First Graduate Of The Local Hos
pita| Honored by The Board at Ex-
erCises in High School Auditorium.
AN ADDRESS BY DR.. j. A. BOOTH.

and stated that Thursday Is espe-
cially set apart as visiting day. Mr..
Harrington regretted the absenc be-
cause of illness of DR.. Lund, the on
ly member of the medical staff lot
present. He emphasized the fa&t
that the hospital is supported by voIA
untary offerings.
Dir. Booth Speaks.
Mr.. harrington then introduced
Dr. J. Arthur Booth of New York city
who, he said, had been of invaluable
assistance to the local physicians in
his capacity as member of the con-
sulting staff.
DR.. Booth, who read his address,
devoted his remarks chiefly to a de-
fense of small hospitals as opposed
to large hospitals from points of view
as benefits to patients and as training
schools for nurses, and he emphasize
ed the Importance of appreciation by
the public of the benefits of the hos
pital.
He enumerated the advantages OF
small hospitals, their small distance
from scenes of local accidents, and
the better individual attention be-
slowed upon patients in small ward
than in large ward where the nur-
ses and doctors have two or three
times as many cases to watch.
Dr. Booth, referring to the fire.
Quency of automobile accidents and
the consequent contusions and bruis-
es, said that small hospitals through
out the country are of great benefit
in that connection. He also lasserted
tnat local physicians who kndw many
of their patients, give the VERY best
of their interest and that accident pa
tients stand a better chance Of recoy~
cry if. they can be taken to a local
hospital than to travel by train or
other conveyance to some distant city
for hospital treatment, or ii treated
at their homes, where the facilities
are, at best, limited DR.. Booth also
said that the general practice which
nurse receives in a small hospital is
better than the strict curriculum OF a
large institution. He concluded by
addressing himself to Miss Wilson
and quoting a few lines of poetry.
DIR. Wilson Gives Diploma.
DR.. j. G. Wilson was enthusiastic
ally greeted as he stepped to the cen
ter of the stage to present the diplo-
ma, which he accomplished with brief
remarks.
Mr. Hartvig sang an opera selec-
tion and was twice recalled, giving a
pretty song as an encore. Mr.. Hart
Wig is the wonderful tenor who sang
in concert with Miss Clara Earring
ton, violinist, Tuesday night, at Bra
ga hall.
Mr.. Harrington then said he would
put Miss Wilson's nerve to the test,
and he pinned the class pin, the gift
of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Hos
pital Association, upon her dress. At
ter the next orchestra selection Mr..
Harrington presented Miss Wilson
with large floral bouquet from the
Ladies' Auxiliary and pointed to sew
eral more bouquets on the stage, sent
by friends. The benediction was
said by Dr. Snodgrass in the absence
of Rev J. H. Northrup.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-05-10

A report which reached this city
today that four men had been arrest
ed in Woodbridge on suspicion in con-
nection with the double murder at
Browntown was tracked down by a
NEWS reporter, who found it to be
untrue. The foundation for it lay in
the fact that Justice Wylie, of Wood
bridge, was informed by Hungarian
that several strange-looking men had
been seen in the locality of Wood
bridge. Justice Wylie said today that
he made an investigation but had not
located them yet.
The report which came to this city
stated that one of the men had a
broken arm and another a slashed
ear.

other one ahead going sideways 1rc
backwards just as he could.

Certainly Enhancing.

The Sweet Singer of Siwash sends
in this love outburst to be scattered
broadcast through the medium of the
western press:
When true love enters the heart
1t comes as flaming arrow:
The system feels the blazing dart
From cuticle to marrow!
The earth seems as golden day,
Ethereal Is existence,
And heaven not half mile away,
And down hill all the distance.
When love. true love. begins to surge
Within the soul in gladness,
It brings it's victim to the verge
OF sweet, delicious madness!
The heart-chords seem as fiddle
strings
On which is gaily dancing
The bow of that young god with
wings
My gawd! but it's enhancing!
