Leagues State Meeting.

Ten days from date, on March II, the state meeting of the Law Enforcement league will be held in Representatives hall in this city, and already several cities and towns have taken steps to be represented by delegates, and some Of them have gone so far as to organize local branches of the state association.
 The object of the Law Enforcement league is not, as it's name would indicate. to enforce the laws of the state, but to S assist the constituted authorities to build up A sentiment against vice and law breakers generally, and to improve the moral atmosphere of the cities and towns where vice is known to exist to an un- usual degree. f
 The organization has been very active in Jackson for two or three months. and it has come to be a difficult matter to get 8 bottle of booze. It is still sold in many places, but those engaged in the business are very sly and do not take any such chances as they did before the league came into existence.

Heart Weakness Caused Alarm.
A few days ago heart weakness was
noticed, and his condition became
alarming. His age, 81 years. initiated
against him. Yesterday, howev~- he
was up and about his apartment. In
fact, he had not been confined to his
bed at any stage of his illness. He re-
tired at the usual time last night, but
his physician had noted evidences that
led him to warn the immediate mem
bers of the family that the end was
not far off. AS the night passed DR..
Hale constantly became weaker, until
the end came. about o'clock this
morning.
DR.. Hale was born in this city in
April. 1922, and by training, education
and tradition he represented through
out the eighty-seven years of his life
the spirit of the founders of the Mas
sachusetts Bay colony. He was grad
uated from Harvard in 1899. He was
actively connected with the Boston Ad-
vertiser many years ago, and his first
charge as clergyman was church
in Worcester.
Notable Career.
DR.. Hale was graduated from Har-
ward in 1899 and for two years was an
usher in the Boston Latin School. After
course in theology he was licensed
TO preach, and was made pastor of the
Church of the Unity in Worcester.

married at Hartford. Conn. to Emily

What is regarded as the finest insti-
tuition of its kind in the country is the
new Essex County Hospital for the In
sane, now about completed in Over
brook at cost nearly 100000. There
are twenty-three buildings on the 300
acre site, which is beautified with its
slopes. lawns, flower beds and shade
trees. The buildings are dreproof and
of modernA construction All of the
principal ones are complete, and the
795 patients now in the South Orange
avenue hospital will be transferred to
Overlook not later than July 1. The
total number now under the care of the
county is 1928. The new institution
can care for 1.300 patients under the
modern methods of treating the un-
fortunates. If necessary twice that
number could be cared for.
The contract was signed on October
80, 1906, with Hurd & Sutton as the
architects. Less than a month later
ground was broken, and the work has
continued ever since. The hospital
buildings were completed some time
ago. and it is figured that the buildings
in group No. 8, which contract was
awarded a short time ago, will be
finished at the end of the year.
Prior to the start of the work trips
were made by the architects and Off
cials to Buffalo, Boston, Central Islip,
Ogdensburg, N. Y. and other institu-
tons considered up-to-date, and in this
way nothing was left undone to make
the buildings superior to others.
The buildings are constructed of red
roofs, and the majority two-story in
height. The woodwork is plain and
the floors are covered and there are no
panels to take the dust. The plumbing
work is all open, and there is tiled
flooring with composition floor. which
is sanitary, throughout the buildings.
There is a tunnel system from the
power house which connects the steam
and water pipes and electric wires with
the other buildings. The buildings are
heated with forced hot water and the
ventilation system is considered the
best. There is good electric plant,
and a telephone system throughout the
different buildings, and a fire signal as
a safeguard to the patients.
Building L. Fireproof.
This is in spite of the fact that the
building is fireproof. All stair-cases
are of iron. There are seven boilers in
the power plant. An excellent sewage
and drainage system surrounds the in
stitution. The furnishings of the build
ings cost 5000
In group No. 1 there are hospital
