THE HOSPITAL CASE
Board of Trustees Investigate
Mrs, POpe's Case.
Resolution Passed AbsoIving The Hospital
Authorities From All Blame. Mr..
Pope's Complaint.

AT a meeting OF the Board of Trustees
OF Rex Hospital held yesterday evening
to investigate the complaint Of Mr. j..
A. Pope. whose wife escaped from the
hospital Oh Sunday evening, the follow
ing entry was MADE upon the minutes:
ION motion it was resolved that 1t is
the sense OF the Board of Trustees OF
Rex Hospital, after careful inyestiga-
ton of the circumstances of Mrs. Pope's
escape, conducted ii the presence OF her
husband, Mr.. j. A. Pope. that no blame
can be attached TO the superintendent or
nurses OF the hospital, and, further, that
l. is found that the remark made by one
of the nurses when Mrs. Pope was found
and complained Of her feet being very
cold, was not made in tone of reproof
or anger but was statement OF what
was the NATURAL result OF her exposure,
and was heard and so construed by the
physician in attendance upon Mrs. Pope
Mr. Pope was present at the meeting
as was also Mr.. j. W. Coffey, who was
reported rs being ready TO bear out Mr..
pope s statement as TO the nurses re-
mark when Mrs. Pope complained OF her
feet being frozen, shat they ought to be-
People like this ought 10 be in the insane
al YUM, anyhow"
Mr. Coffey desired the meeting to UNI
derstand that he had not volunteered any
information in the matter at all, and at
ter hearing the interpre tation put upon
the nurses words by the physician in
charge. he was inclined TO be of the same
opinion. namely, that the remark was
ind iva 70 ha ~
the exposure TO which Mrs. Pope had been
subjected in the course of her escape.
The physician in charge stated that
he had overheard the nurses words, but
that they had not in any way seemed TO
him to be meant in any spirit of cruelty.
He stated further that he had replied.
saying: yes, l should not be surprised
IL she had pneumonia" showing the light
in which he regarded the remark.
It appeared at the hearing that Mr..
Popes chief complaint was that he had
not been informed of his wife's escape
and danger, but had learned 1t by acct
don't on the street. This was explained
by saying that il was the rule OF the
hospital that all such Information should
be given TO the friends and family o.
patients by the physician in charge OF the
case. Ii happened that Mrs. Pope's ply
stefan was not going out st that time
owing TO death in his family, and that
the physician mentioned above was taxi
ing his place. Tie latter telephoned, IT
appears, TO Mrs. Pope'G physician OF the
accident, but he in some way failed to
notify Mr.. Pope
Yesterday morning MIR Pope, accom-
Panied by Mr.. Cofiey, called on Mr.. R. II.
Rattle, President of the Board OF Trus-
| @oce ~ the Hosntal. MIR. Pope told Mr..
Battle OF the remark made by the nurse,
and Mr. Coffey made the same statement
practically that he made before the board
in the evening.

Mayor Brown of Charlotte, is the right
any public welcome to be extended to the
Cook County Democratic Club in Char
lotte on Sunday. That was right. Upon
any other day, Mayor Brown would have
gladly extended to that patriotic or
ganization the freedom of the city, and
given them the keys. But the Sabbath
is not day for political or social re-
ceptions, and the mayor was true to
"No'f Caliny ways when he declined to
convert the Sabbath into a day of official
receptions to the visiting club. lndivid-
uals did show them courteses. That was
a matter for individual taste, and the

Cerebrities, or "Staggers, in Horses

In Kansas disease among horses,
similar in some respects at least to that
which has caused so much loss in East
Urn North Carolina, is prevailing. Prof.
n. s. May. OF the Manhattan, (Kansas)
Experiment Station, writes thus, says the
Progressive Farmer:
Serious losses in this and adjoining
States are occurring at the present time
as a result of feeding worry mouldy
corn. either when it is fed as a grain
ration c. when obtained by pasturing in
the stalk fields, or when fed upon the
cut corn fodder.
The disease is an Inflammation OF the
brain or spinal cord and its coverings
(meningesl, associated with a breaking
down of the nerve tissue of the brain.
1t is popularity called "staggers." or mad
staggers," because of the prominent
symptoms shown.
Symptoms--The symptoms are those OF
a brain disease The animal appears
blind and only partially conscious; there
is often a tendency to turn in circle
To the right or left. and staggering
CT a straddiing gait. There is usually a
trembling OF the muscles. AS the disease
progresses the animal becomes delirious
and easily excitable. In many cases the
animal will stand with the head or breast
against wall or manger and push. AMI
mails will often eat when badly aaected,
arparently from force of habit, not be-
cause they are hungry. In most cases
animals will die in few hours AFTER
: they are first noticed ailing. Most OF
them die within few days; few live
a week. rarely longer. In few cases
The spinal cord is diseased. while the
brain remains nearly normal In these
cases there is inability to control the
muscles, or the animal may be unusually
sensitive. the least irritation OF the skin,
even by touching the animal often eaus-
ing it to kick violently. Where the spinal
cord only is affected the animal fire.
euently RECEIVERS Laxative food should
be given. and iodide of potash in one
draeilm doses dissolved in water can be
given once daily for three or four days.
Treatment-Practc all cases,
where the brain is the seat Of the dis
ease, die. and all methods of treatment
so far have proven OF no avail. The ami

tract the disease a week, and in some
cases ten days, after The mouldy corn has

A REFLECTION UPON THE CITY

A few days ago there appeared In these

do, and had nothing to eat. That a

should commit suicide because he had
nothing to do and nothing to eat shock
ed the city. He was taken to Rex Hos
pital, given tender care, and seemed to
rally but the wound had been fatal, and
the unfortunate man died, and was
buried. And many man and woman in
Raleigh felt full of regret that they had
not known of this mans condition that
a helping hand might have been held out
to save his life
The pathos of the incident was touch
ing enough without the added chapter
published in these columns. This man,
: after his death was put into coffin
without fit preparation for burial taken
