staff of the Mount Sinai Hospital. IS
in serious danger of losing her right
arm from blood poisoning from the
effects of an infection caused by con-
tact with a wound of a surgical pa
tient who had been brought into the
accident ward about a month ago.
After the resident physician had
sewed the gaping wound of the pa
tent Miss Stansbury applied the
dressing. She had on a finger of the
hand at the time a slight pin prick.
Her hand became infected and swelled
considerably. She laughed at the
trifing injury, as she termed 1t, and
1t was not until a few days ago, when
her whole arm became infected, that
she gave it serious attention.

told a story that aroused the magis-

She would not give her name, except
in private to the magistrate that he
might prove the truth of her state

About a month ago she arrived in

came here several years ago, She had
been here only two weeks when her
brother died, and she found herself
stranded and penniless in the city,

The young puzzled her brain
for a way to insure her deportation,
and learning that it was unlawful fer

Attired in his clothes, she walked
around for several days, and to her
surprise was not arrested. But last
night she sought lodging at the. Italian
Hospital, 1863 Houston street, and the
clerk who gave her a ticket emitting
her to lodging, as a man, at 176 u

has done for his own interest and for

beg space in your paper to say
few things about the making, main
tanning and keeping of the public
highways Of Knox county.
So much that needs to- be said and
done as we have been maintaining
the public highway for many years
on the MALTA plan, and it looks so
much like living under the old Mo-
saical times. have been urging
,he Fisical ConIt Of Knox county
that we change our way OF main
tanning the public highways as to
the words free labor" and it all
being taken from the poor man, es-
pecially from the poor tax payer.
The only time that ever poor
man has been measured as high as
the big fellow, is when the stand
ard of road working comes on, and
then the poor poll tax payer and
poor miner car be warned out and
worked six DAYS, and threatened a
dozen more days, if the big fellow
cuts up the roads with his wagons
and teams.
Under the present system Of mann
tanning the public roads when a
man gets to the age of fifty years,
he is exempt from road service. lie
can put from one to as many big
teams as he pleases to on the road
and rough lock his wagon down
the steep grades and drag out the
work OF the poor man did with his
pick and shovel, and the everseer is
forced by the law to call out the
poor man to fill up the wagon ruts
again, and we all know that main.
tanning a public road on free labor
is n unjust to the poor man and is
mistake and waste OF time and
energy in the wrong direction to
have good roads.
From what we have already ex.
perienced, desire that we change
our system OF maintaining the pub
lie roads; that we let every man
who is a tax payer subject to road
taxation, and all that are under
fifty years Of age, and ones eighteen
years Of age, shall pay one dollar
poll tax for road purposes, and all
tax payers over eighteen years OF
age shall pay this year 25% on each
one.hundred dollars worth of tax
able property for the maintaining
ank keeping of the public roads in
good order. and under the present
laws this money would have to be
set aside as a road fund only and
cannot be used for any other pur-
pose. The law directs that the
money shall be spent upon the order
