NEWS TRAVELS IN HOSPITALS
Wireless Outdone In Rapidlty with Which Patients Get Forbidden
 Information.

"A very efficient system of wire. less telegraphy exists in every hos. pital," said the nurse. Apparently all patients have the knack of trans. hitting messages, otherwise the news of serious cases would not travel so quickly and accurately from ward to ward. It is contrary to the rules for hospital attendants to retail gossip, and most of them do observe strict secrecy, yet notwithstanding that pre- caution there is never an interesting case in the building whose history is not known and discussed in the re- motest corner.
 Last week a boy suffering from 9 peculiar kind of throat trouble was brought into first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in .he case. yet they took special pains never to mention it in the hearing Of another patient. But for all the good their caution did they might as web have lectured on the case in every ward: for when the boy died men and women all about the hospital said tc the nurses:
 e'So that poor boy died. did he? :! guess there wasn't much hope fo> him from the start
 Now. now did the news travel?'

. INE BLUFF . ROGRESS ROSPERITY
THE THAW CASE.

It looks as if the authorities aad lawyers in Canada, New York and gsew Hampshire are trying to drain the Thaw treasury of it's already drained millions. Harry K Thaw is being mistreated as a result and the first thing the officials of tile Northern states know, public 3senti- ment in Thaws favor will be so strong that they will have to release him and give him freedom There is one, thing the American people like and that is square deal' Thaw is not being even fairly dealt with. When the immigration authorities pulled him from his prison bed carlyi Wednesday morning made him dress and hurried him over the bor- der line without breakfast, only to tell him to "beat it" in the woods of New Hampshire, they did not re- fleet credit on themselves
 Friendly newspaper men picked
  back to civilization where he was re-arrested and arranged another fight for freedom. Thaw has doubt less suffered sufficiently for the murder Of Stanford White. He has gone through enough in the past few years to make a man insane" if ht is not really crazy, and there arc many that believe he is as sane as any man.
 The lawyers are feaping harves from the repeated prosecutions o Thaw, and William Travers Jerome ill addition to free advertising is doubtless receiving thousands of dol lars from the White family to con tinue his anti-Thaw fight. The Ca nadian authorities did not treat tn, officials at Washington courteousl, in their rush act" and it appears that the higher officials of the Cana dian immigration department arc dissatisfied with their action. The, have already begun aa investiga- tiOn.
 The Thaw farce is getting to bt disgusting to the public and the sooner the Thaw case is closed tho better it will be for all concerned.
