It Was Built by President Soth I
Low and His Brother.
The Building* Arc Bat ? Story In Height i
and Wtr* Punned to Curuion.
In with Their oriental j
Surrounding*.
President Seth Low of Columbia |
college and his brother, Abbott Au
gustus Low, of this city and Brook
lyn, says the New York Herald,
have just built and presented to the
mission station of the Protestant
Episcopal church in Wuchang,
China, a hospital for the use of the
mission and the people of the town.
It was erected to perpetuate the
memory of their father, the late Abiel
Augustus Low, who was for many
years one of the leading merchants
in Canton.
The new building is called St.
Peter's hospital. Although the
building has been in course of con
struction for many months, and it
was occasionally alluded to in the
correspondence of missionaries in
China with the board of missions in
this city, no member of the board
knew the identify of those who fur
nished the money for its erection un
til a short time ago, when Bishop
Graves, of Shanghai, disclosed the
names of the donors.
Wuchang is situated in the prov
ince of Hupeh, on the Yang-tsei
river, and is six hundred miles from
Shanghai. It has a population of
250,000, and is surrounded by a wall
thirty feet high and nine miles in
circumference.
The new St. Peter'-ihospital, with
its group of separate buildings, has
been so planned as to harmonize
with its oriental environment. The
buildings were made but a single
story in height in deference to the
sentiment of the Chinese, who are
opposed to buildings with stairways.
The style of architecture is the com
posite, the roofs having the tent
like curves of the better class of
Chinese houses. On account of the
intense heat of the months of sum
mer each building is surrounded by
a broad veranda.
The institution will furnish ac
commodations for twenty-four per
manent patients. The administra
tion building and operating and re
ception rooms have been supplied
with the most modern furnishings
and appliances for the welfare of the
inmates and the comfort of the staff
of physicians and attendants. Part
of the furnishings and a fine micro
scope are gifts from St. George's
church, this city, of which Mr. Low
is an active member.
Medical work in all the Chinese
malign iiitlui iu os of^evil' spirits^
Especially is this the case when
surgical operations are necesssry.
Despite these obstacles, however,
cpnsiderable medipal work was done
during the last year at Wuchang
mission.
At the dispensary there was an
attendance of 11,1549. while 195 per
sons were admitted as in-patients;
330 minor operations and 119 seri
ous ones were performed; 168 pa
tients were attended at home, the
majority being for opium poisioning.
A Bright Dog.
The proprietor of the Lancaster
hotel at Georgetown, Ky., owns the
brightest dot' in Kentucky. It was
formerly the property of Charles
Theobald, manager of the American
District Telegraph company ut Cin
cinnati, where every morning it
went to the Tribuneoffice for the pa
per, carried luncheon and often notes
and packages without an attendant.
At Georgetown lie is used in notify
ing persons wanted at the telephone,
i there being no exchange there. He
knows the names atul residences of
people most often called, aud carries
to them, without error, a card
saying: "Wanted at telephone.'
The editor of the Georgetown News
has sent papers by him to friends
about the town without mistake.
He is a water spaniel, brown and
bow-legged, but he is bright.
Florence Blythe's Million?.
Florence Blyt.he-Hinckley has vir
tually come into possession of the
large estate which contestants in
the California courts so resolutely
tried to wrest from her. Generally
speaking, it is worth from $4,000,000
to $5,000,000. It consists of a San
Francisco bldbk, 80,000 acres of land
in San Diego county, 44,000 acres of
land in Mexico, adjoining California,
and an interest in 1,800,000 acres of
land in Mexico. Just what the
Blytheestate interest in these 1,800,
000 acres is will have to be decided
by the Mexican courts. A suit has
been brought to determine the
size of the Blythe interests in the
large tract of land. There is also
$125,000 in.cash on hand belonging
to the estate. This will go princi
pally to pay the cxpensesof adminfe
trillion of the estate.

comet is now noticeable. The ex
planation of it is quite a problem to
astronomera, but it is thought to be
a proof of the existence of a resist
ing medium pervading space, the
friction of which retards light bodies
which move through it. The ques
tions which depends upon this as
sumption are some of them quite in
teresting, for It is evident-that If
this 'diminution should continue
sufficiently long, and the course of
the comet be not too much disturbed
by the attraction of the planets, the
comet will eventually fall into the
sun.
The'domelhas been of quite a lit
tle service to astronomers In the
consideration of the mass of attrac
tive force of the planet Mercury.
This planet, having no satellite
knowu to us, has not been accurate
ly weighed, or at least not as com
pared with the other planets of our
system. In 1838, however, this
comet approached sufficiently near
to the planet to be affected by its
attraction, and from the facts here
observed astronomers have been
pble to define their knowledge of the
Pass of Mercury.
Bncke's comet is a modest little
object, always of the greatest In
terest . to astronomers possessing
moderate Instrumental means, pre
senting as It does many rather re
markable features as to its tail and
the distribution of its light. It is
moving through space completing
itiStrbit time after time, almost
with'the regularity of a train on a
-conducted railway, and on its
sive returns it may be found
,ys within the field of a telescope
:ted to its computed place, a
ntlnual tribute to the accuracy
aud industry of our astronomers.?
