ST. LOUIS IS CRITICISED.
Government Boards And Guests Of
Honor HINT For Rooms.
FREE TICKETS. TO GROUNDS.

st. Louis, May l. BEFORE the day
set apart for the dedication ceremonies
connected with the worlSi's fair it was
demonstrated clearly that ST. Louis is
in no wise prepared to care for the
quarter of a million strangeEs who will
be here the balance of the wei. G. ,oss
mismanagement also appears.
Inc chief executive oi Vic Emp, re
state, Governor Odell, arrived II the
Union station, only to find tia no
delegation of prominent citizens@ no
committee representing the wotld's
fair management, were at the train to
welcome him and his party to the titv.
Alone and unaided, the governor was
compelled to make his way to his hotel
only to discover that, if apartmen is
had been engaged for him, thE had
been given by the management to Some
one else. To say that Governor Odell
was mad clear through expressef his
feelings mildly.
Among others brought here to par
ticipate in the dedicatory ceremonies
are number of government boards
who ostensibly are guests of honor of
the city and worlds fair management.
These have been furnished with tickets
of admission to the grounds, valued at
25 and so cents, and this is the only
recognition of their coming which they
have received thus far.
The hotel accommodations are totally
inadequate.
While the question of getting the
visitors out to the grounds is serious
one, it it as nothing compared to that
of how to get them back at the conclu-
sion of the ceremonies In going out,
the street car company have all
day in which to carry the many thou
sands who wish to participate in the
festivities, but their utter inability to
get the people back into the city the
same night is admitted by all.

Scenea At st. Louis.

st. Louis, May Awhile Cardinal
Gibbons was delivering the invocation,
cat calls, shrill whistles and a babel OF
cries prevented anyone hearing what
he said. The address of Hon, Thomas
II. Carter was inaudible twenty feet
away and President Roosevelt had
time and again to ask for the courtesy
of hearing for the same reason,
When Grover Cleveland arose to read
his address, he was given cordial
reception, but almost instantly thou
sands of people got up and left the
hall

DR.. EASTMAN GOES.
Christ Hospital Inaugurates
Policy of Retrenchment.

A policy of retrenchment has been de-
cided upon by the trustees of Christ
hospital and as a result DR.. b. D. East
man, the superintendent, and DR.. L. S.
Chamberlain, anaesthetist. have resign
ed and will leave the institution Deem
Der 1.
The trustees Of the hospital will re-
duce the running expenses Of the insti-
tuition by employing DR.. Beach, of
Clyde, Kansas to be the only physician
on duty at the HOSPITAL. Dr.. Beach
graduated from the Kansas Medical
college two years ago and has been
practicing medicine at Clyde since
then
Canon Burke. in addition to his other
duties in the Episcopal parish, will
serve as sort of manager, b0okkeeper
and steward at the hospital and DR..
Beach viii assume the duties of the
two physicians heretofore at the insti-
tuition.
During the past year the receipts of
the hospital have not been sufficient to
meet the expenses. On account of an
epidemic of diphtheria at the institution
a year ago it was found necessary to
build a small building on the hospital
grounds separate from the main build
ings Of the institution where cases of
contagiOn which developed among the
nurses and patients of the hospital
could be cared for and be isolated from
other people at the institution. It was
promised by persons interested in the
charity that 81, 600 would be raised by
subscription to pay for it so that the
expense would not come from the re-
ceipts of the institution. Those who
promised to raise the money failed to
do so and the hospital is in debt for
that. About 800 for a steriliizng out
fit was recently expended when it was
thought necessary to supersede the
sterilizing system in use with more
complete apparatus such as is used at
other Topeka hospitals. These two
large expenditures together with tie
falling off in the number of pay
cided the trustees to m1Ie decided eff
forts to cut down the running expenses
of the institution. DR.. Eastman will re-
sumo general practice in Topeka.
