The Boston Consumptives hospital

a. the old Conness estate, midway be-

Mills. Although there has been
| consumptives' camp there for two
| years IL has not been under the direc.
tion OF the city, nor has there been a
! permanent building. Thus was marked
| the start of the movement for the mu-
! nicipal control OF the disease in Bos-
ton and also the occasion served 10
! dedicate the new building for the use OF
| outpatients.
This building has just been complet-

modate 1870 patients. In front Of the
building is a broad piazza which will
be shaded from the sun. Here may be
| treated as many as 200 patients and
| The surrounding woods and rocks make
ideal resting places.
Besides medical treatment il Is the
intention to give instruction TO the psL
ticnts, 50 that they may know how to
| take care OF themselves and prevent
spreading the disease TO others.
Three meals are provided daily, good
substantial food being served, and as
much milk as the patients can drink.
Situated on the top OF hill, where
every breath OF air that comes over
the country can be felt, the hospital
seems TO bc an ideal spot
Some time this month or next, the
exact date depending somewhat on the
contractors the statue OF General and
former Governor Nathaniel =. Banks
will take it's place among the mcmor-
ials to Massachusetts notable that
adorn the State House grounds.
The statue Itself a bronze Of he
roic size, has been finished for some
time, and at present is In the pos
session OF Artist Henry X. Kitson OF
Quincy. A few days ago the cement
foundation for the work was put
down, and later the FIRST instalments of
cut granite that will form fitting base
for the bronze were hauled to the state
| house grounds.
At the present time there are less
| than dozen sections of the granite on
| on the ground, and these only Of the
smallest. They win form the orna-
mental rest of the base which will rise
| in simple curve directly from the
| lawn. From these the base, which is TO
| be about - feet in height, will extend
upward in solid granite blocks, the
effect of the whole to be one of mas
| siveness. Upon this foundation will be
| placed the capstone, a mammoth slab
of gray granite weighing % tons, and
| from this will rise the bronze efiigy of
| the distinguished soldier and states
| man.
To Gen. Banks has been accorded in

custodans of the State House. the
| choicest location about the Capitol
grounds.
Ii is expected that the formal ac-
ceptance and unveiling will take place
| some time in August, and the af.
fair will be made notable one, al
| though just what the program will be
has not yet been determined, nor will
