OF Interest to Our Rural Friends

1t may be of interest to our rural
friends to know that, according to
a ruling of the post Office depart
ment, the owners of the mail box
on the rural free delivery routes
has no control over it; it is subject
to government regulations only.
On free delivery route in Ohio, a
local carrier recently found in box
on his route two letters intended
for the owner the box, which had
been placed in it by some one in
passing, The letters were removed
to Washington with a request for a
ruling, The post Office department
sustained the action of the carrier
and announced that all mail found
in any box without stamps or the
proper amount of money for post
age, must be collected and taken to
the post Office from which the
route is operated and there held for
postage.

The Miners Hospital.

The vast extent of the charities
OF the state. and the wonderful
amount OF good accomplished by
them can scarcely be understood
without visit to some of the in
stitutions that are maintained by
the commonwealth. Prominent
among these is the Miners Hospi.
tai, near Ashland. This institution
was built by commission appoint
ed by the Governor, of which the
late d. A. Beckley was member.
1t is located on a plateau a mile or
two out OF town, and in the sum-
mer time is said to be a beautiful
place. The administration build
ing is large and commodious resi-
dence, occupied by the Superin-
tendent, DR.. J. c. Biddle and his
family and the assistant physicians,
and used also by the trustees when
present. The hospital wards are
back of this. There are accom-
modations for about $50 patients,
and 100 are now being cared for.
Most of the male patients receive
their injuries from mine accidents,
and many OF them would die, if left
at home, for lack of proper atten-
ton. There are separate wards for
males and females, and the children
are also provided for. A new ward
was opened last October, and in
this are a number of very nice
rooms for private patients. The
hospital is arranged and equipped
with up-to-date appliances, and it
has all been done in accordance
with the suggestions of DR.. Biddle
whose reputation as a surgeon
stands as one of the best in the
state.
New patients are brought in every
day, and besides those who remain
in the building there are crowds
coming daily for treatment in the
dispensary for any ailment that they
may have. Among he nurses in
the women's and children's ward is
Miss Mary Chromis, of Bloomsbury.
She is pleased with her work, and
those in charge speak very highly
of her intelligence and her faithful
attention to her duties. She was
formerly in the Columbia & Mon
tour Telephone Office here.
One never realizes the blessings
of good health and the escape from
accidents of all kinds. so much as
when one sees in a hospital the
many forms of disease and Of in
juries that come to human beings.
Some of the sights are sickening,
and yet the surroundings are such,
among them being perfect cleanli-
ness and the use OF every appliance
known to modern surgery, that
there was no indication of pain
visible among the many patients.
DR.. Biddle has heen the superin-
tendent of the Hospital since it was
started, and that he is the right
man in the right place there can be
no doubt.
Judge Herring is one of the
trustees of the Hospital. The
Board holds monthly meetings in
the building.
