I ten up. dances held and subscriptions secured for this purpose by various or ganizations. He told of getting big league teams to play benefit games at Hartford, and said that he had been l talking with Dan Murphy here, who | had told him that he was interested ir this matter and would be willing to | use his influence to get the Philadel- | phia Americans and some other bis | league team here for a benefit game next year some time.
 Many Have Been Benefited.
 Many working people have been ben- efited and discharged from the sana- torfums. Therein we teach people to live, and the benefit is great when they are able to leave. It is impossible to draw a. class line there. The work has very sad side. Some people say at once that they are willing to go to sanatorium for three montrs but that is not long enough, as they should go for six months or year, and not 13 weeks, the time fraternal orders often pay sick benefits for. There are many over the condition of their families at home, cause the other patients sorrow and hurt their condition. He reviewed a number of pathetic cases which had come under his observation.
 Can Secure Funds Easily.
 Mir. Gunshanan felt sure they would have no trouble securing money. II may be April or May before the coun- ty sanatorium will be ready to receive patients, but there are a number who should go now, and if you will send them I will make provision for them in the other county sanato riums until the New London county sanatorium is ready. The best of food os provided for the patients and they get all they want.
 Cost for Patients.
 Mir. Gunshanan explained that it costs about $1O a week per patient. It is required that the patients pay $2 each and the town from which they are sent pay s2 and the state the re- mainder. Many are opposed to 'receiv- ing this town aid, and it is just such a fund as the one this organization will raise that will provide for that money, and patients will not feel that they are going there as paupers. The fund could pay the s4 or the fund could pay s2 and the patient s2. as cfrcum- stances would permit.
