WEAPONS OF SAVAGES
IN MISSIONARY SHOW

Wonderfully interesting is the mis-
sionary exhibit displayed at Wesley
M: p. church in connection with the
missionary convention which opens
there this evening.
The exhibit occupies every available
foot of room in the large Sunday school
rooms. Tables in the center of the
main room are filed, and the walls and
special racks contain maps, illustra.
tions and calculations.
One corner is used for a display Of
foreign gods: These are Of all sizes,
made Of clay, wood and curiously
worked metals. Native weaving and
needlework from various uncivilized
countries are attractive. A long table
occupying one side of the room contains
weapons Of war used by savages. These
include ugly, crudely wrought swords
spears Of all sizes, and Of odd workman
ship, Misunderstanding war clubs, dirks
and knives. 5. -,
Another interesting portion of the ex.
hibit is a display of samples of mis-
sionary literature, printed in nearly
every known tongue and all from the
presses Of church missionary publishing
houses
Every article at the exhibit is la
beled, and attendants in charge arc
ever ready to explain the curios to Wis
itors. The exhibit is one that must be
seen to be appreciated, and affords an
opportunity for a very interesting hour

WILCOX HOME BECOMES
EAST SIDE HOSPITAL

In the remarkably short period of five
weeks a hospital has been projected and
assured for the East Side. Only so long
as is required to remodel the site chosen
and place the equipment necessary for
a modern institution will the enterpris-
ing section be required to wait for the
opening of the hospital, and with the
other substantial monument to the un-
firing energy of the wideawake business
men of that growing community.
The proposal of DR.. A. f. Wilcox to
acquire the old j. F.. Wilcox home for
the hospital was enthusiastically re-
ceived by the members Of the St. An
thony Medical society last night and the
that will be needed to float the project
insured the early completion of the long
| needed institution. The offer made to
the society for the transfer of the Will
cox home was SO liberal and the location
of the place SO we'll adapted for the
purpose that there was not the sem
blance of debate when the proposition
was broached. No &sooner had the gen;
eral outline been made and the corpora
ton papers read than the physicians
began subscribing and a good nucleus
! for the $4,000 that will be subscribed
was obtained. g.
The Wilcox homestead. which will be
utilized for the hospital, stands at
Sixth street and Sixth avenue Sc. II
is as admirably appointed as it is con
veniently located for the purpose tt
which it will be devoted. A stock com
pany, to be Incorporated, will be
formed at once and the project carried
to early contamination with the same
speed that brought it to a certainty
so rapidly. .s..--

With the bravery that is seldom seen
