suicidal, etc. and these cases have been prepared
for by about 80 rooms opening Off the central cor
ridor There are a few patients who are better
controlled by housing separately all the time,
while others require isolation at intervals.
It has also been demonstrated that the insane
recover much more rapidly where they are kept as
much as possible In the open air, and in this eli
mate 1t is practicable to keep them out of doors
almost all the year. To add to this there is a
large gallery IL feet wide and 176 feet long on the
south side This gallery Is protected on three
sides leaving only the southern side open and as
the upper story is screened by heavy wire guards
1t is practicable to keep the patients outside in all
but the very coolest weather.
With the exception of two rooms especially pre-
pared for suicidal patients the dividing partitions
extend to the height of 10 feet only Ceilings are
IA feet high and above that are gratings or lat
tice work, thus afording free circulation for air
throughout the building and providing each room
with well-nigh perfect ventilation. III IEa3
The building has a fourteen foot corridor
through the center and cross hall north and
south and there Is thus obtained strong central
draft providing an air circulation without regard
to the direction of the wind.
The hospital has frontage of 200 feet and the
two wings are each 80 feet deep. The structure is
OF brick, being two stories In height and having a
basement, part of which latter is used for the din

In the evening Governor Broward spoke at Lake
City. The train was late and 1t was nearly
o'clock before he began his speech, but the court
house was comfortably filed and the audience
was thoughtful and an attentive one AS the
hour was late the Governor dwelt upon only the
most important points of the subject, but the ef-
feet seemed to be the same as at Jasper At its
conclusion he asked the usual question, that u.s. II
there were any who wished more enlightenment or
further information DR.. Julian Of Lake City took
advantage OF the opportunity and questioned the
Governor as to the actions of previous Trustees
and their effects upon the present plans The
questions and answers developed the fact that pre-
vious Trustees had given deeds to railroads for
lands IN the Everglades and as the title to these
lands Is vested in the Trustees the deeds were
good and the lands 80 far as the people are con-
cerned, are gone and the Trustees are fighting

II might be true that the stars In their courses
fought against Sisera," but there is no doubt
whatever that the weather man was on the side OF
the Governor at Jasper last Saturday After two
days pf stormy weather the very brightness of the
sunshine Saturday morning invited every one to
come out, and when the Governor rose to begin his
speech atseleven o'clock he looked into the faces
of no less than six hundred people who had gather
ed there for the purpose OF getting information as
to the proposed drainage OF the Everglades and
tnesreal purpose OF the Constitutional Amendment
which they are asked to support in the November
eleclon.
It was whispered about that there was good
deal of opposition to this amendment and to the
plan OF the Trustees and that the Governor would
probably get cold comfort from Hamilton County

twenty minutes the people, most of them voters,
sat and listened and no one grew impatient and

no one went away. And when the Governor finally
concluded his speech and inquired II there were
any VINO wished to ask question or the further
elucidation OF any point he might not have made
clear only one of his listeners made answer and
his remark seemed to voice the sentiment of the
rest. He said, well, Governor, don't believe
there's anything to ask You've made everything
clear and you've made us all converts" The writ
er was tod afterwards that this gentleman was
one OF those who had been loudest In his denuncia
tons OF the drainage proposition
During the afternoon that the Governor spent IN

called on him at the hotel to express their anne

following ten thoughts were pre-
pared: First-Thou shalt have no
other gods before me- Second-Thou
shalt not make unto thee any craven
image. or any likeness of anything
that is in heaven above, or that is in
the earth beneath, or that IS in the
water under the earth: thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them. nor serve

jealous God, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children unto
the third and fourth generation OF
them that hate me; and showing
mercy unto thousands of them that
love me. and keep my command

guiltless that taketh his name in vain
