In it's eleventh annual report Issued
during the past year, Mr.. Hultkrans
made the following statement:
During the past year 713 patients
have received care and treatment at
Bethesda hospital. This is the largest
number of sick treated during one year,
still we have been compelled to refuse
a large number of applications on &C

MOTHER AND HER GIRL
ATTACKED BY NEGRO
George E. Shields, of Roanoke, Va,
Finds His Family Nearly Dead.


ROANOKE, Va, Feb 6-When
George E. Shields arrived at his home,
in the center of the city, this afternoon.
he found his three-year- old daughter.
Mildred, lying on the entrance hall
floor in a pool of blood and his wife
pushed into narrow closet on the sec
ond floor with two wounds in her head
and unconscious.
A razor and a bloody Ratchet were
found on the floor just outside the
closet, the door of which had been bar
ricaded with a chair. Mrs. Shields has
regained consciousness sufficiently to
say that she was struck on the head
with the Ratchet by a large negro
The child will die and the mother
may be fatally wounded. There is no
clew to the would-be murderer The
motive is thought to have been rob-
berry. The city is in an excited condi-
ton over the tragedy.

g ONE of the old houses down in
- Lower Town-houses that in
local sense are historic-have, in their
time, seen many changes. Erected
when this part of st. Paul was the
fashionable residence district, they
have enjoyed their days of pride, and
even now, though some of them are
woefully down at the heel, they i'm
part an air of distinction to neigh
borhood that is today almost entirely
devoid of social splendor.
Substantially built, they have been
able to resist the inrOads of time, and
beside them the newer houses look
shoddy and characterless. The ma
jority of these houses are of the gen.
erous, colonial style, and when their
owners moved out it was found diff
cult to rent them to one family, for
they were too large for the renter of
average means. Therefore some be-
came boarding houses and some housed
two or three families, and still others
were rented or purchased for institu-
tional purposes.
Perhaps if the old houses themselves
had a voice in the matter they would
have stated that they preferred the
last fate, for, like the individual who
has seen better days and who, after an
experience with poverty, has secured
a position of trust that enables him to
lift up his head again, those old homes
doubtless enjoy the consciousness that
they are not yet superannuated, but
are able to do a part of the worlds

home in Lower Town was pressed into
work This was the old Gotham resi-
dence, which was purchased in 1900.
It was first occupied only by the SUI
perintendent and the nurses, but
year ago the Tabitha society carried
out a plan it had been slowly formu-
lating and opened a deaconess' home
in the old residence. Today the hospi-
tai has six wards and fourteen private
rooms, besides diet kitchens, commodi-
Gus bathrooms on each floor and three
finely fitted-up operating rooms on the
third floor.
Building Well Equipped.
In the basement of the building are
a large kitchen and dining room for
the nurses and the servants, cold stor-
age, cellar, boiler room, engineers
room, laundry and morgue. The inside
walls and ceiling are painted with
white enamel. The entire building is
furnished in hardwood, heated by
steam and lighted by electricity. An
admirable system of ventilation keeps
the air pure.
Bethesda hospital can now care for
sixty-fiv patients, but, had it the

for many more, for every year the

it hopes to erect in the spring on the
property adjoining the hospital. This
annex will contain sixteen rooms. A
few years ago Bethesda hospital had
one of the most attractive children's
wards of any hospital in the city, but.
as the work outgrew the accommoda-
tions it was decided to make private
rooms of this ward, and now the chill
dren are cared for in private rooms or
in one of the Woman's wards. There

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.

Ihere was one extraordinary Incl
dent at Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs' most
recent dinner. After coffee had been
served to the forty guests, Mrs. DEL
richs led forth the inventor, Peter
Cooper Hewitt. Mr.. Hewitt is modest
and shrank from his task of giving a
demonstration of his artificial day
light invention. The Oelrichs living
room had been fitted with several coils
of glass tubing. After Hewitt got to
work this tubing gave forth blush
light. The inventor explained the rays
contained the seven cOlors of the solar
spectrum. The Oelrichs guests looked
wise and nodded approvingly. Then
a photographer brought his camera
into the room and the dinner company
posed several times. These photo
graphs by the Cooper Hewitt light are
amusing, as we'll as interesting scien-
tifcally.

however, she does

this, she is trained

the time being. She

Every living bird and beast strives it's

retiring for the night and this food is
digested as the night progresses. The

Sunday school work, mission work and
friendly visiting.
In the hospital she does the same
work as a nurse, but does it because it
is sacred duty and not merely as
means Of gaining living. The young
woman who chooses to become a dea-
coness remains in the Deaconess home
as long as she remains in the calling
The home gives her the necessary
training and guides and protects her
in the work. Together with the other
sisters, she makes the Deaconess home
her home, and performs her work I'M
der its direction. Besides board, room
and washing, the institution furnishes
the deaconess with enough money for
comfortable clothes and with pocket
money. In sickness or old age she is
taken care of in the home.
In the hospital the deaconess wears
a light blue dress, white apron, white
half sleeves and a quaint cap or bon
net. This last named article is not at
all like the caps worn by the nurses in
the city hospital, st. Joseph's or st.
Luke's. It has distinctly foreign
look and was first adopted by a re-
hgious order in Sweden. On the street
the deaconesses wear black bonnets
and wells and. long black cloaks with
capes.
Training School for Nurses.
In addition to this deaconess home,
Bethesda hospital has training school
for nurses which graduates a. number
of young women every year. The
course is three years. The hospital au-
thorities prefer that the nurses should
be deaconesses and hope in time to
have it so. Inasmuch as the latter
take up the work from a sense of duty
rather than as a means merely of earn

George e. Greene Has Such Faith In
This Great Dyspepsia Remedy That
He Guarantees Il.

II is an unusual thing for n drug
gist 10 sell a medicine under a guar.
antee TO refund the money II II does
not cure. Yet this is the way George
II, Greene, the popular druggist, liz
selling Mi-o-na, the standard dyspep-
sia remedy.
Never before has he had so large
a number OF customers tell him that
a medicine has cured as with Mi-o-na.
People who a few months ago looked
like walking skeletons have put ON
flesh and to-day are rudy and vigor-
Gus with perfect digestion and good
health, solely due to the use Of this
remedy.
There is no longer any need Of any
one suffering or making their friends
suffer ON account of dyspepsia, for
Mi-o-na can be relied upon to cure.
The percentage of cures is so nearly
one hundred per cent that there Is
little risk to George Il. Greene In
guaranteeing to return the money II
the medicine does not cure. and he
stands ready to do so without any
questions.
Headaches. all forms of indigestion,
specks before the eyes, dizzy feelings,
poor sleep, ringing in the ears and all
forms of liver trouble are cured by

ment shows considerable gain in
