growth Of the city It's beginning may
be said to date from 1866, when the coun..
ty commissions leased two wards Ia
the city hospital, IN which could be ac-.
commodated 10 patients: The beginning
Of the present series of buildings came
In 1875, but little more than quarter OF
a century ago; when two pavilions were
erected: From that time to the present
the institution has grown in size with
remarkable speed, The latest. buildings
to be added are one for the treatment of
contagious diseases, and another for the
care OF children. In the former of these
two l6O patients may be accommodated
at one time, and in tie latter 100 little
tots may find opportunity to recover
from their Affections, assisted in the
struggle by the best that medical science
can offer. From its beginning in 1866,
with accommodations for IL patients,
the hospital has grown to be one of the
largest and best appointed institutions
OF its kind in the world. It's employees
OF doctors, internes and nurses number
several hundred. Theprivilege of serv-
ing an internship here is fought for by
the medical students of the city, and for
tunate are those considered who pass
sufficiently high in their studies to land
the coveted prize.

It is not improbable that theslesser
expense of the new motor boats has
something to do with their popularity.
These "watermobiles," as they have
begun to be called, are tremendously
speedy, and their thrilling perform
ances may be consolation to the men
who are giving up the amplitude and
palatial elegance of the older steam
yachts. The water automobile may not
only be fast, but it may go at its best
speed without police interference. No
speed laws yet interfere with the new
wizards of the water.
A 50-foot motor boat, with good gas
oline engines may cost $4,000. It will
run about II miles an hour, normally.
A special speed boat, capable of Is
miles an hour, will cost twice as much.
Even on the largest of these boats,
two men at 800 a month is all the
crew that is needed, and since the fuel
is one pint Of gasoline an hour per
horsepower, with the market price
about Is cents a gallon, it may be
seen that the watermobile is vastly
less expensive luxury than the steam
pleasure yacht of the past.

are at London and Manchester, and
where the auspices have not always
been Of the best, or the associations
the most savory. The Ladies' Kennel
association here evidently thinks it
can do something with dog racing on
a better scale than that common in
England, and better than that OBJ
served among certain English factory
people who have tried this sort of
sport in various parts of the east. The
Wiry whippets who are selected for
this form of racing make astonishing
records am told that at Hampstead
the other day one of the whippets ran
220 yards in 1871 seconds. This record
will give some idea of the effectiveness
of these dogs as racers.
What is whippet? Originally, it
seems, a cross between an Italian
greyhound and fox terrier. In a gen
eral way it looks like one of the small
err types of greyhound. 1t is now a
distinct breed, different from a type
that might be produced by the origi-
nal cross. In race the whippet COW
ers from so to 220 yards. The races
are usually handicap, the distance be-
ing apportioned by weight. Sometimes
the races are run in heats, half a doz-
ea dogs in a heat.

"The Breaowlnners." AS the editor of
the Century said yesterday, there are
few instances in American literature
where anonymity has been so long
and SO successfully kept as in the case
of this novel. And he might have add
ed that there are few instances in the
history of any literature where so
many claimants have appeared and
disappeared. For a whole winter one
American, and not all obscure Ameri-
can, posed as the author of this book,
and was actually introduced to a men,
Der of the firm which issued the story.
Fortunately for the American at that
time the publisher himself did not
know who the author was, and thought
he had found him. Mr.. Glider, who
was editor of Scribner's when 1.-THE
Breadwinners" appeared, knows who
the author is. So do few others.
Most people of any literary informa-
ton have pretty firm conviction that
they know. There is very little doubt
that John Hay, Mr.. Roosevelt's secre-
tary of state, wrote "The Breadwin-
ners. He has never admitted that he
did, and he has never consented to
permit Mr.. Glider or any one else to
admit it. But the royalties on the
sale went to Mr.. Hay and still con-
tinue to go to him.
And yet within the week Charles
Frederick Adams is openly put for
ward as the author, and Mr. Adams
refuses to admit or deny that he is
guilty. BY inference Mr.. Adams de-
MES that he is the author, but he does
so in way that will lead many peo-
pie to suspect that he wishes, like so
many others, to be suspected.
Mr.. Hays refusal to admit the au-
thorship Of this much discussed novel
was understood in the first place to
have it's excuse in the fact that the
story touched upon the background
and people of Cleveland, O., Mr.. Hays
own city.

Chicago.-Upon its needy Of nearly
two and one-half millions of people
Cook county is expending each year
practically a round million of dollars
in various forms of charity. This is the
contribution to the poor of the county
government, and does not include the
sums expended either by the city or by
the various charitable organizations
Neither does it include the amounts ex-
pended year after year for buildings for
the charitable institutions.
This vast sum of money goes to care
for many classes of the INDECENT poor.
1t cares for the insane at Dunning; it
heals the wounds of the afflicted at
the Cook county hospital; it provides
food for the hungry and coal for the
cold through the medium of the county
agent. and it buries the pauper dead.
From the standpoint of the sociology
1cal student there are few more interest
ing places than Dunning. Within the
protecting walls of it's many buildings
hundreds of insane are cared for at all
times. To it the poor are sent, there to
complete their allotted days surrounded
by such necessities, if not luxuries, as
the public can bestow. There one may
find the representatives of all nations
and all peoples. The latest addition to
this remarkable institution is the hos
pital for INDECENT consumptives, built
upon the most modern lines, with fresh
air and sunshine to be had from every
side. Within this building about 100
patients may be accommodated at one
time. These patients come from the
overcrowded and infected slums. They
are the victims of the sweat shops and
the dust-ridden factories. The sunlight
and fresh air of Dunning gives to them
their one chance for life. Here they are
surrounded by such luxuries, provided
atpublic expense, as they have not known
before.

The Insane.

Cottages for the Insane at Dunning.
More pitiful in their helplessness than
the consumptives are the insane. Many
of them with reason driven out by the
troubles that beset the poor of large
city, the, to them, unsolvable problem
Of providing food, clothing and shelter
for families and self in the midst of COM
petition that is both nerve and muscle
wracking.
Unlike the new conditions in the state
prisons these poor demented souls are
not left to think of their troubles. Such
of them as are physically able to work
are provided with tasks that come as
greater boon than shelter, food and
clothing could possibly be alone. A
the great majority of those able to work.
On this farm is raised, by the help of
these workers, much of the vegetables
that are needed for the tables, much of
the feed for the COWS and horses neces-
sary to the maintenance of the place.
For the workers a pleasant cottage of
comm0dious size, 54x80 feet and two
stories high, has been built In addition
to the employed farm hands, the truck
gardener and his family, this building
will accommodate about IS of the men
tally deficient workers. Within it are
provided smoking rooms, lounging
rooms, toilet rooms, living rooms and
large air dormitories for the patients.
Around it may be found all the evidences
of farm life, chickens, hogs, cattle,
barns and sheds. Both inside and out
it is ideal for it's purpose. Here the boon
of work takes from the situation in
which these unfortunates find them
selves many of the terrors that would
otherwise surround the very idea of be-
ing public charge.
The less fortunate, those whose
troubles are so serious as to prevent
them from working, are equally well
provided for in pretty cottages, the sur
roundings of which are as ideal as the
purpose for which they are used makes
it possible to make them

The Cases Treated.
Children's Building at County Hospital

1t is interesting, even though some
what grewsome, to study the statistics
OF the cases treated at this great hos
pital. This may be done from a tabu-
lated statement recently issued by the
warden, which represents a year in
which total of 22,227 cases of all kinds
were treated. The warden in comment
ing on this tabulated statement says:
Not only among medical cases, but
far beyond any other disease or condi-
ton enumerated in our list, pneumonia,
with total of LII and death record
OF 536, stands out most prominently.
This is but another bit of evidence of the
alarming extent of this scourge. The
figures show a mortality of almost so
per cent.
Among medical cases, rheumatism
follows pneumonia in number of cases.
To it's credit are given SAL. Tubercu-
losis, with 534, does not quite equal the
number of deaths from pneumonia, and
gives very interesting comparison be-
tween these two diseases. Typhoid
fever shows total Of 439 and syphilis
QUO, DC1uG 4u4tS noteworthy III point
numbers.
ION the surgical side, fractures show
the greatest number of cases, ranging
close to thousand. The actual number
on record is 931, of which 866sare simple
and 65 compound. This division may
not be exact, as all cases reported SIM
ply as fractures, in which compound was
not specified, were classified under the
head Of simple fractures. 1t will be seen
by glance at the table that nearly all
varieties of fractures are included in
the record. Scalp wounds show total
of STA, while confused, gunshot, lacer-
ated, incised and punctured wounds are
all numerous.
"Cellulitis has $40 and, erysipelas 1872.
Hernia has 224 to it's credit, and appen-
dicitis las. 1t is more probable that a
considerable number of the 81 cases I'M
der peritonitis were originally due to ap-
pendicitis.''

exact figures the Gould out
lay, and the Manchester case have
seemed to be fairly we'll known-but
whatever the money expense, dukes
are likely to come high. Just now
much sympathy is being expressed for
the daughter of ex-governor and ex-
vice president, Levi P: Morton Helen
Morton has usually been spoken of as
the Countess Bosom Talleyrand-Peri-
cord. In France she is the duchess Of
Valencay. She may still like being
duchess, but she is tired of the duke,
of whose treatment of her there are
many conflicting stories. At all events
the duke and duchess began negotia-
lions for a divorce in the French
courts some weeks ago. The dukes
mother, the princess of Sagan, has
asked the pope to sanction a dissolu-
ton of the marriage, and the duchess
has applied to the civil courts.
Helen Morton was the most beauti-
full of Levi P. Morton's daughters. Her
marriage with Paul Louis Marie Arch
ambauld Bosom was called a love
match. The wedding was at st. Mary's
church in London, on October S, 1901.
Mr. Choate and the entire staff of the
American embassy were there, with
the duchess of Marlborough and bril-
liant company. The old duke of Tai
leyrand himself couldn't come, his legs
being bad. The Morton settlement OF
1000 year was q great boon to the
groom's family and everything looked
happy enough. The duchess has borne
no children, and this fact is mentioned
so frequently that it may be assumed
that it is made at least q pretense BY
the mother-in-law who Is appealing to
Rome for an annulment. 800.

Hospital for Contagious Diseases, County
Hospital.
Quite as interesting as either the in
situations at Dunning or the Cook coun-
ty hospital is what is called the outdoor
relief work of the county government,
consisting of feeding, clothing and
warming the poor who apply for assist
ance of this kind. In this work $114,000
was expended in 1908, and the best
method of illustrating what this means
may be by quoting a few items from the
report of the county's charity agent for
that year:
Provisions and coal were supplied
from one to u times during the year to
6,811 families. =.
1.-TWO million forty-two thousand four
hundred and eighty-nine pounds of pro-
visions we're distributed during the
year.
"Three thousand and four pairs OF
shoes were given children, to enable
them to attend school.
1.-TWO thousand nine hundred and fifty
four widows and 801 deserted women.

young children to support, were recipi-
ents of relief from one to II times in each
