HOSPITAL IN HISTORY
INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
KNOWN FROM EARLY TIMES.
Before the Christian Era the Caro- Of
the Afflicted Was Considered q
Public Duty = Philadelphia
Had First In America.

The first hospital established in
America was opened In Philadelphia
on February Z, 1850. For nearly two
years Benjamin Franklin and other
influential men were working for the
establishment of such an institution.
A charter was granted In May, 1851,
and the first board of trustees was
elected the July following.
The day of the opening a number of
patients were admitted who were reg
ularly attended and given their medi-
cine free.s Joshua Crosby was the first
president and Benjamin Franklin the
first clerk.
The second hospital established was
in New York in It'll. From these ear
ly beginnings there has now grown up
in the United States veritable forest
of hospitals. Every city, town and
village has its duly appointed institu-
tions Of this character, and the hos
pitfalls of the United States are now
acknowledged the most handsomely
and thoroughly equipped in the world.
and serve as models for European ar
chitects.
Hospitals were founded in very ear
ly times. India, Persia and Arabia,
had hospitals supported by their kings
and rulers before the Christian
era AS Ear back as the earliest Pc
Rod in Greek history the sick are
said to have been treated in the Tenn
pie OF Aesculapius at Epidaurus.
In the early Jewish period a house
for the reception of the sick was
called Beth Holem. Such an institu-
ton was Beth Saba, mentioned in
the New Testament.
Military hospitals are of compare
lively recent origin, born of the needs
of warfare and the advance of medi-
cal science and hygiene. In the Cri-
mean war of 1854 the French alone of
the allied powers possessed anything
approaching the equipment now COM
mon to all armies.
The English wounded were carried
on the field in rough-and-ready fash
ion, sailors hammocks being ultimate
ly utilized as a rude substitute for che
French stretcher and ambulance.
Surgeons attended the wounded on
the field, for whom there were little or
no after accommodations, until,
spurred by the publication of Florence
Nightingale's description of condi-
lions, the English government appoint
ed Lord Merbert's commission, which
resulted in more effective hospital
service.
The hospital ship was established in
the early sixties, and shortly after
ward the United States hospital corps
was organized. The army nurse corps
which is an auxiliary branch of the
medical department, was established
in accordance with an army bill passed
as recently as February 2, 1901.
Hospital Sunday is observed in the
United States on the last Sunday in
December, and in England the Sunday
nearest June Is, on which days the
collections In churches are devoted
to the support Of hospitals. The Gus
tom has been generally adopted since
1873. q

The man addressed bowed his head

Lead Miners Pald Bio Bonus.

Should the price of lead average the
merest fraction more than $3.50, hun
dredweight, recent New York quota
ton for March, it would mean that
practically every man employed in the
mines Of the Occur d'Alenes, approx
mately 5000, would this month be paid
a bonus of 81 shift for every day
worked, the Spokane Spokesman-Re-
view states. This would involve an in
crease in the pay roll of the district Of
$4,000 a day, or $4,000 a month.
The price of lead is so firm of late
that there does not seem now to he the
slightest doubt that the bonus will be
at least IS cents shift, as it was for
March, while the prospect is fair for a
bonus of 81.
The normal pay roll of the Occur
d'Alene district as a whole is around
100000 a month. The bonus paid in
March exceeded $4,000.

Several Branches of Trade Profit
by Present Prosperity.

Products used in connection with the
war show an enormous increase in Decem-
Der, 1915. compared with the same month
Of the preceding year, according to fig
ures made public today by the Depart
ment of Commerce. The statement issued
by the department in connection with the
figures says that nearly all classes of
articles are now sharing in the phenome
nal export trade prosperity. Even lum-
Der, agricultural implements and naval
stores, which were badly hit by the
war for many months, now are pick
ing up.
The figures show that the exports of
agricultural implements declined from
100000 in December. 1914. to ST.
100000 in the same month in 1915;
lumber increased during the same
period from 100000 to $5.000,0 900.
The more remarkable increases noted
in comparing export returns for De-
cember, 1915. with December. 1914, are
as follows: Explosives jumped from
100000 to $46. 100. 900; iron and steel
manufactures rose from $14,9OO.000 to

Hard to Keep Quorum.

Senators who have tried it know
how difficult it is to maintain q quorum
in Washington during warm weather.
Senators who are Interested in their re-
election are necessarily absent a good

objects to it, But I think the constit-
uents of senator would watch
whether he thinks more about his re-
election than he does about his public
duties and vote accordingly.

NO demand has been made upon the
company by any committee of en-
ployes. The only information we have
received in reference to the amalga-

presented today and signed by four
men, three of whom are discharged
employees, and asking that we confer
with so-called officials of division of
the amalgamated association in regard
to matters concerning which we nave
had no complaint from any OF our en-
ploveS

constitutes the Membership OF any locai

such an organization existed here is
contained in the letter received To-Day.
Furthermore we have no knowledge
as to who the so-called officials OF TINS
local association may be, nor to what
extent, if any. it represents employees
of this company. We presume, how
ever, it's promoters are outsiders VINO
seek to promote discord and dissat!s-
faction among the employees OF our
transportation department.
"The company has made every eHort
in the past to promote satisfaction
among it's employees and has every rea-
son to believe that our men are salts

Big Problem on Hand.

81 have never known legislative pro-
gram Of as great magnitude and I'M

The two subjects of increasing the
navy and army are both vital; and,
while it will take some time for these
bills to be prepared. there are bills al
ready on the calendar relating to the
subject of preparedness that should
be passed, and passed promptly. | am
responsible for one of these, as CHAIR
man of the committee on naval AFFAIRS.
and it is my duty to call attention TO
that bill and try to press it through the
Senate as soon as possible. 1t is the
bill to provide for Il government armor
plant.
1T ought to have passed the Senate
four or five days ago. but the time has
been consumed with discussing the
water power bill--a bill of great inn
portance, ! acknowledge. But that Dill
could have better waited. Unless the
government armer plant is authorized
at once. great delay will occur and
much money will be lost do not see
any hope from the progress we are
making Of our getting through the leg
islative program before October, If
then.
