Rich Citizen Of Elmira, N. Y,
Presents City With Equipped
tuberculosis Hospital. e
Such Charity Is in Perfect Accord
With Most Scientific Princi-
pies Of Philanthropy.

EIMIFaA. N. Y, Jan. IA suitable
sit and a thoroughly modern and we'll
.quipptd hospital for the care of per-
sons having tuberculosis, is the gift
which has just been made to the city
Of Elmira, on the condition That this
hospital shall be maintained in COM
pletely up-to-date manner by the city
at public expense, to be free to citi-
zens Of Elmira, except that the 11ospi-
tai may receive compensation for the
treatment therein, to the xtnt of a
patients ability to pay, a plan said
to be in perfect accord with the most
scientific principles of modern phil
anthropy. The philosophical citizens
who are the donors Of this hospital,
are Mr.. and Mrs. Charles e. Rapelyea.
During the latter part Of the month of
Novtmber, the city of Elmira was the
scene of an active and vigorous cam
paign against tuberculosis, which was
conducted by the State Charities Aid
associa ton, and the New York State
Department Of Health, in connection
with the Ninth New York State Con-
ference Of Charities and Corrections.
A series of meetings were held, ex-
tending throughout an entire week,
and the Elnnirians were aroused to the
need of taking immediate steps with
a view to stamping out this dread dis
ease. Within the past year similar
educational campaigns nave been
conducted in some IS cities of the
1,,& 3v> 49,
portant action ben taken so immed-
lately following the campaign. It was
the verdict of the International Con-
gress on Tuberculosis at Washington
last September, that of all the meas
ures which should be taken to pre-
vent the spread of tuberculosis, there
is no one which is equal in Importance
to that Of the provision of hospital
care for the advanced cases; and
hence, Elmira has reason to be proud
of hereself for having her forces we'll

and soon was sitting up in bed. She
lived for two years and then died
of an entirely different ailment. DR..

Can any physician explain this?
Can anyone explain the mystery of
life or death?" Among other things
he said:

Il do not believe the president has
the constitutional power said Mr..
Davenport, ito relieve Gompers, Nit

ment imposed upon them by Judge
Wright for disobedience of his injunc-
ton. It should be remembered that
| proceedings for contempt are of two
classes-criminaI or primitive, and
civil, remedial or coercive.
The former are. conducted to pre-
serve the power and vindivate the dig
nifty of the courts and to punish dis
obedience of their orders. The lat

and enforce the:::rights of private par
ties, and to. compel obedience to the
orders, mandates aand judgments of
the courts made to enforce the rights
and remedies to which the courts nave
decreed such parties are lawfully en-
titled. The contempt proceedings
against Gompers. are Of the latter
class. -
