SPENDING OF 100000
APPROPRIATION FOR PRovI-
DENCE HOSPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
Disbursement Rests Within the Con-
troll of the Local Authorities and Not
the Institutions Officials.

r. ]. Tracewell. controller OF the treas
ury. has rendered an opinion that the Com
missoners Of the District. and not the au-
thorities Of Providence Hospital. shall
direct the expenditure of 100000 for the re-
construction and completion of the old
Providence Hospital building and renova-
ton and Encouragement of grades and ap-
proaches to the hospital and the fitting up
and eauipping of a modern morgue.
The Commissioners recently wrote to the
controller follows:
las this amount was not directed by Con-
gress to be expended under the direction Of
the Commissioners. and as the work has
no relation to the power house and nurses
home. which Congress did direct be con-
structed under the direction of the Com
missioners. and which has been completed,
the Commissioners do not feel that they are
order under the contract in question. but
think that 1T should be turned over to the
authorities of Providence Hospital for dis
burSement.'
The Controllers Opinion.
In response to this communication Mr..
Tracewell says:
Il do not think that the language of the
appropriation for the current fiscal year
quoted in your letter, when taken in con-
nection with the other appropriat tions made
to accomplish the objects for which these
appropriations were made, and the action
of your body Hereunder in making con-
tracts for the expenditure of the several
sums so appropriated. and the further fact
that it is to be presumed that Congress
when II made the appropriation quoted was
aware of the construction given to it's prior
appropriations in behalf of the improve
ments to this hospital. justifes the conclu-
sion that these funds so appropriated should
be paid and turned over to the authorities
of Providence Hospital.
II the current appropriation had been
the firSt OF these appropriations. using the
language it does, l should be constrained
to hold, as l did recently in the matter
OF an appropriat ton for Garfield Hospital.
relative TO the purchase of land for said
hospital. that such appropriation was
appropriation to and for the benefit of,
and to be expended by such hospital. CON
Guiding that Congress had in mind for
its protection that provision of the law
whlch makes any money so appropriated
lien pro tanta on the buildings and
grounds so appropriated for.
For the reasons above given I am of
opinion that the sum appropriated for
the improvement of Providence Hospital
should be expended under your direction
and control.
gest and am led to make the suggestion
from the facts disclosed in the papers be-
fore me, that this money should either be
expended in accomplishing the object for
which 1t is appropriated by purchasing
the materials and doing the work
by the day. after the letting of the
contract therefor in the ordinary way"

That is it. have heard the same
sentiments expressed in Canada prac-
tically from the Atlantic to the Paci-

will be because love of the dollar has
outgrown the love for England. 1t will
not be because they love England less,
but because they love the dollar more.
Will the American immigrant to

The chances are that he will not unless

Canada will give him as good a govern

him as many liberties, as many oppor-

way of education and refinement, and as
many or more privileges than he knew
in the States. But when he sells his
wheat for few cents less per bushel

States is getting his love for the dollar

battles than those of Dan Cupid. And,
after ALL that is what they are there

Woolwich they do not make soldiers
of the same caliber as Uncle Sam does
at West Point. If the cadets have the

class which have in the past made
England's best soldiers, and from
which many of her best officers have
been drawn by rising by sheer merit

longer seeking the army as a means of
livelihood, probably because of the
small pay, "a cents per day being the

does not attract the class of recruits

The best wraps for travelling ema-
nate from Vienna, in the form of a
coarse. silky linen, loose sac, trimmed
with an edging of washing embroidery
and some big cone buttons. These en-

For cooler days, this same model is
admirable in reversible tweeds and

A complete frock in brown is per-
hapS one of the smartest costumes, A

shows a tiny inner collar of washing
muslin and a silk scarf of spotted pink
and black foulard. The neatest little

with bunch of scarlet autumnal ber-
ries.
There is no hard and fast rule where

of waving.
Young girls are wearing the hair
low. with big black silk or velvet
bow behind. For smart occasions in

dressed very high, and innumerable
tortoiseshell pins are worn. The
