Leading from these are inclined
planes down which convalescing pa
tients can be wheeled or walk to the
ground.
The heating apparatus IL located In
the basement of the operating build
ing where there Is also an autopsy
room. The system of ventilation Is
a new one, but 1t is claimed to be so
arranged that every room VIII nave
constant supply Of 5000 cubic feet OF
warmed fresh air per hour for each
the basement, reaching the patients
rooms by a system of indirect radia-
ton which necessitates keeping the
Easements empty and absolutely
clean.
| For contagious diseases a conven-
iently- arranged cottage has besn
built some distance southwest or the
main plant. The ground floor contains
two wards arranged for two or three
beds each, a diet kitchen, store-room,
linen closet and bathroom, while on
the second floor are two nurses
rooms. In the basement are the
heating apparatus ana disiniec.ihs
room. Each ward has an airing ball
cony reached by a French easement,
and everything about the building Is
severely plain so that it can be disin-
fected as easily as possible. The only
fault about the isolation building is
that its arrangement prevents the
treatment of more than one kind OF
contagious disease at the same time.
The cottage at the entrance OF the
hospital grounds, formerly known as
the lodge, has been fitted up FOR a
nurses building. 1t contains nine bed
rooms and sitting room, with
bath and toilet room on each floor.
At present force of eight, aside
from the superintendent, head nurse
and district nurse, is employed about
the hospital plant, and this number
will in all probability have to be in
creased as soon as the institution Is
actually opened. To begin with, the
nursing staff will probably consist OF
the head nurse, one or two other
graduate nurses and four or five pu-
Dill nurses. It is the intention OF the
corporators to conduct training
school in connection with the hos
pital, and by this method the need OF
more than three or four graduate
nurses can be obviated

AROUSED IRE OF JEFFERSON.
Former Brattiebpro Congressman Did
Not Vote with His Party.

In the batch OF Family Letters of
Thomas jefferson in the current num-
her of Scribnerss magazine Is one In
which President Jefferson aludes to a
Vermont congressman, Hon. James
Elliot, in a decidedly uncomplimen-
tary fashion. Mr.. Elliot came from
Massachusetts to Guilford, afterwards
removing to Brattleboro where he was
admitted to the bar When only 30
years old he was elected to congress
in 1903, Jeffersonian democrat. He
was a captain in the. war of 1917. IL
seems that at one time during his frst
term in congress he did not vote with
his party which was then called by
the federals the revolutionary fac
ton" and in vindicatibn of his course
he wrote series of IL letters to his
constituents which wera published IN
the Windsor Journal, and copied into
some of the federal papers, and at
tracted wide attention. President JEFF
ferson, writing to his friend, j. W.
Eppes. under date of May q, 1905,
alludes to one of these Letters as fol-
lows:
You will see in the pGpers an extra
letter of Elliots of extraordinary as
pect, it contains some, absolute I'M
truths, but what is most remarkable
IN tnaL eXDTeSS1OllS sO put tcSSNi'
err as to be literally true when strict
" considered & analysed, and yet to
convey to 80 readers out of 100 the
most absolute and mischievous false
hoods. It is a most insidious attempt
to cover his own opininuS and pas
sions under the mantle of the execu-
tive and to fill with inuuietude the
republicans who have not the means
of good information
Mr.. Elliot apparently thought better
of President Jefferson than Jefferson
did of him, for he wrote to friend,
as quoted by the editor of the Jeffer.
son Family, Letters: believe tnat
jefferson is a man of great apilitles
and a sincere friend to republican
form of government, and l shall sup
port his. administration. so 1ar as IN
nv conscience l shall deem thelr
measure calculated to preserve the
Constitution and rights of the people.
He adds Il believe that the doc
trines preached by certain republicans
of distinction that men should al
here to their party in defiance OF tneir
God and that no regard should De
maid to the private characters OF can
didates for office. are equally immoral
and I'M republican; and sooner IMAM
embrace such detestabie doSmas l
will abandon society and WANDER III
the darkest depths of solitude MI
Elliot's independence did not com
pei him to abandon society or pubic
life, for his Vermont constituents gave
him two elections to congress AFTER
this; and later he represented Brattle-
boro in the general assembly and was
states attorney for Windham county
He died at Newfane in 1888 at the
age of GA and is buried beside his wile

Thorough Investigation of Three
Consulates in China

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE president
has ordered the state department to
make thorough investigation of the
United States cOnsuIates at Shanghai.
Canton and Annoy. Fer a year charges
have been flying backward and forward
affecting the conduct of the business at
those consulates and the consuls them
selves have INDUCED IN mutual re-
ordinations and charges that have
made il evident 10 the state depart
ment officials that there is need for
a thorough investigation, which viii
form the basis for complete change
OF consuls in the Orient. The system
Of eXtra-territorial jurisdiction con-
ferred upon the consuis IN the ad-
ministrauon OF the consular courts is
and it viii probably be necessary to
frame some scheme in its place that
win reduce the almost autocTatic pow
ers of the consuls and bring them into
clC ser responsibility TO the state de-
partment.
The charges referred TO are not new,
but as described in preceding dis
patches. relate to charges for mani
tests, for certi6eatiOn Of commercial
