committees of the revolutionists. But

the Germans.
Returned prisoners from Germany

of penny-simply relying upon the
generosity of Pensacola's charitably
inclined and progressive citizenship
to stand behind him-he forthwith &C

guaranteeing the site and the $4,000

Organization of Hospital Association
This resulted in the organization of
the Pensacola Hospital Association

taken by the executives of the asso.

construction of this magnificent hos
pital, from cellar and basement to the
capstones of the gracefully outlined
parapets surmounting its symmetri-
cal outerwalls of rough-hewn blocks
of redish-grey sandstone, is sugges-
tive not alone of exquisite art and
transformations, quiet elegance; but of
nerve-soothing, restful environment,
substantial utility and sumptuous
comfort, which cannot but prove con-
ducive to the restoration TO vigorous
health and strength those who may
enter its portals for treatment and
care.
AS stated above, the people of Pen
sacola and surrounding territory, ir-
respective of race or religious afillia-
tons, are indebted, primarily, to the
Sisters of Charity for the erection of
this magnificent modern hospital,
which, when equipped and opened for
the reception of the sick, will also
be conducted by the Sisters of Char
ity.
Brief History of Hospital.
Briefly, the history of the hos
pitfalls conception and eventual con-
struction is as follows: About four
teen months ago, M. ]. Elkan, a
Jewish citizen and prominent bust
ness man of Pensacola, recognizing
Pensacola's acute need of a modern
hospital, called public attention to this
need through the columns of the
press, at the same time proposing
that he would be one of twenty citi-
zens to contribute $500 each to a
fund of $4,000 to start such a hos
pital as would supply Pensacola's
needs. This proposition attracted the
attention of Reverend T. H. Kennedy
rector of Sacred Heart church, who
without delay, referred Mr.. Elkan':
generous proposal, with his hearty en-.
dorsement of Pensacola's need for 6
hospital, to the Mother Superior o.
the Sisterhood of Charity, at Emmits-
burg, Maryland, with the result thai
an immediate investigation of thc
matter was instituted by the Mother
Superior. The elimination of this in
vestigation was full recognition o.
Pensacola's need for hospital, ant
a proposal from the Sisters to pro
vide such an institution to cost 500,
600, conditioned only upon Pensacola
provision of site for the building
and a guaranteed subscription o
$4,000 in money.
The iberality of this proposal ap
pealed strongly to Father Kennedy

Private Baths.

All of the private rooms are pro-
vided with bath and toilet facilities.
The choicest and most expensive of
the private apartments are connected
with private baths, while the less ex-
pensive rooms are provided with one
bath and toilet to two rooms. All of
the general wards also are connected
with commodious and exquisitely fin
ished and equipped baths, toilets and
lavatories.

phenalia employed in the treatment
of infamatory ailments and for tenn
perature reduction.
CommOdious Cellar.
To level Of some eight feet below
the ground floor, under the south
east corner of the building, a COM
modious cellar has been dug. This
compartment has been so constructed
as to exclude the natural dampness
of the earth surrounding it, and it
will be used for the storage of fresh
vegetables and fruits and cured
meats-its normal temperature at all
seasons being sufficiently low and
equable for those purposes.
On the basement floor, on the wall
of the main corridor, have also bean
placed electric swftchboards for the
control of the entire electric system
of the building-one for the control
Of the current for the use of all OF
the mechanically operated appliances
in the building, including the eleva-
tor, dumb walters, etc, the other for
the control of the lighting system, the
latter of which is reduced not only to
floor unit basis, but to a basis of
corridor units.
