Report OF Hospital Work.

We have received the seventh
annual report of South Baltimore
Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hos
pital. An idea of the amount of
good work being done at this insti-
tuition may be CLEANED by the
figures given in the report for last
year which show the following:
1.-The number of new patients applying
for treatment was 2I58, an increase of
900 over the preceding year. OF this
number 2o33 were white and I25 were
colored. These were divided among the
three departments as follows: Eye 1898,
Ear 500, Throat SIS. One hundred and
ten ofthis number were house patients
and to them total of 1883 days board
was furnished. The attendance in the
Dispensary for the year reached total of
|8352 visits which was an increase over
the preceding year of 1000 and which
brings the total attendance since the
opening of the Hospital to 33,36o
During the year $50 surgical operations
were performed making the total number
of operations now amount to ao34.
The objects of the Hospital,
which is located at 1911 Light
street, are ITO give to the de-
serving poor of Baltimore and the
State the gratuitous services of
physicians skilled in these special
lines, also when necessary hospital
accommodations, so far as the re-
sources of the hospital will permit. "

Perfected Invention In Prison.

Nearly half a century ago Calvin
P. Graves, of North Hancock, Me-,
began to work out an idea of i'm
proving his mothers sewing ma.
chine. While working on his in.
,vention he was convicted of the
murder of two men and received a
life sentence.
During the nineteen years he
served before being pardoned he
perfected the device. At the age
of 81 he started for New York Fri
day, to collect 900 offered for
his invention by combination Of
sewing machine companies.
The invention is a revolution in
sewing machine construction. 1t
is an attachment that can be placed
upon any machine, abolishes the
bobbin, takes the thread direct
from the spool and makes lock-
stitch. From row of spools any.
one can be used at will by moving
small levers.

Accuse. Pastors OF Fraud.

That fraud or gross deception
has been practiced by some of the
ministers of the Wilmington M. E..
Conference in the case of Rev. A.
W. Lightbourne, D. d., pastor of
Wesley M. E. Church, Dover, was
charged, when it became known
that one of the signers to paper
presented. by certain ministers to
the Judiciary Committee at the
recent General Conference in Balti-
more, emphatically denied having
signed any such paper as was read
in which Rev. Lightbourne's name
was frequently mentioned.
It was ascertained that Rev.
Alfred Smith, D. d., the vii
mington Conference temperance
evangelist, and former pastor of
Wesley Church, was said to have
signed the paper in question, which
was nothing more or less than a
rehash of the Lightbourne case
from the time he entered the Will,
mington Conference in 1880 up to
the present time. Friends of DR..
Lightbourne, who knew that DIR.
Smith was staunch friend and
supporter, could not understand
why DIR. Smith should have signed
such a paper. DR.. Smith gave out
statement in which he says that
a fraud has been perpetrated and
that while he did sign paper it
was not the one presented to the
General Conference. DR.. Light
bourne's friends say DR.. Smith and
others who signed the paper have
evidently been made tools of by
those who circulated the paper for
reasons best known to themselves.
Prompt action will be taken by
the laymen and the officials of DR..
Lightbourne's church to reach the
alleged offenders.

Went Cunning For His Man and
Got Him.

John Giles, colored, was shot
twice and killed Saturday, night by
another negro, Jacob Monk. The
shooting took place near j. F. Tow
cr's canning factory, in Bush River
Neck, Hartford county. Monk had
forbidden Giles to visit his home
and had threatened his life for
interfering with his domestic rela-
tons. Monk and his wife had
agreed to separate, but when Monk
returned to his home Saturday
afternoon and found his wife had
gone to the home of Giles, who also
had a wife, he went cunning for
Giles, and fired on him as he came
out of his house.
Tue negro fell, the load of shot
taking effect in his head. Monk
shot him again to make sure of his
job. Then he telephoned to Con
stable Joseph McCommons, telling
what he had done, and said he
would be at home when the Con-
stable called to arrest him. He
thought better of this, however
and disappeared, but on Monday
morning went to Bel Air and sur
rendered himself to the Sheriff.
Monk claims the shooting was in
self defense, as Giles came toward
him with a pistol in his hand.
Witnesses deny that Giles had a
pistol in his hand. A coroner's
Jury rendered a verdict holding
Monk on the charge of malicious
murder.
