PreSindet Taft has just approved
the diJmissal Of four West Point

From the laymans Viewpoint thia generous

From the layman's viewpoint this generous
gift should be accepted. The conditions inn
posed are liberal and fair and such as guard
and guarantee the future good management of
the institution. The throwing open of the
doors of this hospital to the sick and suffering
poor will prove OF inestmable benefit to many
whose means do not now permit of such skilled
treatment as their diseases deserve. The stu
alton Of the building all that could be
desired Centrally located, it is not only easily
reached from every section of the city, but is.
moreover. most readily accessible to the bust.
ness section. where the liability to accident on
the. crowded streets and in the factories create
imperative need for a nearby emergency
hospital.
However II is not a matter to be lightly and
thoughtlessly dispatch. In the acquisition
of great municipal hospital and the appropri-
alton of the money needed to acquire and con-
duct the same the Council should have in view
two things: It's immediate fitness for the ends
desired and whether its present equipment will
serve the future demands. We are. or should
be. serving the future as well the present.
1t can not be the part OF wisdom to acquire an
tlsttution unequipped for and ill-adapted to
the needs of to-day. economy to acquire a
hospital to-day that must needs be abandoned
tomorrow. These are questions that should
be seriously pondered in connection with the
acceptance Of this gft-questions that ought
not to be solved by laymen alone; the light OF
expert knowledge and experience should be
sought

P|GMENTED MOLE
CAUSE Of DEATH
MEDICAL SCIENCE UNABLE To
SAVE LIFE OF GREAT
IRON KING.

NEW YORK. July 4.--Augustus w
Mott. tho well known yachtsmanx who
was vice-president Of the Mott Iron
Works. of which his grandfather was
the founder, died yesterday as the
result OF the development OF an or
binary pigmented mole into a ma
Hgnant growth. The type OF growth
which caused death sometimes is
called melanotic cancer. but to rnedi-
cal men Is more properly known as
melano sarcoma. The irritation which
developed the malignancy began less
than year ago, and soon there was
a diffusion throughout the body. Med
ical science has no cure for this dis
ease.
II became a question OF how long
Mr.. Motifs naturally strong consti-
tuition could withstand the attack
with the idea of impressing the fact
that the ordinary augmented mole
should have proInp. attention. DIR.
Joseph ID. Bryant. one Of the best
known American surgeons who was
called In the case Last night, gave
a brief history of II, and he dis
cussed the disease.
Mr.. Mott had q augmented mole
on ms right arm near his shou Ter, -
SAID LIT. Bryant. 1T had been there

increase in size. and was subjected
10 same species Of irritation, causing
rapid development in size and ma
ilgnancy, followed by a. general dinu-
SION or the malignancy. especially
noted in the Emphatic glands.
While II Is less frequent than any

IL Is Known to physicians and there
Is no known cure. 1t possesses the

perhaps there can be no better com
parison of It's potentiality than that

attached and lighted there Is trou-
Fle. II the dynamite Is to be removed
1t should be handled before the fuse
tx attached. With the augmented mole
the irritation acts as the fuse does 10
the dynamite, and 1t cannot be re-
moved after the irritation and the
