A
DR.. 1HU8BARD's WESTERN TRIP.
Dr. Geo. w Hubbard, Dean of the
Meharry Medical College, and Presi-
dent of the Hubbard Hospital, re-
turned last week, after having visited
a portion of the West, where he went
on special mission in the interest
of the two big institutions he repre-
sents. While away he, of course, was
endeavUTing to get little rest from
a hard years work, and yet he seems
to be so well known and so generally
admired IN all sections of the country,
that it was almost impossible to take
a complete rest, for in all the states,
south and west, there are hundreds of
Meharry graduates, who are pursuing
their professions in dentistry, phar.
macy and medicine. While away DR..
Hubbard visited Chicago, H., Leaven-
worth, Kansas City, Fort Scott, Par.
sons and Lawrence Kans.; Muskogee,
Oklahoma City and McAlister Okla;
Kansas City and st. Louis, Mo. He
stated to a Globe reporter that he
met and had talks with forty-six grad
yates of MeharTy, and without excep-
ton, he found every one of them do
ing exceptionally well. One of the
pleasing features of the trip, stated
DR.. Hubbard, was the hospitable re-
ception he received on all sides by
these brilliant young men who are
making their way through the world.
The doctor brings an encouraging re-
port for the hospital movement,
which is a subscription of eight huI-
dred dollars, which is quite an in
crease towards the $4,000 TO be
raised. 1t is learned that four grad
yates gave $4,000 each, which shows
the amount of enthusiasm already be-
ing manifested by the students away
from Nashville. The doctor left this
week for Boston, Mass, in company
with a number of other physicians,
members of the Tennessee Medical
Association, to attend the session.
On his return trip it is expected that
he Will make stops in New York, Phil
adelphia, Washington and other
points in the interest of the hospital
and the school.

STRANGE DEATH
 OF HYDROPHOBIA

Moulton, January 3.-(Special. )-Rev. R. L. Quinn, the pastor of the Bap- tist church here, has returned from Newburgh, where he was called to the bedside of Miss Ruby Green, who died Friday afternoon of hydrophobia.
 Newburgh Is a small town 15 miles west of here.
 For some weeks past the commun- ity has been disturbed no little with mad dogs or horses and cattle af- fected with dydrophobia.
 MT. Green had dog bitten but 1t seemed to have been affected very lit tie by it. This dog bit young horse. which, after some days, went mad, was penned up and later shot.
 Miss Green had something like a blood blister, just a small break in the skin on her left wrist. She was never bitten by the dog or attack ed by the horse, but in some way, through this break in the skin, she became the victim.
 The community has never witnessed anything of this character before.
 Miss Green was the only daughter left at home of one of the most prom inent families of the county.
 The funeral was held liils morn- ing

be solved if the woman's clubs of the state will establish a school of do- nestle service, with instruction and instructors of the most practical char acter. housekeeper could select some young girl of good character and po- sition and give her a years training in this school on the condition that she should hereafter repay the amount by service in the family of her ben efactress. Each month a small amount could be deducted from her wages un- til the whole sum was repaid Of course, there would be the danger of the beneficiary not complying with her obligation, but this danger could doubt less be obviated by making strictly legal arrangements.
 Cooks, house maids, laundresses, waitresses could be trained in this school. not only industrially but also morally Most important of all, com petent nurses could thus be secured. I wonder often at the carelessness of moth CTS who intrust their infants at the most impressionable age to the care of the most ignorant and often the vilest women. The old nanny of the past was an ideal nurse but she has gone and her place has not been filled. The trained nursery maid should be taught how to amuse the child with kindergarten songs, games and stories; she should have such instructions in hygiene as would enable her to care intelligently for the child's health. We do not want nurses like the one who told her mis- tress, when the latter gave her a ther- mometer with which to test the tenn perature of the baby's bath, Flaw, mistis. I don't need that thing. When she gets red and hollers, I know it's too hot, and when she gets blue and hollers I know it's too cold"

It occurred to me while listening to the speakers at this convention that no one of them realized that a new social force has come into existence during the last decade. This force pos sesses the will and the power to grap- pie successfully with every social problem that can arise. I refer to the Federation of Women's Clubs. It is a pity that the name clubs was given to these organizations. It has msled many and caused some stupid opposition to their work. Even Roose- welt has confounded these with organ izations formed for very different pur- poses. If any one should ask me to define in the fewest possible words the purpose of these associations, 1 would answer, "The coming of the kingdom" They are trying to answer themselves our daily prayer, Thy Kingdom Come"
 centuries long the nations praying, Father let Thy kingdom come,'
 And the kingdom still delaying!
 Are the heavens above us dumb? Comrades we must help it's coming, This the answer God hath planned, Not with idle filing, drumming,
 But with strenuous heart and hand"
 There Is no human need which these bands are not struggling to fill; no human suffering which they are not endeavoring to alleviate. It is as though the human race had been try ing to do It's work all these ages with only one hand and now the other has come to its aid and it is not the left hand either!

She had lived apparently in poverty and semi starvation, subsisting partly on charity. but a search of her rooms, which were in a terrible state of neglect, revealed that she was worth more than million kro- nen, chiefly in house property. A number of stuffed cats in her room were full of coin.
 The woman was well known in the bet rte part of the city, where she owned sev- eral blocks of flats, the rent of which she collected herself.
