pital provided for in the will Of the late
Charles T. Yerkes, the traction pro-
moter, who died in this city last week,
will be built at once. 1t will be located
in the borough Of the Bronx.
This announcement was made Satur-
day by DR.. J. E. Janvrin, speaking for
Mrs. Yerkes. DR.. Janvrin said that a
beginning will be made just as soon as
the estate of Mr.. Yerkes is settled. in
stead of waiting until after Mrs.
Yerkes' death. as provided in the WILL
He said that the projected hospital
was entirely Mrs. Yerkes' own idea,
and that Mr. Yerkes in making pro-
vision for the hospital in his will was
only carrying out Mrs. Yerkes' ideas
and desire.
The hospital according to the terms
of Mr.. Yerkes' will, is to be free to all
who are too poor to pay for medical
gardless of creed, race or color. The
grounds and buildings are not to cost
more than $500. 900, but for their support
more than half of Mr.. Yerkes' estate
will ultimately revert. This Will
furnish an endowment fund which it is
now estimated Will dHlouiil " lioiii
100000 to sS.0OO.00o.
DR.. Janvrin said, on Mrs. Yerkes'
will giving her residence and Its con-
tents, after her death. to the Metropoli-
tan Museum Of Art, was made by mu-
tual agreement between Mr.. and Mrs.
Yerkes. DR.. Janvrin Is Mrs. Yerkes'
physician and was also Mr. Yerkes ply
sician for many years. His statement
is as follows:
1.-THE idea Of a hospital was Mrs.
Yerkes' plan absolutely. 1t was first
outlined April 49, 1892, at the Fifth-avc
hotel i'm this city at a conference be
tween Mrs Yerkes. Mr.. Yerkes and
myself. At Mrs. Yerkes' suggestion
recommended that general hospital
be erected. not too large to be absO-
lutely supported by the endowment. to
be located In the upper part of the city,
and to be absolutely free to the de-
serving poor.
when the estate is settled Mrs.
Yerkes will herself begin the erection
Of the hospital, thereby carrying out a
long-cherished ambition.
She wishes to see to ii herself that
the hospital is done. and done accord
ing to her ideas.
Mr. Yerkcs will was drawn up as
both Mr.. and Mrs. Yerkcs wished. The
provision to give the New York resi-
dence to the Metropolitan Museum q!
Art was made according to a muttla
understanding. and had been deci led
on by Mr. and Mrs. Ycrkcs for years

Wilmington, December II.
Bond the County.

Editor The Evening Journal
l am glad to learn through the coll
umns of The Evening Journal that
members OF our Levy Court and a large
number Of residents Of upper New
Castle county are in favor Of bonding
the county In a reasonable sum for
good road purposes. Surely there can
be no more necessary adjunct to
thriving city like Wilmington than
good roads leading TO its doors. The
average man who lives in a city does
not realize, perhaps, what 1t is to
those living without its boundaries to
have an easy access 10 the market
Which supplies him with the necessary
articles of life, as well as those arti-
cles by which he is enabled to obtain
a livelihood. The city man." lying in
his warm bed on a stormy morning,
has no dreams OF the farmer strug-
Cling along a country road. his wagon
hub deep In mud, in order that he may
supply his customers with food for
their breakfast table The dealer or
Spectator in grain does not stop to
think that the very men who are haul
ing grain to his storehouses are Obliged
TO do so under the greatest OF difhcul-
ties The good roads proposition is
one that should not only appeal 10
mans pocketbook, but also to his hui
name nature. Think Of the beasts Of
burden. the horse which Is compelled
TO strain and tug along. pulling a
heavy load Of farm products possibly
through mre or over rocky roads
which are enough to shatter the hearts
OF the stoutest Think Of the driver Of
these poor beasts and the loss he may
suffer by the breaking down Of his
team or the sudden dropping dead. Of
a broken heart, Of one Of his horses.
You have often heard OF a horse pull
T ing hard enough 10 pull the heart out
OF him. and that Is what nine tenths
OF the horses do that travel over a
number Of roads that lead TO our city.
Let US bond the county and build
good roads. Our children will pay the
debt after we are gone and bless us
for creating IT, Yours,
For Good Roads.

WARNING TO LIQUOR DEALERS.

pROPRIETORS Of hotels and saloons will be
= douby on their guard not to violate the law
regarding the sale of liquor. The court has a
watchful eye upon them. The licenses we're
withdrawn from the Milford hotels, and now an
other leading hotel of the State that at Middle
town, has lost its license, while the fate has
overtaken place at Odessa. These decisions Of
the courts should be warnings to hotel men that
the law must be obeyed or they will be literally
put out of business.
The temperance people have in mind action
against other hotels in Delaware towns, and their
agitation is not likely to be dropped With this
war on the hotels and the efforts to secure ad-
verse legislation at the next session of the General
Assembly the liquor men will be "up against it. !"
But those who have their licenses need have no
fear so long as they obey the law.
