We REJOICE that the Fiscal court has
contracted to pay $1,000 for the care Of
county patients at the Pattie A. Clay
infrmary for the coming year. Grad
ually our people are coming to know
that an institution OF this kind is a nee
esSary part Of the equipment Of the
community TO battle against disease in
diligently and economically. 1t is our
purpose now 10 direct the attention Of
all our citizens, officials especially, 10
the moral obligation we owe 10 the
whole State Of Kentucky to support and
maintain the Pattie Clay infirmary. We
reprint below articles from State papers
10 show that the location Of the Normal
school in Richmond was largely influ-
enced by the fact that we had such a
public institution as this in our midst:

Both cities were generous in their offers
and the buildings and grounds avail
able for the schools will, from the out
set, place this phase Of Kentuczy's edu-
catiOnal system on a par with that OF
any other Southern State.
"A peculiarly admirable feature Of
RichmOnd's offer is that that city is
equipped with an infrmary, the gift of
Switzerland. For fourteen years this
institution has been maintained largely
through the unselfish energy Of certain
Richmond AMI Madison cOunty's citi-
zens. With the opening of the Normal
school, the intlrmary will prove an i'm
pOrtant ad junct of the institution and il
goes without saying that as liberal and
progressive a county as Madison will see /
that II is supplied with every requisite
necessary for its successful conduct.

Postal Department VIII Permit EN-.
periments at Long Island-To
Establish Route.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 16.-Post-
master General Hitchcock last night
gave his consent to the establishment
of an experimental aeroplane mail
route between one of the outlying
branches of the Brooklyn, n. Y, post
Office and the aerodrome at Nassau
boulevard, Long Island during the in
ternational aviation meet from Sept
IS to Oct. l..
Aviators and their employees who,
will be stationed on the field will be
able to receive their mail almost as
quickly as if they were in one of the
large cities. 1t is probable that a spe-
cial postal station will be established
at the aviation field and a temporary
postmaster appointed by the depart
ment. The first successful aeroplane
letter route was that opened last Satur-
day by the British postal administra-
ton. which began a series of expert
ments in the carrying of mails by aero
plane from Hendon, England to Wind
sor castle. Four aviators were engag-
ed in the work, and about 100000 let
tiers constituted the first, delivery
These experiments have been watched
with considerable interest by the Unit
ed States postoffice authorities, who
are of the opinion that the day when
letters will be forwarded from city to
city by airships is not far distant.
