Since the St. XmIs cyolctM, which, eocnr
refl Mar 7. ISM. anfl which demolished
the city's original Hospital, founded In
UE3. tha present building haa been In ure.
When tha tornado awept ever fit. lusts
the old building, which atood on tha sits
of tha aaw hospital, waa almost totally
Seatroyad.
Tha hoepltal then contained CO pattenta.
Notwithstanding that several wines col
lapsed, only one patient, a male rheu
matia. waa killed, hat aaveral wr In
jured nora ar laaa aarlonsly. Soma of
theaa tejsrad Sled after being removal
from tha debris. Others) died from fright.
; Qty Hospital, oocupled be

af CZWB par siart payable In advance

pltal. Supe.rlntn3ent John Toung Brown and
his assistants are at work devising; plans
whereby the work of removing the pa-
I llcnta can be carried out systematically.
The magnitude of the work cannot hardly
be imagined.
MOVING PATIENTS DIFFICULT.
The old City Hospital 1s possesed of
many winding etairwaya. These statr
waya lead to the various) wards through
out ths building and oecessltate the car
rying of patients, one at a time, from the
upper stories to tha basement, where, at
tht reception room door, the ambulances
and other vehicles will ha backed up to
car: the helpless away.
Each patient Is carried down the stafr
v.avs. strapped upon a stretcher. Many
stretcher-ca-riers will have to be em
ployed to assist In tha work. At present
only four stretcher-carriers are employed
at tliu hospital. They could only move
the patients from one ward la a day.
It Is t:.- intention of Superintendent
ltrnwn to do the work n rapidly as pos
tlf)l. and It cannot bo dono systematically
unless eighteen or twenty additional car
riers am employed to assist tha four
itretrh-r men always on duty.

NEW HOSPITAL COSTT.T.
The new City Hospital waa built at a
cost of one nltllon doll are. It Is on of
the finest and most complete and perfect
ly constructed Institutions of Its ktnd in
the United Slates. Its yterllizlng plants
In the dreslna; room and laundry are said
to be the finest equipments ever Installed.
A convenience that has newer been en
joyed In the City Hospital Is also In the
r.ew building In the shape of a modern
rystem of parsenser elevators.
The laundry at the new City Hospital,
according to ejpertsi who have Inspected
the plant recently. Is excelled by none.
It In one of the most Important factors of
a hospital, the test and most modern ma
chinery being used in Its erection.
The new City Ho.tpltal will accommo
date comfortably SCO patients. The build
ing soon to be vacated was crowded when
Z'X patients were entered there. Th wards
whll not In fc-rger numbers at the new
hosplti! ar much larger than those tn
the old building and can be made to .ac
commodate comfortably twice Its capacity
of patients.
Everything Is In readiness) for the
change. The wtnls have all been sup
plied with new cots and bedding and other
necessaries. Thr only thing that remains
Incomplete at the new hospital Is the
lighting riant, which le being hurriedly
Installed and which will be In operation
within the next few days. Then the re
moving e.f patlr.ts from the old hospital
will begin.
