Up-to-Date Facilities at the
Children's Hospital.
TWO NEW WINGS ADDED
" *
Material Changes and Improvements i
to the Building at 13th and
W Streets.
j Extensive improvements have just
"been completed at the Children's Hospital.
1.1th ahd YV streets northwest. I
Two now v.insrs were built, corridors
constructed connecting them with the
main hospital building, and material
changes were made in the old hospital
buildings which have made it thoroughly
tip to date. Altogether the improvements
^Involved the expenditure of between
$130,000 and SltO.non. of which amount
$.70,0*m? was provided in two appropriations
of $27,000 each by Congress, while
the balance was raised by loans secured
on tne hospital property and by private
donations.

feet wide, eighty1fhet long arid two
atories in height. The first flocf in
one wing has been made the free surgicbl
ward and in the other has been
placed the free medical ward. One section
of the east wing has been equipped as
the dispensary of the hospital. Free wards
tor eoiorea cnuaren nave oetn piavea m
enlarged quarters in tlie* main building.
" Nurses in Larger Quarters.
The nurses have been given much
larger and more complete quarters on
the second floor of the main building,
wfter^ heretofore, it is elaimed, they
were crowded into a wholly inadequate
apace on the top floor of the same j
structure The operating room has been j
thoroughly modernized, and it ?s now ;
open to little patients sent in by any j
of the physicians of the city.
A feature of the hospital improvement,
however, is on the second floor of the
west winsr. where there has been provided
a series of suites for private, os pay. patients.
All of the work of the Children's
Hospita' in the years pone by has been
limited to the 'reatmfnt of charity cases,
the hospital being maintained wholly by
private donations and by its proportionate
allowance from the appropriations by
Congress, which are disbursed through
the board of charities.
In the hospital formerly there were only ;
the open wards, with a few small rooms
for criti< al cases which required isolation.
but even these rooms were not for j
pay patient-. The new pay ward is
equipped not only for child patients, but
a distinct innovation is found in the pro
vision in each little .suite or a separate
room for the mother who may wish to
stay with her child while the little one is
undergoing treatment.
Seven Suites and Sun Parlor.
Flach suite and there are seven of them,
includes a room for the child patient, a
room for the mother and a private bath
between the two. A sun parlor for
mothers and convalescent ehildren occu-j
pies one end of the private ward. Al-j

though the pay ward contains quarters J
only for seven mothers and their children,
it is anticipated there very rarely will be
demand at any one time for seven full
suites, and any rooms not used by mothers
can readily be utilized for additional
' patients. All of the rooms in the private I
[ ward were completely furnished by char-1
itably inclined women.
Work on the two new wings was begun
I about a year ago. J. H. De Sibour, arch
itect. preparer! tne pians, ana james 1+.
Marshall, contractor, had change of the
construction. Repairs to the administration
building were made by the Page
Construction Company. Final detaili of |
the improvements were completed within
the past month, and the new medical and
surgical wards for white children were
opened last week. i
The hospital authorities yesterday announced
the formal opening of the private
wards for pay patients.
TATTERSHALL CASTLE
AND AMERICAN HISTORY j
Interesting Facts Possessing ?
Peculiar Interest on This )
Side of Ocean. '
Special Cablegram to The Star. t
liONDOM, October 14.?While the fa- 1
mous mantelpieces from Tattershall x
Castle are being shipped across the Atlantic
to their new American owner, the
connec tion of the castle with the early
history of America is recalled by the 1
Boston Lincolnshire correspondent of fehe '
Times, who writes:
' The fact seems to have been overlooked
that; apart altogether from its Eng- 1
lish historical association Tattershall '
Castle nnsspescs a neculiar interest for I 1
Americans. The castle, one of the county
seats of Theophilus Clinton, fourth Earl
of Lincoln, was a center of meeting for ,
the promoters of the Pqritan movement ,
which culminated in the exodus of 1?30 ;
and following years and the founding of (
the Massachusetts settlements. To Tattershall
Castle or to fiempringham Manor :
House, Lord Lincoln's other seat, came
for conference John Winthrop from Groton,
in Suffolk; Roger Williams and John
Cotton, the Puritan vicar of the Lincolnshire
Boston, after which the American
Boston was named. To Tattershall Castle
Cotton also used to retire as Lord i
Lincoln's guest when broken down in
health under the heavy strain of his
ministerial life at Boston church.
Sisters Came to America.
"Though Ix>rd Lincoln himself did not
go out to North America, two of his
sisters did?Susan, who was married to
John Humphrey, and Arbella the wife
of Isaac Johnson, who came into Lincolnshire
from the neighboring county of
Rutland. Thomas Dudley. Lord Lincoln's
steward and confidential adviser, and Simon
Bradstreet. who succeeded him in
that office? both, like Winthrop, future
governors of Massachusetts?were associated
with this movement, as were also
Richard Bellingham. the recorder of
Boston 'afterward the Gov. Bellingham
drawn by Hawthorne in "The Scarlet Letter'*;
William Coddington of Alford and,
of Rhode Island. James Thomas Leverett,
an alderman of Boston, and Atherton
Hough, mayor of the town in 1H28, who
i resigned office at the same time as their
vicar and emigrated to America."

that District Assessor William P. Ricl

e Hope has practically been abandoned of
4 an early recovery of the bodies of Rev.
- E. B. Druen, the Presbyterian Church
K minister, and Miss Sallie Shannon, both
of Snrinafleld. Hampshire county, W. Va.,
* who were drowned last Sunday afternoon
in the South branch of the Potomac
e river while driving to Three Churches to
' attend services. Friends of the couple
j? have been dragging the river all week,
but no trace of the bodies has been found.
A. C. Shannon of Winchester, a cousin
1- of the young woman, stated that the
'1 South branoh is a very dangerous stream
j to ford, and that there are many treachr'
erous undercurrents. It is generally supposed
that the minister and young woman
? were swept many miles down the stream
by one of these currents. Rev. Mr.
Druen, who was thirty years old and a
J native of Richmond, and Miss Shannon
were to have been married this fall. She
was a daughter of Mrs. Bdith Shannon
?" and the late William B. Shannon, was
sl twenty years old and very popular among
a wide circle of family connections and

in many political struggles in years gone
by, Is now having the fight of his life
for re-election to the office of county

P. W. Reherd, a republican, and by Paul
' Rinehart, an independent, who is con0
ducting a spectacular campaign.

a the Post Office Department at Washings
ton for the position of postmaster when
f her husband becomes custodian of the
1 county's finances at a salary and commissi

of the famous cedar chest which held
the papers of the Confederate commissioner,
James H. Mason of this city,
when he and Slidell were sent to Eng
land by the Confederate government to
endeavor to influence public sentiment
there in favor of the south. The chest
was forcibly taken from the British

when lie was released. His daughter.
Miss Virginia Mason, gave it to Rev.

hall of that organisation.
Bears Reported Plentiful.
Persons fond of hunting bears will And
many in the mountains this fall and
winter, according to reports which came
in this afternoon from the Great North
and Capon mountains and also from the
Massanutten hills. People who have been
out hunting chestnuts during the past
few days declare they have seen an unusually
large number of bear tracks in
the mountaips, and several of the animals
have also been seen at a uistance.
Although men from all sections of the
Virginia valley have been brought to
Winchester to assist in the work of picking
and packing the local apple crop of
about 1540,000 barrels, enough hate not
been employed, and, in order that the
work may not be delayed, married women
and their daughters have gone to
work in some of the orchards, just as
they did years ago in the harvest fields.
Good wages are being paid by the growers,
and there Is great activity in the
apple market. For several weeks, or as
long as the warm weather lasted, the
market was low and inactive, but since
the weather has become cooler prices
have gone up. In the hope of still higher
prices many orchard owners have engaged
cold storage space here and elsewhere
for their fruit.
Maj. C. M. Borum, a well known traveling
freight agent of the Southern railway.
is carrying his right hand swathed
in bandages as a result of accidentally
shooting himself last week near his barn
at Strasburg. He found an old gun in
the barn, and when he attempted to discharge
the load the breech came open
and the contents entered his hand, causing
a very painful wound. Maj. Borum
is a widely known Confederate veteran,
and for years has been chairman of the
transportation committee of the Fishers
Hill reunion in August.
Politics in D. of C.
It is predicted that there will be a
lively fight for the office of president
""""""J 1 when t hi* T "n i t?*ii TViuvhters of
the Confederacy meet in Richmond next
month, and it is hinted that "politics"
will be played by the women. Mrs. Virginia
Faulkner McSherry of Martinsburg,
W. Va., has held the office tor the
past two years, and under the rules of
the organization she cannot be a candidate
this year.
The annual meeting of the Potomac
conference of the Lutheran Synod of
Virginia is to be held October 17, 18
and 19 in St. Martin's Church, near
New Market, of which Rev. Dr. E. A.
Repass is pastor. A large number of
ministers and laymen are expected to
attend the conference.
While improvements were being made
at the historic old courthouse at
Charles Town, Jefferson county, a day
or two ago, workmen unearthed an old
tin drinking cup which is said to have
belonged to John Brown, who was a
prisoner in the Charles Town jail, and
whose trial for treason was held in
that courthouse. The cup is now in
the possession of Court Clerk John M.

have visited the clerks omce to see

WHEELING, W. Vs.. October 14. 1911. n
With an attendance of representative p
leaders from many counties of the state h
the lonx-talked-of reorganization of the t(
republican state committee took some h
definite form in a two-day powwow at 4
Charleston this week. Five of the seven- j<
teen members agreed to resign later, and ?
June 4, 1912, was fixed as the day for a '*
state-wide primary at which will be nomi. 4
nated a state ticket and seventeen new ti
members of the committee. n
At this nrlmarv flftssn msmhsra nt ?h? 8
state committee will be nominated by the *
corresponding number of senatorial dls- t
trlcts, and two members at large "from li
the colored race." The latter provision s
Is to insure recognition of a consider- *
able element of the party and is to pre- r
serve a custom followed when the com- o
mltteemen were selected by the state a
convention. ?
The primary will not include candi- 8
dates for the United States Senate or for f
the supreme court of appeals. The judges v
will be nominated by a special judicial
convention. The various congressional. |
circuit, judicial and county committees j \
will be asked to nominate on the date of 1 s
the state primary. The details are to be j j,
worked out by a subcommittee which is j
to meet at Clarksburg, November 5. j
This committee consists of Chairman
Mathews. Secretary Highland, ex-Judge
J. M. Sanders. E. R. B. Martin and L. i<

and made only partial concessions.
Surprise followed the committee's failure
to include provision ior nominating s
a candidate for the United States Senate, 1
especially because an effort has been on
for months to Induce Judge Ooff to per- ^
mtt the use of his name in this connec- J jr
tion. A recent statement from the Judge . ,,
refusing to be so considered took the >
steam out of this move, and there are
reasons for believing that the leaders si
opposed popular nomination of a senator? f<
for one reason, it is alleged, because of
scandal which attached to the Hubbard- si
Scott affair; for another, Deris Elkins, A. ei
B. White, Isaac T. Mann and ex-Senator la
Scott, who would like to go to the Sen- T
ate, believe it the better policy to trust si
to a favorable legislature. a
