taussig & Co. OF
Chicago, Ill, and Quincy, Fla: F. 8. Baines
Of GAINESVILLE, Wis. and G.. A. Billings OF
the firm Of Sutter Bros. New York. These
men are all we'll known in the tobacco field,
and have had experience in the tobacco
business for years They were much pleased
with the Sumatra In the Connecticut val
ley, both In the fields and In the barns.
They considered the experiment q decided
success. and predicted fattering outlook
for the tobacco when thoroughly cured.
Mr.. Taussig said he had never seen finer
tobacco before. while the other men were
equally demonstrative In their praise.
With such high opinion coming from
parties Of such authority. Prof. Milton
Whitney, chief Of the bureau Of soils. feels
that his movement In this direction has
been justified.
Mr.. Baines was so well pleased that he
intends to get the tobacco growers ana
dealers OF Wisconsin to petitlon the SEQ.
retary Of Agriculture to make similar
experiment in that state. He contends that
the same quality Of soil can be found In
Wisconsin as that upon which the tobacco
Is being produced In this vicinity. and that
the people of his state are very anxious for
the government to conduct an experiment
there.
The recent visit of Prof. Whitney, Rep
resentatives Henry and Russell and Sena-
tor PIatt Of Connecticut and Mr.. II. 8.
Frye of POQuOnOck, Conn.,, president or tho
New England Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton, has greatly encouraged the planters.
These officials, as well as Mr.. M. L. Floyd,
the tobacco expert Of the department. are
much gratified with the success OF the ex-
pertinent, and feel thoroughly confident OF
good results. Other prominent tobacco men
will visit Tariffville shortly to inspect the
Sumatra tobacco.

Hospital Nurses OverwOrked.
n the Editor OF The Evening Starr

To the Editor Of The Evening Start
VIII The Star. ever ready to render aid.
please lend a hand bers. "Sympathizer"
made a strong plea for the nurses In The
Star Of Monday. July o. say. God speed
you, Sympathizer," and 1 wish 10 add also
plea for the nurses (and also the pa
tients) / would like to tell "Sympathizer"
that there Is q hospital in the city Of
Washington where three nurses, doctor
and an orderly have just come down with
typhoid fever, manifestly from overwork.
as at this season the hospital has many
fever patients, while many OF the nurses
are away on vacation, leaving those re-
manning on duty very much overworked,
With the three nurses and the doctor and
the orderly taken from the small number
Of nurses, while the few well ones have
them to wait on in addition, how long be-
fore they all come down with typhoid2
And how about the patients who are in the
hospital expecting care? One nurse has at
night to take entire care of a ward con-
sisting Of two floors. This is the case In
almost all hospitals. Whether they have
an adequate day force or not they cut
down the supply OF night nurses to the
danger point. But in this particular In.
stance the one nurse had a crazy man on
one floor. dying woman on the floor
above, five ice baths to give to typhoid
patients. besides the other patients to wait
on, and before she went or duty in the
morning had to give all the patients on
the two floors of the ward their morning
baths and serve all their breakfasts, ana
had to have this all done before the day
nurse came on duty. or her work would
not be considered properly done. No won
der, when she was through, she herself
was too tired and worn out to eat or sleep.
Now. what kind OF a staff OF visiting ply
sicians and what kind Of trustees has this
hospital? This Is q conundrum. And 1t
needs solving right away. ANXIETY.
