Fresh Trouble in the Management
Of the City Hospital.
The Council Orders an Investigation
Some of the Reports That
Are Current.
NO ONE WANTS TO TALK

There have been rather sensational
reports going the rounds for several
days past iu regard to the trouble be-
tween City Physician J. E. Coyle and
Mrs. Sarah Birchett, steward of the
city hospital. A few weeks ago DR..
Coyle rendered his resignation to
the mayor, but was induced to with
draw it, and it was thought the
trouble had been smoothed over.
II seems, however, co have broken
out afresh, and some very ugly stories
are rife, regarding the management
of the hospital. One Of these stories
is that George Bailey, q cook for the
Buckskin Bill show, who died the
latter part of April in the city hos
pital, had his neck brokeu from fall.
According to the report, Bailey was
delirious, aud instead Of having COM
petent nurse to watch him, the mat
ron had one of the patients in the hos
pital, who left the room during the
night, and allowed Bailey to wan
der in his delirium to the steps and
tumble over the banisters, breaking
his neck.
The death certificate, however,
shows that he died from pneumonia,
and IL he did not and was killed by
the fall, both the steward Of the hos
pital and the city physician were re.
miss in their duty in not notifying the
coroner.
Mrs. Birchett was asked about the
report, and said that she had instruc'
tions to send all reporters to the city
physician when they asked her fol
information. She did say, however,
that the report about the man s death
was false, and that the man fell al
the head Of the steps and rolled down.
Another report is that . Mayfeld
negro who had leg cut of by train
few weeks ago, and was taken to the
hospital, died from blood poisoning.
Instructions were left to keep warm
water pouring over tine limb all night,
and no one was provided to keep the
water warm, and as consequence
the man died.
City Physician Coyle said he did
not care TO make any statement in re-
gard to the affair IL is explained in
the case of Bailey's death, however
that the man had bad case Of typhoid
with delirium ana needed nursing.
That the night the accident occurred
the head nurse had been allowed tc
20 on an excursion, leaving no one to
watch the patient except another pa
tient who was hardly able to be out Of
bed. After the accident the man wal
picked up from the foot of the stair'
and lived but few minutes. The fact
that no bones were broken caused the
doctor to sign the death certificate al
he did.
Mrs. Birchett has many staunci
friends who will see her through thu
trouble. They claim that the fac
that If the patient died from neglec
or was killed by accident, no re
port Of it was made to the coroner
and the city physician signed thu
death certificate ascribing death tc
natural causes, will be ample protec
tion to her

Powers of Boys and Girls.
From the London Hospital.

Tests applied to boys and girls show such
q marked difference between the powers of
the two sexes as to make pause in de-
manding for girls equal opportu tunities OF
education with their brothers. In height
girls keep more nearly level with boys In
school years than in most other physical
qualities AT the age of two they are a
very little shorter than boys, but keep very
close upon them till the age of eleven,
when they even get ahead. and keep their
superiority till about fifteen. Then. how
ever. they begin to lose ground, and while
the boy shoots up rapidly and gains several
inches between fifteen and twenty the girl
as a rule gains only an inch two more.
and stops short in her growth at about sew
enteen. In the sitting height there is not
much difference in that taken stand
ing. but in both the boys show consid-
cradle superiority. In weight the same rule
holds good. Girls are a little lighter than
boys from five to twelve. at twelve they are
equal, and from that age to fourteen the
girls have the best of il: but after fourteen
they gain little. while the boys develop rap
idly. 1t Is curious to note. however, that
in the matter of strength of hand girls
weaker all along. Even at their best from
five to twelve, a girls right hand is weaker
than a boys left. and after that the differ
ence increases enormously. In fact, the
girls are nowhere. OF course, one would
like to know If course OF study which in
cluded golf, tennis and hockey would not
remedy this state of matters a little.

HISTORY OF THE SPUR.
The Origin Of the Instrument Lost in
Remote Antiquity.

hemote AnI1Qu1ty.
From the Scientific American.
Not many horsemen are aware Of the fact
that the spur which they attach to their
heels Is an instrument the origin Of which
IS lost in the remote antiquity. The Ro-
mans were familiar with the use of the
spur; they called 1t Calcar Cocks spur)
No doubt this name was derived from the
original shape of the spur. which was prob
ably nothing more or less than long point
During the middle ages the wearing of the
spur was regarded as a sign Of freedom
The yassal to whose heel it was fastened
swore fidelity to his suzerain. The wearing
Of spurs soon spread to such an extent that
even the clergy followed the fashion set by
knights. But this custom did not long en-
dure. AT council of mobiles and bishops
held In s18 the clergy were forbidden to
wear spurs The spurs Of knights were Of
gold, to distinguish them from the spurs Of
esquires. which were Of silver.
At the beginning Of the eleventh century
when man, for some noble deed, was
dubbed knight the ceremony OF knight
Of spurs. The overlord, in conferring
the title. attached the spurs himself to the
heels of the newly created noble, and then
gave him his helmet, his horse. his sword
ana aa ms lance; the Oldest known form Of
the spur Is that Of long pin Or needle.
Ihls early specimen was found at Autun, In
the tomb of Queen Brunehaut, murdered by
her rival, Fredegonde, in 613
In the thirteenth century spurs received
the form of rosettes or stars. The wheel
form did not appear until the fifteenth CEN
tury. Most of the young noblemen of that
day wore spurs of most curious pattern
comprising primarily rod half foot long,
at the end of which an enormous star wheel
was carried. In the middle ages, when a
cavalier almost stood In his stirrups and
horses We're caparisoned. very long spur
shanks were necessary in order to reach
the fanks OF the mount. A specimen Of
this type of spur has been preserved, and
its ownership ascribed to Godefroy de Bou-
hlon, who died in lilo. In the eighteenth
century, when the knight Of old had practf-
cally disappeared, M. Francois Robson de
la Guermiehe, equerry to his majesty Louis
XIV, was the first to cut down the length
OF the shank and give the spur it's modern
form 176S)
