The reason for this view of the
matter Is that this particular lawyer
was counsel for Georgia Curry verses
Fox Varieties company (the owners of
Fox's Folly theater In Brooklyn.
which case was tried before Mr.. JUS
tice Callaghan in the Third district mu-
nicipal court, Brooklyn. s.>.s
Mr.. Justice Callaghan, after going
through the opinion Of that case very
thoroughly. and all other authorities
cited by the attorneys for plaintiff and
defendant In their respective briefs,
decided that The civil rights law OF
New York state was not unconstitu-
tional, and that the decision Of the
United States supreme court in the
case Of Butts versus Merchants and
Miners Transportation company does
not in any way affect the New York
state law.
On the contrary It strengthens It and
gives It more vehemence. and accord
ingly judgment for the plaintiff against
the Fox Varieties company was rend-
cred in the sum Of $50.
The Georgia Curry In question was

to vacate an orchestra seat In the

THE DIXIE HOSPITAL

When the new quarters OF the Ham,
ilton Training School For Nurses and
the Dixie hospital were opened this
summer to the public between seven
and eight hundred visitors inspected
the building. Two days later the
nurses and their patients had the long
anticipated pleasure Of moving into It.
The Dixie hospital Is the only pub
lie hospital on the Virginia peninsula.
and the new building and equipment
equal If they do not surpass those Of
any other hospital in the state. The
institution was founded in 1901 by
Miss Alice NJ. Bacon and during the
twenty-five years Of its history has
cared for nearly 4,30O patients. while
13S colored nurses have taken courses
In the training school.
It's present situation is an excellent
one, being on the trolley line between
Old Point Comfort and Hampton, the
site Of the former residence of Presi-
dent Tyler, near the Hampton bridge,
the grounds extending from the street
back to Hampton creek. The substan-
tial brick building. standing well back
from the street and shaded by fine
trees, Is in the form Of double cross
and consists of three stories and base
ment. Its total length from front to
back Is 1913 feet and its total width
about 100 feet.
The wing facing the street, separat-
ed from the hospital by a solid brick
wall above the kitchen floor. is the
nurses home and will accommoda to
forty nurses. twenty-five being ut pres
ent in residence. Sitting and sewing
rooms, shady piazza and separate
dining and serving rooms help to make
the home most comfortable and pleas.
ant
The front Of the building, with its
southern exposure, sunny piazzas and
rooms looking over the water. is most
attractive. On the first floor are wards,
private rooms and diet kitchens for
colored patients and on the second
floor the same provision for white pa
tients. Besides the four wards on
these floors, there are two overflow
wards In the third story and fourteen
private rooms In all. The construction
Is Of the latest type advised for hos
pitfalls, with no panels in the doors and
no corners in the rooms, dark window
shades, moving both up and down, and
the very best sanitary equipment In
toilets and bathrooms.
The operating and sterilizing rooms,
situated in the center Of the building
and near the elevator from the receiv-
ing room, into which the ambulance
entrance opens, are provided with the
most up to date appliances possible to
obtain. Besides the rooms mentioned.
there are the necessary administrative
Offices and rooms for the doctors and
hospital star. Sixty patients can east
ly be accommodated.
The greatest interest In the hospital
has been shown by both the white and
eolored people Of the community, who
are proud to have such an institution
In their midst Gifts have come in for
It's building and equipment according
to the means Of the donors. from the
$4,000 Of the rich to the 25 cents of
the poor. Generous material donations
have been made by numerous friends.
especially by the Kings Daughters

pie.

LEAVES MANY DESCENDANTS
Woman 100 Years Old Has I'm
usual Records.

Philadelphia-Mrs. Freda Videutz-
ky, who died here Thursday in her
1O9th year, leaves 200 descendants and
in this respect was the head of what is
believed to be the largest family on
record. There are II grandchildren
and IA great-grandchildren in this
country, while her daughters here say
that IL more grandchildren in Russia
have 100 great-grandchildren in that
country and two great-great-grand-
children.
Mrs. Videutzky was born in Kief,
Russia, in 1904. She lived there until
she was 80 years old, when she was
brought to America. Curiously she
had only three children of her own,
and all of her descendants come from
her daughters, who raised immense
families.
Another strange record held by this
woman was that she obtained legal
separation from her husband at the
age of 80, after having lived with him
60 years.
