their monthly pay two days ago, and It is
thought by the police that the reason for
the attack may have been robbery If 1t
was the murderers fled without securing
any or the money possessed by the men
who were shot. The two wounded men
were unconscious until this afternoon.

the preparation .of an index to all publica-
lions of the government from 1881. the date

MEMPHIS, Tenn, November .. -Presi-
dents managers and other officials Of the
Sou thern Base Ball Association clubs met
with President w. NJ. Kavanaugh here to-
day in annual conference. The most Inn
portant question to engage the attention OF
the magnates is the adoption of a salary
limit. Judge Kavanaugh will recommend
that the league adopt a salary limit as pro-
vided for class A clubs, and that limit
not exceeding thirteen players be adopted.
Each player, according to Judge Kaya-
naugh's plan, will be required to sign
semi-monthly pay roll. According to the
plan, afiidavits will be exaeted from club
officials that no player will receive, directly
or indirectly or by subterfuge, compensa-
ton other than that shown in the pay roll.
For violation of the agreement 1t is pro-
posed that Immediate forfeiture Of the

A NEW ST. EL|zADETH'S
Transformation Of Hospital
for Insane.

AN IMPRESSIVE SIGHT

The transformation of the Government
Hospital for the Insane into a most pic
turesque settlement, resembling in some re-
snects the walled cities of old, is almost
complete.
Within the past two or three years fifteen
handsome new buildings have been added to
the official colony on the heights overlook
ing Washington from the east, and the
scene now presented within the Enclosure is
a pretty one indeed.
With the broad lawns and splendid drive
ways and paths; the shrubbery and trees,
and the winding Potomac below, the pic
ture from a distance suggests the pertec-
ton of architectural and landscape arts.
So impressive is the sight that visitor
from England recently remarked that no
other country in the world bestows such
care and comforts those of its unfortu-
nate wards whose condition is due to the
failure of their mental faculties.
The New Buildings.
ST. EIizabeth's has become one of the
beauty spots OF the capital, and strangers
who fail to visit 1t miss one of the most
interesting and instructive sights here
apouts. The fifteen buildings recently COM
pleted represent approximately an outlay of
$1,5O0.000. The group of new structures in
the north grounds include the administra-
high white pillars In colonial style, forming
distinct addition to the picturesqueness
of the place. On one side of 1t is b
building, which is for male patients and
for the treatment of acute cases of insdn-
ity. On the opposite side of the hall OF ad-
ministration is "C'' building for the recep-
ton of female patients. In the Easements
of both edifices are complete therapeutic
outfits while in &c" building is a thor
oughly equipped modern operating room for
the entire institution.
In the. same group is M building for
white female epileptics. In "B' and C
buildings are also observation wards, IN
which are placed cases that are presumably
durable
Among other results that have been &C
&C mplished under the direction of DR.. VIII
liam A. White the superintendent are
these: Eight-inch sewer pipe has been laid
from the west side of the grounds to the
east side, 1.49S feet. Drainage and sewer
connections have been made from the main
sewer to buildings L, ]. K. r, Q, N, T, A,
and power house. a six-inch water main
has been laid from the west to the east
side of the grounds, a length of some LOO
feet and water connections have been made
to buildings r, l, N, P, B, A. c. M, Il, q. j,
and h. Both the contracts for screen doors
and windows and that for window guards
throughout the new buildings have been
completed Rubber stair treads have been
placed in a number of the buildings, and
hydraulic freight elevator has been in
stalled in the Toner kitchen.
