THE HOSPITALPLANS
ARE NOW FORMED
North Fourth Street to be Re-
commended as the Site.
DR.. J. @. Brooks Will Probably Be
Chairman Of Doctors
Committee.
COTTAGE PLAN FAVORED

At meeting of the Paducsh Medi.
cal society tonight in the Office Of
DR.. ]. r. Coleman, . committee to
confer with a committee from the gen.
ersl council about the erection of Q
city hospital, for which s25. 900 of the
recent 100000 bond issue is to be
spent will be appointed, A location
and plans from the hospital building
will also be discussed.
The hospital committee will proba-
bly, consist of DR.. J. g. Brooks; the
present city physician, DR.. Robert
Rivers, and the lats city physician,
DR.. Lillard Sanders. At any rate. it
is practically sure that DIR. Brooks
will be chairman Of the committee,
since he has been one of the prime
movers in securing the new hospital
and has long been deeply interested in
having q new hospital in Paducah.
As has been said, the general senti.
ment among the doctors about the sit
uation of the hospital, is that it be 10.
Gated on the site OF the old fort,at the
foot of Fourth street. 1t is the idea
to secure whole block, beginning al
Clay street, on the east side of Fourth
and extending to what would be Trim
BILE street, If extended that far. This
property is for sale and it 10 under
stood. could be secured for q reasona
BILE amount. Part Of it belongs to the
estate of the late. Mrs. Ad. Graham
and part to the Norton estate.
II do not believe" asid DR.. Brooks
this morning to Sun reporter, THAT
more than SIC, 1000 or $4,000 of the
appropriation should be used for the
building. The balance should be kept
for equipment.
THE building should be erected
with a basement, extending several
feet above the ground, and should be
built on the cottage plan. These cot
tages are all under one roof, and form
ellis. to the main building. Some Of
the best hospitals have seen in vafi-
Gus cities were built after this plan. +"
The building will Of course be Of
brick. One Of the physicians of the
city suggested this morning that the
private ward, which it is the purpose
to have included IN the hospital, be
furnished by subscriptions from the
Paducah ply sicians.
The location is regarded as especial
ly healthful and commands fine view
of the river. 1t is the purpose to
drain and fill all of the ponds and
gravel pits in that locality. which
have been thought to interfere with
the healthfulness of that part of the
city.

FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in watch Gases.

According to an article in the Cincin-
natl Commercial, tiftyone pound stone
was recently found IN that city secreteG
in bale of hay Of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump of
lead of nearly one-half the weight Of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen
ire of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs of the case are taken out
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest, but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. 1t is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he
has lugged lump of lead III his watch
case.
Another trick Of the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cases is to stamp the case
~. S. Assay The United States does
silver except coin, and the fakir by using
this stamp, wants to make the public be-
lieve that the Government had something
to do with the stamping Or guaranteeing
the ineness OF watch cases.
Another trick OF the watch fakir is to
advertise watch described as q solid god
filled watch with twenty or twenty-five
year guarantee. These watches are gene.-
ally sent G.. O. D., and il the purchaser has
paid for the watch he finds that the com
pany which guaranteed the watch to wear
is not in existence.
The Dueber- Eampden Watch Company,
of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the names
of the manufacturers who are in this ques-
tionable business.
