Money Received and Discussed on Ac-
count Of Private Patients.


Mr.. Joseph K. McCammon, chairman OF
the executive committee Of the Garfield Me-
mortal Hospital, In response to a request
from the Commissioners made January ~
last has submitted to them statement OF
moneys received and disbursed by the hos
pital authorities on account Of the private
patients treated in the isolating wards Of
the institution.
Mr. McCammon safes that in view OF the
fact that there is likely to be a surplus or
the funds received from pay patients, 1t Is
suggested that $500 therefrom be used by
the hospital authorities toward paying the
expenses of the isolating ward for the pc
riod of five months from February 1 to
July 1, 1904. With this In view. Mr.. Nc
Cannon asks to amend his request for
81 600 for the maintenance of the isolating
wards during the remainder of the current
fiscal year, which was submitted several
months ago, by substituting request for
81 800 in the deficiency appropriation bill
for this purpose.
The hospital authorities some time ago
also requested that the regular appropria-
ton for the maintenance Of the isolating
ward be increased from 81, 900 to 5000 q
year. Mr.. McCammon now withdraws his
request for this increase in the annual ap-
preparation.

PLANS FOR AVOIDING PANIC.
Suggestion Made to Commissioners by
Civil Engineer of Budapest.

The Commissioners today received COM
munication from Gustav de Breymann
Schwertenberg. civil engineer. of Buda-
pest, giving his views on how to prevent
catastrophes and panics in the case of ac-
cidents or fires in theatres. The communi-
cation was addressed to the Lord Mayor
of the City Of Washington and the writer
states that he is sending a copy Of the
letter to the authorities of the cities in Eu-
rope, America, South Africa and Australia.
The plan suggested by the writer is to
have arranged along the side walls Of the
theaterS several exits, each painted a diff
ferent color. Corresponding with the exits
as to position. the writer proposes that the
backs of a certain number of rows of seats
be painted the same color as the exit. In
this way, he suggests, the color Of the
exit Is kept constantly before the mind of
the spectator, and in case of an accident
the audience will proceed in an orderly
manner to the exit which is painted the
same color as the backs of the seats in the
section they occupy.

Catfish Numerous.

The river flats in this vicinity are said to
be fairly alive with catfish, and the fish
ermen are making preparation for whole
sale capture. Catfish, old fishermen say,
hibernate in the mud of the fats during
the cold weather, when the river Is covered
with ice, but on the first indication Of
spring they begin to move, and this is what
is going on now. There is big demand
for catfish in the local market, and they
command good prices, so the fishermen are
after them with nets and line. The ap-
pearance of catfish in large numbers is
also said to be sign that the freezing
weather is over and that business on the
water can be resumed.
