HOSPITAL BEGUN
AT MADURA MISSION
Larger Building for Work in Charge of
DR.. Harriet E. Parker Who Went
from East Putney.

\ program of the laying Of the cor
ner stone for the new Woman s Board
hospital for women at Malura, South
India, has been received by a friend Of
DR.. Harriet L. Parker, the physician in
charge, who went from East Putnev as
medical missionav in 1895. It con
tains also a brief sketch of the Madura
mission medical work for women and
children.
An old record of the mission saws it
was not thought expedient then for
missionaries intending to labor among
the Tamil people to spend time pre-
pairing for the practice of medicine, as
there was no call or practice for Euro
pean medicines. At present the de-
mand is such that the existing mission
hospitals and medical workers, III addi-
tion to municipal and other agencies in
other parts Of the city, are unable to
meet it.
There We're 737 in-paticnts last year
and l2.402 out patients, the total treat
ments aggregating 43,21S.
paragraph in the cornerstone
program reads as follows: .'The new
hospital is needed not only to provide
more accommodations for patients, but
better facilities for work. 1t will con
sist of three blocks, and thus make it
possible for surgical, medical and ma
ternity cases to be separated. 1t will
have room for IS beds, of which 81 will
be in private rooms, affording seelu-
sion, in which respect the present hos
pital is deficient \ larger operating
Ulant will he nr0yidad and Tho room
now used will be kept for emergency
cases. Provision is made for extension
both eastward and by the addition Of
another story, when in the natural
course of events, the new building
shall become as inadequate to the work
as the old one now is. -

LONDON, Jan. 6. = A despatch to
the Times from Piraeus, dated Dec. 81,

Macedonia. According to this story
King Constantine has received discour-
aging news from beyond Monastir to
the effect that Field Marshal Won Mack

on Monastir before another two months,
