HOSPITAL REPORT
Reviews Busy and Prosperous Year Gifts and Benefactions-262 Patients Cared For.

The fifteenth annual report of the trustees of the Day-Kimball hospital, ready for distribution, and the reports of the woman's board, treasurer and superintendent of the institution, in- cluded in the same book, furnish facts and figures for a comprehensive review of the work that has been done at the hospital during the term covered by those records and establish that more patients have come within its care than ever before.
 This fact is referred to in the trus- tees report. which is in part as fol- lows:
 '-The year has shown the same steady and satisfactory increase as in the past in the affairs of our hospital. This year is probably the most impor- tant in the history of the hospital, as. through the help and generosity of friends, the need of greater facilities will be supplied. A year ago a gift Of s5,00O was made to us by Mrs. George Lothrop Bradley of Pomfret for the purpose of building an addition to the hospital to be used primarily for pri- vate rooms, which should be larger. better ventilated and less noisy than those in the main building.
 This generous gift was in memory of her husband and is to be named after him. At the same time we were led to hope that the same donor might later give $2.000 more, which hope has now been realized.
 The first specifications for the ad- dition proved too expensive, but the cost was finally brought down to ap- proximately s1b,5o0. and this without essential loss in the desired objects, nor. we hope, in the artistic appear ance of the building. Many things which might be termed luxuries, how ever, were sacrificed.
 Work is now well under way on the addition, and, we trust, on or before May 1st. will be open to the public.
 'In addition to the above benefac- tions, we have also received the gift of s1,O00 from Dr. F. c. Goodbridge of Pomfret, this generous donation to be by electricity"
 Mention is also made in the report of a gift during the year of $1,000 from the woman's board and a gift of $500 from Mrs. J. Sprague Bard of

Permanent Embassy Houses.

The officers of the American Embas- sy association, who have been making a tour of the central west to propagate the purpose of their organization, which is to start out tho government on a policy of building permanent em- bassy houses for our diplomatic rep- resentatives to foreign governments, declare themselves to be happily dis- appointed in finding no strenuous op- position.
 A variegated assortment of argu- ments has been presented to support the demand that the United States do as other great powers have done or are doing by establishing permanent quar- ters as the personal and official seat of our ambassadors and ministers abroad. But to us the subject appeals most forcibly as a plain business proposi- tion If the government builds em- bassy houses at tho principal European capitals it will make them more or less equally pretentious, according to the rank of their embassy, and reduce. if not completely abolish. the present dis parity between these positions as main- tained by our diplomatic officers out of the allowance made them, general ly supplemented from their own pri- vate fortunes.-Omaha Bee.

RUM DID ITi
Foot Amputated as Result of Exposure
 While intoxicated.

Dennis Sullivan of Pomfret had his right foot amputated at the Day Kimball hospital as the result of frost bites that he received a few days ago. Sullivan lay out in the snow drifts near Williamsville for hours last week while in an intoxicated condition and has been a town charge in Pomfret un- til he was brought to the hospital here. The left foot was also frozen to such an extent that it was necessary to amputate two toes.
 Near-Flood Conditions in ouinebaus
 Valley.
 Straining and struggling with the heavy fetters that for six weeks have held it in an Arctic grasp, the Quine- baug, with the aid of the great volume forth from the control of the Ice King Saturday afternoon and is now boom ing along its course towards tide water, sweeping huge cakes of ice in its swirling currents and creating one of the most spectacular scenes of the winter. Near-fiood conditions prevail all along the valley of the stream and all river-bordering lands were inun- dated Saturday night. The river dom has it exceeded the high water mark that it then set.
 Rolling over Cargill falls in torrental volume. the river rose steadily during Saturday afternoon and night. Such ice fields as came over the falls and lower dam without going to pieces were carried along at freshet pace to crash against the heavy stone abut- ments of the railroad bridge, but be- low that point the ice had an unob- structed sweep and damage reports will come in today. At the fair grounds there was an excessive high water level and the river overf1owed it's banks and Tapped at the founda- tions of the stable on that side of the track Similar conditions prevailed during Saturday and Sunday all along the valley of the Quinebaug, the rivers escapade being regarded as one of the worst in recent years. Nearly all the fields between the fair grounds and South Main street were under water Saturday night.

A Cats ssnse of Locality.

A kitten about six months old was taken to a house a few miles distant from It's birthplace, confined in room and tenderly cared for during week, and then set at liberty. IL was sup posed to have become habituated to Its new surroundings. but H returned to it's old home on the day of its release. The sense of locality and direction was exhibited still more strilSingly by an old tonncat which was stolen and car ried a distance of twenty miles, con- fined in a bag. The cat wns imprison- ed. but made it's escape. and in a few days reappeared fin a pitiable state at the home of it's former master. which was separated from that of the thief by a high wooded cliff-Scientihc American.

HOSPITAL BENEFIT
Attracts a Big Crowd on Saturday Evening-Many Attractive Features.

There was an enormous crowd in attendance at the fair in town hall Ladies' auxiliary for the benefit of St. Joseph's hospital The ladies of Wind ham certainly know how to do things and the way the male members pres ent anteed was a sure indication that the fair will be the biggest success ever held under similar auspices
 Aerfrsers of Division 1, A. O. H., per- formed the routine work in connection with the nights activities John Col lins gave a number of illustrated songs that were we'll received Dancing at tracted large number, but the crush was so great that it was very difficult to dance with any degree of comfort. Mayor Dunn's prediction that the La dies auxiliary will realize five thou sand dollars as a result of their un- tiring efforts seems in fair way to become an actuality, if the interest continues as manifested on Friday and Saturday evenings.

 The second half was practically like the first, although not so fast. both teams slowing down considerably. Burns continued to score easily and
