Just a glance at the long list Of hospitals in
this city is enough to show how chaotic the
conditions with which they now have to con-
kinds. each related only loosely to the others.
There are the city hospitals. for example, like
Bellevue and its allied institutions. including
Gouverneur Harlem and Fordham hospitals,
which are supported entirely by municipal funds
Contrasted with these the private hospitals
q great host, founded for various reasons-for
the benefit of church. a race, a school of medi-
cine or in memory of name. Forty-six of these.
such as Mount Sinai. the New-York Homoeo-
pathic and the J. Hood Wright, receive money
from the city for the care of so-called pauper
patients; whereas others, which thus constitute
a third class. receive their sole support from
group called the big Four" including St.
Luke's Roosevelt. the Presbyterian and the
New-York Hospital
What adds still more to the confusion of hos
, pital management is the fact that all these IN
situations are more or less under the control Of
four different municipal departments. Bellevue
and its allied hospitals, for example which are
all in Manhattan and The Bronx, under the
management of an independent board of trus-
tees. The city hospitals in the other boroughs
under the control of the Department of
the public wards on the islands in the East River.
The Health Department also has its hospitals
for the care of contagious and infectious dis
eases, and for consumptive patients. The Police
Department is the fourth division of municipal

one item Of gauze, and which has so reduced
expenses in other ways that, although Bellevue
has 5000 more patients than couple Of years
ago, or an increase of about one-fourth, i IS
costing the city no more
Before these reports the waste of gauze,
ether, alcohol and other materials was tremen-
dous. A surgeon. for example, would sometimes
use ten times more gauze for charity patient
than for one of his own private cases. The
reason was thistle supply of gauze appeared
unlimited Ward patients also were bathed
from head to foot with alcohol to keep down
fever in pneumonia cases. whereas in private
practice only water would be used. Internes
in preparing for surgical operation would
deluge a limb with a flood of ether instead OF
simply using a sponge, nostened with this huld.
"AlI this extravag ance was due to the fact
that no proper accounting was made Of the use
of hospital supplies And Just as soon as a
system of reports was established by which each
of the ten divisions of Bellevue showed each
week Just what it had used we found out where
things were going We could compare one d.
vision with another, could see at a glance
whether one was run more economically than
another-whether. for example, more gauze was
being used on similar cases by this or that
surgeon. III
IF such a comparison of figures could bring
c1lrtailnent in one institution how much more

TrnknoWn to the general public the hospitals
q, This city are working on a plan which it is
s1nected will practically double the scope of
their benefcent work Some regard the scheme
:, foot as too revolutionary to be realized IN
the near future. Others call it altogether inn
possble. The majority. however, say that it is
absolutely necessary If the hospital system OF
this city IS to keep pace with the tremendously
growing needs of the community.
In word, the plan is to put these institutions
for the care OF the sick on a business basis. It
has been charged that many hospitals, which
hear themselves proudly among their fellows
which boast Of the number and bigness of their
Ieraces and contributions. the elegance and
sanitary perfection of their buildings. and the
skin of their physicians and surgeons, are, after
all. like leaky ships. constantly struggling to
keep afoat The leaks are in their treasures
Money is lost through the wastefulness Of sur
eeons or their attendants. or through the thiev-
ing or graft Of 'the help" Much of this
waste Is due to the lax methods of keeping ac-
counts which still prevail in most of these in
stitutions and to their still looser systems Of
inspection. Trustees. who are men too engrossed
with their own business affairs, have shifted the
control of things to superintendent. supertn-
tendents. too absorbed in the large problems Of
hospital work have turned over the details to
their subordinates And these subordinates, from
ore stage 10 another. have frequently managed
affairs with so little sense OF responsibility that
the .leaks'' are not only constantly multiplying,
but widening .- s...s-s .-a
The new plan. It is said by its supporters. VIII
prevent the waste.
On the other hand, there are powerful hospitals
which although themselves managed efficiently,
are nevertheless seriously Handicapped. by the
disiointed system of which they are isolated
parts. AT the present time these institutions
are mana ged so independently that one of them
cannot benefit to any appreciable degree from
the experience OF others. They draw up their
reports SO differently that comparisons are prac-
fically impossible. In the past too, there has
been such q, spirit OF rivalry. between some of
these institutions that they have even spurncd
any suggestion OF cooperation. They have, for
example spent legacies outright to wipe out
deficits, which, if invested, would have helped
support their work for all time. And they have
done this to make it appear that they were
more prosperous than their neighbors.
The present movement, It is urged will bring
the hospitals into one harmonious whole in
which each may benefit by the success of others

The movement to put the hospitals of this
city on a business basis. to bring about CO.
operation, to curtail wasteful expenditures. and
thus greatly to enlarge their powers of good in
the community started in March Of this
year by the Association for the Improvement Of
the Condition of the Poor The heads of the
various hospitals were brought together and a
series of conferences started which, it is ex-
pected, will eventually bring about permanent
alliance and lead to a complete overhauling Of
the methods of hospital management. An asso-
citation of hospital superintendent has been
formed. the first of its kind in the medical his
tory of the city, and at its next meeting it will
discuss list of rules to prevent the waste Of
hospital supplies These il approved. will be
posted in the hospitals represented, and it is
expected that they viii effect a saving all told

mony in rebuttal in his contest for the

they had voted the republican ticket,
though the ballots whose numbers corre-
sponded with their names on the poll books
in the ballot box were democratic. Only
three of these witnesses had written their
ballots without assistance from the judges.
Two of the three identified their ballots
among those unchallenged by the experts.
They bore the heading Republican" but
the numbers on them were different from
those entered in the poll books. The books
were in confused state, and 1t was shown
that In several cases different numbers ap-
peared against the same name In the books.
Five witnesses from precinct g. ward II,
one Of the finest resident districts, were ex-
amined. The numbers on the ballots in this
precinct and in the poll books were also evil
IDENTIFY careessly kept as in every case the
correct ballot was found by the witnesses
properly numbered, according to one poll
book, but incorrectly according to the
others.
BY mutual consent two democratic bal
lots, both marked with the same number
were put in evidence. The committee ad-
journed until tomorrow afternoon.

LOCAL PRINCE BRANCH RUNS
Has No Advice from Parent House
and Continues Doing
Light Business.

The local branch Of the e. H. Prince
Commission company. which is reported
to have failed in Chicago is still receiving
the grain market quotations in the
Board of Trade building and is without
information as to the condition of the
house. kilograms have been sent to Chi
cago but as yet no answer has been re-
ceived and the management of the local
branch has only the press dispatches to
rely on. 1t is hoped, however (as these
say the trades have been transferred to
another house,. the customers have been
protected. 1t is estimated In the building
only about 5000 loss will follow a complete
failure. The house enjoyed a good busi-
ness, but at the present time mad no large
trades on In Omaha. The loss will be di-
vided among a number Of speculaters.
The Prince company has forty-eight
houses In the country. In Nebraska 1t
was not very largely represented and had
no branch at Lincoln.

MISSOURI PACIFIC is ALONE
No Local Road Has Yet Met Its
Latest Reduction of Rates
on Grain. ....

Whatever the other lines are doing, lf
anything. to meet the corn and oats rates
announced Wednesday by the Missouri Pa
cifc to points in Arkansas, Louisiana and
the south, the same has not yet been given
out. 1t is stated by one railroad man that
the st. Louis & San Francisco announced
a rate OF IL cents per hundred on corn and
oats from Kansas City to Texarkana and
Shreveport, and that some of the lines
south OF Kansas City would cut the Kansas
City rate S1f cents under the Omaha rate,
no matter what the latter might be. In
this connection the Missouri Pacific people
said they have reduced the differeutial over
Kansas City 3h cents, which would benefit
the Omaha grain market and place the
Omaha and Kansas City rates to the terri
tory mentioned on the same basis.

the matter is under consideration by this
company, but nothing has as yet been an

THINK 1T OVER.
Something You Can See in An
Restaurant or Cafe.

Something You Can See in Any
Restaurant or Cafe.
A physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed IN any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number of
hearty. vigorous old men at the tables
men whose ages run from 60 to so years;
many of them bald and all perhaps gray.
but none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to
have escaped your observation or comment.
but nevertheless II Is an object lesson which
means something.
II you will notice what these hearty old
fellows are eating you will observe that
they are not munching bran, crackers nor
gingerly picking their way through a menu
card OF new tangled health foods; on the
contrary they seem to prefer a juicy roast
of beef, a properly turned loin OF mutton.
and even the deadly broiled lobster Is not
altogether ignored
The point of all this is that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty Of wholesome food, and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran
crackers.
There is a certain class OF food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee
and many other good things are rank
poisons, but these cadaveTous sickly-look-
ing individuals are walking condemnation
OF their own theories,
The matter in a nutshell is that II the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices in sufficient qualities any Wholesome
food will be promptly dgested: II the
stomach does not do so, and certain foods
cause distress. one or two OF Stuart's Dva-
pepsia Tablets after each meal will remove

every weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
Debate on Admission of Swayne's
Statement.

Debate on Admission of swRyne's
Statement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Aside from two
hours spent in routine business the senate
today gave its entire attention to the
Swayne Impeachment trial. Two hours and
half OF the time given to that case was
spent behind closed doors considering the
admissibility of a statement made by Judge
Swayne before a committee of the house
of representatives.
The point was argued at length by a
number of lawyers of the senate. 1t in
volved construction of the statute of 1862,
which provides that a statement made by
witness called before a congressional COM
mittee cannot be used against him in a
criminal proceeding in a court. Senators
favoring the admissibility Of the statement
as rule contended that the impeachment
proceedings are not criminal in character
and that the senate sitting for the trial of
Judge Swayne is not a court in the sense
In which that word Is used in the statute
Mr. Bailey presented this view at length.
Mr.. Spooner, who agreed with him as to
the admissibility of the statement, took
issue with him on the points mentioned. but
based his plea on the fact that Judge
Swayne had appeared voluntarily before
the house committee, arguing that in doing
so he removed himself from the protection
of the law. On the other hand, Messrs.
Foraker and McCumber contended that the
statute is so broad In scope as to apply to
witnesses. They said its purpose was to
protect witnesses against the sense of fear
In giving testimony before congressional
committees.
Mr.. Bacon, who had previously voted
against the admissibility OF the Swayne
statement, today spoke in support OF its
acceptance, saying that an examination of
the statutes had convinced him, of his error
on the previous occasion Mr.. Clarke of
Arkansas was speaking when the senate
took a recess until II o'clock tomorrow,
with the intention of proceeding with the
case Immediately on converting.
Only two witnesses were examined today
and when they were excused the house
members announced that they would close
their case with the testimony OF one more
witness, who has not arrived in the city.
Meanwhile the case of the respondent will
be presented as soon as the legal point in
Controversy is settled.
