the list of other institutions The charity hospital is in a class alone. No other philanthropic institution is comparable to 1t.
 The Hillman hospital is a charity hos pital What that great emergency hos pital Bellevue, Is to New York, so will be the Hillman hospital to Birmingham 1t Is in every way a modern hospital ranking in point of plan and equipment with the most modern hospitals in the country. Few hospitals in the south pos- sess as many fine hospital features. This applies to its construction, the attention that has been paid to detail to sanitation, to equipment.
 The building has been erected at a cost of about S60000. 1t is located on the southwest corner of Avenue F and Twe1l- tieth street. The building has frontage on Twentieth street of S9 feet and S5 feet on Avenue F. It is four stories in height and is built of red pressed brick and white stone. The architecture is severely plain, and there is a notable absence of anything ornate in the entire appearance of the hospital
 The entrance to the basement Is on Av- enue F, but the main entrance fronts on Twentieth street. The basement contains clinics, with reception rooms, a dispens- ary and offices for the physicians, labora- tories laundry, the store rooms, machin- cry room, boiler and fuel room.
 On the first floor are the offices of the superintendent, the resident physician and reception room. There are six private rooms and two large wards. The second floor contains six private rooms, two large medical wards and the childrens ward
 The third floor contains a surgical am phitheater 23x23 feet with accommoda- ton for about eighty students There is also q private operating room and sterii- izing and etherizlng rooms five private rooms and two surgical wards. One of the most modern features of the hospital is in the location of the kitchen, which is on the top floor.
 This Is not only a feature of the up-to- date hospital but Is also adapted to ho- tels and other public buildings. The Waldorf-Astoria may be named among the hotels with the kitchens located on the top floor. The reason Is obvious, from the fact that odors rise, and the higher up the kitchen Is the freer Is the building from objectionable odors. The kitchen is connected with service hall in the base ment and with the diet kitchens on each floor by dumb walters.
 A particularly modern feature Is the st- uation of the amphtheater and private operating room IL IS a Sclentlnc 1act, es- tablished by Pasteur, that the air near the service contains more micro organisms than that higher up. Especially is this true in the towns and cities where the street dust is adened with germs. which are much more abundant at the level of the first floor than of the floors above. This fact determined the location of these pavilions on the third floor back from the street.

| also the opening of the Training School for Nurses. Everything has been done to make the hospital one of the most com pete institutions in the south and the training school will rank at the very be- ginning with those in the older hospitals, as the discipline is to be extremely rigid and the standard high.
 The superintendent of the Hllman hos ptal, Miss Mamie Boyce Hamilton, is one of the best equipped young women In the profession She has diplomas from the most famous hospitals of the north, and to her experience and training in the most modern hospitals in the country she adds a wonderful ex- ecutive and business ability She is very remarkable young woman. The ease with which she discusses the most intricate problems baffling the minds of the physicians Is said to have surprised the leading doctors in the north, and her grasp of technical matters, her mastery of the science of medicine Is revelation. In recent interview with Miss Ham, ilton she was asked to speak of certain features of the new hospital which ap- pealed particularly to her, and in view that so much thought has been given to the germ proof furnishings.
 "At first glance, said Miss Hamilton, ''the plainness of the furnishings might tXtltH COHlIneDI to lnOSe WnO do not know that severe simplicity should char acterize the furnishings of the modern hospital. No matter how dear to the heart especially the feminine heart. the carved and ornate furniture may be- Hygiene cries aloud and spares not and taste and even sentiment dare not set themselves up against the laws of cleanliness and health in this her realm.
 Even when affection would transgress and wish in memorial rooms or wards to add ornament to furniture or hxings, she remains obdurate and demands her rights.
 That this has been impressed upon the minds of those in- trusted with the furnishing of the Hillman hospital will be evident to the most casual observer when the doors of this institution will be thrown open to a liberal and appreciative public. The con- noisseur in hospital matters will find no fault with the scrupulous care that no dust inviting carvings and crevices have been allowed as lurking places for germs but rather that plainness and even sever- ity are the prevailing characteristics
 "The steel, white enameled furniture will be only rivaled by the spotless uni forms or the officers and graduate nurses who shall find in this admirably equipped hospital every appliance for the success full carrying out of the training they have received in their several schools. It is worthy to be borne in mind that these graduates are as jealous of the reputa- tion of their schools as any professor of his alma mater.
 The beds will be of uniform style and height Plain carved tops, devoid of knobs and brass trimmings, easily cleaned and of the regulation height. as found in the newest and most improved hospitals.

The lighting of the operating room Is also feature that has appealed to the surgeons of the city. Light is admitted through the slSylight and by windows so arranged as to prevent cross lights often existing in operating rooms.
 The finish of the building is of native pine. The floors of the bath rooms and the operating rooms are of Venetian Mo- safe. The building is steam heated and each room is ventilated by by fiues connecting with aspirating ducts in the attic, leading to the ventilator in each room. The walls and ceilings are finished in cement plaster with eoved an- gles and rounded corners.
 The fight against germs was waged vigorously on the part of the workmen, who became inbued with hospital necessi- ties No germs can find standing room here" was a frequent comment during the building of the hospital.
 The floors are of soft pine, and they will receive a special treatment. Scrub ping floors has been found to be a mis- take. The impurities and germs absorbed by the wood are not removed, since after the drying process the dust given off con- tains the same Impurities. The special treatment recommended by the superiu- tendent of the Johns-Hopkins hospital renders the floors impervious to absorp- tion. The floor first receives a varnish of shelac, which perpares 1t for treatment of turpentine and parafine this produce ing a perfectly smooth resisting service, while the deodorizing properties of the turpentine especially recommend its use.
 In the new hospital the nurses dormi- tory and the dining room are on the fourth floor which also contains six pri- vate rooms. The hospital is freproof. all partitions being of either brick metal or cement The hospital is equipped with electric elevators and is lighted by gas and electricity.

Jersey and Freedom.
Yakie Yake Brady OF Cherry Hill returned
to James street from Jersey City on Sat-
urday and was arrested again. He went to
Jersey City two months ago on the ground
that every time anything happened in
Cherry Hill he had to 60 to Jail. He got a
job in Jersey City and didn't return for
two weeks. When he did come back he
was arrested on charge of burglary. After
being discharged in the Tombs police court
the next morning Brady swore that he'd
stay in Jersey City for the rest OF his life,
but when the Fourth came he felt that he
couldn't celebrate in a foreign country.
He got along all right on Saturday until
he went for pint Of beer. AS he was
leaving the saloon, George Stewart, one Of
his former companions, saluted him by
kicking the can out OF his hands. Brady
punched Stewart and both were arrested.
Yakie was mad clean through and as he
was being led TO a cell he turned to Stew
art and said:
"If II wasn't for you I wouldn't have
been pinched. I'll kill you when get out. Z"
Stewart took the threat seriously and
tried TO hang himself in his cell, but was cut
down in time and sent to Bellevue.
Brady was arraigned alone before Magis-
trate Flammer in the Tombs police court
yesterday on a charge OF disorderly con-
duct and to his great surprise was dis
charged.

FIRE STARTED ny BURGLARS.
Explosion Scared Them Away, brit NTO0k
the Fire to BRING tho Police.

Burglars started fire early yesterday
morning In the paper warehouse Of George
F. Hills at 81 Roosevelt street by the careless
use OF explosives in blowing opsn safe.
Apparently the racket they made was 80
great that the burglars ran without bother
ing with the contents of the safe.
Nobody outside observed anything I'M
usual. and the police Of the Oak street
station, which is about 100 feet from tho
warehouse, were in ignorance Of what had
happened until a man rushed in and told
them that smoke was issuing from the
second floor OF the building.
1t took the fremen about ten minutes
to get control of the blaze which was con-
fined to the Office on the second floor. When
all was over and Battalion Chief Martin
made trip OF investigation through the
building he found the door of the safe
lying on the floor about ten feet away rom
the safe
A further examination, in which Police
man Bannon assisted. showed that burglars
had made their way into the building
through the roof and had run out the same
way. The contents Of the safe had not been
touched and the fire had not reached them.
This is the second time in q few months
that Mr.. Hills's place has been entered
by burglars The former attack on his safe
was moro successful
