to the business BSCllOn hAu SSb NANh oiA the advantages of quiet. are the two great advantages of the new hospital which Is just being completed by Drs. Robinson and Hanby.
 As one approaches along Second avenue the appearance of the old library build Ing, now almost rebuilt, Is most pleasing to the eye. Large oaks spread their limbs in front of the bare side of the wall, and possibilities of beautiful lawn next year appeal to the imagination. Coming up the new cement walks and taking full view of tho building with its high front veranda, broad port-cochere, and peaceful surroundings, one is strongly impressed with the fact that no better situation for 1 a hospital can be found.
 The interior of the upper floor has been divided into thirteen rooms. All are plas- l tered and painted, and the floors will be waxed and vanished. One register Is to l be placed in each room and four in the 1 halls and every convenience of the mod | ern infirmary will be installed. l A small hall crosses the building just at the entrance and on the right and left will be the offices of Dr. Robinson and pr. Hanby. A passageway running the l full length of the building is joined to | this, and the rooms open on each side. | First on the right Is a large ladies' re- l ception room, which will be beautifully 1 furnished and is pleasantly lighted. Num- l Der three is a comfortable private ward, 1 one of the best with the morning sun and large windows. The nurses room Is 1 number five convenient to all parts of the intirmary and opening Into the reception | room.
 1 After another ladies' room, is found the large. well ventilated railroad ward with several cots and preparations for receiv- ing accidents and seriously injured people The linen room and the sterilizing labra- tory follow next in order. The latter Is provided with a modern invention, pedal faucet for hot and cold water, enabling the doctor to turn on the faucet with his foot when his hands are busy.
 The left hand side is a series of beaqti- ful wards, which are said to be the pick by all who have examined Number ? Is known as the Kennedy room, as 1t will | be furnished by the Kennedy Furniture | company The two secret orders, Knights of Pythians and Elks, have each chosen deliehtful rooms which they will furnish, | to be used by their members at special rate. The ladies of the United Charities have also been allotted special ward which will be used for the poor or the city at reduced prices
 On the lower floor is the ground entrance to the alley, where patients will be taken from the ambulances, and if badly injured they will be cleaned In an adjoining room especially provided for that purpose before being taken to the operating room, a we'll lighted perfectly convenient sur geon's apartment.
 Two colored wards and the kitchen finish up the lower floor. The remainder will be used for heating plant, which will be 1 installed by the Bessemer Cornice works.
 A private entrance for the physicians. and a protection for their vehicles, is pro- vided on the right. The whole building will be lighted by electricity and a bril- liant electroleer is to be installed In the front hall. Other modern improvements are too numerous to mention, but the peo- pie of Bessemer may feel confident that they will be provided with the most com fortable quarters that can possibly be arranged.
 Drs. Robinson and Hanby are two of the best known doctors in the district They are ably assisted by a head nurse of training and experience Mrs. Laura R. Mullin, very popular In Bessemer, and the daughter of Judge Mortimer M Reyn- olds, who was one of the most prominent lawyers of New Orleans.
 The hospital will be occupied next Tues day The people of Bessemer are rejoicing in the great addition to their facilities for aiding the sick and injured.
 New Machinery.
 The Bessemer Foundry and Machine | company has recently purchased and in- stalled in their plant siXty-three inch, twenty-seven foot lathe at a cost of sG000. The company has had a great deal of work recently in the manufacture of heavy castings for sugar house work, and it was necessary for them to have a large lathe of the kind to turn up pipe, and for turning the very heavy castings used in the manufacture of sugar.
 Many of the largest firms in the south have. given orders to the company and the work turned out has been of the highest character. Already inquiries are being made for heavy work to be done for next year. The companies generally begin asking for prices In the early spring, with the idea of shipping to points in Cuba and Mexico. The Bessemer Foundry and Machine company is excel lently equipped for this class of work and will have orders to fill during the winter and early spring.
