STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES AND
REFORM PAYS OFFICIAL WIS.,

PERINTENpENT.
Caught Him unawares at Early Hour
in Morning, But found Everything
In Best Of condltlon-New Wing
Inspected and Work Pronounced
of Highly satisfactory Character
Room for Private Patients.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 13.-The
state board of charities and reform,
consisting of Governor B. B. Brooks.
Secretary Of State William R. Schnit-
ger, State Treasurer E. Gillette, Audi
tor of State Leroy Grant and State
Superintendent A. d. Cook, with the
exception of Mr.. Grant, returned to
Cheyenne late last night from an of.
fetal trip to Rock Springs. The pur-
pose of the trip was the inspection of
the Wyoming general hospital and the
reception Of q new wing, for which an
appropriation was made, by the last
legislature and which has just leen
completed by the contractor.
Great Credit to State.
The board found the hospital in ex.
cellent condition and pronounced the
work Of Contractor Kellogg, a local
builder, excellent in every respect,
The new wing is an addition to the
south of the main building. 1t o
sists of a basement and two stories
above and has tweuty. light rooms. The
finishing throughout is Of hard wood
and the entire structure Is now a great
credit to the state.
Rooms for Private Patients.
In the new part Of III building are
wards that may be used for private pa.
tients who are able to afford to pay
well for good rooms and more personal
attention than the regular hospital pa
TENTS. These rooms are such than
they may be used very nicely for de-
tention purposes.
Has Own Light Plant.
The electric light system of the hos.
pital has already been extended to the
new portion of the building and is
working perfectly. The hospital has
its own plant entirely separate from
the city system. In the next ten days
an electric elevator will be installed,
the material now being on the ground.
This will aid in a great degree in the
transferring of patients from one floor
to another, a. well as other people
and supplies.
Board Feels Good.
The state board Is very much graft
fed over the manner in which this
work has been performed and feel like
congratulating the people over the fact
that a local contractor was able not
only to underbtd all outside coliipeti-
ton, but to perform his work with
such ability as to meet the entire
approval of the architect and every
member of the board.
In Best of Order.
Mr.. D. M. Thayer, in charge of the
hospital, was taken without warning
at the early hour OF 8 a. H., but the
entire institution was in the best OF
order from top to bottom, proving the
care taken in the general management
of the institution.

cpetldl 10 Inc hepuDilcAD
New York, July 13.-An exchange OF
teachers between Prussia and the Unit
ed Stated is to go into operation in
September. 1t is being managed by
the Prussian minister of public in
struction and the Carnegie Foundation
For the Advancement of Teaching
The Carnegie Foundation received a
very great number of applications. and
a dtstin guished committee of scholars
finally selected twelve teachers to rep
resent the United States. One of those
selected was John Franklin Brown, Phi,
D., professor of education in the Uni
versity of Wyoming.
Will Converse in English.
Prof. Brown will reside at a Prus.
sian gymnasium selected by the min
lister, and will converse informally in
English with the older students upon
customs. There will be no formal
teaching, the idea being to give the
older German boys an opportunity to
learn facility in speaking English by
talking with a cultured American gen
tleman, who can also tell them about
the United States.
Will Make Report.
The American teacher will be wei
coined most cordially by the director
Of the gymnasium and the teachers
and will have a remarkable opportun
ity to enjoy cultured German society
and also to study the German educa
tional system from the inside. Upon
his return to America he will report tc
the Carnegie Foundation his impress
sions Of German education.

service r certainly worthy of Car
negie medals for their intrepid bray

Other Kinds Of Courage.
To scale a lofty ladder and take
women and children from a burning
building; to rush into a mine when
living beings are p~erishing at the bot
tom; to man the lifeboat when a storm
RACES at sea and death is near; to face
the cannon's mouth in the cause of
liberty, requires heroic courage, but
in such cases there is suffering. i'm
minent danger or the cheers of a ma
ton to spur men on.
Danger for Loves Sake.
AT Hanna the must face
great danger for pure sentiment. The
dead cannot be helped, but the senti-
ment OF giving Christian burial to the
men who gave up their lives in the i'll
fated mine impels these heroes to
risk all.
Future a Sealed Book.
The noxious gases of a mine sealed
for months are of a most treacherous
nature. No one can tell what may
happen at any moment. There may
be lurking fires ready to spring into
flame at the first touch of outer air,
and explosions may follow.
No Chance for Life.
1t is sure that there are places where
men cannot live and breathe. But no
matter. Hearts of widows and or
phans are bleeding for their loved
ones buried in the mine and the res
e will face every danger until
their bodies are restored and they are
given burial in the cemetery at Han
ma. 1t is a work for the stoutest
hearts.
