New Aerles Installed.

Bessemer, January 24.-(Special)-A
number of ladies'. including some of the
best musicians in the city, are arranging
for an interesting entertainment to be
given at the Elks hall some time during
the latter part of February.
The entertainment will be given under
the auspices of the local lodge Of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks
and will be in the nature OF a burlesaue,
the feature of which will be a mock
meeting of the city council of Ballyhaek,
in which many of the foibles and follies
of sure enough councilmen will be pro-
duced in farce comedy.
Mrs. E. A. Little is managing the affair
and is assembling a fine collection of
the best musical and theatrical talent in
the city.
The Charity Hospital.
The committee appointed some time ago
by the Bessemer Aerie of Eagles to take
up the matter Of the establishment OF
charity hospital in this city, report good
progress and are hopeful of having every
thing in shape for the formal opening
of the institution by February 1.
Bessemer Aerie Of Eagles will be one
year old on the first day of next month
and the members are very anxious to
celebrate the occasion with the dedica-
ton of the hospital.
The hospital was formerly the sugges-
ton Of DR.. J. s. Winters who has long
felt the need of such an institution in
the city. Several thousand men are en-
ployed In the large manufacturing plants
and mines In and around the city. These
men are in constant danger of accidents
and there is almost daily need for some
hospital or other like institution for TAX
ing proper care of them.
It was suggested that these people who
are peculiarly interested would gladly
subscribe the sum of ten cents per month
from their wages for the support of the
hospital and it is believed that almost
enough money can be raised in this way
to support the institution. The commit
tee that was assigned to the work Of
securing these subscriptions has been very
successful and it is understood that the
manufacturing concerns themselves will
gladly contribute to the support OF the
hospital.
1t is expected that a meeting Of the
committees will be called at an early
date and arrangements made for the
opening of the hospital. The local aerie
of Eagles has pledged itself to make up
any deficiency in moneys necessary to
sustain the institution.
