MY EXPERIENCE AT THE EMER-
GENCY HOSPITAL.
To the Editor Of the "EveninI
Capital

To the Editor of the Evening
Capital -
Several of my friends i'll Annapolis
have expressed desire to learn of my
experience at the Emergency Hospital
during my stay there ON the night of
December 81, 1908. Ii you do not
object it will give me great pleasure
TO enlighten them through your col
umns, as / imagine many of them are
as ignorant as l was of the import
ance of such all institution, before my
mishap occurred.
After nearly severing my finger with
the saw about 4 O'Clock p. III. of the
day stated, l Immediately repaired Ito
the office of our family physician, DR..
Wells, for treatment and advice.
Amputation being advisable, the
hospital seemed to be the proper place
to perform it.
AS had never before entered the
door of hospital l must say that /
was considerably interested in the
prospect of witnessing an operation
even if it was on myself. The scrupu
lously clean floors, the white enamel
bowls, pitchers, ETC., were very
pleasing to look at, but the sharp,
steel instruments of all sizes and
shapes that laid around on both sides
of the operating table, were altogeth-
er too handy thought. and were cal
culated to make man sorry that he
had ever been born or had monkeyed
with buzz saw.
Upon looking about for a means of
escape we encountered the kindly
ewes and sympathetic faces of Miss
Adamson, the manager, or head nurse,
and Mrs. Dexter, her assistant
whereupon l Immediately changed
my mind and decided to stand my
ground and take the medicine. By
request of the doctor and his compe
tent assistant Dr. Louis B. Henkel,
Jr., / prepared to take short nap
ON their elegant glass table. The sud
denness with which that slumber came
really am not prepared to say
much about. 1 only know that in an
hour or so found myself very COM
fortably tucked away in bed with a
nicely dressed hand and great dis
position to say and do things that
ought not The medicine and the
surgeons had accomplished their work
and was coming to.
Ny experience. no doubt, would
be the experience of any one who hap
pens with misfortune and has the good
luck to be taken there, and the peo-
pie of Annapolis and surrounding
county have every reason to be proud
of such an institution, and should not
hesitate TO contribute what they are
able for its maintenance and support.
Probably many who go there are
unable to give anything which makes
it more necessary for those who can.
God bless the Emergency Hospital
its managers and assistants is my
earnest wish, for realize now fully,
through my trifiing experience, the
comforts that will be dealt out to
Others yet to come from more serious
accidents.
Respectfully,
f. L. COMBS.

NEW DELEGATES THIS YEAR
Young Men Are In The Major
ity In The Legisla-
tive Body.

A number Of new delegates are
noted at the State House this year,
and in the entire delegation there is
a majority of young men in the House
of Delegates over those of recent
years, many Of them are thought to
be ready speakers.
The thirty Republican members are
grouped in the last three rows on the
north side of the chamber and the
overwhelming majority of the Demo
Gratis occupies all the rest of the room.
On the Republicn side the more active
members will be Mr.. James E. God
win, of Baltimore city, who has been
selected as the minority floor leader;
Mr.. w. J. Feagan, of Allegany county,
who was formerly private secretary
to United States Senator Wellington,
and Mr. James De B. Walbach, OF
Charles county, if he is allowed to
keep his seat.
On the Democratic side those who
we're members of the last House are
Messrs Wells, of Prince Georges;
Johnston, of Montgomery Green and
Fitzsimmons, of Baltimore county;
Collins, of Talbot; McComas, of Har-
ford Fuss. of Carroll, and Speaker
Everhart. One of the new members
who begins his legislative career with
this season, but who has many friends
throughout the State, is Mr.. Samuel
X. Dennis, of Worcester county, who
has for the past four years been pri-
vate secretary to Governor Smith. Mr..
Z. S. Goslin, of Caroline county, it is
understood, will be the Democratic
floor leader in the House.
OF the twenty four members of the
Baltimore city delegation only two
were here in 1902, and both of these
are publicans-Godwin and Henkel.
OF the eighteen Democratic members
seven are lawyers. OF the entire
House there is a considerable proper
ton of members who are not speakers
and will rarely get upon their feet
except to make perfunctory motion.
Already Speaker Everhart is being
importuned by members for places ON
different committees and yesterday
morning he announced the personnel
of three-Elections Rules and Organi-
zation. That the full committees will
not be completed before the last of the
month is regarded as likely and there
is suspicion that they may be held
over until after the Snatorship is set
tied. The Baltimore city delegation,
it is understood, will not hold any
meeting for the purpose of selecting a
chairman for at least two weeks.

its integral splendor. Mr. Arthur

ern comedian, heads the company Of

No Accidents From Falls.

1t is considered remarkable that
during the icy condition of the streets
there have been no serious accidents
from falls. Some say that because
Annapolis has no street cars, and
pedestrians do not have to rush to
dodge cars, automobiles and the like,
but can take their time on slippery
streets, accounts for no broken bones
during the past weeks freeze up.
