OPEN HOSPITAL
Splendid New Institution Will
Commence Its Work on
Thanksgiving Day.
(From wednesday Advert,ser.j

At meeting of those interested in
the Kauikealani Children's Hospital
held yesterday in the chambers of
Judge Dole, in the judiciary building,
the final plans were completed for the
formal opening of that institution to.
morrow. 1t will be a great day for
the people who have worked so earnestly
and for those whose money and initia.
tion have led to the completion of one
of Honolulu's most splendid institu.
tions.
Provision has been made to have in
the lower story of the main building,
"Sunbeam Bed" so named in honor
of the sunbeam class, the famous little
Sunday school organization of Central
Union church. This class has donated
5000 to the general endowment fund
and in this manner the directors of
the hospital have reciprocated.
The exercises at the hospital will
commence at three clock in the after.
noon.
Arrangements have been made to
have A. S. Wilcox speak to the guests.
1t is he who is the soul of the under
taking, the hospital being built partly
from the $4,000 he donated for the
purpose. Other speakers will be Judge
Sanford B. Dole, president of the hos
pital directors, and DR.. G. b. Wood.
Visitors will be shown over the hos
pital and grounds and although the
building is not quite ready for patients,
it waits but the finishing touches and
will give perfect conception of what
has been provided for the sick amongst
the children. The hospital itself is stu
ated at the corner of Kuakini road and
little beyond the home of p. G. Jones'
The refreshment committee have pro-
vided for thousand visitors.
One of the most earnest workers for
the hospital has been Mrs. E. r. Stack
able, who has picked out the entire
equipment with the exception of the
medical furniture and necessities. The
servants and nurses quarters, the
kitchen and ordinary room furniture,
the dishes, linen, etc, have been Sc
lected by her and those appointed by
her and a great deal of the comfort
of the institution is result of her
earnest work.
The cost of the building has not been
small but the result proves that there
has been no money wasted; that every
cent has gone towards the making of
q perfect establishment. The cost of
the main building was about $4,000;
the land $70S5; the contagious wards,
$4l ,O35, and the equipment of the main
building, $442. The building con
tractor was A. p. Mcdonald.
The committees who will be in
charge follow. They represent those
who have ''stayed by' the work from
beginning to end.
