THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
To the Officers and Members of the WOman's
Hospital Aid: As my term of service as Pres
ident expires today it is incumbent on me to
say few words before retiring.
Notwithstanding the decrease in State aid
we have been enabled by the interest taken in
the Hospital and the kindness of friends TO
continue the good work, and at the present
time the Hospital is in better financial condi-
tion than ever before, and the public are ap.
preciating more and more the splendid work
done.
During Donation week the Hospital was
literally remembered by friends throughout
the county, and its many friends who reside
elsewhere.
The Sewing Circle meetings have been en-
couraging, besides sewing done for the Hos
pita we have earned goodly sum from out
side work. and hope in the coming year many
more may join us in this charitable and noble
work.
wish to thank the officers and members for
their kindness and helpfulness to me during
the year, and also wish to express my thanks
for the faithful service rendered by the vari-
GUS committees.
While we regret the loss of Miss Dunn, our
former efficient Superintendent, who has left
US to enter a new field of labor in which we
understand she is making success which she
SO richly deserves. we are fortunate in pro-
curing the services of our present Superin-
tendent, Miss SanGerson, who is not only will
ing to render us all assistance possible, rut by
her adaptability to her work make the patients
contented, and happy, and the Hospital more
like home than public institution.
With deep appreciation to all friends of our
institution whose help has rendered the sue
cess achieved, l am, respectfully
MRS E. A. WILSON, President.

Chase of Bates College:
Il have been made very sad by learning
that dear cousin Eliza is suffering SO much
from poor health. All her life she has been
ministering to others, and / have never
known any person who has not been hap
pier for her presence. My own obligations
to her began in my early childhood, and l
know how happy it always made me when
was little boy to be near her. She has had
many kinds of work to do in the world, and
she has done them all with great thoroughness
and with entire devotion and fidelity. I never
heard her mu-mur; but have heard her hum
dreds of times uttering words of encourage
ment and cheer when she herself was tired
and would seem to be in need of the Thoughtful
attention of others. It has been her lot to
minister to several aged people. and they have
all depended upon her and been c0mforted by
her amid the infirmities and discouraging con-
ditions of advancing years. Equally gentle
and sympathetic has she been toward children.
No one near her has ever been in trouble or
need without having her warm interest ana all
the help it was in her power to give. doubt
whether any one ever thought less of self or
took less into account gains and rewards. A
sweeter, gentler. more self-forgetting woman
have never known. Why do those who hav
done 90 much to make this world happier and
better have such experiences OF suffering? We
cannot answer But feel sure that our
Heavenly Father does not forget His dear
children and that there will be large return for
all suffering and trial that they experience"
The last letter from President Chase, writ
ten since her release, contains the following:
"She has helped to make Heaven on earth for
many years, and was prepared - are few to
feel and appreciate the satisfactioni Of the
Heaven that Ne await. Many OF the tender
est and most precious thoughts about my child

Tariff story of Interest.

In our Washington correspondence
will be found a tariff story that Is
quite out Of the common. These who
think that any tarin story must Of
necessity be dry as dust, and further
more that of all times the present is
the least calculated to make 1t in
teresting, will find themselves mis-
taken IL they turn to the story itself.
For their further encouragement, We
hasten to add that the story has
neither a free trade moral nor pro-
tectionist moral. The man that tells
Ii is a New England manufacturer Of
cheap cotton cloths, who believes in a
good high tariff, and yet his tale Is
one of injury brought on his own busi-
ness, not by taking OF a duty, but by
putting one on. The duty, to be sure,
was not put on his own product, but
on something else: what hurt him was
the taking of ivory tusks on the free
list He who wants to know more
must take the trouble to read what
the man himself says; we shall not
spoil his story. You can draw any
morals from IT as you like. but not
the moral that either protection or
free trade Is a good thing or Is bad
thing. As an illustration of the un-
expected consequences of political acts
it would have delighted the heart Of
Herbert Spencer, and would have a
good chance of being incorporated as
an illustration in the next edition Of
his fascinating little book on The
Study of Sociology" IL he were living
to get 1t out.-New York Evening Post.

this way / made the acquaintance OF
John Newell, pesident for many years
OF the Lake Shore Railroad. He was
very able railroad operator, and, In

John that evening he spoke to me OF
some OF the younger men who were in
the service of the Lake Shore Railroad

he took great interest in these young
men. There was one of whom he spoke
in terms Of real affection. He said to

TO every responsibility. The only fault
found with him was that he insisted
on working too hard. Well, he was
gradually promoted and he now Is in a

him I think he has a great future before
him. I may not live to see it, but I

was his companion. I knew that the
warm friendship established between
these two men had been maintained.
DO you wonder, then, that when on
January Of this year Alfred Fl. Smith

Growth of the Federalistie Spirit.

In analyzing this growth OF Federal
ism in the United States three periods
are to be noted. The first was when
the old New England colonies joined
together in self-protection against the
Indians and to secure the extradition
of criminals, with eacf colony jealous
Iy guarding its own rights. This period
eliminated in the articles of confed-
Grafton, the Declaration of Independ-
ence, and the Constitution. 1t was
succeeded by the service of Chief JUS
tice Marshall in the Supreme Court,
whose Federalistic decisions elevated
The power of the general government
20 a height from which it has never
descended. The civil war, of course,
still further increased the national
spirit, but the greatest impetus of all
came when the problems of our COM
plex civilization seemed beyond the
power of the States to solve. The old
colonies combined against the Indians !;
the States now combine against dam
gers which are just as serious, even
though they come in another form.

The Botanic Garden Site.

A new site for the Botanic Garden
must not be hastily chosen. Of course,
the garden must be moved. The pres
ent location is in every way unsuitable
and when the Grant monument is COM
pleted the garden will be crowded out,
and everybody ought to be glad.
One plan, already under way, con-
templates the removal of the garden
to Rock Creek Park, but at once the
question arises whether the garden
would not detract' from the natural
beauties of the park and present an OBJ
stacle to the full enjoyment of its
superb scenery. The mere possibility
of such a result should be sufficient to
condemn the undertaking. especially as
there is practically no restriction in the
choice of a site. But there are other
considerations equally important which
should be carefully weighed. The Rock
Creek Park section is at present espe-
cially favored in the matter of attrac-
tions, the beautiful stream which gives
the park its name, the Geological gar
dens, costly architecture in the form
of bridges and broad, beautiful high
ways forming a magnificent picture to
which the Botanic Garden would add
nothing. incidentally, Rock Greek Park
is at present inaccessible, except to peo-
pie fortunate enough to own automo-
biles. This probably will be remedied
some time in the future, but rather
than to provide a surfeit of attractions
for one region consideration should be
given to the claims of the populous Sec
'tions elsewhere. The great project, al
ready launched for beautifying the sec
ton from the P street bridge to Po-
tomac Park will add immeasurably to
artistic appearances in the direction of
Georgetown, so that it would seem only
fair to bestow something on East
Washington or South Washington. The
complaint is often heard that these sec
tions, well built up with comfortable
homes, are neglected in the distribution
of public improvements, and thar there
is ground for such complaint will not
be disputed.
The Herald is not selecting site for
the Botanic Garden. but it sees no
sound arguments in favor of Rock
Creek Park. The suggestion of Potomac
Park by District Commissioner Siddons
is well worthy of careful consideration.
Provided with a suitable setting the
garden would give a pleasing touch to
the landscape and be accessible to a
large portion of the population who
only on rare occasions make the Jour
ney to distant Rock Greek Park. No
valid objection to Potomac Park is ap-
parent, but should discussion of the
subject develop one, some suitable site
east of the Capitol might be obtained.
At any rate, we hope Congress and the
executive authorities will recognize the
justice of the claims of these two sec
tons to a share in the general scheme
for the Identification of Washington.
